Warning: What's Happening in Las Vegas Will Destroy America

Oh, boy, do I have a story for you. Who doesn't love Las Vegas? It's America's favorite city. It may be the world's favorite city. It's my adopted hometown for 20 years now.

Until recently, I never thought anything, or anyone, could ever destroy Las Vegas. I was wrong. Everyone needs to hear about what's happening here. Las Vegas and the state of Nevada are in deep trouble. Trust me, you're next -- if you put Joe Biden and Democrats in charge of America.

What happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas. We are the canary in the coal mine. What happens in Vegas is coming to your city and state. What happens in Vegas is a warning for the entire USA.

Here are a few Vegas stories you won't see in television ads.

First, I have to tell you about Democratic Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak. The D isn't just for Democrat. It stands for DUMB, as in clueless, ignorant, blind, deaf and very dumb.

We've somehow won the dreaded reverse lottery. The odds of having a governor this incompetent, cowardly and insane with Trump Derangement Syndrome all at once is somewhere between 1 in a million and 1 in a billion.

Our clueless or suicidal (take your pick) governor made the decision to shut down the Nevada economy back in March, thereby killing the entertainment capital of the world. Six months later, while casinos are open, bars are still closed, and churches are limited to 50 congregants.

This madman is killing both the saints and the sinners. The bar owners and church leaders should get together and sue. They could title the lawsuit "The Catholics and Convicts Vs. the Governor of Nevada."

But wait, it gets much worse. Because all events are still limited to 50 attendees or less, there are no conventions, conferences or concerts in Vegas. We are the entertainment and convention center of America -- except without the entertainment or conventions.

Although pools are open, our guests have to wear masks while sitting by the pool, in direct sun, with temperatures around 110 degrees most of the summer. How refreshing! We're now the mask-at-the-pool capital of America.

While you have to wear a mask while sitting by the pool, even though you're outdoors and chairs are six feet apart, only steps away, hundreds of guests are in the pool without masks, kissing, dancing, gyrating and drinking in a tangled mass of human anatomy. Obviously, COVID-19 only attacks people lying in a lounge chair, not dancing in the pool inches from one another.

My fiance and I love Vegas' world-class restaurants. We sit only feet from the bar. But no one can sit at the bar. Live music is banned. Obviously, while COVID-19 won't attack you at your table next to the bar, it will kill you instantly if you sit at the bar or listen to live music.

Mail-in voting is encouraged for everyone in Nevada. But we all stand next to hundreds of other Nevadans at Costco, Walmart, supermarkets, banks and CVS. No problem. COVID-19 clearly only kills voters, not shoppers.

Our governor demanded President Trump cancel his political rally for this weekend but never said a word as thousands of often violent Black Lives Matter protestors caused mayhem on the Vegas strip 20 nights in a row. COVID-19 must only be spread by Republicans.

These are just a few of the mandates set forth by the dumbest governor in America. Because of all these absurd, idiotic, confusing rules made up by liberal bureaucrats with at least one chromosome missing, Vegas just lost the National Finals Rodeo to Dallas, Texas, for the first time in over 30 years. Dallas will allow 20,000 spectators. Our Nevada governor would only allow 50 spectators in Las Vegas.

That's thousands of jobs lost, thousands of small businesses damaged, hundreds of millions in revenue lost. And, of course, there's no tax revenue either. How will our socialist governor fund his massive welfare programs and failing public schools?

But the NFR is just one event. We've lost all of them. Every convention is canceled. There is no tax revenue to pay for any government services, let alone our gleaming new NFL stadium for the Las Vegas Raiders. No fans are allowed to attend for the entire season. Where will the tax money to pay the mortgage come from? Oh, boy.

Did I mention that while over 200,000 Nevadans lost their jobs because of this dumb and dumber governor's decisions, many of them still (six months later) can't get unemployment checks? The system is horribly broken. The governor can't find any way to fix it, six months later. But his unemployment department did manage to close for the Labor Day holiday -- while tens of thousands of Nevadans are starving.

I was wrong. It's easy to destroy Las Vegas, formerly the greatest city on Earth. Just put one dumb, clueless, incompetent liberal with Trump Derangement Syndrome in charge.

If you like what has happened to Vegas, put Joe Biden in the White House. Then watch as what's happening in Vegas destroys the entire USA.

I say let's get those 2.2 million people living and working somewhere else -- and doing something else more productive.

Good idea. I'll notify the Government Ministry of Central Planning.

I thought ballot harvesting was legal in only California. If they are doing it in Nevada. Call the police.

I have been to Las Vegas twice. Neither time was for pleasure. The first time was a business trip. The second time was to see my wife’s brother, who was dying in a hospital over there.

The whole industry of the city is geared toward people-pleasing. As one who tries to live a godly life, I don’t find the gambling, the bars, the legal prostitution, or the excessive use of lights appealing. The one thing I liked were the handful of Philippine restaurants; at least my wife can feel at home there. It would help if the residents at least voted Republican more often. Was Mr. Root excited about Las Vegas when they had the detestable Harry Reid for their senator?

—the “special legislative session” of a few weeks ago was to fix “Covid” problems—instead it made voter fraud easier—and allows vote harvesting—

How can i best echo your response? Perhaps a round of applause and a loud “What He Said!” To everyone else.
And love the Voltaire attribution, btw.
It is irrelevant where someone lives, Liberty is universal, unless ceded to “authority “ by choice. In the USA, One can always choose to leave wherever and go wherever else. Seems a crapton of illegals have figured that out,too.

Gotta love the Covid-19 fallout as the governors (and mayors) started channeling their
inner Adolf's and began issuing inane orders like in the 1940'a era booted brownshirts.

EXAMPLE Democrat California Gov Gavin Newsom, on signed a bill that would allow judges to decide whether to list a man as a sex offender for having oral or anal sex with a same-sex minor. The bill lowers the penalties for adults who have sex with ‘willing’ same-sex minors. A Judge could decide if the adult has to register as sex offender if the offender is within 10 years of age of the victim. (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...

============================

IT ALL STARTED WITH A TRUMP ROLL---One of Trump’s best trolls:

When Covid surfaced, he quietly said he would not interfere in the states,
b/c (drum roll please)....”the governors and Mayors know what they’re doing.”

ROTFLOL....this unleashed the liberal Dems who began dictating to their citizens, issuing orders left and right.

Recalls, threats of impeachment, protests, outright defiance as the people rose up against the liberal know-it-alls.

Democratic govs and mayors are now taking big hits for the riots, unrest, destruction and violence they’ve allowed to explode across the country ......

LOL

Thanks, I am glad to see that here are people who get it, unlike that other guy, who hasn’t had the courage to answer my questions since I asked it.

Considering that there are 50 states and governors in at least 10 are "incompetent, cowardly and insane with Trump Derangement", I would say the odds are more like 1 in 5.

And when you get to the large city mayors, the odds get closer to 1:1. I can't think of any of them that don't meet this description.

Got both dictators, ugh. 50+ years in MI then retired in NV the first of this year.

And oh, that skank Heil Whitmer sent us primary ballots 2300 miles away that we did not ask for, nor want.

Oh the dems are going to cheat alright.

this is exactly what a Democrat Party presidential administration will do to preserve and consolidate power-as a CCP puppet government in North America

I don’t decide what’s productive. That just is what it is. Entertainment is a diversion, not an essential, productive industry. It doesn’t support essential, productive industries, either.

The place is a literal nightmare.
