VIDEOWe had a great day at the Casino on Saturday. The key to our happiness was money management namely CASHING OUT whenever we had over $60 on the slot machine. By sticking to our money management routine we dug ourselves out of an almost $60 hole and ended with with just over $500 net for the day.In this video you can see how we stick fairly stringently to our money management by frequently cashing out our vouchers

VIDEOHere is a summary of the WILD experiences I had in Portugal over the course of 11 days from May 20 to May 31 which feels more like a couple of months. This is just a summary of what I will show in more detail with photos and videos over the course of the next few weeks which will be posted on weekends. Some of what you are about to see and hear appears no where else and hopefully will save you a lot of money and grief if you decide to visit that magical country.I barely scratched the surface...

VIDEOThe DUmmie FUnnies had a very nice run but all good things must come to an end eventually.

VIDEOBrian Craig, the co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show, was speaking to a very very weird caller who claimed he had a "gotcha" tape of Brian saying something earlier on the show that day (August 20, 2024). When challenged by Brian to play the tape the weird caller said he couldn't because the tape was too far away from him in his house as if he lived in some sort of vast mansion. Brian then speculated that the caller was probably drunk on Thunderbird. Later in the show Brian explained he mentioned Thunderbird because he remembered my story about...

Day #7 of the Top 50 songs on my iTunes playlist -- ranked in reverse order by play frequency from #50 to #1 and presented here on a series of FR threads. I'm posting them here on a new thread that compiles the growing list one day at a time over the next couple of months. I only post them on weekdays and may miss a day or two here and there, so it will take at least ten weeks to do this. And to show my gratitude to the FR management for giving us all a forum to post...

CNN's legal analyst Elie Honig writing in a Cafe Brief newsletter that was reprinted in New York magazine on Friday presented both the pro and anti Trump ways of looking at the Alvin Bragg case that takes place on April 15 in Manhattan. It is obvious which of the two point of view that Honig thinks is most realistic in "Donald Trump’s Trial Is a Rorschach Test."

Does anybody else here suffer from what I call "Alarm Clock Fatigue?" That is the syndrome where even if you get plenty of sleep, the mere fact that an alarm clock wakes you up makes you weary for the rest of the day.That happened to me today. Despite the fact that I was asleep by around 9 PM last night so I got over 8 hours of sleep, the mere fact that it was an alarm clock that woke me up at 6 AM because I had an early appointment this morning made me tired for the rest of the...

VIDEO This is a definite stock up deal if you live in an area serviced by Publix in the Southeast. Right now Kentucky Legend Hickory and Applewood bacon 16 oz packs are selling for $8.99 BOGO or two for $8.99. However Publix also has a store coupon in their Family Celebrations booklet for $2 off. Therefore if you buy two Kentucky Legend packs of bacon it will cost $8.99 minus $4 for the two store coupons you use. The result is that you will pay only $4.99 total or $2.50 per 16 oz pack.The good news is if you can...

VIDEOIs it possible to replicate KFC in an air fryer. Well, what I did was look up the 11 "secret" herbs and spices that goes into Kentucky Fried Chicken and mixed them together with 2 cups of flour. After marinating my chicken thighs in a cup of buttermilk mixed with an egg, I ran the thighs through the mixture and cooked them in the air fryer. You can see my opinion of how close it came to KFC but I also double checked it with others a couple of days later to get their opinions as well.RECIPE: 3 tbs white...

In yet another recent sign that Joe Biden is losing the support of much of the liberal media due to the debacle caused by his enormous mishandling of the exit from Afghanistan, the Los Angeles Times has now revealed the real purpose of a new War Room set up at the White House.Now, you would think that such a War Room would be for planning the rescue of American citizens and Afghans who worked for the United States from the clutches of the Taliban, right? Wrong.

One measure of how far Joe Biden's stature has fallen among liberals due to the disastrous exit failure from Afghanistan is how even many in the media that until recent recent publicly adored him, have now turned against Biden. And perhaps no better example of this is the harsh criticism of Biden by Atlantic magazine contributing writer Peter Wehner on Wednesday starting with the title of his article, "Biden’s Long Trail of Betrayals."

VIDEOIf you have never gone to a Korean barbecue before you MUST check it out. One big reason is that the dining experience is completely different from a regular barbecue. Why? Well, for one thing you are the cook. Yes, you cook your own food at a Korean barbecue as you can see in this video. Also the cuts of meat and flavors are very different to say nothing of the side orders. Somehow I don't think you will have seaweed or kimchi at a regular barbecue restaurant.If you have an Korean barbecue restaurants in your area, I highly recommend...

VIDEOAccording to the YouTube CENSORSHIP policy that got one of my recent videos on the subject of masks taken down along with a guidelines strike against this channel, almost ALL the current discussions on that subject during school board meetings are also taboo. So does that mean YouTube, if they are consistent with their own guidelines, is going to have to take down dozens, if not hundreds, of school board videos? And such videos are going up with increasing frequency because the federal government is now changing their policy on wearing masks, thus causing complaints from parents at school board...

VIDEOParents spoke truth to woke school board power during the July 8, 2021 meeting of the Haverford Township School Board in Pennsylvania. The snarky school board reactions made it obvious that they did NOT like what they were hearing. The parents were quite forceful in their opposition to the woke policies being imposed upon their children. Perhaps we heard from some future school board members at that meeting.

July 11 UPDATES6,642 new cases and 27 new deaths in the United States

VIDEOIt was a very SURREAL experience on the morning of July 7. One moment I am reading a message from YouTube that my latest video has been BANNED and that I could not upload videos to the DUmmie FUnnies channel for a week and the very next moment I hear President Trump announcing his class action lawsuit against social media. Of course, I joined the lawsuit. However, in my case there is a strange twist in which YouTube might be FORCED to DELETE hundreds and possibly thousands of videos of school board and other types of meetings due their INSANE...

VIDEOAlan Duke, the "fact-checker" for Facebook, appeared on the War Room on July 6 and it did not go well for him at all. At first Duke seemed somewhat rational but after being confronted by Raheem Kassam of the "National Pulse" and Jack Posobiec, he quickly devolved into a stumbling, sputtering hot mess of an epic meltdown as you can see.

VIDEOIt was an extremely dramatic and amazing encounter when gubernatorial candidate Vernon Jones turned the tables on a CNN reporter in Georgia on the subject of that state's election laws. However, just as amazing is the fact that the CNN reporter was holding a FOX mic. Specifically an Atlanta FOX 5 mic. WHY? I checked on the reporter whose name is Devon Sayers and he is indeed a CNN senior field producer based at the CNN headquarters in Atlanta. Okay but that still doesn't answer the question. WHY WAS HE HOLDING A FOX MIC???

Aurelian was Roman emperor from 270 to 275 CE. He was one of the so-called Barracks Emperors, chosen by the Roman army during the turbulent period known as the Crisis of the Third Century (235-284 CE). Besides victories against various invading tribes, he successfully restored the Roman Empire by bringing the breakaway territories of the Gallic Empire and Palmyra back under Roman control, which earned him the title restitutor orbis ('Restorer of the World'). In order to defend Rome, he ordered the construction of the Aurelian Walls around the city, many parts of which are remarkably well-preserved thanks to their...
