7+ mon, 3+ day ago (84+ words) An incredible photo. Solving the homeless and panhandling problem in Las Vegas is actually quite simple. A slap in the face to law enforcement. Time to tax nonprofits? Trump's unilateral tariffs are legally dubious. What did God have to do with it? A chance for legislation that would truly save lives and reduce life-impacting injuries: denied.
