Rising straight up from the apex of the black pyramid-shaped Luxor Hotel and Casino, the Luxor Sky Beam has been one of the most recognizable sights in Las Vegas since the hotel opened in October 1993. It is, by any measure, the most powerful artificial light beam on the planet. The beam is produced by 39 individual xenon lamps, each with 7,000 watts and roughly the size of a washing machine, focused through computer-designed curved mirrors into a single concentrated column. Together, they generate an estimated 42.3 billion candlepower. On a clear night, airline pilots have reported seeing the beam from as far as 250 miles away. The total operating cost, confirmed by Luxor engineer John Lichtsteiner, is $51 per hour, of which $20 is electricity. That adds up to $480 a day only for lighting the signature beam each night—or $175,200 a year.

Las Vegas casinos are designed to keep gamblers at the tables as long as possible. Clocks are banned to distract players from the passing of time. Windows are eliminated so that they cannot tell whether it is noon or 3 a.m. What’s more, Nevada law governs even the dice. The Nevada Gaming Control Board requires casino dice to be perfectly transparent so that no hidden weights can be concealed inside. Each die must be precision-manufactured to within 1/10,000th of an inch, with razor-sharp corners and edges showing no rounding whatsoever. They are inspected regularly and, in high-stakes games, replaced every eight hours of play to ensure consistent rolls.

In 1971, FedEx, then called Federal Express, was days away from collapse. Founder Frederick W. Smith had built the company on the revolutionary idea of overnight package delivery using a central hub-and-spoke air network, but the business was not working. The company had roughly $5,000 left in its operating account. It was not enough. Facing what appeared to be the end, Smith flew to Las Vegas and sat down at a blackjack table. He gambled the company’s last $5,000 and turned it into $27,000, which was just enough to cover that week’s fuel costs and keep the planes in the air. The breathing room bought by that blackjack session gave Smith enough time to secure additional financing. Today, FedEx employs more than 500,000 people worldwide and is valued at over $60 billion.

In 2004, a 32-year-old British man named Ashley Revell walked into the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and placed every dollar he had in the world on a single spin of the roulette wheel. In the months before, Revell had sold his house in Kent, his BMW, his Rolex watch, his golf clubs, his electronics, his furniture, and every piece of clothing he owned. The grand total of his liquidated possessions came to $135,300. He pushed the entire stack of chips onto red as the ball was already spinning. It landed on Red 7. Revell walked away with $270,600, exactly double what he had come in with. He tipped the croupier $600 on the way out. The whole thing was filmed by Sky One for a reality mini-series called Double or Nothing.

Islam is not compatible with Democracy
🚨BREAKING: This is an absolute disgrace unfolding in Tampa — a pack of Muslim men swarming and assaulting a Christian preacher simply for reading the Bible in a public park on American soil. They shout that it’s “their area” and try to shut him down with force. This isn’t integration. This is straight-up takeover mentality, treating U.S. streets like conquered territory where only their rules apply. We didn’t import millions to watch free speech get attacked and our traditions get erased in our own backyard. Enough with the denial. America belongs to Americans, not imported ideologies that demand submission. Deport the violent ones and enforce basic respect for our laws and culture. No more turning cities into battlegrounds.

Something miraculous is happening in the USA and the world thanks to the World Cup and the USA’s 250th. I’m not quite sure yet what it is, I have to give it more thought. I think it has something to do with the world realizing that managed decline is not necessary (with Trump’s America as the example), and I think it has something to do with more Americans not being afraid to be patriots about their nation and their culture. It’s more than that though—I have to ponder. Article coming when I figure it out. Any and all ideas welcome.

Think about this for a minute: God came down from Heaven to Earth to reveal Himself to man, as Jesus Christ, and the Hebrews called for His Crucifixion. Man actually crucified God, our Creator. Thank God for His Resurrection and Miracles along the way for most of the world sees Him as our Father and the way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ, not Islam or allah. ❤️✝️🛐🇺🇸
