• Las Vegas just added bus tours of the homes of the fabled mobsters who built the Las Vegas Strip in the 1940s and 1950s. The gambling palaces were a risky venture at first.

• Daily Variety noted the passing Monday of the great actor James Earl Jones at 93 whose career spanned sixty years in movies, and as the voice of CNN and as Darth Vader in Star Wars. James Earl Jones' last words were Luke, look at yourself in the mirror, I was just kidding. I am not your father.
• The Hollywood Reporter reminded TV fans that the Emmy Awards will air live Sunday from the Peacock Theater on ABC. It's always exciting. The Emmy Awards show allows Americans to see the most number of Hollywood movie and TV stars without having to attend a Democratic party fundraiser.
• Southern California broke out in brush fires this past week with the annual arrival of the desert Santa Ana winds. They bring dry, triple-digit temperatures.

• Miami cops pulled over Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill before the game with Jacksonville Sunday before he caught 8 passes for 130 yards. The cop stopped Hill, wrapped him up, slammed him to the ground and cuffed him. After the game, Jacksonville's defensive coach offered the cop a rookie contract.
• Politico says the 2024 American electorate is so culturally divided that we are virtually two different countries now. For instance, if you are in Oklahoma and people you don't know say hello, they are being friendly. If you are in New York or L.A. and people you don't know say hello, they're mentally ill.
• Donald Trump and Kamala Harris debated Tuesday which I'm guessing 24 hours ahead of time got dirty. I'm waiting for her to ask Trump why he was once white but is now orange. I'm waiting for him to ask Kamala if she'd appoint her old boss Mayor Willie Brown to her cabinet or just blow him off.
• Business Insider listed 12 prominent Republicans including Dick Cheney who have announced they will shun Trump and vote for Vice President Harris. He's not popular at all. Kamala may not realize it quite yet, but there really isn't much difference between being endorsed by Dick Cheney and going hunting with him.
• Dick Cheney announced he will vote for Kamala Harris Friday declaring Trump to be a threat to the Republic.

• New York City hosted a conference of vermin specialists to help the city kill off the 3 million rats plaguing city residents. As a result, the city has installed grids the width of the sewer floors through which the rats fall into huge vats of alcohol. At that point the rats either drown or they pledge Sigma Nu.
• Germany announced Monday it is cracking down on the illegal immigration and tightening up all border posts with neighboring countries. Due to the migrant crisis, Germans feel they're being invaded from France, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and Denmark. Well, I guess turnabout is fair play.
