Uranium glaze was the thing in the 1920s and 1930s. It gave tiles a bright, shine. It is thought that 25 percent of homes built between 1920 and 1940 came with radioactive tiles in the bathrooms and kitchens. You have an old house? Get a Geiger counter and check it out.

Khashoggi Alwaleed Bin Talal And Saudi Influence — A Facebook friend sent us this link concerning the late Jamal Kashoggi and his connection to Saudi plutocrat Alwaleed Bin Talal.
Alwaleed was among the world’s richest and most influential people until his arrest Nov. 4, 2017 by the Saudi government. He owned significant shares in banks like Citicorp; American tech companies including 5 percent of Twitter; media including Newscorp (Fox News), where he was the second largest shareholder; and real estate such as the Four Seasons Company.
The link says that Alwaleed got Barack Obama into Harvard. This claim can be traced to a March 2008 interview with African-American entrepreneur and politico, Percy Sutton,on New York City’s local TV show “Inside City Hall.” It has never been significantly disputed.
Khashoggi, whose uncle was infamous arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and whose cousin was Dodi al-Fayed who died in that car crash with Princess Diana, was quite close to Alwaleed. He and Alwaleed spent five years planning the Al-Arab News Channel in Bahrain which was eventually shut down either to bad management or bad politics.
Khashoggi was also a strident defender of the Islamic-supremacist Muslim Brotherhood so beloved by Obama, and was a friend of Osama bin Laden.
We can’t accept assassination as anything acceptable but we find it difficult shedding tears for this guy. Something really stank in this country for eight years and he seems to have been part of it.
FWIW, Four Seasons manages the 35th through 39th floors at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas where Stephen Paddock on Oct. 1, 2017 shot 471 persons, killing 58, at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival which was taking place 490 yards away. Police said Paddock used bump-stock equipped rifles to fire “over 1,100 rounds” of .223 (or maybe 5.56) caliber ammunition during the 11 minute rampage, including many in the hotel and at police vehicles, and six rounds using a .308 caliber rifle at jet fuel tanks at McCarren International Airport which was about 600 yards away.
Paddock did his shooting from the 32nd floor. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department released its final report on Aug. 3 and names Paddock as the lone shooter. It can be found here.
We remain amazed that bump-stocks can be so effective. Perhaps the military should adopt them.

Psalm 37
Lou Barletta Wins Debate With Casey — Six years ago, the late and great Tom Smith debated incumbent do-nothing senator Bob Casey in that year’s election. As much as we liked Tom, we have to admit the coal-miner businessman did not hold up in the battle of words with the smarmy swamp-dwelling Democrat.
Today’s (Oct. 21) debate between Casey and Congressman Lou Barletta was markedly different. We have to give the nod to Lou as the winner. He was passionate, reasonable and successfully exposed Casey’s hypocrisy on many issues despite fielding questions from a disgustingly biased panel consisting of radical WPVI news anchor Sharrie Williams and pro-immigration Ilia Garcia from Univision.
Yes, the bias was nauseating, apparent, and a disgrace to journalism. Quick clue Sharrie, President Trump denounced David Duke numerous times and even quit the Reform Party because Duke was allowed in. It would be tough for an honest person to accuse Trump of racism but the dishonest persons feel no need to let facts stand in their way.
Wear that Sharrie.
We do have concern that Casey might have scored points among the economic illiterate with his support for expanding Medicaid and repealing the corporate tax cuts that caused so much money to be brought back home from overseas.
Hopefully, voters understand Lou’s points that half of doctors already refuse to treat patients on Medicaid which means expanding it would cause much worse health care and not just for new enrollees but for those already stuck on it.
Hopefully, voters also pick up on Lou’s point that Obamacare stole $716 billion from Medicare.
We also hope that voters accept Lou’s powerful rebuttal that he defends insurance for those with pre-existing conditions despite Casey’s lies.
