Because he was a big-time gambler and well known, he was comped in by MGM so apparently, they didn't bother looking at the ID he presented.
She should be charged with ID fraud for using two different SS numbers and who knows what else.
HOW did Paddock keep his stash of weapons hidden from hotel staff who cleaned his room daily?
I rarely do any kind of phone poll. I just voted in this one. I left this message
I'm 80 years old and have been a Bud drinker my entire adult life. I'm sick of the NFL disrespecting, not just the Military, but our Country & our Flag.
This is NOT a board for pumping stocks - I hope this post is removed!
I'd like for the GOIP to use the carrot & stick method to get Heitkamp & Manchin to switch.
The Carrot: Positions of power on committees. Even some earmarks for ND & WV.
The Stick: Start now spending Big Bucks to get them defeated in their next election.
Then kick McCain off all committees and put him behind Roy Moore on the seniority list. I look for him to switch to Independent and caucus with the Dims, before he retires.

NRA backs ‘bump stock’ ban, Trump open to restrictions
The National Rifle Association joined calls for additional regulation of “bump fire stocks,” the device used in the Las Vegas massacre to produce rapid fire similar to a machine gun.
The jarring pivot by the NRA, coupled with the White House opening the door to restrictions on bump stocks, all but guaranteed momentum for the legislation in Congress.
“The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations,” the NRA and its lobbying arm said in a joint statement.
“Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law,” it said.
The NRA’s surprising move to back a specific gun-control measure followed lawmakers from both parties voicing support for legislation targeting bump stocks.
President Trump also is open to a ban on bump stocks, said White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.

Retailers Take Action After Reports Emerge About Vegas Shooter
"We apologize for any inconvenience."
At least two major retailers are longer selling “bump stocks” after officials said suspected Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock used them to achieve his high rate of fire Sunday night in the attack that left 59 dead and more than 500 injured.
A bump stock is an attachment that can be legally purchased and that, when attached to a semi-automatic rifle, allows a gun to fire at a rate almost comparable to that of an automatic weapon.
Special Agent Jill Snyder of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Tuesday that Paddock had 12 bump stocks in his room.
On Monday, retail giant Cabela’s had bump stocks for sale. By Wednesday morning, that was no longer the case.
The Washington Examiner went looking for them online, but all it could get was an error message reading, “We apologize for any inconvenience, but the page you requested is currently unavailable.”
The website reported that cached versions of the Cabela’s website show that it had bump stocks for semi-automatic AR15s and AK47s.
“Maximize your fun with this safe and innovative AR-15 stock, which uses bump-fire technology to shoot as quickly as desired,” the cached description for the Slide Fire AR15 stock read.
“This stock is approved by the BATFE and does not require any special permits to use,” according to a cached version of the Cabela’s website. “Quick, easy installation with no permanent modifications necessary.”
Cabela’s did not comment on why the item was apparently no longer available.
Walmart appeared to have also taken the item off sale. On Wednesday, the page for the Slide Fire stock read, “This item is no longer available.”

Restaurant Owner Who Refused To Show NFL Games Gets Hit With Amazing News!!!
ouse committee approves $10 billion initial payment for U.S.-Mexico border wall
The House Homeland Security Committee gave first approval to the broad scope of President Trump’s border wall Wednesday, clearing a bill that would authorize $10 billion in new infrastructure spending, new waivers to speed up construction, and 10,000 more border agents and officers to patrol the U.S.-Mexico line.
Democrats vehemently opposed the bill, saying the wall was a boondoggle and the fact that U.S. taxpayers will fund it violates the president’s campaign pledge to make Mexico foot the bill.
But Republicans backed the bill in a 18-12 party-line vote, saying it was time to get a handle on the border.
“We’ve been talking about border security for so many years, and now we finally have a chance to get this done. We finally have a partner in the White House who has prioritized this issue,” said committee Chairman Michal McCaul, the Texas Republican who wrote the legislation.
His bill goes well beyond wall-building.
It would add 5,000 new Border Patrol agents to watch the line, and 5,000 new Customs and Border.
The legislation also authorizes governors to deploy their National Guard to help patrol the border.
The immigration debate is heating up in Congress, with lawmakers racing a March deadline for approving legislation to grant permanent legal status to illegal immigrant Dreamers.
Democrats want a full pathway to citizenship and say it should be a mostly stand-alone amnesty, but Republicans have said they want to see border security and other measures attached to head off a future wave of illegal immigration.
Mr. McCaul’s bill could become a rallying point for Republicans.
But Democrats said the $10 billion included for infrastructure won’t begin to cover the total cost of a wall, which Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the panel’s ranking Democrat, said could reach $70 billion. He also said building it would require grabbing land from private landowners.
“The bill before us would authorize Trump’s border wall at all costs,” he said. “I hope that after today, we can have a serious conversation about the border and move forward together in a productive manner.”
Democrats said focusing on the border was misplaced. They pointed to a Homeland Security study last month that found years of attention and spending have produced real results already.
The rate of illegal immigrants being apprehended is up while recidivism — those already deported trying again — has dropped from 30 percent a decade ago to slightly above 10 percent in 2016.
Got-aways — those believed to have successfully snuck in — dropped from more than 600,000 a decade ago to about 100,000 last year.
Democrats said a bigger issue is visa-overstays, who are temporary visitors who come legally but don’t leave when their permits expire. Homeland Security data suggests they top 600,000 a year.
The entry-exit system included in the bill is designed to help identify overstays.
During the debate Democrats offered amendments to stop the government from waiving major laws to build the wall. Those moves were rejected by the GOP.
One Democrat offered an amendment he said would have built the sea-to-sea concrete wall proposal Mr. Trump had called for during the campaign. It was defeated 23-0, with Republicans dismissing it as a “creative” stunt.
The president has given conflicting ideas about what he envisions for his wall.
He now says there’s no need for a border-long wall, saying somewhere between 700 and 900 miles of wall is needed. It’s still not clear whether that’s a total, or whether it’s in addition to the 354 miles of existing fencing and 300 miles of vehicle barrier.
Homeland Security has begun construction of eight prototypes for new wall designs in San Diego.

That lady taped a lot of important info. Maybe something will come out of it. At least I hope so. Keep up the good reporting badger !
The National Rifle Association called for a federal review of so-called bump stocks and suggested new rules might be needed for the devices apparently used by the shooter in Sunday’s Las Vegas massacre.

KISS pauses Louisiana concert to lead crowd in Pledge of Allegiance
KISS band members got patriotic during Saturday night’s concert in Louisiana, temporarily pausing the classic rock show to lead the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance.
After finishing up their signature song, “(I Wanna) Rock and Roll All Nite” at the Gretna Heritage Festival, guitarist Paul Stanley thanked the U.S. military and gave a shout-out to Army Maj. Steve Roberts, who was in attendance, The Times-Picayunereported.
“It’s always cool to love your country,” Mr. Stanley told the crowd.
The concert in Gretna wrapped up the band’s KISSWORLD 2017 Tour in North America and Europe, and it wasn’t the first time the pledge was made part of the show.
Last week, Mr. Stanley recited the pledge along with the audience in Sugar Land, Texas, ending it with: “God bless America! God bless our troops!”
It comes amid a renewed debate in the country about paying respect to American symbols, as athletes continue to kneel during the national anthem as a protest against racial injustice. Last year during their “Freedom to Rock” tour, KISS took a veiled shot at former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who sparked the movement.

Gunman Researched Lollapalooza in Months Before Vegas Massacre:
The gunman who opened fire on concertgoers in Las Vegas researched Chicago's Lollapalooza in the months before the massacre, senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation told NBC News Thursday.
The sources said Paddock researched the Chicago festival and hotels around Boston's Fenway Park.
The motive behind the shooting remained unclear and officials could not immediately comment on why Paddock looked into the two locations.
Chicago police said they were looking into reports that Paddock booked rooms at the Blackstone hotel overlooking Grant Park, where Lollapalooza was held Aug. 3 through 6, drawing major celebrity acts and fans, including former first daughter Malia Obama.
[MY GUESS IS THAT HE LEARNED THAT MALIA WOULD BE THERE AND THE SECURITY WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TO GET HIS WEAPONS INTO ANY NEARBY HOTEL.
The weekend before the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, Paddock rented a high-rise condo in a building that overlooked the Life is Beautiful alternative music festival, according to Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo, who offered no other details about what led Paddock there.

The media cannot help themselves from trying to keep their perceived high horse social justice warrior selves from reporting about this, so it will stay around, you can be sure.
Did that awhile ago. I'm afraid the disdain towards the players and the league for taking a knee will fade since the national anthem isn't being broadcast before the games.

CH, I doubt there has ever been a President that came into the office with the intent of damaging our Country as Obama has..
All of his 30 something Czars were Progressive ideologues. Valerie Jarrett was no friend of the Country we know and love. His minister of 20 years screamed Goddamn America! His wife said she had never been proud of this Country until Obama was elected President.
Eric Holder was his like minded AG. Among their common missions was to feed Victimization to Black Americans, thereby exacerbating racial divide.
One of Holders first under handed acts was Fast and Furious. They were willing to have hundreds murdered with the guns Holder passed to the cartels, to create a mood for gun confiscation.
Obama played Kabuki Theater with his Overseas Contingency Operation.. Wouldn't allow it to be called a War On Terror.
He purposely made Iran the most powerful Muslim Nation. IMO he wanted them to be a counter to America.
Then he and his Black AGs crated a rolling cover up of all his nefarious plans.
Trump MUSTbring some of these seditious criminals to justice. If the means firing Sessions---Get 'er done!!!

Americans Absolutely Furious After McCain Takes a Knee
Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain has long been an opponent of President Donald Trump and his agenda, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he’s slow-walking major measures being pushed by the Trump administration.
McCain, chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services, announced on Tuesday that he will suspend confirmation hearings for Pentagon nominees until the Trump administration gives him additional information surrounding its war strategy for Afghanistan.
According to The Daily Caller, McCain told Defense Secretary James Mattis and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman and Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford that he will prevent the Trump administration from appointing needed officials at the Pentagon until he has more questions answered.
“There are not two individuals that I admire more than are sitting at the table facing this committee, but I want to tell you again: We will not accept a lack of information, a lack of strategy, a lack of coordination with this committee,” McCain said at an Armed Services Committee hearing on Afghanistan.
He continued: “And there are several methods, thanks to the Constitution, that we have to try and force a change in that relationship. I’ve been told by both of you that we are having a strategy, that we are now going to work closely together with the committee, that we are working with various allies. I’m glad to hear that.”
Trump announced an overview of his new war strategy for Afghanistan in August, which included sending additional troops to the region to train and advise the Afghan military.
McCain’s latest spat with Trump comes at a time when the Pentagon only has 30 percent of its positions filled, and it needs Senate confirmation in order to fill the remaining 70 percent, according to Defense News.
“There’s a number of them that have been awaiting hearings and confirmations, some have had hearings,” McCain said.
McCain contends he is following the Constitution in his quest to receive more information, but we already know he doesn’t have any intention of helping Trump.
It became obvious when McCain voted against the repeal and replacement of Obamacare, which McCain’s “no” vote killed the bill’s chances of passing in the Senate on two separate occasions.
Differences over health care aside, McCain could have used his influential Senate position to carry the ball for Trump when it comes to matters involving the armed forces, instead he has figuratively taken a knee.
“The Constitution says that the Senate has the obligation to advise and consent. I am in keeping with the Constitution of the United States. When I got re-elected, I said I would support and defend the Constitution. I didn’t say I would support and defend the president of the United States,” he added.
McCain’s delay will prevent Trump nominee the confirmations of Washington insider Mark Esper for secretary of the Army, and Robert Wilkie, a former member of Trump’s transition team, for undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, The Daily Caller reported.
Americans on social media were not pleased with McCain’s performance.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., echoed a similar tune to McCain and tried asking Mattis why he wouldn’t release additional information on his war strategy in Afghanistan. She even asked for commitments from the two Pentagon leaders to about the number of troops that would be used and their missions in Afghanistan, according to Defense News. Not surprisingly, they declined.
Mattis’ response is exactly why he has been nicknamed “Mad Dog” and why he is the perfect man to lead our nation’s defense.
“No, ma’am, if it involves telling the enemy anything that will help them, and yes, ma’am, if it involves honesty with this committee in private, at any time, at closed hearing, we will get as specific as you wish. No reservations at all in private,” Mattis said.
McCain has also criticized Trump for his bold stance on North Korea because the Arizona Republican apparently believes talking to the brutal dictator is a more viable strategy than assuring the U.S. will defend itself at all costs.
From backstabbing Republicans with his vote against Obamacare repeal efforts to hindering the president’s nominations on several occasions, one could assess that McCain is determined to side with the Democrat Party over Trump.

Photo of Guy With Bullet in Neck Goes Viral…But His Story Is Even More Incredible
Following the devastating attack in Las Vegas on Sunday night that left at least 59 dead and more than 500 wounded, one man’s brave story will make everyone who hears it proud to be an American.
According to the Independent Journal Review, Jonathan Smith, a copy machine repairman from California, attended the 91 Route Harvest Music Festival on Sunday with nine members of his family.
Just after the shots were heard from during country star Jason Aldean’s set, Smith immediately made sure his family members were safe, though they were scattered throughout the crowd.
Smith said he then ran back into the crowd to save others. He told The Washington Post he kept yelling, “Active shooter, active shooter, let’s go! We have to run!”
He began directing the audience toward a handicapped parking area, which was away from Las Vegas Boulevard and presumably out of the gunman’s line of sight. Smith said it was a field filed with cars, so they crouched behind the vehicles for safety.
Smith’s bravery didn’t stop there, though.
After running back into the concert and line of fire, Smith was shot in the neck while trying to save more people. He told The Washington Post he was trying to warn a group of girls to get on the ground to avoid being seen by the gunman when a bullet hit him on the side of his neck.
“I couldn’t feel anything in my neck. There was a warm sensation in my arm,” Smith said from the Sunrise Hospital lobby on Monday while waiting to be released.
Smith has a fractured collarbone, a bruised lung and a cracked rib following his heroic efforts to save many other people. The doctors have reportedly decided to leave the bullet in his neck temporarily because they fear moving it may inflict more damage at this time.
Smith said an off-duty police officer from San Diego saved his life. He said the officer flagged down a vehicle and got Smith a ride to a nearby hospital.
Smith got in the back of a pickup truck, which had several other wounded victims in the bed of the truck, as well.
“I really didn’t want to die,” Smith said.
This photo of Smith sitting in the hospital room has gone viral, and it’s because he’s nothing short of a brave, heroic American.
He reportedly saved at least 30 people Sunday night.
Smith is an American hero!
Seeing Smith, and many other Americans, put themselves in danger to help others is what America is all about.
This is why we stand for our national anthem and the flag — to show respect toward heroic Americans who make our country the greatest on earth.

The shooting stopped around 10:15 and the police went room to room clearing occupants and moving them to safety. I think he was dead shortly after the shooting stopped.
She has a lot of questions to answer.
Police said Paddock used her slot card to gamble with and her ID to check into the hotel.
There are thousands of questions that need to be answered. The police say Paddock checked into the hotel on Sept. 28th but hotel employees say he was there on the 25th and signed a room service receipt on the 27th.

TRUTH - with James O'Keefe
For anyone who thinks Paddock had a lot of weapons:
Most Armed Man in America
mr40, I would guess he probably told her the guns were collector quality and bought them as an investment.
Are you sure he had her debit card as I remember it being reported he had her players card from the casino.
I wonder if the ranges in Vegas allow a shooter to use a bump fire rifle in the range?
Sheriff Lombardo: Paddock was living a secret life which we do not understand
I find it impossible to believe that this girl lived with Paddock in at least two homes for several years and never saw the weapons. Where did he hide them?
Why did he have her debit card and identification with him in the hotel room?
Yes Sir the people will not be happy. Crimes (some of which to be treason) were blatantly committed. Patriots who died families were lied too face to face by the previous Administration. Some in the military were jailed for taking pictures ! Yest those who are really guilty of serious crimes are still walking around and undermining President Trump.
People are not going to forget IMO. The President has to do what he stated, Law and Order. I support President Trump 100% he has done a great deal of good. We need a new AG, one that will follow the Law.

I'll bet your conditions were more dangerous than relief efforts in PR. The scale in PR is much larger.
Ruger American. $371. Cheap deer rifle for the common hunter. Bolt action. 4 round capacity. Slow. Not much use for Stephen Paddock's crime. Nothing 'bizarre' about it Not being used by Stephen Paddock at the hotel. It's bizarre that he bought it.
Yes. It didn't start with Obama but Obama was a master at ingraining corruption. The Masters got their money's worth with Obama.
I know someone who works in a group with subjects of satanic ritual abuse. They said that Stephen Paddock showed classic signs of satanic ritual abuse.
I wonder if some people who run or work at Mandalay Bay are part of Stephen Paddock's plan.
