Poker Players who Care which is a non-profit organization headed by our friend Dan Ruttenberg is hosting the Annual Queen of Hearts Charity Classic on Thursday September 24th at the Tower Club in Tysons Corner, VA! Here’s a rundown of the event!

Step into an unforgettable evening of elegance, entertainment, and giving back at the Queen of Hearts Charity Classic. Enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, casino-style gaming, exciting auctions and raffles, and live entertainment while supporting two meaningful causes. Don your best red cocktail attire and join us for a night where every hand played and every dollar raised helps make a difference in our community.

Poker Players Who Care: Here at Poker Players Who Care we are a 100% volunteer organization designed to give the maximum amount to charitable causes. We directly help financially challenged families and individuals going through short-term financial crises (such as losing a job, unexpected illness, etc.), fund local schools projects, cancer initiatives, and local boy’s and girl’s clubs, as well as other good causes. We come from all walks of life, but we share a common goal – to inspire people to fall in love with giving back. Monies raised by Poker Players Who Care during this event will help fund their program All In For Reading.  This program provides professional tutors to economically disadvantaged elementary students in local schools who are reading at least 2 grade levels lower than their current grade level.  After our 12-week program, these students advance up to one grade level. 

The Invited Foundation: The Invited Foundation supports Invited Clubs employees and their families during times of crisis, providing financial assistance for unexpected hardships such as medical emergencies, natural disasters, or loss of income. With a mission rooted in compassion and community, the Foundation uplifts those who make our clubs exceptional by offering meaningful support when it’s needed most.

Your generosity makes a difference! Donate goods or services to support our mission and help make this event a success.

Folks, 75 Radio is also involved! We are putting up a hosting slot for auction! You can bid on hosting 75 Radio for one Saturday night! You can say whatever you want, except those seven dirty words you can’t say on television!

On September 12, I was cordially invited to Dan Ruttenberg’s birthday party on the dock at the Columbia Island Marina near Reagan National Airport! It was the day after the 25th anniversary of September 11. This was a must do show. As usual the party was jumping and I bothered Dan not only for an outlet on his yacht, but to use his forward cabin as the music was blaring! There was no Grand Gunk Railroad but there was some AC/DC! And of course, Dan was more than gracious!

As the party was in full swing, I noticed right across the bay was the Pentagon! I was going to do the show right near the Pentagon! I don’t know of any other radio show or podcast broadcasting live outside the Pentagon!

It was a rough show. First Mike was out again from smoking too much racoon poop, and the subject matter was difficult. We also mentioned the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s murder! But Dan came one once again and killed!

But; if its wasn’t for Dan inviting me. and letting me turn his yacht into a radio studio, the show wouldn’t be as epic as it was. I like to thank Dan for his hospitality, patience, friendship and the great scotch we shared on the radio! The people on this radio show and the people I break bread with are as important to me as the people with my last name. That’s why I call all of them family!

9/11: a quarter century later

Today is the 25th anniversary of the attacks on Tuesday September 11, 2001. Think about it, a quarter of a century ago this tragedy occurred. And many of us remember like it was yesterday. Everyone is going to reflect on the innocent people that were lost and what they were doing, who did what and what really happened and all conspiracy theories. But like always, we’re doing something different. We are looking at the present day and the future. And we are asking if were any safer today than on September 12th, 2001.

Although we have the Transportation Security Administration, and federal agencies can converse with CIA, and we have a “no-fly” list for airliners, pilots are packing heat and we have lawmen on some flights. The answer is a resounding no.  The afternoon of September 11th, George Bush should have issued an executive order banning all citizens from majority Muslim nations. The Speaker of the House should have called a special session of Congress to pass a law or refine the Heart-Cellar Act. They didn’t. ICE and Customs should have rounded up every Muslim that overstayed their visa or violated any law. They didn’t. Is it profiling? Yes. But, it wasn’t members of the IRA piloting those aircraft. It wasn’t Buddhists, or Hindu’s. The border should have been closed. It wasn’t closed until 2025! Then the dumb US Government sent millions of dollars to Afghanistan for “humanitarian aid.” The Taliban controls Afghanistan! 40 million a week!

When we left, we left millions of dollars of our military equipment and literally millions of dollars of cash! We armed and funded the Taliban! Thank you Joe Biden!

Even after 9/11, this nation has been flooded with immigrants from Muslim nations. Just look at parts of Brooklyn, Minneapolis and Dearborn. Then look at all the attacks from Muslim extremists since September 11th: The Boston Marathon Bombing, the shooting at Fort Hood, the vehicular homicide in Manhattan, the vehicular homicide in New Orleans, 5 soldiers in Chattanooga, One dead and one injured at a recruiting center in Little Rock, AR, 14 dead in San Bernadino, 3 dead at NAS Pensacola and 49 people killed at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, one dead and two injured at Old Dominion University in Norfolk. In 2006 a former student at the University of North Carolina injured 9 when he drove his rented SUV into a crowd of students. Then there’s the mall stabbing in St. Cloud, MN. Luckily no one was killed. We could also count John Mohammad terrorizing the Washington, DC area, but he was killing people as a plot to assassinate his wife. We could go on and on about all the incidents. And these are the plans that weren’t thwarted or were successful!

A quarter century later, we’re in Iran. Trump says its to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons. Our friends in high places say we’re in Iran to prevent Russia and China from getting oil from Iran. Either way, it’s not working. We could have made a deal with Iran by buying all of Iran’s oil at a higher price than China and Russia. New York City elects a Muslim Mayor with extremist ties! Muslims attacked the city twice (1993 and 2001). 3,000 people dead, hundreds of first responders, construction workers and volunteers dead! Meanwhile our nation is being invaded!

A quarter century later and Muslims were responsible for the death of 3,000 Americans. And it seems like nothing was done about it.

“Blackhawk Down” Parade on Eastern Parkway!

Probably the worst detail any MoS can work is the West Indian Day Parade. Cops are working 12 hours and told no collars other than a serious felony! If they arrested people for less than serious felonies, all the cops would be processing arrests and there would be no cops left to attempt to keep the peace! What’s worse is that the mayhem and anarchy has been going on for generations! Even under the Giuliani Administration! It’s a total shit show!

The question is why!? Why does the city allow this to happen!? It’s not just one random incident, one year its multiple incidents every single year! The city needs to say no! Either disband the parade or tell the organizers no parade for five years and if it gets out of hand, then no more parade, period! But this year there was Mayor Mamdani and New York Governor Kathy “Hajib” Hochul walking with an army of armed security! And of course, no word from parade organizers to stop cutting up! But nope, it will continue on for as the city lets it!
