Our latest trip down memory lane as Pintastic NE 2023 gets closer comes from Pintastic 2016 and a group called Project Pinball which places pinball machines in childrens hospitals:
It’s a charity well worth your time that brings smiles to the kids and a relief of tension for all those involved.
Continuing our random Pintastic videos from the past as we count down to Pintastic NE 2023 we have Jersey Jack of Jersey Jack Pinball talking about his game Dialed In
If you go to the Jersey Jack web site you’ll find most of the games made by them are sold out. That’s how good their stuff is.
Pintastic NE is only 10 days away and since there are no longer 993 Youtube subscribers (funny how they cancelled me just before I qualified to monetize my 14+ years of work wasn’t it) to see the nearly 10 years of video I shot from the very 1st pintastic over the next 10 days I’ll be putting up random videos from previous pintastic events.
Here is Gabe D’Annunzio the man who makes the event possible. I traditionally end each Pintastic interviewing him. Here is my closing interview from Pintastic NE 2017
fyi my entire youtube library (with 970 subscribers) is available on rumble, consider subscribing
The bodega clerk who was infamously charged with murder for fatally stabbing an assailant has had it with the crime-ridden Big Apple and is returning to the Dominican Republic, pals told The Post on Friday.
“He doesn’t work here anymore. He’s getting ready to move out of the country,” the manager of the Blue Moon convenience store, where the grisly Manhattan stabbing happened July 1, said of Jose Alba, 61.
And it’s not like the Dominican is the safest place in the world as Jazz Shaw notes:
Jose Alba came to the United States looking for the American dream, and for a while, it seemed as if he’d found it. But thank’s to New York City’s backward-facing court system, he wound up living out the American nightmare. His great opportunity to have a stable job and a home of his own was transformed in a single week to an “opportunity” to be abused by the legal system that was supposed to protect people like him from the dregs of society.
Consider what it means for someone like Alba to willingly choose to move back to Santiago. Our own government issues travel warnings about the Dominican Republic, citing “armed robbery, homicide, and sexual assault” as frequent dangers. The tourist resorts are safer than they used to be thanks to investments in law enforcement resources, but Santiago is simply a dangerous place.
Yet given a choice between New York City and Santiago, Jose Alba is choosing… Santiago.
I can’t help but thinking of my interview with Maria from my “interviews with immigrants” series when she said she knew the US was for her when she was at a pond alone and wasn’t afraid when there were men who walked by.
If you really want to understand what the left has done to America, this crystalizes it perfectly.
