OBAMA'S "FOLLY": AN ATTACK ON SYRIA IS UNWARRANTED. THE MID EAST WILL BE A BLOOD BATH-COURTESY OF OBAMA & FRIENDS.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Syrian president Bashar Assad says that his country will defend itself if they are attacked. And, rightly so. You can bet if another country took it on themselves to send a missile attack on say - - San Francisco or Los Angeles this and any other administration would immediately scream it was an act of war and we would aggressively retaliate. We did that as a result of 9/11.So, what the devil is this president and people like Senator John McCain and others in Congress doing when they say they want to shower down a missile attack on Syria? What a bunch of dumb bunnies we have in Congress. They couldn't find their butt with both hands yet they feel smart enought to start a war. That's crazy.
It appears the United States policy for starting wars is to preempt an attack on another country with a manufactured excuse for the action.
People, I predict that if Obama and others in Congress does initiate an attack on Syria there will be quite a bit of collateral damage of innocent civilians - - that, my friends in a given. Mark my words. And , as usual the U.S. and the alleged partners in the crime will say they couldn't help it. It was an accident. Then offer a half hearted apology.
I said before and I say again - -let the Syrians fight their own civil war and whom ever comes out on top that is the government we deal with.Keep in mind most of these people in the Mid East hate America. They always have and always will. Why should we intercede in a civil war to protect people that actually want to kill Americans? Why should we spend billions of dollars to be MACHO and fire missiles into another country? Some lame brains in Congress are saying we have to attack Syria because if we don't Syria, Iran, Egypt and other countries will think we, the USA are weak. What a crock- that's like two kids daring the other to knock the chip off of one's shoulder. Hell, we Americans know we are not a weak country and can defend against any aggressor on the planet. We don't need to prove it or play a game of "chicken."
Obama and his crew are about to start a war because they want to pound their chest indicating that we are the best and can attack anyone we want to, at anytime. That's sad. I will also predict that if Obama goes forward with this idiotic idea that we have to be the PUNISHER for wrongdoing around the globe he will be in for a big surprise. This proposed missile attack is an exercise in "folly. " I say, the best course is to let the Syrian civil war play out without our nose being in the mix.
Another prediction - - if this unwarranted, stupid, attack is begun I can see an attack on Israel by Syria and Iran. The collateral damage will be over the top - -and what if Syria and possibly Iran let loose with the full impact of serious attacks of chemical weapons? The blood bath in the Mid East will be something the likes that we have never seen and you can count on Israel and others demanding that the USA help them out with billions of dollars, military aid, troops and they will expect us to fight their war for them.
The United States is putting together an alleged group of military partners to join the attack.. Really? The United Kingdom is nothing more than a lap dog for the U.S. and whatever our administration wants the UK to do it has no qualms about fudging intelligence reports and lying to its people with made up stories to rationalize an attack. It's Iraq all over again. And France, they already say they are on board with the U.S. to go ahead with the missile attack BUT remember what France has always done in the past - -they always whimp out and go home-they refuse to fight for any length of time in any war. So, this so called alliance between nations is shaky at best and an excuse for war. The result is that the USA is left hanging and has to fight the war on our own and lose our men and women- FOR WHAT? And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

WE SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED IN THE SYRIAN CIVIL WAR.
IT APPEARS OBAMA WANTS TO TURN THE MIDDLE EAST INTO A TINDER BOX.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
President Obama and his crowd are again rattling the sabers of war. Here is a man who said we shouldn't be in Iraq when he was running for President. He was totally against the United States being involved in a war. But after he was elected he quickly changed his stance and clearly embraced the war in Afghanistan and a covert war in Pakistan. And, this guy has never, ever served one day in the military - -WOW!
Now Obama and many in Congress are beating the war drums saying we should take military action against Syria. Obama also authorized at least four navy ships to go into the waters off Syria with plans to fire missile's into Syria, possible use of our aircraft and military might to enforce a no fly zone while at the same time use our military to destroy roads, buildings and other structures inside Syria. Another preemptive strike? You bet. It looks as though the United States feels entitled to start wars around the world.
I predict that if Obama follows his war-mongering buddies in Congress and does start firing missiles and possible bombs into Syria he will ignite another war (seems like this is all Obama wants to do - -start wars and spend our tax money to boot,) I foresee Syria setting the entire Middle East ablaze in retaliation for any interference from the U.S. in their internal matters. You can bet if Syria begins to retaliate for our aggression against them that country will align with Iran and Lebanon and bring together all of the factions of the different Muslim groups already enemies of the United States.
I will also predict that if our country interjects our military into the civil war currently playing out in Syria Israel may be attacked as well as other countries in the region. All this because Obama and some hawks in Congress want another war.
Another prediction - - if the United States continues to provoke Syria and sticks its nose into Syria's battle Syria might in fact let loose with chemical weapons on a large scale to even out the fight.
There are many in Washington now screaming that we, the U.S. should take the lead and initiate military action against Syria. Many of those in Washington have never seen a day in the military. Many of those yelling the loudest refused to serve our country and many even dodged the draft when it was time for them to go fight years ago. On the other hand we have many of the old, worn out lawmakers who have been in Washington for decades that in fact did serve but they forgot what consequences war can bring about. These political clowns are over the hill but want their 15 minutes before the cameras so they can get some face time.
My thoughts on this Syria fiasco is that we should not get involved in any way in Syria's civil war. We should have never gotten involved in any way whatsoever and this is no time to double down and flex our might playing the BIG, BAD United States. We will never convince Syria or any of those Middle East countries to go the way of democracy. This administratio is fooling itself into thinking it can make any countrty in the world a democracy.
Folks, it was the Syrian people that wanted to change things in Syria especially after they saw Egypt rise up. The Syrian people are the ones who took to the street and started an overthrow of the regime. They should handle their own civil war. If they overthrow the regime on their own power- -GREAT, but if they fail and the government prevails - -SO WHAT? They tried and lost.
But true to form like most foreign countries in the region the masses start a civil war in their country and then "cry the blues" and demand that the U.S. step in and give them money, arms, and materials saying we HAVE to help them.. It is the Syrians fight - -NOT OURS.
Also, look what happewned in Egypt. Their Arab spring movement tossed the government but lo' and behold the Egyptians are still not happy so they rebel again and look at the mess occurring in Egypt. The Egyptian people are now demanding that the U.S. help them AGAIN.
A point worth considering: I say these uprising are none of the United States business. We should let the conflicts play out in each country as they happen and then deal with the government that comes out on top. If a foreign country gets involved in a civil war it is for those in that country to fight it out but to often Obama and the lawmakers on the hill choose up sides and try to pick a winning horse in the game which results in us taxpayers being on the hook for additional military and humanitarian aid.
This Syrian conflict is now ready to drag us Americans into a Mid East blood bath courtesy of the egos of Obama and Congress.
My suggestion to this administration would be: Remove the naval ships that are to be positioned in the waters near Syria; do not engage in any type of military action whatsoever; stop beating the war drums; stop posturing as the big bully on the block and let the people of Syria fight their own battles, for better or worse.
As to using the excuse of chemical weapons being used in Syria I see both sides are blaming one another for their use and it would be sheer folly to assume that the Syrian government was the one's using the chemical weapons. There is a chance that the rebels fighting the government troops actually used the chemical weapons intending to get the USA sucked into the situation. Doesn't these Washington airheads learn from past experience. Remember Iraq? Our administration cried over and over again that Iraq was using and storing weapons of mass destruction. I think we all know that was a lie and that evidence and official statements was manufactured by our government to bolster the administrations decision to wage war on Iraq.
Obama says the war in Afghanistan is winding down and all of our troops will be coming home. He also said that all of the billions of dollars that were being spent in Afghanistan can now be saved and spent here at home but I don't believe that for a minute because it appears the administration wants to continually keep us involved in wars around the globe. And, now - - we are gearing up for a Syrian conflict to overthrow the regime while still balancing the Egypt misadventure.
Mark my words folks, if we interfere with the Syrian uprising and begin to support the rebels against the Syrian government by shelling their country with missiles from our ships miles out to sea and providing arms and munitions to the rebels there will be hell to pay. And that old standby excuse that other countries will back the USA's play is laughable because most anytime the UN meets for discussions about probable military actions it is a foregone conclusion that the USA will always prevail in those discussions because we buy our loyalty with billions of dollars and gifts to those UN countries. The UN dance is a farce. It's a cover move to rationalize our reasons for war. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

TELEVISION SHOW -"CROSSING LINES" IS A LOSER
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS-Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
This response goes out to E.C. who asked me to give an opinion on the television program "CROSSING LINES." Well, here's my opinion E.C.
I think the show is a loser. It is fragmented and disjointed. The actors, with the exception of Donald Sutherland are poor excuses for actors. Plus, Sutherland doesn't have much of a part in each episode.
Most episodes have these actors running around with a glum, gloomy attitude by people that can't relate to their part in the series.
The show also leans to heavy on the inter-personal relatuionships of the so called team, especially the leader of the team. He and his wife are having problems but if a person didn't see the show from the start they really don't know what's happening.There is a disconnect for the viewers. The show also seems to drag and it lacks real interest. I see nothing real exciting about this show and predict that it wil not last too long.
And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

THE OPRAH DOG & PONY SHOW-AN APOLOGY TO OPRAH? FOR WHAT?
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Looks like Oprah Winfrey is stirring the pot again - - claiming "racism. What a joke".
I would imagine that there are numerous and varied opinions on why Oprah Winfrey did what she did in playing the "race card" against an entire country. I was asked to weigh in so here is my take and opinion on the situation
According to Oprah's story she walked into a store in Zurich and asked to see a purse. Cost of the purse -$38,000.00. The clerk said: "You can't afford this one." " Let me show you something else" (or words of that nature.) Oprah then gets her nose out of joint and screams out to the world that Zurich is "RACIST because of the clerks comment.." What?
It appears Oprah's tantrum was because she wasn't recognized as a famous person or celebrity. Poor Oprah felt "dissed" (disrespected) for lack of recognition so she yells racism and plays the "race card." Shame on her.
It may interest Oprah to know that not everybody on this planet knows actually what Oprah Winfrey looks like in real life, especially a store clerk half-way around the world. I guess Oprah relishes the idea that where ever she walks all the people in the area should recognize her. Come on!
Oprah is a lady whose weight fluctuates from big to small on any given day. Remember all of the diets she went through on her television show and professed to the viewers that "this diet works", then another. Her weight bounces up and down like a yo-yo. Oprah also changes her hair style often and like any other woman her make-up might change from day to day. So, I ask you - -how can a store clerk half way around the world be expected to know Oprah out of the thousands, if not millions of black tourists that visit Zurich every year? Answer: The clerk can't.
I would suspect Oprah expects people around the world to recognize her as the Grand Poo-bah and curtsy or bow in her presence and because this store clerk had no idea who Oprah was-it has to be a case of "racist" and "racism" according to Winfrey's world.
The same thing that was said to Oprah was also said to me as I was growing up. I heard it as a adolescent, a teenager and as a young adult and I have no doubt that thousands of other people across the United States has been told: "You can't afford this one." "Let me show you something else" at one time or another. But like me, I am sure they did not take it to mean it was an act of disrespect.
Oprah's actions and comments make me think she may have a lot of internal, latent feeling bubbling up inside her entire being for one reason or another . Maybe some of those feeling, resentments and whatever other demons she is fighting with known only to her is a big part of this fiasco and rather than make a mountain out of an ant hill like she did in Zurich I would suggest she turn inward and search and seek out her own failing instead of yelling "racist" blaming other people and an entire country.
Zurich and/Switzerland is anything but racist. The country hosts tens of millions of visitors each and every year and many of the tourists are black like Oprah and truly enjoy the courtesy of that country.
Because of the complaint by Oprah the Swiss officials of the country apologized. I believe that's taking political correctness to extremes. If I were the Swiss official I would not have offered any sort of an apology. All that does is give Winfrey what she wanted - - recognition and maybe - - to publicize her part in the recent movie "The Butler."
A final note: - - Just this evening on the television program "INDIDE EDITION" Oprah was seen saying something like: "The purse was too expensive. I wouldn't have bought it anyway." Can you believe that? I guess Oprah had her moment by making a big, big deal of her shopping trip. And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

OUR FOOD SAFETY BEING IGNORED-STILL ANOTHER OUTBREAK
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Our government is clearly not protecting us consumers when it come to food safety. Just recently another outbreak of "CYCLOSPORA" courtesy of bad salad from MEXICO. Folks, this outbreak affected 16 states and made at least 400 people ill, some left in critical condition.
How many times do hundreds and thousands of people have to fall ill or even die because of bad food being shipped into this country from Mexico. Our FDA and politicians ignore the tainted food on a regular basis. The U.S. gives tens of billions of dollars to other countries in "foreign aid', and we build up their borders, their schools and infrastructure with even more money but when it come to protecting citizens of the United States they do not want to spend the money. Go Figure!
Just a side note: Our administration gives Egypt 1.5 BILLION dollars a year in foreign aid and even when there is a coup in that country Obama and his people still want to send Egypt the 1.5 BILLION dollars. And, it is clearly unlawful to do that since that country was taken over by a coup. Can you imagine what that 1.5 billion dollars could do right here in this country building up our food safety program and building up our own roads, bridges and infrastructure? Wow!
This most recent cyclospora outbreak is just one of many that has occurred in the U.S. and people are getting sick . Some people die.
The government, especially Congress has to assure us U.S. citizens that the food being imported into this country is safe to eat. They are not doing that. They have fallen down on the job for decades.
Food from Mexico is bad, very bad. I know because my mother (God bless her soul) traveled to Mexico, and ate salads while there and became deathly ill. When she returned to the United States she sought out medical help and was told by a renown physician that she had to lose a Kidney because she had eaten tainted salad in Mexico. Yep, mom lost one of her Kidney's to salad from Mexico. The doctor told mom that food grown in fields in Mexico were not attended to properly. He explained that the crops grown in Mexico were always exposed to urine and feces from the workers and that the water used to irrigate the crops was dirty and filthy and contained all types of disease.
This current outbreak of Cyclospora was traced to a company named: Taylor Farms of Mexico, (Aka) Taylor Farms de Mexico S de R.L. de C.V.. It is supposedly owned and operated by an American firm but it is reported that an inspection of the farm has not been done in years. AND, you wonder why we Americans get sick from bad food. The American companies that have an interest in these farms care less about food safety (It's all about MONEY ).
This bad food was shipped to "Red Lobster" and "Olive Garden Restaurtants" just to mention a couple of places. These are popular spots for people eating out but little did the customers know when munching down the salads that it was a possible death sentence for their family.
People, personally, I will not eat produce or any food that I know is shipped into the states from MEXICO. YEA!!! for labeling. I check the labels on the tomatoes and other produce when I go to the market. If it states "Product of Mexico" I pass it up. In restaurants I do not have the luxury of finding out where the produce came from. That's SCARY.
I know I miss out on certain produce in season because many super markets and places like Wal-Mart sell produce from Mexico. I refuse to buy it. I look for produce from places like California and Florida. If it is stamped ("Product of the U.S.) I will buy it.
This practice of our government having such open borders and importing food and produce from other countries frightens me. It has been reported that only five (5) percent, [if that] is truly inspected as it arrives here in this country. That is BAD.
I know we have the ability to inspect ALL of our food as it comes into the U.S. and we also have the money but it is being diverted to other countries in the form of foreign aid , grants, and other packages - -that's sad. Our tax money that should be spent here in the United States for Americans safety and well-being is being squandered by our government officials for their own benefits and agendas. - And that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

The government, especially Congress has to assure us U.S. citizens that the food being imported into this country is safe to eat. They are not doing that. They have fallen down on the job for decades.
Food from Mexico is bad, very bad. I know because my mother (God bless her soul) traveled to Mexico, and ate salads while there and became deathly ill. When she returned to the United States she sought out medical help and was told by a renown physician that she had to lose a Kidney because she had eaten tainted salad in Mexico. Yep, mom lost one of her Kidney's to salad from Mexico. The doctor told mom that food grown in fields in Mexico were not attended to properly. He explained that the crops grown in Mexico were always exposed to urine and feces from the workers and that the water used to irrigate the crops was dirty and filthy and contained all types of disease.
This current outbreak of Cyclospora was traced to a company named: Taylor Farms of Mexico, (Aka) Taylor Farms de Mexico S de R.L. de C.V.. It is supposedly owned and operated by an American firm but it is reported that an inspection of the farm has not been done in years. AND, you wonder why we Americans get sick from bad food. The American companies that have an interest in these farms care less about food safety (It's all about MONEY ).
This bad food was shipped to "Red Lobster" and "Olive Garden Restaurtants" just to mention a couple of places. These are popular spots for people eating out but little did the customers know when munching down the salads that it was a possible death sentence for their family.
People, personally, I will not eat produce or any food that I know is shipped into the states from MEXICO. YEA!!! for labeling. I check the labels on the tomatoes and other produce when I go to the market. If it states "Product of Mexico" I pass it up. In restaurants I do not have the luxury of finding out where the produce came from. That's SCARY.
I know I miss out on certain produce in season because many super markets and places like Wal-Mart sell produce from Mexico. I refuse to buy it. I look for produce from places like California and Florida. If it is stamped ("Product of the U.S.) I will buy it.
This practice of our government having such open borders and importing food and produce from other countries frightens me. It has been reported that only five (5) percent, [if that] is truly inspected as it arrives here in this country. That is BAD.
I know we have the ability to inspect ALL of our food as it comes into the U.S. and we also have the money but it is being diverted to other countries in the form of foreign aid , grants, and other packages - -that's sad. Our tax money that should be spent here in the United States for Americans safety and well-being is being squandered by our government officials for their own benefits and agendas. - And that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
