BILL COSBY SHOULD TRY SOME HONEST REDEMPTION.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Marilyn, from Ohio, asked my opinion on the Bill Cosby matter. So, here it is Marilyn. If all of the allegations that have surfaced are true then I believe there should be some kid of an apology from Cosby. Since statute of limitations apply after all these years I can't see where any criminal action could be taken against Cosby today.
That said, personally, I have no use for predators and according to all of the information provided by the large number of women that came forward describing the alleged sexual acts I think there should be consequences to the alleged predator.
It appears that all of the complaining women tell the same story: They allege Cosby drugged them and then committed sexual acts upon their bodies, without their permission. Most all tell the same tale and all said they were afraid to come forward because no one would believe them and because he was : "BILL COSBY"
It was also reported in the media that person(s) in the entertainment industry knew of Cosby's alleged crimes, but said nothing. It was also reported that at least one case was settled before it went to court.
The sad part is: How does a man that has most everything they would ever want stoop to DRUGGING women to have their way with them sexually. I'm sure that Cosby could have had many women just by asking them to sleep with him. There are tons of star struck women in the country that would have sex for the chance of being in a movie, sit com, or whatever. It happens every day. The movie/entertainment industry is rife with that sort of thing. But possibly, Cosby, for reasons only known to him decided that his way to have sex is to incapacitate the woman by drugs and have his way. Was he afraid these women would say "No?" Did he think he couldn't get these women in bed without drugging them? Who knows? Cosby is not talking. Apparently, if the allegations are true. That was Cosby's "mode of operation."
Yet, the hits, keep on coming, don't they? It seems another woman comes forward most everyday. People often say, where there's smoke there's fire but in Cosby's case it looks like a firestorm.
The networks were right in cancelling any upcoming television show that was in production for Cosby. I say they were right when they took his old Cosby Show off the air and will stop running all those reruns and it was correct when the Letterman Show pulled the plug on Cosby's appearance.
What does bother me is some of the people here in Las Vegas allowing Cosby to still appear at the TREASURE ISLAND Hotel and Casino. I think they should have cancelled his upcoming shows. It is reported that the owner of the Treasure Island Hotel/Casino, Phil Ruffin, is a very good friend of Cosby's so since he owns the hotel he has the juice to let Cosby go on and appear there. My thought would be -- WHY? Is raking in the money from curiosity seekers worth the reputation of the hotel/casino? I think the prudent thing Ruffin and his Treasure Island Hotel/Casino could have done was follow suit with the networks and cancel his appearance. But - -THIS is VEGAS folks and juice goes a long way. Shame on the Treasure Island Hotel/Casino for enabling this alleged predator. Cosby's credibility has taken a nose dive around the world. However, this hotel.casino continues to present Cosby. The Treasure Island Casino even said all proceeds from Cosby's shows will go to charity. I say, that doesn't make it right. Cosby's contract and any future contract at the hotel/casino should be cancelled.
Would I pay to see the man perform? No!
Where's the women's groups. They should be taking to the streets here in Las Vegas protesting Cosby's appearance at the TI.
Some of my thoughts in this matter are that Bill Cosby's situation should be treated similar to how the nation and public treated O.J.Simpson. Shun the guy, don't pay to see him appear in public.Why would you? What would he say during a performance that would be of interest to an audience? Public opinion counts for a lot. I also predict the Cosby situation will get worse with each new revelation that seeps out. It's clearly not going to get any better, especially when Cosby, himself, refuses to discuss the case or face any of his accusers.
I would say to Bill Cosby - -seek redemption Cosby. Go public, talk about your sexual indiscretions that occurred over the decades and ask the public for FORGIVENESS. That's a step forward and will be some semblance of closure for the women who said they were drugged and raped by you. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions., You decide.

OBAMA, LIKE A KING, WAVED HIS PEN AND GAVE AMNESTY TO MILLIONS. THAT'S WRONG!
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Today, November 21, 2014, President Obama came to Las Vegas to tout his immigration executive order.
If Congress believes his actions are illegal why didn't they stop him before he could put a pen to paper allowing approximately 5. 3 million illegal immigrants to stay in America. What about injunctions? Don't they apply to the president? Doesn't the law apply to him? I'm sure Congress could find a way to stifle this unconstitutional end run around Congress allowing all these illegals to remain in the United States.
I see Obama's move as strictly political. The Democrats lost the mid-term election so he (King Obama) wants the Democrats to regain the majority in the 2016 presidential elections so he plays the Hispanic card to win over the Latinos in the 2016 election. In addition, remember,Senator Harry Reid from Nevada is running again and it is no coincidence that ( Emperor Obama) decided to travel to Las Vegas to sign his immigration executive order. Why? It is one of the largest Hispanic communities in the United States. Politics as usual? You bet. Two-Thirds of all of these illegal individuals that will benefit from Obama's mish-mosh act are from Mexico .
Obama's crazy move on immigration is the biggest change since President Reagan gave millions of illegals amnesty in 1986. Then Reagan promised that his amnesty would stop the flow of illegal aliens into the U.S., BUT as history can show, it didn't do that. In fact, the illegal aliens coming into the United States grew by millions - - some say (11 million), others say (14 million) and there have been reports that the actual figure is really (21 million) illegal aliens living in the U.S.
I submit that this political game by Obama and his administration dealing with "illegals" will only encourage more "illegal aliens" to "illegally" cross into the U.S. In 1986 amnesty didn't help and this BACK DOOR amnesty of Obama's will not help stop the flow either. What will stop the illegal aliens from coming to America is strict enforcement, Some of my suggestions would be: A fence running the full length of the Southern border; a substantial increase of Border Patrol agents actually patrolling the border; more intense video monitoring along the full length of the border; increase in drone surveillance; mandate that ALL EMPLOYERS in the U.S .use the E-Verify Identification system. If the person is found to be illegal through E-Verify, -- "No work." Chances are the "illegal alien" will head for their home country when they find they can't get work AND E-VERIFY will do that. Then, an important aspect to quash the "illegal alien" flow would be to ACTUALLY send the illegals back at the point of crossing the border.
Currently Obama and his NANNY administration issued orders to immigration officials, law enforcement and his justice department not to arrest illegals, UNLESS they are criminals. What a joke. I would say that when an illegal sneaks into the USA - -that is an illegal act. Thus, they are indeed a criminal.
Obama and his ilk clearly want to dismantle the law enforcement powers of those agencies that can and should enforce the laws we already have on the books regarding immigration. Our law enforcement officers swore to uphold the constitution and the law of the land but Obama and the Department of Homeland Security has issued policy to these law enforcement people to ignore the law. Can you imagine? Fact is, Obama and his cadre of wimpy colleagues SUE law enforcement and state and local agencies claiming that their efforts DO NOT match federal "enforcement priorities."
Recent polls have indicated that the majority of Americans disapprove of the president's call for AMNESTY and they want Obama to work with Congress to resolve the immigration nightmare. Further the people of America feel that they would like to see Obama's administration FAITHFULLY and HONESTLY administer our nation's laws rather than pick and choose the ones he wants to manipulate -- and that includes the immigration system.
This move by Obama with his executive order will now allow MILLIONS of illegals to get jobs and work, (according to the president) but I offer the view that we have millions of actual legal U. S. CITIZENS out of work struggling. Consider all of the veterans that returned from combat that need to find a job and earn a salary. These "illegal aliens" that Obama gave his blessings will now take those jobs from the Vets and American citizens - -DON'T KID YOURSELF, that will happen.
Finally, it appears that the toughest Sheriff in America. Joe Arpaio filed suit against Obama and his administration over Obama's immigration end run--Hooray!!! Why doesn't Congress and states do the same?
Boy, will I be glad when Obama's term comes to an end. He is mucking up this country beyond recognition. As you all know, I am an independent voter. Always have been and always will be. I vote for the person that I think will do the best job for the country and when Obama first ran for president and articulated his ideas I DID vote for him. I thought there would be a change, as he promised. But after finding out he lied to the American people and clearly backed off of a number of things he promised AMERICA I voted against him the second time around. This guy has dragged America down, way down. Under his so-called (ha, ha) leadership we see the economy in the toilet, job losses, wages down, he is causing and funding perpetual wars around the world, his administration prints money whenever they need it, causing the value of our dollar to sink like a rock -- and , the list can go on and on with Obama's failures.
People, we need better to run this great country. Here's hoping that the Republicans enormous win in the mid-terms will put them on notice to get things done, and quickly. For starters, the Keystone Pipe Line project-- thousands of jobs will be good; redo infrastructure in the country - -more jobs, that's good. Repeal the current Obama Health Plan and undo Obama's political immigration move because AMERICANS DO NOT WANT AMNESTY and that is what Obama has done today. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

BRITNEY SPEARS LAS VEGAS SHOW BUMS PEOPLE OUT.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
"Britney Spears Day" and presenting her with the key-to-the city? What a joke. It looks like Las Vegas is reaching to the bottom of the barrel. Caesars Entertainment artists congratulated her for becoming this years biggest Strip star. Who are they kidding? The PR people for Caesars is trying to put a good face on the failing drawing power of Ms. Spears.
As I said before in blogs regarding Britney Spears, she is an over the hill "bubble-gum" pretend entertainer. When she was brought to Las Vegas by the casino honchos to perform (if that's what you call it) they paid her million dollars for a contract. Now I bet they are wishing they had never signed her to a long contract. I've always maintained she is not "star" power and for the PR push that she is this years biggest Strip Star is laughable.
Her show in Las Vegas is a dud. I predicted that Spears would bomb out even before her opening night in Las Vegas. Now there are reports that she has tons of unsold seats at her performances. The Halloween show only sold half of the tickets for her show. Billboard magazine reported that in October, Britney sold only SEVENTY-THREE (73%) percent of seats for her show.
I also predicted early on before she opened in Las Vegas that since she was a pretend entertainer and "lip synced", pretending to sing songs that the audience would not buy her routine. It appears I was right on, again. Complaints from around the country is that she li syncs, mouthing the words to the songs. And, get this, this lady also charges $2,500 for a meet-and-greet. Who in their right mind would want to pay $2,500 to shake the hand of someone who only pretends. Maybe if it were $5.00, it would be worth meeting her. But $2,500? Come on! Talk about a rip off. Entertainers that actually sing their songs and have name recognition never charged that much for an up close.
Ticket sales for Britney are so bad that her promoters said they would give "free" tickets to people named, "Britney" and to top that, the person didn't even have to spell their name like Britney's. It could be any variation on the name Britney. That's sad, folks. Anything to fill the seats, right? But even that did not do it. Sold out audiences for Britney doesn't happen and won't happen. It takes a lot of talent for a person to sell 4,600 tickets at $525.00 dollars a pop PLUS a fee-for seats each and every show.And talent is something Britney cannot conjure up.
I suggest you could put a Styrofoam mannequin up on stage and play a juke box in the background and get the same type of performance Britney does. Hell, she just stands there pretending to sing the songs and at times when she tries to moves about the stage she appears to be lagging behind any dancers that try to accompany her.
All the show really does is present music which people can dance to. It's not meant to showcase a live, singing performance. Anyone could enjoy that same sound by playing a CD, minus Britney, her dance troupe, and get the same feeling.
I think the casino execs are trying a little to hard to sell this Britney Spears package. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

SGT. ANDREW TAHMOORESSI RELEASED FROM MEXICAN JAIL
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi was finally released from a Mexican Jail after 214 days of incarceration. Due to pressure put on Mexico's government by United States officials Tahmooressi is free and in Florida. There was a lot of arm twisting and arguing . In the forefront was a push from former governor Bill Richardson, New Mexico; Ed Royce (R-CA); Matt Salmon (R-AZ) and quite a bit of congressional criticism of the Obama administration for not doing enough to get the sergeant released from Mexico. No American should ever be locked away in a Mexican jail and/or prison. They are "hell holes." The only way some foreigners survive in the Mexican jails and prisons is by bribing the jailers and government officials. It is no secret that corruption pervades in Mexico and often times it is the only way to receive an ounce of relief for anyone held in custody in that country. In any event the sergeant is free - -Hooray!!
The Mexican government arrested Sgt. Tahmooressi when he went into Mexico with weapons and ammunition. The Mexican government has very strict rules and policy about bringing weapons and/or ammunition into their country. Tahmooressi said it was "just an innocent mistake" that he carried guns into Mexico but the Mexican government didn't buy his version which resulted in his being held in a Mexican jail for 7 months.
Sergeant Tahmooressi's attorney and family said that the sergeant was confused, mixed up and had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) when he arrived in Mexico with the weapons and that the only reason he had weapons and ammunition in his car was because "it made him feel safe". Now that he's home I would hope that his family would see the folly of allowing their son to ride around in a car with weapons and/or ammunition inside "just so he can feel safe." It's a train wreck waiting to happen. Acts of that nature has to come to a screeching halt.
.
Now that Tahmooressi is back home with family I would think there are some issues that should be addressed. For instance, his mother said that he dropped out of college because he could not concentrate. It was also reported that the sergeant was still in the Marine Corp Reserves.
Being an ex-Marine myself I would wonder why a person who had PTSD would still be serving in the Marine Corp. If this man has trouble adjusting to in life how can he lead others in the corp and carry out military duties and tasks if, in fact, he is truly affected with PTSD. The criteria for PTSD lists a host of mental dysfunction that clearly would prevent him from serving at any competent level in the Marie Corp reserve.
I would suggest that Sergeant Tahmooressi be treated for the PTSD and separated from any and all military duties. Lets just look at the one instance about carrying weapons (guns) and ammunition around in his personal vehicle (because it makes him feel safe). I'm sure any person in the United States would like to carry weapons in their car so they, too, can feel safe. But it is not reality. We can't. Laws prohibit such acts. I am sure Tahmooressi knows that and he should not get a pass because he is said to experience PTSD.
It's not uncommon for military personnel returning from their tour of duty who has PTSD to be retired and/or separated from military service and later commits felony acts involving a weapon(s) and I woulds submit that is one reason why this sergeant should never have or been allowed to carry weapons around in his car, (no matter what reason he, his family, or attorney uses as rationale).
If Tahmooressi is afflicted with PTSD and medical records substantiate that fact there is only one solution,TREATMENT. Treatment is the answer. Pay the man his medical/veteran benefits and separate him totally from any further duties with the Marine Corp and/or any other branch of the military service. In addition, keep him away from any type of weapons to prevent him from doing harm to himself or others. There are many options for him to feel safe and secure without weapons within arms reach. If, on the other hand he does not have PTSD, then allow him to continue to serve in the Marine Corp reserve and get on with his life. But don't have it both ways. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
