MARIAH CAREY BOTCHED NEW YEARS EVE: HAD PEOPLE CRINGING.

THE KUHNS REPORT

CALIF-Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Mariah Carey's  New Years Eve performance was a fiasco--a BIG, BIG, flop. She really botched New Year's Eve at Times Square during Dick Clark's New Years Eve Rockin' Eve., with Ryan Seacrest, and covered by  ABC.

She was the headline act for millions of revelers ushering in 2017. She stopped "lip syncing" her song, "Emotions, We Belong Together," and told the audience to finish the lyrics  for her: "I'm trying to be a good sport here," she said.  And then abruptly left the stage.

Talk about a cringe worthy performance. This was it. Here's a Grammy winner that didn't even know her own lyrics to a song.

Boy, has the entertainment business changed. Vocal artists used to "actually" sing their songs when on stage. Apparently the vocalists of today "pretend" to sing and mouth the words and lip sync. And, people pay to see this? It's nothing more than a karaoke performance on a big stage where the pretend singer is all dressed up and has a dance group behind them. But even a karaoke a singer sings with the music background. Lip syncing people just strut the stage pretending to sing into a microphone. To me, that's not talent, that's make believe. Any small child  can do that. Where is the talent in that?

Personally,  these vocalists of today who lip sync,who  pretend to sing, couldn't pay me go to one of their concerts. I see it as "fake' entertainment. A singer should be able to stand on their own vocal talent and sing the song. Years ago, if an entertainer tried to pretend to sing and lip sync, they were banned or booed off stage, But now? Wow! And, - that's my opinion. Make up your own mind. You decide.

TSA FOULS UP AGAIN: ENDANGERING PASSENGERS. MAKES EXCUSES.

THE KUHNS REPORT

CALIF-Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Yesterday, eleven passengers walked through a security checkpoint at  New York's JFK airport. There were no TSA personnel  guarding the security area. Three passengers set off metal detectors, but it still took TSA people over an hour or more to discover the breach. Wow!

The  Port Authority blames the TSA for the inability to find the passengers. Eventually, three passengers were identified through video. However,  these passengers got through the  security checkpoint, boarded the plane and arrived in California. TSA says, the passengers were screened when they arrived in California. Really, after the fact?  TSA also made the statement: "TSA feels confident that the incident presents minimal risk to the aviation transportation system." What?

TSA feels confident? Incident is a "minimal risk" to the aviation transportation system? Are you kidding me? Any of those passengers could have had a weapon! A bomb! Chemical agents! Box cutters! Fact is, they could have had a number of things or devices that could have put other passengers in danger. TSA and the Port Authority is  just covering their butt--(CYA).

If some tragic event would have occurred because of their incompetence, what would their excuse have been then? Come on, folks! Eleven passengers (all it takes is one), walked through a security position, without any scrutiny or check whatsoever. And, they set off metal detectors. Minimal risk? I would say BIG, BIG, risk.

It's no secret that the TSA  misses quite a large  number of weapons and fake bombs at a number of major airports throughout the country when they are randomly checked by their own security  during security check exercises. Most of these federal TSA employees are just interested in collecting their federal paycheck and benefits.

I've said many years ago and still hold the belief that the TSA should be replaced with a private security force. A company who works for a weekly paycheck, and is not protected by lifetime job security, and federal unions.

PRIVATIZE THE TSA. That move alone, would save us taxpayers millions of dollars a year and when and if the  private people screw up, they are fired or replaced. --And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

SENATOR McCAIN IS A BITTER, ANGRY PERSON, WHO BAD MOUTHS THE PRESIDENT.

THE KUHNS REPORT

CALIF: Hello  America, and how is the world treating you?

Arizona Senator, John McCain should have been defeated in the last election. He's been in Washington too long. Here's a man that goes  to a foreign country and bad mouths the President of the United States, implying  that the president is a dictator. Wow!

I suggest that when any representative from our government travels overseas they should act as a good will ambassador. They should conduct themselves in a dignified, respectful manner, when talking about US policy, and the United States as a whole.

Here's a man that hasn't really offered anything substantial to the government for years. His last election was close and if the people of Arizona had gone with their intellect and feelings as to what McCain has really contributed to the people of this country while senator, they would have booted him out. Why? Because he has had no big achievements while serving in Washington.

McCain may have been a maverick decades ago. But now, he is nothing but a grouchy, old senator, who wants to stay in the politicians club and, to hell, with the state of the country. But apparently because of McCain's great wealth and political connections, the residents of Arizona let him keep his seat, (out of sympathy.)

I see McCain as a bitter, old man, that still holds a  big grudge because he couldn't  make it into the White House as president. Not being president appears to be a big sore spot in his life. From day one, since Trump was elected president of the United States, McCain has tried to bring down president Trump at every turn. He and his buddy Lindsey Graham, the senator from South Carolina, (another also ran, and wanna-be) for president, who couldn't cut it, tag team up, and try to obstruct President Trump and the Republican party every chance they get. These two idiots are joined at the hip and clearly are not helping the Republican party in anyway.

McCain and Graham's only interest is holding on to power and their seat in Washington. Instead of working diligently for the party they find fault at every turn and dig, and swipe at president Trump. These two men couldn't be counted on for teamwork if their life depended on it.

One would think that because McCain was in the military for so long, he would be familiar with the concept of teamwork. But, apparently not. Further I suspect that because president Trump was a businessman and not a politician, and despite that, still became president of the US,  McCain and  many of his colleagues in Washington look down their nose at Trump, believing he is not worthy.

I suggest that McCain, Graham and all of those other Republican lawmakers in Washington that feel they are better than president Trump get down off their high horses and begin supporting Trump's policies and agendas. Comparing the president of the United States to a dictator to the rest of the world is the  wrong thing to do. McCain should be ashamed of himself and apologize to our president. And, --that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
