PRESIDENT TRUMP CONSIDERS JOE LIEBERMAN FOR FBI DIRECTOR? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? HE IS PART OF THE SWAMP.

THE KUHNS REPORT

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

President Ttump is considering appointing former Connecticut Senator, Joe Lieberman to be the Director of the FBI. Wow! I hope he doesn't do that. This guy is the  wrong, wrong, choice to be the next Director of the FBI.

Lieberman has been on the wrong side of most every major issue confronting the United States in the last twenty years, or so. Talk about a loose cannon. This man is it.

Why do I think he is not up to the job? Lets see.

First, he is about 75 years old. I personally think that is too old to "begin" a career in law enforcement. He has been a career politician for decades; he has no real law enforcement experience, whatsoever. And, there have been numerous reports that  there is a strong dislike for Lieberman from both Democrats and Republicans-- (even though the congress people will say he's good for the job) . These Washington lawmakers never talk bad about each other,  in public.

When this guy was running for Senator, as a Democrat, the people from his state rejected him and he lost the election. Instead of moving on with his life, Lieberman snubbed his nose at the people, and then ran as an Independent. He was then reelected. But that move just showed how this man was so entrenched in the political muck in Washington, he refused to give up all the perks and benefits of a politician in Washington.

I believe Lieberman has a lot of  unwanted baggage surrounding him. Some of his past political acts and actions over the years turned many in the Washington beltway establishment against him. Plus, he was a friend of  the Clinton's, and he said he voted for Hillary Clinton for president. So, my question, why would president Trump even consider this man for the respected position of FBI director? President Trump swore to "drain the swamp." And some might think with all of the  years Lieberman has under his belt in the political arena and in the Washington beltway, he is part of that swamp.

Do I have a choice for FBI Director? First and foremost it should be someone with law enforcement experience under their belt -- not a politician. There are numerous candidates that could fill that bill rather than have a political Washington insider. There are many good FBI candidates who work within the FBI that are outside the areas of the top brass where it looks corruption reins supreme.

There are also dedicated, experienced, law enforcement people across the country that could fill the bill. One of my  picks would be:  William Joseph "Bill" Bratton. Here is a man with tons of law enforcement experience. He was former Police Commissioner of New York City, Commissioner of the Boston Police Department (BPD), Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), just to mention some of his experience.

It appears to me Bratton would be an excellent choice for the position. What I would not like to see is, FBI Deputy Director McCabe put in charge. Why? Because Senator Charles Grassley is currently  investigating  former FBI Comey and McCabe's possible misconduct involving the FBI's plan to "pay" former British spy, Christopher Steele, to investigate Trump during the election, in addition to a $700,000.00 campaign donation that was received by McCabe's wife from a Hillary Clinton associate. To me that smells like "corruption," to a large degree. It appears both Comey, and Deputy Director McCabe had their hands in the Hillary Clinton email scandal during the time  McCabe's wife received the $700,000.00 in campaign contributions which were put together by Hillary Clinton's very, very, close friend, Virginia Governor,Terry McAuliffe.  More swamp people? Maybe!These issues surrounding McCabe and his conduct with Comey alone would eliminate him from consideration in my way of thinking.

What we needed to head up the FBI is a clean slate of players, that are clean, free from the taint of alleged corruption. We clearly do not need people in the administration who seem to choose to work against the administration. The United States does not need some sort of "SHADOW GOVERMENT" fighting the policies and agenda of the administration. I don't care whether Republicans or Democrats hold the oval office at the time, a shadow government should not happen. -- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE IS A REASONABLE ALTERNATIVE WITH WESTERN MEDICINE.

THE KUHNS REPORT

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

From: Kathy R.: Pittsburgh, PA,

Dr. Kuhns, I'm into alternative medicine. I'm afraid of most medications. What is Homeopathic Medicine? And, is it safe?
_____
_____

Hello Kathy: Without boring you and going into a long diatribe on  the history of homeopathic medicine. I will just touch on a few insights.

First, to answer your questions. Yes, homeopathic medicine is a safe alternative to and in conjunction with modern Western Medicine. It was used extensively in the 1800's, especially throughout Europe.  In fact, about thirty-seven (37%) percent of present day physicians in France, still use homeopathic medicine in their modern day practice.

Kathy, present day physicians usually treat a person's symptoms with drugs that are available to them but many only treat the symptoms of the illness and/or disease. Homeopaths believe symptoms are not the disease. They tend to look at the disease or illness  as affecting the whole person. They also believe that when a person acquires a disease or is in need of medical treatment, the person's body goes to great lengths to heal itself . However, sometimes the  person's body is not strong enough to complete the healing process. So, the body needs a gentle push and effect to actually  invigorate and stimulate the person's own body defense mechanisms. Thus, homeopaths prescribes a homeopathic medicine to jump start and act as that stimulus to enhance the patients defenses in the body that will fight to have the person  recover from the illness or disease.

Western Medicine treats the symptoms, but when they do treat those symptoms they also suppress the bodies defensive army from doing it's job. Unlike homeopathic medicine.

Remember, many times, synthetic drugs put into one's body is a foreign act. The person's body feels it's under attack by some strange substance in their system and their body in turn tries to send all of their body defenses to the area of that substance to fight it off. But in reality their body defense mechanism should be fighting the disease and illness instead of trying  to rid the body of a substance it does not recognize.

For example, an infectious disease: There is no dispute that  a persons body can  and is growing a resistance to antibiotics more and more each and every day. And antibiotics tend to destroy and eradicate good beneficial bacteria in a persons body. I am not saying forget antibiotics, they serve a purpose, but I'm saying steps must be taken to stop the overdose and over prescribing of these drugs. I feel that a person can be treated with less damaging  treatments. Homeopathic medicine does just that.

Can you imagine? There has been papers written that indicate when a patient is in a hospital for treatment, that person is given anywhere from eight to twelve medications, on average, per day. And, believe it, the side effects of only one drug on  a person's body is very disturbing. But when a person is administered  numerous and/or  multi drugs, that  unknown catalyst, and synergistic effect, of those various drugs, given together,to an already weak, disorganized body is frightening --causing an upheaval in the persons body chemistry, sometimes causing more problems than the original illness or disease does.

So again, yes Kathy, consider homeopathic medicine as a safe alternative that can be used solely or in conjunction with Western Medicine, without harmful side effects. -- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

FOX NEWS AND OTHER NETWORKS ARE ONLY INFOMERCIALS FOR COMMERCIALS. THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

THE KUHNS REPORT

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

This reply goes to Steve M, in Cleveland, OH.

Steve, you wrote: Dr. Kuhns, with the many problems in the news media  today, how can I rely on the information I am receiving from the major television networks to be accurate information. I agree with president Trump that many news television channels are  fake news. Where do you get your news?
_____
_____

Reply: Steve, I can understand your frustration. It's difficult to believe some of the the television news channels  and many newspapers in print.

Currently I tend to get my news fix from "One America News," (OANN). I have found that this  news organization puts out the news from around the world without bias and/or partisan leanings.

I am sure you have noticed that liberals and Democrats tend to  use CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, the New York Times and Washington Post to get their news. The biggie for TV  news channel for Republicans is the FOX NEWS NETWORK. So, rather than watch slanted news geared toward one political party  or the other. I chose One America News, (OANN).

Plus, I'm sure you may have noticed how the commercials on the major networks have increased. I gave up on FOX NEWS months ago because of the constant, continued commercials.  To me, the commercial breaks on FOX NEWS are too much for me. In my opinion, it looks as though FOX NEWS is nothing more that a network grinding out commercials to reap money from its sponsors. FOX NEWS appears to resemble an infomercial program for commercials. I am no expert  with a stopwatch but I have noticed that FOX NEWS will run about (five minutes) of program, then, run (five minutes of commercials.) That is unacceptable for me. The network seems to be more interested in getting to the commercial break that offering news programming.

In fact, I have seen a number of FOX NEWS hosts cut the guests off in mid sentence to make their money on a commercial.  Example, I've seen hosts on Fox News, often say, "We're coming into a hard break, we have to go." And, to make matters worse many of these cable news people use set up video clips to interject in their (debates?), that were prepared prior to any alleged spontaneous panel or guest discussion. Yes Steve, it makes one wonder what is  the difference between "fake news," and the actual reporting of news events. Doesn't it?

It also makes one wonder if you can believe some of these hosts that profess to be hosting an opinion show. On one hand, they say they are only offering their opinion, then, on the other hand they claim to be reporters, reporting the news. And these hosts continue to use the same old talking heads each and every night to offer their views and opinions. The hosts introduce them as network contributors. And these same old, tired talking heads seem to spout a party line. The viewers know what these guests are going to say before they open their mouth. The person representing the Democrats (in these so-called debates) quickly bad mouth the Republican party and trash the president. And, the person representing the Republican brand bad mouth the Democratic party and trash former Democratic party leaders and presidents.

Personally, I think news is, "NEWS," and should not be an alleged debate between Republican and Democrat shills. It would probably be better to have the hosts of these cable shows do the show themselves and "just" report and comment on the news and subject matter, as they see it. I believe it would be more beneficial than having the same ol', same ol' (network contributors), offering their same ol', same ol' worn out, tired, opinions.  And, if these cable networks claim to get a guest, then get an actual "guest" on the show. That is much different than: Our guest is, John Doe, he/she is a FOX, CNN,  MSNBC, (contributor.) Who needs slanted news by people favorable to the  network and the show they are appearing on? I would suggest these cable networks get "real and varied" guests to appear.

I feel that the hosts on FOX, fail to show a real interest in the so-called guests who appear on their shows. It looks like its just the game of  filling (five minutes of air time) to reach the commercial break.  I felt shortchanged by the news content they say they are putting out.  About thirty (30) minutes out of an hour show? Wow! Just think of all the relevant news  Fox commentators/hosts cold cover in an hour show if they only offered reasonable commercial breaks.

And I have observed on numerous viewing that FOX,  more often than not, five minutes before the hour, the host will say "We'll be right back," then they cut to a segment of commercials of about four- and-a- half minutes). The host returns about (sixty seconds) before the hour is up and says: That's all the time we have, we have to go.

Steve, it's not just FOX NEWS that acts like this. Many of the other main stream media news programs and cable shows short change the viewing public to cut to commercials. It appears most of the major networks have actual programming down to (ten minutes) of actual show, then (five minutes) of commercials.  Its frustrating to have the programming interrupted every ten minutes for five minutes of commercials. But I think FOX takes the prize  when they run five minutes of commercials every five minutes. That is the main reason I refuse to watch FOX.

Steve, we the consumer are paying hundreds of dollars  a month for cable service, but it's to the point where we are paying to see infomercials of commercials. Personally, I refuse to watch television networks that squeeze out every last second of air time to run commercials. Because of these actions, FOX NEWS, and  a number of other major networks are off of my viewing list.

I am old enough to remember when the the consumer and television viewer could watch (fifteen minutes) of the show/program, and then be exposed to only (three  minutes)of commercials. So, in the hour show we saw approximately (twelve minutes) of commercials.That was reasonable. I urge you and your friends to count how many commercials are presented in five minutes of commercials. I have no doubt that you will count ten or more.

Where is government oversight when you need them. Right? I suggest that if these greedy television/cable networks want to make more money, they should charge the sponsors of the products more money to advertise, rather that penalize the television viewer by running five minutes (or more) of commercials every FIVE and TEN minutes. And  now, these television networks wonder why they are losing viewers. Wow!-- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions., You decide.

KARMA HAS ITS BENEFITS.

THE KUHNS REPORT

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

This post goes out to Shelly, in Austin TX., who asked me to respond about her recent feelings.

Shelly, you tell me you are not worth anything to anybody. You say you do not contribute in any way to life, or the world. You ask me to tell you why you are here. You also mention you have tried to find your way by therapy, peer groups, and examining different religions and beliefs to help you find your way.

Well, Shelly,  there is such a thing as Karma in this universe. And there are many who believe in Karma. First let me say that each and every person on this planet is brought into this world with a LIFE PURPOSE --- that, in fact is KARMA. For those that do subscribe and believe in Karma know that "Good Karma" for your next incarnation should, and  must, start now. Believe me when I say YOU CAN and SHOULD overcome your feelings of lack of worth, your negative feelings, your negative attitude and actions that are going on in your life. That will,  in turn, set up good karma for your next incarnation.

Rid yourself of all of the self pity, of all your perceived personal failing, your put downs about yourself, and come alive, Live life to it's fullest.  I have confidence that you can do that. -- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

Thanks for the inquiry.

JAMES CLAPPER, FORMER DIRECTOR OF NAT'L INTELLIGENCE LIED BEFORE, IS HE LYING NOW?

THE KUHNS REPORT

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


James Clapper, the former director of National Intelligence seems to have a very low opinion of the president of the United States. This man seems to always denigrate and speak badly of president Trump at every opportunity.

Clapper who has been caught lying to Congress in the past has appeared on various  television shows and  pretends his opinions are credible. It was only a week or two ago when he again  appeared before Congress, and testified, and admitted, that he himself unmasked names of persons in the Trump administration. And this guy was in charge of intelligence? Wow! Talk about partisan politics?

For those that takes this man's statements and opinions under consideration seem to be under delusions. For someone in the government intelligence community to be caught in a clear, outright lie, to congress, and someone who did unmask individual names of people that were not to be disclosed is a shameful act.

It appears to me that  any person who lies to congress and who chooses to unmask individuals names to the public from  government intelligence files is clearly not working for the good of the country or the advancement of the administration currently in office. Can they be trusted?  I have my doubts. Is such acts a part of a shadow government, operating in Washington, working to undercut the strategies and polices of president Trump?  Are these acts to obstruct government? It would make any reasonable person wonder what the ulterior motives  of such a person is. -- And, that's my opinion.Make your own decisions. You decide.

PRESIDENT TRUMP, HIS BUDGET, AND LACK OF SUPPORT BY HIS PARTY. 

THE KUHNS REPORT

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

Wow! Did the Democrats pull a  Roadrunner, Wiley Coyote,  job on president Trump and the Republican party, or what?  This budget deal was a fiasco. It was like watching Wiley Coyote getting hit on the head with the heavy SAFE, or falling off the edge of a cliff, even being blown up with TNT.

The budget results clearly cut short Trumps agenda and failed to actually give him what he wanted and what he promised. For example: No Money to build the  big beautiful wall; no funding cuts to sanctuary cities; no cuts to funding Planned Parenthood nor eighteen (18) billion dollars in cuts to non-defense spending that president Trump requested.PLUS--- there was an increase in the  National Institute of Heath of about two billion dollars despite Trumps budget calling for cuts in the program. And, they continued to fund the Arts, which president Trump wanted to cut.

The Republicans, like always, in the past, gave away the store, folks. Instead of sticking to president Trumps agenda to move forward, once again the  same ol' tired Washington Republican politicians, set in  the old ways of Washington politics caved in to threats from the Democratic party. What a joke!

The Republicans say they were  afraid of a government shutdown and that they would have been blamed. Are you kidding me? Hey, I say shut the place down. If you think back, most every time the government has had a shut down, it runs more efficiently that having those idiots in Washington running things. If Trump would have told the Democrats to go ahead and shut down the government, that would be on them--not the Republicans. But, like always, the Republicans put their hands on their butt and run away.To me, that's disgusting.

A lot of people inside the Washington establishment want  Trump to fail. It's a given that the Democrats refuse to work with Trump on anything whatsoever. They made it clear over and over again that they will not compromise or help the president. They say they "RESIST" Trump's entire agenda and they promote an open "resistance movement" on the hill and throughout the nation.

Trump cannot expect to find any support from the Democrats. They hate him, they hate his presidency, and they are trying to do everything within their power to bring him and his presidency down. They use vitriol , vile and vulgar comments broadcast through the news media shows, seminars, speaking engagements, cable shows, and even late night comedy show hosts disrespect the office of the president. The Democrats lost the election and they can't get over it.

It's sad that one of the two political parties in this country refuse to work for the  people of  the country. The Democrats do not want to do what is good for the nation and our people are suffering. The  Democrats are currently polarizing the work of Congress and make no secret about telling the nation they are a "resistance movement," bent on getting rid of president Trump.  Great example: Congresswoman Maxine Water's is screaming for Trump's impeachment at town halls and meeting whenever anyone will listen to her. What a shame. And,  she's a Congress person. Can you imagine?

But folks, it's not only the Democrats who dislike president Trump. There are many old, set in their way, Republicans, that refuse to push president Trump's agenda. They want to see him falter and fail. That is another sad story in itself. Take for example, the wall on the southern border that Trump ran on and promised. It was reported by a highly regarded news person that while they were they present in a room in Washington with a large number of Republicans, the border wall was being discussed and those fellow Republicans were actually laughing and joking that the wall would not be built and that president Trump was just spinning his wheels if he thought many in the Republican party would allow him to build the wall.  During this meeting they made jokes about president Trump. It's frustrating and disheartening to hear how some Republicans disrespect the president and make him the butt of jokes behind his back, knowing that they have no intention of backing his policies and agenda.

Personally, I think that at least two of those Republicans in Congress should have been gone long ago. They have been pouring cold water on president Trumps agenda since he was put into office.  I can't recall any major things that Senator John McCain and Lindsey Graham have done in Congress  in the past few years that was really meaningful, that made a mark on the country. However, they always find time to oppose the presidents ideas, policies and agenda at most every turn. And it appears both men have no compunction about talking down president Trumps policies both here in the United States and abroad. Personally I think it is sour grapes. Both of these dingbats have run for president and couldn't cut it. The people rejected their lame ideas and didn't put them into the White House.That should tell them something. The people across the country told them they didn't have what it takes to be president--otherwise they would have been in the oval office. So, it's time for these men to quit holding grudges, sniveling, whining, and crying in their beer and step up and back president Trump.

Folks, we need new blood and action in Washington. Fresh faces that will support their party, support their president, and support the presidents policies and agenda. We know the Democrats won't do that. So I say, replace these old worn out Republicans in Congress who believe their only goal is to be reelected for six, seven and eight terms. These old, over the hill, politicians should lose their seats. They are obstructionists  to the party.

I would suggest that the president sit down with the Republicans in his party, one on one, and request that they either support his agenda or feel his wrath when elections roll around.  Better yet, have potential office seekers pledge to the president that they will support his agenda once elected.  That way, going in, the party knows they can count on the votes needed to pass legislation.We do  not need THREE or FOUR different splinter groups within the Republican party fighting among themselves and  not  pushing the Republican agenda as laid out by our president. These Republicans need to  actually "pass" legislation.

People, executive orders can go only so far. The party needs legislation. And to date,  president Trump has been  governing by executive orders, more than most past presidents. And, like the executive orders from the Obama administration  that Trump is doing away with, his executive orders can and will be eliminated by the next Democratic administration.

All of these wrangling, argumentative Republicans in the House and Senate that cannot agree with president Trump's ideas, plans and agenda all ran as Republicans and said they wanted the House, Senate and the White House. They implied that they were a united party that would change things, if given the chance. They would change Washington. Well, News Flash!  They got what they wanted. So now, as Republicans, I suggest all of them support their party, as one voice, and push through president Trump's agenda. These obstructing Republicans have to quit their bickering among themselves.

Many of the  Republicans that are fighting Trump's policies say that they voted against the health care bill and other things because they are worried about their constituents back home, saying that they may not be re-elected.That is a lame excuse. What these milk toast, undecided Republicans should do is tell their constituents that is why they were elected in the first place-- to put president Trumps plans into action. These Republicans defying president Trump at every step are just using being afraid of being re-elected as a cop out. If these lame, feckless, weak, wimpy, Republicans do not want to be a Republican, they should not have ran for office under the banner. Fact is, they should pack up and go home. Who really needs someone in the Republican party who is  mostly going to obstruct, disagree and argue and tear down the presidents agenda?

I would further suggest that  these limp, weak Republicans take a page from the Democrats play book and march in "lock step." Dem's mostly  always do that. In congress they all stick together and speak as one.They have been using that same strategy for years.The Republicans can, and  should, lock arm in arm, like good soldiers, and tell the president "We are all here." What do you want done? AND DO IT. There is no excuse not to when you have the House, Senate and the White House.

As I've mention in the past. I am neither a Republican or a Democrat. I have always been an Independent voter. I hold the idea that I will vote for the people that I believe will do the best for the country. I have never been a person that votes a straight ticket for a specific party. Over the decades I have voted for Democrats and Republicans and have even given money and support to people like Perot and Buchanan during their presidential runs.

This time around I did vote for president Trump. I sincerely believed  this country needed a  new vision, a new course, following eight years of broken promises by out last president and his administration. And, yes, I did vote for Obama when he ran. But now we have a new president, and he should be afforded the respect of the office. That said, his party should be  totally and faithfully behind his agenda.-- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
