TAKE CONGRESS PEOPLE' S HEALTH PLAN AWAY-- AN EXECUTIVE ORDER CAN DO THAT.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
One way to solve this health care bill crisis is very simple. PUT ALL OF CONGRESS on the same health plan we little people out here in the country are required to use. It is very easy to do. Trump hinted at the possibility, if this DO NOTHING Congress continues to fight, bicker, and refuse to serve the country. The Republicans fight among themselves about what is good enough for us Americans, while they are covered from head to toe by a super excellent health care plan. It shouldn't be that way.
And, what is laughable, after senator McCain, who was the sole cause of the Republican health plan crashing, and burning, the budget chief had an idea. When White House budget chief, Mulvaney, tried to steer and push senators to keep voting on health care until the Republicans succeed, senator Cornyn-(R-TX), had the gall to say, Mulvaney has a "BIG JOB: to do, he ought to do his job and LET US DO OUR JOB." Are you kidding me? Senator Cornyn and his(can't make a decision) party, DID NOT DO THEIR JOB. The fighting factions within their own party refuse to do the job. What a joke.
Folks, what president Trump has to do is wake his party up.He has to make them stand tall, and wear BIG BOY pants, and vote in unity to advance his agenda. The Republican party has to pass president Trump's promises that he ran on. These Republican senators have got to realize that if it were not for president Trump, many of them would not be sitting in the Senate.
So, my strong suggestion to president Trump and the White House is:
Execute an EXECUTIVE ORDER which states that all members that are employed in ALL THREE branches of government has to have, and adhere to the same health coverage each and every one of us throughout Americas has to depend on. That would immediately put all of those Congress people in the same boat with us hard working Americans.
People, why should these elite, snobbish, out of touch lawmakers, who believe they are entitled, come to expect to have excellent health coverage for themselves, and family, while hard working people like the waitresses, plumbers, truck drivers, construction workers, and all other professions , both professional and vocational struggle and suffer to survive a medical catastrophe.
And, for all of you that are unaware, the health plan these lawmakers carved out for themselves to enjoy is SUBSIDIZED by you, and me, the taxpayer. People, that part of their health care that is subsidized by us is a WHOPPING SEVENTY-TWO PERCENT. I ask you, how would you like 72% of your health care picked up by someone else's money? That would be a great deal, wouldn't it? Well the congress and feds got it, on our dime. That is one BIG, BIG, reason they don't really care about your heath care, or my health care. THEY GOT THEIRS.
I suggest that our founding fathers did not set up out government to work this way. Congress was not set up to exempt themselves from the same laws and mandates that we, the people, of this nation has to follow. Yet, that is exactly what our lawmakers in Washington have been doing for decades. They set in motion -- laws, rules and regulations that if, any everyday citizen would violate, that person would be in prison. Yet, the Washington establishment members give themselves a pass, and immunity from the same rules, laws, and regulations.
And, believe it or not, most of the Washington lawmakers are millionaires and/or billionaires. They could really afford to pay for their own health care plan without hurting them in the pocket book or WITHOUT us subsidizing their plan to the tune of 72%. Folks,we Americans out here in the heartland and across this great nation are NOT millionaires but we have to struggle to pay for our health care, AND pay for theirs too. What is wrong with this picture, people?
I ask that Congress be put into the same health plan that all the rest of the country is required to use. What's good for the goose, folks, is good for the gander. Everyone from Congress people, down to the homeless person walking the streets, should be subject to the same health care plan.
I would wonder how senator John McCain would like to have his brain surgery treated by the same medical health plan that we, average Jane and John Doe, have to depend on. The same goes for senators like Murkowski, and Collins, if the fell ill.
I would like to see the American people mass together, speak in ONE voice, and file a petition with president Trump to issue an executive order removing the health care plan from Congress and lawmakers in Washington, and have them use the same health care plan we, the people, are using. If it takes marching in the streets, town halls, news media attention, LETS DO IT. Millions of people protesting peacefully, can get things changed, if we focus on one issue. We CAN do this, if we speak in unison.
I say, Congress has to have, and use our health plan or -- we are given the same health plan that Congress now has. Fair is fair. -- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

SENATOR McCAIN, AND A FEW OTHERS NEED TO BE DUMPED FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. THEY ARE ANCHORS AROUND THE PARTY'S NECK.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Well, the attempt to repeal Obama's "Affordable Care Act", failed again. Again, Republicans in name only, (RINOI's), Senators Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and John McCain from Arizona, torpedoed the debate to repeal Obamacare. But it was McCain's vote that was the sole deciding factor.
It was McCain's (thumb down) vote that prevented the measure from going to conference for discussion where things could have been added or deleted from the "Skinny Bill."
I've always said McCain has been a thorn in the side of the Republican party for years and years. I've also said he should have been gone from congress years ago.
This obstructionist senator always wants his fifteen minutes of fame in front of the cameras and news feeds. He has a large dislike for Trump and it shows with his past and current statements to the press and media people.
McCain does not look out or care for his constituents in Arizona. This millionaire senator only cares about himself. Let me give you an example how he turned his back on the citizens of Arizona.
He made a big deal of coming in and voting to debate the health care bill last week. Fact is: He cast a vote to debate the bill. His was a deciding vote to debate. Then, a couple days ago, when the senators were voting to repeal Obamacare and allow the bill to go to conference for further debate, McCain's vote scuttled the bill, and it crashed and burned.
My question to this wanna-be "get my face on the news"person is this: Senator McCain, Why did you make a big deal of coming in and voting to debate the: Skinny Bill", but then you voted against it going to conference for additions and changes?
McCain could have voted to pass the "Skinny Bill", let it go to conference and after all the changes were made to the bill, IF HE DIDN'T like them, he could vote against the bill., But McCain never gave the bill a chance to be heard or to see what changes the senators could come up.
Instead he was seen huddling with Senators , Collins, and Murkowski, and also playing up to Senator Schumer, on the day of the vote. It's clear that McCain is a closet Democrat, and has been for decades.
In Arizona, his home state,Obamacare premiums are going up this year, about 140 percent. Some of the highest in the nation. How can he abandon the Arizona people like that? How can he put that large burden on Arizonians? Is it because he has he own cushy health plan, just like all the lawmakers in Washington are privy too? His super great health plan is paid for by us taxpayers, and his fellow Arizona residents.
I suggest that president Trump issue another executive order: That being, removing all of the senators off of their current elaborate,exceptionally good, health plan, and mandate that the lawmakers in Washington will have to use the same health plan all the rest of us Americans have to use. If president Trump does that, I would bet dollars to donuts that McCain, Collins, Murkowski and all of the other congress people would quickly agree to vote for the Republican health care bill. How would they like to endure the high deductibles, the high costs of medications, the long wait times to see a doctor, etc.--? You know they wouldn't like the plan for THEMSELVES.
I have been screaming and yelling from the rooftops, to anyone that would listen that we, the American people, should have the EXACT,SAME, health plan that our congress people have access to. My position is: Why should a group of elitists in the federal government have better health care that the people they represent? The correct answer is: They should not.
But, I remember when Obama was running for president, he promised Americans that --(paraphrased) "If you elect me, you will have the same health plan that people in congress has. Did he LIE! You bet -- big time. We should have access to the same health plan of our Washington representatives. OR, they should be on the same plan we have. It's that simple folks. Every one of us in America in the same swimming pool. What is good enough for them in congress is good enough of us, or vice-versa.
So, president Trump ---PLEASE, PLEASE issue the executive order to put all of these lawmakers in Washington on our same health plan. That said, you can bet that we Americans would have a health plan passed before you could say, "I'm a senator, I'm better than you peons."
And, believe it or not, the bill that senator McCain put "thumb down" on would have given people in Arizona relief. Their premiums would have been lowed substantially, instead of rising 140 percent this year. SHAME on McCain. Why the Arizona citizens re-elected this weak, spineless, wanna-be Democrat, is beyond me? As I said before -- the Arizona people should dump this guy, like a hot potato.
And what is McCain's reason for voting not to conference and adjust the health care bill? He says he wanted some DEMOCRATS to be included in the vote? Is he nuts? The Democrats agreed early on, after president Trump was elected, to RESIST any and all Trump and Republican policies and agenda. And, they did just that They vote in a block to stop the Republican's efforts to move forward. They would never agree, in any shape or form to repeal Obamacare.The Democrats said that over and over again --yet, McCain uses that as a excuse why he deep-sixed the bill.
If I were the Republican's I would target senators McCain, Collins and Murkowski to be dumped from the party in upcoming elections. It's clear they want to be Democrats. The Republicans in these senators states should wake up and see how really detrimental they are to the Republican party. Kick them out of office. Vote them down next time around.
On the other hand--look at all of the good Republicans that voted for the bill, to go forward. There were about 47 good, strong, stable, Republicans, that wanted the party to succeed and move on pushing the Republican agenda. KUDO's to those senators. It's sad that the health care debate was brought down by only ONE vote, by ONE Republican, who in reality is a Democrat, who has a very large dislike for president Trump. --And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

DO NOT LET NORTH KOREA HOLD THE WORLD HOSTAGE. TAKE THE COUNTRY OUT.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
North Korea is accelerating and stepping up its mission to build a nuclear ICBM missile . Many in the defense and Intelligence communities estimate that North Korea could have an ICBM within 12 to 18 months. That is no time at all folks. And some experts at the pentagon and in the military believe the North Korean missile would be capable of striking Alaska, the West Coast of the United States, and cities as far east as Chicago, possibly Boston . And Hawaii and Japan is in the target zones of North Korean missiles also.
Our whimpy, do nothing congress people, have been kicking this can down the road for years. They say we have a long time before we have to worry about any attack on our homeland or allies. Just last year some of the talking heads that pretend to be experts went on television and said it would be at least five years before North Korea would have the capability to launch an ICBM against the USA. But just a few weeks ago, North Korea had a successful ICBM test and as recently as July 28, 2017, they had another successful launch. The experts were wrong.
We have politicians sitting in Washington sucking on their thumb without constructing a definitive plan to deal with North Korea. All they seem to want to do is place sanctions on this rogue country. Sanctions don't work with North Korea. They haven't worked for decades. And, now our mixed-up, scatter-brained lawmakers are depending on China to step in and tell North Korea to halt it's nuclear ambitions.
Folks, China's help is not going to happen. China has not helped the United States curtail North Korea in the past 50 years and they will not do it now. They supply North Korea with ninety percent of all of their needs. China has propped up North Korea since the Korean War, back in the 1950's.
Our lawmakers who think China is our friend and are waiting for them to help us are delusional and wearing rose colored glasses. Wishful thinking on their part. China is wanting to be the super power of the world.Their military buildup is moving at record pace. China is building military installation on man made islands in disputed China sea locations.
It looks as though our lawmakers weak, timid response to North Korea is a "wait and see" approach. What is frightening is that our Congress is "fiddling while Rome burns." They will still be fiddling when are cities are set ablaze. These feckless, spineless, lawmakers are sitting around scratching their head waiting for North Korea to send a nuclear missile to our shores before they act.
Congress is bent on bumbling and flailing around, UNTIL the missile actually explodes here. Then, these same politicians will point fingers and play the blame game. They will make the usual excuses of what they should have done. That's nuts! Once the ICBM missile hits Hawaii, Alaska, or in the heart of the USA and kills tens of thousands of Americans it will be too late. This passive "wait and see " policy should not be an option.
True, if North Korea does strike America with a missile. I have no doubt that we will immediately annihilate North Korea and leave only dust and rubble where the country used to be. And, South Korea will be one of the first casualties in the war. Missiles will rein down on South Korea from North Korea and will kill millions - no doubt about it. But that is the only reason we have not taken substantial action against this mad man Kim Jong Un, in the past. However, we cannot be held hostage by this crazy lunatic knowing he has that threat of attacking South Korea, at anytime.
My suggestion:
First, sit down with China and tell, them point blank, that we expect them to cut off all support to North Korea. No more food, equipment, coal, etc.-- no support to prop up North Korea at all. If China refuses, we should cut off all business with any financial institutions, and corporations. that we are currently doing business with. regarding China. Congress should also place heavy, heavy sanctions on China, both financially and trade wise.
Second, tell the Chinese that we will set up nuke programs to allow Japan and other allies in the region to go ahead with nuclear defense.
Third, advise the Chinese that after all of that , if they do not comply, we, the United States, and our allies,will take action. And, if need be, we will act alone to take down Kim Jong Un.
And, finally put a definite time line on China to produce. I would tell China they have SIX MONTHS to carry out their part, or all of the above will take effect.
We clearly cannot trust and depend on China to help reign in North Korea by talk alone. We have already went down that road. China continues to say they will help but, but instead, they only use cursory, band aid solutions. Meanwhile, North Korea becomes more embolden. I have no doubt China, if they really wanted to help us, and the world, could initiate a regime change in North Korea. However, for reasons only known to them, they choose to continue to prop up North Korea.
We should not wait until an ICBM strikes the United States, killing tens of thousands, if not millions of Americans. Send leader Un, a message through political channels. Let North Korea know, in no uncertain terms:
1. That we will begin taking out their nuclear test missiles, if they continue testing.
2, Iell North Korea, if they fire even one missile into South Korea, or the United States, or any of our allies, we, the United States will wipe North Korea off the map, -- we will invade their country, with boots on the ground, and KILL leader, Kim Jong Un.
We , the USA cannot be held hostage by North Korea any longer. We should bite the bullet. Take out each test missile North Korea sends up. If Un, goes off the deep end and decides to retaliate, he will know he will face the wrath of the United States military might.
Folks, I have no doubt that we, the USA, could take out the entire country of North Korea and kill Kim Jong Un, within 90 days. One massive, sustained attack would do it.
One more thought: If we do confront North Korea with military force we should fight to win. Don't be mushy, passive, or squeamish. We do not need another "lets be nice" attitude when going to war, like the most recent wars we have been fighting the last few decades.We should not worry about civilians or collateral damage. Wipe the entire North Korea region clean, taking down every building and structure in the country, until there is nothing left standing.. For those goody-two-shoes that say: Save the civilians. What? All I can say is "War is Hell." If a rogue country chooses to fight the United States, we should take everybody in the country out. Do you think that this looney-tune , crazy man would think twice about the civilian population in the United States? Once he launches his missile, he and his military WANT to kill as many civilians as possible.
Playing to win is the only way to fight a war, once it is started. For example, we did the right thing when we bombed Japan and ended the war. Certainly there were a lot of casualties after the Atomic bomb was unleashed, but there were also a lot of survivors. And look at Japan today - -a thriving country. The same would be a likely outcome for North Korean survivors. They could probably unite with South Korea and/or there could be ONE KOREA, once we eradicate the North Korean military and power structure from the face of the earth. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

LAWMAKERS LIE, BIG TIME. IT'S TIME FOR TERM LIMITS IN CONGRESS.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Both the Democrats and Republican congress members LIE. They lie to the voters face when running for office, just to get elected, then they DO NOT do what they said they promised to do.
Take the Republicans, -- back in 2015, when they had control of the House and Senate, they voted to pass an identical measure which they voted on yesterday. Back then Obama didn't sign it and the Republicans knew he would not sign it. But now when these incompetent Republicans have control of the House, Senate and the White House, and president Trump said he would sign the bill, a number of these same senators that promised to pass the measure rejected it. It was the SAME exact measure that they voted to pass two years ago. It appears that a number of senators does not like president Trump and will do anything, and everything, they can, to obstruct his policy and agenda.
The Republicans that voted not to repeal Obama care are: Senators- Susan Collins, Shelly Moore Capito, Dean Heller, Lisa Murkowski, John McCain, Rob Portman, and Lamar Alexander. Remember those names folks, and next election I would suggest you vote them out of office. They promised to repeal Obamacare if we put them in office. However, once in office, they chose to lie to us.
These liars said they would vote to repeal Obamacare, but after being elected, refused to pass the repeal measure, perpetrating a fraud against us voters, who trusted them when they said they would vote to repeal. I know that if these big-mouth liars would have told me the truth and said they were not going to vote to repeal, I would not have voted for them. And I feel there are a lot of Independent, and Republican voters out there that feel the same way I do.
If these lawmakers, (Democrats and Republicans), were a CEO, or a person who headed up a large or small business, in any city in the country and then misrepresented and lied to the consume about the product they were selling, they would be fined and jailed.
Folks, people voted for these lawmakers based on their representations to us --their promises. But once they got what they wanted (elected to office) , they didn't deliver the product which they promised us.
These politicians that lie to us voters with promises and representations of what they will do, and then fail to carry out their promises make me think that it's time for TERM LIMITS. I suggest each lawmaker only serve TWO TERMS, No more. When they know they are on the clock to deliver, maybe they will tell the voters the truth when running for election. And people, putting term limits on these liars , will let us voters. have a shot to keep them honest. Plus, term limits will also prevent a lot of the corruption, closed door deals, lobbying, and favoritism. that currently engulf the swampy cesspool, called Washington.-- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

THE REPUBLICANS ARE A BUNCH OF BUMBLING CLOWNS.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Today, the Congress is supposed to vote on the Health Care bill. I sincerely hope that these lackluster Republicans can get their act together and unify to pass a bill. The Republicans made promises for over seven years that they had a plan in place to repeal and replace Obamacare. But that proved to be utterly false. These Republicans promised to bring about change and conservative reform if we, the people, gave them the opportunity. Well, we did.
But instead of unifying and acting in concert as one party, their promises turned out to be empty due to their intraparty divisions. They have so many opposing groups in their own party they scramble around in a helpless manner. They cannot make decisions and act as one group. That's wrong! The Republicans are a dysfunctional posse that gridlocks themselves.
I suggest that anytime a party is given such a great opportunity -- control of the House, the Senate, AND, the White House, they had better perform. They will be evaluated on their performance and their actions. The inability to accomplish and produce is a big, big black-eye for the Republicans. They set themselves up as the only party that is prepared and efficient enough to run the federal government- but instead, are shooting themselves in the foot because of their constant bickering and disagreements between the different factions in their own ranks. They look like a bunch of amateur "keystone cops."
For example, some of president Trump's, promises and agenda that were made, AND not filled are:
*Planned Parenthood: It still has it's funding. But if you recall, the funding was supposed to be taken away.
* Iran Deal: Trump recently re-certified the Iran agreement, which was a big, big thing during his campaign. Remember, he said: It's the worst deal ever. But the Washington establishment, and some of the people around him decided it was better not to negotiate on the Iran deal. What a shame.
* The Wall: Where is it? No wall along the Southern border yet. Many Republicans DO NOT want the wall so, like the Democrats, delay, obstruct, and resist.
* Infrastructure: I don't see Chicago or inner cities being rehabilitated. Our roads, bridges, electric grids are still in disrepair.
Folks, Republicans are throwing up roadblocks to deny president Trump his agenda. He not only has the media, the Democrats, Intelligence agencies in the DEEP STATE obstructing his policy and agenda, but Republicans in his own party are fighting him tooth and nail. Many of these Republicans are the old, elite lawmakers that have been in Washington for decades. They DO NOT want Trump to succeed. Some of these politicians look down their nose at Trump, thinking they are better than him. They want to keep everything as it was before he got elected. They want Trump gone. If I were him, I would show a number of those people advising him the door. They pretend they are with him, but in reality they stab him in the back every chance they get. They have their own agendas.
I am going to be watching with interest today to see if some of these weak, feckless, spineless, Republicans can come together and vote in unison so that Congress can debate the health care matter. And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

SENATOR McCAIN SHOULD RETIRE-LEAVE THE SENATE.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Senator McCain (R-AZ), should resign from office. Remember, McCain has been on the job for SIX terms. When is enough, enough.
Now that Senator McCain has been diagnosed with malignant brain cancer he should consider stepping down for the good of the county and for the state of Arizona.
It is surely a given that McCain is a national hero. He served his country honorably, ABOVE and BEYOND, from his military days up and through present day. He is a true patriot. My prayers go out to him and his family.That said, whether a person is a national hero, or a ditch digger, when they are confronted with a diagnosis like "glioblastoma", a very, very aggressive type of brain cancer, that person immediately directs their attention to their health, their chances of surviving, and their mortality. The last thing on a person's mind would be what work is waiting on his desk at the office.
McCain is suffering the same type and form of cancer that the late Senator Ted Kennedy, (D-Mass) was afflicted with.
Clearly, it is up to McCain, his doctors, and family to decide whether or not he will return to work in Washington. But folks, the senator is 80-years-old. He is about to fight one of the greatest fights in his life. Chances are he will have to go through an aggressive and difficult treatment plan to battle this disease. It won't be easy.
I suggest it would be very difficult for senator McCain to put his mind, and keep his mind on any work in Congress,and perform at any quality level he used to have. It's human nature folks -- when one falls ill, is sick-- their mind automatically goes to thinking about how they are going to get well, and if they will get well.
Many a person suffering an illness will usually say:"I'll go to the office and do my work". But in reality throughout the day that person's mind is racing a mile a minute, concerned about their health. They consider and think about such things as all of their doctors appointments; their treatment plans; office visits; scheduling for tests; family reaction and concerns to their illness; their future etc., --
Basically, the person's health issue takes over. Their illness, the disease, is their priority of thought.
And, that's the way it should be. But, their work will suffer.
Remember, this devastating disease that senator McCain is fighting takes a heavy toll on the body. And since the disease is related to the brain ,it stands to reason there may be some cognitive problems which may or may not affect his actions and decisions. Is that good for the state of Arizona? The country?
Would senator McCain consider stepping down? Would he allow his Republican colleagues to use him ,and drag him back into Congress just to show up for votes? Only he knows.
If I were diagnosed with the same disease that senator McCain is fighting, I would like to think first and foremost, I would consider the quality of my life and my future. Things like: spending quality time with family and children; traveling, vacations; enjoying time with friends and acquaintances, etc.--
I would also consider who could take over my job position. I would face the fact that with such a disease, I could not perform my job to full capacity, no matter what colleagues, friends and acquaintances tell me. Fact is, if I were a senator, like McCain, I would consider the good of the country and party. I would ask myself: "Could I, as an ailing senator, perform my duties in a competent manner. Can I keep my mind on my work? If I had the slightest doubt, I would make arrangements to retire, go off in the sunset graciously, enjoying life with family and friends to the fullest.
Folks, there have been instances in the past, where these lawmakers in congress brought in ailing, ill, decrepit, senators on a gurney, --- just to cast a vote. Rather that replace their ailing , sick colleague(s), the congress is predisposed to use and abuse the possible incapacitated person. That's sad. And such acts are not good for the country and America. -- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

MINNEAPOLIS SHOULD HIRE A CHIEF OF POLICE FROM OUTSIDE THE DEPARTMENT.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Last weekend an unarmed 40-year-old Australian woman was shot dead by a Minneapolis police officer. People from all over the country became angered over the incident. Mayor Betsy Hodges asked for police Chief Janee Harteau's resignation. And the chief did resign.
Mayor Hodge's appointed Medaria Arradondo, a 28 year veteran of the police force. I believe that was a bad, bad choice.
Hell, the guy started out as a school resource officer and patrolman with the police department. He worked his way up to assistant chief. 28 years with the department is one big reason Arradondo SHOULD NOT be Police Chief. He has worked in that same embattled police department all that time and apparently agreed to how the department was being run. His is part and parcel of the dysfunctional culture of the department. In all likelihood, in those 28 years he more than likely set some of the policy that allowed police officers to do the bad things they did.
Remember, this particular police department was accused of using excessive force on numerous occasions in the past. My suggestion: The mayor should look outside of the department to change the culture that already exists in the police department . A new face, new blood, someone that has not been using the same old techniques and policy for these many years, as Arradondo has been doing.
I also think mayor Hodge's decided to play the race card in selecting Arradondo, because he is African-American. I suspect mayor Hodge's has the idea that by putting an African-American in as Chief of Police, that act, would result in better relations between the police and the city of Minneapolis black community. I have my doubts about that.
From many reports coming out of the news media , there have been many protesters calling on mayor Hodge's to resign also. I think that would be a step in the right direction, don't you? Clean house. Start over with a clean slate.
And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

TEENAGERS WATCH MAN DROWN. VIDEO TAPE IT WHILE TAUNTING THE MAN.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
FIVE immoral teenagers in Florida stood by and watched a thirty-one year old man drown in a large pond. The police chief and police officers who handled the case said they were appalled at the situation.
These teens, ranging in age from 14 years-old to 16-years old saw the man drowning. He screamed for help on a number of occasions. However, these callous teens stood by and video recorded the man drowning and put the video on the Internet. While the man was drowning, the teens taunted him and told him he was going to die. They joked and laughed about the man's dire situation. The remarks, taunt's and jokes were all caught on video.
After the man's body was recovered and the teenagers were identified , they were questioned by police and from all reports there was no remorse shown by these teens, about what they did.
The young teens could have called 911, for help. But they did not. What? It only takes a few seconds to dial for help. Buy they chose not to call.
These teens had the opportunity to be HERO's ---just by calling 911. The police said the man's life could have been saved. But, they chose to let the man die for a video grab. Instead of being the heroes they could have been, the teens acted like a pack of blood thirsty hyena's. That's a sad state of affairs. And, what excuse did these low life's have for doing nothing to help the man? They said they were smoking marijuana.
According to law enforcement authorities in Florida, there is no law that compels someone to come to the aid of another person. But Florida residents were so angered by the conduct of these teenagers, law enforcement is now considering filing misdemeanor charges against the group, which is, "Failure to report a death."
And now, there are those that are going to push for a law in Florida that will make people accountable. Many Florida residents feel that when a person requires aid and assistance, bystanders should take some sort of action.
My question is: What did the parents of these teens do to allow their children to have such a careless disregard for life? Possible lack of supervision? Where is their parenting skills? And, can you imagine what these teenagers are going to be like as they grow older, and move toward adulthood? It's frightening, folks. -- And, that's my opinion.Make your own decisions. You decide.

TAKE FRAUD, CORRUPTION AND POLITICS OUT OF HEALTH CARE. HERE'S MY PLAN.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is he world treating you?
The Republicans heath care bill failed again. Mainly because the different faction in the Republican party pander and play up, kiss butt, and do favors for their donors in their state . They care less about taking care of the people's needs, only theirs. It's strange and frustrating to see these same Republican senators, who back in 2015, voted to repeal Obamacare. The only difference now is that these same people that went on record and said they vote to repeal Obamacare, now put money first. These senators are bending over backwards to please their donors and lobbyists and those "yes" votes to repeal, are now all "no.." votes. Go figure!
Folks, these politician lie to our faces. Remember when Obama was running for president. In both elections he said, (paraphrased-: All of you people in the country will have the SAME, EXACT health care plan that all of congress and I have.) We don't have anything closed to that. These senators and lawmakers in congress, and the president, have some of the best health coverage available, known to man. But after they got elected, these Washington elites failed to carry through with their promises. They still have their super, great, insurance plan for themselves and their federal employees, but we, the people, can whistle in the wind.
Washington lawmakers put politics first when it comes to health care. They look out for themselves but ignore us. In Obama's health plan, all he did was to give the states many new entitlements by dumping most everyone requiring insurance in Medicare and Medicaid. Now that the people and states are receiving these juicy entitlements, no one wants to give them up. Like always ,once you give someone an entitlement, you can't take it back. The person is hooked on it, like a drug addict.
Maybe we should go to a "single pay" system. Fact is, we, the average American, out here in the bread basket, in the heartland of the country should enjoy the same plan and system Congress enjoys right now. Lets look at it this way. Lets go by the number game. If all the people in the country were on the same plan, costs would be down -- dramatically. Low cost coverage for everyone.
My plan mandates that every lawmaker in Washington, all social security recipients, . each and every child, each and every man and woman in the country, and every veteran. ALL BELONG TO ONE PLAN, ONE central database to track every individuals care. Folks, master databases work, and work well. Currently there are at least 51 million, plus, people in the social security database. And they have been receiving their checks on time for decades. The veterans and military databases know where every soldier is at any given time --that database works well. And what about the welfare database? Wow! There's over 47 million people currently on food stamps on food stamps, and the government makes sure that database keep track of all those that expect their share.
Point is:---One major database with each and everyone of us in it with our medical histories available to the doctors, hospitals, etc., would keep politicians out of the mix. These lawmakers would be in, and subject to, the same plan and treatment as the rest of us Americans.
My plan would make it mandatory that every doctor in the nation has to ACCEPT the plan. That would clearly let the patient select the doctor of their own choosing. No more having to search networks.
The individual would pay for the plan at the rate of one payment a month. The plan would do away with all caps on treatment, costs of care and prescriptions, plus there would be no exclusions for a persons treatment. Included and covered in the plan would be alternative medicine choices.. Things like acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy. meditation, yoga, etc., would be covered. And any type of surgeries that were needed would be covered. Basically folks, everything is covered. And, if you feel as I do, you would not mind paying a little higher premium for this health care.
Trump talks about WINNING. Wow! With this plan I outline and suggest, "everybody" wins. BECAUSE -- EVERYONE IS IN IT.
With my plan, a patient would not have to wait for insurance company approvals. If the doctor says a procedure or surgery has to be done ---it's done. Insurance companies may not like the plan, but that';s tough, they have to live with it. Basically,what would happen is: the government replaces the insurance companies part in health care.
Most of all, one important factor would be, the government has to make sure, and be certain that doctors, and health care providers do not ABUSE the plan. There are ways to put safeguards in place and to have checks and balances to monitor such things as medication prescribing; review of doctors and health care provider records, etc.
Folks, other countries have various forms of health care. For example: Switzerland, has a totally private system. It resembles Obamacare, on steroids. Everyone in the country is mandated to buy health insurance. No one is exempt. It's just like every one in the country has to pay their taxes. Switzerland's plan has no limits on preexisting conditions. The Swiss government actually regulate the insurers.
Then there are countries like Germany and Holland. They have a mixed bag. But the one thing all of these foreign countries do have in common is that EVERYONE, I repeat, --EVERYONE, in the country is covered and the government regulates and monitors the system. When EVERYONE in the country is covered (under the same plan). That makes the insurance pool very large, and has the proper, correct mix of both old and young people in the plan. If that were not the case, -- the old people would overwhelm and crash the system.
People, UNLESS we here in America, put together a plan that caters to each and everyone (in one government pool)-- (Hey!! EVERYBODY INTO THE POOL! ), our emergency rooms and hospitals will be overwhelmed. We will continue to have high hospital charge; and have doctors that pick and choose their patients; and have continued corruption and fraud. We have to stop this nonsense.
Folks, no one in America, while being treated in a hospital should have to say to themselves, "How the devil am I going to pay for this? " Or, worry about being forced into bankruptcy because of medical bills, devastating entire families..
I predict that when the incompetent congress (who refuse to work together), and the Republican senators who can't or won't agree on ANY substantial issues has cobbled some atrocious health plan together , there will be a large backlash against them, and the American public will rally together and demand a "single-payer" system.
Question? Why are we, the United States, the only civilized country in the world that does not have a health care system that takes care of their people without putting families into bankruptcy? What is good for the rest of the world should clearly be good for the U.S. citizens. - And, that is my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

CANADIANS- KICK TRUDEAU OUT OF OFFICE. HE SURELY CANNOT THINK STRAIGHT.
THE KUHNS REPORT
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just took it on himself to okay a 10.5 million dollar payment to a terrorist who killed one American soldier and blinded a second Trudeau, decided to act on his own to have the Canadian taxpayers cough up millions of dollars, without consultation with the lawmakers, courts, or the Canadian people. His rationale is: The terrorist killer, Omar Khadr, who was a Canadian citizen, was treated badly while being held at GITMO.
What? Khadr was a TERRORIST, a KILLER. He was captured and confessed.
Terrorist Khadr, fighting in Afghanistan against Americans threw a grenade killing the U. S. soldier and blinding the other. He was captured, sent to GITMO, where he confessed to the crime. He was eventually released from GITMO and returned to Canada.
Trudeau said Canadian citizens should not be mistreated. Hey, in reality, the guy was not mistreated. He occasionally had to stay awake long hours and was treated no differently than any other prisoner at GITMO.
When he returned to Canada, killer Khadr, sniveled and cried the blues, saying that he didn't have anyone to talk to while being held in detention. And, guess what? Trudeau fell for the terrorists sob story. This young, inexperienced politician let his personal feeling rule and told the Canadian people, and the world that he was paying this combatant killer the 10.5 million. Can you imagine. He gave his middle finger to the Canadian people and the whole world. Paying a TERRORIST millions , a killer, who had already admitted to murder. And to compound the miscarriage of justice, Tfudeau ignored the plight and grief of the dead U.S. soldiers widow, and the blinded soldier, and their families. That's obscene.
From all reports, Trudeau didn't even call the widow, or the blinded soldier and tell them what he was about to do. His callous disregard for the victims and their families is outrageous.
At this time the Canadian citizens are said to be split/divided on this blood money payment to a terrorist.
The conniving and sleazy way Trudeau pulled this caper off tells me a lot about his character, integrity and honesty. I wouldn't trust this inexperienced politician to babysit my dog, let alone, run a country. His credibility and decision making is ZERO.
I would think that any terrorist, fighting on the battlefield who kills soldiers, and who is captured and locked away deserves not one penny of compensation (in any way) . I would wonder what he would have done if the soldiers killed and blinded were Canadian military forces? Or, if they were friends and relatives of his family.
It appears this is the kind of politician and lawmaker Canadian citizens get when they go with a person that is young and inexperienced, instead of seriously considering a candidate with experience, knowledge, character, honesty., and integrity. Some people say the only experience Trudeau had prior to becoming Prime Minister was that of being a drama instructor. Which begs the question--how does that experience qualify him to be Prime Minister of Canada?
If the Canadians are smart, when this "they hurt the terrorist feeling"imbecile , Prime Minister, comes up for reelection they will dump him like hot potato for putting them on the hook for 10.5 million dollars, and for his stupid move of letting his personal feeling interfere with what should have been solid, well thought out judgement on the issue. Clearly, his stupid, dumb actions are no way to run a country.-- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

THROW THE BUMS OUT, IF THEY CAN'T WORK TOGETHER.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
On July 17, 2017, two Republican senators refused to back the Republican health care bill. Senators Mike Lee, from Utah, and Jerry Moran, from Kansas. They colluded and conspired between themselves to deep six and torpedo the health care bill. Neither of the two men had the guts to be the third "no" vote to join Senators Collins and Paul. So, they connived, and decided to come out together, rather than face the pressure of the single person to oppose the plan.
Now, July 18, 2017, an additional two Senators, Murkowski, from Alaska, and Moore, from West Virginia, jumped ship also. Senator Collins from Maine also joined these two senators today, to say she would not back the bill also, but she has previously stated that.
Now, the health care bill is in shambles. Once senators Lee and Moran said they would vote "no", other senators made the decision to scuttle the bill.
It appears these two, weak, spineless senators, Lee and Moran, who chose to do damage to the presidency and the administration, brought out the colors of the other weak-kneed, do nothing senators who appear to want to de-ligitimatize president Trump.
These Republican lawmakers told us citizens SEVEN YEARS ago that they actually had a plan in place to repeal and replace Obamacare . It was up and ready to go, according to them. They said, just put us in office and we will pass our plan.Guess what? We did. We voters gave the Republicans the House, the Senate, and the White House, BUT because of the constant infighting among the different factions in the party, we are where we are today.
The Republicans have the "freedom" Caucus, the "Tuesday Caucus", and a few others funky groups. On top of that, there are the conservatives, the moderates,and who knows who else. These Republicans CANNOT stick together, they CANNOT agree on any one issue in mass or unity.
This health care bill was to be one of the first bills to solidify the Republicans and the present administration, AND, they failed miserably.
Since the Republicans lied to us for seven years and couldn't, can't, or won't carry the water to the finish line, I'm for voting them out of office next time around.
At least the Democrats seem to STICK TOGETHER. They may may obstruct, but they do it TOGETHER. The Republicans should have taken a page from the Democrats playbook. The Republicans should realize that doing things together, in unison, "as a team", miracles can be accomplished. But it is obvious that the Republican Party is not a team player.
Since they have the House, Senate and White House they could have stuck together, in lock step, "for the good of the party", and passed bill after bill. But many of these senators are ego driven, looking to promote their own agenda, to hold grudges, to be agitators, and get their fifteen minutes if fame on television and in the media spotlight. They blew off SIX MONTHS since taking office.
I say, enough, is enough of these whimpy, scared, afraid to stick together clowns. They are like a bunch of keystone cops, who by the way, have always caved in to the Democratic party, on most every issue. When one Republican bails on an issue, the rest fall like a bunch of domino's.They scurry away like a bunch of insects. Clearly, togetherness is not their bag.
Personally, if the Republicans do not get their act together and at least pass health care, or tax reform, within the next couple months, I will not vote for any Republican again. They had their chance and they lied to us. However, they can redeem themselves by passing the promised bills they ran on. I think these rag, tag, Republicans have had their bite at the apple and they couldn't deliver, as promised.
You can bet that I, and others, will remember the names of these Republicans that chose to derail the health care bill, and the Republican party. We, the people, need and appreciate Republicans that pledge and promise, while they are running for office, to stick together and vote in unison, once they are elected. They should also disband these funky, crazy caucus groups within the party. If they run as a Republican, and get elected, then they should support the party's policies and agenda. That is why the voters put them into office-- to support and pass the presidents policies.
As a side note, my friends, acquaintances, associates and relatives feel the way I do. And they have friends, relatives and associates, and they all vote. And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

SENATORS HELLER, PAUL, COLLINS AND McCAIN SHOULD NOT BE "SPOILERS."
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS-Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
There are a number of Republican Senators that are RINO's (Republican In Name Only). One that stands out is Dean Heller, Republican from Nevada.He is one man the party really don't need. He runs as a Republican, wants to serve as a Republican, but in realty is a closet Democrat. Another RINO senator that stands out like a sore thumb is, Susan Collins, from Maine. What a drag on the Republican party she is. She mostly opposes any policy which is proposed by the Republican administration. She is always obstructing.
Why Republican voters put these wanna-be Republicans in office is a mystery to me. You would think the voters would want the elected person to back and support the party, its policies and agenda. But these RINO's choose to support the Democratic agenda a majority of the time.
Look at Senator John McCain, from Arizona. He likes people to call him a "Maverick." I don't think he's a maverick. I believe he is an "obstructionist", plain and simple, nothing more. He should have been dumped long, long, ago. He also falls into the RINO camp along with Lindsey Graham, from South Carolina. McCain and Graham seem to take issue with president Trumps policies and agenda at every turn. These two men have no qualm about going on television, both here and abroad and take cheap shots at the president and the administration. Yet they run under the guise of being a Republican. Jokes on us, folks.
It appears these two senators are still two very bitter men, who ran for president, couldn't cut it, and lost their chance to be president of the United States. Now they are doing every thing possible to throw a wrench in the works, bringing down the Republican party.
Another Republican senator I am truly disappointed in is, Rand Paul,from Kentucky. It looks as though senator Paul lacks the ability to compromise, just like senator Susan Collins. And believe it or not senator Paul was a strong contender as my choice for president. I thought he had some very good ideas. I also liked his fathers ideas, before him. They both seemed to want to get our country back on track. But, now, with Paul's obstruction and adamant stance against unifying the Republican party, he has lost a lot of his credibility, at least with me.
You would think members of the Republican party would want to advance their agenda and keep the party in power by passing legislation and bills that the voters put them in office to do. But, these RINO's and obstructionists would rather destroy the party than to come together and compromise.
Folks, I look at it this way. If it takes FIFTY votes to pass the health care bill, or any other bill, and FORTY-EIGHT other Republicans are on board, senators like Rand Paul and Susan Collins should look at the BIG, BIG picture and THINK, (If FORTY-EIGHT other Republicans are ready to vote and support the Republican agenda, maybe all of those senators are right and I am wrong, I should go with the majority of my colleagues and support the bill.)
People, when there are only one or two hold outs to determine if a bill is going to pass, those hold outs, like senators, (Paul, Collins, Heller, McCain, etc.,) should defer to the their colleagues and vote with the majority to pass the bill(s).
I submit that all of the Republican senators had more than sufficient time to know what's in the health care bill. They had meeting among themselves, separate caucus time, and the president even had all of the Republicans to the White House to discuss the health care bill.

It's on them. And you can bet, if any one, or all of these holdouts, cause the health care bill to crash and burn , in 2018 and 2020, Democrats will rule the House, Senate and the White House, and their rule will last decades. -- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS-Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
There are a number of Republican Senators that are RINO's (Republican In Name Only). One that stands out is Dean Heller, Republican from Nevada.He is one man the party really don't need. He runs as a Republican, wants to serve as a Republican, but in realty is a closet Democrat. Another RINO senator that stands out like a sore thumb is, Susan Collins, from Maine. What a drag on the Republican party she is. She mostly opposes any policy which is proposed by the Republican administration. She is always obstructing.
Why Republican voters put these wanna-be Republicans in office is a mystery to me. You would think the voters would want the elected person to back and support the party, its policies and agenda. But these RINO's choose to support the Democratic agenda a majority of the time.
Look at Senator John McCain, from Arizona. He likes people to call him a "Maverick." I don't think he's a maverick. I believe he is an "obstructionist", plain and simple, nothing more. He should have been dumped long, long, ago. He also falls into the RINO camp along with Lindsey Graham, from South Carolina. McCain and Graham seem to take issue with president Trumps policies and agenda at every turn. These two men have no qualm about going on television, both here and abroad and take cheap shots at the president and the administration. Yet they run under the guise of being a Republican. Jokes on us, folks.
It appears these two senators are still two very bitter men, who ran for president, couldn't cut it, and lost their chance to be president of the United States. Now they are doing every thing possible to throw a wrench in the works, bringing down the Republican party.
Another Republican senator I am truly disappointed in is, Rand Paul,from Kentucky. It looks as though senator Paul lacks the ability to compromise, just like senator Susan Collins. And believe it or not senator Paul was a strong contender as my choice for president. I thought he had some very good ideas. I also liked his fathers ideas, before him. They both seemed to want to get our country back on track. But, now, with Paul's obstruction and adamant stance against unifying the Republican party, he has lost a lot of his credibility, at least with me.
You would think members of the Republican party would want to advance their agenda and keep the party in power by passing legislation and bills that the voters put them in office to do. But, these RINO's and obstructionists would rather destroy the party than to come together and compromise.
Folks, I look at it this way. If it takes FIFTY votes to pass the health care bill, or any other bill, and FORTY-EIGHT other Republicans are on board, senators like Rand Paul and Susan Collins should look at the BIG, BIG picture and THINK, (If FORTY-EIGHT other Republicans are ready to vote and support the Republican agenda, maybe all of those senators are right and I am wrong, I should go with the majority of my colleagues and support the bill.)
People, when there are only one or two hold outs to determine if a bill is going to pass, those hold outs, like senators, (Paul, Collins, Heller, McCain, etc.,) should defer to the their colleagues and vote with the majority to pass the bill(s).
I submit that all of the Republican senators had more than sufficient time to know what's in the health care bill. They had meeting among themselves, separate caucus time, and the president even had all of the Republicans to the White House to discuss the health care bill. So, I suggest, after all of that, if a majority of the senators are on board and ready to support the REPUBLICAN agenda., the one or two RINO's, the obstructionists, the SPOILERS,should fall in line and STICK TOGETHER and pass the bill. What ever happened to: "For the good of the party?"

YES, FOLKS - VOTER FRAUD EXISTS.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
The Heritage Foundation has solid proof that there is election fraud in 47 states. That's bad. It is a big problem for the entire country. Yet, we have these groups of people, with an agenda, always denying voter fraud. As they oppose any attempt to investigate and regulate voter fraud, these groups want to stop any kind of voter ID laws, and are against actually cleaning up any inaccurate
information on the voter rolls in all of the states . Fact is, these people that refuse to acknowledge that there is voter fraud make it easier to corrupt lawmakers, makes it easy for someone to steal votes, and yes, rig the vote, rig the election.
Politicians want to garner votes and elections bring power to the politicians. If there is a way to cheat, you can bet some sleazy politician will find a way to do that, rather that lose in a fair and honest election.
It's about time someone like Vice-President Mike Pence decided to set up an election integrity commission. I believe we need to find out such things as: how many people are voting that shouldn't be voting; how may people on the death rolls of the country are still registered to vote; and, are the people voting actual citizens of the United States, etc.---
Right now, in some states, it is more difficult to get a drivers license, to prove who you are than it is to vote.
For example, by 2020, if you want to fly anywhere, you will have to present a real ID or a passport to prove who you are. Here in Nevada, to obtain a "Real ID" driver's license, the feds said I had to show a valid passport, or an "original" birth certificate. Not a copy. I took both in to the DMV. I also was required to show an "original" social security card--(no copy allowed.) Also, two utility bills to prove my residence address, and I also had to show my lease on my apartment. I wanted to show that I was a veteran on my drivers license so I also had to provide my DD-214, (not my military ID card), or my (Veterans Administration ID card,) They said only my DD-214 would do.
When I asked to be registered to vote at the DMV. I was told all I needed wad a valid drivers license but there was no difference between a person who was a "legal alien" and a "citizen of the U.S.) Apparently there is no procedures set up to stop an "illegal alien" from registering to vote because all a person has to do is check a box saying they were a citizen. WOW! I guess the watch word is:Trust people not to lie. Or, take the person at their word that they are a citizen. So much for voter fraud in Nevada. Just lie! And you can vote.
I have always maintained that we drastically need positive proof of citizenship in order to cast a vote in any election. Basically, why can't it be the same type of proof that I had to present to get a "Real ID" driver's license?
It was recently reported that there were more than 7,500 fraudulent votes cast in West Virginia. Folks, we need to have a way to cross reference a persons driver's license with the voting rolls. And if the person doesn't drive, cross reference their state ID card. Since there are now numerous states giving driver's licenses to "illegal aliens", it behooves us to make certain EVERYONE is a citizen of the United States before casting any vote. If we do not take such action a U.S. citizens legal vote will be cancelled out by those individuals who intentionally lie and just check a box that says they are a citizen.
The Heritage Foundations database, and acts of voter fraud such as that in West Virginia clearly show that voter fraud exists. And its spread across the country. You can bet that voter fraud will remain until we clean up the voting system, once and for all. --And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

REPUBLICAN PARTY IS ON THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
There are a number of Republicans in Washington that are actually trying to sabotage the Republican agenda. Here in Nevada, senator Dean Heller continues to object to the health care bill, under pressure from the Democrats full press negative ad campaign. All he is worried about is getting re-elected. Fact is, he already raised millions of dollars for his re-election. Then, we have Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, and others who continually bad mouth the Republican agenda, and President Trump. They refuse to be Republicans by finding fault with most everything Trump is trying to accomplish. The only reason I believe McCain and Graham got re-elected was because of their wealth. They should have been dumped long, long, ago.
I suggest that if these so-called Republicans along with the Republican senators from Maine and Alaska, and Missouri can't support the Republican agenda, they should be booted out of Washington.
Most of the constituents across the country know who these obstructionists are and if these "fight among ourselves" lawmakers DO NOT fully support the policies of the administration, they will pay a price in future elections.
If all of the Republicans now in office would stick together (for once), and push bills through congress, there would be change in Washington. The Democrats stick together. What is the matter with these weak knee, spineless Republicans, that have both houses, and the White House?There is no reason they could not stick together and push their agenda which they promised they would do.
It appears all that the lawmakers care about is holding their seats in Washington, and their re-elections.
I say the Republicans now have their chance to do big things, If they speak in one voice and stop caving in to every Democrat request, they could accomplish great things . They asked to be the majority party and we, the people, gave them their chance.
I predict that if these groups of idiot Republicans who choose to obstruct, who choose to fight among themselves, fail to come together, for the party, fail to pass bills, and do what they said they would do, will lose "big time" in upcoming elections, especially the next presidential election.
It's sad when you think that for seven years these same lawmakers said if they got control of Washington they would deliver on a Republican health care bill, which they said was ready to go. Now, we find out they didn't have a health plan in place at all. They lied folks!
All of these Republicans should sit down together, at one time, and agree to push through bills "together", without bickering and fighting. Action is louder than words.
A word to these Republican lawmakers --people want action. Act in one voice, in unison, and prove to the people of this country that you can all unite and pass legislation and bills.. If not, a pox on all of your houses. --And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
