SEVENTY-ONE (71%) OF YOUNG PEOPLE UNFIT TO SERVE IN MILITARY

THE KUHNS REPORT

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


Many of our young men and women are UNFIT to serve in our military services. Can you imagine that? Wow! When I was a young man every young man in the  country had to register for the draft. We had no choice. At the age  of 18 years we had to go down to the Selective Service Commission and register. If not, we would be breaking the law.It was the law of the land. Then each young person was put on list and eventually called up for military service when our number came up. All young people had tow choices. Either wait and get drafted into the Army or join another branch of the military services, Navy, Air Force, or Marines. I decided to join the Marine Corps, rather than wait to get drafted into the Army.

But now it is all voluntary to enlist and serve in the military. But recent reports and statistics assembled by  all of the military services and the government said: Seventy-One (71%) percent  of young people between the ages of 17 and 24 years old are UNFIT to serve in the military. Why? Get this-- the report stated that the biggest causes for rejection is: Obesity, No High School graduation, and drugs.

Each branch of the military is struggling each year to find qualified applicants. That only leaves a 29% pool of young people to draw from. That's incredible.  Many of the young people of  today just sit around on their butts. They clearly appear not to want engage in physical exercise or  buckle down to  achieve academically. You  can see  many of today's youth just sitting in front of a video game, or a television screen or addicted to social media sitting using their cell phone. And drug use by these young people runs rampant through society.

It seems the young people are currently living in an " I want" generation. They WANT this and they WANT that handed to them and believe they are entitled to all the nice and easy things in life and expect the be taken care of by their  parents.

What ever happened to grade schools and high schools that used to require students to take part in and pass physical education courses? That practice fell by the wayside. The young men and women today between 17 and 24  years old live a sedentary life. That's a shame.

Our country should go back to the  DRAFT. Require every U.S. citizen who turns 18 years old to register and service in the military service. They should have to serve in one of our military service branches for at least two (2) years or serve in organizations like the Peace Corps for at least two (2) years. That again will make men and women out of these young people. They will have opportunity to travel, further their education, have a choice of many job opportunities while serving and they will learn about life such as budget their finances, pay their bills and numerous social skills that will carry them through their adult life.

If the government brought back the draft and mandatory military service it would take these  obese, high school dropouts off the couch, away from their video games, television sets, loitering around the corner, or the mall or laying around using drugs and change their lazy attitude, and "you owe me", lifestyle. It would benefit both the young people and the country.

A a side note: there are many other countries around the world that does require of their your men and women to service in their military service. We in America  should return to that concept. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decision. You decide.

THE POST OFFICE HAS TO BE PRIVATIZED. WHO NEEDS A MONOPOLY?

THE KUHNS REPORT


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

The United States Post Office has had a monopoly to deliver mail for decades. How can ANY business that  has no competition and is a monopoly lose money consistently, decade after decade? Here's how folks, it's we, the taxpayer, paying  for over the top retirements, pensions , health care and other benefits of the  postal workers and are obligated to pay BILLIONS more just to keep their retirement/pension fund afloat. Right now the postal service has an unfunded  pension liability of over, GET THIS, - $100 BILLION DOLLARS. And most of that is for employee wages, health care, pensions, and retirements. The Post Office has been squandering money from us taxpayers on employee benefits year after year, decade after decade.

It should be noted that our Constitution actually authorizes the creation of the Post Office, however, no where in the Constitution does it say or does it require the federal government to keep dumping billions of taxpayer dollars and subsidize this White Elephant of a loser. We taxpayers shouldn't have to. The Postal Service has been a money pit for decades. These postal workers are constantly demanding more and more money and benefits from us taxpayers each and every year.

I've preached for years that the federal government should not have allowed the Federal Employees to unionize. We taxpayers are on the the hook to pay  the workers over-the-top annual salary increases, great health benefits and very lucrative pension and retirement plans. The Post Office provides great benefits for their employees that average John or Jane Doe working in the private sector will never, ever hope to see in their lifetime. Fact is, I believe that no federal worker should be allowed to unionize. They should have to adhere to the same retirement policies  and packages that the people in the private sector has to depend on such as a 401k, and pay increases should be based on job performance and merit. NOT guaranteed  annual cost of living increases of 3% to 6%.  However, the politicians and lawmakers belong to those same club and unions and enjoy substantial cost of living increases, health care, pension and retirement benefits themselves. So the chance of de-unionizing  Federal Workers is not even on the radar.

The Post Office has lost money year after year after year for decades and a recent White House report stated that the Post Office "had no clear path to profitability." Fact is, the Post Office has lost  approximately $69 BILLION DOLLARS  since only 2007.

The alternative delivery services like Fed Ex and UPS are thriving, profitable companies. And the big surprise is that the failing Postal Service, by federal law is given a monopoly and exclusive  rights to the Post Office to deliver all the letters sent in the United States. Fact, it's a federal crime for Fed Ex, UPS to deliver mail to your mailbox. UPS and Fex Ex ONLY deliver parcels, NOT ANY LETTERS. Believe it or not the the Post Office only started delivering packages/parcels after UPS did. And, the idiotic Post Office is still billions of dollars in the hole. WOW!  How does ANY monopoly lose money? But the federal employees don''t care because they still receive their lucrative health care, pensions and retirements that continue to go up each year, on our dime. And keep in mind many of us average citizens do not have a retirement/pension plan, yet we pay for their comfortable retirement.

The lawmakers and politicians in Congress and Washington fail to realize that COMPETITION rewards the companies who offer the best service. Result, they make profits like Fex Ex and UPS.
Competition also results in  lower costs to the consumer public. Basic economic 101 for these lawmakers who wear blinders--if you take away the profit motive from  ANY business, what are you left with?  You guessed it- the governments Post Office, folks.  The Postal Service is a loser and has been a loser for decades--ever since they allowed the workers to form a union and bleed the taxpayer dry by always demanding increases in salary and lucrative benefits. Have you ever see the post office lower the cost of a stamp or mailing charges? I doubt it. THEY ARE a MONOPOLY. We taxpayers are at their mercy. We have NO CHOICE to mail letters.

I suggest that we, the taxpayers demand that Congress act (both Democrats and Republicans on both sides of the aisle), and insist that we privatize the Post Office and have efficient alternative delivery services like Fed Ex and UPS deliver our mail. We have to STOP being on the hook for paying for theses outrageous pensions and retirements of all of these Federal Workers. Hell, at least Fed Ex and UPS has their own privater plans to take care of their employees. THIS POST OFFICE monopoly has to go. Period! - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decision. You decide.

CHINA IS THE BIGGEST THREAT AMERICA HAS. THEY ARE  NOT OUR FRIEND.


THE KUHNS REPORT

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

When is the administration and Congress going to WAKE UP up to reality and know that China is not our friend. Fact is, they are the biggest threat to America than any other country on the  planet.

They have been  ripping off the United States, military secrets, intellectual properties and economy for decades. But the lawmakers in Washington continue to let them get away with it because of the almighty dollar and the never ending greed by the politicians who pad their bank accounts. turning a blind eye to China's misdeeds.

First, it would be worth mention that we send foreign aid to China. Why are we doing that? They have trillions of dollars of their own to support their countries needs. Hell, we continue to borrow tens of millions of dollars from China to spend here in America. If China ever called in their bonds on the U.S., they would automatically bankrupt America in one fell swoop. We owe them millions in interest on our debt to them each day. So why should we also be sending foreign aid to China, OUR ENEMY. A side note:  We also send foreign aid to many other countries that are NOT our friend. We send aid to Afghanistan, Venezuela,  Iran, Russia and Pakistan.That, to me, is unacceptable. I think that all of these countries that ARE NOT our friends and many who want to destroy America,who kill American servicemen and women and civilians should have all of their foreign aid cut off immediately.

And guess what? Hundreds of lobbyists in Washington, who previously were elected politicians continue to lobby and represent China, promoting that country. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb move. It's greed, pure and simple. If these politicians and lawmakers and connected lobbyist firms are paid big bucks by China. The skies the limit for them and their personal gain.

Even some  active Congress people representing us in Washington have their hand out making millions of dollars from China. It's no secret that Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell and his wife, also in government service, have numerous ties with China and they are avid advocates for China, so their millions keep rolling in.  Then there is Joe Biden, who is currently running for president of the United States. He and his family have benefited over the years with his China connects, collecting millions of dollars. A lot of China money was made when Biden was Vice-President, under Barack Obama.  Side note: Also there  needs to be an investigation into the Biden families self-enrichment deals made with Ukraine and Russia that were ongoing while he was serving as Vice-President. Millions of dollars were collected by the Biden family. It stinks to high heaven.

It's people like these politicians that are turning a blind eye to China's acts of infiltration, theft, and corruption perpetrated on America.

People, China laid out a plan to take effect between  2013-2018, and beyond. It's called the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). China invests $614 BILLION dollars  in foreign infrastructure, in 60 countries, which accounts for 60% of the world's population, and 30% of the global domestic product.

It should be noted that China has a whopping population 1.4 BILLION and they are on the move politically,  (our politicians and business interests in their pocket) (some mentioned above).  China has a massive military expansion around the globe (China also has influence and foothold in Africa, Asia, Middle East and Eastern Europe). They are also attempting to establish a foothold in Central America. Another large China threat is that just recently China and Russia teamed up together to move into the Artic region and make a strategic preserve solely for  their the two countries. I say if  China and Russia were allowed to do this it would clearly destabilize the entire North country and our Western hemisphere. China moves into these  nations and builds military bases, invests in infrastructure and pays off corrupt politicians in those countries. and like here in the USA, they advise the  leaders and business interests of those countries that they  will have to share their technology, research, minerals and wealth with China in return for their investment in that country.

Make no mistake people, as China establishes their footprint in each of these countries their main objective solely is to encroach on the United States and once they have their military bases and areas built in each nation  they will have the capability to put forward an attack plan against the United States.

Currently China is well ahead of the United States in technology, 5K phone and connection  apparatus, electronics, artificial intelligence and numerous other areas of innovation. How do you think they got most of that technology? It's no secret. They stole it from us through intellectual theft. The Chinese communist doctrine is, and always has been, that all Chinese people the Chinese government allows to travel and send abroad shall act  as and active agent of the Chinese government. The communist government mandates that every student they send to America to  attend one of our colleges and universities is to covertly steal academic, defense, technology secrets and innovative ideas and inventions. The Chinese government commands any Chinese citizen  who is working in the United States at defense firms, research centers, aerospace and military installations and military projects, academic institutions, technology companies, and other areas to covertly steal our secrets and projects and take it back to China.

And what does the lawmakers in Washington do? They wear blinders and fiddle while Rome burns. Our politicians close their eyes to this bad conduct by China. I said it a thousand times and I will say it again. CHINA IS NOT OUR FRIEND. They have had a communist long range plan for decades to usurp and steal America's work products, employ and embed Chinese spies within the infrastructure of America and use those same United States innovation, discoveries, and secrets that American ingenuity brought forth against us.

We have firms like Google and Facebook and other giant tech companies, who employee Chinese who covertly take the secrets from these firms and take it back to China and yet the companies continue to employ the people and will not wake up to that fact or refuse to admit that their company secrets are being stolen and exploited.

These same tech giants are so blinded by money and future profits from China, they give in to China's demands and share their tech information, ideas and innovations and closely work with the Chinese government using the excuse that is the cost of doing business in China.But it should be noted that these same tech titans  refuse to work with the government of the United States on important military and defense projects to better United States interests. All that these American tech giants can see is (1.4 BILLION Chinese people) as possible consumers. They sell themselves out for the opportunity of making trillions of dollars from the Chinese consumer.That's disgusting! I say, AMERICA FIRST.

I predict that in the not to distant future we will  be on a war footing with China., I suspect they will attack the United States and drag in partners as Russia, Iran, North Korea to fight against us.

China has increased their their war machine by leaps and bounds spending TRILLIONS of dollars building up their military readiness. The have a massive military (larger than ours here in America). They are increasing their warship inventories, submarine fleets, air power , and have been doing so for decades. And should I remind the reader of the move they made in  the South China Sea. The usurped a number of islands and converted them in a way to act as military bases.


Could  you imagine 1.4 BILLION Chinese troops invading over our  southern border at one time? Talk about an invasion. Wow! If China also makes an alliance with Russia, Iran, and North Korea assets to do battle, the U.S. would really be up  against a strong force. The U.S. has approximately 1.3 million active duty troops. And  about 865,000 in reserve. We also have about 200,000 active duty troops deployed in more than 170 countries around the globe.

Currently we have Chinese spies  who have infiltrated into the United States college, universities,  research centers,defense facilities, aerospace facilities, Silicon Valley technology firms, and many other areas of our critical infrastructure  and these spies have one objective--steal American secrets.

If I were the Congress people of the United States I would open my eyes and WAKE UP and stop pandering to the Chinese government. But I guess the payoff and bribes to do China's bidding is to great.

I would suggest the government start cutting back the cap on the number of Chinese students that are allowed to attend our academic institutions, the number of Chinese allowed to be employed in America's  research centers, hospitals, learning institutions, aerospace and defense firms, as a good first step, and those who are employed here should be accounted for by periodic background checks while they are in the USA., which should include a check on how many times they are  making returning trips back and forth to China and it should include a system and or database monitoring and keeping tabs on any and all Chinese employees working or involved in the areas previously mentioned.There should be very strict enforcement of Chinese visa overstays in the U.S, and the one's that did overstay their visa should be immediately deported and not allowed back into America. There should be  limits on the number of building, businesses, conglomerates, industries, and large parcels of lands, properties and investments the Chinese are allowed to purchase in America. And when the Chinese does purchase they should be required to have a United States citizen as a first and major owner of the purchase. In other words, the Chinese CANNOT own such things as properties, businesses, factories, etc., outright.

Listen up politicians, lawmakers, and members of our current administration, there is a point of NO RETURN and America has been sleeping at the switch for years allowing China to evolve as it has. The only reason for that is money and greed. But now it's time to wake up. I have no doubt that China plans and WILL engage in a war with the United States. They have been entrenched in America in all walks of our life for decades but they are getting into a war readiness footing and if, by now, our people who say they run this country cannot see the writing on the wall. IT WILL BE TOO LATE, especially if China teams up with and collaborate with other nations that bear ill will to America. I predict China is on the brink to act and engage. The U.S. has to call China for what it is, an enemy. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decision. You  decide.
