TEACHERS AND TEACHERS UNIONS HAVE TO GO, THEY ARE HURTING THE KIDS.

THE KUHNS REPORT

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

I have lost all confidence in our teachers, not only in Nevada, but all  across the  country. Why?

These teachers are nothing but a bunch of malingers and losers. The have stayed out of the classroom for about one entire year, so far.  Every teacher that is interviewed on television always states  "I want to get back in the classroom."  Are you kidding me? That's the BIG, BIG LIE! These teachers do not want to go back on the job. PERIOD! 

Imagine any other job where you can stay home away from the job and draw full salary for not showing up for work. You can't. We, the taxpayers, are paying the teachers salaries and instead of doing their job they go off on vacations in Puerto Rico and lay on the beaches and live it up in resort hotels and send selfies of themselves living it up and posting them on  Facebook , Twitter, etc.

They also mock parents by threatening to "F*** " them up if they ask the teacher to return to the classroom. And people , we are paying the salaries of these clowns. Who needs this garbage put out by these teachers? I submit that if any teacher does not want to show up on the job, and do their job, they should not receive a paycheck. The various states Governors and legislatures should mandate that teachers have to show up in the classroom and teach in order to receive a paycheck. I would bet dollars to donuts, if that were the case, these malingering, lazy, money grabbing teachers would show up on the job.

You can bet that all of these same teachers that refuse to work for a paycheck  are going to the grocery store, the bank, the post office, laundry and cleaners and where the states allow restaurants to have indoor dining- these teachers are showing with their families to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. They are out and about carrying out their daily activities. And folks, if they can, and are doing that, they certainly can show up in the classroom to do the job they are being paid to do.

If there are elderly teachers over 65-years old, give them the COVID shot and let them return to the  classroom and for those teachers who that are afraid to show up to teach, let them leave the teaching profession. But I would guess that the teaching profession is made of of individuals generally under 40-years old, most in their 30's and 40's. It is literally a young persons profession. So chances of them contracting COVID is close to ZERO.

The fake news media says, ''it's not the teachers, it's the unions stopping the teachers from returning to the classroom.''  WRONG,  it's not only the union leaders, but the teachers themselves. I submit that if the teachers really wanted to work for their paycheck they would take to the streets in mass, like they always do every couple of years "striking for more money and benefits." These teachers have no problem organizing and striking in large, large numbers for pay raises and pensions.

If the teachers were serious about returning to the classrooms and wanting to earn their paycheck they would hit the streets in their large numbers and march on the state capitols with their signs and colored T-shirts demanding that the Governor's and legislatures of their state open up the schools and allow them back in  the classroom. If they did protest and have their voices heard in the large numbers like they use on their strikes I have no doubt that these liberal Governors would allow the  teachers to return to the classroom. Everyone knows the majority of the parents want their children back in the classroom however, it is the teachers themselves refusing to return.

The teachers are continuing to feed their families bellies and going about every day business,(they are not missing any meals.) They are  meeting all their financial bills just as they were doing before this pandemic but the small businesses and restaurants, that lost everything and had to close or file for bankruptcy and possibly lose their homes DO NOT have the luxury of being paid a  weekly or monthly salary (FOR NOT WORKING).

In  conclusion, the states Governors and state legislatures should immediately enact legislation stating that if teachers do not teach in the classroom or fail to show up for work in the classroom, they will not draw a paycheck. As a side note: It should also be mandated that these Governors and state legislators themselves cannot draw a weekly paycheck as long as they continue to lock down their states. I suggest that if the restaurants, small businesses, entertainment venues have to struggle without a paycheck coming in, the  same policy should be applied to these liberal lawmakers. --And, that's my opinion. I suggest  you consider the situation and come to your own conclusion. You decide.

FOX NEWS IS GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY.  CANCEL CULTURE SEEMS TO BE TAKING ROOT AT FOX. BAD NEWS, WHO NEEDS THAT. NOT ME.

THE KUHNS REPORT

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

I used to watch FOX NEWS NETWORK religiously but over the past few years I switched to other networks.  I feel that Fox News has let their viewing audience down by running commercials every five minutes and short changing the audience of program content, plus taking on some of the cancel culture and eliminating  hosts like Lou Dobbs, because he had strong views  favoring former President Trump.  In addition, each show host runs the same media clips over and over passing them from one show to the other. Shows like Hannity, Ingraham ,Watters run these media clips over and over again. Their shows are mostly media clips and very short on program substance.

Fox News  guests are lucky if they can get their views and opinions across within one to one-and -a-half minutes before the  long, long FIVE minutes of commercials pop up. Come on, having FIVE minutes of alleged programming and the FIVE minutes of commercials is over the top. And in addition to the pre-programmed media clips, long drawn out dissertations and sermons leading into a question for the guests are common place. with these hosts. They ramble and go on and on before they finally ask a question of the guest. (Like these hosts don't get enough face time during their show already.)

As to these show hosts really getting  relevant information out, as far as I'm concerned it's just a big bust. It's a dog and pony show. It's what I call "flash and dash" news.  I feel that if guests are invited to offer their opinions on an issue, these hosts should JUST ask the question without the long lead in of their of pablum babble, get out of the way, and allow the guest(s) to give their side of the issue WITHOUT being interrupted by the host. 

The Fox News hosts  gripe, complain, snivel, and whine about things happening in  this country but continue to fail to nail down the guest as to any solutions to the problems facing America. The hosts are always complaining (i.e. " they are brainwashing our kids in school," "the schools and colleges teach and promote leftist and socialist agenda's," or, "these riots  occurring in our cities  have got to stop," and it's a SCARY situation, etc.

The Fox hosts have these congress people right there in front of them but never ask these lawmakers directly what they themselves are doing to correct the situation(s). (i.e), Senator, what steps are you yourself taking to stop the indoctrination of  our young children in the school? Or, what specifically are you yourself doing congressman (name) to stop this socialist teaching in our schools? Are you presenting any bills or are you writing legislation to rid our schools of this indoctrination. ( Note: Or any other subject/issue under discussion.) 

The Fox hosts have the unique opportunity to receive specific replies to direct questions from these politicians but instead they have a kumbaya dance allowing the politician/lawmaker to parrot what the host is saying. Most lawmakers appear on the shows and say things as, "it's scary," Note: (I would like a nickel for every time in the past few months that these hosts and lawmaker guests use the words, "It's scary) Or, "we've got to put a stop to this." Or, how many times does the guests say, "Americans understand what's happening," or the "American people understand". Folks, of course we, the American people understand. What we Americans want to know is how these congress people are solving the situations in this country. However, these Fox so-called hosts refuse or will not insist  on a specific rely as to how the congress person themselves who are being interviewed are taking steps to correct the problem they are  griping and whining about. The hosts refuse to hold these politicians feet to the fire. Hell, everyone in the country knows it's a "scary" situation (i.e.- riots in our cities, attacks on our law enforcement, Antifa, BLM, the indoctrination happening in our schools, teachers unions, etc.) 

We the people who are viewing the network want direct, specific answers from our lawmakers. We want to know exactly what steps these congress people who appear on the show are taking to solve the problem, a solution. We don' need to hear these hosts complaining and sniveling, saying things have got to change and then giving the congress person guest a chance to whine and complain also, without telling us viewers how they themselves are  taking specific steps to solve those problems, matters being discussed. 

As I stated in prior blog posts these Fox hosts spout the line they speak for themselves and are not told what to say but I recall seeing Bret Bair and his co-host shut down a guest for talking about possible fraud in the 2020 election. So, apparently there is some subjects and issues that are taboo for discussion on Fox News Network.

I also said, in my opinion the only informative show on Fox News is the Tucker Carlson Show. Hannity, Ingraham, Watters and others with their repeated  media clips  and constant interruption of their guests is a big, big turn off. That is why I switch to OANN (One America News.) I believe and suspect that Fox News is losing viewer audience and will continue to do so unless these hosts stop the constant media clip -o-rama's and start interviewing their guests with the purpose of demanding specific answer and solutions. 

Folks, any five year old can sit in front of an audience and moan, groan, gripe, complain and snivel about some issue but never offer any solutions or actually hold these congress men and women to the task of telling us what they themselves are doing to resolve the specific issue/matter being discussed. 

These TV hosts have the congress people right there, in front of them, but they are failing to do their job of pinning these lawmakers and politicians down for relevant answers. Instead, the TV hosts allow these lawmakers to  fill  their speaking time with talking points while not saying what they are doing to solve the problem.- And, that's my opinion. I suggest you consider the situation and come to your own conclusions. You decide.
