WAKE UP LAWMAKER'S- LEGALIZE MARIJUANA
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Legalize Drugs: I think there is a good argument to legalize drugs, especially ,Marijuana. Let me start out by saying many, many lawmakers and the administration had said: "We are losing the war on drugs." And, my view is - - -" we are."
Folks, over 70 percent of all illegal drugs coming into the U.S.A. is marijuana. If only that drug, marijuana, was legalized tomorrow it would bring a screeching halt to the gangs on the streets of our country fighting for sale and distribution of marijuana. Second, it would stop many deaths, some,( was our brave customs agents) on our Southern border..The Mexican narco-gangs are so brazen they actually cross our borders and shoot it out with out agents as they attempt to bring tons and tons of marijuana into the United States in one shipment. If marijuana were legalized in this country the incentive for the crooks would be gone. A legal product is a "no-go" for the gangs and criminals-NO PROFITS.
If marijuana were legalized and taxed like cigarettes, alcohol, and other products it would bring billions of dollars into state and Federal coffers. It would prevent kids being recruited into the sale of the drug. You don't see kids standing on the corner selling cigarettes and booze. Why? Because it is legal.
When something is illegal, that is when you will find both adults and children selling it. One word, "PROHIBITION". When booze was illegal, there were hundreds of killings a year, all over the country.
We had Mafia and organized crime. When alcohol was banned, the criminal gangs run rampant, slaughtering people in the streets. However, when it became legal, the murder rate dropped to nearly zero for those involved in the illegal alcohol rackets.
Other countries have legalized all type's of drugs, not just marijuana, and it did not throw the nation into ruin. In fact Portugal recently decriminalized every drug, including- - opium, cocaine, crack and other drugs. Guess what? The number of addicts and drug abusers declined. Me, I am just advocating decriminalizing MARIJUANA in the USA.
Another plus in legalizing marijuana would the billions of dollars saved by incarcerating millions of people each year. And, the big, big plus would be the billions this country would save on paying law enforcement agents and their agencies for fighting a losing battle with marijuana use. The law enforcement agencies could then give their time and attention to the hard drugs that are ravaging this country.
There are times I think our administration and lawmakers in this country do not want to get a handle on the drug war. It appears they want to keep thousands of law-enforcement people on the job, spending billions of dollars on salaries, specialized equipment, conferences, meetings, etc., for their own reasons while admitting that we have lost the drug war. I submit, that is insane and stupid. The administration, politicians and lawmakers continue to pump all those dollars that are needed elsewhere into a lost war and expect different results.
If these idiot lawmakers would realize that if they would legalize just "one drug", Marijuana, it would make a big dent in the so-called drug war and at the same time bring in billions of dollars in tax revenue.
Come On! 70% of all illegal drugs being brought into this country is marijuana and our lawmakers close their eyes to the fact that they can benefit by controlling the sale and distribution. How dumb is that?
And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

Ralph Lauren Olympic Uniform- UPDATE
DO THE RIGHT THING LAUREN
USA Uniforms Can Be Made in 2-Weeks
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
I received word from a few sources regarding the Olympic uniform fiasco. Ralph Lauren states that he will make all future Olympic uniforms in the USA starting in 2014. Mr. Ralph Lauren, for me, that is not good enough. Folks, Lauren could trash all of the uniforms he had "Made in China" and immediately replace them with "Made in the USA" label if he wanted too. Why doesn't he do that? Could it be GREED? Possibly.
According to a few source of mine and ABC News network a complete batch of "Made in the USA" Olympic uniforms could be made in "TWO WEEKS." Mind you, that is not word from one American company but the same time frame was quoted by at least 20 companies. So, my message and suggestion to Lauren and his shabby company would be. Throw out the Chinese uniforms and have the "MADE IN AMERICA" uniforms done in the two week time span.. That is the only thing that will gain back some of Ralph Laurens credibility in my eyes.-And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

The U.S. Had 620,000 Fatalities in Our Civil War.
Let Syria Fight Their Own Civil War. We Did.
SYRIA IS NOT OUR FIGHT
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS:
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Why is the United States stirring up the Middle East by sticking our nose into Syria's internal problems? We should not be poking around in their business. Folks, Syria is not America's problem. It is not our war. Using U.S. military power and arming insurgents for anti-regime forces "inside Syria's borders is unwarranted.
The U.S. has had relations with the Assad regime for about 40 years.. First we dealt with Bashar's Assad's father and then Basher himself. For those many decades things went well. Now, we are war mongering in the region to impose a democratic society on people that have their own culture and morals, thinking "WE" the USA knows best, telling people how to live.
The uprising in Syria should be left alone and let the people of Syria handle their difference on their own. Our lawmakers say a civil war in Syria is evident. I say, SO WHAT. Let the Syrians fight it out among themselves and then we deal with the regime left standing. I think the Syrians are smart enough to fight their own battles in their own country.
CIVIL WAR. People dying. What does the U.S. lawmakers expect when there is a civil war? People are going to die. Both civilian and military people. If the Syrian people want to rise up and fight for their freedoms let them do it without outside help. Freedom fought with their own hands is freedom earned and appreciated.
People, if you want to talk about "civil war." you need not look any further than us Americans. We had our own hard fought civil war. Our country was divided - -the North versus the South. What about our fatalities in our own civil war. To refresh some of our lazy Congress people's memory. We Americans lost 620,000 good men in the American Civil War. Our civil war was one of the most deadliest in American history. And yes, in addition to those 620,000 deaths don't forget that many civilians lost their lives also.We Americans fought our "Civil War" on our own without troops from other countries settling our differences. The war was fought, North Versus South . The North won and our nation came together, on our own , to prosper and unite. I say, Let Syria fight their on war. Let them sort out their own government on their own.
Our news media shows a 30 second shot of a wounded child or 100 people are killed in one action.and we express outrage.. What the devil does Obama and our Congress expect when a civil war is being fought? That is the fog of war. But it is Syria's war. Syria has a long way to go to have 620,000 fatalities like we Americans lost in our civil war.
Finally, we should stop being the worlds police force. And we should stop trying to force our values on other countries. The only thing we are doing by sticking our nose in other countries strife is taking billions of dollars from us taxpayers and throwing it down a never ending hole. Christ, Obama is spending $4 billion dollars a day to fight a war in Afghanistan, one of the most corrupt countries on the planet. It has been ongoing for over 10 years. And, don't forget Iraq. We are still spending billions there each and every day. Also, don't forget the covert actions and undeclared wars we are supporting in Pakistan and Iran. We have military drones , cyber agents and covert military groups involved in those countries.
It seems our lawmakers always want to have a war going on so as to take the attention off of all of our domestic problems we are experiencing here at home. All of the billions of tax dollars Obama and our Government lawmakers (both Democrats and Republican) are spending could be used right here in America, making the country whole again. We have poverty and hunger going on here in the good Ol' USA. We need infrastructure repairs. Our cities are falling apart. Those billions going out every day to these other nations could and "should" be spent here in America . My view is, America first. Then, and only then, if we have some monies left over we can be charitable. The trouble with our Congress and all lawmakers is that if they find or come into an extra $100. dollars, they spend $150.00. That is no way to run a country. I would say "Charity begins at home. " -And, that is my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

Food Prices Up Because of Drought?
Get Water to the Drought Stricken Areas
From Flooded States.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
The news media just yesterday said the country is in a severe drought and because of lack of water crops like corn is dying. The media went on to say price for food is going to go up at leas three-percent. Christ, food prices have been rising for the past year. If the crops in the Midwest need water then I say, "Get water to the crops." How? Easy. Transport the water from the states that have it to the water starved bread basket of the country. It can't be done you say? Wrong. It can. Currently all over the world we cart water in water trucks to areas in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries on a daily basis.
Here are some suggestions for out lazy politicians sitting on their butts in Washington. Transport water. At any given time in this country there is a city or state experiencing a flood. Those waters can be used for irrigation in times of drought. The water from the floods in a city or state can be caught and stored in large tanks, above or below the ground. It serves a two fold purpose. First, the water being reclaimed and put into the storage tanks will give relief to the flooded city or state and Second, that water can be transported to the states like Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, etc., that need the water for their crops. Folks, it is a no-brainer. The water being stored from a flood ravaged area in one state can be stored in tanks or better yet, why not have a pipe line system transport water from state to state when required. The idea of- - we have a drought so the farmers are going to raise food prices is unacceptable. The problem with that is when the food prices are raised, they stay up and never, ever, come back down. The farmers and yes, the government, hate to reduce the food prices once they got their raise. The food prices always go up but they never come back down once the freeze, drought, or whatever is over. It's not unlike the government saying "we're going to impose a temporary tax." "It's just temporary." But once the tax is there, "IT IS NEVER TEMPORARY." It is there for ever. Never reversed.
It would be cheaper in the long run to lay pipe lines between states to transfer needed water to irrigate and feed the drought infested areas or even cheaper to build large water tank storage areas above and below ground for use in emergency drought times. People, it would not take that much to have water shifted from flood ravaged areas to areas that need it. If the crops have the water needed to have them produce there would be no reason to constantly use the excuse " we have to raise food prices." It seems our country does not plan ahead for emergencies or disasters. Instead, the government always acts "after the fact." and then squeals that someone should have seen the problem coming. The result, the politicians pass the buck and say they will form a committees to investigate the problem. What a joke.
If our government can transport convoy's of tanker trucks full of water to people in other countries, why not here? We have the technology and skills. And if the water transport pipe lines or storage tanks were built in different states across the country that would put tens of thousands of people to work. It would be a win, win situation and another upside would be food prices could remain stable. And, - that is my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

Olympic Team USA Uniforms Should Be Trashed.
The Olympic Committee & Greedy Clothes Designers Should Be Ashamed.
THE KUHNS REPORT
___________________
LAS VEGAS:
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
The Olympics Committee had team USA uniforms made in CHINA? What a bonehead move.We have plenty of garment manufacturers here in the Good Ol' USA and those workers certainly could have used the jobs.What is Ralph Lauren thinking. Here's a guy that made a name for himself as a designer but has no qualms about having his stuff made in CHINA. Talk about cheap. This has been designer takes the cake. Because of his celebrity and to save a buck and for personal gain and profit has the garments "Made in China."- I wonder why the well known celebrities buy his crap? They should boycott it. Who wants to wear clothes that are made on the cheap in another country. But I guess that says a lot for these celebrities that swoon and pander to this clothes designer. Folks, did you see the Team USA uniforms? They look silly and stupid. Instead of a "French Beret" the team could wear a cap like the USA World War II military wore and carried on their shoulder when they were not wearing them ( color optional) to match a blazer. The cap could have a USA insignia emblazoned on it . Even a USA white sailor cap with a USA insignia would look very smart with any color blazer. Last but not least , as a suggestion - - Have the USA team where a "Cowboy" hat. Again (color optional). If that isn't American and tells the world that the team is USA, I don't know what is. And, all of the Olympic uniforms should be "MADE IN AMERICA", Period.
What is it with our country and these big companies and institutions "outsourcing " good jobs to CHINA and elsewhere? This outsourcing of garments, shoes, and all the other items that can clearly be manufactured and"Made in the USA" has to stop. Congress should take steps to have these clothing manufacturers make their items here in America. These big clothing designers like Lauren are a blight on America. They lack patriotism , concern and love of the United States all in the name of greed and profit.
Hell, people. A first year college student studying design could have designed a better looking uniform that this alleged famous designer. And Lauren is going to sell the uniforms for a couple grand or more. COME ON! In my opinion, Lauren and other designers of his ilk had their day decades ago. I think people should refuse to continue to support these designers that offer expensive clothes that in reality are nothing more than a cheaply made, flimsy excuse for a quality garment. People across the country should demand that these current Olympic uniforms be done over and "MADE IN THE USA." And, - That's my opinion, Make your own decisions. You decide.

IT'S TIME FOR NEW YORKER'S TO BAN MAYOR BLOOMBERG
HE SHOULD GET A LIFE
THE KUHNS REPORT
___________________
LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Downsizing and restricting soft drinks to 16 ounces "could" curb obesity consumption say New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He and his puppet regime , the "Health and Human Services Commission and Thomas Farley continue to chip away at peoples freedom and choice. To rationalize his ban he falls back on the " Beating the dead Horse" argument "It's a health issue." That's baloney. Everything a person eats or drinks is a health issue. Could and should can be interpreted in many ways. Bloomberg's pastrami and corn beef sandwiches he eats COULD , and is, a health issue, his tea or coffee COULD, and is, a health issue. desserts he, his family and relatives consume COULD, and is, a health issue.
This guy, with his billions of dollars bought himself an extra term in office is nothing more that a dictator. He waves his hand and mandates what is good for New Yorkers telling them what they can eat and drink and, how much. First Bloomberg banned smoking in the city's bars, restaurants, parks and beaches. Why? Because he was a non-smoker. Talk about a conflict of interest? He had his own personal agenda and because he was a nonsmoker he banned tobacco use for everyone in the city. If he were honest he would admit it. He called in favors using his power and money and instructed his Health and Human Services zombies who do not want to offend him to control Trans Fats for everyone in the city. That not being enough, he again ordered his zombie Health Service people to regulate calories, and now - - SODA.
This guy reminds me of those small inadequate leaders in Korea and Iran who pass laws, institute bans and mandates telling their people what they can eat, drink and how to live. Those dictators, not unlike Bloomberg tells their people it is for their own good and that he is looking out after them. He says he knows what is good for them. WOW!
Why is it that all these small inadequate leaders try to make up for their own inadequacies by using their money and power to control people and their behavior? Bloomberg's close circle of friends and colleagues have been rubber stamping all of his demands and wishes much too long. He is a small man, with a small mind who has a small view of the world about what this great country was founded on- - life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness AND freedom of choice.
When are the people of New York City going to say, "enough is enough?" Wake up New Yorker's. Quit being a bunch of sheep.Ba, Ba, Ba, - -stop following Bloomberg's destructive bans. Stripping people of their freedom of choice like this little wanna-be do-gooder has been doing is tearing down America,
Mark my word: If New Yorker's do not stand up to this little man his next move will be how much food and what food you are allowed to eat. It will not stop with burgers, bacon, pies, cakes, and anything Bloomberg feels can bring on diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems.
BUT PEOPLE, there are literally thousands and thousands of food and drink items that might contribute to anyone being diagnosed with those ailments Bloomberg drags out and holds up as an example for his crazy silly bans.
Parents can educate their children as to what foods and how much they want them to eat and adults are smart enough to make their own choices. In this country, for centuries, the free American people have been doing just fine making their own choices. Instead of passing bans on food and drink, or for that fact, any legal product that a person might want to put into their body our lawmakers should do what they already have been doing for decades. Just put warning labels on the product and allow the people to make up their own mind as to whether they was to consume it. Warning labels is all the American people need. What we do not need is a little Napoleon running amok in or society, using their money and power to enjoy what they like while at the same time suppressing what others might like.
Finally, the people of New York and other states all around the country should rise up in peaceful protest and demonstrate their opposition to the Big Brother, Nanny state mentality.I say if, little guy, Bloomberg, doesn't want to drink more that 16 ounces of Soda, eat Trans Fat, enjoy a fine cigar or a cigarette, -- or wants to keep his calorie count down that is certainly his choice and rightly so. But it is not his prerogative to dictate and his force his personal likes and dislikes on the rest of us.
People are going to live and die each and every day like they have been doing since the beginning of time by way of making their own choices and lifestyle throughout their life. That's the cycle of life. Bloomberg's doctrine is lame and it stinks. And,- that is my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
