BILL COSBY SHOULD TRY SOME HONEST REDEMPTION.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Marilyn, from Ohio, asked my opinion on the Bill Cosby matter. So, here it is Marilyn. If all of the allegations that have surfaced are true then I believe there should be some kid of an apology from Cosby. Since statute of limitations apply after all these years I can't see where any criminal action could be taken against Cosby today.
That said, personally, I have no use for predators and according to all of the information provided by the large number of women that came forward describing the alleged sexual acts I think there should be consequences to the alleged predator.
It appears that all of the complaining women tell the same story: They allege Cosby drugged them and then committed sexual acts upon their bodies, without their permission. Most all tell the same tale and all said they were afraid to come forward because no one would believe them and because he was : "BILL COSBY"
It was also reported in the media that person(s) in the entertainment industry knew of Cosby's alleged crimes, but said nothing. It was also reported that at least one case was settled before it went to court.
The sad part is: How does a man that has most everything they would ever want stoop to DRUGGING women to have their way with them sexually. I'm sure that Cosby could have had many women just by asking them to sleep with him. There are tons of star struck women in the country that would have sex for the chance of being in a movie, sit com, or whatever. It happens every day. The movie/entertainment industry is rife with that sort of thing. But possibly, Cosby, for reasons only known to him decided that his way to have sex is to incapacitate the woman by drugs and have his way. Was he afraid these women would say "No?" Did he think he couldn't get these women in bed without drugging them? Who knows? Cosby is not talking. Apparently, if the allegations are true. That was Cosby's "mode of operation."
Yet, the hits, keep on coming, don't they? It seems another woman comes forward most everyday. People often say, where there's smoke there's fire but in Cosby's case it looks like a firestorm.
The networks were right in cancelling any upcoming television show that was in production for Cosby. I say they were right when they took his old Cosby Show off the air and will stop running all those reruns and it was correct when the Letterman Show pulled the plug on Cosby's appearance.
What does bother me is some of the people here in Las Vegas allowing Cosby to still appear at the TREASURE ISLAND Hotel and Casino. I think they should have cancelled his upcoming shows. It is reported that the owner of the Treasure Island Hotel/Casino, Phil Ruffin, is a very good friend of Cosby's so since he owns the hotel he has the juice to let Cosby go on and appear there. My thought would be -- WHY? Is raking in the money from curiosity seekers worth the reputation of the hotel/casino? I think the prudent thing Ruffin and his Treasure Island Hotel/Casino could have done was follow suit with the networks and cancel his appearance. But - -THIS is VEGAS folks and juice goes a long way. Shame on the Treasure Island Hotel/Casino for enabling this alleged predator. Cosby's credibility has taken a nose dive around the world. However, this hotel.casino continues to present Cosby. The Treasure Island Casino even said all proceeds from Cosby's shows will go to charity. I say, that doesn't make it right. Cosby's contract and any future contract at the hotel/casino should be cancelled.
Would I pay to see the man perform? No!
Where's the women's groups. They should be taking to the streets here in Las Vegas protesting Cosby's appearance at the TI.
Some of my thoughts in this matter are that Bill Cosby's situation should be treated similar to how the nation and public treated O.J.Simpson. Shun the guy, don't pay to see him appear in public.Why would you? What would he say during a performance that would be of interest to an audience? Public opinion counts for a lot. I also predict the Cosby situation will get worse with each new revelation that seeps out. It's clearly not going to get any better, especially when Cosby, himself, refuses to discuss the case or face any of his accusers.
I would say to Bill Cosby - -seek redemption Cosby. Go public, talk about your sexual indiscretions that occurred over the decades and ask the public for FORGIVENESS. That's a step forward and will be some semblance of closure for the women who said they were drugged and raped by you. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions., You decide.

OBAMA, LIKE A KING, WAVED HIS PEN AND GAVE AMNESTY TO MILLIONS. THAT'S WRONG!
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Today, November 21, 2014, President Obama came to Las Vegas to tout his immigration executive order.
If Congress believes his actions are illegal why didn't they stop him before he could put a pen to paper allowing approximately 5. 3 million illegal immigrants to stay in America. What about injunctions? Don't they apply to the president? Doesn't the law apply to him? I'm sure Congress could find a way to stifle this unconstitutional end run around Congress allowing all these illegals to remain in the United States.
I see Obama's move as strictly political. The Democrats lost the mid-term election so he (King Obama) wants the Democrats to regain the majority in the 2016 presidential elections so he plays the Hispanic card to win over the Latinos in the 2016 election. In addition, remember,Senator Harry Reid from Nevada is running again and it is no coincidence that ( Emperor Obama) decided to travel to Las Vegas to sign his immigration executive order. Why? It is one of the largest Hispanic communities in the United States. Politics as usual? You bet. Two-Thirds of all of these illegal individuals that will benefit from Obama's mish-mosh act are from Mexico .
Obama's crazy move on immigration is the biggest change since President Reagan gave millions of illegals amnesty in 1986. Then Reagan promised that his amnesty would stop the flow of illegal aliens into the U.S., BUT as history can show, it didn't do that. In fact, the illegal aliens coming into the United States grew by millions - - some say (11 million), others say (14 million) and there have been reports that the actual figure is really (21 million) illegal aliens living in the U.S.
I submit that this political game by Obama and his administration dealing with "illegals" will only encourage more "illegal aliens" to "illegally" cross into the U.S. In 1986 amnesty didn't help and this BACK DOOR amnesty of Obama's will not help stop the flow either. What will stop the illegal aliens from coming to America is strict enforcement, Some of my suggestions would be: A fence running the full length of the Southern border; a substantial increase of Border Patrol agents actually patrolling the border; more intense video monitoring along the full length of the border; increase in drone surveillance; mandate that ALL EMPLOYERS in the U.S .use the E-Verify Identification system. If the person is found to be illegal through E-Verify, -- "No work." Chances are the "illegal alien" will head for their home country when they find they can't get work AND E-VERIFY will do that. Then, an important aspect to quash the "illegal alien" flow would be to ACTUALLY send the illegals back at the point of crossing the border.
Currently Obama and his NANNY administration issued orders to immigration officials, law enforcement and his justice department not to arrest illegals, UNLESS they are criminals. What a joke. I would say that when an illegal sneaks into the USA - -that is an illegal act. Thus, they are indeed a criminal.
Obama and his ilk clearly want to dismantle the law enforcement powers of those agencies that can and should enforce the laws we already have on the books regarding immigration. Our law enforcement officers swore to uphold the constitution and the law of the land but Obama and the Department of Homeland Security has issued policy to these law enforcement people to ignore the law. Can you imagine? Fact is, Obama and his cadre of wimpy colleagues SUE law enforcement and state and local agencies claiming that their efforts DO NOT match federal "enforcement priorities."
Recent polls have indicated that the majority of Americans disapprove of the president's call for AMNESTY and they want Obama to work with Congress to resolve the immigration nightmare. Further the people of America feel that they would like to see Obama's administration FAITHFULLY and HONESTLY administer our nation's laws rather than pick and choose the ones he wants to manipulate -- and that includes the immigration system.
This move by Obama with his executive order will now allow MILLIONS of illegals to get jobs and work, (according to the president) but I offer the view that we have millions of actual legal U. S. CITIZENS out of work struggling. Consider all of the veterans that returned from combat that need to find a job and earn a salary. These "illegal aliens" that Obama gave his blessings will now take those jobs from the Vets and American citizens - -DON'T KID YOURSELF, that will happen.
Finally, it appears that the toughest Sheriff in America. Joe Arpaio filed suit against Obama and his administration over Obama's immigration end run--Hooray!!! Why doesn't Congress and states do the same?
Boy, will I be glad when Obama's term comes to an end. He is mucking up this country beyond recognition. As you all know, I am an independent voter. Always have been and always will be. I vote for the person that I think will do the best job for the country and when Obama first ran for president and articulated his ideas I DID vote for him. I thought there would be a change, as he promised. But after finding out he lied to the American people and clearly backed off of a number of things he promised AMERICA I voted against him the second time around. This guy has dragged America down, way down. Under his so-called (ha, ha) leadership we see the economy in the toilet, job losses, wages down, he is causing and funding perpetual wars around the world, his administration prints money whenever they need it, causing the value of our dollar to sink like a rock -- and , the list can go on and on with Obama's failures.
People, we need better to run this great country. Here's hoping that the Republicans enormous win in the mid-terms will put them on notice to get things done, and quickly. For starters, the Keystone Pipe Line project-- thousands of jobs will be good; redo infrastructure in the country - -more jobs, that's good. Repeal the current Obama Health Plan and undo Obama's political immigration move because AMERICANS DO NOT WANT AMNESTY and that is what Obama has done today. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

BRITNEY SPEARS LAS VEGAS SHOW BUMS PEOPLE OUT.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
"Britney Spears Day" and presenting her with the key-to-the city? What a joke. It looks like Las Vegas is reaching to the bottom of the barrel. Caesars Entertainment artists congratulated her for becoming this years biggest Strip star. Who are they kidding? The PR people for Caesars is trying to put a good face on the failing drawing power of Ms. Spears.
As I said before in blogs regarding Britney Spears, she is an over the hill "bubble-gum" pretend entertainer. When she was brought to Las Vegas by the casino honchos to perform (if that's what you call it) they paid her million dollars for a contract. Now I bet they are wishing they had never signed her to a long contract. I've always maintained she is not "star" power and for the PR push that she is this years biggest Strip Star is laughable.
Her show in Las Vegas is a dud. I predicted that Spears would bomb out even before her opening night in Las Vegas. Now there are reports that she has tons of unsold seats at her performances. The Halloween show only sold half of the tickets for her show. Billboard magazine reported that in October, Britney sold only SEVENTY-THREE (73%) percent of seats for her show.
I also predicted early on before she opened in Las Vegas that since she was a pretend entertainer and "lip synced", pretending to sing songs that the audience would not buy her routine. It appears I was right on, again. Complaints from around the country is that she li syncs, mouthing the words to the songs. And, get this, this lady also charges $2,500 for a meet-and-greet. Who in their right mind would want to pay $2,500 to shake the hand of someone who only pretends. Maybe if it were $5.00, it would be worth meeting her. But $2,500? Come on! Talk about a rip off. Entertainers that actually sing their songs and have name recognition never charged that much for an up close.
Ticket sales for Britney are so bad that her promoters said they would give "free" tickets to people named, "Britney" and to top that, the person didn't even have to spell their name like Britney's. It could be any variation on the name Britney. That's sad, folks. Anything to fill the seats, right? But even that did not do it. Sold out audiences for Britney doesn't happen and won't happen. It takes a lot of talent for a person to sell 4,600 tickets at $525.00 dollars a pop PLUS a fee-for seats each and every show.And talent is something Britney cannot conjure up.
I suggest you could put a Styrofoam mannequin up on stage and play a juke box in the background and get the same type of performance Britney does. Hell, she just stands there pretending to sing the songs and at times when she tries to moves about the stage she appears to be lagging behind any dancers that try to accompany her.
All the show really does is present music which people can dance to. It's not meant to showcase a live, singing performance. Anyone could enjoy that same sound by playing a CD, minus Britney, her dance troupe, and get the same feeling.
I think the casino execs are trying a little to hard to sell this Britney Spears package. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

SGT. ANDREW TAHMOORESSI RELEASED FROM MEXICAN JAIL
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi was finally released from a Mexican Jail after 214 days of incarceration. Due to pressure put on Mexico's government by United States officials Tahmooressi is free and in Florida. There was a lot of arm twisting and arguing . In the forefront was a push from former governor Bill Richardson, New Mexico; Ed Royce (R-CA); Matt Salmon (R-AZ) and quite a bit of congressional criticism of the Obama administration for not doing enough to get the sergeant released from Mexico. No American should ever be locked away in a Mexican jail and/or prison. They are "hell holes." The only way some foreigners survive in the Mexican jails and prisons is by bribing the jailers and government officials. It is no secret that corruption pervades in Mexico and often times it is the only way to receive an ounce of relief for anyone held in custody in that country. In any event the sergeant is free - -Hooray!!
The Mexican government arrested Sgt. Tahmooressi when he went into Mexico with weapons and ammunition. The Mexican government has very strict rules and policy about bringing weapons and/or ammunition into their country. Tahmooressi said it was "just an innocent mistake" that he carried guns into Mexico but the Mexican government didn't buy his version which resulted in his being held in a Mexican jail for 7 months.
Sergeant Tahmooressi's attorney and family said that the sergeant was confused, mixed up and had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) when he arrived in Mexico with the weapons and that the only reason he had weapons and ammunition in his car was because "it made him feel safe". Now that he's home I would hope that his family would see the folly of allowing their son to ride around in a car with weapons and/or ammunition inside "just so he can feel safe." It's a train wreck waiting to happen. Acts of that nature has to come to a screeching halt.
.
Now that Tahmooressi is back home with family I would think there are some issues that should be addressed. For instance, his mother said that he dropped out of college because he could not concentrate. It was also reported that the sergeant was still in the Marine Corp Reserves.
Being an ex-Marine myself I would wonder why a person who had PTSD would still be serving in the Marine Corp. If this man has trouble adjusting to in life how can he lead others in the corp and carry out military duties and tasks if, in fact, he is truly affected with PTSD. The criteria for PTSD lists a host of mental dysfunction that clearly would prevent him from serving at any competent level in the Marie Corp reserve.
I would suggest that Sergeant Tahmooressi be treated for the PTSD and separated from any and all military duties. Lets just look at the one instance about carrying weapons (guns) and ammunition around in his personal vehicle (because it makes him feel safe). I'm sure any person in the United States would like to carry weapons in their car so they, too, can feel safe. But it is not reality. We can't. Laws prohibit such acts. I am sure Tahmooressi knows that and he should not get a pass because he is said to experience PTSD.
It's not uncommon for military personnel returning from their tour of duty who has PTSD to be retired and/or separated from military service and later commits felony acts involving a weapon(s) and I woulds submit that is one reason why this sergeant should never have or been allowed to carry weapons around in his car, (no matter what reason he, his family, or attorney uses as rationale).
If Tahmooressi is afflicted with PTSD and medical records substantiate that fact there is only one solution,TREATMENT. Treatment is the answer. Pay the man his medical/veteran benefits and separate him totally from any further duties with the Marine Corp and/or any other branch of the military service. In addition, keep him away from any type of weapons to prevent him from doing harm to himself or others. There are many options for him to feel safe and secure without weapons within arms reach. If, on the other hand he does not have PTSD, then allow him to continue to serve in the Marine Corp reserve and get on with his life. But don't have it both ways. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

A JUDGE LIFTS QUARANTINE. NURSE HICKOX THUMBS HER NOSE AT MAINERS.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
Hello Americas, and how is the world treating you?
Nurse Kaci Hickox, 33, is in the state of Maine, suing so she can run around among the general public. The state of Maine should not buckle under to this nurses threats. I would think that state health officials rules, regulations and mandates would trump a whining woman's total disregard for the safety of people's health and well being. But it looks like wrong-minded, uninformed judge Charles LaVerdiere lifted the quarantine for Hickox. What does that tell you about people in the legal system who may have an ax to grind or has a political agenda? Instead of putting the welfare and health of the people of Maine first this judge let Hickox have her way as she thumbs her nose at the authorities. That's sad. My view - -nurse Hickox should have been taken into custody as soon as she left the residence. She should not be allowed to defy a quarantine. Governor Paul LePage should appeal this judges decision.
I would think if voters vote judges to the bench in Maine they should dump LaVerdiere next election cycle. I believe nurse Hickox complaints should have been tossed out immediately by the judge and any judiciary body. If we have judges in Maine that care less about the health and welfare of its citizens I would suggest that the state of Maine's legislators take action and pass legislation to be certain other judges follow mandates of health officials. The legislators should make it perfectly clear that anyone coming in from West Africa be isolated and quarantined for the 21 day period. No excuses.
The judge said: "The court is fully aware of the misconceptions, misinformation, bad science and bad information being spread from shore to shore in our country in respect to Ebola," He also said the court is fully aware that people are acting our of fear and that this fear is not entirely rational."
Wow! The judge is suddenly a clairvoyant, a swami, maybe he's a latent medical God of infectious diseases who, from the mountain top, makes his pronouncement that he knows people FEAR Ebola. He states people are acting out of fear when they request and require a quarantine. To him I would say - -No! Judge LaVerdiere, people in the health community and government officials are acting in a rational manner by placing restrictions on ANY possible Ebola infected person coming into the USA from West Africa.. These officials are acting in a prudent and reasonable manner when they initiate a quarantine policy. In Hickox's case the health officials and lawmakers were clearly acting to protect Mainers, as a precaution against Ebola. I would suggest that Judge LaVerdiere is the one that is out of touch and does not have the slightest inkling regarding the possible ramifications of the lethal disease.
Keep in mind nurse Hickox came home from West Africa and REFUSED to stay home and abide by a voluntary quarantine. She lied and broke promises she made to state officials - - bluntly speaking, she "lied."
Here's a woman that appears to be ignorant of the fact that there is a possibility, (no matter how slight, she could infect the general population if she goes out among them. Where's her concern for others? This arrogant nurse, above all people, should have concern for the health and safety of others. But apparently she doesn't. However, it looks as though she wants her 15 minutes of fame in the spotlight so people will recognize her. I would think that in a lot of peoples minds she appears to be a totally untrustworthy person. And, then to top it off, one of her antics was daring and inviting the media press people to shake her hand, touch her. What a stupid stunt. I would think until there is actual, definitive proof as to how the deadly Ebola can be totally erased from one's body without any recurrence in future all Mainer's and others around the country should consider using caution when interacting with a person that interacted with an infected Ebola patient.
I said it before and I say it again - -even the health official experts in the government does not really know and have a full understanding of the effects of Ebola on an individual. It is all GUESSTIMATES. To date there is no complete treatment and/or cure for this deadly disease and there are NO FDA-approved vaccines or cures for Ebola, and the experimental drugs to treat the disease are in the very early stages of development . I submit it would be more than appropriate to err on the side of CAUTION. Thus, quarantines should be imposed on any and all persons arriving from West Africa and definitely should be placed in at least a 21 day quarantine. That includes health care workers.
Will the fatal disease rear it's ugly head again in a mutated way down the line? Will it, or can it lay dormant in an infected persons body for years and then reappear in some form or manner that was unknown or unexpected by the health care community? Could that happen? It's possible. The so-called experts doesn't really know.But if and when it does I predict there will be a lot of finger pointing.There will be statements such as: "we had no idea that this would happen." "we had no plans for that to occur." "It wasn't our fault, we had no way to predict it."
Just as an example- look at some of the medications doctors prescribe today for various diseases and ailments. They prescribe the drugs saying the medication will help alleviate and/or cure the disease. Guess what? In many cases, it doesn't. Two, three, four, five -- even ten and twenty years later they find that the medication did not do the trick and in fact did harm to the person and/or a disease has mutated into another deadly strain. There are lawsuits everyday over bad medications and the damage it caused to a person years earlier. The harm is discovered only years later. By then it's too late. Who knows what the result will be of the medications being used on the Ebola infected patients today? Will they really rid the persons body of all and any traces of the Ebola disease? It's an unknown, people. As i stated before: look at Chicken Pox. It lies dormant in a persons body and then often reappears causing Shingles, which can cause blindness, nerve pain for life, and even death. Then there is the reappearance of Tuberculosis which is now resistant to present day medications.Now we are back looking for a cure, again.
I keep shouting from the rooftops: Any person suspected of being exposed to an Ebola patient should be ISOLATED immediately; QUARANTINED immediately, treated at ONE LOCATION, ONE SPECIFIC FACILITY, by a specif team of health care workers. CONTAINMENT is the name of the game as far as I'm concerned and all of the above steps will accomplish that.
But people, containment with certainty will never happen until the ONE LOCATION, ONE FACILITY is enacted. Again, just within the last 48 hours another suspected Ebola patient was admitted to a Portland, Oregon hospital. I believe that patient should have been sent to a location specific for Ebola treatment rather than a hospital in a major city. The possibility of errors occurring at random hospitals across the country is like an accident waiting to happen.
What I also disagree with is president Obama scolding Americans and saying that anyone exposed to Ebola patients should not be isolated and quarantined. He goes on to say that doctors and nurses will not want to go to West Africa to treat and work with Ebola patients if they are going to be isolated and quarantined when they return. What a bunch of gobbly-gook that is. From my experience in the health field I found that doctors and nurses treat patients around the world mainly because they want to do the right thing and adhere to their oath. Being quarantined for a period of 21 days after return from an infected country is just part of the package and they should know that going in. Contrary to Obama's view I would say that the dedicated doctors, nurses and health care workers would not let a 21 day quarantine, observation period stop their commitment to doing their good deeds.
Obama is not looking our for the security of Americans when he refuses to have every person coming into the country from West Africa placed in quarantine for the 21 day incubation time frame. That move would be a prudent, common sense approach and I applaud Governor Christie, officials in Florida and Illinois for putting in place stringent rules for possible Ebola infected individuals. Even the Pentagon is taking the step to isolate and quarantine military personnel who return from West Africa for the 21 day incubation period. And now Canada is banning flights from West Africa in to their country. It seems every reasonable country and person is taking legitimate precautions against Ebola but - -Obama refuses to see the benefits and advantages to stop Ebola in America so he sticks to his stubborn point of view with total disregard for Americans.
Folks, it is my opinion that Obama and his government health officials are just playing politics and wanting to be politically correct. And for him to side with nurse Hickox is a slap in the face for all Americans that expect the government, especially the administration , to protect their health and welfare. Obama says he does protect us and the government says they do. They pass laws to keep people from smoking; what kids can eat in school; what they are not allowed to eat out of vending machines; what type of oils people fry their food in. Mrs. Obama even has the government push rules and regulations to have children and people eat cardboard tasting, yucky food in the name of fitness. This is all in the name of "we know what's good for you." " We'll take care of you Americans from birth to death." That is their battle cry. YET, when one of the most deadly diseases on the planet is brought to America, Obama, and his political correct government officials refuse to take a firm, hard stand on the Ebola crisis because they choose to play the voting, politic card. - And, that's my opinion.Make your own decisions. You decide.

THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
Hello Americas, and how is the world treating you?
Nurse Kaci Hickox, 33, is in the state of Maine, suing so she can run around among the general public. The state of Maine should not buckle under to this nurses threats. I would think that state health officials rules, regulations and mandates would trump a whining woman's total disregard for the safety of people's health and well being. But it looks like wrong-minded, uninformed judge Charles LaVerdiere lifted the quarantine for Hickox. What does that tell you about people in the legal system who may have an ax to grind or has a political agenda? Instead of putting the welfare and health of the people of Maine first this judge let Hickox have her way as she thumbs her nose at the authorities. That's sad. My view - -nurse Hickox should have been taken into custody as soon as she left the residence. She should not be allowed to defy a quarantine. Governor Paul LePage should appeal this judges decision.
I would think if voters vote judges to the bench in Maine they should dump LaVerdiere next election cycle. I believe nurse Hickox complaints should have been tossed out immediately by the judge and any judiciary body. If we have judges in Maine that care less about the health and welfare of its citizens I would suggest that the state of Maine's legislators take action and pass legislation to be certain other judges follow mandates of health officials. The legislators should make it perfectly clear that anyone coming in from West Africa be isolated and quarantined for the 21 day period. No excuses.
The judge said: "The court is fully aware of the misconceptions, misinformation, bad science and bad information being spread from shore to shore in our country in respect to Ebola," He also said the court is fully aware that people are acting our of fear and that this fear is not entirely rational."
Wow! The judge is suddenly a clairvoyant, a swami, maybe he's a latent medical God of infectious diseases who, from the mountain top, makes his pronouncement that he knows people FEAR Ebola. He states people are acting out of fear when they request and require a quarantine. To him I would say - -No! Judge LaVerdiere, people in the health community and government officials are acting in a rational manner by placing restrictions on ANY possible Ebola infected person coming into the USA from West Africa.. These officials are acting in a prudent and reasonable manner when they initiate a quarantine policy. In Hickox's case the health officials and lawmakers were clearly acting to protect Mainers, as a precaution against Ebola. I would suggest that Judge LaVerdiere is the one that is out of touch and does not have the slightest inkling regarding the possible ramifications of the lethal disease.
Keep in mind nurse Hickox came home from West Africa and REFUSED to stay home and abide by a voluntary quarantine. She lied and broke promises she made to state officials - - bluntly speaking, she "lied."
Here's a woman that appears to be ignorant of the fact that there is a possibility, (no matter how slight, she could infect the general population if she goes out among them. Where's her concern for others? This arrogant nurse, above all people, should have concern for the health and safety of others. But apparently she doesn't. However, it looks as though she wants her 15 minutes of fame in the spotlight so people will recognize her. I would think that in a lot of peoples minds she appears to be a totally untrustworthy person. And, then to top it off, one of her antics was daring and inviting the media press people to shake her hand, touch her. What a stupid stunt. I would think until there is actual, definitive proof as to how the deadly Ebola can be totally erased from one's body without any recurrence in future all Mainer's and others around the country should consider using caution when interacting with a person that interacted with an infected Ebola patient.
I said it before and I say it again - -even the health official experts in the government does not really know and have a full understanding of the effects of Ebola on an individual. It is all GUESSTIMATES. To date there is no complete treatment and/or cure for this deadly disease and there are NO FDA-approved vaccines or cures for Ebola, and the experimental drugs to treat the disease are in the very early stages of development . I submit it would be more than appropriate to err on the side of CAUTION. Thus, quarantines should be imposed on any and all persons arriving from West Africa and definitely should be placed in at least a 21 day quarantine. That includes health care workers.
Will the fatal disease rear it's ugly head again in a mutated way down the line? Will it, or can it lay dormant in an infected persons body for years and then reappear in some form or manner that was unknown or unexpected by the health care community? Could that happen? It's possible. The so-called experts doesn't really know.But if and when it does I predict there will be a lot of finger pointing.There will be statements such as: "we had no idea that this would happen." "we had no plans for that to occur." "It wasn't our fault, we had no way to predict it."
Just as an example- look at some of the medications doctors prescribe today for various diseases and ailments. They prescribe the drugs saying the medication will help alleviate and/or cure the disease. Guess what? In many cases, it doesn't. Two, three, four, five -- even ten and twenty years later they find that the medication did not do the trick and in fact did harm to the person and/or a disease has mutated into another deadly strain. There are lawsuits everyday over bad medications and the damage it caused to a person years earlier. The harm is discovered only years later. By then it's too late. Who knows what the result will be of the medications being used on the Ebola infected patients today? Will they really rid the persons body of all and any traces of the Ebola disease? It's an unknown, people. As i stated before: look at Chicken Pox. It lies dormant in a persons body and then often reappears causing Shingles, which can cause blindness, nerve pain for life, and even death.

GOVERNOR CHRISTIE'S APPROACH TO EBOLA RIGHT ON TARGET
THE KUHNS REPORT.
LAS VEGAS
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
It looks like Governor Cuomo is back peddling and playing along with Obama and his political correct posse when it i comes to QUARANTINE of suspected Ebola patients. I applaud the Governor of NJ, Chris Christie, for sticking to his guns. I also applaud Illinois and Florida for deciding to quarantine possible infected Ebola persons.
The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Tom Frieden, falls in line with Obama and tries to rationalize Obama's refusal to quarantine possible infected people. This guy has been falling down on the job since day one of the Ebola crisis yet Obama continues to put credence in his abilities. But in reality, Frieden will do and say anything his puppet master (Obama) wants him to say.
I submit QUARANTINE is a MUST. What is the first thing these government health officials said was necessary --- yep, quarantine , and they did just that with the infected patients.But when it comes to a quarantine on travelers suspected of carrying the lethal disease they use excuse after excuse "not" to quarantine. We have one nurse, Kaci Hickox, who recently returned from an Ebola country who was placed in quarantine and she cried and complained that the quarantine was "inhumane" and that she's being picked on. She even threatened to sue. And guess what, she was released from quarantine. The government health officials should have told this whining, nurse to WOMAN UP! Quit your whining and do the 21 days, lady. I have no doubt that her employer would still pay her for the days she was out . Result: The nanny conditioned White House and health officials cave in and agree that there should be no quarantines regarding people coming in from the Ebola infected countries. Can you imagine?
People, we have no CURE for this deadly virus and until we have a specific, accurate treatment for Ebola it WILL NOT ever be contained. It is no secret that most everything the government talking heads have told the American public so far about the Ebola virus has been proven to be WRONG and/or untrue.
These muddled health officials led by Obama's cadre' continue to tell us that a quarantine on a national scale will not work, but do you notice these same people quickly QUARANTINE each and every person with EBOLA. It's as simple as 2 plus 2 equals four to a fifth grader. Hell, if there is someone who has Ebola that person should be kept away from those people that DO NOT have Ebola. It's not rocket science - -QUARANTINE them for the suspected incubation period of 21 days. But the political word from the White House ignores the quarantine issue because they have an agenda.
Folks, so far the government spent approximately $500,000, just on patient Duncan in that Texas hospital for his Ebola treatment. Apparently it costs about $500,000 per patient and we have been treating patient after patient and I predict it will get worse and the cost will continue to rise as the Ebola patients increase. Duncan and his family didn't pay dime one for the treatment. They got a free pass and I suspect all the other patients that have been treated will have a ZERO medical bill from the government (courtesy of OUR tax money.)
Dr. Frieden and his colleagues that have been advising Obama should be turned out to pasture, in fact, FIRED would be better. They appear to me to be a bunch of Keystone Cops blind to the dangers of a serious situation. All in the name of politics. That's sad.
Governor Christie has it right and those other lawmakers from other states that agree with Governor Christie's position HAS it right - - QUARANTINE the traveler's. Better safe than sorry, right? Once the Genie has been let out of the bottle, it will not be able to be put back in and contained. Governor Christie is on the right track. I sincerely hope he doesn't waffle like Governor Cuomo.
Like I preached before in earlier blogs, I said from the start of this Ebola outbreak: AIR TRAVEL BANS is a must. Do not let anyone infected with the Ebola virus into the United States. Treat them at the source in the country where they contracted the deadly virus. If there is any infected person diagnosed in the United States the protocol should be: ISOLATE immediately, QUARANTINE immediately and treat the infected person at ONE specific LOCATION in ONE SPECIFIC FACILITY with a specific team of health care workers.
And finally, any person coming into the United States from Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and West Africa countries shoud be QUARANTINED in isolation for the 21 days, away from any and all other people, with the exception of the health care workers observing and working the case. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

VOTER PHOTO ID SHOULD BE THE LAW OF THE LAND.
THE KUHNS REPORT
LAS VEGAS
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
The courts allowed Texas voter ID law to go forward. Hooray!
A majority of the Supreme Court on Saturday rejected an emergency request from Obama's Justice Dept. and Civil Rights groups to prohibit the state of Texas from requiring voters to show certain forms of photo ID in order to cast a ballot.
We have all these nanny's and cry babies saying that requiring someone to show a photo ID at the polls before they vote is mean and discriminatory. What a bunch of manure that argument is. The groups that are against photo ID also say that it will affect Latinos and Blacks because the poor people can't afford an ID. WHAT? Are they kidding? I believe that most everybody in the nation has some form of ID with a photo attached.
Many of the people that these groups and whimpy lawmaker's talk about already have ID's. Let's remember everyone generally needs an ID to cash a check; open a bank account; drive a car; collect city, county , state and federal benefits, such as welfare and social security. Even to buy alcohol in a 7-11 or liquor store the person has to show ID. They also need a passport and proper ID to travel into and outside the United States so -- hey! Come on.
The problem is the lawmaker's opposed to photo ID and the special ethnic groups that oppose the Photo ID plan clearly want people to vote that should not be allowed to vote. Many of these lawmaker's and groups have an agenda to allow illegal aliens and minorities to vote, perhaps multiple times.
One of the main reasons they oppose photo ID at the polls is that people can't afford an ID. Boy, are they reaching for straws. People, in many states if a person doesn't drive and have a drivers license the state will issue a state photo ID which basically looks like a drivers license ID. It has a photo, age and other pertinent data to identify that person holding the identification. Plus Texas and other states that ask for voter ID give the prospective voter ample opportunity to present other forms of photo identification . It's not like a person cannot identify themselves.
When my mother stopped driving at the age of 85-years-old, she relinquished her drivers license but she needed a photo ID so the state of California issued her the PHOTO ID for identification purposes. As I recall the cost of the photo ID card at the time was only $2.00 or $3.00 dollars. So my question? If a person claims they currently do not have a photo ID how much trouble is it to pay the state a few dollars to acquire one? If the person is elderly and can't afford the cost of a state ID card (as the people that oppose voter ID) claim. Why can't the children of the elderly person spring for the few bucks to have their parent issued a state ID card?
Folks, the other argument from those that oppose voter photo ID is that: there is not voter fraud occurring at the polls. They say because of that fact a voter photo ID card is unnecessary. How wrong they are. There IS voter ID fraud occurring every election throughout the country. People vote more than once. Others who are illegal aliens and people who do not have citizenship in the U.S. have been caught casting ballots in an election. However, the groups and people that are opposed to showing a photo ID at the polls want to turn a blind eye to the fraud. Many of the groups and people have an agenda. I submit they actually want the illegal aliens, non-citizens and the fraudsters to cast a ballot. Some political parties feel it is to their advantage to have illegal votes cast in order to sway an election one way or the other.
I suggest that the only reason an individual would not want to show a photo ID to authentic their person is because they have something to hide, (i.e.) they're not a legal citizen; they are an illegal alien; they are using a fraudulent name (some other identity); they are afraid to show up at a state office and present proof and identification that they are in fact the person who wants to be issued a voter ID card.
But keep in mind many of these same people that have objections to presenting a proper ID card at a voting booth are the same people that have NO problems presenting identification to collect social security benefits, welfare and food stamps, cash a check, show identification when asked to identify themselves by a law enforcement officer, dealing with the school and educational system, etc.
So what is their big gripe about not wanting to show proper identification in order to cast a vote? They seem to be able to identify themselves for many other reasons -- why not when casting a ballot to vote. I submit the Supreme Court should make it the law of the land that any e person who wants to cast a ballot in an election should have to present a photo ID to verify that person and their vote in in fact, legal. Voting in America is one of the most cherished rights an American citizen has. It should not be mucked up by a political party, a special group and/or a fraudulent person. Finally, who would be afraid to show a photo identification at a voting booth if they are a legal citizen of the United States? It's clear that a state ID card is available to anyone in most states (at a very nominal fee, sometimes free), if they can prove who they are. And, that's my opinion. Make your own decision. You decide.
