Key Sandusky case witness to testify

"It is a truth universally acknowledged", paraphasing the revered Jane Austen that a Coach is unlike

other men. I am not saying he is a head case but his head is always in the game. Tom Wingo of

the magnificent novel by Pat Conroy and later made into a terrific movie with Nick Nolte, is a perfect

example. That said, I do not understand football but is it possible that Coach Jerry Sandusky was

positioning the young man for a football play? Just asking!!!! Mr. Sandusky is an attractive man,

and No Bob Costas I am not sexually attracted to him. I am just saying he does not look like a duck

to me.

Coach Paterno knew and McQueary told him about Jerry. Jerry should stop wasting time and plead guilty.

All the news is Mitt's fairy tale about how in 1968 he was in France and was so poor he had to shower with a hose, but the truth is Mitt lived in a Palace and his Dad was considered for US President. Newt did well after his 85 ethic violation charges as he not only got 1.8 million from Fannie/Freddie to advise how to collape the housing dept. but slick Newt even benefited from the Stimulus money. Either candidate will do as voters will give President Obama another SHELLACKING and make sure he can't get any recovery done on the Jobs or Economy. Congress is doing exactly what they have done for 8 years and kept their promise that they would make sure Obama/USA fail.

Senator McConnell said the people want the pipeline and don't care if it has a major disaster and destroys much of the States. People support the oil companies and lots of money can be made and once that Health Care Bill is repealed millions of Americans will die and get sick from the oil accidents. Greed is strong in the United States and the Law Makers have the voters support.

have a great evening

Good Evening Mr.Williams, A fine Friday broadcast this evening.

The report by Mr.Costello about the last weekend holiday shopping weekend before Christmas truly showed how retailers are desperate for sales and are having huge discounts on merchandise. With the tough economic times for people it is good prices of merchandise are being reduced. Consumers are demanding discounts and the retailers are responding. This weekend being promoted as a "Super Saturday" for holiday sales.

One hopes for better economic times in the coming year and beyond.

The "Making A Difference" segment by Mr.Mott about "Toys for Tots" and the scramble to make sure there are enough toys for all the needy children. It is a wonderful organization founded by the US Marines. Hearing from the Marine who last year was serving his country bravely in Afghanistan and this year is working hard for the "Toys for Tots" organization showed his true dedication to helping others. This certainly is the True meaning of the Christmas spirit.

Many great reports tonight.

Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Have a wonderful weekend! Peace to You and to All!

Be Well Everyone!

Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard! Excellent Reporting this Week as Always!

Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

Lester, I tuned in this evening to Dateline with the Missing D.A. Story and it's possible link to the

Sandusky case, so interesting, but I will not give the "verdict" a way. I always appreciate your

straightforward reporting. Good promo of Brian and Rock Center. Have a great weekend. Phyllis

Good to see you had a conversation with William Black. Did he leave you with the list of questions he has for President Obama? Will you ask the questions?

Here they are if you have trouble finding them.

To date, Bush and Obama have prosecuted none of the mortgage frauds in the top nine levels. I urge reporters to ask him to explain three things about his statements to 60 Minutes. • Why are there no prosecutions of the felons that drove the crisis and occupy the nine worst rungs of unethical and destructive acts? • Explain the five unethical acts by elite financial institutions that you consider the most destructive and least ethical – but which you believe to be legal. How do you rank the degree of unethical conduct and destruction in those acts? • What specific statutory provisions did you propose to make those five unethical acts illegal? As enacted, which provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act made those five unethical acts illegal? Who has been prosecuted for those formerly legal but seriously unethical and destructive acts that were made illegal by the Dodd-Frank Act?

Reporters will have to be persistent in coordinating their follow-up questions to get Obama to provide direct answers to these questions. I request that private citizens write President Obama to ask him to provide specific, written answers to these three questions. I will be proposing a series of questions that I will urge citizens to demand answers to because it is clear that the regular media will rarely ask demanding questions of elite politicians or bankers. It is up to us to hold them accountable and end the doctrine of Presidential Amnesty for Contributors.

You are quite silly and dead wrong with your three Gotcha questions, which no president in his

right mind would answer. Like, When did you stop beating your wife, Mr. President? Get out

of here!!!

#5.1 - Sat Dec 17, 2011 3:34 PM EST

Dave you are correct no one has been prosecuted for the crimes of illegal foreclosures/soldiers homes. But Dave let's look at the bills passed in 2001 to 2005 to assure these crimes were legal. CEO's got bills passed so there would be no prosecution. Remember Law Makers are allowed to fix the Economy in favor of profit as many placed bets that the US Economy would fail and withdraw their profits and set back and watched Americans lose their life saving and cause a Recession. I know it's all Obama's fault as the years the bills were passed and signed by President Bush, Obama wasn't an elected Senator yet but that really doesn't matter do it.

#5.2 - Sun Dec 18, 2011 11:32 PM EST

Jackie, I am a robust GWB Republican but former President George Bush waited too long. As

for as Frannie & Freddy, they don't get it because the government knew all along what they were

doing. These people are looking for looking for somebody to blame and Dave has jumped

on the bandwagon.

#5.3 - Mon Dec 19, 2011 9:11 AM EST

Thanks Phyllis great comment. I grew up I guess a Democrat because it was the old way, but I learned it's about being an American not a political party. As a registered Democrat I felt Reagan would be a better President after listening to both candidates. So I decided to vote for the candidate not the party. I've seen many good people I had loyalty to fall and they even lie as no one is perfect. But when picking a candidate who will serve every American it should be the person as this country is not a Party it's We the People. I don't think when a President is elected he should just represent his/her party. Obama has made some mistakes I think but I now have to see what choices we have in this Presidential election and I loved Hillary and still do. Obama felt her supporters should just give him their vote. I emailed the then candidate Obama and explained no one can tell me who to vote for and he and McCain would have to earn my vote. I didn't hear from Senator McCain but I did hear from Obama who asked what I wanted him to try and do if elected and he asked that I ask any question as he would answer. I know it was his people because Hillary had a large group of supporters that I still keep in contact with. I always look at my self as just an American with a year long tan.

#5.4 - Mon Dec 19, 2011 1:17 PM EST

Jackie, One year I switched and voted for Jimmy Carter to my husband's dismay but I regret my

vote and I believe I am correct in saying that GWB and WJC blame everything on Carter. I still

have the "peanut" necklace. You would think I would have tossed it. Anyway, like you, I love

Hillary. I am grateful to WJC for campaigning for AG Jack Conway who I think of as a

Kentucky-Kennedy and he best represents us, not Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell. I admire

your political involvement and good to know you heard from President Obama; a good sign.

I see myself as an American with British features but great teeth:o) Best, Phyllis

#5.5 - Mon Dec 19, 2011 8:00 PM EST

Yeah I'm just riding the old bandwagon. No laws have been broken and the pResident in the White House and his DoJ aren't turning a blind eye because he gets more donation from those fat cats on Wall Street than anyone. Hell it's been "historic" bahaahahahaha

#5.6 - Tue Dec 20, 2011 12:59 PM EST

You are a hard read. No offense, but it was my impression that you are a man who thinks for

himself, etc. and I was taken back by your unusual verbose post, so cut me some slack, as

I was totally confused by your new writing style. Like I said, you are a hard read which may

explain it. Are you bi-polar, just kidding!!!!

#5.7 - Tue Dec 20, 2011 8:04 PM EST

The post was bi-polar. Everything below "Here they are if you have trouble finding them." was written by William K. Black.

Just trying to help our watchdogs in the New York media out. Why there could be corruption up there if they'd just open their eyes and look around bahahahhaha

#5.8 - Tue Dec 20, 2011 10:04 PM EST

And it's a bi-polar stockmarket for sure, according to stockbrokers.

Brian, interesting William Black story. Of interest, perhaps, the Clinton Administration mandated banks

give home loans to unqualified buyers (because of the bad economy) and repealed Glass Steagall Act.

This is much too big for a State or group of states to deal with. The battle needs to be taken up at

the Federal level. Loved your promo on time travel!!! Does this mean I can go back in time to

Jane Austen's England. before all the trouble began. Phyllis

brian, christopher hitchen's death from esophagal cancer that was the result of his hard drinking and chain-smoking and his own comments about how he drank to survive the boring people makes me wonder if he wasn't a self-medicating bi-polar. in which case, his books may have double-meaning/parallel universe entenders flitting through the pages. maybe he flitted through the parallel universes to keep from being bored! in any case, i am sure that his wife and his children will miss him. as will his readers. best, anna martina

Michele Bachmann was unable to finish her point in the spirited debate with David Gregroy on

Meet the Press Video, so hopefully will be addressed on Nightly News with Lester Holt this evening,

but the impression I got is that she says America is now a banana republic under the Obama

administration. Tell me it isn't so!!!!

#9 - Sun Dec 18, 2011 1:13 PM EST

Good Evening Mr.Williams, a great broadcast this Monday evening Dec.19th. Looking forward again to another airing of Rock Center tonight.

The report by Mr.Todd about the Republican campaign showed the candidates negative attacks on eachother again. Between Gingrich attacking Romney and Bachmann attacking Paul it seems always a constant turmoil of attacks instead of just focusing on the issues. It is very disappointing to hear all the fighting between the candidates. Time will tell who will be the winner of all these caucuses and primaries.

The report by Mr.Seidel from Cimarron, Kansas showed some blizzard conditions with harsh wind gusts blowing the snow all over the area. Not a good time for a wintry storm to be moving through States with the holiday travel. Then all the rain along the Eastcoast. One hopes everyone stays safe and warm.

Great photo of the dragonfly that won the grand prize phot contest by National Geographic.

Staggering to hear that families spent $4,155 on gas this year being 8.4% of the family income.

The "Making A Difference" segment update by Chelsea Clinton about Annette Dove and her program TOPPS that helps so many children in need showed how viewers are truly generous and kindhearted in donating around $200,000 to her organization. It is just wonderful and she is really doing great work. A woman really making a difference in children's lives.

Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Looking forward to Rock Center tonight. Peace to You and to All!

Be Well Everyone!

We watched Speaker Boehner call for a Super Committee and before a decision was made Norquist announced he ordered the 6 GOP members to vote No. That was a waste of time and a trick. Now Boehner is again calling for a committee to waste time and vote No. This is about forcing the President to sign a bill for the unregulated oil pipeline and nothing else. Here how this effects the average American. If you earn 30,000 dollars your return under the payroll tax cut will be 850 dollars. If the GOP doesn't vote on the bill a 30,000 dollar income will owe 560 dollars and this effects those working part time and unemployment income. Some Americans would rather pay the tax to the IRS then get the tax break because President Obama wants it for Americans who need the help.

Brian this is for you and Andrea Mitchell. A World Dictator died and his people lost someone they love rather you agree or disagree. To say the people were faking their emotion would mean we the US lost JFK people in America were faking. Peaches got a call from a friend in South Korea who hopes the new Leader will fine peace with South Korea. We have to learn respect once again as like or dislike Kim Jong Il he was loved. Why would anyone in North Korea even deal with people who show disrespect. The World is watching the USA as a Leader and it's time we start acting like it again. With a new Leader we don't know and a country morning over the lost try a little respect to the people of North Korea and maybe the new Leader will see we are a good and caring America. A NJ Supreme Court Chief Justice once told me every word means something, be very careful what words you use.

have a great evening all

Queen Obama and daughters leave for vacation in Oahu with the King and not a word from the Main stream media. Almost looks like she very much dislikes traveling with him. This is twice in a row now. This first lady costs us the taxpayers a lot of extra money.

#12 - Tue Dec 20, 2011 12:27 AM EST

Great point JustBfair First Lady Laura often traveled without PresidentGeorge and the girls, but I guess that's ok, it's just Obama that seems to be the problem. I didn't hear anyone complain about First Lady Laura traveling to 50 States and 75 countries costing the taxpayers extra money during the 8 years. Now with Speaker Boehner not passing the payroll tax it's 'Obama's job to stay and fight for the American people. Yes Bush saw no problem taking so many vacations even with two Wars and a Recession but Obama well when people don't like him everything is wrong. Now if Obama would just do as the people want and sign the pipeline bill with no regulations and refuse the payroll tax for 167 million Americans he could just go on his vacation.

A person making 30,000 dollars a year will get a refund of 850 dollars with the payroll tax break.

A person making 30,000 dollars a year without the payroll tax break will owe the IRS 560 dollars.

This is the reason the President can't leave for vacation but some Law Makers have already went home because they want to be with their families. Now the real question is if the Congress leaves this mess until next year, what will the President do to protect 167 million Americans who will suffer.

We have been lucky to have some great First Ladies and it's a disgrace to hear so much hate spilled toward First Lady Michele Obama and her children. But respect and manners are practiced anymore and it's an example to the next generation.

#12.1 - Tue Dec 20, 2011 1:44 AM EST

@ justBfair

You should have said Bimbo instead of Queen and that would have been OK. Jackie calls Palin a bimbo all the time. Pretty sure she's even called Palin a whore a couple times.

#12.2 - Tue Dec 20, 2011 1:26 PM EST

Good Evening Mr.Williams, a great Tuesday broadcast on Dec. 20th. Certainly some terrible blizzard conditions in the Plain States. One hopes everyone is now able to dig out from all the snowfall.

The report by Mr.Mohyeldin from Cairo showed some awfully terrible video of attacks on women protestors by the military forces. Seeing the brutal attacks in the video was horrifying and hearing the one woman speak about her attack and treatment showed the military is not going to give up the power in the region while treating women with such brutality. The large protest of women in Tahrir Square proved that society is sending the military a message this will not be accepted. The video being shown all over the world does prove it did happen and something must be done to stop it. It is rare to learn in the report that an apology was stated to the protestors, although that does not solve the problem totally. Things need to improve in the future for woman and all the citizens in the region. Time will tell if the military actually steps down and a civilian government is formed next year.

The weather report by Mr.Seidel showed some extremely hazardous "whiteout" blizzard conditions in the Plain States. It is sad that 4 people were killed in a accident caused by the blizzard. Now the Eastcoast prepares for some rainfall to come around Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Everyone Keep Warm and Safe!

Incredible the massive light decorations at the home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is amazing and must take a huge amount of power!

The update to the "Making A Difference"segment by Chris Jansing about the woman named Rachel O'Neill who started the idea to send handsewn dresses to little girls in a village in Malawi was so inspirational and great to see again. It is so wonderful to learn how many dresses have been sent by women from all 50 States to Rachel O'Neill's organization. Seeing the little girls smile when they put on the pretty dresses is heartwarming. A great idea!

Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

Be Well Everyone!

Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!

Brian, another terrific broadcast last night and about the women protesters and Hilliary Clinton taking

up for them, well, Hilliary is Wonder Woman without the tacky costume, and that's tough for male Egypt

leaders who are slaming her for her "interference". This is 2011!!!! not the Middle Ages. What are

these men thinking? More power to S/S Clinton. Have a nice afternoon!!!! Phyllis
