It is heartbreaking and sad about the brave 11-year-old boy who played dead to survive Syria massacre.
Russia's President Putin is an acknowledged pragmatist; whatever works, etc. Whatever works is
the bottom line and If Russia is unwilling to withdraw support for
Assad, Russia needs to demonstrate how its position can be effective in ending the bloodshed. President
Obama is an acknowledged pragmatist as well, and I would like to be a fly on the wall to hear the
conversation between the two leaders in June at the Summit------no doubt working for us.....whatever
works.
A station on radio free of progressive propaganda and lies pointed out that when Putin walks his right hand doesn't move. It's form his old KGB days where the hand stays close to the gun. I wish we could spot our Soviets here in America so easy. We have to wait until after they crash the system and see who ends up with all the marbles.
You had me at KGB, Dave, but don't go planning his funeral just yet:o)
Smart move by Gov. Rick Scott to bring back the poll tax to make sure Mitt wins Florida. Disfrancising worked for Jeb Bush and it would work for Scott. Many States have to fine a way to reduce the large minority voters as Mitt said he only needs 50.1% and every little bit helps.
Mitt was smart to use his Bain Capital experience as he did a great job for the investors and himself. Now the Mass. citizens wont vote for Mitt. Mass. was 36th ranked in unemployment and Mitt had a plan to increase employment with his Bain experience and he won the election. Well Mitt plan didn't work for the citizens as Mass. became 47th ranked with unemployment. Just think Mitt made things worse and citizens remember. Now Mitt is bringing his same Bain Plan as President and he hopes the 49 other State voters believe his plan might work. So far things look good and people believe the lies. Mitt is a good Dad he paid his son with campaign money long after the campaign was over. What American would love to get paid for doing nothing.
A local Judge and I were laughing at how the Edwards case even came to trial. I was disappointed in the NBC legal team as I'm sure they knew this case was a witch hunt with no legal bases. But to big this up for a sex scandal brought viewers. Bunny Mellon told FBI and said in an interview she gave Edwards the money for personal use. The Federal audit proved no crime as the money was never listed as Campaign money, but all this was known before the grand jury hearing. In 2008 Attorney General Michael Muksey ordered an investigation on Edwards due to Edwards three way race to be nominee for President. Edwards had a strong base in Southern States would and was a popular candidate who put fear in the GOP. Yes Mellon told her story/audit proved there was no crime but the GOP knew Americans/Media love a sex scandal and just went forward. The Judge knew if he allowed the audit as evidence the Public would know this was a witch hunt. Americans still attack Edwards as guilty and his great sin, but the former Governor of California Schwarzenegger who had a child while Governor with his housekeeper and used taxpayers money isn't a crime. So many Law Makers use campaign money for personal use like Senator Marco Rubio. The media once kept President's personal life private as few knew Roosevelt and George HW Bush had long time mistresses during their time in office.
The lies caught up with George Zimmerman and it should show people that lying to a Judge can cost you your freedom. On the day of Zimmerman's hearing George had 200,000 dollars in his paypal for donations and ready for George to use. I was shocked to hear Judge Zimmerman lie under oath on the question of money when he knew his son had the money.
Hi Brian
We have a famous guest today in Riverside California who is looking for large donations to his campaign. Mitt Romney is at a country club. today's news on the stock market drop and the law recovery of jobs is going big here. Riverside has an unemployment rate of 12.9% and if Mitt's plan in Mass. is given to Riverside we will be at 22.9%. A few people spoke up about how Congress votes/passes bills for the President to side and how in 2010 and 2011 Obama's request for Jobs Bill was denied by Congress. The GOP was honest when they said they would do nothing to help recover the US Economy to assure Obama/USA fail. Mitt and the GOP are cheering this bad report and it seems Americans who are suffering don't matter. Mitt did talk about Solyndra but he lied as the guarantee multi-year government loan was signed in 2007 and sorry Obama wasn't President in 2007 but many people believe he was if Mitt says it's so. Mitt isn't staying long just here to collect as much as possible because many citizens lost alot from 2001 and hit hard in the Recession in 2008.
Good Evening Mr.Holt, a fine Friday broadcast this evening as always. Nice to see you filling on for Mr.Williams tonight and always enjoy your Nightly News broadcasts on the weekend. Also , Weekend Today! You do a great job!
First of all the report by Mr.Mathisen about the jobs numbers which were disappointing. The rate of unemployment being still around 8% for the 40th month in a row. Some areas of business have added jobs such as healthcare, transportation and manufacturing, yet other areas have not including housing and construction. This downfall in housing causes other trades to decrease with regards to electricians and plumbers. One hopes things will take a turn for the better, but the rate is not fast enough. Time will tell.
The report by Mr.Almaguer about the wildfires showed that New Mexico has an out of control fire that has comsumed over 200,000 acres over 340 square miles. It is staggering this is the biggest in the State's history and poses such a threat to populated areas. Hospital patients are definitely at risk and one hopes the fires can be contained soon. The brave firefighters battling the flames in tough terrain and high temperatures are truly doing a great job. But it is a difficult job and one hopes they can gain the upper hand.
The report by Mr.Bazell concerning the fight against cancer showed how new developments in medicine which provides fewer side effects is certainly encouraging news. It would be remarkable if the new treatment would be good for all types of cancer.
The piece by Stephanie Gosk from London about the Diamond Jubilee Celebration for Queen Elizabeth showed how this is going to be a huge and lavish four day celebration. After serving 60yrs on the throne only second to Queen Victoria it is an incredible length of service to a country. Seeing all the preparations was wonderful and all the events planned will be great for the whole Royal Family along with the people of Britain. A great celebration.
Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Holt. Have a wonderful weekend! See you on Today and Nightly News this weekend! Peace to You and to All!
Be Well Everyone!
Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!
Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!
