The time for the United Nations to be abolished is long overdue. It is now an annual billion dollar money-draining ineffective international institution.

Re: Media's Anti-Trump Bias Obvious in Second Presidential Debate

ghoochie — Tue, 11 Oct 2016 20:20:04 -0000

It's unfortunate that both Cooper and Raddatz were biased against Donald Trump in the second presidential debate. This after the first debate moderator was also biased against Donald Trump.

This bias indicates that debate moderators tend to be supporting the Democrat candidate, Hillary Clinton.

To end this unfair discriminatory bias by debate moderators, I suggest that there be two debate moderators -- one Democrat and one Republican -- with each taking a turn to ask either candidate whatever he or she wants to ask.

This process will end the current bias by moderators, which is clearly indicated in their biased questioning!

Re: Discussion of: 5 Takes on the Clinton-Trump Showdown

ghoochie — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 18:06:53 -0000

This not a case of whining. It is stating a fact. You must be blind to fail to see that Lester Holt showed prejudice against Trump with his unreasonable questions, while at the same time questioning Clinton like a "baby doll." NBC must be desperate -- or perhaps it is pro-Democrat -- to use Holt as the moderator of the debate, since it is obvious that he just wasn't fair by being impartial and objective in his questioning of the two presidential candidates. Holt must never be used as a moderator of a presidential debate again!

Re: 1st Debate: Clinton-Holt Tag Team vs. Trump

ghoochie — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 17:15:42 -0000

Lester Holt was unfair in moderating the first Clinton-Trump debate, as he showed much prejudice against Trump when he questioned the two presidential candidates. Why Holt was chosen to moderate the debate, I cannot understand. I believe he should never moderate another presidential debate as long as he lives!

Lester Holt was not a fair moderator as he clearly favored Clinton in the first Clinton-Trump debate. He asked Trump several "tough questions" but didn't ask Clinton any. He should have asked her about her compromised top secret emails and her lying to Congress while under oath.

Holt must not be allowed to moderate any future debates, since he shows a need to favor the Democrats!

Lester Holt was not objective -- as a moderator must be -- in the first Clinton-Trump debate, but clearly favored Clinton by asking Trump several "tough questions" but not asking Clinton any.

I believe another moderator must be used in future debates!

Re: Five Times Lester Holt Shilled for Hillary Clinton at First Debate

ghoochie — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 12:51:24 -0000

Lester Holt was not an objective moderator but clearly favored Clinton over Trump in their first debate. The fact that he asked Trump many "tough questions" but refused to ask Clinton any (for example, her compromising of classified emails and her lying to congress under oath) clearly illustrates a prejudice against Trump, which is a disgrace to freedom of the press.

Re: Muslims surpass atheists as most unpopular group in US

ghoochie — Thu, 15 Sep 2016 23:40:11 -0000

I am surprised that the study's authors are now focusing on identifying reasons for the jump in disapproval of Muslims in the United States.
There is only one major reason for this trend; namely, that over 90 percent of the terrorist attacks that have occurred in the United States since September 11, 2001 have been committed by Muslims. Consequently, many Americans now view Muslims with an air of hostility.

Re: Harvard Sexual Conduct Survey Released

The Harvard administration needs to take firmer punitive action against students who commit sexual assault. This action should include expelling students who commit sexual assault.

If a Jewish Orthodox woman wants to take sexy photos of herself for her husband's enjoyment, that is her business and her husband's. There is nothing sacrilegious in the Jewish Orthodox tradition about this activity, provided that the woman's photos are seen only by herself and her husband.

Re: Obama and Co. Middle East Policies Aiding Genocide of Christians

ghoochie — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 20:03:23 -0000

The United States needs to take a more aggressive roll against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and other extremist Muslims in the Middle East, in order to put an end to the continuous loss of Christians in the region.

The United States and allied airstrikes against ISIS are not enough to end this problem. Airstrikes have been going on for a year now, and they have not weakened ISIS one iota.

What the U.S. and its allies need to do is use tanks, artillery, rockets, and other heavy weapons against ISIS to destroy it once and for all. Then -- and only then -- will we see an end to the barbaric killings of innocent Christians in Iraq, Syria, and other extremist Islamic countries whose primary goal is indeed to end Christianity and to replace it with Islam.

Re: Candy Crowley Self-Destructs

ghoochie — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:14:21 -0000

I would have to say that Candy Crowley was not objective -- as a moderator of a presidential debate must be -- but showed favoritism toward President Obama by her action.
By doing so, she has violated the professional code of ethics for moderators. CNN -- disgraced by Crowley's discrimination -- should end her role of being seen on TV, or it can blame itself for losing millions of upset viewers.

Re: Obama and Romney Want the Moderator to Keep Quiet at the Next Debate

ghoochie — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 13:52:33 -0000

Candy Crowley was entirely incorrect in trying to correct President Obama and Governor Romney in the second presidential debate. A moderator must ignore any mistake a presidential candidate has made, and stick to his or her job -- moderating. It's just not the job of a moderator to "stick her two cents" in a presidential debate, since it is imperative that she is objective and fair.

Some Romney supporters are saying Crowley's action was a setup. CNN should fire her -- otherwise CNN will lose much credibility and many viewers as an objective news station -- for her unprofessional conduct. Also, she should never be allowed to moderate a presidential debate again.

I remember when Petula Clark made the song "Downtown" popular in the mid-1960s. The tune has a loud but harmonious beat to it, and the lyrics help people to eliminate their loneliness by going downtown where there are many stores and people.

Re: Saudi Woman Sentenced with 10 Lashes for Driving - Global - The Atlantic Wire

ghoochie — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 14:31:36 -0000

It is sad that a court in Saudi Arabia -- in this day and age -- has sentenced a woman with 10 lashes for driving a motor vehicle, because women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia.

A more civilized type of fine -- such as a monetary fine or even a day in jail -- would have been less barbaric and degrading than such a whipping.

If the cable and satellite TV rates were lower -- as they should be -- pay TV would have an increase in their subscribers, instead of a huge decrease.

It's too bad that Harvard alumnus David Wu had to resign his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, because he had unwanted sexual relations with an 18-year-old girl.Being a married man and a father, Wu should have known better than to have been so intimate with a young girl.

Re: Christian women in Egypt being converted to Islam by force, Witness Says

The United States should make it clear to the Egyptian government that American foreign aid to Egypt will end if Egyptian kidnapping and raping of innocent Christian women continues. The United Nations should also inform Egypt that it will impose sanctions against Egypt if these atrocities continue.

Jane Fonda's visit to North Vietnam in 1972 -- during the height of the Vietnam War -- will never be forgotten by American patriots. Indeed, Jane Fonda will be viewed as a traitor for her entire life by extremist American nationalist groups.

Re: America's biggest teacher and principal cheating scandal unfolds in Atlanta - CSMonitor.com

ghoochie — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 22:09:24 -0000

The principals and teachers in Atlanta, Georgia, who changed students' standardized test scores to make themselves look good and receive more money, should be fired, because these "educators" are setting a bad example for students. It is bad enough when students cheat, but when principals and teachers cheat, there must be zero tolerance. They must be fired.

To avoid this kind of cheating in the future, all 50 U.S. states should employ -- as an integral part of their board of education -- auditors and watchdogs who keep a close eye on standardized test results. Hopefully, this kind of state education staff will avoid cheating by principals and teachers on standardized tests -- or at least detect it quickly -- in the future.
