Donald Trump for President ?

The Hill: A call from a Democrat for Donald Trump to run for the Republican nomination. Of course the view among Democrats is that Mr Trump would be great for President Obama, in a race between Obama and Trump it is postulated by Democrats that Obama would win hands down. Lets recall Democrats in 1980 wanted Ronald Reagan to win the Republican nomination, the great Democratic Speaker Tip O' Neill was one of those Democrats, they thought Reagan would be easy to beat, big mistake. There is an old saying, be careful what you wish for, lets recall Mr Trump is very rich, POTUS is expected to raise one billion dollars for his re-election campaign, it can be postulated that Mr Trump could double that with a phone call, yes he’s that rich. One of the reasons that Mr Trump is high in Republican polls is his doubts about where POTUS was born, but this just might be a way to win the Republican nomination, then move to the centre, so careful Democrats what you wish for, if Oval don’t be to critical of DT, if you annoy him to much he just might run in 2012.

Unrest in Syria

The New York Times: Reports on the still growing unrest in Syria and the funding by the US Government of those opposed to the Syrian Regime. The Syrian protesters should not expect actual help from the Obama Administration, so far some critical press statements from the White House but that’s it, the Oval after Libya can not afford any more military adventures, the liberal left wing of the Democratic Party would revolt if POTUS helped the protesters in Syria. The extreme left wing of the Democratic Party is so anti war that it would rather see innocent bystanders die than for the US to save them, they are very narrow minded, all they want do is spend money on the creation of a welfare state, even if the US is broke. Thus poor Syrian people your on your own as far as the Oval is concerned.

EU Military Force for Misrata ?

Guardian: Reports that EU is awaiting the nod from the UN to send in a thousand troops in to Misrata with humanitarian Aid. Not holding my breath folks, the UN Security Council will not pass another resolution that allows troops in to Libya, the Russians for a start have been critical of NATO strikes, thus one can postulate that they would Veto any such new resolution. At the end of the day the EU is not a military forces what ever France wants, this seems another French attempt to push the US out of the military leadership of the West. At the end of the day, either the UK and France will have to take military action or Misrata will be retaken by Colonel Gaddafi.

The End of Empires

BBC News: Reports that the US Government has been told by Standard & Poor's a Credit Agency that its credit rating could be cut. Here it is folks, the end of a political and economic Empire, the US in many respects is following the path of the Roman and British Empire, it is going broke, the Roman Empire devalued the its coin as the years went by, the British Empire was broke after World War Two, thus time wise the rabid end of Empire, the UK was out of India in 1947, the Empire become the Commonwealth by the 1960s. The last throw of Empire was the failed UK and French attempt to retake Suez in 1956. The US liberals from the New Deal onwards have tried to make the US like Western Europe, a welfare state, the problem is simple folks, the US is to big, the debt is to much , fourteen trillion not something you can hide under the carpet. The Obama Administration on the domestic front has been a disaster, its economic stimulus failed to create jobs, those that argue that it protected Government jobs in the States are missing the point, its the private sector that creates jobs, makes the economy grow. ObamaCare is an attempt to create a NHS in the US, the problem is that the advances in health allow people to live longer and save people that would have died in previous times, its costs folks, you cant think if you force people to buy health cover that this will reduce costs, it wont, the NHS in the UK has grown and grown, the costs have never gone down. The next economic Empire will be China, lets hope they learn the lessons of the British and US Empires, 1) You cant have a welfare state that has no end, 2) Don’t get in to Wars or Empires that never end, 3) Be tough on the banks, 4) Always save for a bad day, it will come. Good luck China.
