The White House on Trump - Election 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports " Donald Trump owes veterans an apology for suggesting American prisoners-of-war may not qualify as heroes, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Monday. "

Lets Get Real:

The Republicans will pay a political cost if they allow Mr Trump to say these wrong headed remarks, the Party needs to Unite in opposition to Trump, the Democrats are the only winners in such a messy debate about War and what is a hero.   The Republicans need another Gipper or very close to him, this blog has argued that Jeb Bush is the ideal candidate to the be the Republican nominee, a conservative at the centre of US political thought.   One would wish Mr Trump would go back to being a TV host and a very, very rich builder of buildings with Trump on the outside.   Politics is not for someone who had never paid his dues in the political process. 

A family Divided - The Miliband Brothers Saga

Telegraph: Reports " Ed Miliband 'not invited' to brother David's 50th birthday party..

Former Labour leader spotted at the cricket during his brother's party after their rival leadership bids caused family tensions "

Lets Get Real:

In politics if you lose there is no forgiveness even from family, the only way that Ed Miliband could have made up with brother was to offer him a Cabinet position if he had won the election in May.   It is said that David Miliband was the best leader Labour never had, this could be true and we might never know for sure, of course Miliband senior could return to the House of Commons later on in the election cycle.   It would be ironic if David Miliband becomes Leader and then Prime Minister, if that happens Ed should not expect a call, something things you have to pay for in politics, stabbing your brother in the back is one of them. 

McCain vs. Trump, Who is a hero? - Vietnam War

Guardian: Reports on the Trump and McCain row, " McCain’s time in captivity merits respect, regardless of anyone’s feelings about the Vietnam war or McCain as a politician. The son of an admiral, McCain refused a proffered early release, knowing he would be in for even more torture. "

Lets Get Real:

Senator McCain is a war hero and if Mr Trump get anywhere the Republican nomination this blog will support Hillary Clinton for the Presidency, how any Republican can support Mr Trump is MAD, the Trump comments on McCain show that he is not fit to be President. This blog just wants another Gipper, is that asking to much of the Republican Party. 

UK Government Defends Syrian Position - Daesh Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has rejected claims MPs have been "kept in the dark" about the involvement of British pilots in airstrikes in Syria. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog could care less if the feelings of backbench MPs are hurt that they were not informed that British pilots joined their allies in attacks on Daesh, the threat from Daesh in Syria and Iraq is only growing, the West has to attack the threat from its source otherwise Daesh will become another Al Qaeda, the West does not want another 9/11 or 7/7 or recent attacks on Westerns on holiday in Tunisia.    Thus time for House of Commons to grow up and listen to the PM and his Cabinet.
