Trump and Taxes - Update

Lets Get Real:

The Clinton Campaign should be on Trump's taxes night and day, every other candidate in the modern era has released their taxes, why should the Donald be different, the elite press needs to go after his business dealings and those business with the Trump name that have gone belly up should be looked at, in great detail, the press would make a mistake to think that HRC has the Oval in her bag, she has not, she is VERY bad candidate, thus the press must do the job for her, in doing so it would be doing itself and the West a favour. 

Trump and the Press


Lets Get Real:

The liberal press media are OUT to get Trump, and for once they have the right target, the bully, racist candidate is NOT FIT to be President, his foreign policy would be a disaster, he wants to weaken NATO and have better terms with President Putin of Russia.   What ever the long and they are long faults of HRC she wants the US to lead, she is more of a hawk than President Obama, after the dovish years of the Obama era we need a tough President. 

The EU Vote - Update


Lets Get Real:

Thus the political elite have gotten their knickers in a twist over two polls, this is the prediction from this blog, the UK will remain in the EU, the margin of victory will be between 4% to 5%.  Let's be honest if the British had a vote as to IF the Romans should leave after the invasion of AD 43 they would have after a few hundred years voted to remain.   The British do not like to change, sometimes they have to be kicked in to change, thus the great role of Winston Churchill in getting the GB to fight Nazi Germany.   This blog does not like to be wrong.  This blog will be voting OUT, as it thinks its late father would have voted No again as he did in the 1970s. 


Update Falluja - Update


Lets Get Real:

As noted by this blog and others the Allied attack on Falluja would be costly, the Daesh terrorist group is not going to give up without a fight.   Thus can hope that US and UK Special Forces are on hand to give advice to their Iraqi friends.  The hard part might not be getting in to the City, the hard part might be the IEDs left by Daesh and the humans taken as hostages.   It going to be a bloody slog, hard and violent, the Daesh terrorist group has to be buried.

Trump vs. Sanders, the Debate of the Century


Lets Get Real:

IF this debate happens it could be the debate of the early part of the 21 Century, it would be interesting to see a extreme left winger, well a communist you could almost say up against a New York billionaire.     The HRC Camp must be fuming, Sanders and Trump would take press away from HRC, and she needs to pivot to the general election.   In political terms the debate does not matter, Trump is the Republican nominee and Sanders is going to lose to Clinton to become the Democratic nominee.   The fun would be the debate itself, it would be the DEBATE to see and bee seen there.    Only is the US could this happen and in 2016.

US Forces in Syria - Update


Lets Get Real:

The background noise from experts is that it will take more US and allied troops to get rid of Daesh, but the limited use of forces with drones has been successful for President Obama. The Daesh terrorist group has been pushed back in Iraq and Syria, the main battle in Syria will be for the city of Raqqa the Capital for Daesh.   In the house to house fighting there will many deaths, lets hope the US special forces have enough troops on the ground to win.  In Iraq the main fight will be for Mosul, that will also be bloody, one hopes are with the Western and allied forces doing the fighting. 


Battle for Falluja - Update


The Iraqi, Kurds and US Forces have to clear up the mistake of President Obama when he left Iraq in 2011 without leaving forces behind to deal with forces such as Daesh.    The fight for Falluja will be bloody, one can only hope that IF Western forces are in actin that they do not suffer any deaths, the rise of Daesh can be lead to the Oval Office, POTUS thought he knew best in 2011 and the people of the Middle East and Eastern Europe have being paying the price since.

Clinton Email Scandal Part 2 - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

The Clinton Camp should just say SORRY, do not try to spin it, it makes it look worse, just say that HRC is sorry and that it has not be shown that her email server was hacked by any one.   The Trump Camp and the Republicans will go after her on this issue, there will be a few news cycles then the issue will become a bore, the US voter wants real change, that means the Clintons should stress the economy of the 1990s and how it could be the same in a HRC first term.

Clinton Email Scandal - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

Thus the Clinton Campaign has taken a arrow today from the Obama Administration, it will hurt but should NOT STOP the campaign, the outstanding worry is the FBI Investigation of the Clinton email server, it depends if they find any breach by foreign governments, such as China, North Korea or Iran.  IF no breach then its a swift win of the nomination and the Oval Office. Spinning for the Clintons is different, very odd feeling.

How to deal with Trump and the sexual assault claims against Bill Clinton

Guardian: Reports on the new Trump Advert against Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Lets Get Real:

The Clintons should wait before striking back, first go for the business failures of Trump, then when it debate go for the his issues with women.   The Clinton Camp should stress the economic record of the 1990s and how Clinton Administration had a good record when it came to international affairs. The negative tones should come from the campaign staff, one feels after the allegations that one needs a shower, to get rid of the gutter nature of the claims.   The Clintons can fight back, and thus should win in November. 

US Dirty Politics - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

Thus the 2016 Presidential Election is getting in to the gutter from the start.   The Clintons are looking at the Donald's business record as they should, while the Trump is hitting Bill and Hillary Clintons with the scandals from the 1990s.   One could have hoped to have a high level discussion on the political issues, like hell, if its the gutter now, what will it be like in November?   An election is based on the future, lets see which candidate can place a political manifesto in front of the US voter that is liked, because neither candidates are liked or trusted, it could be 1968 all over again on the Democratic side, the Sanders supporters will feel that they were robbed, it promises to be a hot convention for the Democrats.

Falluja AND Daesh - Daesh Threat


Lets Get Real:

When the US fought in Falluja it was hard and bitter fight, thus the new Iraq forces can expect a tough and bloody fight, it will be door to door, street to street fighting with IED's thrown in ALL over the place.  One can only hope that US and UK Special Forces can help in a quick victory with, also the Iraqi Forces will have Allied air cover.   The influence of Daesh is getting limited in Syria and Iraq, thus their move to create terror in the West and in other African failed States.   The BATTLE FOR MOSUL will decide the fate of Daesh is Iraq.

Trump to VISIT London - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

One would guess that the Foreign Office is behind this move, they want to make sure that should Trump win that there is still a special relationship, this is why the FCO is not trusted by No 10.   10 Downing Street should have been firm with the FCO, that Trump is neither liked or wanted, HRC would be a different story, at least she supports NATO and the US leading from the front.   One can only hope that HRC becomes a better candidate or she could lose to Trump, then it would really be time to buy a 2nd hand nuclear bunker.

The Democratic Civil War - The Bern will NOT STOP!


Lets Get Real:

It was thought that the Republican Convention would be contested and ALL the fun was on the Republicans, now the liberal elite is starting to feel that the chances of HRC winning are under threat from Sanders and that his supporters  could cause problems in their Convention.   The liberal elite has to be careful it does not make active enemies of Sanders supporters, it has been trailed that HRC has a problem with the YOUTH vote, well that vote could go to Trump or stay at home in November, nothing is a given, HRC is not Bill, she is not that great a candidate.   The Democrats have to be careful when throwing Sanders out it he does not take his supporters with him, it could happen. 

Republicans on Hillary and Bill Clinton - Election 2016




Lets Get Real:

The Republicans can fight fire with fire, the Super Pacs and the Clinton Campaign has to be careful that it starts a WAR it can not win, there are so many scandals with the Clintons, that when campaigns start to throw stones they should be careful that those stones do not come back and hit your glass house.    The Clinton Campaign thinks Sanders has been rough, wait in till the Republicans and Donald Trump start on the real fight, a good campaign should not give ground to the other side, the election should be about policy, one doubts that will come up.

Trump on North Korea - Asia Threat


Lets Get Real:

Thus even President Obama could not get a deal with North Korea, so what would South Korea, Japan make of this suggestion by Trump, they would be worried that they would be sold out, as Obama sold out US allies in the Middle East.   The more Trump speaks the more worried US allies should be, he wants to return the US back to its 1920s and 30s isolation policy, after Woodrow Wilson and his failure to get the the US Senate to back an active role for the US in World affairs the US returned inward, well with Afghanistan and Iraq/Syria Wars still going on the US voter feels that his/her Country are in endless Wars, while the US is in trillion of debt and this hurts the Middle Class.   That is why HRC has to win, she is a hawk, after the appeaser Obama we need someone who actually will fight for Western/US interests and security.

Clinton Super Pac on Trump - Election 2016




Lets Get Real:

The Clinton Pacs and the Clinton Campaign has to be careful that it does not make HRC the Woman's Presidential Candidate, HRC is already losing with men, she does not need the impression that its a sex war between men and women.  Also how does the HRC campaign argue its point when it is losing the youth vote to an old white man, in this case Sanders, it could be Trump next.  The Clinton Camp needs to get its ACT together or it could lose.

The Ghost of Iraq and Tony Blair - Iraq War Results

Telegraph: Report " The Chilcot report will reveal Tony Blair made a secret deal with George W Bush to support the Iraq War, Jeremy Corbyn has claimed. "

Lets Get Real:

The ghost of IRAQ will haunt Tony Blair in till the end of his days, his reputation  has been hurt by the results of the Iraq War and his business dealings after leaving No 10.  The Labour Party will only win elections against when it learns to put Iraq behind it and loves New Labour again, that was a political machine that knew how how to win elections.   The Labour Party under Corbyn is going nowhere fast, it is heading for election defeat in 2020.

Will the Donald come to the UK ?- Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

No 10 should not listen to the FCO, the feelings of the PM have been made clear, any meeting would be seen as pure PR, and its not in the interest of the UK for the Donald to become POTUS.   The UK Government should make it CLEAR that the Donald should not come to the UK, if he wins the Presidency then we are talking about something different, the UK would have to kiss the Trump backside, but least people would understand.   The British Government should not give any PR to the Trump, he runs his own show quite well, and does not need UK help. 

The Underground Civil War in the Democratic Party - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

It is the unanswered of 2016, will Sanders supporters seeing a stich up for HRC then vote for her in the general election, as Trump has moved to the left on TAXES by stating that the rich should pay more taxes it could gain support from Sanders supporters, those without a College Degree and with no real job prospects.   It would be interesting if 2016 Democratic convention followed the violence of the 1968 convention.   The Oval Office SHOULD be easy for HRC to take, but one's political gut is saying it is going to be ugly and more complicated than that, we really could have a President Trump!

Trump on David Cameron - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

One has to be proud of PM David Cameron for standing up to Donald Trump and his views on race and religion.    The PM should be firm and tell the US voter that Trump is not welcomed in the UK, if elected the UK will of course be diplomatic but will not be slow to tell an old friend and ally were its going wrong.   That Trump is the Republican nominee shows how divisive the Obama Presidency has been, it has not bought the US together, in fact it has pushed it further apart, that is the failure of POTUS.

Hillary Clinton on Trump's Taxes - Election 2016




Lets Get Real:

One has to wonder that the Donald is hiding in his TAXES, how much tax does he pay, high or low Mr Trump.    The HRC campaign  is good when it goes for real issues, and how much tax you pay is a real issue.  Let's see what the Donald says, if anything!!

Missile Shield for Eastern Europe - New Cold War 2


Lets Get Real:

The Russians have already started to be critical of the move, expect more chatter from Moscow about the shield, since Reagan's SDI the Russian Bear has been worried that US technology and its ability to take down Russian missiles.  The Russian bear has caused this problem with its actions in Crimea and East Ukraine, the Eastern Europeans do not trust Putin to try something in the Baltics or Eastern Europe. Putin's Russia is a threat to Western security and has to be checked. 

The Attack on Mosul - Daesh Threat


Lets Get Real:

At least it will be Iraqi and Kurdish forces doing the fighting, the UK training forces will not be at the front, one would assume that the SAS has protection against any chemical attack. The one good luck the West and its allies have is the fact that Daesh has no nuclear material, that would make it a great threat.   Let's hope MI6 and the CIA are blocking Daesh on the military black market, and that the Putin regime has control of its nuclear material.  The fight for Mosul will be bloody and it will take time, the West will need to train the Iraqi Army for years.

Clinton and Trump Tied in poll - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

The HRC Campaign has to get itself in to shape to fight the general election, it needs to get Sanders out of the race, at present HRC is getting hit from both sides, with Sanders attacking from the left and Trump from the right.    The HRC campaign needs to be in the middle of US politics, it has to get moderate and young voters to have another look at Hillary Clinton, yes she is not perfect, almost a bad pol, but at least her heart is in the right place, and she supports NATO and is more of a hawk when it comes to foreign policy.   The Dems need to focus on the general election, not their present internal fight. 

Romney on Donald Trump's Tax returns - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

One has to wonder what is in the Trump taxes that Trump wants to keep secret, the fact that its Governor Romney making the attack does not help, in 2012 Romney lost big to President Obama.    The press should place pressure on the Donald to release his taxes, this has been done for decades by Presidential candidates.   The press should ask Mr Trump what he has to hide in his taxes, the elite liberal press should make this an issue every day, every time the Donald does an interview he should be asked, and asked again. IF HRC can release her returns then so can the Donald. 

Trump on Muslims Coming to the US - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

The IDEA that you could ban Muslims from coming to the US is against US law and international law, it represents the worst aspects of the far right.  The fact that Trump is moving away from that shows that he does understand, he is not thick, he is a billionaire as he keeps telling everyone who will listen.   The HRC campaign have to use Trump's racist remarks against him, the US voter has its flaws, but on the whole they a small L liberals, they believe in the LAW, a Trump Administration would be a disaster for the US.

The REAL Americans - KGB Era and Putin



Lets Get Real:

This is an article you should read, the actual events are a few years old now, but it was shocking at the time, Russian Spies living the US dream.  It helped in the development of the The Americans spy show about Russians living as every day citizens.   The article and the TV series does make you wonder about the morality of the SPY parents, in less Moscow told them to have children it was their choice, and they get shipped back to Russia, while the kids are in LIMBO, the parents should have thought on how it would end, the CIA, NSA are not stupid, the idea that you can spend years as a intelligent operative working in the West and not expect to get caught shows a lack of thinking.   As to the fate of the kids it does seem harsh to remove their passports and their rights, on the other hand it was their parents that created this mess, one would think that the parents should feel very guilty at their choices. 





Trump and Taxes - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

The above shows that Trump is not a REAL Republican and a Conservative.   The Republican Party since the time of Reagan has been about tax cuts, as it has been shown that tax cuts help the economy, and tax cuts for the rich help those on a lower scale.   The Trump Campaign is nicking the policy aims of the Sanders Campaign and liberal Democrats.  It might just be a good idea to run a Conservative candidate against Trump and Hillary Clinton.

When will the Corbyn nightmare END - Corbyn Era


Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party has to learn to LOVE Tony Blair again, that is the only way it can win a election, it must get rid of Corbyn and his fellow travellers on the left and return the Labour Party to the middle of UK politics.  There needs to be a coup against Corbyn, a new leader needs time to bed in, the more that Labour waits the harder it will be to get rid of Corbyn, that was the mistake with Brown and Miliband, in election cycles Party loyalty does not matter, it is about winning.

Bush 43 and Looking Back - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

It said that a US President always looks good after his successors, it seems that the Guardian has come to this truth, let's be clear they see Bush 43 in the above light after Trump become the Republican Nominee.   What the Guardian fails to see that the success of Trump is DOWN to the Presidency of Obama, the political sides have become more extreme, just look at the success of Senator Sanders, he is trying to push HRC to the extreme left, this could hurt her in the general election.    The Obama of 2004 of bringing the sides together went away once he was in the Oval Office, he want left, as was shown with his agenda of ObamaCare and not taking the War on Terror as a serious event, the Obama ego was out of control.   This blog is ONLY supporting HRC because it could never see the Gipper supporting Trump. 

The Labour Party Destroyed in Scotland - Corbyn Era

Lets Get Real:

The Regional and Council Elections showed that Labour has a long road to travel by 2020.  In Scotland the SNP won a good victory, but did not win a majority, while in Wales Labour was kept in power but without an overall majority.   In the Council elections Labour did not lose as much as they expected, while London has a new Labour Mayor.  The Corbyn Era has showed that without taking Scotland back it can not win the 2020 general election, this does mean the Conservatives have it easy, that would be a mistake, the Conservatives have to plan for a tough election in 2020, one would assume that Labour will have changed it leader by then, the Party does not want to lose a third general election in a row. 



Jeb Bush on Trump - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

This after the Primary fight it is a surprise, one would have thought that Jeb Bush would have been on the Trump short list for VP.   One can see why Jeb Bush has done this, Trump was less than flattering of Jeb Bush and has been critical of Bush 43 when it comes to Iraq.   The Republican Establishment, the elite leaders can see themselves doing deals with Hillary Clinton, while Trump is a unknown, has has never been elected Office and his game book would be different from theirs.   One does wonder will Senator Rubio now be considered for the VP spot on a Trump ticket.

Cruz on Trump - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

One can now see why in a recent poll Francis Underwood of House of Cards was more popular than any of the real candidates for President.  This election 2016 has gone off the cliff, it says something that how ever the negatives for HRC are she is still the better candidate for President.   Just think voters if ITS President Trump, he could be a disaster, he wants to reset the relationship with Russia, break the leadership of US has in NATO, does not want to fight foolish wars, American interests first, these look perfect if your working in the Kremlin, it would give you leadership of Eastern Europe, the Daesh terror group could out last Trump, all the others threats as North Korea and Iran would come out of the woodwork.   Thus the US has to say NO to Trump.

US Navy Seal killed in Iraq - Daesh War


Lets Get Real:

Thus Obama's holding action has cost the life another US Soldier, the US needs to send hundreds of Special Forces in to Iraq, the city of Mosul can not be taken without a heavy US presence.    The Obama idea of holding the line in till he is no longer President will fall apart in Mosul, the Daesh terrorist group has had the time to create hundreds if not thousands of IED's in  Mosul, it will US technology and history of past action to take Mosul without losing hundreds  of US  Soldiers and US allied forces.   The Obama Oval is trying to hold the line, but that line faces pressure from Daesh, lets hope more US forces are sent to Iraq and Syria.

Trump on Cruz and the JFK Assassination - Election 2016


Lets Get Real:

The Election of 2016 is getting more like the old Twilight Zone every day, now the JFK assassination is part of the mix.   One can only hope  Senator Sanders ends his fight for the nomination and that HRC can start to think about the general election.  Let's recall the Donald is very RICH, he can fund his own campaign, thus HRC has to raise a lot of cash and fast otherwise Trump will buy the Presidency.   The US founding fathers must be turning in their graves, what has happened to the US.   One has to blame the Obama Presidency for this mess.

Labour Anti Jewish Problem - Corbyn Era


Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party can only improve its image if it throws out those that have been critical of Jews and Israel, that goes for its suspended MP, the former Mayor of London and others who cross the line.   Let's be clear YOU can be critical of the policy decisions of ISRAELI Government but you can not fall in to hate speech, removing Israel or saying that Israeli Government is like Hitler's is HATE SPEECH and anti Jewish and Israel.   There needs to be a clean sweep within Labour, the first for the boot should be Jeremy Corbyn and his like, the Labour Party needs a moderate leader in the Blair model.
