The US Supreme Court and Brett Kavanaugh - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

The Confirmation of  US Supreme Court Judge in the US has become a secular blood sport, either side trying to block a Judge if they think he or she is to Conservative or Liberal.  The process started in the late 1980s when Democrats blocked a Reagan appointment to the High Court, since then it has become a trench warfare, this is time it is a Conservative Judge under the hammer.   It can be expected that the Democrats will try to paint the candidate as  a racist, anti woman, you name it and they will try to throw mud.   The American people voted for Trump and they wanted a Conservative Judge, thus the will of the US voter must be respected. 

The Woodward Book - Part 2 - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

There are always critical books on Presidents during their terms, even the great Reagan had a few at the end of his term, the trick is to show success on the domestic and international front.  The US economy under Trump is blazing away, on the international front the US is talking to North Korea, even through it can be argued that North Korea has conned the Trump Oval, as it has done with past Presidents.   On Iran the US has increased sanctions, we shall see what develops from this move, on trade the Trump Oval has done a deal with Mexico, Canada is still in discussions.  It would be foolish to write off Trump yet, politics is an art not a science. 

Brexit Latest - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

As noted in this blog, the home for the hard Remainers is BBC News, Sky News and the Guardian, they will try to undermine any attempt for the UK to leave the EU.   As the Holiday season has come to an end the hard Brexit supporters have to come out of their fox holes and carry the fight on to social media.   Throughout August the hard Remainers have had the field, it is time for the Hard Remainers as in the shape of Boris Johnson came out and carried the fight to the House of Commons and to the press as he has already started. 

The Press Establishment vs. Trump - Woodward vs Trump - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

As the articles notes, Woodward is part of the press Establishment, has produce books on every administration since Nixon.  The liberal press will love the book, it sounds very negative on Trump.   One finds it hard to defend Trump, all the negatives and his debasing of the Presidency, make him unfit to be POTUS.   One can only hope that Democrats take over the House in November and push to impeach Trump, the US would be better off and so would the World.
