What happens behind the OVAL OFFICE Door - Iran Crisis - Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports in its 9.23pm post the following,  " Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is "a triangulator" between President Trump and national security adviser John Bolton on the topic of Iran, a senior diplomatic source of a US ally told CNN....A senior White House official told CNN that there is a Bolton v. Trump debate on how to proceed on Iran, and Trump definitely does not want conflict. The source said Pompeo, Vice President Mike Pence and incoming acting Secretary of Defense Mark Esper are the “swing votes.”  "

Lets Get Real:

The FACT that the US has not acted on the US Drone getting shot down shows a WEAK President, the Tehran Regime has shot down a 110 million drone, not money you find behind the sofa.  One has only to look at how the Reagan Oval dealt with such issues in 1987/88, they took action, and let's recall Bush 41 went on to win the 1988 Presidential Election even after Iran - Contra, due to the popularity of the Gipper, it was seen as his third term.  If the Trump White House does not act, then Democrats can show that they are strong on defence, that never happens!! Also let's also remember that as Citizen Trump, POTUS opposed the Reagan policy when it came to defending the Tankers in the persian Gulf.  A weak President will be a rollover for Iran and North Korea, the US might have elected a DOVE( that is being nice ) to the White House.  JFK and Reagan looking down must be horrified. 

Biden's FOOT IN MOUTH when it comes to Race Relations - Election 2020

Daily Mail: Reports " 'Apologize for WHAT? I haven't a racist bone in my body.' Joe Biden slams Cory Booker for demanding he say sorry for praising segregationists notorious for using the n-word  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks you see why VP Biden has a foot in mouth problem, these days in the Democratic Party you have to HATE the Republicans, it's not like LBJ having fierce battle with Republicans in the Morning, and in his view calling him everything under the SUN, then having a drink together in the Evening to get a DEAL on his Agenda.  Those running Democrats running for President know that you have to deal with the other side if you want to get  a bill through the US Senate, in less you have a majority of over 60.   They are playing games, they want to cut away the African - American support for Biden, thus they are using the race card, Biden was right to say Senator Booker should say sorry to him, not the other way around.   Let's recall Ronald Reagan called Biden a smooth demagogue in his diaries, thus the VP should not be to moralistic about what others say about him.  The Democratic race for President is going to be a very LONG AND BITTER race, and it's only June 2019.

Escalation to a Naval War between the US and Iran - Trump Era

Sky News: Reports " Donald Trump says Iran has made 'a very big mistake' after US military drone shot down...It follows increased tensions between the two countries and news that the US is sending more troops to the Middle East.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a REAL TEST for the Trump Oval, does President Trump ACT or does he become another Barack Obama and let it go, he has already stated that he thinks it might not be a Tehran Regime decision to shoot down the US drone, thus giving himself a out if he wants it, that will not go down well with the HAWKS in the White House and the Republican Party.  The President should think what JFK or Reagan would have DONE.  The American people can put with a lot, but a WEAK President on the international front will not help his 2020 election prospects.   If the Trump Oval does act, it might be on the Seas, take down a few Tehran small boats, or platforms, make it clear the next time that it will be worse.  The Congressional leadership will be meeting with POTUS this evening, let's see what happens after that.  

Boris is the MAN TO BEAT - Conservative Leadership Contest

BBC News: Reports " Jeremy Hunt will face Boris Johnson in the race to be the next PM after Michael Gove was eliminated in the latest Tory leadership ballot.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog was right by two votes, that Michael Gove was toast, the drugs revelations did not help, also the Conservative Party did not need the psycho battle of a Johnson vs. Gove match up, in 2016 Gove stabbed Boris in the back, this is not new in political history, Ed Miliband stabbed his older Brother David in the back to become Labour Leader ( a pointless thing to do, as he did not win the following General Election ).  The contes between Boris and Hunt should be civil, Hunt is the underdog, the Conservative base is VERY PRO BREXIT, so Hunt if he wants to WIN will have to out BREXIT Boris, do not see that happening, Hunt will want to keep his job as the Foreign Office, thus the contest should be BORING for the press.   If the Party had adults in the room, the underdog would step down and allow BORIS to become PM a little bit early, but that is not going to happen, egos these days are frail.   This blog is supporting Boris, he will bring some fun back to UK politics and put the Brexit Party back in its box.
