President Biden on the death of the 39th President Jimmy Carter - For history books

 

Biden regrets leaving the 2024 Race - White House Sources - Trump 47

 Guardian: Reports " Biden reportedly regrets ending re-election campaign and says he’d have defeated Trump...President also regrets picking Merrick Garland for attorney general, as he was slow to prosecute Trump for January 6 "

Lets Get Real:

IF President Biden really believes he could have won, the White House Staff having been smoking something they should have not and the smoke has gotten in to the brain of Biden.  Recent polls show that Biden between 34% and 41% job approval rating, the Democratic candidate would be lucky to outrun that, and VP Harris was not that lucky, there was the inflation and the failure get out of Afghanistan  in decent way, and Biden's broken word that he would leave after one term as President.  Then we come to Trump 47, he was accused of being a fascist by the Democrats, and other American people chose a felon over the decent if inept Biden, the 1st debate of 2024 showed that Biden was out to lunch and that is being kind.  It was a disaster to watch, and millions watched it, after leaving OFFICE, Biden needs a through check up by his Doctor and to work on his legacy.

Man for ALL Time - President Biden - Trump 47

 Sky News: Reports "  Jimmy Carter dies: President Biden leads tributes to 'a man for all time'....Asked if there were any lessons president-elect Donald Trump could learn from Jimmy Carter, Joe Biden answered: "Decency, decency, decency". "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has covered the Carter Presidency, its one high point and the rest of the disasters that happened to  President Carter, let's know look at the success that Carter made of his post Presidential years, he founded the Carter Centre that helps with elections, he built houses and he gained the Nobel Peace Price for his work, that is more than he said of President Obama, who was given the award for doing nothing.   That is not to say that he did not sometimes come in to conflict with his successors in the Oval, North Korea is the classic case in 1994.   The death reminded this blog of the memoirs of Senator Edward Kennedy, no love lost between them, Kennedy ran against Carter in 1980, he recalled be called to the White House with to discuss with the Carter the issues of the day, on arrival he was given a lecture and Carter showed how much he knew about the problems he faced, not so humble when it came it.  One term Presidents can learn from Carter, let's recall that Biden is in the same situation  as Carter, one term, President, he should get to work on his legacy as soon as he leaves OFFICE, the Carter Centre will need a new leader!  Time being the only enemy,

Jimmy Carter DEAD at 100 - Trump 47

 BBC News Reports in its 8.51am post, that former UK PM Gordon Brown has stated that Jimmy Carter was not probably prepared for the Presidency.

Lets Get Real

THIS was a mild critic, in other wise full of praise statement.  NO American of a certain age can forget 444 days that Iran held 52 American hostages, the depression of the Carter years, the invasion of Afghanistan, the inflation of the 1970s.  The judgment was simple no American candidate wants to be compared to Jimmy Carter!  There was the success of Camp David Accords, bringing peace between Israel and Egypt.  Lets send our sympathy to the Carter family today.

Happy Christmas and A Happy New Year to ALL

Happy Christmas

And 

A Happy New Year

Too

All 

US Government founded- Trump47

 CNN: Reports that the US House of Representatives has passed a CR, it will carry on funding the Government in till March 2025.

Lets Get Real:

The Republican Speaker needed Democrats votes to pass the CR, it was opposed by over 30 Republicans, next year could be the same, Trump47 better learn to deal in D.C terms, if LBJ, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton can do it,  then Trump47 has to learn is own art of the deal.  IF Trump47 wants to renew his tax cuts, and get his domestic agenda through Congress, he has to deal with Democrats.

Trump's Government shutdown- Trump47

BBC News: Reports on the 1st House defeat of the Trump Oval, and Trump is not in power yet.

Lets Get Real:

The Republicans and Democrats are playing games, neither want to take responsibility for the US debt, both sides have spent money they don't have, through welfare and tax cuts.  The question must be asked, CNN avoided asking, what about the present President, is he in charge or not, has he completely gone gaga, Biden has been quite, thus far, he is a deal maker after all, after all those years in the Senate. WHERE IS President Biden? 

UK could send troops to Ukraine to train Ukrinian Troops - Trump47

Sky News: Reports that the UK Defence Secretary has stated the UK troops could be sent to Ukraine to train Ukrainian troops.

Lets Get Real:

This will annoy both Trump47 and Putin, the American President wants appease Putin, the Russian President wants to take the rest of the Ukraine like Hitler took the rest of Czech Republic in 1938/39 after the Munich Agreement between Hitler and Chamberlain.  THE presence of UK troops would be a line that Putin will not want to cross, e.g WW3.

Assassinated Russian General will not be mourned - UK - Trump47

 BBC News: Reports in its 12.48pm post that General Kirillov will not be mourned, the UK Government has stated.

Lets Get Real:

As reported the Ukraine secret service has admitted it was behind the assassination of a WAR CRIMINAL, who has used chemical weapons on the battlefield and thus KYIV has shown it can hit Russia at leadership level, the General was in charge of protecting Russia's nuclear and chemical forces, the bombing was close to the Kremlin, no one is safe in the Russian leadership, this will unerve Putin and the rest of the Russian leadership, thus from the Ukraine perspective, a good job, now wait to see how the Kremlin responds.

Assad on Leaving Syria - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that former President Assad of Syria did not plan to leave Syria before the fall of the Regime, circumstances changed his mind.

Lets Get Real:

ASSAD is delusional, no one cares what he thinks, he is lucky that the Russians forced him out, should not annoy Putin, there are big windows in Moscow, that is Putin"s way of dealing with the enemy or friends who are failures.  Russia is taking its equipment out of Syria, the loss of Syria is a major foreign policy disaster, the Putin Regime cannot take more major hits, Putin hopes Trump47 does appease him, otherwise Putin is in trouble, the Ukraine has cost Russia in money and men, an estimated six hundred thousand dead and injured.  Trump has stated that US giving Ukraine long range missiles was a mistake, Putin will be pleased to hear that, thus talks between the Ukraine and Russia are not far off.

Biden surging Weapons to Ukraine - Trump47

 CNN: Reports that the Biden Oval is surging weapons to Ukraine before Trump takes power.

Lets Get Real:

TRUMP was named person of the year by Time, in an interview as noted in above article Trump47 stated he opposed sending arms to the Ukraine, so Biden must hurry with the arms shipment before his time is up.  From January 20th, Trump will appease Putin, he will try force Ukraine in to talks with Russia, we are on the road to WW3, and our leaders are clueless, it will come as night follows day, Trump47 is Chamberlain and Putin is Hitler.

Israel sinks Syrian Navy - The fall of Assad

 BBC News: Reports that Israel has sunk  Syria"s Naval vessels.

Lets Get Real:

Israel has been busy with air attacks on Syrian military facilities, Israel is concerned that Islamic terrorists will get hold of Syria's chemical weapons and armes that were supplied by the Russians and Iran.  TURKEY has raised concerns about these attacks, a new Syria will need an Army.  The West hopes for the best, but must be on ALERT for terrorists taking over in Syria.

Israel strikes Syria - The fall of the Assad Regime

 BBC News: Reports " Israel carries out dozens of air strikes across Syria, reports say "

Lets Get Real:

The article notes that there have a 100 military targets hit since the fall of the Assad Regime, Israel is concerned that an Islamic Government will take over and have access to the hidden chemical weapons of the Assad Regime and other powerful weapons of War, it has been argued that the success of Israel in Gaza and Lebanon has hurt Iran and Russia, while these two Countries were used by Iran as access to attack Israel, the WARS have reduce the influence of Hamas and Hezbollah and made them less able support the Assad Regime with the help of Iran, also with the Russians taking losses of over six hundred thousand men in the Ukraine War,  made sure they could not support their ally, the Putin Regime does not want failure of Assad to move to Russia, thus Assad is being blamed for the fall of his Regime, after 54 years in charge.   The West is looking on, waiting and worried about a future Syria.  As in previous revolutions, its the hardliners who come to the fore after the heavy lifting has been done by the people, that worries the US and West.

US hits Daesh targets in Syria - Trump47

 Sky News:  Reports in its 8.13pm post thar the United States has targeted IS, Daesh targets in Syria. 

Lets Get Real:

Daesh is in the North, this is controlled by the Kurds, the US wants to keep IS in its box, the worry is that the main group that lead the new Syrian revolution HTS has links with AL Qeada and Daesh and is stated by the US as a terrorist group and its leader has a ten million ransom on him by the US, so the US is on ALERT, thus the 75 military hits in the North, while the rebels are using the right words for present, what does the future hold, even Daesh was good with horrible PR, Assad is now in Moscow, Putin"s problem to deal with, Russia has 2 naval bases in Syria, they will want to keep them, Iran will want to play a role in Syria, for its own security, a lot for Trump47 to deal with in 2025.

Damascus on the Edge of falling- Trump47

 BBC News; Reports in its 3.58pm post that Damascus, the Capital Syria is closie to falling to Islamic rebels.

Lets Get Real:

Thus we  seeing the death of the Asssd regime, the West will hope that the rebels are moderate and not another Daesh, Trump 47 is right the US should stay OUT, its  a problem for Russia and Iran.  Israel should be on ALERT just in  case, did MI6 and CIA know this was going to happen, if not why not.  Everyone it seems is afraid of Trump47 in the Oval.

US and Russia tell its Citizens to leave Syria - Trump47

BBC News: Reports " Local rebels take most of key southern Syrian region - reports "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are backers of the Assad Regime, in this they are supported by Iran, another rogue nation.  In historical terms Syria was an interest of France in the 20th Century, ever since the Soviet Era Russia has been a Assad backer in the time of the Assad senior and has backed his son.  The Russians have two naval bases in Syria, Putin will not want to lose them, it has been estimated that Putin has lost six hundred thousand men in the Ukraine War, this might be the reason it has not stopped the offensive by rebels to the Assad Regime, when supposed Super Powers cannot support a small ally it is curtains for them, you can say the same for US and Afghanistan under President Biden, Syria was a major failure for President Obama when Assad used chemical weapons on his own people , or the Ukraine when Trump47 comes in to power.  The Kremlin are getting its people out before the  offensive reaches Damascus or it could be PR by Putin as he might send in Russian troops if he has them to counter the Islamic Offensive.  The West  must wait to see and hope for the best.

What about the African -Americans who deserve a Pardon - Trump 47

Guardian: Opinion Article on Hunter Biden Pardon, the article states the following, " Biden could do so much good with pardons. Instead he bailed out his son...Hunter Biden cut the line while thousands of people who deserve similar considerations of mercy languish in prison "

Lets Get Real:

THE pardon of Hunter Biden by his father the President undercuts equal justice for all, because he is a Biden he will never serve a day in jail, also the pardon goes back to 2014, when President Biden was vice - president to President Obama, what is Biden senior afraid a Trump Justice Department will find out about the business deals of Biden junior while he worked in the Ukraine and how much does POTUS know about the deals.  There are African Americans in jail for non violent actions, who should get pardons first before Hunter, one does hope that POTUS gives them a PARDON on the way out.  The USA should be about Justice, fair and equal, the Biden pardon breaks that ethos.

Hunter Biden given full Pardon by POTUS - End of Biden's Era

BBC News Reports in its 9.04am post that President Biden has given his Son a full Pardon for thanksgiving in the US.

Ukraine Ceasefire Deall by Ukrainian President - Trump47

Sky News Reports that the Ukrinian ceasefire deal proposed by the Ukrinian President.

Lets Get Real:

The ceasefire deal is simple, Ukraine gives up the occupied land that is controlled by Russia for NATO membership  The problem is that the NATO part is bitter pill for Russia to take, the origins of the WAR  was the Ukraine wanting to join NATO.   It depends on how much Trump47 wants to appease  Putin's Russia and how weak he wants to appear to the World,  Iran, China and North Korea will be looking at what he does in the Ukraine.  NEXT YEAR could be tricky!

Putin threatens Kyiv with New Missile - Trump47

 Guardian:  Reports that President Putin has threatened Kyiv with new missile that can't be shot down.

Lets Get Real:

This is just one of Putin threats, his knowledge of missile technology is as good as history, he would never pass in a English University, Russian must have a lower standard.  The Kremlin must be hoping that Trump appeases them as  Chamberlain did with Hitler in the 1930s.  The Russians must have something on him or he loves strong men.  If he wants greatness Trump 47 must take on Putim and win, or be another Chamberlain and not  Churchill.

Trump's Peace Plan for the Ukraine- Trump47

BBC News; reports that Trump47 has nominated Keith Kellog to be his envoy for the Ukrinian- Russian WAR.

Lets Get Real:

Kellog has suggested a peace plan that would have the US only carrying on supporting the Ukraine if  it agree to peace talks with the Russians, if Russia refuse the US would increase the military support.  The carrot for the Russians is that Ukraine would not join NATO for years.  Thus the Ukraine would be sold out by the US and the West. Trump 47 would appease Putin as he has promised, thus the road WW3 has started, as in the 1930s.

Refugees return to Southern Lebanon- Trump47

 Sky News: Reports in its 11.54pm post that refugees are retuning to Southern Lebanon after the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Lets Get Real:

The ceasefire is holding, the Biden Oval will be happy on its way out, as Gaza the WAR is on going.  President Biden will hope to close it down before January 20th 2025, before Trump returns to the Presidency.  In the Ukraine the Russians are advancing in East Ukraine, KYIV Governmemt is out of men as reported on CNN, they have to use Drones to attack the advancing Russians, they will face pressure from the Trump Oval to have a ceasefire, it will start from the 1st day of the Trump 47 2nd term.

Judge closes down Federal case againsr Trump47- Trump47

BBC New  Reports that a Federal Judge has  closed a federal case against Trump47.

Gaetz OUT as AG Nominee - Trump 47

BBC News: Reports " Matt Gaetz withdraws as Trump's nominee for attorney general "

Lets Get Real:

Trump 47 has seen how far he can push the Republicans in the US Senate, Gaetz is one of the most hated men in the Congress and that is just the Republicans side of the House Chamber.  There must be a Republican who is loyal to Trump could pass the Senate, with just Republican votes, Trump 47 has seen his limits, he needs the Establishment to get his Agenda through the Congress.  The idea of mass Deportations will need Congressional support and money, Trump has cut his losses and must find a new AG nominee.  Trump 47 has to recall that he needs to keep the Senate after the 2026 Mid Terms, or his agenda will be dead on the Hill

Biden approves anti personnel mines for the Ukraine- Trump47

Sky News:  reports in its 3.50am post that POTUS has given permission for the Ukraine to use US anti personel mines.

Lets Get Real:

This will help the Ukraine slow down the Russian advance in East Ukraine and the Kursk region of Russia, but it's not enough, if they lose, we all lose, the 1930s again.  WW3 on the horizon, POTUS has to do more before Trump becomes Trump47 again and does his Neville Chamberlain bit and appeases Russia and sacrifices the Ukraine to Russia.

UK long range missiles fired in to Russia - Trump47

 BBC News  reports 4.31pm post that thec Ukraine has used the UK"s long range missiles on Russian soil.

Russia Claims that the Ukraine has used US long range missiles- Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 12.06pm post that Russia claims the Ukraine has used US long range missiles on its soil.

Lets Get Real:

The Russians will do NOTHING, they have won with the election of Trump47, if the Russian do react it would be a big mistake, Biden is still President, in till January 20th, 2025.  The Eastern Europe states will be worried that Russia might try to hit then, just to make a point, Poland and Baltic States should be on ALERT, troubling times ahead.

Thousand day WAR- Ukraine - Russia WAR- Trump47

 Guardian: Reports that President Putin has singed off on a new Russian doctrine that allows Russia to respond should the Ukraine use US long range missiles on Russian soil with a nuclear counter strike.

Lets Get Real:

This is Putin sabre rattling again, he knows that when Trump 47 comes in to power, he will get what he wants, parts of Eastern Ukraine and the Crimea, he just has to wait out Biden.   Trump 47 has an affection for strong men, he sees himself in that light.  Thus his good relationship with the PM of Hungary. 

The UK and the EU will have to support the Ukraine after Trump 47 cuts off support, how long will that last, the US is the major donar to the Ukraine, the UK and Europe cannot afford it in the long term  Ukraine one hopes will go down fighting, shame on the US, how could its voters have voted for an appeaser for POTUS.

Russia will have appropriate response if Ukraine uses US long range missiles- Trump47

 BBC News Reports in its 5.12pm post that Russia will have an appropriate response should the Ukraine use US long range missiles on Russian soil.

Lets Get Real:

Russia is bluffing, Putin has won with the election of Trump in the US, he just has to wait out Biden, so whatever the Ukraine does, Russia will have to take it, who loses the WAR when they have in the long term won the war.  Biden will make Trump 47 the biggest appeaser in history, he will sacrifice the Ukraine because of his ego.  ONE hopes that the Ukraine goes down fighting, they will be stabbed in the back by Trump47's America, AND Europe starting with Germany who will appease Putin.  Thus we shall see a Greater Russia formed, Putin will want more, like Hitler, we are on the road to WW3

Is North Korea the reason for US change of mind over Long Range Missiles- Trump47

 Guardian: Reports on the prospects of North Korean troops joining the battle in the Ukraine - Russia war.

Lets Get Real:

The article points out that a hundred thousand troops from North Korea could support the Russians in the Ukraine WAR, POTUS has left it late, can the Ukraine STOP Russia and North Korea before they become active, these missiles could help,  they would have helped months ago, Biden met Trump47, it was a 2 hour meeting, one assumes North Korea came up, either their nuclear facilities or North Korea helping our Russia, an allay of theirs.  THE Russians have promised WW3 in reaction, sabre rattling again from the Kremlin, Putin is a coward, he knows that it could lead to WW3,  cowards run not fight.

Biden Allows the Ukraine to use US long range missiles in Russia - Trump47

 BBC News reports in its 6.45pm post that President Biden will allow the Ukraine to use US long range missiles on Russia prober.

Lets Get Real:

The future Trump47 Oval will not be happy, he wants to wind down the WAR, did Biden tell him when they met that he was going to do this, if not Trump will be furious.  Thus the Ukraine should use them NOW, last night Russia hit the Ukraine hard, there are blackouts because of the strike.  One does hope that Ukraine goes down fighting EVIL, before Trump arrives in January.  We are on the road of the 1930s, Appeasement before WAR.

German Chancellor talks President Putin - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that the German Chancellor has warned Russian President about its escalation of the war in the Ukraine by using North Korean troops.

Lets Get Real:

IS this modern Germany doing another Munich 1938, Putin is a WAR CRIMINAL and so is his army for its actions in the Ukraine from 2022.   Putin has been isolated since the invasion, is the election of Trump 47, the signal for Europe to remove its sanctions against Russia, is Germany first, Putin should only be dealt with by the Leader of the free World, the American President, its Trump 47 from January 20th 2025, are the Germand trying to get in first.  IF the US cuts its financial support for the Ukraine, will the UK and Europe take over, not for long term, the UK is broke, thus recent tax hikes! The Germans have a minority Government and face a general election, the situation looks dire for the Ukraine.

Matt Gaetz ETHICS Report - Nominee for US Attorney General - Trump 47

 BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.32pm post the following, " Top Senate Democrat asks for Gaetz ethics report...Gaetz was the subject of an investigation over allegations of sexual misconduct, bribery and illicit drug use. He denies all the allegations.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is Trump 47 trying to see how far he can push the Republicans in the US Senate, well 4 of them vote against Gaetz or even ask tough questions, the Department of Justice were shocked and start to leak at once to CNN and the liberal media, is this the first fight that Trump wants, he still has to pull the plug on the Ukraine first, will the US Senate buy this, the President - Elect has a mandate for his agenda, as a candidate he made no secret of his plans. It will not be quiet first hundred days for Trump 47, he will hit the road hard and his way.  

Tulsi Gabbard another NAIL Ukraine's coffin - Russian Appeasement- Trump47

 Guardian reports in its 10.22am post that Tulsi Gabbard has been nominated for the post of Director of National Intelligence.

Lets Get Real:

Tulsi Gabbard blamed the Ukraine when Russia invaded, she will follow the Trump47 line, she is a former Democrat who talked to Assad of Syria, no friend of the US, a firm Russian pawn.  These latest moves by Trump47 shows he pushing the US Senate to bend to his will.  The Attorney General nomination is a joke or Trump47 has lost the plot.

Huckabee made US Ambassador to Israel - Trump47

BBC News reports in its 10.25pm post that Governor Huckabee will be made Ambassador to Israel.

Lets Get Real:

Governor Huckabee is a firm supporter of Isrsel and is loyal to Trump.  The Governor ran for the Presidency in 2016, but dropped out and supported Trump.  ISRAEL needs all the friends it has, Gaza and Lebanon WARS are on going, NYT and Guardian readers want the wars to stop, that includes the FCO in London and the State Department in D.C.  

Selling OUT the Ukraine - Trump47

 Sky News: Reports in its 6.43am post that Trump47's choice for Secretary of State, Senator Marco Rubio opposed further funding for the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

The omens do not look for the Ukraine, the EU might be left holding the baby, yesterday Sir Keir Starmer met President Macron and stated they were united on the Ukrainian defence, we shall see how long that lasts, does Europe have the money to replace the $, Trump is determined to appease Putin whatever the cost to the people of the Ukraine.  Thus the result of the 2024, Munich 1938 has a successor!  Easter Europe will be very afraid.

Ukraine not told of call between Trump and Putin- Trump47

 Sky News: Reports that the Kyiv Governmemt was not told about a  call between Trump47 and President Putin.

Biden to Advise Trump on Ukraine - Trump 47 Era

BBC News: Reports in its 6.11pm post that President Biden is to advise Trump 47 not to walk away from the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

The new Trump Oval will have to deal with the Ukraine, if Trump stops funding the Ukraine then it will fall to Europe, God help Ukraine,  the EU and the UK has its own internal economic problems, one does wonder if they have the stomach or money for long term investment in Ukraine.  The EU and the UK will have to bend the knee to Trump, get him to delay his own favourite policy, one supported by US voters. Sad day for Europe and the Ukraine.

Why didn't ENOUGH WOMEN Vote for VP Harris - Trump 47th Era

BBC News: Reports " Democrats had bet on women showing up in force. They didn’t "

Lets Get Real:

The post-mortem of a failed Presidential run is more fun, defeat has a hundred fathers and winning one has the Candidate who wins and listened to his son as to whom is COOL in the podcast age, Trump gave three hours to the top podcaster in the US, the Harris Campaign turned him down, they were only willing to give him a hour.   Thus the podcaster endorsed Trump.  That 3 hours was time well spent.   The VP did not give herself licence to distance herself from President Biden, on the tv show THE VIEW, she could not think of one thing that she would do differently that Biden even Afghanistan, even LBJ's VP broke with him on Vietnam, and came very close to winning.   The issue of abortion didn't sell itself to older women, they were more concerned about the cost of weekly bills, the Democrats hoped that as before abortion would bring women on a large scale to vote for Harris.  As the article states, it barely moved the needle.   This blog suggested that she say she would only do one term, it would show she was different form Biden, or she could resigned the Vice - Presidency, and ran opposed to Biden, one assumes she liked Air Force 2 to much.  The Democrats need to back their roots, the working class, not Graduates, not everyone has a degree.   The American family want a strong leader, not that someone that breaks glass ceilings for women, hard to hear but its important.  The Democrats need to go back to their nomination process in Iowa AND New Hampshire, not rig the process at they did for Biden in 2020, let the voters see what the Democrats are offering, 2026 not far away, after the Mid Terms in 2026, Democratic candidates should start to visit Iowa and NH.   The American election process in endless.  That is Democracy at WORK.

The End of the Biden Era - Result 2024

 

Lets Get Real:

Thus we come to the end of the FAILED Presidency of Joe Biden, the President Stated that if he had more time, the great policies he had developed would have been liked by the American people.   Voters do not want yesterday's news, they want promises for tomorrow, for aged politician Biden did not get that, that is somewhat of a shock.  Thus Biden will joint the club of one term President's.  That incudes Carter, Bush41, Trump 45, and now Biden.  The President has till January 20 2025, thus he should support the Ukraine, Trump wont, also allow Israel to hit Iran's nuclear structures,.   President Biden should have left after one term as he promised, standing for a 2nd term was a mistake, that cost the. Democrats, they will blame him.

American Presidential Election Update - I GOT IT VERY WRONG Trump Era II

This blog owes its readers a big SORRY, it failed to followed its gut, it allowed what it wanted to happen to send it down the WRONG ROAD in  BIG WAY! It will try to learn from this mistake.

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.52pm post the following, " 'Don't give up. You have power' - Harris addresses supporters after defeat.."

Lets Get Real:

It was a nice concession speech, the writers on US politics will be writing about this campaign for years, was it the wrong candidate, did the campaign message become it own reality, women voted for Trump even after the abortion decision by the US Supreme Court, was Speaker Pelosi right or wrong to get rid of President Biden when she did, would POTUS have been a better candidate, his remark that  he thought supporters of Trump were garbage did not help, well it can be argued that it was President Biden's mistake to run for a 2nd term that allowed Trump to win.  The message of 2020 was that Biden would be a bridge for the future, then he decided he was the future, when he was not up to it, the Democrats rigged the election process for him, now at least Iowa and NH can go back to being start of the process.   The Democrats have to get up from the floor think about 2026 Mid Terms, and what message they will have.   The people of the Ukraine will be worried, will Trump appease Putin, in the Middle East the Israeli PM can tell Biden to take a hike, they will deal with Trump.   The 47th President will try to deport millions of illegal aliens, cut taxes, President Trump has the firm support of the American voters.

Last Poll of 2024 - Harris LEADS Trump by 4% - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

Well only a couple hours to go before voting starts NH.   This wild ride will be over, Trump can go to Prison or home arrest in the Trump Tower and VP Harris be President Elect Harris. No more polls for some time!

The Hill: Reports " Harris leads Trump by 4 points in final PBS News/NPR/Marist poll; gender gap closes...In their national survey of likely voters, Harris has the support of 51 percent of respondents, and Trump has support from 47 percent. The poll also revealed that among independents, Trump has a 5-point lead. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we can start to look at how the Harris first term will deal with the Ukraine War and Israel.  One hopes that President Harris will okay the use of long range missiles given to the Ukraine by the US and allow Kyiv to strike deep inside Russia.   At the start the President has to be tough with Putin, he will try to see if she is weak in the early days of her Presidency, then she will support Israel but get them to back off in Gaza, how many places left in Gaza have they not bombed.   As to Lebanon, she must get Hezbollah to back off and stop firing rockets in to Israel, the people of Northern Israel must be allowed to return to their homes with the threat of terrorism by Hezbollah removed, one can expect that North Korea will try something to see how the young Harris Administration reacts, that goes for Iran also.  The US Congress and who controls it will either help or hinder the new Administration.  After the election the hype of the sentences of Trump will come in to the news, CNN needs Trump for its ratings.   If the President Elect is clever she will pardon Trump and Hunter Biden for Federal charges, get it off her table, the States verdicts are outside her power.   At least the Republican Party can then try to find its Reagan soul, 2026 Mid Terms will come up soon. Then 2028, the cycle never ends.

As stated in past posts it it about ground game, the Democrats have the Unions to help get their members out, while Trump has franchised the operation out, we shall see if loyalty to the Democrats is better than private money to get the vote out.   In the final days the Democrats have to stress abortion and the protection of Democracy form Trump.  The Trump campaign has to stress the bad economic picture and that the US has to change chapter after the Biden YEARS.   One does hope for early night, as stated this blog is supporting the VP due to the Ukraine and Israel, the American voter might want to split the ticket, supporting Republicans for the Congress, thus STOP any foolish liberal agenda that VP HARRIS might have, or if supporting Trump, vote for Democrats to prevent any Trump agenda.  At least Trump has said this is his last election whatever happens, let keep him to his word.  Europe and the Ukraine will be watching the election with keen interest, even Moscow might stay up, will define its strategy for the Ukraine and their own ground game.

VP Harris has a narrow lead in the Blue Swing States - 2024 Candidates/ 2024 General Election - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " Harris has slight leads in ‘blue wall’ states: Marist polls "

Lets Get Real:

It is down to GROUND GAME NOW, the Democrats have to get their voters out, let's break it down to gender, with Women Harris to stress abortion, with MEN it is simple, she has a gun at home, on the economy, things will get better, the present economy outlook is the afterburn of Covid -19, prices will go down, gas, groceries will go down to pre COVID - 19 levels.  The polls have shown a slight lead for Harris, it is about getting the people out on Tuesday.

GO VP HARRIS

Bad Job Numbers for VP Harris - 2024 Candidates/24 General Election - Biden Era

 BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.24pm post the following, " Trump says latest job figures are 'bad news' for Harris...He calls the report "bad news", blaming Kamala Harris and Joe Biden for driving the US economy "off of a cliff". "

Lets Get Real:

This is the the biggest beef of the American voter with the perception that US economy is BAD, in fact the Americans are having the best economy they have ever had, low unemployment and low inflation, but the cost of daily life that it has hard of them.   In any other political cycle, Harris should win in a landslide, and she might still.   The Blue Swing  States look good for Harris, she just must make sure that her ground game is good and she gets her voters out, in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, everyone says the Democratic ground work is great , the Trump has franchised  this out.  Only a few days to go and it will be over for a year before Candidates starting go  to Iowa and New Hampshire to be the Republican nominee to face then President Harris in 2028.  It never ends!

Outside the Margin Error Leads for VP Harris in Blue States - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " New polls for CNN find Vice President Harris with a 6-point lead over former President Trump in Wisconsin and a 5-point lead in Michigan.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog is more confident NOW that VP Harris will win the Presidency, it more that Trump sank his own ship, he could not control is mouth and those that support him.  Thus we can expect that VP Harris will go on supporting the Ukraine, but place REAL pressure on Israel to have a ceasefire in Gaza and for the Hostages to be released.  It can be postulated that the Kremlin will not be happy with this result, they might have thought they would get Trump, but Putin must be clever enough to see that Trump sank his own ship, he had the chance to come back but blew it big time.  The Democratic ground game is very effective, Trump has franchised it out, we shall see who gets their voters to the polls.  May this blog be the first to say congratulations to 

President Elect Harris 

Foot in Mouth President - Trump supporters are Garbage - Biden - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

 Guardian: Reports in its 10.29am post the following, " Biden clarifies ‘garbage’ comments as Harris makes closing speech in Washington...Current president Joe Biden was forced to clarify comments he made on Tuesday after he was seen in an edited video clip saying “the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters”. "

Lets Get Real:

Thank goodness POTUS is on the way out, he has messed up the HARRIS Agenda for the closing days of the campaign, the left wing media was all over what a comedian said  at a Trump rally, but they are not trying to defend their own President.  In out heats of hearts we knew that he meant it, Democrats have this conceit that they are higher beings compared to ordinary people, and God forbid that we might be Republicans and Conservative, my support for Harris has been mild to say the least, but even she when talking to the press did not defend Biden.  The elite liberal press treat the people with contempt, one hand they go after a comedian at an Trump rally but defend Biden, that is why there are never trusted.

Here and Gone President - The End of the Biden Era

CNN: Reports " Biden comes to grips with a diminished role on the campaign trail...Biden has embarked on some soul-searching, those close to him say, reflecting on both the long arc of his career and its abrupt end – his decades as a beloved party operative and, more recently, persona non grata. "

Lets Get Real:

As LBJ used to say that they would ram Vietnam WAR up his backside, well future historians will look at the decision by Biden to quit and run out of Afghanistan, at the cost of 13 American Soldiers lives at the point his polls never recovered, when he was Senator and later Vice President it did not matter what he thought, he was against President Obama sending in Sea Team 6 to get OBL, he thought it was a political mistake, foreign policy has never been his thing.   After Afghanistan he had signed his own POLITICAL DEATH WARRANT, it was an open sore, and his disastrous  debate with the Trump was the end him.   Biden will joint the club of one term Presidents, who either did not run because they had lost the Country, as was the case with LBJ OR Jimmy Carter, Bush 41 and finally Trump lost re-election.   The one good part of his legacy will be that his successor will be the first female President, the 2nd African - American, VP Harris.  As POTUS said to Israel, take the win! 

Trump playing to the base in Speech - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election 2024 - Biden Era

 Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.07pm post the following, " Trump wants death penalty for illegal migrants who commit murder...The former president says the country is in a poor state, but he's going to "fix it very fast" if he wins.  "

Lets Get Real:

CNN showed Trump's speech from Florida, it was racist, he stated that the other central and Southern America countries were throwing their prisoners and mental patients on to American soil.  One cannot believe that he is still spouting this kind of rubbish, it is a return to the his original speech when he announced he was running for the Presidency.   Trump has not grown while in OFFICE or losing in 2020 to President Biden.  This is why this blog is supporting VP Harris in this campaign, she will support the Ukraine and defend Israel but also be honest with Israel about its actions in Gaza.   The VP is not this blog's cup of tea, but is better than Trump, and the great Gipper is gone.   Reagan said his last speech from the Oval Office, if there have to be WLLS there needs to be doors, Reagan had been Governor of California. At least the election will be over in a few days, the sane America voters need to vote for Harris, there is such a thing as decency.

Wil Trump Declare VICTORY whatever the actual result - 2024 Candidates/2024General Election - Biden Era

 Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in in its 6.46pm the following, " Trump increasingly sowing doubts about election results - before it has even happened.....As election day approaches, former president Donald Trump has increasingly been warning that if he loses, it will be because of cheating. "

Lets Get Real:

Trump never accepted losing in 2020 to President Biden, and tried some whacky schemes to stay in power, he was not in D.C for when Biden took over, thus numerous court cases he faces.   The Harris Campaign should not play that game, they should wait in till they are declared  the victor in the electoral college and then say they have won.    Trump has stated this his final run for office, that might be a LIE, Trump not running is not part of his DNA, he wants a Dynasty, the children could run to correct the wrong done their father, form the Trump point of view, he wants his family to be like the Kennedy's and the Bush Family.  The very idea that Trump would play fair is crazy, he loves the people celebrating his name, this what ever the result is not the last time you will hear about a Trump running for OFFICE. 

Harris LEADS Trump by 4% in new ABC News poll - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

 RealClearPolitics: Reports on a ABC poll that has VP Harris on 51% and Trump on 47%, a 4 lead. foe the VP.

Lets Get Real:

If this result actually happens, the VP's campaign would be very happy, also sane Americans.  Nearly all polls from national to state polls show a TIED race or Trump or Harris ahead by 1% to 2%, thus we wait for election day and hope of a clear result, not endless Court cases, will Trump accept the result, thar is open to debate.  There could be surprises, one candidate winning the national poll but losing the electoral college, it happened in 2000 and 2016, who will take the Congree?  If the election is tied it goes to the House, that is in the outer limits of options.   Thus more polls during week.

Four Military Officers killed in Israeli strike on Iran - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era

Sky News reports in its 3.11pm post that four military officers have been killed in the Israeli strike on Iran.

Lets Get Real:

The theocracy in Iran will have to save face and counter strike Israel.  The closed nature of a theocracy means the media is under the control of the clerics, thus any bad news will come out in a slow manner if at all.  It seems there is more bad news to come when it comes to losses, Israel should be on ALERT, this is a never ending War.

Two Iranian Soldiers killed in Israeli strike - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era

BBC News reports in its 9.27am post that 2 Iranian soldiers were killed in the Israeli strike on Iran.

Lets Get Real:

Sir Keir Starmer has called on Iran not to counter strike, its good advice, Iran cannot win a war against Israel.   The US so far has persuade Israel not to go after Irans oil and nuclear facilities, Jerusalem will only hold back for so long, Tehran should take its medicine and get over it, an all out WAR, would be a disaster for the Middle East.

Israel has done a limited strike on Iran - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era

Sky News reports  in its 1.08am post that Israel has stated it has not targeted Iran's oil or nuclear Facilities.

Lets Get Real;

This should keep the Biden Oval happy, one hopes Tehran will let it go, depending on the damage report.  The hours ahead should tell the future of the Middle East.

Israel strikes Iran - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports in its 12.36am that explosions have been heard in Tehran.

Lets Get Real:

Thus Israel has struck military targets in Iran.   The Iranian reaction will be interesting, if they are sane they will let it go, they cannot win a war with Israel and the US, as of NOW, the TV News has not broken its usual coverage, they are waiting for news tomorrow. Developing! 

Trump and Harris tied at 48% - NYT- 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

 RealClearPolitics reports on a NY Times poll that has VP Harris and former President Trump at 48% each. RCP POLL of polls has them tied also at 48.5%

Lets Get Real:

One know sees why the Democrats are worried, they see themselves losing to Trump,  the Fascist from their perspective, the elite urban Liberal press must stop this, there must be more damaging stories out there about Trump, POTUS should be making speeches denouncing Trump, otherwise he will transfer power to Trump in January 2025.   

North Korean Soldiers in Russia - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

 Guardian: Reports " Putin does not deny North Korea has sent soldiers to Russia "

Lets Get Real:

Putin is playing games, he Presidentiknows that West can see these troops, the NSA has spy satellites that can see close up what the Russians and the North Koreans are playing at.   If North Korea troops are used in the Ukraine, then the West must allow the KYIV to use long range missiles to hit Russia, they can only die so many times for the West, sometime even they will  get tired of the West holding them back.  The Biden Oval should stop being frightened of Putin, he is a WAR CRIMINAL after all.   

Are Reagan Democrats back ? - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

 BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 6.43pm post the following, " Traditionally Democratic, US unions divided over presidential race....Donald Trump has made appeals to union rank-and-file a key part of his campaign "

Lets Get Real:

The workers who support are the return of the Reagan Democrats, people who work by their hands and live pay check to pay check.  This is why VP Harris had pandered her recent CNN Town Hall, she stated she would increase the minimum wage to $15 dollars an hour.  These workers tend to be more conservative than the Democratic Party, thus open to Trump's wild and crazy speeches.   Thus the Harris has two weeks to get her message through, she has gone extreme, she has called Trump a Fascist, in this she was supported by President Biden, POTUS stated he wanted to lock up Trump, he caught himself and stated he wanted to lock out Trump from the political process.  The Presidential race will get more dirty, this is not shinning city on the of Reagan's time.

Trump 49% - 46% Harris,WSJ - RCP - Poll of polls, Harris 48.7% - 48.5%

RealClearPolitcs: Reports on new WSJ poll that gives Trump a 3% lead and in their poll and in RCP poll of polls a 0.2 lead by Harris.

Lets Get Real:

There is still time for Harris to turn this around, going negative is not the answer, we all know who Trump is, the character has been defined by the candidate himself.   The question is who is good for the economy and the migration issue.  The VP should have carried on with her own message of hope for the next four years, not get in to the gutter with Trump, he will win that battle, the US Harris does not need to be the Titanic.

WHY VP Harris has gone negative- 2024 Candidates/2024 Candidates - Biden Era

BBC News Reports on why VP Harris has changed her strategy towards Trump.

Lets Get Real:

When your losing you go negative in American politics, you are no longer interested in getting neutral voters, you wany to keep your base happy and out to vote.  THUS you pander, thus VP stated on CNN that she supports an increase in the minimum wage to about $15 an hour.  Expect her to go more left wing, it's sad in way, she not doing Obama's hope message, it might work, politics is a dirty business at its core = Votes.

TRUMP is a FASCIST - 2024 Candidates/General Election 2024 - Biden Era

 Guardian  reports that VP Harris has called Former Presisent Trump a Fascist.

Lets Get Real:

BOTH sides have gone in to gutter, Trump has called out the enemy within, in other words the Democrats, and Harris has joined the crowd and  called Trump a Fascist, in this as reported by CNN she has been joined by President Biden. THE American voters want HOPE, and a good economy, they don't see that with Biden Economics, that is why he was forced from the race by fellow Democrats.  This is not Reagans Good Morning in Americlca advert, its far worse, the worse aspects of American politics at play.

VP Harris has a 1% LEAD over former President Trump - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election

The Hill: Reports " Harris’s lead over Trump slips to 1 point in new national survey...The poll, released Monday, shows Harris leading Trump by 1 point, 45 percent support to 44 percent, among likely voters nationally.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is not good, this blogs political gut is worried that Harris might just lose in the end, the Vice President should spend ALL her time in the Swing States, use Bill Clinton and Barack Obama as well, keep the President out of it, he is not that popular, the decision could come down to a few thousand voters, the VP should shake more hands and kiss at many babies it takes to win.   The very thought that Trump could win should worry all sane Americans.   The VP needs a limited amount of Republican support, she could say that she will only  serve one term as President, anything to keep Trump OUT of the Oval Office.  There are less than to two weeks to go, the security of NATO and Western Europe is at stake, the above promise could allow for Republicans to vote for her, four years is not that long and fresh candidates in 2028.

Israeli PM and President Biden Speak over the phone - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era

White House: Has a readout of the telephone call between President Biden and the Israeli PM on the death of  Yahya Sinwar, " Readout of President Joe Biden’s Call with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel...President Biden spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel to congratulate him on the mission conducted in Gaza that killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu also discussed how to use this moment to bring the hostages home and to bring the war to a close with Israel’s security assured and Hamas never again able to control Gaza. They agreed to remain in close contact over the coming days both directly and through their national security teams. "

Lets Get Real:

Neither leader can stand each other, they put up with each other because they have too, it seems that the chat was brief, the White House wants to end the war in Gaza and get the hostages back before the election, that might not be the Israeli plan, both believe they have each other in the palm of the their hand, the White House can always stop military supplies to Israel, while Israel has actual troops on the ground in Gaza, and Lebanon and will strike Iran soon.  Any Biden move to stop supplies to Israel would be stopped by the US Congress and the fame of the Israeli lobby is not a joke.   Thus Israel at the moment has the power, while Biden can only watch on. 

Harris LEADS by 4% in new Poll - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports  " Harris edges Trump by 4 points in head-to-head match-up: Survey..The poll, released Wednesday by YouGov, found Harris has 51 percent support to Trump’s 47 percent in a two-way race among registered voters.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Democratic aghast crowd can relax, the VP has kept her healthy LEAD over Trump, the worried crowd do not help their candidate in fact it might depress her voters not come out on election day.  One has to think that the American voters are more sane than the commentators on the Presidential race, they do not flip over every poll.  The VP has shown that she is not afraid to enter the lions den by appearing on Fox News, a testy counter be she came out the other side.   Thus far the VP has been sane, while Trump has been mad as a hatter, if one was to critic  Trump views, one would go MAD!

Yahya Sinwar is DEAD - Gaza War - Middle Crisis - Biden Era

 BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.01pm post that Sinwar , who is believed to have planned and executed October 7th 2023 attack is dead, the article states the following, " Sinwar's death would be 'historical justice', retired Israeli general tells BBC...Sinwar was the one to start the massacre of October 7th, and it's not just a justice for the Israeli people, for the victims' families, but it's also for the Palestinian people because he was the one to bring on them the result of the October 7th vicious attack  "

Lets Get Real: 

If the death report is confirmed; it has been confirmed by the White House; this could help allow Israel to allow more food in to Gaza and declare the WAR over, the Israeli Government can then allow the UN to rebuild Gaza if it wants to.  Also those Governments that have been critical of Israel can help pay for the rebuilding or take the people in form Gaza, that will not happen.  IT is time for Israel to move their main view to Lebanon and Hezbollah, that war is on going and then there is Iran left next to attack.  The US will be happy if Sinwar is gone, allows Israel to declare victory and for the Biden Administration and this case the Harris Campaign to state the they have looked after the Palestinian people in Gaza after some delay.  It depends how Harris Campaign deals with the issue.   Thus a good day for democracy against terrorism.
