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

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!

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.

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.
Latest US Polls - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era
RealClearPolitics: Reports on its poll of polls, VP Harris 49.2%, Former President Trump 47.7%.
Lets Get Real:
THE latest polls have Trump leading by 2% or Harris by 5% or tied. Thus you can see why Democrats are getting their knickers in a twist, Harris is the media darling for the Liberal press, female, a Californian Liberal, and black. The VP might still win, but its tough, could this be 2000 or 2016 again. ANOTHER Trump term, this blogs political gut is saying YES.

New Anti Missile System sent to Israel - Middle East crisis - Biden Era
Guardian reports in its 1pm post that the Americans are placing an advance anti missile system in Israel.
Lets Get Real:
Tehran has warned against this, one assumes the US has a VETO on what targets the Israeli Government can hit in Iran, thus Israel will not hit Iranian nuclear and oil facilities, in return the US has to send its advane THAAD anti missile system to Israel. This will counter and Iranian action, the US hopes Iran will not react, neither the Biden Oval or Iran want a WAR. EVENTS, EVENTS, you never know.

US and Israel close to agreement on what Israel will hit in Iran - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era
Guardian: Reports in its 11.45pm post that the US and Israel are close to an agreement on what Israel will hit in Iran.
Lets Get Real:
The above is the reason that the Israeli Government has delayed a strike on Iran. They want US agreement should Iran strike back and Israel hits Iran's nuclear facilities in a third strike from Jerusalem. It would be a big mistake for IRAN to react, one hopes that Iran's neighbours deliver this message from the US, accept the attack and do nothing. The clock ticks!

POTUS " ironclad commitment to Israel’s security. " - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era
White House: Readout of President Biden's call with the Israeli PM, " Readout of President Joe Biden’s Call with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel..President Biden spoke this morning with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. Vice President Harris joined the call. The President affirmed his ironclad commitment to Israel’s security. He condemned unequivocally Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel on October 1st. On Lebanon, the President emphasized the need for a diplomatic arrangement to safely return both Lebanese and Israeli civilians to their homes on both sides of the Blue Line. The President affirmed Israel’s right to protect its citizens from Hezbollah, which has fired thousands of missiles and rockets into Israel over the past year alone, while emphasizing the need to minimize harm to civilians, in particular in the densely populated areas of Beirut. On Gaza, the leaders discussed the urgent need to renew diplomacy to release the hostages held by Hamas. The President also discussed the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the imperative to restore access to the north, including by reinvigorating the corridor from Jordan immediately. They agreed to remain in close contact over the coming days both directly and through their national security teams. "
Lets Get Real:
This readout of the talk is interesting, POTUS confirmed his ironclad commitment to Israel and that he would stay in contact with the Israeli PM directly and their national security teams also keep in contact. ONE DOUBTS that Israel wants to anger the Biden White House in case VP Harris wins in November, thus one can assume the targeting of Iran's nuclear sites is off the list, also the oil facilities. Then what, a cyber attack could be on the cards, and hitting Regime buildings at night to prevent innocent people getting killed. The Israeli Defence Secretary stated that the Iranian attack of the 1st had failed, no one was hurt, no heavy damage to buildings either, thus no need to go heavy in return. Interesting few days ahead.
Israeli counter Sltrike will be surprising- Israel- Middle East Crisis - Biden Era
BBC News: Reports in its 6.45pm post that the Israeli Defence Minister has stated the Israeli strike on Iran will be deadly, precise and surprising.
Lets Get Real:
EVERY professional commentator and blog will try to work out what the Minister means, one assumes some kind of cyber attack, combined with air attack from the air, with special forces on the ground. Thus important enough to hurt Iran, without a full war breaking out, as the Minister stated the Iranian attack of last week failed to do any damage, Israel was helped by the US. One thinks Biden will be happy, no strike on Iran's nuclear sites this time.

Netanyahu 'blocks Israeli minister's visit to Pentagon......
Benjamin Netanyahu barred him from travelling to the US until Joe Biden spoke with the prime minister, Israeli news outlet Haaretz reported...It cited sources familiar with the matter as saying Mr Netanyahu also insisted the security cabinet approve military action against Iran beforehand. "VP Harris LEADS Trump by 3% - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era
Guardian: Reports in its 11.09am post that a new NYT poll shows VP Harris leading Trump by 3%, 49% to 46%.
Lets Get Real:
This is a good poll, month before the election, the VP in her 60 Minutes interview she said that Trump would surrender the Ukraine to Russia, her Israel answer was more evasive, support for Israel if not for the present PM. Those swing States have a high level of Arab voters and supporters, thus far so good for the VP, a week is a long time in politics.

Noted: Remembering the 7th of October, we who support Israel, should also support them when they have to make the tough decisions.
BBC News reports in its 4.33pm post on the options Israel has when it comes to a counter strike on Iran.
Lets Get Real
The article goes through the various options, from economic , leadership to the strategic options of military such as Iran's nuclear sites. If Jerusalem wants to send a hard message it will hit Iran's nuclear sites these are the last resort of the Evil Regime, take them out before they become the 1st option. The future is bleak with a nuclear armed Iran

Biden does not want Israel to hit Iranian Oil Sources- Middle Eaat Crisis - Biden Era
Guardian reports in its 7.42pm post that POTUS does not want Israel to hit Iranian oil sites.
Lets Get Real:
POTUS is a security risk, he does not want Israel to hit Iran's nuclear sites, NOW its Iran's oil sites. ONE does hope that the Israeli Government does not listen to the Oval, Biden is an appeaser, on his way out. At least Trump supports Israel NOW, we shall see if this helps Trump in the Swing States. In Biden, Tehran have its own Neville Chamberlain, the appeasing PM of the 1930s.
US Attacks Houthi in Yemen - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era
Sky News reports in its 4.48pm post that the US has struck the Houthi in Yemen.
Lets Get Real:
This is the fault of the Americans, they made the UK give up the port of Aden in the 1960s, winds of change and all that claptrap. Thus you see the Houthi today backed by the terrorist State of Iran. The so called Supreme Leader backed the Hamas attack of the 7th of October 2023. The Mossad should do the World a favour and take him out. The World has gone in to the toilet since Resgan, Thatcher and Gorbachev ran the World. Bring back the British Empire, for all its fault, it bought liberal democracy and Law.

Biden Opposes Israeli strike on Iran"s nuclear sites - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era
Noted; 8 Israeli Soldiers killed in combat with Hezbollah terrorists IN Lebanon.
The VP debate in the US was seen as draw by the press, in other words the Republican Nominee WON.
BBC News reports in 6.22pm post that POTUS opposes an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear sites.
Lets Get Real:
This is the FLAW in Biden, he cannot see beyond his own ego and judgment, this explains Afghanistan and the stalled WAR in the Ukraine. He foreign policy views have always been WRONG. This is the perfect time to go after Iran's nuclear sites, when the World is against them, not when they have nuclear weapons. Stop a road that leads to WW3, learn the lessons from the past.

Limited Operation in Lebanon- Middle East Crisis --Biden Era
BBC News: Reports in its 9.57am post, that Israel has not done a full invasion of Lebanon, just walking distance over the border.
Lets Get Real:
If true this will keep the OVAL happy, they do not want another Gaza. This is a mistake by Israel, when you have the enemy on the floor you finish the job. Hezbollah could rebuild itself if given time, POTUS will be gone in January, Israel should use its free hand, while politics plays itself out in the US
Hezbollah should be pushed in to Syria, give Lebanon the chance to breath freedom This could be their only chance.
