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

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.

Lets Get Real:

As this blog expected POTUS has gone back on his word and given his Son a full pardon for his federal crimes, his career is at an end, Why Not!, on this one, this  blog gives Biden Senior a free pass, he is a father after all, and grandfather to Hunter 's  children.
