Gay Marriage FROZEN in Utah - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian: Reports the following from the US Supreme Court on the latest gay marriage development, " 

Utah same-sex marriages put on hold in US supreme court decision..Gay marriages suspended pending lower court appeal ".

Lets Get Real:

This blog is a Conservative/Republican Blog, but on this issue the US Supreme Court is wrong, this blog has always supported the right of gay people to marry, this decision only affects Utah, but as the article notes this effects around nine hundred people, so what are their statues NOW, are they married or not, the Supreme Court should make its decision soon, one can make the argument that this decision is immoral, either allow or ban gay marriage, either make it a federal right for ALL Americans or not, the worse decision would make it a State matter, thus a couple might be married in a liberal State but not a Conservative State.   This is unfair and unwise, lets hope the Court makes the right decision soon as gay marriage is a Civil Right. 

Al - Qaeda threat to the Obama Legacy - 2nd Term Blues

Telegraph: Reports the following from Washington D.C on the latest developments in Iraq, " US fears over Al-Qaeda takeover of key Iraqi cities..President Obama put on the spot as Iraqi security forces and loyalist tribesmen fight to retake Fallujah and Ramadi ".

Lets Get Real:

This is the time for President Obama to let out his Chicago ruthless side, the US can not afford for Syria and Iraq to become a major training ground for Al - Qaeda, the US should send in drones, US special forces and the CIA, all this should be done in secret, keep the US Congress out of it, for POTUS this is about his legacy, if he fails here, ObamaCare will not matter, all historians and the right wing will do is push Middle East down his throat for rest of his life.   Lets recall it took decades for Jimmy Carter to regain some affection by the US voter, his post Presidential work does not make up for his term in Office, but it does balance it out.   The Liberal left of the Democratic Party will never support taking action, but they on the whole do not write the history books, look at what Vietnam did to LBJ, his Great Society was epic, makes ObamaCare look small, but he still has negative ratings with the US voter.  Thus time for Obama to act or face harsh critical review from historians. 

The failure of President Obama in the Middle East - 2nd Term Blues

The New York Times: Report on the bloodshed from  Lebanon, Syria to Iraq, the article notes the following, " the emergence of a post-American Middle East in which no broker has the power, or the will, to contain the region’s sectarian hatreds. ".

Lets Get Real:

The article does not state it but one can only come to one result, the bloodshed in the Middle East is down the foreign policy failure of President Obama, he has allowed the Syrian War to become a religious conflict, it started out as a secular revolt, the lack of action by the Oval over the years has allowed Al - Qaeda to take the lead, the failure to follow through with a military strike after WMD was used has made the allies of the US, from Israel to Saudi Arabia understand that they will have to take action if they want to stop Iran getting the bomb.   President Obama is a smart man, but he does not understand the Middle East, he thinks his words are reality, his words represent someone who has never done a single class in International Politics, being a Harvard Graduate in Law does not cut it, Obama is clueless, he has made is Secretary of State look like a fool, marching the troops up the hill then walking them down over Syria.   The bloodshed in the Middle East will get worse, large parts of Iraq and Syria could come under Al - Qaeda control, this could further the religious conflict between Saudia Arabia and Iran.    The Israeli Government will need to strike Iran this year, a war is coming, it just depends when, that is the fault of a clueless President. 

Target Fallujah - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports the following from Iraq, " ..the Iraqi government said it had lost control of the key city of Fallujah, west of Baghdad. ".

Lets Get Real:

The US should use its drone force to take out Al - Qaeda in Fallujah, also it you should consider using its special forces to help the Iraqi Government, the issue is not only the security of Iraq its how the US is perceived, if Obama loses the peace in Iraq the US allies in the region will consider they are alone, thus Israel and Saudi Arabia will join forces to strike Iran before it gets the bomb.    The results of such a strike could drag the US in to a regional war, it does not matter what POTUS wants, it what happens on the ground that matters.   The failure of the Obama policy in the Middle East could cause a regional war that could return the West in to recession.   Thus POTUS has to see the real world, before the real world knocks at his door, and the Oval has no choice but to send troops back in to Iraq. 

The Immortal Mr Holmes?

The Blog of Dr. John .H. Watson: Reports the following in his fun and well written blog, " As the trending hashtag says: #sherlocklives ".

Lets Get Real:

This blog has followed the career of Mr Sherlock Holmes with interest, the Met could do with the help, if Mr Holmes is at a lose end could he find my stolen wallet, the Met didn't do much, and its been four years.   That would be very cold case! I dare you! As to the TV, newspaper headlines, and of course Twitter, Mr Holmes should get Dr Watson to write down his tales in book form, one good start is how he faked his own death, there have been many theories on the Blogs, Twitter, etc, last nights press conference by Mr Holmes left with no CLEAR understanding of how he managed to fake such an even in such a short time, using the skills of Mr Holmes, one could postulate that he was never on the roof, falling down with a robe and crash mat does sound like a PR statement to feed the hungry plebs, and this pleb is not baying it for a second.   One can assume that Mr Holmes was holding the body of the look alike then threw the body over, then he was helped by friends, who, why, people at the hospital, his brother, the other Mr Holmes works in the shadows for Her Majesty's Government.  This blog will keep an eagle eye on the cases of Mr Holmes, it would be nice if Dr Watson was a faster writer, we need more cases solved by the Immortal Mr Holmes and his good friend, soon to be married Dr Watson. 

NYT, Guardian - Traitors to the Soul ?

Guardian: Has the following editorial on Edward Snowden, " We hope that calm heads within the present administration are working on a strategy to allow Mr Snowden to return to the US with dignity, and the president to use his executive powers to treat him humanely and in a manner that would be a shining example about the value of whistleblowers and of free speech itself. ".

Lets Get Real: 

It seems the publishers of the Snowden material, the elite left wing New York Times and the Guardian are spinning for a traitor that has hurt the US and UK around the World.    If these papers had released that kind of information during World War 2, there would be no nice chats from the men from 10 Downing Street, the reporters and editors would have found themselves under arrest and under a charge of treason, lets get real, in either WW1 or WW2 they would have spent years in jail, and not allowed out even after the Wars were over, if we ever have a WW3, the US and UK Governments will have to close down these papers that support treason.  The above papers bring shame to the meaning of being a reporter, they value their own view above that of the common man, the man they are supposed to be protecting.   This episode SHOULD shame these papers, but they are so much up their own ego and that they see their reality as the real world, shame on them. 

Edward Snowden is a TRAITOR, What about the NYT ?

The New York Times: The US paper of record writes the following in its editorial on Edward Snowden,"... deserves better than a life of permanent exile, fear and flight. He may have committed a crime to do so, but he has done his country a great service. It is time for the United States to offer Mr. Snowden a plea bargain or some form of clemency that would allow him to return home,.. ".

Lets Get Real: 

How out of touch is the extreme liberal NYT, lets recall this is the same paper that covered for Stalin during the Cold War*, the paper has lost it moral soul, it no longer cares about the security of the United States, it peddles left wing spin as reporting, that virus seems to have travelled to its foreign policy writing as well, the US voter if they take the NYT should consider changing paper, if the NYT had ruled the US through the 80s the Warsaw Pact would still be around, Eastern Europe would still be under Soviet control and the USSR would still be living threat to Western democracy.    If the Republicans retake the White House in 2016 it should allow the DoJ to look at the NYT, to see if it has broken any laws, the release of highly secret documents found itself on the front page of the NYT, this was a blow to US national security.    The NYT must have wept that Reagan was right about the USSR, while the liberal elite had their heads up their own egos.   Thus hubris before the fall, all things end, will the NYT just become a forgotten paper from the early years of the 21 Century. 

*In reference to the Cold War, this blog takes the start of the Cold War from 1917, when the Communists took over, to its end in the mid 1980s under Reagan and Gorbachev.   The exception was a brief and for mutual reasons the alliance between the US, UK and USSR during World War Two, the alliance folded after the end of WW2 in 1945.
