Husbands of River Song - Doctor Who Review

Doctor Who News: Reports " 5.77 million viewers watched the christmas special, Doctor Who: The Husbands of River Song, according to unofficial overnight viewing figures.  "

Lets Get Real:

It has been a few days since the Christmas episode, and this Doctor Who fan can still recall the show from start to finish, it was fun, out loud fun, when the Doctor acted as if he had never been in to the Tardis before, River didn't pick that up, then we have the fun on the space ship, also serious, when River said that the Doctor could not love, if it one thing you can say about that is she is wrong, one can state that the Doctor loves his other half.  Then we get sadness at the end, but also hope, the message being that you should enjoy your happy times, they will not come around again, so make the most of it, even if a date on the planet that the Doctor had taken River lasts for 24 years.   If you watch only one episode of Doctor Who  this year, watch the Husbands of River Song and smile. 

Hillary Clinton on Trump - Election 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports " "Hell no. Hillary Clinton will not be apologizing to Donald Trump for correctly pointing out how his hateful rhetoric only helps ISIS recruit more terrorists," Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said Monday afternoon. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the US voter will be faced with this level of discourse should Trump face Clinton in 2016.   Of course as stated this blog will support HRC is any such fight, at least you know what expect from the Clintons, while Trump could cause World War 3 within six months of taking office or sooner.   The issue of national security will be a major issue for 2016, the Clintons have to go left to win the Democratic nomination, but they will have to go hard right to win the Presidency.   The Clintons will be faced by the Obama legacy of failure when it comes to the Middle East, thus they will need to be tough to win. 

Putin on the USSR - World View from Moscow

Telegraph: Reports " Vladimir Putin: 'We don't want the USSR back but no one believes us'..West is 'working to prevent the recreation of the USSR', Russian president says in documentary - but claims that is not what Moscow doing "

Lets Get Real:

MR KGB Putin thinks we ARE ALL DAFT as the Russian people, the Russian President wants more than the USSR back, he wants Tsarist Russia back, he wants the glory of a Tsar and the power of the USSR.   If Putin wants ANY respect he will get out of East Ukraine, allow the Crimea to return to the Ukraine and willl behave in Syria.    As Putin is a tyrant this will not happen, if you want to watch political BS then watch the show on Russian TV.   The West has its guard up and we will support Turkey should it come to a fight. 

Obama on Trump - Election 2016

Guardian: Reports " Barack Obama: Donald Trump is 'taking advantage' of GOP voter anxieties..Obama singled out Trump for exacerbating blue-collar workers’ unease over the economy and changing US racial landscape in wide-ranging NPR interview "

Lets Get Real:

When the President talks about race as a problem its the typical left wing rubbish we expect from Obama and for the Guradian to run without question, the reason blue collar workers are not happy is nothing to do with the race of the President, its the fact that the Obama economy has not bounced back to levels that allows a blue collar to make it to the end of the week.   The President's failure when it comes to terrorism has not helped the US population to feel that they are being lead well.    Thus expect more of this rubbish from a failed President, a President who did no learn and allowed his own arrogance to become before reality. 

The Losing War in Afghanistan - War on Terror

BBC News: Reports " Reports from the southern Afghan province of Helmand suggest Taliban militants are close to overrunning the strategically important town of Sangin. "

Lets Get Real:

At least the UK Coalition Government got the UK troops out of Afghanistan, this blog has always opposed sending UK troops to Afghanistan, the wins are not worth the losses, and those wins and now under threat.   This blog supports the use of air power in Iraq and Syria to go after Daesh, and would support the return of troops to Iraq and Syria.   There are only so many special forces that the UK and the US have, at the end of the day ground troops will be need to keep ground and rebuff the Daesh in Syria.   Thus US, UK and Russia could think of a joint force to get rid of Daesh, it might improve the relationship between the West and Russia. 

Who WON the Republican Debate - Election 2016

BBC News:  Reports " What was surprising, however, was how few candidates tried to lay a hand on front-runner Donald Trump.   There was plenty of heat in this fifth Republican debate, but very little of it involved the New York businessman who claims leads in almost every recent presidential preference poll. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog recorded the debate and watched it all the following morning, the winners were Trump, Cruz, Rubio and Bush.   The blog agrees with the above statement, the candidates did not really take on Trump with the exception of Jeb Bush, if only THIS Bush had turned up at the other debates, as he stated to Trump that he could not insult his way to the Oval Office.  One can see why the pundits were impressed with Senator Cruz, he knew his stuff, even if this blog found it did not agree with any of the Cruz Statements, Rubion wanted to take on the terrorists, while he suggested that Cruz was like Obama, and wanted to read them their rights.   Thus overall what does this blog expect in the polls, well, one can see Cruz extending his lead in Iowa, while the Trump brand name should help him other States.  One could almost see a Trump/Cruz ticket, the Republican Establishment would not be happy, as in way the Isolation wing of the Republican Party would have won the fight.   Thus one hopes HRC will win in the end, bad day for democracy, but at least HRC will act on the international front. 

LA Schools Update - Terror threat or Hoax

Telegraph - Live Blog: Reports in its 6.27pm post the following, " Police chief: we believe threat came from "closer to home"..Chief Beck says that while the threat was routed through an IP address in Germany, authorities believe it came from "a lot closer to home". "

Lets Get Real:

Given the present information and the lack of actual terrorist material found this blog would take the risk and say this threat to LA schools was a hoax, of course if terrorist material is found this blog would revoke that estimation, but thus far there seems little risk to say that the terror threat against LA Schools was a hoax, the question is WHO and WHY, it could be a fan of Homeland, or it could be the terrorists checking out to see how the State would react. They day we allow terrorists to win a new cycle, is a bad day, thus the West as stated in this blog has to take down Daesh, they are a threat to the Western secular values of the West.
