Donald Trump on Hillary and Bill Clinton - Election 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports " Hillary Clinton silent as Donald Trump escalates attacks, innuendo "

Lets Get Real:

The Clinton Campaign has to go on the attack, it needs through its friends in the left wing media to go after the Trump history, everyone has something to hide, its just a matter of digging.   The Clintons have been down this road in the 1990s, at the end of the day Bill Clinton was impeached and found not guilty by the US Senate.   Whatever Bill Clinton might have done or not done is in the past, he is not running, its his wife, she has been First Lady of the US, a US Senator and finally the US Secretary of State.  The mistakes of Bill Clinton should not be thrown against his wife, the sole exception being if she uses women issues to be critical of Republicans, then she opens up herself to be attacked because of Bill.   This is the gutter politics we will get in 2016 should it be a Clinton vs. Trump fight. 

The US and Iran - Iran Tensions

BBC News: Reports " Iran conducts 'provocative' live rocket tests near US ships "

Lets Get Real:

Although the US and Iran have agreed a deal over Iran's nuclear ambitions it does not mean that the US and Tehran are friends, quite reverse, after the US left Iraq in 2011 it can be argued that Baghdad fell in to the orbit of Iran, the Tehran forces has sent forces to Iraq to help Baghdad fight Daesh, while in Syria it is supporting the Assad Regime against moderate rebels and Daesh.  The Tehran Regime sees the Middle East as it backyard, it wants the US out of the region, thus the forces of Iran will place pressure on the US to see how far it can push it, one can postulate that President Obama would like to visit Iran before he leaves Office, the Tehran Regime will not be rushing out with the red carpet for such a visit. 

The Weakness for Hillary Clinton = Bill Clinton - Election 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports " Donald Trump declares Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones 'fair game' "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we return to the Clinton Wars of the 1990s.  The extreme liberal press has not helped Hillary Clinton by not running with the issue, in essence the Clintons have gotten a pass from the media, the Republican Party and the Trump Campaign are going to after Bill Clinton if the HRC campaign start to use women issues against the Republicans.   As noted by the article the Clinton Campaign has been quiet about these women and their issues with BC, " ..Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey that they were either raped or sexually harassed by Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton's office declined comment at the time and did not immediately return a request for comment Tuesday. ".   Thus BC might be a great political asset to HRC, but his personal record is not that great.   It will be interesting to see the outcome of this debate. 

The CIVIL WAR in Labour - Corbyn Mania

The Guardian: Reports " John McDonnell refuses to back Hilary Benn in Labour reshuffle..Shadow chancellor says shadow foreign secretary had ‘important part to play’ but does not say he will keep current role "

Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party civil war between the extreme left wing as represented by Jeremy Corbyn and the Tony Blair supporters who represent the center and the right wing is coming to a head.   The Party leadership is left wing, while most of the Labour Party MPs are in the centre or even right wing,  they open battle that came with the Syrian vote has shown that something has to give before 2020.   It can be argued that a majority of Labour MPs would not vote for Corbyn for PM, even if they had a choice.    The civil war to come is the reason that Labour will lose the 2020 election. 

Obama the LAME DUCK President - Election 2016

Daily Mail: Reports " Lame duck on world tour: Obama to fly abroad at least six times to 'secure' his legacy "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we have a failed President running from home to get some news covereage from the left wing media.   In many respects Hillary and Bill Clinton will be happy that POTUS will be far away, then they can distance themselves from his Administration. The last year of a Presidency the media coverage moves to the future Administration, one might expect POTUS to visit Iran, he has bowed so much he expects Iran would be happy with a visit from the US President.   The White House has not noticed that the Tehran leadership has made clear, with the exception of the Iran deal the US and Iran are still enemies.   The last President to help a nominee of his Party gain the Oval was Ronald Reagan in 1988 with his support of Bush 41. 

Major Defeat for Daesh in Iraq - War on Terror

BBC News: Reports " Iraq declares Ramadi liberated from Islamic State "

Lets Get Real:

This is a good start by the Baghdad government, but it is still going to be a long fight, the retaking of Mosul will be hard, the Daesh terrorists have had the time to build up their defences and cause delay due to the placement of IED's.  It can be taken for granted that Western Special Forces have had a part in this victory.   This blog still argues that it will need Western combat troops to finish off Daesh in Iraq and Syria, the terrorists do not play by Western rules, thus their need to get the West to place troops in Iraq and Syria and for Daesh to capture them, with that in mind, it should only be Special Forces troops that are used, as there will be tough fighting.   The War in not over, but the end might be in sight. 

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.
