President Trump vs. The Hill - Trump Era

The New York Times: Reports " Senate and House Leaders Call for Inquiry of Russian Hacking in Election "

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats are looking for ties between the Trump Campaign and the Russians, they are looking for another 1968 when Nixon got the South Vietnam Government to refuse to come to the Paris Peace talks that hoped to end the War in Vietnam.   The Democrats always think that the Republicans are up to something, they thought that the Reagan campaign was in talks with Iran to keep the Iran hostages in till the election.   There has never been any proof of such talks or agreement.   Of course the Hill should investigate any Russian hack, but the problem is that it becomes political fast, each side trying to damage the other side, while forgetting the point of the investigation.   One has doubts one will get a 100% answer to the Russian hacks, to misty and cloudy to ever get the truth.

Recount Process Part 13 - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " Federal judge rejects push for Pennsylvania recount "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the recount process will not stop Donald Trump becoming President, the left and the Democrats/Greens must know hope that the electoral college will block Trump, good luck with that idea, that is fantasy land.  The left will just have to get over the fact that we are entering the Trump Era, an Era that will not be boring, will change the US, it has been a kick up the backside to D.C, one does wonder what the US voter has done to the US and the World.

President Trump on US intelligence - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump has poured fresh scorn on US intelligence claims of Russian hackers meddling in the US election. "

Lets Get Real:

Let us be objective about this story, the President - Elect does not want his election managed question, the Democrats want to undermine Trump at the start, and the Russians are just having a great laugh whatever they might or might not have done when it comes to hacking.   The question is why is Trump so supportive of Russia, he has support the Russians through out the campaign, does he have a policy objective that he wants to get when it comes to Russia or does see Russia as his friend, they have said nice things about him, it is all very cloudy, and the answer might never been know.

US Special Forces to Syria - War on Terror

CNN - Politics: Reports " US to deploy up to 200 more troops to Syria "

Lets Get Real:

One can only hope that President Obama finishes off Daesh before President - Elect Trump takes over, as the Trump policy in Syria seems to be be to allow the Russians a free hand. The problem is that the Russians are attacking those groups that are opposed to Assad, while leaving Daesh alone.  The Obama Oval has nothing to lose, it should go all in to destroy Daesh, that would be  real victory, anything less would be a failure, and let's be honest Obama does not have a great track record when it comes to foreign policy.

Trump and the CIA - Trump Era

Washington Post: Reports " Trump, CIA on collision course over Russia’s role in U.S. election "

Lets Get Real:

When President Trump is in the Oval Office he will have to listen to the CIA, NSA, FBI, these are powerful agencies with D.C.    A Trump Administration does not need to make enemies of the above, they can leak and damage any Administration.   Let us hope that incoming Trump team know the difference between spin and reality.   The Russians are a constant THREAT, as to the allegation that they pushed and helped Trump, that is being investigated.   It will not be boring in D.C, and no one will be fawning over Trump or giving him a  Nobel Prize as he comes through the Oval door.

The FBI and the Russians - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " FBI covered up Russian influence on Trump's election win, Harry Reid claims..Senator calls for James Comey to resign for withholding information revealed in CIA report that Russian operatives gave hacked emails to WikiLeaks "

Lets Get Real:

IF the above was coming from Republicans also this blog would take it more seriously, but its coming from a hack Democrat, Harry Reid represents the worse type of the politics that the US voter has turned its back on, if the shoe was on the other foot the Democrats would be saying there was nothing to investigate, YES, the politics of the gutter, thus in till FBI and the other US intelligence networks release THEIR information this blog will pause before saying a 100% that it was the Russians who won it for Trump.   IF it was serious then why did not President Obama make more of it during the election, the election is over, well nearly over, the electoral college meets on Dec 19th, we shall see if there are any shocks, you never know, 2016 has been a VERY odd year.

Tillerson for Secretary of State - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson has met President-elect Donald Trump amid growing speculation that he is being considered for US secretary of state...He has been a critic of the international sanctions against Russia for annexing Crimea. "

Lets Get Real:

IF Moscow did hack the Democrats they must be very happy with the result, they have Trump who has had kind words about Putin's Russia, and now a Secretary of State that does not want sanctions against Russia.   The Trump has been critical of the intelligence agencies and their views on Russian meddling, but that can not last when Trump reaches the Oval, he will have ALL the secret information, the kind of information that can not be discarded.   Let's see how long the warm relationship lasts between Trump and Putin.
