POTUS and Roy Moore - The Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has backed a beleaguered Alabama Senate candidate who is accused of preying on teenagers. "

Lets Get Real:

The Office of the Presidency is more than just a political office, it represents the US to the World.   The fact that POTUS has come out in support of Judge Moore is appalling, LBJ once was told that he could lose the Presidency over supporting civil rights, he replied it was the right thing to do, never mind the political costs, and LBJ WAS  as political as anyone could have been.   The Presidency is a MORAL Office, what POTUS has done will cause damage to the Presidency for years to come, no other President would have done this, today POTUS has lost the respect of those who might have had a slight fondness for the man.   Bad day for Democracy. 

The LEFT and Brexit - Post Brexit Talks

Guardian: The Guardian wrote the following in its Editorial about the latest talks on the UK giving more money to the EU, " For once, though, Mrs May’s ministers have behaved sensibly. The cabinet’s big egos have kept quiet since making the decision (though the former minister Owen Paterson has written an article showing that, on the right, Brexit is a fundamentally neoliberal project with no place for higher NHS spending). This cabinet cannot be relied on over Europe, but they have made the least bad decision in the circumstances. They have done what is needed to keep Britain’s options open. And that, at least, is better than closing them off. "

Lets Get Real:

In other words the Conservative Government has rolled over and accepted that it has to pay more to the EU, when even after the House of Lords stated that the UK did not owe the EU a farthing.   If the left Guardian is supporting the Government over this issue that means it is wrong, the Conservative Government should have walked away from the EU deal.   The UK PM wants to keep the remainers happy, what about the UK voters, they are sick and tired of hearing about the EU and that is just the remainers, time for the Conservative backbenchers to oppose the latest policy, we are appeasing Europe. 

The UK should walk away and do deals with the US and the rest of the World, the Trump Administration has made it clear we could get  a fast deal with them and join NAFTA, of course that depends on NAFTA still being around, the US under Trump has problems with the deal, thus a good time for the UK to make a bold move and do a deal with the US under Trump.

The Northern Ireland Problem and Brexit - Post Brexit

BBC News: Reports " Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar "should know better" than to "play around" with Northern Ireland over Brexit, the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party says.  "

Lets Get Real:

The DUP should have a VETO over UK talks over Brexit when it comes to Northern Ireland, the North wants to remain part of the UK not the EU, thus as the DUP supports the Conservatives in the House of Commons their view should be the deciding factor not the view of Republic of Ireland.   It is reported that the Conservative Government has agreed to offer forty billion pounds to the EU for trade access, the move should only be considered if the UK gets  a good deal and does not cause problems with Northern Ireland.   In the view of this blogger the UK should have walked away months ago. 

Not 1992 but 2016 - The Clinton Legacy

The New York Times: Reports " Celebrating a 25-Year-Old Clinton Win, but Still Stung by a More Recent Defeat "

Lets Get Real:

HRC expected to win in 2016, the Crown was there for the taking, and she failed.   Whatever you think of President Trump he had his finger on the pulse of the US voter, the same as Bill Clinton had in 1992.   The sexual allegations against Bill Clinton should have taken him down in 1992 and they didn't,  the US voter wanted someone who would fix the economy, the same with Trump,   The Clintons created Trump in way in 1998, the liberal defence of Bill Clinton at its core was that the affair with the intern did not stop him doing his job, the US Presidency in their eyes did not mean you had to have a morale President, well then you have Trump in 2016.  On Fox News it was reported that Bill Clinton asked HRC why she was not doing polling and going to the rust belt States, HRC it is stated told the Old Hound Dog that he didn't understand modern politics or how data was used as a tool in modern elections.   A pastor on CNN stated a wise thought, " Data does not vote ".   HRC did not need the FBI to lose in 2016, that is a lesson that some ultra loyal Clinton supporters do not understand, HRC is a BAD CANDIDATE, she learned nothing from the Old Hound Dog. 

Brexit Ministers want details on the divorce bill from the EU - Brexit Talks

Guardian: Reports " May under pressure to justify paying higher Brexit divorce bill...Pro-leave ministers expected to press prime minister for details of future trading relationship at cabinet committee meeting "

Lets Get Real:

Forty billion pounds could be shared between the different parts of the UK, Northern Ireland could use the money to get the Assembly going again, Wales could spend the money on the Welsh NHS, while Scotland it could help with the poor, of course England itself would get a big amount to spend on the NHS.    If the PM was devious she should place a bill in the House of Commons that would request that the Commons either approve or say no to a divorce bill, thus placing pressure on Labour under Jeremy Corbyn.   The Brexit Ministers and backbench MPs should threaten to bring down the PM, 40 billion is 0.01p to much, the EU is being greedy!!  TIME TO WALK OUT OF THE EU. 

EU BLACKMAILS the UK - Post Brexit Talks

Daily Mail: Reports " Theresa May 'set to raise Brexit divorce bill to £40bn': Government could make fresh offer ahead of next EU summit  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK PM has lost the plot, she now wants to give 40 billion pounds to the EU, IF it is  a choice of between a trade deal and no deal this blog supports no deal.  The UK PM should argue that she is going to give 40 billion pounds to the NHS or for the defence of the UK.   The hard Brexit Ministers of the Cabinet should resign as a way to show protest.   Those backbench MPs who want to stop this foolish move should threaten to get a new leader, the UK wants out, these endless talks are seeing the UK make all the concessions.  Time for the UK Government to wake up, leave the EU and leave it NOW.

EU Threatens UK - Brexit Talks

BBC News: Reports " Brexit: EU gives May two weeks to act on divorce bill and Ireland "

Lets Get Real:

In between the EU fanatics within the Conservative Party and the threats from the EU the UK PM should walk away from the EU talks.  One would think that Europe had learned what happens when you threaten the UK, we always win, plus we can also join NAFTA or something new with the Americans.   The EU will lose out if the UK just walks away, also it will put the EU fanatics in the Conservative Party in their place, a UK PM has to be strong, as a former UK PM once said, you have to be a good political butcher.   IF PM May is tough the Conservative Party and the EU will do as they are told.   TIME TO WALK AWAY FROM THE EU.
