The Latest in the Brexit Talks - Update - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The PM has to keep her nerve, that also goes for the UK Cabinet, the EU is playing hardball, they are trying to play on the divisions with in the Conservative Party and the UK.   The PM has been tough of late, she has to keep to her plans, the EU would be worse off without the monies from the UK.   The PM has to make it clear, that she needs a plan that she can get through the House of Commons, not one that passes the EU.  There will be more stories like this over the next few weeks, the EU is playing poker, it wants the UK to fold, the UK never folds.    The idea of giving the EU control of Northern Ireland is a non starter with the PM and the DUP, the EU has to get that FACT.

Kavanaugh Update 2 - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

One can only hope that Senator Collins is right when she said that Judge Kavanaugh is a moderate compared to what the critics have said.  It was interesting watching the news networks that none argued with her review of the Judicial record of the Judge.  This is what happens when the networks are taken over by the uber left wing elite.  One can only hope that there are no more problems on the route of the Judge to the Supreme Court. 

The Kavanaugh Confirmation hearing - Final Round on Saturday - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

This is a GOOD day for Justice, the confirmation hearings of Judge Kavanaugh have turned nasty, supporters have followed their political parties, if your a Republican you support Kavanaugh and see the allegations as a way to smear a Conservative Judge, if your a liberal, you do not care about the truth, you just want to destroy the Judge.   The time in College or University should be about learning, if your straight, gay, or something in between, of course sexual relationships should be about consent, no will will argue against that, the point is when you bring an allegation after nearly 40 years, that does rise questions, one is innocent before one is found guilty by a Court.  This battle is part of the culture wars, there will be other battles.

The Road Map to the UK leaving the EU - Update 3 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

An interesting article by the Guardian, it goes through the important dates on the UK/EU talks.   It will be interesting to see if the UK and EU can get a deal, it could go either way, the PM can not make any more concessions to the EU, the Conservative Party will not wear it and it will not get passed the House of Commons.  One can expect the left wing press to go to town over the next few weeks, they will support anything coming out of the EU and will be negative on the UK stand.   Hold your hats it's going going to be fun!!

The President vs. the Kavanaugh Accuser - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

In modern American culture we have the snowflake generation, they do not want to hear Conservative arguments, they think ALL men have the ability to be rapists or attackers.   The question I ask, if Kavanaugh was a liberal Nominee would the accuser have come forward and why didn't she come forward when the Judge was nominated for lesser Courts.   An allegation of sexual assault is serious, but there must some kind of evidence to back it up, you can not destroy someone who has had a perfect record throughout his life but then someone comes up with allegation from over thirty years ago.    The President won the election in 2016, the Democrats are fighting the culture wars, they are fighting in the trenches, the right must fight back.

Conservative Party Conference - Update 2 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

After Brexit the Conservative Party should return to its roots, low taxes, strong government, strong defence, allow the young to rent or buy homes, place pressure on the multi national companies to pay more in tax, instead of sending money to the EU it should divert it to the NHS.    The PM was good when she was attacking Jeremy Corbyn, there needs to be more of that, and not the internal warfare within the Conservative Party.   Lets get BREXIT DONE.  Lets win for Lady Thatcher. 

The Final Day of the Conservative Party Conference - PM Speech - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The speech by the PM was good, it was not a high bar after the disaster of last year's conference.   The PM returned to bread and butter issues, Brexit is not the only issue outstanding.   After Brexit the PM promised that there would be an end to austerity, also more money for the NHS and more house building.  As for Brexit the PM is keeping to her guns, she is waiting for the EU to respond.  There is always a risk of a no Brexit deal.   This speech will buy the PM a few days without getting a roasting from her backbench MPs, but no long, the Country needs to know if there will be a deal by the end of October, the PM mentioned World War 1 and 2, and how the UK came together in rough times, is the PM sending a warning that there could be no deal and there will be problems.   It is going to be an interesting month.
