Washington D.C under Curfew after Capitol stormed - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its live blog at 11pm that " The capital city in the US, after hours of violence at the heart of its government, has just started its citywide curfew.. The local time is 18:00 EST and it's in effect until Thursday morning."

Lets Get Real:

This blog was in shock when it watched the news to see the US Capitol being stormed, the US security in the place was lacking, this is not new, in 1984 this blog went over to the US to see the Presidential Election and visited the Capitol, security was not an issue, this blog got lost and found itself walking around the corridors of the US Senators, even passed the office of Senator Edward Kennedy, after 9/11 one would have hoped that US security has been upgraded, it seems not.  This blog is a firm Law and Order supporter, there should have been police on guard to stop the protesters, this act today was up there with sedation, even treason.  The last time the Capital was stormed, was by the British in 1814, we also burned the White House in 1812.   Thus after that and the US Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln, one would have thought that security would have been the first thing to get a upgrade.  The rioters must think they had the blessing of President Trump, he was still saying the election was stolen when by video he called for the protesters to go home.   Thus the Biden Department of Justice, should bring charges against Trump and his supporters.  This is at least sedation or even treason.  If not that then Trump's pension should be axed, he has enough money, as he keeps telling us he is a billionaire. 

Tony Blair would have supported the Brexit Deal - After Brexit 1

Daily Mail: Reports " Arch-Remainer Tony Blair says he would have BACKED the Brexit deal in House of Commons as he compares leaving the EU to 'shock therapy' "

Lets Get Real:

As the PM said in the House of Commons the Labour Party is planning to take the UK back in to the EU after the 2024 election if they win.  The HARD REMAINERS, and this includes former PM Tony Blair want to see the UK back in the EU and supporting removing the pound and trading in Euros. The UK at the moment is going through a fraught period, with Brexit and COVID - 19, once the vaccines are out in the public the crisis atmosphere will go down and Sir Keir Starmer will be seen as Captain Lockdown, always calling for Lockdowns, the UK can only take so much closing down the economy.  The polls should show LABOUR ahead, if they didn't there would be something wrong with either the polls or the people. The next election is in 2024, polls come and go, and Boris is a good politician. 

The MIND SET of POTUS ( Trump ) - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " Extraordinary audio recording reveals worrying insight into Trump's state of mind...With just weeks to go before Joe Biden takes office, Mr Trump's behaviour seems increasingly erratic and potentially dangerous. "

Lets Get Real:

It is fair to argue that the taped conversation between Trump and a Georgian official, could cross the line when it comes to State or Federal LAW, but the real worry is that Trump will take action over Iran or Iran might try to force the issue before Biden becomes President.  One can assume that Biden will appease Iran, the sanctions will be lifted and the US and the UN will try to get the Obama agreement restored, that will help with the Obama legacy.  Of course one can be critical of Trump, he has lost he plot, but not when it comes to IRAN, they are already increasing their nuclear capacity that is well over the agreement signed by Obama and Iran.  Thus President Biden will try to restore a flawed agreement, the real worry is what he is going to do about Russia and North Korea, the Democrats have been critical of Trump when it comes to Putin, but what to they plan to do about it, while North Korea is nuclear armed, is Biden going to go to war with North Korea, one has doubts.  Time will tell. 

Is Trump committing Treason with his Georgia Gamble - Biden Era

POTUS is close to the line of TREASON! 

BBC News: Reports " US election: Trump tells Georgia election official to 'find' votes to overturn Biden win "

Lets Get Real:

This blog is not a US election lawyer, but the taped conversation of POTUS placing pressure on a Georgian official to find VOTES is crossing some US law, either State or Federal, the Republicans on the Hill seem to have been captured by Trump, the Party has to think about the 2022 Mid Term Elections and then 2024 Presidential run.  The Republican BRAND is being damaged, God knows what the Gipper would say about this latest move by Trump, but then Reagan won by 44 States in 1980 and 49 States in 1984.   Trump is acting like a old Chicago politician, thinking that he can over turn a Presidential election.  What he should have done was admit defeat in November and then get his base ready for the 2024 election, after this daft and stupid move the Republicans must wake up, and drink the Coffee. 

Former PM May attacks Labour over her DEAL - After Brexit 3

Daily Mail: Reports " The lone rager: Masked Theresa May vents fury at MPs for failing to back her 'better' Brexit deal last year while branding Boris Johnson's agreement 'disappointing' "

Lets Get Real:

This blog always thought it was a mistake for former PM Theresa May to stay in the in the House of Commons after she was forced out by her backbench MPs.  The former PM is angry at being forced out of job she loved, that the House of Commons rejected her agreement by vast numbers.  The article reports that while having a go at the present PM she also went after the leader of the Opposition for playing political games, her deal was a far softer Brexit and it was rejected by the Labour Party, one can see why she is angry, as noted previously in this blog, the Labour Party was under orders to vote for the Boris Deal, if they had voted for the May deal then history might have been different, very different.  The PM should consider offering May a Seat in the Lords, then she can states her views but not seen as another Edward Heath who had the longest hump with Lady Thatcher when she replaced him as Conservative leader and later as PM. 

It's over - Brexit Wars - Part 2 - After Brexit 2

 Sky News: Reports " Boris Johnson signs Brexit trade deal after MPs give overwhelming backing for EU agreement...The House of Commons backs the agreement, struck between Boris Johnson and the EU on Christmas Eve, by 521 votes to 73  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Brexit Wars are over for NOW, 2024 is another matter or when the PM calls an election as the Government plans to revoke the Fixed term Parliament Act, about time too, the Cameron idea was a bad mistake, it revoked the ability of the PM to call an election when he or she wanted.  Thus for the future, the UK and the EU should have a good relationship, there will no longer be reason to go all negative on the EU, we are Sovereign States with a long history, and of course there is culture links etc.  The UK can now go out in the World and look for good trade deals, before the EU controlled the trade links, NOW we can discuss trade deals with the old Commonwealth and Southern Americas, that is the future of course.  Let's enjoy this moment, someone of us have been waiting 50 years for this to happen. 

Is OVER - Brexit - After Brexit 1

BBC News: Reports on the vote in the House of Commons, " A bill bringing the deal into UK law was backed by the Commons by 521 to 73 votes after Parliament was recalled. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus after decades it comes to and END, we are out of the EU as of 11pm tomorrow night, it will be 12am Brussels time.  The old arguments can be put away in till the General Election of 2024 when the Conservatives will paint Sir Keir as a remainer who will take the UK back in to the EU.  The Labour Party will really have to make it clear that they accept that we are out of the EU and they will not try to hoodwink the voter by saying one thing and doing another, going back in to the EU without a Referendum, it is going to take a few years before people believe Sir Keir really accepts the result.  The next question is WHAT NEXT, the UK Government has to make the UK a great place for business, outside of the EU, thus lower taxes and better government support. Business leaders might look to invest in Northern Ireland, best of both Worlds, still in the EU but also part of the UK, a great strategic place for business.
