US Debt ceiling - POTUS vs. The Republican House - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.30pm post the following,  " McCarthy says still 'far apart' with Democrats on debt ceiling......Despite encouraging signs from the White House over the weekend, the Republican speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, gave a gloomy assessment of talks on raising the debt ceiling  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a game the political parties play in the US System, depending on who is in the White House, the Administration puts out scare stories and this is carried by the media, the liberal CNN carries scare stories of what will happen should the US Congress not pass what the Administration wants, a clean debt ceiling rise, the World will fall apart, the US will fall apart if it does not deal with having a 32-33 trillion debt.  All Empires end either because they can not afford to be the World's policeman, as was the case with the British Empire after WW2, or in the Roman case, the coinage was devalued and there was mass immigration in to the Roman Empire.  The Republicans should call the Biden bluff, it will happen sooner or later, as some point the Bank Manager will make the call that  the US has to cut is budget, that means welfare but not defence as the US needs to counter China in Asia and the Russians in the Ukraine.  The Democrats spend like US taxes is their money, the fat lady will sing one day and it will all fall. 

Storm Shadows Cruise Missiles in Ukraine - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog:  Reports in its 7.30pm post the following, " Watch: Storm Shadows already in Ukraine....Earlier today, the UK announced it will send long-range Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine....But Sky News understands some are already in the country.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are not happy that the UK is giving long range cruise missiles to the KYIV Government, well its is their fault for invading the Ukraine and committing base WAR CRIMES from murder to rape and the missile attacks on the people of the Ukraine.  The Ukraine offensive is expected soon, the Kyiv Government needs to push the Russians back to the Crimea or back to Russia prober.  The Russians will do nothing, they have shown they make empty threats from nukes to other actions.  Putin is a WEAK War leader, no Stalin, and Stalin was not much of a war leader, he was hiding at his country house for the first week of the German invasion in 1941.   One does wonder why the West was afraid of the Russian Army, they have shown that they are useless and War Criminals. The invasion of the Ukraine is a stain on Russia, they have enough stains from other actions, the killing of the Tsar and his family in 1918, the Soviet period and the murders ordered by Putin. The Russians have to lose this WAR. 

Trump on CNN - Review - 2024 Candidate/Presidential Election 2024

BBC News: Reports " Trump CNN town hall: 'Nonsense' - Republican rivals blast performance......Donald Trump's hour-plus appearance on a cable news town hall forum on Wednesday night was barely over when his political rivals - both announced and prospective - began firing out tweets, statements and press releases attacking the Republican front-runner for next year's White House election.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has seen the Trump  Town Hall, either the former President believes his con job on numerous issues or he is insane, its a good defence for his Federal Trials that he faces.  The former President lied from the start with his infamous opinion that the 2020 Election was rigged in favour President Biden, that he could STOP the Ukraine War in 24 Hours and he would not say that Putin was a WAR CRIMINAL.  Thus the sole reason that this blog will support POTUS in 2024, he has stood firm on the Ukraine, that was not a given since his scandalous actions over Afghanistan.   There must be a Prosecutor other Republican candidate who can take Trump down.  Another Trump Presidency would be a disaster for the US and the West. 

Trump found GUILTY of sexual abuse in Civil Trial in New York - 2024 Candidate/ 2024 Presidential Election

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.10pm post the following, " Jury finds Trump sexually abused Carroll, awards $2m......A federal jury in New York City has found that Donald Trump sexually abused advice columnist E Jean Carroll and awarded more than $2m in damages, Reuters reports. However, the jurors did not agree with Carroll’s allegation that the former president raped her, according to Reuters.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Jury went with a split decision, thus Trump is not a Rapist, but is a sexual offender, we see how that plays out with the Republican voters, one can expect the liberal press to go to town on the issue.  The Republican leadership will have their ears to the ground to see how Republican voters see the result.   The Party of Ronald Reagan cannot have a sex offender as the nominee, the Trump Lawyers will appeal, and call the decision a political stunt as the Jury did not like Trump or his politics.  Even President Biden should be able to defeat Trump now, one does hope or is the US voter in 2024 going to place as a Sky News reporter called him a Sex Offender in the White House.   Then one must speculate are there others out there, we shall see!

Victory Day in Russia - Celebrating the Russian win over Nazi Germany - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 6.22pm post the following,  " What does Putin's speech tell us?...During his Victory Day speech in Moscow today, Vladimir Putin spouted his usual rhetoric, pinning the blame for the war in Ukraine on the West's "untamed ambitions, arrogance and impunity".....civilisation was once again at a decisive turning point and a "real war" had been unleashed against Russia.  "

Lets Get Real:

Victory Day in Moscow was a scaled back version, according to reports it only last 45 minutes and there was only one tank from WW2.  The Putin Kremlin did not allow the Regiment of the Immortals to go again this year, this is the people with images of their ancestors who fought and died in WW2.  The worry was that the people would bring images of their loved ones who did in the Ukraine War.  Putin must feel he is on very thin ice, he controls the media in Russia and the Russian people are feed his lies that the Ukraine Government is being run by Nazis, even though the President is Jewish.  One day the Putin Court will turn on him, he should be wary of the House of Special Purpose getting new guests, him and his War Criminal supporters.    Tyrants only end one way, badly, Putin has not learned that lesson.   How many will die before Putin smells the coffee. 

Trump's Alleged Rape before a Civil Jury - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Jury hears closing remarks in Donald Trump civil rape case..A lawyer for a writer accusing Donald Trump of rape in a civil trial urged a jury to hold the ex-president liable for the alleged assault.  "

Lets Get Real:

The result of the TRIAL can go three ways, Not Guilty, Guilty or the Jury cannot come to a decision, this blog will not cover the details of the charge, just the political results, as this is a NY Jury one has to assume they are Democrats or hate Trump, New York is a firm red state, the case should be heard somewhere else, but that did not happen.  Let's go for the most likely outcome, that is Guilty, the Republicans cannot have a Nominee who has been found Guilty of rape as their nominee, it would be a disaster for the Party, thus the Republicans have to find a new saviour, not as easy as it sounds, Trump has lowered the threshold of scandals, even found guilty one can expect that Trump will stay in the race, and his base will keep supporting him, he will claim that the Jury was biased.  The verdict is NOT GUILDTY, the Donald will be totally smug, and blast the liberal media for going with the story.  The end result would be that Trump would win the Republican nomination, in less he is charged with Federal Crimes due to his taxes and the sedation violence of January 6th.  The less likely option is that the the Jury cannot come a judgement, this Trump gets away with it again.  Interesting hours and days while the Jury makes its mind up.

Hunter Biden could face Federal Charges - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports " White House prepares for possible charges against Hunter Biden...Federal prosecutors’ investigation into possible crimes involving taxes and gun purchase appears near completion  "

Lets Get Real:

Hunter Biden is  a gift that keeps giving, if Mr Hunter Biden is charged it will place the President in a bad situation, does he allow his son to go to TRAIL, and being found guilty, that would force the President to PARDON HIS OWN SON  and sink his 2024 Campaign,  or does he ACT before, pardon his son and call it all political and then risk his fate in the hands of the voters in 2024.  The Republicans are going to enjoy this, if there are no charges, the will shout that the LAW protects Liberals but goes after Republicans, in many ways the Special Counsel has to bring charges or shouts of a Whitewash, the Biden poll numbers are in the toilet already, how bad can a PARDON BE, he might face a real challenge to the Democratic nomination, but it it late in the game.  This blog is only supporting Biden because of his support for the Ukraine, one has not forgotten Afghanistan and the threats form Russia, China, Iran, one hopes that there are no further crisis points, one doubts that Biden could handle more CRISIS POINTS, we shall  see over the next few months.
