Trump's University Failure - Election 2016

Guardian - US Politics Live: Reports in its 5.41pm post the following, " Pittsburgh woman alleges $200,000 losses through Trump University..Pittsburgh’s WTAE reports that a local woman lost six figures through Trump University after she was assigned to a real estate coach with a criminal record (theft, drug distribution, sex solicitation) who convinced her to put money in a supposed fund of Spanish real estate that turned out to be a Ponzi scheme: "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump University disaster should be a warning to the US voter, the Donald promises BIG, but its Main Street that pays if the big Trump idea falls flat on its face.    The lack of Presidential covering by Trump shows that he is not fit for the Oval Office, does the US voter want to give the Oval Office of JFK and Reagan to a character that is thin skinned, always at war with the press, and does not have a level of self awareness to be President.   The Democrats should press Trump University from today till November, and the press should be harder on Trump, he is no Reagan. 

Trump and Taxes - Update

Telegraph: Reports " ...Trump has ignited controversy by revealing that charities set to receive donations raised when he skipped a Republican debate were asked to turn over documents relating to their taxes, despite the fact that he has refused to disclose his own tax documents. "

Lets Get Real:

The Clinton Campaign should be on Trump's taxes night and day, every other candidate in the modern era has released their taxes, why should the Donald be different, the elite press needs to go after his business dealings and those business with the Trump name that have gone belly up should be looked at, in great detail, the press would make a mistake to think that HRC has the Oval in her bag, she has not, she is VERY bad candidate, thus the press must do the job for her, in doing so it would be doing itself and the West a favour. 

Trump and the Press

Guardian - US Politics Live: Reports in its 8.43pm post the following, " Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump took aim at the political press at a news conference in New York earlier today, saying they were “among the most dishonest people” he has ever met. "

Lets Get Real:

The liberal press media are OUT to get Trump, and for once they have the right target, the bully, racist candidate is NOT FIT to be President, his foreign policy would be a disaster, he wants to weaken NATO and have better terms with President Putin of Russia.   What ever the long and they are long faults of HRC she wants the US to lead, she is more of a hawk than President Obama, after the dovish years of the Obama era we need a tough President. 

The EU Vote - Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Pound slumps after shock poll reveals a SEVEN point surge for Brexit as Leave campaign turns its fire on immigration "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the political elite have gotten their knickers in a twist over two polls, this is the prediction from this blog, the UK will remain in the EU, the margin of victory will be between 4% to 5%.  Let's be honest if the British had a vote as to IF the Romans should leave after the invasion of AD 43 they would have after a few hundred years voted to remain.   The British do not like to change, sometimes they have to be kicked in to change, thus the great role of Winston Churchill in getting the GB to fight Nazi Germany.   This blog does not like to be wrong.  This blog will be voting OUT, as it thinks its late father would have voted No again as he did in the 1970s. 

Update Falluja - Update

BBC News: Reports " Militants from the so-called Islamic State have launched a dawn counter-attack as Iraqi government troops push into the city of Falluja. "

Lets Get Real:

As noted by this blog and others the Allied attack on Falluja would be costly, the Daesh terrorist group is not going to give up without a fight.   Thus can hope that US and UK Special Forces are on hand to give advice to their Iraqi friends.  The hard part might not be getting in to the City, the hard part might be the IEDs left by Daesh and the humans taken as hostages.   It going to be a bloody slog, hard and violent, the Daesh terrorist group has to be buried.

Trump vs. Sanders, the Debate of the Century

Guardian - US Politics Live: Reports in its 8.45pm post the following, " Bernie Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver has declared that the presidential candidate is prepared to accept Donald Trump’s offer for an unprecedented bipartisan presidential primary debate. "

Lets Get Real:

IF this debate happens it could be the debate of the early part of the 21 Century, it would be interesting to see a extreme left winger, well a communist you could almost say up against a New York billionaire.     The HRC Camp must be fuming, Sanders and Trump would take press away from HRC, and she needs to pivot to the general election.   In political terms the debate does not matter, Trump is the Republican nominee and Sanders is going to lose to Clinton to become the Democratic nominee.   The fun would be the debate itself, it would be the DEBATE to see and bee seen there.    Only is the US could this happen and in 2016.

US Forces in Syria - Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Boots on the ground: U.S. Special Forces pictured fighting side-by-side with Kurds just 18 miles from ISIS capital Raqqa  "

Lets Get Real:

The background noise from experts is that it will take more US and allied troops to get rid of Daesh, but the limited use of forces with drones has been successful for President Obama. The Daesh terrorist group has been pushed back in Iraq and Syria, the main battle in Syria will be for the city of Raqqa the Capital for Daesh.   In the house to house fighting there will many deaths, lets hope the US special forces have enough troops on the ground to win.  In Iraq the main fight will be for Mosul, that will also be bloody, one hopes are with the Western and allied forces doing the fighting.
