The Republicans + The Russians + 2016 Election - Trump Era

The Hill: Reports " House Intelligence chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said he has seen no evidence that Russia was trying to help President-elect Donald Trump win the White House. "

Lets Get Real:

The Republicans are not going to accept the Democratic Party's view of 2016 election as it undermines the Trump victory, thus in till the intelligence agency come to Hill and in OPEN session go through ALL the information they have the Republicans can argue the above.   The Democrats want to place a question mark near the Trump Victory, it helps them justify their loss in 2016.   They still find it hard to accept that HRC was a bad candidate and the loss in 2016 was more down to the strategy of the Democratic Party than the Kremlin in Moscow. 

Nixon + South Vietnam + 1968 Election - Nixon Era

The New York Times: Reports " Nixon Tried to Spoil Johnson’s Vietnam Peace Talks in ’68, Notes Show "

Lets Get Real:

The allegation is not new that Nixon in 1968 subverted the Paris Peace talks by telling South Vietnam to keep its distance from the talks.   The new information is from the notes of future Nixon Chief of Staff Halderman.    As stated in this blog and many others it has been argued that Watergate, the break in of the DNC in Washington D.C in 1972 was an attempt to see what the Democrats had on Nixon when it came to the stalled Paris talks of 68.    The then President Lyndon Johnson was aware of what Nixon was up to, he had him bugged, no one was clean when it came to the 68 elections.   In those days, the Parties did not have to worry about the Russians, they played by their own rules, the one rule was not to get caught.

Trump and North Korea - Asia Crisis in the Making

BBC News: Reports " In a tweet, the US president-elect derided the claim by North Korea's Kim Jong-un that preparations were in the final stage, saying: "It won't happen." "

Lets Get Real:

IF the North Koreans create an ICBM what will the Trump Administration do about it, have talks, were the North Koreans promise things and they does the reverse, try to get China to place pressure on NK, that has not worked.   Thus we come to the military option, could Trump order a military operation to remove the threat, that could be very dangerous, as NK has the bomb, and could react by attacking South Korea Capital, the Capital is not far from the border, or does it go for a ground invasion, how would the US react to a million North Koreans crossing the border.   One option is to arm the South Koreans and Japan with nukes, that would be a warning to NK to back off, they could not blackmail the region in the future, none of the above are easy, but doing nothing is not a option.

Trump on Russian Hacking - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " Incoming White House Communications Director Sean Spicer told "Fox & Friends" Monday that "there doesn't seem to be conclusive evidence" Moscow was behind the hacking of Democratic emails during the election. "

Lets Get Real:

What will it take with the President - Elect and his team, does he need a picture of Putin hacking from his personal computer, it was the Russians, the US intelligence services confirm that fact.   The Democrats are right in their demand that the Senate the investigate the links between the Russians and the Trump Campaign and business assets.   It push reality to think that Trump has some special knowledge that is correct and and in reverse what everyone else is telling him, what are business links and personal links of the President -Elect when it comes to Russia.

The Obama Legacy under THREAT - Trump Era

The New York Times: Reports " The most powerful and ambitious Republican-led Congress in 20 years will convene Tuesday, with plans to leave its mark on virtually every facet of American life.....and unraveling some of the most significant policy prescriptions put forward by the Obama administration. "

Lets Get Real:

The price of losing an election is seeing your Presidential legacy thrown in the bin, that is why Presidents entering their 2nd terms want their candidate to win the election.   Nearly all if not ALL of the executive action by President Obama will be thrown out, the Iran deal could be heading for the bin also.   The Democrats have not helped themselves in the Senate, they changed the rules as to allow 51 votes needed to pass a Cabinet nominee, the threshold for the Supreme Court is still 60, but that rule could be changed by the Republicans.   A Trump Presidency, it is still hard to write that, if I had written in 2015 that Trump would be the next POTUS I would have been laughed out of blog writing.  On the other hand in 2016 I did do a bet in the bookies that Trump would win, my political gut was telling me something that my brain could not accept.  Thus we have 19 days to go in till President Trump is in the Oval Office.

Trump Questions Russian Allegations - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Trump questions claims of Russian hacking: 'I know things others don't'..President-elect warns reporters on New Year’s Eve against being quick to pin blame on Moscow for the hacking of Democratic party emails "

Lets Get Real:

One has to question what do the Russians have on the Donald Trump, it is known that he has considerable assets in Russia, but do the old KGB have anything on the Trump, that sorley can be the only reason that the Trump is being stubborn about not believing the allegations that the Russians hacked the Democratic Party and HRC Campaign.    Who goes out on the line to protect President Putin in less they are under pressure or really has some information that no one knows about!!  This blog is starting to think the Democrats are right, never thought I would say that, the Senate should investigate the Trump links in Russia.    This is a fishy story, and the more that Trump is stubborn the more he is suspect.

Are the Clinton Days OVER ? - Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " The Clinton family's grip on the Democratic Party has come to an end and it's time for a new generation of leadership to lead the party, CNN political commentator Van Jones said. "

Lets Get Real:

This will go down like a lead balloon in the New York home of the Clintons, Bill Clinton could say that he won two terms as President, he knows something about winning, he told Al Gore to look after his home State, the Vice - President did not and then we had the Bush 43 Presidency with 9/11, Afghanistan,  Iraq and the War on Terror.   In 2016 the old Hound Dog told the HRC campaign to focus on the white, working class, the campaign did not listen and thus we have Trump Presidency to come.  If the Democratic Party goes LEFT, it will be out of power for years, the rust belt States are not going to elect a Communist just to please the New York Times liberal elite.   The Democratic Party is in a mess, were are the new JFK's or even Bill Clinton.
