Guantánamo Bay the Endless Prison - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Obama to leave office with more than 40 detainees still in Guantánamo Bay..A final handful of detainees will be relocated to new lives overseas but the facility will not be closed, a vow that was once a key aspect of Obama’s legacy "

Lets Get Real:

Gitmo should NEVER be closed, it should be kept open to take new terrorists, they are a constant threat to the US.   The new Trump Administration should carry on with the drone strikes, in fact increase them, get the lawyers out of the room and kill the terrorists.  If the terrorists can be captured they should be taken to Gitmo, waterboarding should be used to get information.   The lax Obama Administration was more interested in what the liberal NYT and the Guardian think, the main concern should be the security of the US and Europe, thus Daesh and Al Qaeda need to be destroyed, lives need to be saved, terrorists do not have rights.

The Defence Department vs. President Obama - Obama Era

Fox News: Reports " Outgoing Defense Secretary Ash Carter, as well as top U.S. Army leaders, recommended against President Obama commuting the bulk of Chelsea Manning’s 35-year prison sentence for leaking classified documents, a senior defense official told Fox News. "

Lets Get Real:

The Manning pardon by President Obama was a national disgrace, the liberal President could not help himself, he was throwing a bone to the LEFT, the US national security did not enter his mind.  There is no way of removing the pardon, but the new Trump Administration should make it clear that those release US national security secrets are traitors, and that the previous action by President Obama was a disgrace and will not happen under a Trump Administration.   One can only say that JFK and Reagan are turning in their graves, this would not have happened under their Administrations.

Obama leaves on high in polls - Obama Era

BBC News: Reports the high poll ratings of President Obama, " Separate polls conducted by The Washington Post/ABC and CNN/ORC both found Mr Obama with 60% approval. "

Lets Get Real:

This is a good poll rating to have at the end of two terms, it should be noted that Bill Clinton had 66% approval rating by Gallup in 2001, while Reagan had 63% in 1989, thus far the Gallup poll has not been published for Obama.   Of course Reagan had seen his VP, Bush 41 elected his successor, while Clinton saw his VP, Al Gore defeated by Bush 43, and Obama has seen the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton go down to Donald Trump.   The press really HATE the Trump, they are hardly objective when it comes to President Trump, let's hope the new President is very lucky and can produce results, if US is great again then the World is better off, if Trump is a disaster the World suffers, both in the economic and security field.

The POLLS are rigged AGAINST ME - President - Elect Trump

The Hill: Reports " President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday tweeted that approval rating polls are rigged against him as a series of polls show him with historically low approval as he enters office. "

Lets Get Real:

One can argue from the perspective of Donald Trump that he has a point, the general election polls ALL showed that Trump was behind Clinton, but he won, thus it can be argued that the sample used by the pollsters is OFF when it comes to Republican or Trump voters.   The President - Elect is not in power yet and his polls have taken a hit due to battles on the way to January 20th.   The real polls will be those taken after a few months of a Trump Presidency, then we should see how Trump stands with the US voter.  These pre January 20th polls do not count for much, lets see the numbers after a political or international crisis and how Trump responds, that will give a fair view the Trump Presidency. 

Donald Trump DOWN in CNN Poll - Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " Donald Trump will become president Friday with an approval rating of just 40%, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll, the lowest of any recent president and 44 points below that of President Barack Obama, the 44th president. "

Lets Get Real:

One does feel a bit sorry for President - Elect Trump, he has not gotten it office and his honeymoon has not even happened, its straight in to Partisan fight from the start, with the Russian dossier, the arguments with Democrats, it never ends.   The President - Elect must be looking forward to Friday as a day of rest in many respects, he will be President, he can move to the press to the Old Executive Building, just far enough away from the Oval Office to get some rest.  The speech on January 20th will be interesting, one is curious, will it make real news or just the usual speech for that kind of day.   The President could be tough on Iran and come out in firm support of Israel, that would annoy then former President Obama. Or will it be the usual speech of bringing people together etc, the usual rubbish.   That would be a mistake, the US voter in the belt way elected Trump to be different, let us see what happens. 

What the LEFT Really thinks - Polly Toynbee

Guardian: Reports " Enoch Powell from the grave has finally won – Brexiteer leaders are his direct inheritors. Where other Conservative leaders always saw off their little-Englander, closed-border right flank, she is the first to cave in. "

Lets Get Real:

The race is card was not slow in coming out, of course all those that supported to leave the EU are secret racists, who have a little England mind set, what rubbish from the Guardian LEFT.   The UK has the greatest Empire the World has ever seen, we know how to trade, the sea is in our blood.  The Soldiers who fought and died in two World Wars did not do so  to help in the creation of the EU, they died for King and Country.   The left is in pickle about the EU, the hard left see it as a business club that has no care about the workers and thus want out of the EU, while the Blair wing of the Labour Party, they do exist are firm EU supporters.   Then as mentioned in previous posts there are MPs from Brexit areas who are looking over their shoulders at how their voters voted in the EU vote.  It will be interesting to see how the final vote comes out, it will cause tensions within the Conservative and Labour Parties. 

Brexit means Brexit - Part 2 - Brexit Era

Daily Mail: Reports " 'No deal is better than a bad deal!' PM threatens to WALK AWAY from Brexit talks if the EU plays dirty as she declares we WILL quit the single market to control immigration "

Lets Get Real:

This is a great day, it's like having Lady Thatcher back in power, the glory days of the Conservative Party, just below when Churchill was in power during World War 2.   The Conservative Party has to be held together, those that support REMAIN will come out fighting for the EU sooner or later, even if now they are keeping their heads low.  The Conservative Government should expect support from those Labour MPs who represent Brexit hot areas, they will want to be seen as supporting the ideals of the voter.   The Liberal Democrats are nutty EU supporters, they represent the worse of the Guardian elite.   Thus PM May has to be tough, not give an inch, the UK is back as a great power.
