Scotland and the EU - Post EU

Telegraph: Reports " The charts that show what Scotland thinks of Sturgeon's independence plans as 57pc back the Union "

Lets Get Real:

It is nice to see that Scottish people are more self aware than their First Minister.   The Scottish people do not want a 2nd Vote, the crumbling SNP argument is now that they won't join the EU but become side member, having to take ALL rules but not at the table to fight the Scottish cause, the SNP is afraid that Spain might block  full membership as it has it own Scottish problem.   So if the SNP gets its way Scotland would be OUT of the UK and the EU. The heavy boots of Paris and Berlin would decide the FATE of Scotland, did Scotland fight bravely in WW1, WW2 and other battles to be ordered by Berlin.   The SNP is phony, they can only sell one thing, and its a turd, a strong word but true.

Did President Obama Tapp President Trump - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " House intelligence chiefs: we have seen no evidence for Trump's wiretap claim..Republican Devin Nunes says he does not believe there was ‘an actual tap of Trump Tower’ as committee leaders say they are still waiting for evidence "

Lets Get Real:

The allegation by President Trump that he was tapped by President Obama was shocking, and thus far there is no evidence that this actually happened, so where did POTUS get the impression that he was bugged, as there is no back up to the claim the Oval Office needs to say sorry to President Obama.   There are many issues on which to attacks Obama, but he did not TAPP his successor.   The Oval Office has to learn that its remarks have real world reaction, it makes Trump look foolish to claim something that is not true, the Trump Administration is dealing with major domestic and international issues, it needs to be trusted, therefore POTUS needs to get his together and be PRESIDENTIAL.

The North Korean Crisis - Asia Developing

Daily Mail: Reports " The US prepares to 'incapacitate' Kim: USS Carl Vinson carrying huge fleet of fighter jets arrives in South Korea as military sources reveal plan to 'remove' Jong-un's war chiefs  "

Lets Get Real:

The Governments of the US and South Korea have to show a strong united alliance, they must make it clear to North Korea that any military action by them will be countered by a massive US action, they should make clear that this is not a bluff, that the threats from North Korea will not move the close alliance between the US and South Korea.   The question is WILL North Korea take any action, this blog doubts it, they must know that if they took military action of any kind it would be the end of them, they are much more interested in getting news headlines in the Asia and the West, they make demands for meetings, but have no real desire to talk, even China is getting peeved with them, the missiles tests and the illegal nuclear test causes worry in South Korea and Japan, this of course alarms the US, the new Trump Administration has to be forceful without being aggressive, North Korea is ALL BLUFF with no cattle, they are margin players in the real World.

SNP Starts to FALL APART - Post EU

Guardian: Reports " Nicola Sturgeon signals Scotland referendum could be held after Brexit..First minister indicates she could wait until after UK leaves EU in March 2019 if more time needed to confirm Brexit terms "

Lets Get Real:

The SNP is already falling apart, it can not control the date of a 2nd vote, in fact in can not control that there will be a vote, that is down to LONDON, and the Conservative Government should say that there will be NO discussions about a 2nd vote in till Brexit is finished, that could be around 2019 or 2020.   The SNP has made one mistake, it does not control the board, it does not control London or what the Scottish people want, it might be even reading its own speeches, that is always a BAD SIGN.   As this blog has argued there is no need for a 2nd vote, Scotland has voted and the SNP LOST, time to move on and make Scotland a better Country within the UK.

Scotland and the EU - Post EU

Daily Mail: Reports " Get to the back of the queue! Spain warns Sturgeon that Scotland will have to reapply for EU membership and adopt the euro if it votes for independence  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK Government should say NO to another Scottish Vote, they have already had one, and the people of Scotland SAID NO, which part of NO does the SNP not understand.   IF the UK Government does grant a 2nd vote it should be strict, it should be after Brexit, and 50% of all Scots must vote, and then get over 50% of the Vote.   The UK Government should make it CLEAR to Scotland, that if they vote YES, they lose the Queen, they lose the pound, also they lose the OIL.  In fact they should not  allowed to have their own security, it would be threat to the realm.  This blog does not care if the Scottish First Minister gets her knickers in a twist, London control events, not Scotland.   The good people of Scotland did not suffer through WW1 and WW2 to be lead by a phony.   Time for Union Scots to say no to the SNP, and this time LOUD and CLEAR.

Will ObamaCare be replaced - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " An estimated 14 million people would lose insurance coverage in 2018 under the new Republican healthcare plan, according to a budget analysis. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the left and liberal elites will come out against any change to ObamaCare, they do not care if it is falling apart, they just want to PROTECT the Obama Agenda.   The Republicans in the House and Senate should pass the replacement bill before the recess.   The reason is simple the Democrats will make sure that when members go home they will face trained left wing opponents in their local District and State meetings.    The Democrats do not play fair, thus the Republicans should push the new bill through, what is fair for the Dems is fair for the Republicans.

Trump on Syria - Trump Era

The New York Times: Reports on the latest developments in Syria and Iraq, " ...if Mr. Trump has decided on a new plan for defeating ISIS, it isn’t obvious. The missions underway in Iraq and Syria were set in motion by President Barack Obama. "

Lets Get Real:

The uber liberal NYT has a point when it comes to Iraq and Syria, one has to say that the foreign policy articles of the NYT are excellent, they are not tainted by a liberal framework.   The Trump Administration has been very quiet about Daesh in Syria, it has taken the Obama line of not talking about the subject, only a few news networks and papers, FOX, Washington Post, and the NYT has done items or article on the subject.  As a candidate Trump promised to kill off Daesh, thus far since taking office President Trump has kept very quiet on the subject.   What is the end game in Syria and Iraq, will there be more troops, and what is a WIN, questions that need answers.
