Jeremy Corbyn and Brexit - Post Brexit

Telegraph: Reports " The Labour leader said his party was “not advocating” another vote on EU membership, but stopped short of ruling it out altogether.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn is trying to have all ways, he is afraid that if he goes too far in to the Remain Camp he will lose Labour voters in the North, if does stress Brexit then heh faces losing Labour voters in Southern England who support keeping the UK in the EU.   Thus far the media has allowed Corbyn to sail his own path, without giving a clear answer to his policy view of Brexit.   The Conservatives have to keep to Brexit means Brexit, it can not afford lose the electorate who has kept them in power.   Those rebel remainers have to be kept an eye on by the Chief Whip, if he or she is a decent good Chief Whip the remainers should be slightly afraid of getting the whip withdrawn.  It is going to be a long and bitter battle for Brexit means Brexit. 

China CAUGHT giving OIL to North Korea - North Korean Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " 'Caught RED HANDED': Trump attacks China over claims it is secretly supplying oil to North Korea in defiance of strict UN embargo  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the word of China can not be trusted, they have dishonoured themselves, their WORD is no good, the US Navy will have to move to make sure that China is not giving oil to North Korea.   The only way for a peaceful end to the North Korean Crisis is for CHINA to place ALL the sanctions on North Korea, this would force NK to come to heel.   By breaking their word to the UN and to the US the Chinese government has shown it can not be trusted.  The US must be at some point to take out the North Korean threat, tense New Year ahead.  This blog was wrong about one thing, it thought that NK would take some kind of military action after the new UN sanctions, it has not happened, it must be on some level that the sanctions are working. 

HRC vs. Vanity Fair - Post HRC Era

BBC News: Reports " A spokeswoman for Vanity Fair magazine has apologised after it published a "humorous" video suggesting Hillary Clinton should "take up knitting" rather than run for office again.  "

Lets Get Real:

There is something to be said for HRC running again, she is the most well known Democrat in the Country, Reagan had three attempts at the Presidency, he ran 1968 against Richard Nixon, he was  dark horse candidate, in 1976 he came close to unseatting a sitting President in President Ford, and he beat President Carter in 1980.  Of course the thought of HRC running again might dismay a majority of Democrats, there must be another JFK, Bill Clinton or Barack Obama in their ranks, someone new that can unite the different wings of the Democrat Party and can appeal to the rest of the Country, let us recall if it's Senators Sanders or Warren the combine age of the candidates would be over 140, not healthy for a Democracy. 

ObamaCare Plus Part 2 - Trump Era

The Washington Post: Reports " And now Republicans have created the worst of all possible worlds, at least from where they sit. They’ve only made Americans more insecure about their health care, they’ve pushed the Democratic Party to the left, and they’ve brought the arrival of a universal system based on government insurance closer than it ever was.  "

Lets Get Real:

As stated in my first post on this issue, the Trump move to get rid of the individual mandate means that those that are poor will be covered by other US Medicaid support, the anger about individual Mandate will no longer be an issue, the Democrats should not jump for joy just yet, if most people who are worried about the costs are on Medicaid then the problem goes away.   The problem with the individual mandate was that it forced Americans to buy medical cover, as these regulations no longer stand, then the issue will go away as people extend Medicaid to those that are in need, also for the most part employers give their workers medical cover, so you remove the need for the Government to create more worries for people.   The advice to be careful for what you ask for comes to mind. 

ObamaCare becomes more like the NHS - Trump Era

The New York Times: Reports " By ending the tax penalty for people who do not have coverage, beginning in 2019, Republicans may hasten the flight of customers who now pay the full cost of their insurance. Among those left behind under the umbrella of the Affordable Care Act would be people of modest means who qualify for Medicaid or receive sizable subsidies for private insurance.  "

Lets Get Real:

As stated by this blog in a recent post, it does not have a problem with the community tax being used to pay for those that need health cover, in fact it can be argued that Candidate Trump in many ways stated that himself, one does wonder did Candidate Trump really think about it, by removing the Individual Mandate in his tax cut bill the Trump Oval has removed one of the major negative aspects of ObamaCare, thus if you trust the uber liberal NYT might have helped ObamaCare morph in to a greater Medicaid scheme.   Of course time will tell with ObamaCare, on the international front there is the Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, what will the US Congress do about it, the Trump Oval has shoved the problem to them, will they confirm or revoke the deal, that should be an interesting debate next year.   Thus it can be argued that in his own way Trump has saved ObamaCare plus for the future. 

North Korea and WMD - North Korean Crisis

Telegraph: Reports " Anthrax antibodies detected in blood of North Korean defector, raising biological weapons fears "

Lets Get Real:

One has to think that North Koreans Regime would be MAD to launch a WMD attack on US Forces in South Korea, any such attack by the Little Rocket Man would lead to the Trump using ALL FORCE to remove such a threat.   Thus far at the end of the year the North Korean Regime has been ALL HOT AIR over the UN sanctions, stating that it is a declaration of War but doing nothing, one has to think that the North Korean Regime is all sound meaning nothing, they would be MAD to have an above ground nuclear test for their nuclear device, the Trump Oval would have to ACT,   The best policy by the South Koreans and the West is to do nothing, let them roar, they annoy but are not MAD. 

Brexit Row BACK - Post Brexit

You Lucky people your favourite subject is back BREXIT 

Guardian: Reports " Labour voters could abandon party over Brexit stance, poll finds..Party urged to clarify policy as poll finds more than half of Labour voters oppose leadership backing Brexit  "

Lets Get Real:

The uber elite of the left wants to remain in the EU, they want to reverse Brexit, the problem is that Jeremy Corbyn needs to be out of the EU if his left wing agenda is to work in government, there are EU rules about Central Government funding industries, as Corby wants to take water, electricity and communications under government control.   The Labour Party's success in the polls is down to the fact that both pro and leavers see the Labour Party as being on their side, if Corbyn comes out for stay in the EU he faces losing Labour voters in the heartland, also Wales VOTED OUT OF THE EU, so listening to the Welsh Assembly is not a good idea, well listening to them at any time is a BAD IDEA.   Thus expect hard Brexit fights next year, only a year and three months to go before the UK is out of the EU.
