President Carter on POTUS - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

Are the Democrats trying to get Trump re-elected in 2020, they want to give medical cover to illegal migrants, they want to abolish private health care, and now there is one of the WORST Presidents in US history, Jimmy Carter attacking POTUS.   One only has to recall the 1977 - 81 period and a shiver goes down one's spine, Carter without question is one of the worse Oval Office holders ever, the economy was in the tank, unemployment was high, then we come to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the US hostages held in Iran for 444 days.  When Reagan was sworn in as President, the sun came out, the hostages were returned, and Reagan bought tax cuts, cuts in welfare, increase defence spending, at the end  of his two terms, US inflation was down, unemployment was low, the Cold War was over, as Lady Thatcher said Reagan had won the Cold War without firing a shot.   The USSR started to leave Afghanistan, the Berlin Wall came down, Eastern Europe was free of communism, in 1991 the USSR dissolved  President Carter should really be quiet, he is not helping the Democrats. 

Harris BACKTRACKS over abolishing Private Health Cover AGAIN - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

This is called a political clean up, Senator Harris has become a potential Democratic nominee, thus she and her campaign should expect her role as a prosecutor to come under firm scrutiny also what she says in debates.   By lifting her HAND to support getting rid of private health cover she has given the Republicans an issue to clobber the Democrats with, they will ALL be asked if they want to throw millions of Americans off their private medical cover, this issue could cost them the election, one only has to recall that President Obama stated if you liked your Doctor you could keep him/her, that turned out not to be true with ObamaCare.  VP Biden also raised his hand, does that mean that a President Biden, will throw millions of American off their cover, time for damage limitation by the Biden Camp.  POTUS is having fun at the cost of the Democrats. 

Is Kamala Harris the next President of the United States ? - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

Before we start getting used to saying President Harris ( easier that Mayor Pete' surname ) there is a LONG PROCESS to go, one good debate does not make it a White House win.  It was interesting in a CNN panel of voters from Iowa, the lone supporter of Biden was an African - American voter, and Biden has a massive lead with African - American voters, they know what they are getting with Biden, Senator Harris will have to claw them to her side, this means having a good performance in Iowa and NH in 2020.  Senator Harris has to show that she can win the white vote in States that are not California, thus if she can do this then African - American voters can see that she is safe pair of hands and can win a general election against Trump.  The one negative she has to face it the fact that she supported getting rid private insurance of a majority of Americans and giving medical cover to illegal migrant, she has to roll that back or she will not win, or the House could go back to Republicans and the Senate would remain a solid Republican chamber, thus blocking her Agenda if she gets to the White House.  It June 2019, not June 2020!


The Day VP Joe Biden LOST the Democratic Nomination ? - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

TV political commentators on CNN gave the debate to Senator Harris, it was the right call.   The Senator who was a prosecutor in a previous career eat Joe Biden's lunch.  It was moving to hear her story about being the second class of her school to be bussed to a majority white school.  The fact that Joe Biden argued against bussing in the 1970s did not help, his reaction was BAD, he stated that he did not have a problem with bussing itself, but that it should be State issue, not a Federal Government issue.  If you repeated that statement without telling someone who the source was you would think it was George Wallace from the 1960s.  Senator Harris stated she did not think Biden was a racist, in other words she was calling him a racist.   It can be postulated that if Biden become the nominee he will not be asking Harris to be his VP.   Of  course that assumes that Biden will be the nominee, how can African - Americans support a candidate who affirms State rights over Federal rights, if you follow that logic, the old South would still be around, and so would their racist views.  At the end of the test back and too with Harris, Biden stated " My time is UP, " one can see the political adverts already.   Also the Democrats in the debate stated that they would give health cover to illegal migrants, Harris stated she would support getting rid of private health cover, that COST her the nomination and the election. 

It was interesting to see how individual voters in Iowa thought about the 2nd debate, they gave the debate to Harris and Mayor Pete, but overall they had not decide who they were going to vote for.   This good people of Iowa and NH expect their candidates in their living room when it very cold outside, to discuss the issues.  This is a LONG RACE, there will be other DEBATES, if the nominee is Warren, then Trump can sleep his way to a 2nd term, she is to FAR LEFT, Biden is their only hope.

Labour's antisemitism problem - Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party


The above is why Jeremy Corbyn is unfit to be the next British PM, when you allow the perception that a political party is anti Jewish it allows those who are actually racists to come out of the shadows.   It has been noted that Labour MP and former Labour MPs have come under attack because they are of the Jewish faith, a political party has to be ruthless with these people and throw them out of the Party.   This blog does not know what is in the heart of Chris Williamson, only the MP is knows that, thus does not have a view on the issue of Mr Williamson and if he the whip should be removed from him.   The problem with the left is that they are anti Israel and its policy towards the Palestinian people, thus are highly critical of Israel.  The scourge of antisemitism has to be driven out of mainstream politics.   The Labour Party should learn what happened in Weimar Germany when Hitler was not stopped, political chaos builds rebellion, and the failure to get Brexit through could cause great political damage. 

The Democratic Debates - Round 1 - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

CNN had a panel of Democratic voters who have not made their minds up of who to vote for, at the end of the debate they still had not made up their minds, but when asked who they thought had a good night, three names came up, Warren, Booker and Castro.  The loser was Beto O' Rourke, the golden boy of the Democratic Party was seen to have fleet of clay, he was taken out by Castro.  The issue was if migrants should be charged with a criminal offence should they cross the border or make it a civil issue.   The BIG DEBATE is tonight, former VP Biden is up against Senator Sanders and Mayor Pete and and numerous other candidates.   The view of this blogger is if any of the first debate team win the White House you will need LSD to keep awake, they were so BORING, even POTUS stated that in a tweet.   None of them came up with a pithy line, such as Reagan's 1980 line to a debate moderator, " Mr Green I am paying for this microphone " or his 1984 line to Walter Mondale, " I will not use my opponent youth and inexperience against him "

Boris on Brexit - Conservative Leadership Contest - Brexit will NEVER HAPPEN!


Lets Get Real:

One does wonder if the Boris Johnson campaign expected their guy to get  himself in to trouble with a domestic with his other half, thus the move to say that the UK will be out of the EU by October, deal or no deal.  The REMAIN press, TV and print are very hostile, more than they are normally to Conservatives.   The elite establishment see the Conservative contest as a way to derail Brexit, either forcing the Conservatives to stay within the EU or get another Brexit vote via the Labour Party winning the next general election.   The elite political establishment only believe in DEMOCRACY if they agree with it, this is why we had appeasement in the 1930s.  The future of UK democracy is at STAKE, we have to leave the EU. 

Trump is CRITICAL of Iran - Iran Crisis - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

Iran does not respect WORDS, it respects POWER and the use of POWER, the lack of action by the Trump Oval has shown that POTUS is a weak and feckless President. Thus one can expect Iran to take further action, sanctions and cyber warfare does not work with the Tehran Government.   The lack of follow through by Trump when it comes to Iran and North Korea show that POTUS really does believe that the US should not be the Leader of the World after the end of the Cold War, what would have past Presidents have thought.  The fact that the left in American politics supports the fact that POTUS did not take military actions shown that the Reagan Republican Party has surrendered to the Trump ideology of American First and the rest of the World can go to thell.  One does hope that the Democrats select a liberal on domestic issues but a hawk on foreign policy, other wise PAX American is over.

Trump on Iran - Iran Crisis - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

POTUS has shown that he is a busted bluffer, the minute he decide not to attack Iran when they shot down a US drone has shown that Trump is all HOT AIR and is a a weak DOVE.  The President of the United States is the most powerful man in the World, the reason is that past Presidents have followed through with threats of US power to protects its interest.   The theocracy in Tehran NOW KNOW that Trump will no take action, thus they can take pot shots at US interests and the White House will not do a thing about it.  The Democrats can double political shots at Trump, that he withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal signed under Barack Obama and was weak in his reaction to the drone being shot down.  The lack of action could lead North Korea to do another nuclear test or try one of its ICBM's over US interests.    Trump makes Presidents Kennedy and Reagan look even greater, even Carter looks better after Trump. 

Remainer MPs do not believe in Democracy - Brexit Update 1


Lets Get Real:#

This blog says, let them to their worse, they have been blackmailing the Conservative leadership since the 2016 vote, they do not understand that they were on the  losing side, 17.4 million people voted to leave the EU, and we have REMAINER MPs would wish to turn the block back, they are NOT DEMOCRATS, they are part of the political and media elite who think the voters are idiotic plebs who should do as they are told.  IF Boris does become PM he should go to the Country, with a simple, NO DEAL MANIFESTO, and only allow Conservative MPs to stand if they support the manifesto a 100%.  Let's call these political backstabbers out, they have ended their own careers, so not worth losing sleep over, they will go back to their elite jobs, and allow the people to decide the future of the UK. 

The Boris Show, Part 2 - Update 2 - Conservative Leadership Contest

Sky News: Reports " Supporters attack 'harassment' of 'united' Johnson and girlfriend..Nadine Dorries and Priti Patel supported the leadership candidate after his argument at home dominated the weekend's campaigns.  "

Lets Get Real:

One would think that there was nothing going on in the World at the moment, what Iran Crisis you may ask!, that should be the MAIN story on the news, and what do we get, a domestic blown out of proportion by the REMAIN MEDIA, the media and political elite do not want BREXIT, they drink from the same water, political life corrupted by the EU.  It is reported in the media that Conservative MPs have threatened to bring down the Government if there is a no deal plan by Boris, well I say let them, then they will be out in the open, their Conservative Association can de-select them and the voter can decide in a General Election who they want to represent them.   The political elite is out of control, we need a fresh election to get rid of this Remainer Parliament and its Speaker. 

The Boris Show - Update - Conservative Leadership Contest


Lets Get Real:

The REMAIN supporting media, TV and Press have been all over the Boris bust up with his other half, they FEAR Boris so much that they are throwing everything including the kitchen sink at him.  Let's be honest, we ALL have had a domestic with our better half, women are fantastic, they tend to be kinder, with more intelligence, and pick up the pieces when things go wrong.  On the other hand they can be the most annoying people on the planet, they nag ( sometimes to much ), they think they know better ( they can be WRONG ) and they think that you should say sorry for something specific when you are saying sorry for breathing.   It is called the Battle of the Sexes, it has been since the dawn of time and the first cavemen become a hermit to avoid the wife or partner.  Boris should refuse to answer about his personal life, it is none of our or their business, if every row you have had with your half was on the daily papers no one would get hitched, hooked up or a combination of the two.  Here endeth the LESSON.

Biden's foot in mouth of racist Senate Friends - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

One can not believe that former VP, Joe Biden does not get the fact that by calling two racist Senators civil he is stepping on his own civil rights record.  The question is WHY is he doing it, it seems from reports that his staff have tried to tell him not to use these examples, but he goes on, and wants an apology from those that have called him out on the subject.  Even with these stories and the his Creepy Joe nickname that came about his touching women in a non assault way his polls are still good, he is the front runner.   Is Joe Biden the Democratic Donald Trump, nothing he does cuts his poll lead in the Democratic field.   The Democratic Presidential Debates will start soon, will the other Democratic candidates take Biden on about this subject, his Senate days with racist Senators, also his opposition to busing ( it was big in the 1970s ).   How can Biden attack Trump on being a racist when he hung around with racists and call them civil.   The COLD of Iowa and NH should see how Biden is with the voters, his campaign can not hide him from the voters, if they do Trump will have a field day on the campaign. 

Biden ATTACKS Trump on Iran Crisis - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

The above shows how bad the decision by POTUS was when it comes to Iran, the day that Biden can look tough makes for a very mixed up World. It should be noted as it was by Obama's first Defence Secretary Robert Gates that while Vice President to President Obama, Biden tried on numerous occasions to thwart Obama's surge in Afghanistan. The surge was not helped when Obama stated when the end of date of the surge would be, thus telling the enemy just to wait in till the US left Afghanistan. As noted in previous posts by this blog, the Republicans were seen as the Party of national security, the appeasement of Iran by Trump makes the modern Republican Party look like the Conservatives who in the 1930s supported the appeasement policy of the National Government under Neville Chamberlain. One does feel sometimes that one is living in the TV series Life on Mars, and Trump is Gene Hunt!!

There is a COWARD in the WHITE HOUSE!! - Iran Crisis - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

It has been fun seeing CNN trying to find a way to be critical of Trump when they agree with what he has done, the same with the Democrats.   The title of this post gets to the POINT, POTUS is gun shy, he promised during the 2016 election not to go to War in the Middle East, the problem is that this weakness by Trump places the US in bad light.   The US looks weak due to a feckless and weak President.   The Republican Party used to be the Party for security, what are the hawks within the Party and the White House going to say, they have elected the WORST President since Jimmy Carter.  One would not be shocked if North Korea had another nuclear test or tried one of its  ICBM's after Trump's disaster when it comes to Iran.  As Nixon said in 1970, when the US is weak, the enemies of the US come out to play, thus expect trouble from Iran, North Korea and Russia.

What happens behind the OVAL OFFICE Door - Iran Crisis - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

The FACT that the US has not acted on the US Drone getting shot down shows a WEAK President, the Tehran Regime has shot down a 110 million drone, not money you find behind the sofa.  One has only to look at how the Reagan Oval dealt with such issues in 1987/88, they took action, and let's recall Bush 41 went on to win the 1988 Presidential Election even after Iran - Contra, due to the popularity of the Gipper, it was seen as his third term.  If the Trump White House does not act, then Democrats can show that they are strong on defence, that never happens!! Also let's also remember that as Citizen Trump, POTUS opposed the Reagan policy when it came to defending the Tankers in the persian Gulf.  A weak President will be a rollover for Iran and North Korea, the US might have elected a DOVE( that is being nice ) to the White House.  JFK and Reagan looking down must be horrified. 

Biden's FOOT IN MOUTH when it comes to Race Relations - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

Thus folks you see why VP Biden has a foot in mouth problem, these days in the Democratic Party you have to HATE the Republicans, it's not like LBJ having fierce battle with Republicans in the Morning, and in his view calling him everything under the SUN, then having a drink together in the Evening to get a DEAL on his Agenda.  Those running Democrats running for President know that you have to deal with the other side if you want to get  a bill through the US Senate, in less you have a majority of over 60.   They are playing games, they want to cut away the African - American support for Biden, thus they are using the race card, Biden was right to say Senator Booker should say sorry to him, not the other way around.   Let's recall Ronald Reagan called Biden a smooth demagogue in his diaries, thus the VP should not be to moralistic about what others say about him.  The Democratic race for President is going to be a very LONG AND BITTER race, and it's only June 2019.

Escalation to a Naval War between the US and Iran - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

This is a REAL TEST for the Trump Oval, does President Trump ACT or does he become another Barack Obama and let it go, he has already stated that he thinks it might not be a Tehran Regime decision to shoot down the US drone, thus giving himself a out if he wants it, that will not go down well with the HAWKS in the White House and the Republican Party.  The President should think what JFK or Reagan would have DONE.  The American people can put with a lot, but a WEAK President on the international front will not help his 2020 election prospects.   If the Trump Oval does act, it might be on the Seas, take down a few Tehran small boats, or platforms, make it clear the next time that it will be worse.  The Congressional leadership will be meeting with POTUS this evening, let's see what happens after that.  

Boris is the MAN TO BEAT - Conservative Leadership Contest


Lets Get Real:

This blog was right by two votes, that Michael Gove was toast, the drugs revelations did not help, also the Conservative Party did not need the psycho battle of a Johnson vs. Gove match up, in 2016 Gove stabbed Boris in the back, this is not new in political history, Ed Miliband stabbed his older Brother David in the back to become Labour Leader ( a pointless thing to do, as he did not win the following General Election ).  The contes between Boris and Hunt should be civil, Hunt is the underdog, the Conservative base is VERY PRO BREXIT, so Hunt if he wants to WIN will have to out BREXIT Boris, do not see that happening, Hunt will want to keep his job as the Foreign Office, thus the contest should be BORING for the press.   If the Party had adults in the room, the underdog would step down and allow BORIS to become PM a little bit early, but that is not going to happen, egos these days are frail.   This blog is supporting Boris, he will bring some fun back to UK politics and put the Brexit Party back in its box.

Thus the Trump Re-Election Campaign starts in Florida - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

It can be postulated that Trump if he gets re-elected with not have a 49 State victory that Nixon had in 1972 and Reagan had in 1984.   Before liberal pundits start to point out that Biden is leading in a number of states should recall that Bill Clinton never won over 49% of the vote in either 1992 and 1996, it is about the electoral college, and as this blogger has noted in one of those polls, Ohio, Biden only lead by 1%.  Let's recall that Trump won Ohio by near 10% in 2016 and there is a long year to go before we get in to the general election.    The Democrats have not had their debates yet, and if Warren who is on a surge at this moment wants to be the nominee she will have to take down Biden, the same for Sanders.   VP Biden has a VERY LONG record, and it will be open to attack, no one thought that Trump would win in 2016, thus readers should be wary of those that say the race is OVER, sometimes when watching or reading the liberal press one gets the idea that they want to jump the Primaries, that do not start in till 2020, the candidates have yet been in the COLD of Iowa and NH. Long way to go folks. 

Millions to be DEPORTED by order of POTUS - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

The Trump Oval is going to the extreme RIGHT, he worried that former VP, Joe Biden could beat him in the rust belt States. This move by Trump will be watched closely by the liberal media, any pics of of families being separated will lead the new coverage, it is BAD POLITICS and it is not right. Let's recall President Reagan gave amnesty to millions of illegals in 1986, he understood the importance of their presence in the community and the workforce. Here is a statement from the White House in 1988, " Just over a year ago the President signed into law the most sweeping immigration reform in more than three decades. Among the provisions of the new law was a generous legalization or amnesty provision that allows persons who are unlawfully in the United States to become legal residents if they meet certain requirements.
There are so many lessons that Trump could LEARN from President Reagan, a great President. 


The Conservative Party Race for the LEADERSHIP and PM - End of the May Era


Lets Get Real:

It seems that the Conservative members understand what DEMOCRACY is meant to be about, while the ELITE POLS have forgotten that little FACT.   The Conservative members want OUT of the EU, and Tomorrow would be not FAST ENOUGH.   The Conservative leadership race is for Boris to lose ( everyone knows who you are talking about when you say BORIS ), he can take the fight to the Labour Party and other opposition parties.  If Boris Johnson wins the leadership he has to deliver BREXIT, that is the only policy that matters, let's see if the good ship Boris can avoid being another RMS Titanic or RMS May!

More US troops to the MIDDLE EAST - Tankers Wars - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

The US could be getting ready to take action should IRAN break its part of the nuclear deal.  It would be better for the US to take action rather than its ally Israel, an Israeli attack would blow up the region and lead to a war between Israel and Iran.  The Israeli Government has a history of taking out possible threats, it bombed Iraq in 1981 and Syria in 2007 as they were building a nuclear structure.   Also let's be honest here, a good short War could help Trump in the polls, it would show that he is a STRONG LEADER, and will take action.   As the above article suggests any conflict between the US and Iran will take place at sea, very much like the tanker wars of the 1980s, when Reagan gave the order to take out Iranian Threats to US naval ships in the region.   The question is does Trump have the guts of the Gipper to take action.

Trump on Iran, Part 2 - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

Thus NOW that the Trump Oval has draw a red line over the attack on oil tankers what will the US do, will Trump be like President Reagan who took action in 1987/88 when tankers came under threat from Iran or will be like President Obama who drew a red line over the use of WMD and Syria and did not follow up.  The Tehran Regime will be looking carefully at the reaction of the Trump Oval, if they see WEAKNESS they will attack more, the Trump sanctions on Iran is WORKING, but if Tehran sees weakness they will play down the clock, in the hope that the Democratic Nominee will beat Trump in 2020, someone like Mayor Pete who wants to return to the Obama nuclear deal with Iran.  Politics and the real world often clash. 

Also let's be very honest here, a short sharp WAR with Iran would be good for the Trump poll numbers, it's the right policy call and good politics, as long as IRAN does not draw the US in to a long term ground war.  That is what the Tehran Regime wants, what it does not want is the  US using Tehran as a practice for the mother of all bombs, sanctions and bombing could finish the Regime.  The heavy sanctions are bringing the Tehran Regime to its knees, it just needs an extra push. 

Is the US at the Brink of WAR with Iran? - Trump Era

Lets Get Real:

Let's see if the Trump OVAL does something, in the late 1980s the Reagan Administration re - flagged oil tankers as to allow for US protection of oil tankers after they came under attack from Iran, also attacked Iranian assets in the region*. At present there is a naval carrier fleet in the Gulf, will they take the fight to Iran, or will they just try to prevent naval attacks by Iran.   The Trump Oval so far is ALL TALK, it has sent out conflict messages when it comes to its armed forces, on the one hand Trump wants to remove US forces from the region, but due to the threat from Iran it has increased its forces in the region.  The World will see if President Trump has a backbone, will he just use rhetoric or actually take action as the great Gippper did in 1987*.

Boris for PM - Conservative Party Election - End of the May Era


Lets Get Real:

The Conservative race is for Boris Johnson to LOSE, thus on the whole he has had selected interviews and today's launch of his campaign.   It was reported in today's Telegraph that a poll shows that with Boris as PM, the Conservative Party would win the next election with a 140 seat majority.   The Johnson Campaign has to ram this down the throats of Remain MPs IN the House of Commons, whatever they do, the next Government can undo, and if these MPs want to be selected as Conservative MPs they will follow the Party line.   It is time for the Johnson Campaign to be very ruthless, not play games with the HARD REMAINERS, just tell them they can be part of the next Government or they can freeze in hell before they get be a Conservative MPs again or be given a peerage or a cush job on a government body.  The Johnson campaign should make FU ( original UK version of the House of Cards ) happy, do what it takes to win. 

Mayor Pete's so LIBERAL Foreign Policy - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

Mayor Pete ( good brand name to start his Presidential Career ) will not be the Democratic Nominee for President, he is a weak as dishwater, he wants to return to the US/Iran nuclear deal, wants Congress to take more of a role in US Foreign Policy, and he is going on about climate change.  After Iraq the Foreign Policy elite in the US have become gun shy, what happens should Iran go for the bomb, are they going to sit on their backsides while Israel comes under threat, Daesh and Al Qaeda must be wishing for a Mayor Pete Presidency, he has learned the WRONG lessons of his tour of duty, because your good soldiers does not make fit to be President, he is like Obama, telling the enemy what he wants to do, such a pity Pete could have been a contender, but he has blow it already.  This liberal rubbish might work with the Dem base, but will fold when faced with reality.   Iran could become an issue before 2020!

Trump vs. Biden Part 2 - Iowa speeches - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

As the above article notes President Trump won Iowa in 2016 and will want to make sure that he does not lose the State in 2020, while Biden wants to run a general election strategy before even a vote has taken place in 2020.  One has to say in pure politics the strategy by Trump works better, there is a slim chance that he will face real opposition in the Republican nomination fight, while Biden has to beat a dozen other candidates for the Democratic nomination.   The biggest weakness by Biden is his record, from abortion to his support of the the crime bill in the 1990s. The Crime Bill is seen to have hurt ethnic minority population more than whites, this issue will come up over the next year, if the uber left wing candidates want the nomination they will have to tackle Biden about his support for the bill when he was  Senator.  It still a long way before Iowa votes in 2020. 

Trump vs. Biden - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

From watching the video footage on the BBC you would think that Trump is running in the Democratic race to be President and VP Biden thinks that Trump is his main challenger in the Democratic race.   It seems that POTUS can not allow the Democratic race to go on without taking part himself.   This is risky for both Trump and Biden, for POTUS the problem is that it elevates Biden to be his main challenge, while for Biden he faces numerous Democratic candidates who are taking free pot shots at him from the left.   If the Trump Campaign really think that Biden will be the main challenge then they are following the 1996 strategy of Bill Clinton who framed Senator Bob Dole before the General Election.   The problem is what if Biden does not get through the primaries and the Trump campaign is faced with a extreme liberal, they have to reset their campaign strategy and frame the election for a new candidate.  And it only June 2019 folks.

The Martin Luther King Jr Tapes - Part 2 - Civil Rights ALSO covers Women


Lets Get Real:

This blog did wonder how the liberal elite in the US would deal with issue of the Martin Luther King Jr Tapes, thus the above attack article, if you do not want to fight on the issue go after the sources.   Hoover really hated Martin Luther King Jr, that is no secret and did spy on him, the question is what do the tapes say, according the essay on them the transcripts showed that King watched a rape and had numerous affairs.   The Liberal left has a problem after the development of the #MeToo movement, do they rubbish King and take down his monument ( they are in to that ) or do they try to bury the story.   One is surprised that President Trump has not released the tapes, really force liberal Democrats to keep to their agenda.   The release of the tapes would clear up the story, did the FBI agents fake the transcript of the conversations, if so the tapes can been burned or released to show how the FBI tried to smear a Great American, on the other hand, what if they are REAL, liberal media elite would have nervous breakdown, one is almost daring Trump to release the tapes either way history would KNOW, and the truth shall set you fee!!

Is this the start of the Biden Campaign coming back to Earth or Iowa! - Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

The Biden Campaign has not had a good week, it has seen the candidate flip flop over abortion, first saying that he not believe in Federal funding of abortion, then after holding that view for decades he change his mind because the extreme left of the Democratic Party wants abortion on demand and funded by the State.  It seems principal does not matter to Catholic Biden, he will say or do anything to become the next President of the United States.  The abortion on demand demand might not go down well with the rust belt States, also LIBERALS must ask how wedded is Biden to any policy.   The Democratic Debates are going to be interesting, do the more left wing candidates go after Biden, this might be their only chance with the extreme left of the Party.   The Biden " Rose Garden Strategy " has fallen to Earth, he is having to fight in the political trenches, this is his only chance to be POTUS, after failing twice before. 

The END of Michael Gove - Part 2 - Conservative Leadership Contest


Lets Get Real:

All the Monday papers are going with the Gove story, as the above article states the youthful actions of Gove might not matter, but his double standards sounds like pleading from the urban elite that their past CRIMES do not matter, while others have been sent to the big house.  As stated by this blog, Gove is political toast, it would be better for him to get out of the race NOW, and support someone will give him a cush Cabinet post, well at least a promotion to Foreign Secretary or Chancellor.   The British voter can almost forgive anything, with the exception of being two faced about drugs or beating your dog, let's be honest a dog beating is more serious than taking drugs.   There will many voters in the UK who have seen a friend or member of their family been thrown in jail, for what Gove has stated that he was lucky not to go jail, while writing an article that was critical of the middle class for taking drugs. GOVE = TOAST = POLITICAL DODO. 

Is this the END for Michael Gove? - Conservative Leadership Contest


Lets Get Real:

If Michael Gove had admitted to drug use in a interview off his own bat that would be one thing, he was admitting it because the scandal was going to come out in a book about him.  In simple terms Gove is toast, the Conservative Party leadership suspicious of him already over his Brexit stand will not be so forgiving, they tend to be older and white, they will think that Gove is two faced, on the one hand as a reporter coming down hard on those in the middle class who took drugs, while taking the same substance himself.   Monday ( Today ) is the day for Conservative nominations, it will be interesting to see how many MPs ENDORSE Gove, needs over 8 to get on the list, how many of those want to be attached to a losing candidate.   Politics is a brutal game, a loser is a loser, also as a Minister Gover supporting the banning of teachers if they were caught with drugs, so different rules for politicians would be a nightmare to spin.

Will the NEW PM face a No Confidence Vote? - Why NO BREXIT ?


Lets Get Real:

It will be interesting if Labour places a No Confidence motion before the House, will the Change ( Tigs ) MPs and those that have recently left the Party vote for their own political demise by forcing an election.  Also will the MPs from leave Seats want to explain why they voted to bring down the Government that will bring about BREXIT.   Also let's get honest here, does Corby really want to debate BORIS, think about that, BORIS will tear him a new backside on national TV.  Of course Remain Conservative MPs could bring down the Government, it would mean the END OF THEIR POLITICAL CAREERS, there would be no forgiveness after that, no honours, no place in the House of Lords, no selection for various government committees that are appointed by the Government.  Will Remain MPs be Turkeys voting for Christmas?

Is closing Parliament a runner to allow a CLEAR BREXIT ? - Why NO BREXIT?


Lets Get Real:

The Daily Mail under a new Editor has become very REMAIN paper, it supported May's withdrawal agreement, up to the last minute, then May resigned, she will resign as Conservative Leader today, still will carry on acting leader and PM in till the Conservative Party elects a new LEADER.   Thus the idea of proroguing the House of Commons is a GOOD IDEA, let's recall the Queen is SOVEREIGN, it is not the House of Commons or the people, the Queen under the advice of her PM can do anything, we do NOT HAVE A written Constitution, thus the closing down the House of Commons might go down well with most of the Country, it would show LEADERSHIP, a PM who is tough, Raab just might be a serious contender to be PM. 

Peterborough by-election Result - Why No Brexit?


Lets Get Real:

This is a good showing for Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party but also a WARNING, what happen at a by - election does not mean that at a General Election the voters will not change their minds.  The Seat is in a heavy leave area, what if BREXIT is thwarted at the end of the day, will those Conservative voters switch from supporting the Party to voting for the Brexit Party.   Those Labour MPs in heavy LEAVE Seats will be worried how close the vote was, will the Brexit Party be their main threat not the Conservative Party.   As for the Conservative Party it really needs to wake up and smell the coffee, the Brexit Party could be a spoiler, it could prevent the Tories winning Seats and allow for a Corbyn Government. The Conservative Party can not take a long time to elect a new PM, it needs BORIS in No 10 and FAST, and then get BREXIT DONE. 

The BBC Debates on the NEXT PM - End of the May Era


Lets Get Real:

God knows why the Conservative Party agreed to its Conservative succession being debated on the BBC.   The BBC is so pro Remain and Guardian readers one can expect a hostile interviews for ALL the candidates.  Also the public do not have a vote in this, the Conservative membership has the final say, and they are Boris supporters, if Gove starts to attack BORIS he might find that the BBC likes it, but the Conservative base will see it as a REMAIN Cabinet Minister trying to be PM May the second.  That would be odd, because Gove was one of the leading lights of the Brexit vote, it seems red boxes and power does corrupt.   It has been commented on that this is a race for BORIS to lose, one hopes that he does not do any foot in mouth moments, one never knows with BORIS.

The Conservative Succession - End of the May Era - Why NO BREXIT?


Lets Get Real:

The Conservative Party leadership rules have to be changed again, this race can not go on for weeks, the number of candidates could be shorten if each candidate needed 12 MPs supporting him or her before the 1st round and then the vote should be taken daily to get down to 2 candidats to go to the Party.  One can postulate that if BORIS gets the nod and a Remainer is chosen the Remain candidate will stand down and allow Boris to become PM and save the Party members having to vote for the outcome everyone knows.  Of course it depends on Boris getting the nod, the MPs are not that BRIGHT, they could give us another Major or May, the UK and the Conservative Party needs BORIS as PM.
