The Whistleblower Complaint - US Election 2020

Fox News: Read the transcript of the Whistleblower complaint against President Trump.

Lets Get Real:

Always read the documents when it comes to a case of impeachment.  The 24/7 news networks always hype what they want the viewers to know, that goes from CNN to Fox News. Always make up your own mind, an impeachment process should take a year and have endless Committee meetings, the Democrats want it over in 8 weeks, whenever someone tries to push for this something this fast, you always have to ask why?  Are they afraid that the charge will not hold up, also the Democrats do not want the process to overtake the Democratic race for the nomination.  Even with Iran Contra, the Gipper was lucky, it came at the end of November, after the 1986 Mid Terms, and the hearings did not last that long, the special prosecutor at the end did not achieve much and Bush 41 pardoned the main actors in the fair, the Gipper could transfer the problem to his successor, and not have deal with any pardon issues, kept his hands clean, a great politician. 

*After reading the whistleblower complaint I am not impressed, a lot of 2nd hand knowledge, and lot open press reports, if this is ALL the Democrats have got, they are in trouble.  The Congressional hearings better have something more, or the Democrats are going to look like fools and this blog does not even like POTUS. 

The Impeachment of Trump and the US voter - US Election 2020

Daily Mail: Reports " Support for impeachment swells to 49 per cent as Americans absorb whistle-blower's bombshell allegations about Donald Trump "

Lets Get Real:

In 1974 Richard Nixon only agreed to resign when the Republicans in the US Senate told him it was over, if this had not happened the history could have been different.   Also the polls for Nixon were bad, it was the reverse for Bill Clinton, the US voter did not think that Clinton deserved to be impeached because of an affair and he was found not guilty by a Republican US Senate.   As long as Trump can keep the defections to a few Senators up for re-election in 2020 he will be all right.  Of course if House hearings next week can push the story along, then there might be a difference, does the White House hold other compromising transcripts of Trump with other State leaders.   This blog would be interested to read the transcript of the talks between Trump and Putin, one would assume that the Trump White House will fight tooth and nail to keep them quiet.  It is going to be dramatic week next week. 

The Impeachment Fight - A Dirty War starts - US Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " Donald Trump calls for sacking of political rival leading impeachment inquiry...As the investigation into Donald Trump's call to the Ukrainian leader continues, the president hits out at the inquiry. "

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats expect to get through the impeachment process by the start of December, that is just 8 weeks, a real honest investigation and hearings would take a YEAR, the Democrats are showing their true colours, most are political hacks that would be on the other side if it was  Democratic President.   The Democratic base has wanted to impeach TRUMP since his election win in 2016, the failure of the Mueller report was a shock to them and to CNN and other liberal press.  Thus they had started on impeachment when rumours of the UKraine scandal had just broken.   This process could hand TRUMP a 2nd term, the base will be furious with the Liberal House, that could get them to vote for Trump for a 2nd time, the Democrats are really bad at basic politics. 

POTUS vs. Senator Warren ? - US Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " Trump v Warren rallies preview possible 2020 populist duel "

Lets Get Real:

The above article is interesting, it was published a few days before the Ukraine scandal broke, and looks at the possible match up of Trump vs. Warren.   The Democrats are rushing for Impeachment to finish by the end of November, of course they have already made their minds up, a thorougher impeachment would take almost a year, the Dems want to keep their base happy, also they do not want the process to damage the Democratic race that will start in 2020 with the Iowa and New Hampshire votes.   The blog has read the transcript, it is damaging, but not enough to impeach a duck never mind a President, it depends of the House Committees can bet officials to come to talk to them and how much roadblocks the White House places on the process.   Trump will be ready for bear, he is a good counter puncher, the CIA official who was the whistle blower better have no connection to the Democrats in any form, otherwise Fox News and the supporters of the POTUS will go after him or her with a fury.    As long as Trump keeps the Senate the trial will be very short, there is no chance, that 20 Republicans will defect to support impeachment, POTUS will be found innocent, and then he can go in to 2020 with the mantra that the Democrats have tried two Coups in attempt to overturn the 2016 Election, and Warren will argue that TRUMP is corrupt, it will be a VERY DIRTY campaign. 

Warren TOPS Poll - US Election 2020

Politico: Reports on a  new Quinnipiac University poll, for the Democratic race, " Twenty-seven percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents polled ..said they favor Warren, according to a survey released Wednesday morning. Twenty-five percent said they prefer former Vice President Joe Biden.  "

Lets Get Real:

The race is not looking good for former VP, Joe Biden, he is behind in Iowa and New Hampshire and now Warren is beating him or is neck in neck with him in national polls.  The Trump's Ukraine scandal should get him some sympathy, the fact that POTUS was looking for political dirt on him and his son.  On the other hand the Democrats might think there is some smoke to that fire and will move for the left wing firebrand Senator Warren, it can be argued that their hearts are for Warren but their brains are telling them that they should support the moderate Biden.   This blog has advised Biden to move to Iowa and NH, he might not get to South Carolina at this stage, if Warren can take both early States in 2020 she could run field.   The one good point for Biden is that there is still time for him to get back in to the race, he as the brand name and the money, does he have the fire in the belly is the question.  Developing....

2nd Suspension of Parliament - General Election 2019?

Sky News: Reports " Boris Johnson hints at second parliament suspension in angry Commons..In his first Commons appearance since his prorogation of parliament was ruled unlawful, the PM again pushes for a Queen's Speech.  "

Lets Get Real:

The PM should suspended Parliament if he does not get a deal on the 19th of October, then barge through to the 31st of October, have the UK out, in essence go through or around the House of Commons and the UK Supreme Court, it was a novel idea that has failed.  Once people are seen celebrating around the UK, it will not matter what this RUMP Parliament thinks, that goes for the Courts ALSO, let them try to pull it back, that would lead to peaceful unrest, since the appeasers and surrender merchants claim to be liberal, well the people are SOVEREIGN at the end, they want out, the RUMP Parliament and UK Supreme Court will just have to take it, defacto we will be OUT. 

Dead Parliament WALKING - How Long? - General Election 2019?

BBC News: Reports " Boris Johnson has told MPs the Supreme Court was "wrong to pronounce on a political question at a time of great national controversy".  "

Lets Get Real:

It was a great performance by PM Boris, he took the fight to the House of Commons, he was helped by AG who called Parliament DEAD.  As the PM stated on many times, the Surrender Act that the RUMP Parliament pushed through before suspension had not helped in his talks with the EU, the Surrender Act, pushed through by HARD REMAINERS showed why this House of Commons is held in such contempt, they are weak, they can not take the HEAT IN THE KITCHEN, they want safe zones to chat, would you want these women, and some even claim to be men in a trench with you, at the first shot they would be running away.  It is no wonder that Universities have so many snowflakes, they can not take debate, they claim to be liberal, but they are VERY ILLIBERAL, they are appeasers and kneel before the EU, Lady Thatcher would have had NONE of them in her Cabinet, they are just WEAK, WEAK, one wonders if they would get a real job outside the House of Commons, I would not hire them, when things are BAD, you want loyalty and devotion Queen and Country, they fall at the floor at there mere mention of the EU.  Let's take the political fight to them, they want abuse the rules, let's abuse them back, declare a State of Emergency and have an election, that would finish off this rabble. 

The White House: Transcript of a call between the Presidents of the United States of America and the President of the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

Having READ the actually document I think the Democrats and CNN are doing another Mueller, GOING OVER THE TOP! there is no threats per say, one can take the view that the POTUS was concerned about corruption in the Ukraine, that happened to include allegations against former VP Joe Biden and his son.  The Democrats and CNN have allowed their hatred of Trump to allow the impression to be reality.   One doubts any Court, even liberals Courts would take this only as evidence of corruption, the Democrats should dial it back a bit, they could LOSE the House if they go over the top again and hurt a Democratic nominee in 2020.  Of course there might be other information, we shall see, if this is IT, not that impressed. 

National Poll in essence finds Biden and Warren TIED - US Election 2020

The Hill: Reports a new Emerson College Poll on the Democratic race, " Biden gets the support of 25 percent of registered voters, a 6-point drop from the same poll in August. Meanwhile, Warren has surged to 23 percent support, an 8-point bump since last month’s survey. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) rounds out the top three with 22 percent, a 2-point fall from August.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Campaign should start to worry, they are behind in both Iowa and New Hampshire and now Warren is in essence in tied with Biden in a national poll.  It should be stated that the Biden Campaign has stated that they are looking forward to South Carolina, in that State, African - Americans who support Biden could save his bacon.  The problem is that Biden has to get to South Carolina, if he loses Iowa and New Hampshire and Warren starts to get the big Momentum, then even African - Americans who are one of the  pillars of the Biden Campaign might decide to switch sides.  The former VP has to get his act up to another level, he should move to Iowa and New Hampshire, the voters should see him every day in the two States, the question is can Biden muster the fire in the belly to win this nomination.  At present it looks like it will take Warren to LOSE the nomination, Biden has to up his game and fast, and a visit from Barack Obama would be nice, Biden keeps going on how he worked well with Obama over eight years, why not some pay pack from the Obamas. 

What Trump might to about Iran - Middle East Crisis - US Election

Guardian: Reports " US patience with Iran not inexhaustible, warns Saudi Arabia..Saudi minister says military response to attack on oil facilities still being considered  "

Lets Get Real:

At the moment POTUS has a problem, the Democrats have started an impeachment investigation in to him over his call to the President of Ukraine asking for political dirt on the VP Joe Biden and his son.   The President looks weak and is under attack, the best way to divert attention and do the right thing would be take out the Tehran Regime, the US has the firepower in the region, the Trump Oval did not react when the Tehran shot down a US drone, it has not reacted to the attack by IRAN on Saudi Arabia's oil structure.   The best it has come up with is more sanctions.   Enough is ENOUGH, the US should take harsh an firm action, this would be the right thing for the region and would show that Trump is not weak even with the Congressional investigation.  As noted yesterday by this blog, the Republican hawks are calling on Trump to find his inner Ronald Reagan, the Great Gipper had Iran - Contra to deal with, it did not stop him hitting Iran when US assets in the region were attacked.  The US voter will support a strong LEADER, a weak leader becomes Jimmy Carter MARK 2.  Does Trump have the guts to follow through?

Warren LEADS in Poll in New Hampshire - US Election 2020

Monmouth University Poll: Reports " Among registered New Hampshire Democrats and unaffiliated voters who are likely to participate in the February 2020 Democratic primary, 27% currently support Warren and 25% support Biden. The only other candidates in double digits are Sanders at 12% and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 10%  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus Senator Warren is LEADING in Iowa and New Hampshire, is it still fair to call former VP Joe Biden the front runner, he leads in national polls, but he is flunking in the early States that vote, if Warren can take Iowa or NH then the other States might fall into line.  The Biden Camp has been aware of this happening have stressed the vote in South Carolina, this has a large African - American vote and it's only leading in this group that Biden in national polls is still the front runner.  If Warren can show that she can take on Trump and can take Iowa and NH in early 2020 the Biden Camp might find that he is General Custer in South Carolina and Warren is the Native American to take his political scalp ( Warren did claim on official papers that she was from Native - American decent, she started it ) Of course its not yet October and there will be further debates, the impeachment investigation in to Trump, and Warren has supported this, could lead to sympathy votes for Biden due to the fact that POTUS was looking for political dirt on Biden and his son.  I love political polls, never tire of them!!

Rogue Supreme Court, Joins Rump Parliament - General Election 2019?

Sky News: Reports " Boris Johnson speaks to Queen after Supreme Court defeat...A senior government official confirmed a discussion took place - but would not say if the prime minister made an apology.  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK Supreme Court has gone rogue, it has joined the RUMP Parliament, all 11 Supremes supported the decision, they could not find one that was for BREXIT. Also the UK Supreme Court does not understand UK Democracy, the Queen in Parliament is sovereign, that means the Government represents the Queen, which part did the OLD Judges not get that, the Queen is SOVEREIGN not Parliament, not the House of Commons or the people.  This blog is calling for the next Conservative Government to ABOLISH the Supreme Court, it was another Blair disaster reform, like the Welsh Assembly and the Scottish Parliament. Also one of the papers should investigate the JUDGES, have they done their career in EU law, are they associated or married to people who are Euro fanatics.  The Establishment thought it was right about appeasement, it was WRONG, sometimes the great and the good go off the planet, the Establishment is not playing FAIR, we have  Bias Speaker, a Rump Parliament and Supreme Court that must be having flashbacks to the 1960s or with age one has to consider dementia 

Trump impeachment inquiry- US Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " US Democrats have opened a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump over claims that he sought political help from Ukraine.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats are fools, they might just have handed Trump a 2nd term, he will all out and say that the Democrats failed with their Russian investigation, tax investigations and are now jumping on document that they have not seen.   Also in less the transcript between Trump and the Ukraine President is VERY DAMAGING, the Republicans who control the US Senate will not move, Trump still has the support of over 90% of Republican voters, and while moderate Republican Senators might move, there is no way that the Democrats will get 67 votes in the US Senate, and thus Trump will be declared innocent.  The liberal press elite has forced the House Speaker in to this move, it's all CNN has talked about, well in 2020 the Democrats could LOSE the House and it will be their OWN FAULT, the Democrats might have just fallen for Trump's bait. 

Warren's ROAD to the OVAL OFFICE - US Election 2020

CNN - Politics: Reports " Warren tops the field in the CNN-DMR poll with 22% support, followed by former Vice President Joe Biden at 20% (the poll has a four-point margin of error, putting the two essentially in a tie). Warren and Biden are followed distantly by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at 11%.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a two man/woman race, the presumed front runner VP Biden faces a great challenge by Senator Warren, she is now leading in Iowa, and if you read the above article, she has a great local operation, also she is from Mass, thus close to NH.  They get their TV coverage from there, so she is well known.   The question is what does Biden do, it's  a very simple answer, he moves to IOWA AND NEW HAMPSHIRE, he can not afford to lose these two States in 2020, if he does it could be OVER for Biden.   The former VP should be in people's homes over the Christmas and New Year period in the two States, in fact the voters of the two States should be sick of his face by the actual contests in February 2020.  DOES BIDEN HAVE it in himself to WIN.   There can be no more political gaffes, he has to take the fight over the Ukraine to Trump, show that one on one he will fight Trump and beat him.  Expect more polls from Iowa and New Hampshire over the next few months. 

Iran Crisis - Update 1 - Middle East - US Election 2020

Daily Mail: Reports " Lindsey Graham says Trump should 'punish' Iran 'militarily' for attacking drones and ships as he channels Ronald Reagan: 'Sanctions are not enough' "

Lets Get Real:

Let's be CLEAR, Ronald Reagan was one  of the greatest Presidents in US history, and as Lady Thatcher said won the cold war without firing a shot.  As the article notes Reagan used US Armed Forces when Iran attacked US interests, the President understood that bullies have to be countered, and let's be honest he tried to talk to Iran, thus Iran - Contra, when that did not work and Iran was shown to be a bad actor in, Reagan responded attacks from Iran  with force, let's recall Reagan's VP won 1988 US Presidential Election, no VP had successful won the Oval after a two term President in 152 years and nonce since.  Donald Trump will never be a REAGAN, he will be lucky to win  a 2nd term, he is the modern Neville Chamberlain and the Middle East is the modern Munich.  If you appease you LOSE in all kind of ways. 

Trump and the Ukraine - Update 1 - US Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " Donald Trump 'could be impeached' if he pressured Ukrainian president..The US president has dismissed the claims and insists he did nothing wrong while pointing the finger at Democrat Joe Biden.  "

Lets Get Real:

When it comes to foreign policy of the US President has vast power, even if he asked for dirt on the Biden family from the Ukraine Government it is not illegal, the Congress is equal to the Presidency, it is NOT above it.   An issue as to whom can see Presidencial calls would have to get to the US Supreme Court, and even then the US House might LOSE, the Republicans have backed the US Supreme Court will their Judges, the Democratic House would look weak and foolish if it lost an argument before the Supremes.  The Biden camp is fighting the charges from Trump, but also in a recent poll it was 2% behind Senator Warren in Iowa.  If Warren can make the case that she can take on Trump, then Biden might find he no longer be called the front runner.  VP Biden should spend all hit time in Iowa and New Hampshire, if he loses those States to Warren in 2020 he could be finished. 

Labour's MIXED MESSAGE on Brexit - Brexit Update 1 - General Election 2019?

BBC News: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn's policy on Brexit has triumphed at Labour conference, as members endorsed his stance to stay neutral while negotiating a new deal.  "

Lets Get Real:

The HARD REMAINERS within the Labour Party will be furious, they will be stuck following the Party line, well those in the leadership otherwise during a general election the Party will be accused of mixed messages.  At least Corbyn has held on to his real view, it can be argued that Corbyn is a firm HARD BREXIT supporter if he was not leader of the LABOUR PARTY.   It is expected tomorrow that the High Court will state that the suspension of Parliament was illegal, and thus the House of Commons will be recalled.   This would be unfair on two levels, it's a political decision to suspend Parliament and also the Conservative will not have had their conference, it will be easy to see if the HIGH COURT is full remainers, it would be very unfair to allow the Lib Dems to have their conference but deny that to the Conservative Party. 

The Guardian Negative view of Brexit Talks - Brexit Update 2 - General Election 2019

Guardian: Reports " Fresh Brexit talks row as UK asks EU to keep its proposals secret...Downing Street tells Brussels negotiators documents must not be shared with 27 states  "

Lets Get Real:

As stated in previous post, the Guardian, BBC News and Sky News are getting very negative about a possible BREXIT DEAL, the tone for months if not years has been that the BACKSTOP can not be changed, and thus in essence its better to REMAIN.  If PM Boris can get a deal and it can pass the House of Commons ( a big ask ) then we are out of the EU.  As stated every comment from both the EU and the UK is being analysed and its importance is being viewed through either Remain or Leave viewpoint.  If the Supreme Court states that the House of Commons should be recalled, expect more trouble from the HARD REMAINERS, PM Boris has to get the UK out of the EU by the 31st of October or he is toast and so is the Conservative Party. 

Could the Ukraine FINISH off Trump? - US Election 2020

Daily Mail: Reports " Donald Trump attacks whistleblower who complained about his call to Ukraine's president as 'highly partisan' and claims 'there was nothing said wrong' amid clash over probe into whether he pressured leader to prosecute Joe Biden's son "

Lets Get Real:

The above story is very odd, all we know for a FACT is that someone in the intelligence has read the transcript or heard the conversation between Trump and foreign leader, it is assumed to be the NEW President of the Ukraine.  The issue is over a promise made by Trump, after that it's all speculation.  In foreign affairs POTUS has a lot more power and it can be argued that he calls he makes to other foreign leaders comes under executive privilege, that means that the US Congress will have a HARD TIME in Court in getting to see the information.  This could go to the US Supreme Court, CNN is getting its knickers in to a twist and is speculating the WORST, it should recall its a NEWS network not the commentary news network.  This is a developing story. 

Does Trump UNDERSTAND US voters better than the D.C Bubble ? - US Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " Trump cares most about re-election, and voters don't care about Iran..The US president is conflict-cautious because a mistake could damage his chances in next year's election.  "

Lets Get Real:

The US it can be argued has returned to its isolation roots that can be found in its history, after World War 1 the US voter did not want the US linked to problems of other Countries, the Republicans played on this to defeat the US being part of the League of Nations, it took World War Two and Nazi Germany declaring War on the US to get the US to take the lead of the West.   The US has been in Afghanistan for nearly two decades, there has US troops in Iraq and Syria and the 5th fleet is stationed in Bahrain.  In 2016 candidate Trump promised that he would not be like Bush 43 and get the US in to endless Wars, that is why he is gun shy when it comes to Iran.  POTUS does not get the fact that Reagan lost over 240+ Marines in Lebanon in one day in the early 1980s and the following day invaded Grenada, Leaders LEAD, Reagan was a great President, he took risks that were in the interest of the US, on the whole they worked, if POTUS wants to be another Reagan he better find a backbone, or he is going to make the Dems look like hawks in 2020. The US voter really HATES a weak leader, look what happened to Jimmy Carter in 1980. 

Is the UK heading for a DEAL with the EU ? - Brexit Update 1 - General Election 2019

BBC News: Reports " Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay has said the UK and EU share a "common purpose" in reaching a new withdrawal deal, after a meeting in Brussels with chief EU negotiator Michel Barnier.  "

Lets Get Real:

The mood music between the EU and the UK has gone better, the BBC News has a negative tone, they have been saying for ages that there will be no no new deal, well they are open Remainers, the same problem with Sky News.   If PM Boris can get a deal and get the UK out of the EU by 31st October he will win any following any election.  Of course if the Supreme Court says that he must bring back the House of Commons they with the help of bias Speaker could throw a spanner in to the works, the Remainers in the House of Commons have tried to tie the hands of the PM and he just might have gotten around that by getting a deal.  Next week will be VERY interesting.

The Democrats vs. POTUS - US Election 2020

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.59pm post the following, " A congressional hearing featuring Corey Lewandowski, the former Donald Trump aide, was notable for what was not said. Again and again, Lewandowski refused to answer questions about potential obstruction of justice by Trump, asserting privilege over conversations with the president which Democrats angrily said the White House just invented.  "

Lets Get Real:

Why are the Democrats doing this to themselves, the US voter has made it CLEAR that they have no interest in impeaching Trump over Russia, the moderate Democrats to the House in 2016 have made it clear so far that they are not risking their necks to keep the VERY LIBERAL Dem base happy.  One can see POTUS using this to show that the Democrats have no interest in getting deals, that their sole interest is HATRED for Trump and all things Trump.  Also it makes the Democratic candidate have to defend the actions of the House, that might work in the primary season but what about a general election.  The Democrats just might have handed Trump a 2nd term, they have LOST THE PLOT, that is not new for Democrats. 

UK Plans for the Northern Irish Backstop - Brexit Update 1 - General Election 2019?

Sky News: Reports " UK 'keeping hold of Brexit proposals to avoid EU leaks..A government source says the UK is "showing them [the EU] the papers", but "the difference is we are not leaving them with them".  "

Lets Get Real:

A UK Government with a BRAIN CELL, the EU can not be trusted, this blog would not trust them with the last digestive biscuit on a plate, the question is what kind of deal is the UK Government going for, if it is seen as a rehash of the May deal the Brexit Party will go nuts and stand candidates at the next election, thus splitting the Brexit vote between the Conservatives, Labour and the Brexit Party, while the Remainers will unite behind the Liberal Democrats.   Thus any UK Brexit Deal has to hold up in the following morning papers and not seen as a sell out, tricky days and weeks ahead for PM Boris. 

Iran BEHIND Saudi Arabia Oil Attacks - Middle East Crisis - 2020 US Election

BBC News: Reports " The US has reportedly identified locations in Iran from which drones and cruise missiles were launched against major Saudi oil facilities on Saturday.  "

Lets Get Real:

If this was any other President, then US bomber and fighter planes would be in the air above Iran taking out threats to SA and the US, but we have Trump, a MAJOR DOVE, and President that will not defend US national interests, when Iran shot down a US drone, the Trump Oval called off a strike, when the WORLD's oil supply comes under threat the Trump Oval looks for a weasel way OUT.  This is Munich 1938 ALL over again.   IN many respects Trump is the new Neville Chamberlain, does IRAN have to invade US for Trump to get off his lazy backside and do something, Trump is no Churchill. 

Trump's FAILURE on Iran - Part 4 - Middle East Crisis - US Election 2020

The Washington Post: States the following in a Editorial Heading, " Trump has dug himself into a hole with Iran "

Lets Get Real:

What the American media left does not understand that it has a friend in Trump, he is a MAJOR DOVE, and would the elite press such as the Washington Post and NYT really support any US action in the Middle East.   The American left in general are appeasers, the long War in Afghanistan and form their view the mistake of the Iraq War has made the left very gun shy.   If Trump really wants to get re -elected he would take out the Tehran Regime, but one gets the impression that he is a WIMP, JFK or Reagan would have taken swift action, the wait gives the impression of indecision, the Tehran Regime knows that Trump will not react, and on this Trump might be in tune with the American voter, in less their oil prices go up, then the US voter will want action. 

Trump blames Iran for Saudi Arabia Oil Attack- Part 3 - Middle East - 2020 US Election

The New York Times: Reports " Trump Says Iran Appears Responsible for Attack on Saudi Oil Facilities  "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS has shown that he is WEAK when it comes to Iran, he did not reply when Iran shot down a US drone, and fired his National Security Adviser for being a hawk on Iran.  Let's talk politics, does POTUS want to win in 2020, the one way to make sure that happens would be to take out the Tehran Regime, the Islamic Republic has been a thorn in the US side since 1979 and its revolution.   IF Trump takes out the Tehran Regime, the people of Iran would be BETTER OFF, also the security of the World would be better.    The economic sanctions of Trump has bought IRAN to its knees, the Tehran Regime is playing hardball, it knows that the Regime could fall if the people just get fed up with the Regime and its regional policies, no one will cry if the Islamic Republic FELL, it's a  terror Regime, its supports terror units in the region with money and arms, it is close to becoming a nuclear power, what will the World do when it wakes up to a nuclear powered Iran, better to finish off the regime before it becomes a WORLD THREAT. 

Saudi Arabia Oil Attack Part 2 - Middle East Crisis - US Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " Saudi Arabia says 'Iranian weapons' used in drone attack on oil facilities...Saudi Arabia and America claim Iran is behind the attack that wiped out more than 5% of the world's oil production.  "

Lets Get Real:

The question is what next, it seems President Trump was ready to suspend some of the sanctions against Iran and meet the Iranian President at the UN General Assembly, well that lead to the resignation of his National Security Advisor, who it seems was more on the ball that Trump, well it does not take that much to be more clever than this President.  In a Oval Office Q/A session with reporters the President will still sounding like he does not want to take action against Iran, as noted by this blog, the more that Trump appears to be the modern Neville Chamberlain the more the enemies of the US will see this weakness and take action.   President Nixon warned about this is 1970s speech, when it comes to foreign policy old Tricky Dicky new a thing or two about threats to the US.  When the big dog ( the US ) does not lead the cats will play, the dog does not have to take action, it's the threat of action should scare any cat ( this blog is dog person! )   If the evidence points to Iran and there are more threats from Iran, then the US should consider action, the Tehran Regime is a THREAT to world security. 

What NEXT after the Saudi Oil Attacks ? - Middle East Crisis - US Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " The United States has issued satellite images and cited intelligence to back its allegation Iran was behind attacks on major Saudi oil facilities.  "

Lets Get Real:

After the failure to find WMD in Iraq in 2003 the CIA and the NSA will want to make sure that they find the culprit and that information backs it up.   The question is WHAT IS NEXT?, one can assume that Saudi Arabia will want to take action against Iran, the question is, will they increase their attacks in Yemen or go for the mother load that is Iran, will they want to hit the oil network of Iran, as a counter punch, also what part with the US play.  President Trump is a MAJOR DOVE, he really does not want to use force, but he stated he will wait in till the full evidence comes in.  As POTUS noted in the OVAL OFFICE, the US was not attacked, as the US has enough oil to counter any shortfall of oil to the US, the next few days will be interesting. 

The Democratic Race for the 2020 Nomination - Election 2020

CNN - Politics: Reports " The former vice president is at 24%, Warren at 18% and Sanders at 17% are once again the only candidates to reach double-digit support...Biden's lead rests on his support among black voters, among whom he leads by a wide margin "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden front runner status is under pressure from both Warren and Sanders, it can be argued that the if either Warren or Sanders can take Iowa and New Hampshire in 2020 they might get the nomination due to the fact that it would be showed that they are winners.  The Biden campaign is already playing down the importance of IOWA and NEW HAMPSHIRE, that could be a mistake, if VP Biden gives the impression that he has give up on those States, the voters in those States could move their support to either Warren or Sanders.  The Debate on thursday should be interesting, on the stage there will be Biden vs Warren and Sanders, the Biden Camp has already had a dig at Warren by saying you need more than plans to make D.C work.  This blogger just might put £2.50 bet on Warren being the nominee, a risk, but it was right about Trump in 2016. 

Trump vs. Bolton - The Dove vs. The Hawk - Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " Mr Trump and Mr Bolton, a foreign policy hawk, had significant disagreements on Iran, Afghanistan and other global challenges.  "

Lets Get Real:

Iran and the Taliban in Afghanistan are going to think they are the winners out of the Bolton sacking/resignation, Trump is going to look WEAK and a APPEASER, the Trump Oval must do something to counter the view that Trump is the new Neville Chamberlain of modern politics.   The Tehran Regime might think this gives them the greenlight to go nuclear and the Taliban in Afghanistan will just wait out the Trump Administration.  The election of Trump in 2016 shows that the US voter can get it REALLY WRONG, Trump had never served in Government, had no academic record on the subject.   Being New York businessman never cut it for the OVAL OFFICE, Trump makes Jimmy Carter look good, the US needs a new President in 2020, even if it is VP Biden. 

Bolton OUT as NSA, Was he sacked or did he resign? - Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has announced he fired his hawkish National Security Adviser John Bolton, adding that he disagreed "strongly" with him.  "

Lets Get Real:

There is a question as to if Bolton was sacked or he resigned, the Trump Oval states he was fired, while Bolton has told the press he was sacked.   This must be the time that the VP and the US Cabinet consider the 25th Amendment, the removal of the POTUS, he is not fit to be President, he will be on his fourth National Security Adviser when he announces his new pick.  The Republican Party has to consider its future, not just 2020, Trump looks like a major LOSER in 2020, there must be a  respected and well know Republican who wants to challenge him, how about Senator Mitt Romney, it is worth a try, something must be done to protect the US from Trump.  From over the pond it seems that Trump is a major appeaser, from the Taliban to North Korea, what would Ronald Reagan say about the present Republican Party, he would not be happy it can be postulated, Trump is the new Neville Chamberlain. 

Is Biden really the Front Runner for 2020 - Election 2020

CNN - Politics: Reports " Biden remains dominant over Dems nationwide, but early state poll shows stiff competition"

Lets Get Real:

Although political geeks like this blog and those that have an interest in politics would come to view that Biden was going to be the nominee from the national Democratic polls taken so fart, that would be BIG MISTAKE.   Let's recall that HRC was sure fire winner in 2008, the Crown was for her to lose, and she did lose it to Barack Obama, in 2016 Senator Sanders gave HRC a run for her money and still lost to POTUS.  The good people of Iowa and New Hampshire do not like to be taken for granted, they expect the candidate to come to their homes, to talk policy with them and their neighbours, it is general said there are two to three tickets out of Iowa, so let's speculate that those three are Biden, Warren and Sanders, the big test will be New Hampshire, can the candidate who takes IOWA also take NEW HAMPSHIRE, if a candidate manages to that they are heading for the nomination.   It nearly 5 months before IOWA, a week is a long time in politics, months are years.

The Afghanistan War and the 2020 Presidential Election - Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " Afghanistan: Temporary end to talks as US and Taliban don't want to fight forever...Taliban leaders may be claiming to be ready to wage war for 100 years - but their country is tired of the death and economic cost.  "

Lets Get Real:

One of the very first posts this blogged ever posted was its opposition in to going in to Afghanistan, the UK has the bloody t-shirt from previous operations in Afghanistan during the time of the British Empire, and thus we spent 13 years there at the cost of many lives and treasure, we left the US still there, and here is the change from this blog, the US has to stay, this can not be another Vietnam, with pictures of the people trying to get in to the last chopper out of Saigon.   The Trump Oval has to stand firm, take the fight to the Taliban and other terrorist units in country, the Taliban have to be pushed back, the US has to power to down mountains, it should be used, the Mother of bombs ( non nuclear ) SHOULD be used.  The poor people of Afghanistan can not be left to the terror of the Taliban.   Afghanistan can not be lost, or we could face another 9/11 at some future date. 

Bias Speaker OUT - Brexit Update 1 - General Election in November 2019

BBC News: Reports " John Bercow says he will stand down as Commons Speaker and MP at the next election or on 31 October, whichever comes first.  "

Lets Get Real:

Speaker Bercow has been a disgrace to the OFFICE of Speaker, he has tried to turn the House of Commons the US House and him Nancy Pelosi, there is a old saying, if you do not have something good to say about someone, say nothing.   In this case we have the exception, Bercow has shown his bias time over time, he has his pet MPs bring up motions that any other Speaker would dismiss.  Bercow is such a Euro Federalist that this blog is asking the next House of Commons to open an investigation in to the role of Bercow, who did he speak to on the Opposition, has he spoken to EU, and as a cost his pension could be taken away.   Also he should not be given a peerage, he has been a  total disgrace, good riddance to rubbish. 

Does former President Obama want to see Biden as the nominee? - Election 2020

Fox News: Reports " Axelrod claims Biden 'serially distorting' record, 'in danger of creating more damaging' trend with gaffes "

Lets Get Real:

One does wonder if a former top adviser to President Obama, would write this if not having been given approval by the former POTUS.  This blog has noticed that on CNN David Axelrod has been more critical of the former VP than other guests, sometimes he is the only one who can bring a CNN panel back to earth with the political reality.   It did come as surprise to this blog that President Obama did not want Biden to run in 2016, he thought that HRC had a better chance of winning the White House, its shows that the political skill of Obama is pretty much about himself, at least the Great Reagan helped get his VP elected in 1988.   Does Obama want a different candidate to Biden, a younger, ethnic candidate, and that does not include Senator Warren.  How many gaffes can Biden get away with before his numbers being to fall. 

Should our Boris BREAK THE LAW? - Brexit Update 3 - November General Election

Daily Mail: Reports " Delay be damned: Boris Johnson says he will refuse to postpone Brexit even if he's LEGALLY required - forcing him to resign or MPs to kick him out - as Jeremy Corbyn prepares to block election on Monday  "

Lets Get Real:

This would be a DARING move by PM Boris, either the House of Commons gives him an election or he will simply do a HARD NO BREXIT on 31st October, and then have a election, of course the House of Commons Rumb Members could take it to the COURTS, even the Courts will not want to get stuck in this swamp, or Boris could advice the Queen not to give Royal Assent to the NO DEAL BREXIT ACT, that would really be a game changer, it would force the rebel Conservatives to go against the Queen, there are limits even for THIS  RUMP Parliament. 

A November Brexit Election - Brexit Update 2 - November Election?

Sky News: Reports " Opposition party leaders have agreed to once again block Boris Johnson's demand for a snap general election, meaning the UK is unlikely to head to the polls before November.  "

Lets Get Real:

As stated by this blog, the PM should make the next 8 weeks about how the Labour Party is unfit for Government, he should go on every show their is, from TV Breakfast shows to Newsnight, on the condition that it takes place in 10 Downing Street with a big picture of CHICKEN CORBYN behind him.   The Opposition can cry in their appeasers tea!  As for the demand by Parliament that that the PM ask the EU for an extension, he should send the most junior member of the Government to the EU, with the new ACT and leave it, make the Opposition send out a delegation if they want, make them carry the humiliation of the deal.   Then if they want an election in November, the PM should not be that quick to agree, what about in the New Year, make the Opposition own the delay. 

Where the UK stands when it comes to Brexit - Brexit Update 1 - No General Election in 2019?

BBC News: Reports " UK opposition parties have agreed not to back Boris Johnson's demand for a general election before the EU summit in mid-October.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Conservatives are facing a problem, how to get the Opposition Parties to agree to an election, that is simple, play them at their own game, the Conservative Party is in OFFICE, if not in power as such.   Thus if the House of Commons wants to play games, let' play, the Conservatives should in the Queen's speech bring in every favourite Conservative policy, low taxes, make the BBC pay for the OAP's licence, state that the Government is going for a NO DEAL BREXIT, and will use the savings to fund care for the aged, save them having to use their savings.   The PM has the Officen and the PM stand, so use it, the media during an election has to give equal time to the Parties, there is no election, so use the free media, aka Donald Trump to undermine the Opposition before the election, state they have humiliated the UK, much like the appeasers in the 1930s, they do not want to care for the aged, that they can not be trusted, a Corbyn Government would be restricted in what it can do if they are still in the EU, thus any promises of Government take over of the economy would be LIE, use the the PM's office, make the Opposition pay for their cowardice in the face of the voters. 

When YOU LOSE your PHONE - Modern Culture

After the mess that was the House of Commons this afternoon, let's talk about something that is IMPORTANT, when you lose your phone or to be more precise, when you manage to block your self out of it by accident.  My mobile was VERY old, most of the memory was taken up by a internet provided firewall, the problem is when I tried to get rid of it, the phone blocked me out.   The phone would send a new PIN number but it would only send it to my gmail account on the mobile, when I could not access because the phone was blocked.   The old mobile, yes we are talking the early 1980s here was a brick, of course since then the mobile has developed, now its like your third hand, you only realise you have lost something when you can not access the d-m thing.

Thus last night I tried to access my gmail account via my laptop, the problem was that I had forgotten the password to it, thus had to get my email account to send a recover key from my other email account.  Then I tried to manually restore my phone from the site of my firewall and virus checker, the problem was it did not work, every time I reset my pin for my phone it did not work.  My the end I was totally confused.   Thus I had hope this morning that if I went to my local computer shop they could fix it, well after nearly an hour I was give the telephone numbers for BT ( free call ) to get the number I wanted, my reaction was thanks a lot.

As will all things my mother came up with a solution, why not go the mobile providers shop and see if they could so something, and YES they could, it cost me £170 pounds, but it solved it, got a new phone with new memory and got my phone back with my number.  I have left the hours travelling from my home to the shop. just to get a new phone.  Thus lesson, if you are going to play with you phone, better leave to it to an expert, so if it goes wrong, it is their problem. 

PM Borit will TRY again for another General Election - NO BREXIT on 31st of October - Part 2

Sky News  - Live Reporting: Reports in its 9.56pm post the following, " PM hints he will try again for election when no-deal bill passed  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus it seems that PM Boris is going to cave and allow the NO BREXIT Act to pass, a better and stronger PM would have taken his chances with advicing the Monarch NOT to give the Royal Assent.  Then the question comes back again, what will the Labour answer to be when the PM asks again for another election, once the Bill is passed when else can the Opposition use to refuse an election, it will be fair to call Corbyn a Communist Chicken if he buckles to the like of Tony Blair.   The Remainers should remember Hubris, an Greek word, victory can be celebration or a bastard born the wrong side of the bed, not kept in the front room, as to avoid the rest of the family. 

When our MPs LOST THE PLOT! - NO BREXIT on 31st of October

BBC News - Live Reporting: Reports in its 9.40pm post the following, " Johnson 136 votes short of a general election  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the first time in UK political history that an Opposition Party has turned down the chance of an election, its might be smart in the short term, but it could cost the Labour Party in the future, all the time Corbyn has called for an election, and we offered one he turns it down.   Thus we have the following case, the House of Commons and later the House of Lords will tell the UK Government to ASK for an extension, it has even detailed the words to be used.    Of course this can not go on, as of last night the Conservative Government LOST 21 of its MPs and become a real minority Government, the Opposition is stating once the new ACT gets Royal Assent will agree to an election, what if the PM says to the Queen, that the House of Commons has lost the plot, with a bias Speaker, and thus states that the Government view that the Queen should not given assent to the Act, without the Queen the Act does not matter.    This would be a RISKY move, but it would outflank the House of Commons. One does wonder if PM Boris has the nerve, when you play tough Chicago politics, you have to be ready to go in to knife fight with a nuclear bomb, then the other side knows you are REAL. 

Is the Labour Party running away from an Election - Brexit Update 4 - General Election 2019

Guardian: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn 'will be delighted' to fight general election..Labour leader vows to defeat Tories but others say preventing no-deal Brexit should be main priority  "

Lets Get Real:

It is interesting that the Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn has stated in recent remarks that he will take a general election whatever the conditions, while on Newsnight on the BBC last night, Labour MPs did not seem that keen on election, if you see the Labour poll standing you can see why.  If Corbyn agrees with HARD REMAINERS not to call an election, the it can be stated that he is chicken of the first order, and it shows that he has no control of the Labour Party.  PM Boris should make it clear to Comrade Corbyn that if he does not agree to an election, then the PM will appoint whatever number is required in the House of Lords to block the NO DEAL BREXIT BILL.    It is time to play hardball, will the House of Lords really want a influx of BREXIT Lords, whose sole aim will be to give support to the Government position.
