The LIBERAL ELITE MEDIA and the Democratic Race - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " CNN accused of stacking audience vs. Bernie Sanders in town hall event "

Lets Get Real:

This is not the first time that CNN has been alleged in having attempted to shaft Senator Sanders, it was accused of doing the same thing in 2016 to help Hillary Clinton, the elite media is choosing its favourite candidates.  In the case of the uber elite New York Times it is former Vice - President Biden, it has already attempted to put out future political problems for Biden, from the various structures that are linked to Biden and his future run and costs of his paid speeches.   The LIBERAL ELITE want a candidate who is LIBERAL but can also beat President Trump, thus they see the Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders as a spoiler in that race.  As of declared candidates Senator Harris is the front runner, she has stated she is not a Democratic Socialist, but might have hurt her chances when she declared that she would get rid of privet medical insurance, Barack Obama promised you could keep your Doctor if you were happy with your Doctor, that turned out not to be true, also his individual mandate was not very popular.   As for Senator Warren she is a laughing stock, he claim of being a native American has really hurt her, also her attempt to clear up the mess has failed.   This sole advice of this blog to Senator Sanders is not to trust the elite media, your not their favourite any more, that title  has gone to the left wing firebrand AOC.  It not end of February yet, the Democratic Nominee for 2020 might be a candidate who has not declared yet, what about HRC, she did win the popular vote in 2016. 

Trump MEETS Kim for 2nd Time - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Trump and Kim Take 2: President meets North Korean dictator with a handshake and a laugh in Vietnam for their second nuclear summit and heralds the communist nation's 'unlimited' potential as Kim says he has high hopes for their talks  "

Lets Get Real:

It is so SAD to see a US President being conned by North Korea, POTUS thinks he is the smartest guy in the room when it comes to FOREIGN POLICY, he is not, he wants to be another Reagan, the Gipper used to say Trust but Verify when it comes to DEALS.  US intelligence has stated that North Korea is still a NUCLEAR THREAT, it can be postulated that North Korea wants to reform its economy, it's in the toilet, but it does not want to give up its nuclear arms.   Thus Kim will play Trump, get him to take sanctions off and even remove US military from South Korea, while developing his economy and keeping the BOMB.  This blog can not see any other US President being this foolish, even President Obama, and he did not go to Tehran for his failed nuclear deal.  One can also state that Hillary Clinton if she had won in 2016 would not have allowed herself to be conned.   What has happened to the HAWKS for the Republican Party, Nixon and Reagan would have been highly critical of the Trump move if they were still around. 

French REMIND House of Commons that the EU has a Final say over Delay - Brexit Update - No Brexit

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.20pm post the following, " Speaking at a news conference with German chancellor Angela Merkel, French president Emmanuel Macron says a delay to Brexit would only be accepted by the EU if it was "justified".  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has made its prediction, that the Remainers HAVE WON, the HARD BREXIT supporters have shown that they can not take YES as a win, they have become fanatics, what they should have done is take the PM's deal and then work to get a new leader who supports BREXIT.   The FACT that the FRENCH are making it clear that they could say NO to a delay if it does not mean that the UK has changed its mind about leaving.  Thus HARD REMAINERS will try either for a LONG DELAY or for the UK to revoke Article 50.  Of course the HARD BREXIT supporters could get off their high horse and support the May deal, but one has doubts that the Hard Brexit MPs have the common sense to take the deal, they are throwing the PRIZE of leaving the EU out of the window.    The Conservative Party will not be forgiving for failing the UK voter. 

India and Pakistan Crisis - Nuclear Age

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 4.48pm post, " US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has spoken separately with foreign ministers of India and Pakistan, urging them to avoid "further military activity".  "

Lets Get Real:

One of the bedrocks of the Cold War was the FACT that both the US and then USSR understood that the use of nuclear weapons would mean the end of mankind.  Mutual Assured Destruction or MAD or short, kept both sides from going over the line, the closes the sides come to WAR was in 1962 with the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the USSR placed nuclear weapons in Cuba, at the end the USSR removed the Missiles, while the Kennedy Administration gave a secret assurance that it would take missiles out of Turkey in six months.  In 1983 the Kremlin Leadership had convinced itself that the Reagan Administration was about to do a first nuclear strike, when USSR radar showed a US nuclear strike, a brave and wise Soviet Office did not call the Kremlin, he thought it was a computer error, he was right, that is why we are all here.   When President Reagan learned that the USSR really thought that the US would strike in 1983 it started the path that would lead to the END OF THE COLD WAR with the arrival of President Gorbachev.   The examples above have been given to show how wise people need to make the right choices in the nuclear age.  One can only hope that India and Pakistan understand the COSTS of nuclear war, to miss quote Churchill, it's better to talk, talk, than War, War.
