The NEXT US President - Joe Biden - US Transitional Phase


Lets Get Real:

This blog has kept out of US politics after the Presidential Election, Trump has still not conceded and still thinks the election was stolen from him, he lost the popular vote by millions and Biden had a good victory in the electoral college.   POTUS has sent out hundred of tweets to the effect that he WON the election and complaining that the US Supreme Court has not bent to his will.  Also he has been using his PARDON power to help his friends and Republicans.  The fact that he not giving intelligence information to the Biden Campaign, should worry Democrats and Republicans, what if he supports an Israeli ATTACK on Iran, thus Biden could find that he has an active WAR on his hands.  Also the Biden Administration will have to deal with a Russian cyber attack on Government departments, how will a President Biden react to that.  Of course he will appease Iran, he will try to get the Obama Iran Deal back in to place, that could cause problems.  The White House staff should bring Biden out for big events and speeches, Biden should rest in the afternoon, JFK did, well if you call it rest. Even the Gipper was known to take 40 winks, and they are considered GREAT PRESIDENTS.   The above was the original premises of the TV Show, the West Wing, but then they found that people liked Martin Sheen as President , ( great actor, even if the character he was playing was weak as dishwater, had a meltdown even if he had to take military action or covert action ). Biden can not afford to have the perception that he has gone gaga ( not the singer but the medical condition.  

The DAY after Brexit - 1st January 2021 - After Brexit


Lets Get Real:

One hopes individuals and business have gotten the message of Brexit and are following the NEW RULES, the papers have been full of them, but of course there will be problems, more on the EU side this blog expects, the French will want to show their customs management working, thus be sure to follow the custom rules, and read up on the dog passport, dogs are for life not just Christmas.  The UK side we shall see the end of free movement, thus lower immigration, no more subs to the EU, that can go to the NHS and to Northern England.  Thus life after Brexit, the HARD BITTEN remainers think that Brexit will be disaster, they almost want it to be a disaster!  Thus the UK has to make it work, just show the remain press that the UK does not need the EU and we can be Great again as a sovereign NATION. 

ERG seem to support Brexit Deal - After Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " Hardliners fall in behind Brexit deal: Boris Johnson appears to win support of Tory Eurosceptics for his EU trade agreement "

Lets Get Real:

One hopes the Daily Mail article correct, it would be good for the Conservatives to face 2021, there are other issues to have a rebellion about, when will the Government lift the tier system, how many people have had to have the vaccine.  The UK economy is in the basked after the virus, the Chancellor will need to open his wallet to support pubs and restaurants who have been forced to close for most of the year.  There are suggestions that the Chancellor will need to rise taxes to pay back for the Government spending, it is then that the MPs will have to keep their nerve, the next election is four years away, take some of the tough medicine NOW and cut taxes closer to the election.  A return to normal of politics, well normal politics after Brexit and the COVID 19 virus.
