President Biden on President Putin - The forthcoming Summit - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.45pm post the following,  comments made by President Biden on his forthcoming meeting with Putin of Russia, " The US president emphasized that he wanted to see whether there are areas where he and Putin can work together to promote the interests of their countries and the world at large...But Biden declined to provide many specific details, saying he did not want to negotiate in public with reporters.  "

Lets Get Real:

IF this blog was on the White House it would be worried that Putin would eat Biden for breakfast, if you believe the intelligence, then Putin is a ruthless killer, who will do what it takes to remain in power.  Let's recall that Putin has been in power since 2000, either as President or Prime Minister.  Bush 43 stated that he had seen the soul of Putin, one critic stated that the Putin soul had KGB stamped on it.   The POTUS should expect a tough and frosty meeting, neither side has much to give and Putin has read Biden, he is a empty suit who will not do anything if there is a REAL CRISIS, aka Cuban Missile Crisis or the Russian fear in 1983 that the US was about to do a first strike on the USSR.   Thus the West should expect more game playing by Putin, what next, an invasion of the rest of the Ukraine, a threat to the Baltic States, all these could happen, Putin is that ruthless and with no morals. 

GB News makes a SPLASH - Culture

Daily Mail: Reports " GB News' inaugural Sunday evening show attracts 107,000 more viewers than Sky and nearly 32,000 more than the BBC "

Lets Get Real:

GB News could have called itself the BREIXT CHANNEL one can postulate that without 2016 vote and the 2019 general election there would be no GB News channel.   The UK voter has showed that they are fed up with the REMAIN, Westminster views of the BBC News and Sky News reporters.   What interests London reports might not be that interesting in the Red Wall up North.  Thus expect BBC News and Sky News to some changes, they will carry on with their rolling news one that this blog admires, in fact it can be argued that this blog is a  Sky News junkie, they always get the story first, to be followed by the BBC.  The BBC does seem to take its time for breaking news.  So good luck to the Reporters at GB News and the staff. 

Indian ( Delta ) Variant gets holds of Wales - COVID - 19

BBC News: Reports " The Delta variant, first identified in India, is now the most common strain of new Covid-19 cases in Wales.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus FREEDOM DAY is off, one can expect the Welsh Government to follow the same path as England, they might even bring in a tighter lockdown, the pubs could close again, not that its much fun to visit them NOW, you have to sign in and get table service, that can ruin a good pub crawl and sober you up.   It is import that everyone is WALES gets the jab, if you are still waiting don't.  If you get the jab you are saving your life and the lives of others.   The extra four weeks of lockdown should be it, no more.  The economy can not take it, and people need to feel that they are returning to a normal life.  At thus rate COVID - 19 will have taken up two years, YES TWO YEARS, enough is enough. 

The US Supreme Court and the Biden Administration - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " Five big upcoming Supreme Court decisions "

Lets Get Real:

If OBAMACARE is going to be over turned, this is the time for the Conservatives Judges to ACT.  The point of putting Conservative Justices on the Court was to prevent a liberal Biden Administration from acting on its agenda.   President Trump placed three Conservative Judges on the Court, let's see if they follow through as to why they were placed there.  On voting rights, its the States that decide how their people vote, not the US Congress or the Supreme Court, one hopes that the Court allows the States to decide what is a LEGAL VOTE and the process for that.  It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
