The Ball is is the American Court - Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports that Iran has stated the Iranian- US talks on Iran's ambitions are in the US Court.

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Regime know that Trump is a TWACO, Trump will always Chicken Out, he does not have Presidential credibility, he likes quick  OPERATIONS, no loss of American lives, such as in Venezuela, likes good headlines, also there are elections in November, the Congress is up for elections, he is NO Reagan as mentioned in previous post, also to be honest the MAGA base after Afghanistan and Iraq do not like long and costly wars.   The exception is weak Presidents, Carter, Biden, will Trump add his name to weak holders of the Oval Office.  Trump's predecessor,  Joe Biden never recovered from the mess of the US leaving Afghanistan, image's that are iconic now! So what will Trump do about Iran.

Trump the WIMP might talk to Iran - Update

Fox News: Reports that President Trump has stated that Iran has called many times, they want to talk.

Lets Get Real:

What is it with Tyrants that Trump likes, from Russia to North Korea and now Iran.  The Tehran Regime are past masters at playing the West.  Reagan tried to talk to them, it got him the Iran - Contra scandal, previous Presidents have tried to talk to Iran and have gotten the run around by the Tehran Regime.  The Theocracy will never give up their nuclear ambitions, what ever they to the Trump Oval, they see weakness and will use that against Trump.  The aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln has just arrived in the Middle East, talks come through strength, use it or lose it, what will Trump do? 

When VP Harris was angry with President Biden - 2028 Update

CNN: Reports that former VP Harris has admitted she has a complicated relationship with the former President, there were times when she was angry with him.

Lets Get Real:

This blog could never see Bush 41 being that frank about Reagan or Biden about Obama.  VP Harris blames Biden, her campaign staff for her loss in 2024, she does not seem to get the fact that outside California she might be a BAD CAMPAIGNER, even Obama from news reports had doubts about her in a general election and wanted her to fight for the Nomination rather than be given it by the powers that control the Democratic Party.  HARRIS is running in 2028.

The Reagan Way - Trump47

BBC News: Reports that President Trump has terminated trade talks with Canada after a advert from recalled that President Reagan had been critical of Tariffs.

Lets Get Real:

The one way to get to Trump is to envoke the Gipper against Trump and his Tariffs, if you have seen Oval Office, there is a picture of Reagan on the left of the Oval Office desk.  The advert has been taken down, the Reagan Presidential foundation is also not happy about the advert, they want to stay out of current politics and keep Trump happy.  All the way with the Gipper.

The New SDI, the Golden Dome - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 9.11pm post that Donald Trump's Golden Dome missile Defence system will be funded from his big beautiful Bill that is going through Congress.

Lets Get Real:

This is an upgrade of Reagan's SDI shield for the Defence of the US homeland, it scared the Soviet Union, it was one of the reasons that Communists threw in the towel and thus ended the COLD WAR, they could no longer match US spending on Defence.   ONE hopes that Putin takes notice, with the Ukraine War going on, Russia cannot match the US, that might be the point of the Dome.  Time will tell.

US and Russia talks to start Immediately on the Ukraine - Trump47

Sky News: Reports that the US and Russia are to start talks immediately on the War in the Ukraine:

Lets Get Real:

POTUS had the cheek to have the portrait of US President Ronald Reagan on his wall, the Gipper will be rolling in his grave, Reagan won the Cold War, Trump has given Putin a WIN in the New Cold War II, he should have portrait of Neville Chamberlain on his walll, the last great appeaser in 1938.  Sad day for Western Security.  Also the US Secretary of Defence has stated that Europe is not US first priority, another win for Putin.

Iranian hostsges praise Carter - Trump47

Guardian: Reports on how former US hostages held for 444 days praise former President Carter for his handling of the Crisis.

Lets Get Real:

One understands the need to show respect for a DEAD US President, but let's get real, Carter was a failed one term President, the Iranian hostages held for 444 days, the failed rescue attempt, the invasion of Afghanistan by the then USSR.  The bad economy, inflation, being nice does not cut it, let's deal with the real world, Reagan was a great President, Carter was deeply flawed and out of his depth, always see the real world reader.

Trump playing to the base in Speech - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election 2024 - Biden Era

 Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.07pm post the following, " Trump wants death penalty for illegal migrants who commit murder...The former president says the country is in a poor state, but he's going to "fix it very fast" if he wins.  "

Lets Get Real:

CNN showed Trump's speech from Florida, it was racist, he stated that the other central and Southern America countries were throwing their prisoners and mental patients on to American soil.  One cannot believe that he is still spouting this kind of rubbish, it is a return to the his original speech when he announced he was running for the Presidency.   Trump has not grown while in OFFICE or losing in 2020 to President Biden.  This is why this blog is supporting VP Harris in this campaign, she will support the Ukraine and defend Israel but also be honest with Israel about its actions in Gaza.   The VP is not this blog's cup of tea, but is better than Trump, and the great Gipper is gone.   Reagan said his last speech from the Oval Office, if there have to be WLLS there needs to be doors, Reagan had been Governor of California. At least the election will be over in a few days, the sane America voters need to vote for Harris, there is such a thing as decency.

Israel also hits Lebanon - Israeli - Gaza War - Biden Era

 Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 11.48pm post the following, " IDF strikes targets in Syria and Lebanon.....Israeli forces have struck targets in Syria and Lebanon, the country’s defence force has said. In separate tweets, the IDF said an aircraft had attacked Hezbollah targets in Lebanese territory, including “infrastructures for directing terrorism and military infrastructures of the organisation”, and that a fighter jet had attacked launchers in Syrian territory. It said both attacks were in response to launches from those areas into Israel.  "

Lets Get Real:

The IDF attack on Hezbollah might be the more important, as they attacked the infrastructures of Hezbollah in Lebanon, as the old saying goes, uses it or lose it, and Iran might have to react, the West should be on ALERT for any talks  between Iran  and Lebanon.  The Israeli - Gaza WAR could take months, Iran knows that if it has the bomb it is protected, if not Israel and the West might have a go to reduce the chance of Iran getting the bomb.   Hamas wants its people to stay in the North of Gaza, this will cause problems for ISRAEL and the US and UK.  Israel should thinking about releasing the video of October 7th to the World, to show how evil HAMAS is.  As for the hostages, the Israeli PM and POTUS should think about 444 days, that is how long the US Diplomates were held in Iran, it cost Carter his 2nd term.

Iran gets 6 billion for US hostages - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports  " Iran prisoner swap: US citizens freed in $6bn deal.. Five Americans jailed for years in Iran and widely regarded as hostages are on their way home to the United States. 

Lets Get Real:

Thus each hostage cost a billion and half, the Biden Oval has had no interest those Afghans the US left behind after their hurried departure from Afghanistan.   The Biden Oval has appeased Iran, the question will it appease Iran over its nuclear ambitions and Tehran giving drones to the Russians to wage WAR on the Ukraine.   The endless talking to Iran has gotten the US and the West nowhere, they have the bomb or are close to the bomb, at some point ISRAEL and the US will need to stand up to Iran.   The Tehran Government thinks that Biden is weak, this will cost the US in the future, that does not help the US or Western security. 

New Iowa Poll - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election

Guardian: Reports " New poll shows Trump's lead grew after Georgia....In the poll, 42% of likely Republican caucusgoers say Trump is their first choice out of 14 GOP presidential candidates, compared to 19% for DeSantis. In third place is South Carolina senator Tim Scott, at 9%. indictment "

Lets Get Real:

The Donald has made it CLEAR that he is not turning up for the first debate with other candidates are expected to attend this week, the wiser political minds have stated that they would not sent a candidate to such a debate, he would have a political target on him, the other candidates will attack the 2nd in the pack, Ron DeSantis as their target, the Governor of Florida has tied to move to the right of Trump, it has not worked, he has given the impression that he would abandon the Ukraine, he has to walk that back.  This week is about the Donald attending Court to hear the 4th charge against him in the State of Georgia.  CNN will cover every second of that process, there will be cameras in the Court.  That might make a difference, one doubts, it will look petty to treat a former President in such a way, and Trump will love the mug shot, if the Democrats force him to have one, as Nixon said 1974, hatred of your enemy destroys you first, as Nixon should know after Watergate.  One does hope that Trump attends  the 2nd Debate at the Reagan Presidential Library, it would be seen as a snub to the Gipper if he fails to attend.

Trump faces FEDERAL CHARGES over Classified Documents - 2024 Candidate - Presidential Election

BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump told he could face charges over classified documents...Donald Trump has been told he is a target of a criminal investigation over the potential mishandling of classified files after he left the White House. "

Lets Get Real:

These are the real serious charges the former President Trump could face, these carry prison time, US national security is a serious matter and has to be protected, in the norm Presidents have Presidential Libraries to show were they come from and what they achieved while President and to allow reporters and historians to see documents that that shows the process of the White House under different Presidents.   The Library is also  a way to bury the disaster of the period of would be disasters, Nixon fought for years to keep his taping system from the ears of the American people. This blog read  an article that described how a reporters tried to get information from the Reagan Library about Iran - Contra an was refused on national security grounds, that was decades after the events.  It seems that Trump was boosting about his papers, the plans to attack Iran, that breaks national security law, and thus Trump should be face Trail, the Donald can run for the Oval Office from prison.  

Biden to run in 20224 - 2024 Candidate/General Election in 2024

Sky News: Reports " President Biden 'planning on running' in 2024 US election - but won't 'announce it yet' "

Lets Get Real:

The best non secret in D.C that POTUS is running for a 2nd Term, his approval ratings are in the toilet, the American people are worried about inflation, and the cost of living, but Biden is lucky, he could face Former President Trump as the Republican nominee.  As the world has seen Trump has been charged in New York with hush money to a porn star.  Also there could be numerous other charges, from the keeping of classified files to trying to start a coup on January 6th 2021.   Thus if Trump in the Republican nominee one can  expect that Bien would win again.  The Republicans need another Reagan, there must be another Republican Reagan, the party has to search hard for another Gipper, Biden has so many faults , he should be easy to beat, there must be a charismatic and sane Republican out there, or else the Democrats will have a good night in November 2024.

Sky looks at the Presidential Approval other Presidents during the Mid Terms - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.43pm post the following, " Democratic strategists have admitted they are limiting President Joe Biden's appearances in battleground states.....They are worried about his abysmal approval rating, which is the lowest on record for any president ahead of their first midterm elections. Mr Biden has now been president for just under 660 days.  "

Lets Get Real:

If you looked at past Presidents, only President Reagan had the lowest level support during his first mid terms, before Biden came along.  Thus Biden White House can argue, that Reagan came back in 1984 and won 49 States, 59% of the vote and 525 electoral votes, and Biden can do the same, from his 40% approval at the moment.  LET'S BE CLEAR, Biden is not fit enough to clean President Reagan's old golf shoes, Reagan was a great President, he would have made sure that the Ukraine was never invaded and called the USSR the EVIL EMPIRE, neither Obama or Biden did this before the Russian invasion in 2014 and now in 2022, there are reports in the weekend press that that the Biden appeasers want KYIV to talk to Putin's Kremlin, they are worried about the allies, that some are weaker in their support than the US.  One can postulate that this is down to Foggy Bottom, in other words the US State Department, they always want to appease.  It would be wise for Mrs B to tell Joe it's time Joe, you have been Vice - President and President, do not run again. The Democrats should have a fair chance to nominate someone else, younger! 

US gives more MILITARY support to Ukraine - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.25pm post the following, " President Biden has confirmed $3bn (£2.5bn) of fresh US military support for Ukraine - the biggest American package yet - which will help Ukraine to acquire weaponry and equipment 

Lets Get Real:

This will not go down well with Putin's Kremlin, the Russians cannot win in the Ukraine, they have the manpower to go on forever, but they lack the high tech weapons and the money, let's recall President Reagan outspent the USSR and forced them to lose the COLD WAR, the Russians could never spend as much as the US.  There is a worry with the COST OF LIVING crisis that the West  will cut bait with the Ukraine, one hopes not, otherwise Putin wins and then the whole of Western Europe comes under THREAT.  The US and the Europe has to support the Ukraine, there is no other choice, otherwise we are back to the appeasement of the 1930s, who wants to be the next Neville Chamberlain. POTUS is following that road with his actions over Iran. 

Biden calls Putin a War Criminal Again - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

White House: Remarks by President Biden on President Putin of Russia, " You may remember I got criticized for calling Putin a war criminal.  Well, the truth of the matter — you saw what happened in Bucha.  This warrants him — he is a war criminal. ...we have to gather the information, we have to continue to provide Ukraine with the weapons they need to continue the fight, and we have to get all the detail so this can be an actual — have a wartime trial.....This guy is brutal.  And what’s happening in Bucha is outrageous, and everyone’s seen it.  "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS has to go for complete sanctions on Russia and Putin, cut off ALL TRADE with Russia, block Russians ships from coming to WESTERN PORTS, also cancel all gas deals with Russia.  The Biden Oval should do the above because its the moral thing to do and its dam good politics, recent polls have shown that Biden's approval ratings are in the toilet, the Oval should be high in the polls, to be fair Biden has gone further than most people expected, banking sanctions, freezing Russian reserves, individual sanctions, this has really hurt the Russian economy and the elite rich who support and keep Putin in power.  On the Ukraine Biden gets low number, thus Biden has to go for it, total embargo of Russia, the WEST has to stop Putin and his new PLAN B, to take South East of the Ukraine and call it victory, the US has stated that it is moving old Soviet tanks in to the Ukraine, why the US cannot do the same with old Soviet Jets is a mystery, they both kill.  This is the time for Biden to show that he has not gone gaga and that he is up to the job.  Think what President Reagan would do, and do it. 

Biden's Poll Numbers in the Toilet - Biden Era

The Hill reports " An NBC News poll released on Sunday registered Biden’s approval rating at 40 percent, the lowest of his presidency in that poll. A Marist College poll released Thursday found 39 percent of Americans approve of the job Biden is doing as president, down from 47 percent immediately after the State of the Union address "

Lets Get Real:

The great American President Ronald Reagan called Biden a demagogue in his diaries, Biden opposed Reagan's polices and was and still is WEAK when it comes to foreign policy, the reason that the KYIV does not have old Russian planes is the fact that Biden does not want to make Putin mad, well it can be argued that Putin is mad already, he does not need a reason to justify his action, so Biden should get over his ego and being wrong for the last 40 years when it comes to foreign policy and give the Ukraine President what he wants to fight the Russia Bear.  It can be postulated that non one has told POTUS that he was not elected for him but to replace Trump, and in 2024 he cannot hide in the bunker, and the press it can be expected will give him a hard time, that they didn't do in 2020.  The November Mid Terms are coming up, Biden should increase defence spending, cut taxes not want to increase them, and support Ukraine, no matter the threats from Putin and Russia.  Reagan was a great President who had a 63% Approval rating in the Gallup poll and 68% in the CBS poll when leaving Office, in less Biden changes track he will be in the low thirties if he is lucky, just ahead of Bush 43. 

Bush 43 to attend the swearing in of President Biden - Biden Era

Daily Mail: Reports " 'Peaceful transfer of power is hallmark of our democracy': George W. Bush in thinly veiled dig at Trump as he confirms attendance at Biden inauguration "

Lets Get Real:

The Bush family is part of the American elite, Bush 43's grandfather was a US Senator, his father was Vice - President and President in his own right from 1989 to 1993 when he failed to win re-election in 1992.   Then Bush 43 who was twice elected Governor of Texas was elected in 2000 or selected by the US Supreme Court, take your pick on that.  The Bush Dynasty has class and understands history, Bush 43 is a great reader of history, and understands the importance of form, if they are not ill former Presidents normally attend the swearing in of their successor.  One does not see Trump attending events with former Presidents, he is thinking of 2024 and can he keep his base within the Republican Party.  The Republican Party needs a new Reagan someone who can go to toe with Trump and has loads of charisma, WHO IS THE QUESTION?

The EGO that is POTUS - Election 2020 - Trump Era

The American colonies, sorry our American cousins are celebrating something or other on 4th of July, something about the Founding Fathers.  This blog of course sees that the Americans did not pay for their Tea, thus the Boston Tea Party.  Throwing caskets of good tea in to the water, not British!!

Guardian: Reports " Trump to preside over Fourth of July celebrations with military show despite criticism..White House aides have reportedly been struggling to draw crowds to event because of last minute arrangements  "

Lets Get Real:

Is there any ending to the Trump EGO, he shuns the old friends of the US and bends over backwards to be nice to President Putin of Russia and the North Korea leader.   On the whole American Presidents do not do a Soviet Style celebration of themselves, they celebrate the meaning of the US and its armed forces, while this the Trump EVENT is about celebrating himself.   One can bet that the footage will be used in 2020 Election.   One's opinion of Lord North ( PM doing the American Revolution ) and Richard Nixon, ( President from 1969 - 1974 ) has gone up.  One's view of Trump never high has gone down the toilet, the most egoistical President in US history, when Americans elected Trump they lost the PLOT, depending if they ever understood the plot, the last great Presidents were Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama for being the first African - American President.   On this 4th of July thank goodness that President Trump is not our problem. 

President Carter on POTUS - Election 2020

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.21pm post the following, " Former president Jimmy Carter says Trump is an "illegitimate president"  "

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.
