Trump's threat to Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 10.27am post the following,  " Trump says US may be 'forced' to 'complete the job' "

Let's Get Real:

Trump should finish the WAR he started, losers do not look good in the history books! Trump is a chicken, he writes cheques he can't pay.  HOW many times has Trump threatened to erase Iran, he always bottles it, the Allies WW2 destroyed Axis powers, not talk to them as VP Vance suggested on Meet the Press.  Obama had the Assad Regime in Syria, they crossed his red line and he did not ACT.  Trump is another Obama, WEAK.

Trump on Iran Deal - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 5.57am post, " Trump says deal with Iran will happen 'relatively quickly'...He also denies that he is under "pressure" to make a deal. "

Let's Get Real:

At least the sounds out of the Trump Oval are good, before it looked liked the Tehran Delegation would not turn up.  They must know that they have Trump over a barrel, he wants out of the Iran War, he wants a another WIN to his so called title of Peacemaker when it comes to 10 Wars! He still wants a that illusive Nobel Prize.   It will be interesting to see who concessions he gives to Iran, that they can keep their nuclear stockpile or run the Strait of Hormuz  as they like.  The question is how will sell the deal to the US public after being so critical of Obama's deal.  That is the problem of electing a reality tv show star to the Oval.

Trump's Iran Deal - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 5.43pm post the following, " Trump: Iran's enriched uranium will be brought to the US "

Let's Get Real:

This will be the tricky part in any deal with Iran, the Tehran Regime since the start of the conflict has been firm about Iran's right to have a nuclear stockpile, that is why the US is keeping up its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, it wants a total win.  There is talk that the US will give Iran back 20 billion in frozen Assets.  IN Trump's mind that is not baying the nuclear stockpile, as Obama did with his deal.  A deal is expected in a few days in Pakistan. 

US rejects unfreezeing Iran's assets in the Gulf - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 11.11am post the following" US denies it has agreed to key Iranian demand - as Vance meets Pakistani PM "

Let's Get Real:

One gets the feeling that Iran is playing games with the US, or they believe their own press leaks.  POTUS has been very critical of Obama's deal, and the money he sent back to Tehran.  The last thing he will do is follow the same pattern.  The major issues from this blogs perspective is the Iranian nuclear stockpile and the Strait of Hormuz.  Those issues will decides who wins in this ceasefire talks.

US is working hard to reopen the Strait of Hormuz- Israeli PM

BBC News: Reports in its 7.28pm post thec following " US is working hard to open Strait of Hormuz, Netanyahu says "

Let's Get Real:

The US and Israel are working hard to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Allies should have made sure it was not closed in the first place, they should have warned that any such action would lead to the fall of the Regime and US ground troops.  The Tehran Regime is still there, and its nuclear stockpile, both must be removed, or the operation is a FAILURE.   POTUS needs to understand that end leads the destruction of Presidential credibility. Trump should recalled what happened to LBJ, Bush 43, Obama, and finally his predecessor Biden and Afghanistan.

Putin does not want to end the War in the Ukraime - Sir Keir Starmer

Sky News: Repots in its 5.15pm post that the UK PM Sir Keir Starmer has stated that Putin does not want to end the War in the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

The coalition of the willing should be pro active and send troops to the Ukraine, all they is react to Putin, Reagan would have taken action by now, that was why he was a great President, he was tough with USSR, he called it the Evil Empire for a reason! Putin is the new Stalin, he has played recent Presidents, they all saw what they wanted to see, from Bush 43 to Trump, with the exception of Biden, senile or not.  

What will Trump do about Putin ? - Ukraine - Russia War

Sky News: Reports " Ukraine war latest: Trump says 'you'll see things happen' if he is unhappy with Putin decision .... Donald Trump issues a warning to Vladimir Putin, and says he expects to talk to him over the coming days. Earlier, Putin claimed there was "light at the end of the tunnel" for the conflict in Ukraine. "

Lets Get Real:

There have been rumours of late about the health of POTUS, the liberal media was not that concerned about President Biden and only noticed in his debate with President Trump.  One would suggest that Trump have a full medical to see if all is all right, NO US President would have appeased Putin the way Trump has, he seems his ego cannot take the fact that he was played by Putin, this has happened to Bush 43, Obama, and Trump in his first term.   The US must bring the Russian economy to its knees, make the Russians pay for the WAR, over a million dead and no mass demonstrations in the street, even the people of Imperial Russia managed that in 1917 and bought down the Tsar.  What has happened to the backbone of the Russian people, has decades of Tyranny under Soviet Regime and Putin made them cower in their homes. 

Trump NOW focuses on President Obama - Trump47

The Hill: Reports " Tulsi Gabbard details Obama-related intel findings at White House press briefing "

Lets Get Real:

The theory mad MAGA has reached out of the White House to target President Obama and his handling of the 2016 election.  There is tradition of former Presidents staying out of the way of their Successors in the Oval Office, Reagan never mentioned  Jimmy Carter by name in his eight years in the White House, it was always the previous Administration.  Whatever you think of the former President they had class on the whole to stay out in the wings, well Carter sometimes broke that rule, that is why he was never popular with the successors.   President Obama was never my favourite President, that will always be the Gipper, and he left office with a good 58% in the Gallup poll for job approval, Reagan after 8 years had 63% and the old hound dog, Bill Clinton was on 66%.  The Gipper was happy, his VP become President, no one in modern memory had that happened, with the exception of assassination and resignation, and it has not happened since.  One has to lift one's hat to Obama, he acted with style and class and just released a statement.  The left wing media are his troops and those on the World wide Web.

US Supreme Court nealy makes Trump a KING- Trump47

BBC News:  Reports that the US Supreme Court has given  more authority to Presidential orders than individual Judges.

Lets Get Real:

The left who see liberal Judges as a way to stop POTUS, are furious, there is no Democratic leader, Biden is seen as senile, while Obama keeps his head down, VP Harris is thinking of running for California Governor in 2026. TRUMP is not King, but he is close, Democrats need to wake up and find a new leader for 2026 and 2028.

Regime Change in Iran ? -Trump47

BBC News Reports in its 9.23am post that POTUS has bought up the idea of Regime Change in Iran.

Lets Get Real:

As the article notes Trump has gone further that others in the Trump Administstion in suggesting Regime Change, he came up with MIGA, Make Iran Great Again by getting rid of the theocracy, Trump himself has gone against his own rhetoric on the Campain Trail, he opposes Forever Wars, such as Afghanistan and Iraq.  One hopes that Trump know has some respect for Bush 43, Obama if not Biden.  One hopes that the Iranian people hear his call for change.

Trump angry with Putin over the Ukraine - Trump 47

 BBC News: Reports that in remarks from an interview with NBC, President Trump has stated the following, " Trump 'very angry' with Putin over ceasefire negotiations "

Lets Get Real:

It is about time Trump smelled the coffee and the Russia Bear close by, Russia is not a friend of the US and Europe, it is the enemy, it invaded the Ukraine in 2022 and still there, droning every night.  It is about time Trump placed sanctions on Putin, the Russian President thinks he has Trump as a pawn, and will agree with all his demands.  Is this a new day?   The Russian President has played ever US President since Bill Clinton, he is Mr KGB, he play's on every Presidential weakness, wanting to be seen as a peacemaker and great, Trump is the latest, we shall see what Moscow makes of the change.

Trump will take back the Panama Canal - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 5.38pm post that President Trump will retake the Panama canal.

Lets Get Real:

The Inaugural address was America First on steroids, going after immigrants, renaming the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America, also returning the name President McKinley to a Mountain that President Obama renamed to its original native name. Old President Biden looked like he would rather had root canal or on a rocket to Mars, that was also a Trump promise.   The Liberal media will have a field day, the Trump supporters will be happy, the rest of us will have to look at results.

Trump saved NATO - Trump47

Sky News: Reports that President - Elect Trump said at a presser with the  with the press at 5.10pm that he saved NATO with his ďemands that Europe increase Defence spending.

Lets Get Real:

Welcome to the madness that is a Trump press event and another 4 years! IF YOU took seriously what Trump said you would go bonkers, from Panama to Greenland, he has made threats, you have to be very selective what you report, it is true that Europe has increased Defence spending, but Trump has been following the trend of previous US Presidents, even Obama.  The US media should know when Trump is serious!! That goes for the rest of press across the world.

What about the African -Americans who deserve a Pardon - Trump 47

Guardian: Opinion Article on Hunter Biden Pardon, the article states the following, " Biden could do so much good with pardons. Instead he bailed out his son...Hunter Biden cut the line while thousands of people who deserve similar considerations of mercy languish in prison "

Lets Get Real:

THE pardon of Hunter Biden by his father the President undercuts equal justice for all, because he is a Biden he will never serve a day in jail, also the pardon goes back to 2014, when President Biden was vice - president to President Obama, what is Biden senior afraid a Trump Justice Department will find out about the business deals of Biden junior while he worked in the Ukraine and how much does POTUS know about the deals.  There are African Americans in jail for non violent actions, who should get pardons first before Hunter, one does hope that POTUS gives them a PARDON on the way out.  The USA should be about Justice, fair and equal, the Biden pardon breaks that ethos.

1968 = 2024 - End for Joe Biden - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - End of the Joe Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.15pm post the following, " Biden ends his campaign: What's happened...In the last 90 minutes, President Joe Biden has announced he's ending his campaign for re-election to the White House.  "

Lets Get Real:

It has to happen, President Biden is out of the race and has endorsed his VP.   The political stabbing from his own friends as done the trick, they might have wanted an OPEN CONVENTION but they get VP HARRIS as the heir to Biden.   When one thinks of Harris one is reminded that she was a trough prosecutor is the eyes of the liberal left but also she is a nightmare for work for, and her job approval is in the tank with Biden's.   The Liberal Elite Establishment has WON, Obama, Pelosi, and the US Congress members who afraid of losing their Districts or States.  What will history say about Biden, long serving members of the Senate, even they turned on him, VP , even Obama did not think he was up for the job in 2016 and now more important.   POTUS was old man who refused to accept he was getting old, his memoirs will be a fun read, the praise by Obama and the Clinton's this blog take with a pinch of salt.  At least he can pardon his son Hunter now, no political costs, he will be out of the White House in a few months.  Politics is a brutal game, as the Lady herself said, betrayal with a  smile on his face.

Biden closes the US Border with Mexico to illegals - 2024 Candidates/General Election - Biden Era

 I did watch the debate between the Labour Leader and future PM Sir Keir Starmer and the outgoing PM Sunak.  The debate was  a draw, the Labour Party is going to WIN BIG in July, the biggest Majority since 1924.  There is nothing that the Conservatives can do, 14 years in power is long enough, the next Labour Government could be in power for 15 years, that is the point of a BIG MAJORITY, it was take a few election cycles to get them out.   Also let's not forget the Ukraine, WW3 could be down the road!!  The UK voter cannot say that they were not told.

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 7.30pm post the following, " Biden gives no hard number on when executive order will stop.....Biden doesn't give a number of crossings that will trigger the action to stop, but say that would happen when entries drop to a level that can be effectively managed.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Republicans have stated for ages that the Biden Oval has the legal authority to close the border, it has taken the fact that Biden is sinking in the polls to ACT.   At least this will remove a political arrow from the Republicans, and the Biden Oval can say that that order would have more force if the US Congress had passed the original Biden plan.  Thus far the political polls are tied, one would think that a Party Nominee who has been convicted of a Crime, would fall away in the polls, that has not happened, could it be that the American people have made their mind up about POTUS and it is not good.  It will be interesting to see the polls at the weekend.

DeSantis to seek Presidential Nomination on Wednesday on Twitter - 2024 Candidate/ 2024 Presidential Election

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 7.21pm post, " DeSantis plans presidential announcement on Twitter with Elon Musk - report.....Florida’s Republican governor Ron DeSantis will tomorrow evening officially announce his presidential campaign in a virtual appearance with Elon Musk, NBC News reports, citing three sources familiar with the plans.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the only real candidate who can challenge the Donald. DeSantis won re-election in Florida by 20 point and has made Florida a Republican State.  DeSantis has gone to the right of Trump on abortion, education and going after the work policies of the Big Mouse himself, not many politicians would do that, on foreign policy he had to walk back in his view that the US should not be supporting the Ukraine, it will be interesting to see if he is asked any question on the Ukraine.  The issue of abortion  is also a worry for the Republicans, their limited view is rejected by a majority of Americans and Trump while taking credit for the US Supreme Court decision wants to make a deal on the issue. Thus the real fight for the Republican nomination starts tomorrow. 

Ukraine - Russia Update

It has been an interesting few days, POTUS went to the Ukraine 1st on his trip to Europe, great support for the Ukraine in speech, made Putin react, the Russian President withdrew Russia from the New Start Treaty signed with President Obama, and plamed the West for the Ukraine War, has Putin ever done a real history cause, his facts are wrong, it seems from news reports that Putin has support for the WAR in Russia, well he does control the media, TV and PRESS.

The West must send fighter jets to the Ukraine, delay helps the Russians, also it should be good politics for POTUS, he must sell US support for the Ukraine to the American people, who would have thought that Biden would be a HAWK in foreign policy after the disaster that was Afghanistan, this time Biden must keep supporting the Ukraine, its the right moral and political decision.   24 February, Anniversary of invasion that could still lead to WW3.

NO Visitor Logs for Biden Home - Fox News - Biden Era

Fox News: Reports " No visitor logs exist for Biden's Wilmington home, site of classified doc discovery, WH " counsel's office says  "

Lets Get Real:

This is either good luck or bad luck for POTUS depending on your perspective, on this one this blog would give Biden a pass, the house is his private residence, who takes logs on people going in and out of a private residence.  The Republicans will make hay out of this, they want to and create the impression that classified files were open to any can see, if the President's son Hunter Biden.  The Democrats are caught behind the 8ball, either they defend the President or they look weak by all coming to his defence.  One is sure the Special Counsel will be asking did the President know about the classified files in his own home, either no or yes are bad answer, if he didn't know, one must ask what does he know, or yes means that he broke the law.  This case is a get of jail card for Trump, does not matter how much the liberal elite media say that the cases are different, either charge both of them or cut bait, and that will be the decision of the US Attorney General.
