Harris LEADS by 4% in new Poll - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports  " Harris edges Trump by 4 points in head-to-head match-up: Survey..The poll, released Wednesday by YouGov, found Harris has 51 percent support to Trump’s 47 percent in a two-way race among registered voters.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Democratic aghast crowd can relax, the VP has kept her healthy LEAD over Trump, the worried crowd do not help their candidate in fact it might depress her voters not come out on election day.  One has to think that the American voters are more sane than the commentators on the Presidential race, they do not flip over every poll.  The VP has shown that she is not afraid to enter the lions den by appearing on Fox News, a testy counter be she came out the other side.   Thus far the VP has been sane, while Trump has been mad as a hatter, if one was to critic  Trump views, one would go MAD!

VP Harris to Appear on Fox News - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Bidem Era

Guardian reports in its 5.25pm post that  VP Harris is to do a sit down interview with Fox News.

Lets Get Real:

IT is about time, people who watch Fox News are not morons, they  can up their own minds, more than can be said of CNN viewers, who even the anchors are afraid of offending.  The election should not be this close, latest polls have either a TIED race or Harris ahead by 1% or 2%, the Democrstic Party is already getting its knickers in a twist, due to how close the election is, they should have let the VP do tough interviews before now.  The VP has to close the deal with the voters, or at least half the nation that watches Fox News

VP Harris leads Trump by 4% - New Poll - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election

The Hill: Reports the following, " Harris tops Trump by 4 points in new national poll......Economist/YouGov poll released Thursday. Harris leads with 49 percent to Trump’s 45 percent  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog is somewhat iffy of polls that show Harris with such a lead, if it was true it would mean that Harris is expect to win big in November, most of the national polls and State polls show a race that have the candidates at tied or with Harris leading by 1% or 2%.  Of course a week is a long time in politics, the Harris campaign has had the candidate on media shows, thus countering the argument that Harris has kept to safe ground.  The View is hardly Fox News, as liberal as they come, if Harris did Fox News that would be shocking.  If Trump is behind in the last two weeks expect him to agree to a 2nd debate with Harris.   The first debate was a win for Harris, a 2nd win would give her the Presidency. 

Time for the US to decide if the Ukraine can WIN its War - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Noted:   VP Harris has agreed to an interview with CNN.  Give  me a break, the ultra liberal CNN is an arm of the Democratic Party, it has been supporting HARRIS since POTUS was forced out of the race.  The questions will be easy, agreeing to CNN shows how weak HARRIS is an a candidate, the campaign does not trust her on Fox News!

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 9pm post the following, " 

Kyiv to present US with list of targets it wants to strike inside Russia - report...

Kyiv will present US officials with a tailored list of long-range targets they wish to strike inside Russia, according to reports....Kyiv has long argued that without the use of long-range weapons, it cannot eliminate the systems Russia uses to fire missiles and rockets at civilian targets in Ukraine.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is decision time for President Biden, he wants a foreign policy success before he leaves in January, Gaza is still on going, and of late the Russians have had more success in the East of Ukraine, while the the Ukraine Army has had some success in the Kursk region of Russia.   The Biden Oval should take the chance and get something right for once, allow the Kyiv Government to use long range missiles from the US in Russia.   The Putin Regime will use the nuclear sabre to rattle those weak in Western Europe, Putin has shown that he does not have the backbone to go nuclear, as he would lose any WAR with the West.   Time for President Biden to support the poor people of the Ukraine and allow them to win this WAR.

RFK Junior Drops out of the 2024 Race and endorses Trump - 2024 Candidate/2024 General Election - Biden Era

Noted: The DNC Convention this week, it had the Obama's, Clinton's, and the new Nominee VP Harris, she is no Barack Obama or Bill Clinton.  I think its the voice, has the grating quality.

BBC News: Reports " RFK Jr suspends campaign to 'throw support' behind Trump.......Robert F Kennedy Jr has said he is suspending his independent run for the US presidency and will support Donald Trump.  "

Lets Get Real:

The RFK candidacy was a dodo, he has fallen in the polls and has become punchline for JOKES about a dead worm in his brain, and the placing of a dead bear in New York.  In polls numbers had fallen to under 5%, one can assume that his votes will split between Trump and Harris, and endorsement is always good and makes the liberal media cover someone other than Harris.   It will be interesting to see the polls next week, a convention is worth a few points in the polls, this blog as policy does not insult its own intelligence and those of its readers by watching scripted events, speeches by Churchill, Kennedy, Reagan YES, even President OBAMA when he is on form.   Otherwise just read the reviews, just recall everyone has as agenda.  Even this blog! At this blog is honest about it, unlike CNN or even Fox News.  

President Biden to debate former President Trump Twice - 2024 Candidates / 2024 General Election - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in 4.56pm post the following, " Trump accepts invitations for two debates with Biden.....The first, hosted by CNN, is scheduled for 27 June in Atlanta, and the second, hosted by ABC, is set for 10 September at a location that has not been announced yet.  "

Lets Get Real:

It is surprising that either candidates accepted the debates, on the Trump side, he is going in to the mouth of the liberal press, the anchors on CNN can barely contain the expectation that Trump will be found guilty in his Court Case and be sent to prison, on the Biden side the campaign staff must be worried that Biden will say something stupid that they have to walk back.  Also the debates are early and not done through the usual process, what about the Conventions , the election does not normally start in till after Labour Day, September 1st.   Are both sides worried about the polls, is Trump really in the lead in the Swing States, does Biden know something that hi s campaign does not, he does trust the polls.  The rest of the networks  will be up in arms, Fox OR NBC, will winder why they were not given a chance, thus the modern Campaigns.

Hunter Biden's Tax Problem - The Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Hunter Biden tax probe improperly handled - whistleblower...A US tax special agent has information about how a criminal investigation into the son of US President Joe Biden has been hampered by "political considerations", says his lawyer.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Campaign for 2024 need above like a hole in the shoe, the Biden Oval has delayed its intention to run 2024, while Trump and others are running for the Republican nomination.  If the Biden Oval does not know how the investigation of his son is going then its clueless  and should not run in 2024, if the President's son is charged with tax fraud, it really hurts the Biden Oval, will he Pardon his son if he tried and found guilty, will the LIBERAL media cover the story, it was on NBC last night.  It will be curious to see if the uber liberal CNN covers the story, they are still obsessed with the Fox News story, they hate Trump and Fox so much they have lost the plot. CNN in its heyday was great, it was the channel of choice for news, not anymore. 

US warning to NATO to be wary of Russia using Tactical nuclear weapons in the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports in its 9.22pm post last night " 

US urges NATO vigilance for signs Russia could use nuclear weapon in Ukraine......

The US and its NATO allies must remain alert for signs Vladimir Putin could use a tactical nuclear weapon in a "managed" escalation of his war in Ukraine, a top US diplomat said today...Tactical nuclear weapons are designed for battlefield gains or for use against limited military targets.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog is surprised that the above did not get more news time on the 24 news channels, the problem is that the news channels have gotten bored with the story, their ratings go higher for local stories, CNN has become obsessed with the Fox News Trial, there hatred is more than a rival, they hate that rival is more popular than them, they have a high view of themselves, they should not, they have had their own internal scandals, those they have not covered,  their hatred of Trump has not bounds, what will they do if Trump get the Republican nomination next year, just  cover the limited time POTUS gives to the press and cover for him when he makes a mistake. In 2020 Biden ran from his home bunker, will the press allow him to get away with that in 2024.  One can expect the liberal press, NYT and CNN to over for him, it makes one smile that CNN still thinks it is a objective news network.  They are so out of it, its mad, the same can be said of Fox News, they support the viewers who watch them, thus those on the Trump side watch Fox.

One would not be shocked if Putin did use a tactical nuclear weapon in the Ukraine, he has nothing to lose, the Russian offensive has stalled and the Ukraine is waiting from reports for the ground to get harder, thus they can use their new tanks and fighter jets to take the fight to the Russian bear. Let's hope they are successful, one hopes they understand that they have to wait for Western approval to take the Crimea, the Russians have dug new deep trenches, and they might consider the Crimea a RED LINE for them.  Thus the use of tactical nuclear weapon to STOP the forces of the Ukraine.  

The Road to 2024 Presidential Run - Trump and O' Reilly

Guardian: Reports " Trump finds historical muse in tourmate and ex-Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly...Ex-Fox News host who was forced out in 2017 following sexual harassment accusations will join former president in Florida and Texas in December  "

Lets Get Real:

The LEFT WING media can not let Trump alone, if you happen to pick CNN for your News, you would think that Trump was still President, they can not avoided a day when they are not talking about him.   The Guardian article is critical, what do you expect from the uber left liberal Guardian, but they are missing the point, Trump has his BASE with the Republican Party and O' Reilly is still popular with Fox News viewers.   Although Twitter an Facebook has banned Trump, he still manages to get through.   When the interview starts, you can be sure CNN will look for something to be critical, while Fox News will just do straight reporting.   Trump was a disaster as President, the list of mistakes is TO LONG, but after four years of Biden, the US voter might was some fun again.   The influence of Trump will be seen in the 2022 Mid Terms, do his candidates, does the Republican Party retake the House and Senate, that should show the influence of Trump.   This blog does not think Trump will run, he might prefer one of his adult children run, but then will his ego allow that, that will be the fun. 

POTUS returns to home base, - Fox News - US Presidential Election

Guardian: Reports in its 10.40pm post the following, " The president will make his first media appearance since the Joe Biden was widely called as the winner of the presidential election. Donald Trump tweeted that he will appear on rightwing host Mark Levin’s show on Fox News at 8pm ET tonight, where he says he will discuss “the Mail-In Ballot Hoax!”  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus POTUS is still not accepting the election result, this makes Al Gore look like he followed decorum with his battle in the Courts in 2000 verses Bush 43.  One has to assume that someone in the Trump family has the guts or love to tell Trump that it is over for 2020, but he if he wants to run in 2024 this is the time to clear the decks, concede to Biden, by phone or text if he wants, get down to Georgia, to help the Republicans keep the US Senate and have the ability to block the Biden Agenda.   Then as was the plan in 2016, start his own TV Channel or get a show on Fox, he has a base of voters who will tune it, and he can go after Biden, night after night, someone did call the White House the most comfortable Federal Prison.  As for CNN, have you noticed that they have not mentioned COVID - 19, Trump was right about that, they liberal media will be kissing the backside of Biden for months, let's face it, Biden will not get the viewers in, they might end up having to give TRUMP air time, just to get their viewership up.   Those anti Trumpers in the Republican Party will need to show that they are REAL Republicans, thus their friends in the uber liberal media will not be so nice to them, in les they are Republicans in name only, in other words Democrats. 

Not 1992 but 2016 - The Clinton Legacy

The New York Times: Reports " Celebrating a 25-Year-Old Clinton Win, but Still Stung by a More Recent Defeat "

Lets Get Real:

HRC expected to win in 2016, the Crown was there for the taking, and she failed.   Whatever you think of President Trump he had his finger on the pulse of the US voter, the same as Bill Clinton had in 1992.   The sexual allegations against Bill Clinton should have taken him down in 1992 and they didn't,  the US voter wanted someone who would fix the economy, the same with Trump,   The Clintons created Trump in way in 1998, the liberal defence of Bill Clinton at its core was that the affair with the intern did not stop him doing his job, the US Presidency in their eyes did not mean you had to have a morale President, well then you have Trump in 2016.  On Fox News it was reported that Bill Clinton asked HRC why she was not doing polling and going to the rust belt States, HRC it is stated told the Old Hound Dog that he didn't understand modern politics or how data was used as a tool in modern elections.   A pastor on CNN stated a wise thought, " Data does not vote ".   HRC did not need the FBI to lose in 2016, that is a lesson that some ultra loyal Clinton supporters do not understand, HRC is a BAD CANDIDATE, she learned nothing from the Old Hound Dog. 

The SHOW that is President Trump - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Influential Republican Senator Bob Corker has unleashed a blistering attack on US President Donald Trump, calling him "utterly untruthful". "

Lets Get Real:

There is only one show in town that matters in D.C and it is called Donald Trump.  Over the past few days the Donald has been in a battle with a widow of a  US Soldier, the liberal press has been loving it, what would Anderson Cooper do with two hours of air time if he did not have the Donald, Oh yes REAL REPORTING, that seems to have gone out of fashion on CNN.   The blog is calling for the return of fair and balance in the shape of FOX NEWS, the liberal/Media, that includes the paper press and CNN/BBC News is no longer challenged by Fox News, they just slam Trump, they do not care any more to show any balance.  BAD DAY FOR THE PRESS. 

Liberal/Left Wing reaction to President Trump's speech - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports the following on the reaction at the UN to the speech by President Trump, " The speech was greeted in the UN chamber mostly with silence and occasional outbreaks of disapproving murmurs, as Trump castigated a succession of hostile regimes.  "

Lets Get Real:

The liberal/left with castgate Trump for his speech, think of the 1930s and the age of appeasing Hitler, and you get the idea,  the left only know how to appease, if the World has listened to this lot the Berlin Wall would have not come down, they never want to fight for something, God forbid you support your Democratic elected PM or President.  Listening to CNN this afternoon one almost got the impression they almost prefered North Korea or Iran to their own US President.   It will be interesting to see what happens should things get very hot in Asia, will CNN blame both sides, or just Trump.  This blogger misses Fox News, they were fair and balanced, the CNN and BBC News of 24 news cycle are so predictable, it's not even funny any more. 

Right Wing OR Left Wing Media - Trump Era

The Hill: Reports " Trump presser takes questions exclusively from conservative media "

Lets Get Real:

Now the left wing press is angry that President Trump it taking questions from their view the right wing media, well it should not shock them, after the last few days of press coverage the LEFT wing press is lucky that Trump allows them back in to the White House.    The old press elite do not control the news, with 24/7 news and the internet people are finding their news from other sources, who is going to read a webpage, paper or watch a TV channel that does not agree with their view of the World.   That means the left wing press should try hard to be fair, and being fair that is the middle of the spectrum for them.   The old days of the urban elite media controlling the media is OVER, thank goodness for Fox News.

New Acting AG will follow Trump's orders - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " Trump's new acting attorney general will enforce immigration order "

Lets Get Real:

At least there is some common sense within the Washington system, the Department of Justice is there to follow the law and the orders of the President.   The uber left will scream, they always do that, they will have protests, they will call Trump another Nixon.  Let us recall that Nixon won elections, and if Watergate happened today it can be argued that Nixon would not have resigned, Fox News would have supported him through the period.  The US left sometimes goes off a cliff without getting the fact that its on very thin ice with the voter. That is why Republicans tend to win Presidential elections.

POTUS and the Intelligence Agencies - Part 2 - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " President Trump visited the CIA on Saturday in a conciliatory bid to end a feud with the intelligence community -- a dispute he suggested was overblown by the media -- while making clear one of his top priorities will be to destroy Islamic State terror groups. "

Lets Get Real:

The Fox News is more sympathetic to a Republican President, thus has a different view than the Guardian.   The Trump Administration wants to bury the hatched with the Intelligence Community, it needs them, if the IC feel it has been let down by a President it can leak that causes great damage, thus wise move by President Trump.  The Oval Office should allow the CIA to be the CIA, do what needs to be done to take down terrorists groups, be the right  hand of the President.  Thus a good day for President Trump.

The TRUMP lands in D.C - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " Trump makes rounds in DC, after completing Cabinet line-up "

Lets Get Real:

It was fun watching BBC News has it covered the arrival of the President - Elect in Washington D.C, it was so biased it was nuts, one interview was about the psychology of the President, and then a writer said he was afraid of the results of a Trump Presidency.  BBC News really has to grow up, is the level of coverage we are going to get, if so this blog suggests that News Junkies turn on to Fox News, at least they are objective in their coverage, a Conservative edge but objective.     The liberal mainstream press has to get over itself, this coverage recalls the early Reagan years, in around 1980 the left wing Guardian had a cartoon of Reagan in cowboy costume and the ruins of the Capital Hill, yes dear voter, they were nuts at the time.   Let us hope we get better coverage tomorrow. 

Network's Birthday = 40 - Modern TV News

Guardian: Reports " Network at 40: the flawed satire that predicted Trump and cable 'news porn'...Prescient and powerful, the film foreshadowed the likes of Bill O’Reilly with its ‘mad as hell’ protagonists and the climate of American anger that birthed Trump "

Lets Get Real:

IF you are a real news junkie you have seen Network, if you have not seen Network then you are not a news junkie, it showed the future from 1970s, it misses out on the Internet but then nothing is perfect.    It shows how ratings is the game, or today clicks on websites, how news would be sexed up, it should have a fast pace, and in your face as represented by the main character in the movie.  Over this holiday period try to watch it again or buy the DVD.  To the modern viewer it will shock you how close it is to reality, I would tell you end but that would be a spoiler even after so many decades, it does shock.

Clinton 4% LEAD over Trump - Election 2016 - Clinton Era

BBC News - Live Reporting: Reports in its 3.23 post the final Fox poll, ' Clinton 48%, Trump 44%...'

Lets Get Real:

Thus this race is OVER, one can wait up all night tomorrow for the final result, but it would be pointless, once HRC takes Florida and keeps the other Blue States the election is over.   SO what can say of the 2016 election, its was low brow, dirty, racist, of no real substance.   The only hope for Republicans is that voters will elect HRC but they want o make sure that she is under control of a Republican Congress, on the other hand if the Latino vote is heavy this might shift the Congress over to the Democrats.   The next election cycle will be the 2018 Mid Terms, politics never end.

Trump LOST in the snow of New York - Election 2016

Guardian - US Politics Live: Reports the following in its 6.13pm post, " ..Donald Trump’s. The billionaire retreated to his Manhattan home for the night, and got stuck in New York when the storm hit New Hampshire ".

Lets Get Real:

It seems that the Donald is easy to scare, first it was Ms Kelly from Fox News, and now its the snow in NH.  Everyone knows its snows HARD in NH every few years, and the Donald did think of it shows that HE IS NOT REALLY running for President, if your running for POTUS you have to put with staying hotel rooms and being in NEW HAMPSHIRE, the fact that this point has been lost by DT shows that he does not think things through and would be a disaster as President.  To be fair the Donald was good on CNN last night when he talked to Anderson Cooper of CNN while in NH.   It is pity that the Donald needs his own bed to sleep in. he is not big enough for the bedroom of POTUS.
