Former VP Harris might run in 2028

CNN: Reports the following, " I Know what it requires’: Harris on why she’s thinking about running for president in 2028  "

Let's Get Real:

This not a great idea by the former VP, that what happens when people close to her do not tell her truth, she was  not a great candidate in 2024, and she did not face challengers, VP was given the nomination by Biden, after his disastrous debate performance against Trump.  There is also the issue that women have created their own glass ceiling, they do not want a woman President, never mind men.  AFTER the Mid Terms in November, the 2028 cycle starts.

Trump to release Dr Martin Luther King Jr Files

Sky News: Reports that the Trump Administration is to release the Files on the assassination of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

Lets Get Real:

These files should never be released, as if previous reporting, the Files contain allegations that Dr King had affairs, so did JFK, but Dr King was hero to African Americans and his fight for civil rights in 1964 and for voting rights in 1965.   These having nothing to do with his personal life.   The US needs its heroes, JFK's affairs did not help with his political reputation later, some heroes have to be protected, thus case with Dr King.   This is a diversion by the Trump Administration.

President Trump's Inaugural Address - Trump 47

 

Lets Get Real:

You decide, a great speech from the heart or scary on all fronts.

Hamas says NO to Ceasefire in Gaza - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era and Searching for a Legacy

Sky News: Reports in its 6.49pm post the following, " 

Hamas rejects new Israeli conditions in Gaza ceasefire talks....

Israel and Hamas have been sticking firmly to their demands for months as the US, Qatar and Egypt have tried to broker a deal. "

Lets Get Real:

This development is not breaking news, it seems that President Biden will have to go on looking for a Legacy, what the Biden Oval should recall if his VP gets the nod from the voters in November, that will be a major legacy, the first Woman, the first African American woman elected to the Presidency.   Thus Biden should do whatever the Harris Campaign wants him to do, if they want him to stay in the White House and say nothing, he should do that.   Israel under its present PM wants to destroy HAMAS as  a force and a ideology, they want to win, no matter what a President who is leaving in 5 months says.  In the Middle East it has always been an eye for an eye, since the dawn of time, something things do not change. 

Republicans are UNITED in Convention - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.30pm post the following, " Defeated Trump rivals to preach unity at Republican convention...After bruising debates against each other, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis will give speeches on party unity. "

Lets Get Real:

The Republican Party is showing a UNITED FRONT, that is more than can be said of the Democrats, those on the Hill who want Biden OUT, are still pushing for that.   The invitation to Governor Haley is new, she kept in the race a long time, the Trump Campaign was not happy, this shows that Trump has learned to do what it takes to win in the Suburbs, women because of the abortion issue tend to vote Democratic.  The campaign knows that it will need to attract the female vote, or least take some women votes from the Democrats, the same goes for the African America vote and other ethnic groups, the campaign is back on track and the Democrats are playing dirty. 

Trump found GUILTY of sexual abuse in Civil Trial in New York - 2024 Candidate/ 2024 Presidential Election

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.10pm post the following, " Jury finds Trump sexually abused Carroll, awards $2m......A federal jury in New York City has found that Donald Trump sexually abused advice columnist E Jean Carroll and awarded more than $2m in damages, Reuters reports. However, the jurors did not agree with Carroll’s allegation that the former president raped her, according to Reuters.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Jury went with a split decision, thus Trump is not a Rapist, but is a sexual offender, we see how that plays out with the Republican voters, one can expect the liberal press to go to town on the issue.  The Republican leadership will have their ears to the ground to see how Republican voters see the result.   The Party of Ronald Reagan cannot have a sex offender as the nominee, the Trump Lawyers will appeal, and call the decision a political stunt as the Jury did not like Trump or his politics.  Even President Biden should be able to defeat Trump now, one does hope or is the US voter in 2024 going to place as a Sky News reporter called him a Sex Offender in the White House.   Then one must speculate are there others out there, we shall see!

Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland has resigned - UK Union

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.01pm post the following, "  Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed that she is resigning as Scotland's first minister.....recent months have seen controversies over gender reforms, which have been blocked by the UK government  "

Lets Get Real:

Normally long term leaders, like Thatcher get thrown out by her Cabinet, this blog was shocked to hear that Nicola Sturgeon had resigned, of late all we have heard from Scotland is Nicola Sturgeon and the debate about trans rights.  The sole purpose of the SNP is break up the UK.  The recent polls have shown that the direction is going the other way, due to the political decisions made by Sturgeon and the Scottish Parliament when it comes to the TRANS issues, the support for the break up of the Union has faded, the UK Supreme Court stated that the Scottish Parliament can only have a referendum on a Independent Scotland if it is granted by the UK Parliament, and that is not going to happen at present.  Thus we must take the First Minister by her words, that it was the right time to go, people will be discussing this for years, it will be like when Harold Wilson resigned out of the blue in 1976, of late new information has come out, it seems that the late Queen saw that Wilson had declined and tried to suggest time for him go, in this she was supported by Wilson's wife back home.  One does think 8 years is enough for any leader, Blair made the mistake of staying on for 10 years, before being pushed out by Gordon Brown and his supporters.  One must respect Sturgeon, she did a tough job, not my cup of tea, and held to her view, before making her mind up, that enough was enough. 

The TRANS DEBATE - UK vs Scotland - Culture/Political

BBC News: Reports " UK government to block Scottish gender bill...It will be the first ever use a Section 35 order, which stops a Scottish bill from becoming law.  "

Lets Get Real:

The King should not be dragged in to this, it's a argument between the rest of the UK and Scotland, as to the move by UK Government this blog supports the move and would suggest 21 should be the minimum age before someone can change their gender in legal terms.   This blog was an idiot before it turned 21, it was simple and did not understand the real world, therefore 21 should be the starting age for such change.  The Scottish First Minister has lost the plot, she has started to believe her own spin, never a good by a politician and she wants to make Scotland Independent of the rest of the UK, this blog is not sure that she could win a referendum on the issue, is this a case of the left going well off the reservation and knowing that FACT.  Good move by the UK Government, so who holds the power, and it's not the Scottish Parliament when it comes to this issue.  

Another Nuclear THREAT from Russia - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.02pm post the following, " 

Former Russian PM believes Putin's speech included veiled nuclear threat..

Mikhail Kasyanov....Speaking to Sky News, he pointed out that Mr Putin promised to defend the annexed territories as new sovereign territories of Russia "by all means" necessary.   "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are sabre rattling again, this has to STOP, the best way to is to say that should Putin use a tactical nuclear weapon on the Ukraine then NATO and the EU will accept Ukraine as member on the hour that the bomb goes off. Putin is mad bully, talking to bullies gives them more power, they have to be countered, even at the threat of WAR.  One hopes that the Biden Oval has made it clear, that should Russia use a tactical nuclear weapon then ALL BETS ARE OFF, the West will react with the placing of NATO troops in to the Ukraine, and will upgrade the weapons that NATO Countries give to the Ukraine.  Putin thinks the West is WEAK, that it cares more about Trans rights than the people of the Ukraine, this is the time to show him, that he is WRONG.  The Biden Oval can defend trans rights, but also defend the Ukraine, its about rights at the end of the day, and Putin is a modern Hitler, at least Stalin had communism in his mind to justify the mass murder.  Putin needs to be seen to be defeated, or this problem will come again. 

Taliban BAN girls from School - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " The Taliban have excluded girls from Afghan secondary schools, after they ordered only boys and male teachers to return to the classroom.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the TRUE face of the Taliban, the Taliban2.0 was a smoke screen for the media, it seems in all their years out of power that the Taliban took media lessons, of course most of the media coverage Afghanistan has shifted on to other stories, that is the nature of 24/7 news cycle.  The Taliban as this blog has stated are lying, murdering scumbags, how POTUS can look at his face in the mirror and not looked ashamed, he is Catholic, and claims to be a good one, how could he walk the other side of the street while knowing what the Taliban are, no one with honour or dignity would have behaved in such a manner.  The Republican should hammer this home in the MID TERMS and in the general election of 2024.  The World faces another three years of Biden, one can only image what a mess he will create in that time.  

Women BANNED from Sport by the TALIBAN - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports " Afghan women to be banned from playing sport, Taliban say.. National cricket team included in prohibition, as interim government containing no women starts work  "

Lets Get Real:

Those that thought the Taliban had been reborn as Taliban2.0 have been shown to the WRONG, the Taliban are lying murdering bastards, who deserve the contempt of the West.  One hopes NONE of the Western powers accept Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.  It can be postulated that the Taliban will allow various terror groups to come back to Afghanistan and train, from Al Qaeda to other Islamic terror groups.   The thought that the Taliban will really try to take on ISIS-K is for those who are naïve to think that Biden was right to leave Afghanistan.  Thus it can be postulated that the West will face an increase in terror threats, the Islamic terror groups will have the US leaving Kabul as an example of them winning.  In fact Afghanistan was given to the TALIBAN by POTUS, a weak and feckless President. 

Afghan Women PROTEST at ALL MALE Taliban Government - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Dozens of women in Kabul and the north-eastern Afghan province of Badakhshan have protested against the formation of an all-male interim Taliban government to rule Afghanistan. "

Lets Get Real:

The West really has let down the women in Afghanistan, women will be banned from work and forced to stay at home, girls will not get an education, Western culture will be banned, the TV will have only Taliban PR.  One really hopes that the CIA, MI6, SAS, and US Special Forces ARE in Afghanistan to get Western citizens out and to help those that are putting up a resistance to the Taliban.  If YOU watch the 24/7 news networks they are back to covering for Biden, they can hardly say he is an idiot after they got him elected.  On the UK side we are back to domestic politics, thus Afghanistan will be filed as a lost cause, if worthy attempt to change Afghanistan, it failed in the end.

The Failure of PM Johnson when it comes to Biden and Afghanistan - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.30pm post the following, " G7 has not resulted in extension of 31 August deadline for evacuations, says German chancellor...Boris Johnson just now appeared to confirm G7 leaders had failed to convince Joe Biden to push back his withdrawal deadline - and we've now had it confirmed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.  "

Lets Get Real:

The PM has shown he is feckless, he could not even SHAME Biden to extending his 31st August Deadline to leave Kabul.  It shows that Biden is a human version of Trump, they are both " American First " characters.  Also it shows that Biden it not fit to be President, he has had this view about Afghanistan for years, from his Senate days although his VP days under Obama.  Over time people listen, Biden refused to listen his National Security team when it came to Afghanistan, he thinks he is the best man to understand foreign policy, news to Biden Oval, your no FDR, or Richard Nixon.  One can assume that Tehran will push to allow it be become a nuclear power, China will try something WHEN it comes to Taiwan.  If the Baltic States are wise they will want to remind Biden that if one is attacked, ALL are attacked, that is Article 5 of the NATO charter.  Black clouds will appear and it is down to Biden. 

Afghanistan Update - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.39pm post the following, " security at the city's airport has deteriorated significantly, according to several Western governments...the US advised Americans not to travel to the airport due to "potential security threats".  "

Lets Get Real:

One hopes the American voter understand how much POTUS has damaged US security and leadership role on the World.  The messy attempt to get people out at the Kabul shows that the Biden White House could not plan a drinking session in a pub!! People are dyeing due to government process that does work in a crisis case like the Kabul airlift.  The US and the UK should open the gates, and take as many people are possible, it should not matter if they have the right paperwork, lives matter, paper and process can be worked out later.   There is a picture of a plane taking off with near empty seats, due to the vetting method set up by the allies.  At some point the Biden Oval will be sick of the pictures from KABUL and order an end, thousands of Afghans who worked for the allies will be left behind, also citizens from the West.  They will be the hostages of the Taliban, how grim can you get.

The Taliban TERROR starts in Afghanistan - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 5.32pm post, " Dozens of protesters in Jalalabad had raised the Afghan national flag and lowered the Taliban's own flag on Wednesday - the day before Afghanistan's independence day... The Taliban responded by firing into the crowd.. At least three people have died, Reuters news agency reported (13.01 post). "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the mask has come off the Taliban, outside of Kabul the Capital the Taliban are returning to the bastards they are, violence, stopping civil rights, preventing girls going to school, even taking them as wives.  Women have been forced from work, after the Western media has gone the TALIBAN will be even more violent and persecute women, minority groups, God help you if you are gay in Taliban Afghanistan.  All this could have been avoided if Biden was a better man and President, he is a political hack who has learned NOTHING, he gets everything WRONG, and Biden is President for the next three and half years.   Let's hope the Republicans chose a strong national security candidate in 2024.

Propaganda by the Taliban - On the role of Women - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 3.07pm post,  on the role of women in Taliban controlled Afghanistan, " "[We] are committed to the rights of women under the system of Sharia [Islamic law]," Mujahid says. "

Lets Get Real:

The above is just Taliban propaganda, once the Western press it out of Afghanistan they will return to their old ways, the PR by the Taliban shows they have learned a thing or two about modern PR, it is like when Nazi Germany or the USSR showed the West what some of its naïve apologists wanted to HEAR.  Once the press and the US is out of Afghanistan, women will be barred from work, girls will not get an education, WESTERN influence will be removed, TV's might stay but only showing Taliban propaganda, OTHER Western culture aspects will be destroyed, music, books, film, you could make a bet on it.   The Taliban is giving the naïve TV Western press what they want to hear, its BS.  The 2nd Taliban War starts now, the terrorist groups will be back and they will be planning to attack the West and the US.   

Mayor Bloomberg and his Past Remarks - US Election 2020

Guardian: Reports " Michael Bloomberg dogged by more past controversial remarks...Apparent attack on intelligence of factory and farm workers...Trump and Bloomberg’s Democratic rivals step up their attacks  "

Lets Get Real:

The left wing Guardian is covering for Bloomberg, the article does not mention the fact that Bloomberg was sued for alleged sexist comments in the work place, and it is reported that he told a female worker to have an abortion, the Mayor denied that he ever said that, if it has been Trump the uber liberal media would be ALL over the story.  One has to assume that the Maine Stream Media has worked out that to take out Trump they need a liberal Trump.  Thus the skate over problems that if it has been Trump that is all you would hear about.  The other candidates in the Democratic race are taking the fight to the former Mayor.  The question is can they beat the 45 billion that Bloomberg has in his WALLET.   Thus Nevada and  Super Tuesday will be VERY IMPORTANT. 

JFK's Women - The Myth and Reality of being a Kennedy - US History

Daily Mail: Reports " President John F Kennedy was with his mistress while Jackie was giving birth to their child says Carly Simon..."

Lets Get Real:

One does wonder how then Senator then President Kennedy found the time for his women, it was only of late that the WORLD learned that he had his own intern problem, very much like President Clinton.   JFK's affairs would not have come out if not for Watergate, after that his historical legacy took a battering, then the world learned that Kennedy did a deal with the USSR over the missiles in Cuba, he agreed to remove the missiles in Turkey six months after the then USSR removed their missiles, but made it clear, that if it came out the deal was over. Political considerations were most important than World peace.  Yet Kennedy was a great President, he did make a deal with the USSR over the missiles in Cuba, yes he sold out Turkey, but that needed to happen to avoid World War 3.  Greatness does not mean perfection, just makes leaders human.  Bill Clinton is no JFK or Reagan, the old dog is far to flawed an individual. 

Off Colour joke by then Governor Reagan to President Nixon, 1971 - 1970s Era

Sky News: Reports " Reagan made racist joke about Africans in 1971 call with Nixon, recordings reveal..Newly emerged phone calls reveal the-then governor of California thought African people were "uncomfortable wearing shoes".  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog is a firm supporter President Reagan, as one of the greatest Presidents in US history, he was no perfect, he made mistakes, he was human.  Let's recall that the first President of the US, George Washington had slaves, that Woodrow Wilson had big ideas for the World but was a racist when it came to African - Americans working for the Federal Government.  Then we have JFK's numerous affairs and his intern.  The above recording was made when the UN recognition China over Taiwan and gave them their Seat at the UN.  Then Governor Reagan was angry, sometimes when we are angry we make mistakes, this is an example from the above.   Also he did not know that Nixon was recording his calls and office meetings.  One can assume the LEFT will run with story, they are so PC, will they be that when the Martin Luther King Jr tapes are released, we shall see. 

Biden attacks POTUS - Election 2020

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 7.46pm post the following, " Biden: if Trump doesn't have a racist bone 'that means he has no bones'  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a good sound bite by the former VP, on the other hand Biden has to be careful, he was under attack of late for having a civil relationship with racist Senators in the 1970s, and let's not forget his touching of women ( in a non sexual or violent way ) throughout his political career.   The VP must have seen the latest poll from NH that showed his front runner status had declined to level begging with other candidates, thus the VP has to carry on with his attack on Trump but also start to attack his Democratic opposition, he could be looking at Trump while either Warren, Sanders or Harris walk all over him in the caucus and primary States.   It is July 2019, not July 2020, we have a long road to go, Senator Harris looks like the candidate that can beat Trump, also POTUS has not given her a nickname, could he be afraid of her.
