US to Iran tonight - Trump at NATO Summit, - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 6.00pm post the following, " Donald Trump warned the US is preparing to launch more strikes against Iran, after he said he considered the US-Iran truce to be “over”. " 

Let's Get Real:

This Trump playing games, will he carry through with his threat, this blog has its doubts, he has threatened Iranian civilization before and backtracked before the attacks.  The Trump Oval has to follow through, he has no Presidential Credibility on Iran, how many u - turns have we seen, more u turns than Sir Keir Starmer.  The American people support winners, appeasers and failures do not have good reviews, just ask Richard Nixon or LBJ.  Trump needs to win in Iran.

Jimmy Carter's coffin at the US Capital- Trump 47

Guardian: Reports in its 9.37pm post that President Carter's coffin has arrived at the US Capital.

Lets Get Real:

I wonder if the press will be so nice to Trump when his day comes, it comes to all humans.  IT was said that politicians came to Nixon's funeral to make sure he was DEAD, they still feared Nixon.  President Clinton stated that Nixon should be remembered for more that one thing, WATERGATE,  the same thing could be said about Clinton and his affair with an intern, that happened a few years after Nixon died.  At lest Americans can do ceremony.

Judge closes down Federal case againsr Trump47- Trump47

BBC New  Reports that a Federal Judge has  closed a federal case against Trump47.

Lets Get Real:

AS sitting or future President  cannot be triad is a result for Trump47, let's hope he has learned his lesson and keeps inside the law for his second term as POTUS, I would not bet the house on it, Trump loves to cross the Line,, and see what the Establishment does, at least he is not the worst POTUS in history, Nixon and LBJ are, he won a 2 term, thank God for the 22 Amendment that stops Presidents serving mote than 2 terms.

Big Win for Trump at the Supreme Court - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

BBC New: Reports " Trump has some immunity from prosecution, Supreme Court rules....The justices found that a president has immunity for "official acts", but is not immune for "unofficial acts", and referred the matter back to a trial judge. "

Lets Get Real:

This is a big win for Trump, the various Federal Cases will be affected, we wait to see what the Courts and Prosecutors so with the case, the general opinion is that the Court cases will start after the election, of course Trump as President could pull them if elected.   This Judgement by the Supreme Court does ask a few Questions of Presidential history, lets look at the examples, was JFK and the CIA'S attempt to kill Castro in the early 1960s was that official or Kennedy's need for revenge after the Bay of Pigs.  Then we move to 1968, was Nixon's sabotage of the Paris Peace Talks, semi official as he become President or private action that should have seen him Court.   Let's forget that LBJ bugged Nixon with the help of the FBI,  was the legal, its an open question, then we go to Nixon again in 1972 with Watergate, it can be presume that Nixon after the LBJ files on the Paris Peace Talks.  Thus would Nixon have had to resign in 1974.  The next case in Iran - Contra of the late1980s, it was Reagan's believe that the Contra freedom fighters had to be supported, after the Congress cut off official aid, he wanted the Contra fighters funded, no matter what it took, thus a diversion of funds to the Contra's.   As with JFK, there is doubt if Reagan knew this was happening, even if he did, it would not matter as it was official policy by Reagan to fight communism. In 1998 we have Bill Clinton, this was a private affair and thus the President would not have been immune from the Courts.   It seems the Court would have agreed with Nixon.   Interesting Court days ahead!!

Jury in Hunter Biden's drug and gun trial are deliberating - 2024 Candidates /2024 General Election

BBC News: Reports " Jury begins deliberating in historic Hunter Biden case....Jurors in the Hunter Biden gun case have begun deliberating, and must now decide the fate of the US president's son.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Hunter Biden as with the Donald Trump case would have not be bought if they had different surname, the verdict in both cases should have been NOT GUILTY, in this case the Jury is from Delaware, Biden's home state and Hunter is a local boy, so while New York went wrong away, this blog expects the Jury to bring back a NOT GUILTY verdict, anything else would be political, the gun was never used, and on one for sure knows if Hunter Biden was on drugs, his father has said he wont use his Presidential power to Pardon his son, the father of six children.  In the old days, men in smoke filled rooms would have solved their problems like gentleman, present problems are due to people wanting a pure democracy, it cant work like that.   When in 1968 President Johnson discovered that candidate Nixon was playing games with the Paris Peace talks, he kept that quiet, it would have caused a political crisis, he kept it over Nixon, thus the Watergate break - in of 1972, Nixon wanted to know how much LBJ had told the Democratic Party.   Today is what you get when you have the ideologues in charge.

Trump in COURT TOAY - 2024 Candidate/General Election 2024 - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Defiant Trump turns up at $250m New York fraud trial to blast 'scam'....... Former President Donald Trump has attacked a judge and prosecutor in a day of courtroom drama as he attended the opening of a fraud trial that could threaten his business empire.  "

Lets Get Real:

Of all the Courts that Trump faces, its this civil trial that gets to him, his image is his money and the success he has had in business.  The prospect of jail time does not seem to unnerve him much, that will never happen, the job of the Secret Service ,is to protect the President and the former President for up to 10 years.  The Secret Service could never allow Trump to be taken to a prison, that would make him a martyr on the right wing of the Republican Party, and the Democrats would pay a heavy price, there in no Gerald Ford in the White House who could  stop these Federal Trials with a stroke of his pen.  The 2024 match up looks like is it on, in less one of the Republican candidates can take Iowa or New Hampshire in 2024.  Trump would a disaster in a 2nd Term, in less US voters want to put two fingers up to the press and the liberal elite, it could happen.

Trumps THIRD COURT Appearance At 9pm UK Time - 2024 Candidate/2024 Presidential Election

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 10.45am post the following, " Donald Trump’s third appearance in a courtroom as a criminal defendant is expected at 4pm Eastern time.....Trump’s third appearance in a courtroom as a criminal defendant is expected at 4pm Eastern time (9pm BST).  "

Lets Get Real: 

The Donald will milk this for all its worth, the former President stated in a speech that that Government was coming after his voters and they would have to go through him.  The former President is still leading in the polls, what does it take for the Republicans to see the truth, the only thing that  concerns the Donald is the Donald.  The US Government is not helping, they have thrown everything bar the kitchen sink at the Donald, it does make it look like a  Witch Hunt out to destroy the Former President, that helps Trump with the Republican base, this blog has not time for Trump, he is a THREAT to US and Western security, but there are better ways to STOP TRUMP, ignoring him would have been better, he loves the attention, thus will milk today for all its worth.  Historic Day ahead,  Nixon must be looking down and smiling and thinking, Don't you miss Tricky Dicky NOW. 

Trump CHARGED over January 6th - 2024 Candidate/2024 General Election - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 10.16pm post the following, " Indictment issued in Trump 2020 election interference investigation but judge seals content....The federal grand jury hearing evidence in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election has handed up an indictment in the federal courthouse. "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Department of Justice  has lost the plot, all Trump's actions before January 6th and on January are covered by Presidential Immunity, or is the Biden DofJ saying that sitting President's can charged while in OFFICE, be very wary POTUS, don't set a precedent that could come after you.  Where are the grown up in the US political system, in 1974 the US had Gerald R. Ford as President, he gave a PARDON to Nixon for his actions during WATERGATE.  Thus the US could return to some kind of normal life after Watergate and Vietnam.  The US Special Counsel has lost the plot, all this will do is to make sure that the cases, All of them go to the US Supreme Court, how many did Trump appoint, Yes it was 3, let's hope they are the grown ups in the room.  Let's be clear this blog has no time for Trump and his change of the Republican Party in to a cult, he is dangerous but you do  not change the past precedent of dealing with US Presidents because you hate Trump, who NEXT Biden?

Donald Trump to be ARRESTED NEXT WEEK - 2024 Candidate/2024 General Election

BBC News: Reports " Prosecuting Donald Trump would be politically motivated, say Republicans "

Lets Get Real:

Are the Democrats trying to elect Donald Trump again to the Oval Office, the Prosecutor is a Democrat for goodness sake, the Democrats are really DUMB, this is what Trump wants, this is the first time a former US President will have been arrested, even Richard Nixon did not face that after his resignation in 1974 after the Watergate scandal.   The former President was pardoned by President Gerald Ford, then Oval Office President saw how much damage such a prosecution would bring to the Country.  It can be postulated that Ford lost a close election to Jimmy Carter in 1976 due to his decision, but looking back most historians agree it bought the Country together after Watergate, and thus the right decision, if Biden had an active brain  he would warn the US Prosecutor to back off, this will not be the case that makes his political bones or place pressure on the new New York Governor to pardon Trump before his arrest, Trump faces other more important charges, he has already put the martyr suit on, it would be the luck of the US if Trump while under charges gets himself re-elected President in 2024, a President is immune form prosecution while President, as President Trump could pardon himself, he has no shame.  

Special Counsel appointed to look at Classified Documents found in Biden residences - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " Special counsel appointed to investigate classified documents found in Biden's home and former office...The first batch of documents were reportedly found in a "locked closet" on 2 November at an office the president used from 2017 to 2019. Now, aides have discovered a second batch at his home in Delaware.  "

Lets Get Real:

It can be postulated that the US Attorney General Merrick Garland has played this in a fair manner, in many respects he had no choice, he appointed a Special Counsel for the former President  Donald Trump, also the Republicans in the House and the Senate would have hit the roof if he had tried to keep the issue within the DOJ.  The question that has to be asked, will POTUS now run for a 2nd term, in the view of the DOJ a sitting President can not be charged with any crime, thus what if it becomes serious and the faults lie with Biden, will the US House impeach him ?, YES, is the simple answer if they think they have a case, the Democrats in the House and the Senate should keep their powder dry, they might not want to jump on the Biden boat if it turns out to be the Titanic.  Interesting times ahead, if nothing else to see the CNN anchors getting their knickers in to twist is stating that the Biden and Trump case are not like, good luck with that, people hear the term Special Counsel and assume the worst. 

Classified Documents found in former Biden Office - 6 years Late - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " Classified documents found from Biden’s time as VP, White House cooperating with DOJ...The White House is working with the Justice Department as it reviews classified documents from when President Biden served as vice president that were found in a private office last fall.  "

Lets Get Real:

It was fun seeing CNN trying to justify President Biden having TOP SECRET documents in his possession from his years as VP to President  Obama.  This will be used by Republicans to hammer the Biden Oval and Biden Department of Justice, there are a lot of questions for the President Biden to answer, who moved the documents from their secure area, who had access, why did it take 6 years and how come the national archive did not ask for them, were they playing favourites.  One can postulate that most modern Presidents take secret documents with them, let's recall at the centre of the LBJ Library there is glass box, with a letter marked X on it and when it should be opened.  The information inside was how the FBI tracked the Nixon efforts to persuade the South Vietnam Government in 1968 not to go to the Paris Peace talks, that they would have a better deal under President Nixon than with LBJ.  The reverse happened in the fullest of time.  President Johnson knew he had the goods on Richard Nixon but did not want to cause a political crisis after Nixon had won Presidency, he made sure that Nixon knew he knew, and thus Nixon played ball with any requests from LBJ.  It can be postulated that the Watergate scandal has its origins in this matter. One can assume the Republicans will jump on this, the small print won't matter, either Trump and Biden are prosecuted or they are not, it cannot be one rule for the Democrats and another rule for the Republicans. 

The Democratic Charges against former President Trump - Democratic House - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports  " January 6 committee recommends criminal charges against Donald Trump...Former president Trump's behaviour during the January 6 US Capitol riots has been branded an "utter moral failure and a clear dereliction of duty" by an investigating committee, who say he is "unfit for any office".  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the worse thing the Democrats could have done, the new House Republicans majority will be looking for ways to rubbish the Committee, it had only had Republicans who hate Trump anyway, and its reports will be seen as Partisan by many US voters.  The Democratic House Committee it can be argued has done a good job of showing what President Trump did after the 2020 Election and on January 6th, by adding charges the outgoing Democratic House has lost the plot.  The House Committee is not the US Senate Committee of Senator Ervin that looked into WATERGATE that had Republicans, who's Republicans LOST after a through investigation.  The Biden Democratic Department of Justice, does not need referrals from the US House, in fact it causes problems, if the DOJ does bring charges it will be open to charges that it was forced on it by the Democrats and the Court cases could take years, and God forbid Trump could be President again.  The Democrats have shot themselves in the foot, a bad day for DEMOCRACY, at the end of it all POTUS might have to PARDON Trump as President Ford did for Nixon, that is the way of political reality, in less he wants Court Cases going on through 2024.  

Will Trump be CHARGED over Classified Files at his Florida Home ? - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " National Archives says at least 700 pages of classified materials seized from Trump’s home "

Lets Get Real:

Why would former President Trump need to keep 700 pages of secret materials, and that is just the documents that was taken away from the Trump home in January, the President would have known that he could have looked at them at any time, in a secure manner, the security of the the Trump Home would hardly be up to the standard of what the Government does to keep documents secret, what if foreign intelligence bodies had found this out and tried to get copies, the fact that Trump had them is not the problem, its the bulk.  It should be noted that in 1969 when LBJ left office he took information that showed that the Nixon Campaign had placed pressure on the Saigon Government in South Vietnam not to go to the Paris Peace Talks.  LBJ could have blown up the 68 campaign with this hacked information, but he kept it quiet and stated that the information would be held in his Library, in a envelope to be opened decades later.  It has been postulated that the WATERGATE break in was Nixon looking to see what the Democrats had on the 68 campaign, why otherwise break in, the Richard Nixon won the 72 election in a landslide, he did not need to break in to the Watergate.  The Saigon connection makes sense of the break in.  The point being that Presidents do take secret information with them, well LBJ and Trump did, so let's not get pious about it, its the volume that is the problem.  One has to say that Trump should face charges, but the Biden Administration should not do that, it should be the grown up, CNN and the liberal media want that, it would be disaster, it would make Trump a martyr to the course, the information from Jan 6 is bad enough to stop from running, let's not give Trump a OUT, the Democrats would never be forgiven. 

One of Trump's Houses raided by the FBI - Mid Terms - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Former US President Donald Trump has said his Florida home was raided by the FBI, and that agents broke open a safe......Monday's search was reportedly connected to an investigation into Mr Trump's handling of official papers.  "

Lets Get Real:

This was very thin ground for the FBI to raid the home of a former President, they did not do that to NIXON even after Watergate.  As President, Donald Trump could do what he liked with the documents, he could have handed them to the Russians and it would not have been illegal.  The President decides what happens to security documents while he is President, after he left office, that could be more tricky for Trump, he could argue that he had packed in a hurry, or someone else had packed them without telling him, anyway you look at this, this case will go to the US Supreme Court, and the Biden Administration better have a good case, also what happens if the Republicans take the House next year, the Democrats might regret doing this, the Republicans could go after Hunter Biden HARD, some boxes should never be opened, you never know what might be in this Pandora Box.

Big Win for Biden on the HILL - Climate Change - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " The US Senate has approved a bill that includes $369bn (£305bn) for climate action - the largest investment in America's history.....Democrats negotiated among themselves for months to ensure the package - which totals more than $700bn - received the support of every one of the party's 50 senators  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a big win for the Biden Oval, but its not the great win that the Left wing Democrats wanted, they wanted to spend 6 trillion on EVERY Democratic wish, the Democrats could not get two of their own to support that, thus this is a limited bill.  This blog was a bit iffy about CLIMATE CHANGE, but the hot weather of the past few years has convinced this blog that the West and the World needs to DO SOMETHING to prevent the weather getting ANY HOTTER, the new Act will get people to go for electric cars and other policy favourites of the Democrats.  Of course the question is NOW, who will tell the Chief not to run for a 2nd term, a 2nd terms for modern Presidents has been rough, that goes for Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama, it could be advised that Biden gets out while he is winner, and not defeated for a 2nd term.  Who will be the man/women to tell Biden its over after a one term. 

POTUS to SPEAK to Putin TODAY - Biden Era

CNN: Reports that " Biden and Putin to speak on Saturday as tension builds over Russian threat to Ukraine "

Lets Get Real:

This could be the LAST TIME that POTUS can stall Putin from invading the Ukraine, if reports are true the invasion could come on Tuesday or Wednesday.  President Biden has to find his inner Ronald Reagan or JFK if he wishes and makes Russia understand, that the Russian people will suffer economic sanctions that have never been placed before with the exception of North Korea and Iran.  That the Putin Regime is opening Pandora's Box if it invades the Ukraine.  The West will support any insurgency and the Ukraine would be the new Afghanistan for the Putin Regime.  POTUS cannot agreed to another Munich agreement, as Chamberlain did in 1938 or JFK selling out the Turks in 1962 to end the Cuban Missile Crisis.   That deal was secret, that would not happen NOW and if Biden tried it, his Presidency would be finished faster than the Nixon days after Watergate. This could be the most import call of Biden's political life.

Don't call be the second Richard Nixon - Trump - Biden Era

CNN: Reports " Trump explodes at Nixon comparisons as he prepares to leave office "

Lets Get Real:

It can be fair to say that President Trump is the WORST President in US history, he has been impeached twice, and on the 2nd one he did that to himself.  The speech outside the White House roused the rioters to attack the Capitol.  It is expected that Trump will use his PARDON power for his friends and himself, on the pardon to himself, that might sound crazy but he should not expect that Biden will be giving him a PARDON, thus if he removes the problem by doing it himself, the Washington D.C will give the impression that they are annoyed but might be just as happy for the issue to go away.  As for the comparison with Nixon, Tricky Dicky won two elections, and resigned before he was impeached.   Also the Nixon years had success on the domestic front and on the World State, that is more than be said of Trump.  On foreign policy Trump has been a disaster, he makes Jimmy Carter look good and he never be another Reagan.  Thus we start with the Biden Era. 

Trump to be Impeached TWICE ? - Biden Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Trump set to become first president in history to be impeached TWICE as Democrats reveal single article of 'incitement of insurrection' that will be voted on as early as Monday if he refuses to resign "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS will not resign if he does not want too, but a argument can be made that if he is forced with Impeachment and the Republicans in the Senate going along with it, then he could be forced out and banned from running in 2024.  Trump could take the Nixon option, resign, but before doing that, granting himself and his family a FULL PARDON, in way that would benefit Biden, he does need Trump  clogging up his agenda, one doubts that Biden would allow Trump to face arrest and prison time, once you start that, it sets a precedent, and no POTUS wants that, him or her could be NEXT.  CNNN is loving this, but giving that Trump has given them sword one can not really complain.  Even Nixon knew at the end that he had destroyed himself, Nixon was self aware, that is why he wanted Trump to run for the Oval, one assumes that Tricky Dicky knew that Trump would be a disaster, and his poll ranking would go up a bit, Nixon was no Trump, he did win twice, in 1968 and 1972.

POTUS on being Impeached - Election 2020

The White House: States: "Today marks the culmination in the House of one of the most shameful political episodes in the history of our Nation.  Without receiving a single Republican vote, and without providing any proof of wrongdoing, Democrats pushed illegitimate articles of impeachment against the President through the House of Representatives.  Democrats have chosen to proceed on this partisan basis in spite of the fact that the President did absolutely nothing wrong.  Indeed, weeks of hearings have proved that he did nothing wrong.

Throughout the House Democrats’ entire sham impeachment, the President was denied fundamental fairness and due process under the law.  The House blatantly ignored precedent and conducted the inquiry in secrecy behind closed doors so that Chairman Adam Schiff and his partisan political cronies could selectively leak information to their partners in the media to push a false narrative.

When public hearings were held before Chairman Schiff’s committee, Democrats continued their games and denied the President the ability to cross-examine witnesses or present witnesses or evidence.  The proceedings in the Judiciary Committee included no fact witnesses at all and consisted solely of a biased law seminar and a staffer rehashing the slanted report that was produced by Chairman Schiff’s rigged proceeding.  This unconstitutional travesty resulted in two baseless articles of impeachment that lack any support in evidence and fail even to describe any impeachable offense.

All of these antics make clear that Democrats have lost sight of what this country needs, which is a Congress that works for the people.  Their boundless animus for President Trump fuels their desire to nullify the 2016 election results, and improperly influence the 2020 election.

The American people are not fooled by this disgraceful behavior.  They understand fairness, due process, and substantial, reliable evidence are required before any American should be charged with wrongdoing—and certainly before impeaching a duly elected President.

The President is confident the Senate will restore regular order, fairness, and due process, all of which were ignored in the House proceedings.  He is prepared for the next steps and confident that he will be fully exonerated.  President Trump will continue to work tirelessly to address the needs and priorities of the American people, as he has since the day he took office. "

Lets Get Real:

One gets the impression that POTUS will take his revenge on the Democrats for this foolish overreaction by them when it comes to the Ukraine, he might VETO every Bill they want, make them understand as President he make their lives difficult.  Who can blame him, at least Nixon and Clinton deserved to be impeached, the Democrats have been looking to take revenge on Trump for beating HRC in 2016, it will be OPEN WARFARE now in Washington, Trump likes to COUNTER PUNCH, there are a lot more rounds to go before this story ends. 

The Impeachment of Donald Trump - Election 2020

The Democrats have learned nothing from the failure of Labour to win the 2019 General Election.  The impeachment process could lead to Trump getting a 2nd term.  Democrats are fools.

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.16am post the following, " Crowds in Michigan boo when US President @realDonaldTrump references the #impeachment vote at a campaign rally. "

Lets Get Real:

By the time impeachment process is finished one can postulate that Trump will use the impeachment as positive, while Democrats will be running away from the process. This is what happens when a political party allows the extremes to take charge, Speaker Pelosi could not say NO this group in fear that she would lose their support to remain Speaker, thus the impeachment is a short term answer to a bigger problem, the Democrats hate POTUS, what will they do next when he does something really wrong, they can hardly impeach him a 2nd time, the Republican Base will not support POTUS even more, a silly process with a silly end result.
