The EU and the UK - E Day - Post EU

Daily Mail: Reports " Outrage as Juncker boasts that no-one else will want to leave the EU after they see how badly the UK is punished for Brexit "

Lets Get Real:

IF this is the policy path that the EU is taking the UK should just walk out NOW, the EU thinks we are going give them 50 billion for leaving the EU, they are out of their minds.   The UK will not be blackmailed, the EU has to learn its not the only club in town, there are more Countries outside the EU than in the EU.   The Euro is killing off the EU, it is sinking inch by inc, one can see in the future that more EU countries will leave, when a club becomes rotten at its core its time to leave.   After the UK leaves the EU will be a front for Germany, they have the money, they are keeping Greece going so far, but at some point even the German tax payer will have enough of helping the poorer Countries of the EU.

Article 50 - E Day - Post EU

BBC News: Reports " Article 50: Theresa May to trigger Brexit process next week "

Lets Get Real:

The triggering of Article 50 for leaving the EU will be the most important period for the UK since the end of the Cold War and the end of the Empire.   The move will be a test for the UK, can it cut it outside the EU after decades of allowing the EU to decide trade policy, it will not be tied to the EU, thus can develop a trade policy that HELPS the whole of the UK, not just LONDON.  The PM should have a free hand, the Labour Party has no effective leader, the Liberal Democrats have still not gotten over the FACT that the UK is leaving the EU.  The SNP will just go about a second INDY vote, that they are not going to get in till 2021 at the earliest, thus time for the No 10 to get a good deal out of EU.

Trump and ObamaCare - Part 2 - Trump Era

The New York Times: Reports " States Could Make Work a Medicaid Requirement Under G.O.P. Deal "

Lets Get Real:

The White House is making the replacement for ObamaCare more friendly to hard Conservatives, this is the first major fight of the Trump Administration, the entire domestic agenda hangs on the House and the Senate passing a new health care Act.   The Democrats will just oppose any attempt to get rid of ObamaCare, it's the only notable achievement of the Obama domestic record.  The next Obama policy that should be removed is the nuclear deal with Iran, this blog would bet on the fact that Tehran is cheating, one could see Tehran making a deal with North Korea for them to test the nuclear side of things, while Tehran gives them missile technology.  That what comes when you lose elections, and President Obama knew that when making campaign trips for Hillary Clinton, his record was on the line, and the Democrats lost, thus move to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

Trump and ObamaCare - Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " Republican leaders plan a vote Thursday to repeal and replace much of Obamacare, optimistic that President Donald Trump can help them close the deal, multiple House Republican sources tell CNN. "

Lets Get Real:

This is a priority for President Trump, if he can axe ObamaCare and replace it then he will have a good chance with the rest of his Conservative agenda, but there is always the chance that hard Conservatives could block the the move, this would put the entire Trump Agenda at risk, the President wants tax cuts, the increase the spending on the military, get better trade deals, the Oval has no better chance than now, next year will be the Mid Term Elections, the House and Senate members will be more worried about getting elected that helping their President.   The Oval Office has to win this, otherwise it could be a failed Presidency. 

The WAR in SYRIA - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " US admits Syria airstrike that killed 46 but denies targeting mosque "

Lets Get Real:

The Air war in Syria has become a free fire zone, you have the Syrian Air force, Russian Air force, the US Air force, Turkey Air Force, also Israel.  The War in Syria and the upgrade of US action has not been reported that much by the Western press, while White House press is obessed as to if President Trump was wiretapped by either the Obama Administration or by the UK.   The press should be watching the latest developments in the Middle East, the problem is that the American viewer does not want to hear about the Middle Easter after Iraq and the failure of the Obama Administration to keep troops in IRAQ after 2011, this failure lead to the rise of Daesh, thus the present fighting in Mosul by Iraqi and US forces to drive Daesh out, also Syria has seen an increase in US troop presence as they will be needed to take out the Daesh Capital in Syria. 

The US and North Korea - The North Korean Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Rex Tillerson on North Korea: Military action 'an option' "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Administration is showing its teeth to North Korea, the US has sent an aircraft Carrier to the region and now the new US Secretary of State has stated that nothing is off the table.   This should be a warning to China, the Government of China should place pressure on North Korea to back off, in these tense times it only takes a wrong order or movement to cause a WAR.  As a back channel the US should have secret talks with North Korea to see if there is a way out for both Nations, otherwise one day a major WAR could start in the region.

HM Queen signs Article 50 in to Law - Post EU

Guardian: Reports " Royal assent for article 50 bill gives PM power to start Brexit talks..Announcement in Commons that Queen has signed bill into law greeted by cheers from Conservative backbenchers "

Lets Get Real:

Who would have thought we would have see the day when the UK started the long walk out of the EU, it was seen that the UK was forever tied to the EU, but the UK voter looked at the results of the EU membership and decided it was not good.   There are still some in the Conservative Party, Labour Party and the whole of the Liberal Democrats would rather join up to the Euro, and be lead by the EU.    They know now hot it feels to be the political wilderness, some have made careers on supporting the EU, and what for, NOTHING at the end of the day.   Reality has arrived with the UK voter.  God Save the Queen.
