The Liberal Media smell blood - The Russian Probe - Trump Era

The New York Times: Has the following message for the US Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein when it comes to the firing of the FBI Director, James Comey and the Russian Trump connection, the NYT wants a Special Prosecutor " Few public servants have found themselves with a choice as weighty as yours, between following their conscience and obeying a leader trying to evade scrutiny — Elliot Richardson and William Ruckelshaus, who behaved nobly in Watergate, come to mind. You can add your name to this short, heroic list. Yes, it might cost you your job. But it would save your honor, and so much more besides. "

Lets Get Real:

In this case the uber liberal NYT is right, the firing of FBI Director Comey shows that Trump has something to hide, what is the Russian connection between Trump and Moscow.  What are in the tax returns of Trump when it comes to Russia.  Did the Trump Campaign in someway have a connection with Russia, and can it be proven.   The great if is, what if there was no connection, and ALL this media anger is made up as they can not stand the thought of Trump in the Oval Office.  Those in the Trump Justice Department and FBI have to careful that they do not fall for the noise and find nothing there, this would drive the left insane.   And give Trump a free hand to fire anyone!!!

The HEAVY COSTS of the Labour Manifesto - Campaign Trail 35 - GE2017

Daily Mail: Reports " Corbyn's far-left manifesto that will cost EVERY household £2,400: Labour's plan to take the UK back to the 1940s with £10bn for free tuition, £60bn on pensions and £250bn on infrastructure  "

Lets Get Real:

The Labour Manifesto would be a  DISASTER for the UK, it would return the UK back to the 1970s, the UK would again become the ill man of Europe.  There would be tax hikes, if you think you wont get any tax hikes, think again, the RICH would have flown away, thus YOU will be left with the bill.   The Labour Party would give the Unions the power to have strikes and control entire Industrial sectors.  The UK would become the laughing stock of of the World.  Even the US would laugh at us, we would have are own Donald Trump but worse. The Russians would be laughing with glee, a Corbyn Administration would be a threat to NATO.  It is important YOU vote on June 8th, otherwise you could have PM Corbyn. 

The Labour Manifesto under Jeremy Corbyn - Campaign Trail 34 - GE2017

BBC News: Reports " The draft document is seen by some senior Labour figures as the most left-wing manifesto since the party was led by Michael Foot in 1983. "

Lets Get Real:

The leaked Labour Manifesto could be the the 2nd longest political suicide note in history. The first and the most infamous was the 1983 Manifesto, that saw the Party beaten by Lady Thatcher.   The left wing fingerprints are ALL over this note, the Unions would have the return of the powers pre Thatcher Era, the tax payer would pay more, no matter what LABOUR says, a Corbyn Administration would take over privatised business, that would cost billions.   Jeremy Corbyn has stated that he would never press the nuclear button, thus the UK would have no nuclear defence.   If the Country buys this BS, this blogger will move Country, anywhere but the shame of being British under a Corbyn Administration.  The end of the Labour Party can be seen from this leaked manifesto. 

Conservatives lead by 17% - New Poll - Campaign Trail 33 - GE2017

UK Polling Report: Reports on a new poll, " Panelbase GB poll. Topline figures there are CON 48%(+1), LAB 31%(+1), LDEM 8%(-2), UKIP 5%(nc), GRN 2%(nc) "

Lets Get Real:

This is a good poll, a 17% lead, but it is down from a poll that had the Conservatives on 22%.  The Conservative Party must act as if it is ten points behind, it has to fight for every vote.   The left wing media, the BBC and Guardian, will soft peddle Labour aims when it comes to defence and immigration.   They always skip the fact that Corbyn has stated that he would never press the nuclear button and believes that there should be no control on immigration.   The Conservatives can not take the election for granted, they must knock on doors and get people out, people during these sunny months do not like to think about politics, they have to wake up to the fact that Corby could win the election.  The Conservatives need EVERY vote. 

Clinton fired his FBI Director - Update 4 - Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " Nearly a quarter-century ago, President Bill Clinton fired FBI Director William Sessions. It was July 19, 1993, and Clinton was the first President to sack an official from that post. "

Lets Get Real:

As I recall watching CNN and Fox News last night, no one mentioned the fact that Bill Clinton was the first President to fire a FBI Director, wonder why none of the commentators on CNN mentioned the fact, could it be that the LIBERAL PRESS thought it did not matter, or had they just forgotten.   The LIBERAL media will go bonkers, they have started to call it another Watergate, and demand a special investigation, in this CASE they would be right, get the investigation out of politics, that means that a special prosecutor who is not seen as having a political bias, that will not be easy in D.C.  In wonder how many commentators will mention the Clinton sacking tonight, they would not want to be accused of media bias would they, it would confirm the low level estimation that the liberal media is held by the US voter. 

Is Trump another Nixon ? - Update 3 - Trump Era

Washington Post: Reports " Trump’s firing of FBI chief James B. Comey “is a very Nixonian move,” said John Dean, the White House counsel under Nixon. “This could have been a quiet resignation, but instead it was an angry dismissal.” "

Lets Get Real:

As the article notes even President Nixon was to scared to sack the first Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, in the Hoover period the Presidents knew he had the dirt on them and would release it if he become under threat.   It can be argued that is why President Kennedy did not sack Hoover, the Director had dirt on both the President and his father.  There is something to be said for a President being afraid of his FBI Director, of course if you place your brother as Attorney General as JFK did it is a controlled threat.   This blog has argued in other posts that since Comey has made plenty enemies with the Democratic ranks it would have been easier to keep him on, but when he asked for more money and staff to investigate the Trump Campaign of 2016 he become a THREAT, and thus the very public sacking.  One hopes the Republicans will be brave to support an independent investigation, if Trump is forced to resign then the Republicans get a real Conservative in the shape of VP Pence, not a bad result out of this mess. 

Trump on Comey - Update 2 - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " Trump defends Comey firing, says ousted FBI director 'wasn't doing a good job' "

Lets Get Real:

IF EX - Director Comey was doing a BAD JOB, why not fire him at the start of the Administration, why wait, a broken back Director has his uses, he can take the political fire for the President.   The reason to fire him comes up after he has asked for money and staff to investigate the Russian connection to the Trump Campaign of 2016.   Thus the White House stated that Comey was fired due to his actions when it comes to Hillary Clinton and her emails.  This was during the Obama Presidency, surely if he had broken the rules the Obama Oval would have fired him, of course it can be argued that President Obama could not fire Comey as he was looking to how HRC used her private server and the classified nature of those emails.   Thus the Democrats are now coming out in defence of Comey, while asking for a special prosecutor, in this case they are right.
