UK on Iran Crisis - Iran Crisis Update 2 - End of the May Era

Sky News: Reports " Downing Street 'extremely concerned' about Iran nuclear breach..As it is revealed that Iran has stockpiled more enriched uranium than is allowed, the UK urges it to "reverse this step".  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK if it comes to battle will have to support the US, agreement between the US and Iran can not be put back together again, the hawks in the White House want a battle, one gets the impression that hawks in Tehran also want a battle, if nothing else to make sure their regime is safe.  Thus far the White House has been quiet, how much of a DOVE can Trump be before even the HIS base of the Republican Party start to question their leader.  Also it allows the Democrats to be the hawks on national security, YES the Democrats.  One expects some comment or reaction from the White House, thus far NOTHING, one wonders if POTUS is trying to hide from the story, sooner or later Iran must be dealt with.

Iran Update - Iran Crisis - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Iran nuclear deal: Enriched uranium limit breached, IAEA confirms "

Lets Get Real:

While the World watches the demonstrations in Hong Kong, the real important story is this latest development from Iran.  One would bet's one mortgage on the fact that Israel is on the phone to the US, demanding that it should do something, or they will.  One only has to recall the history of the area, when Iraq was on its way to a nuclear facility in 1981 Israel struck, then in 2007 when Syria was the same path, Israel repeated its strike.  The World knows that Israel has the bomb, it's the ultimate defence shield, but it can only be used once, and Israel likes to take traditional methods such as air strikes when it feels under threat.  One almost gets the impression that Tehran is booking the America Eagle, it has to be careful that the US does not do its own strike, the Trump Oval has to show that is strong somewhere and it could be Iran. 

President Carter on POTUS - Election 2020

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.21pm post the following, " Former president Jimmy Carter says Trump is an "illegitimate president"  "

Lets Get Real:

Are the Democrats trying to get Trump re-elected in 2020, they want to give medical cover to illegal migrants, they want to abolish private health care, and now there is one of the WORST Presidents in US history, Jimmy Carter attacking POTUS.   One only has to recall the 1977 - 81 period and a shiver goes down one's spine, Carter without question is one of the worse Oval Office holders ever, the economy was in the tank, unemployment was high, then we come to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the US hostages held in Iran for 444 days.  When Reagan was sworn in as President, the sun came out, the hostages were returned, and Reagan bought tax cuts, cuts in welfare, increase defence spending, at the end  of his two terms, US inflation was down, unemployment was low, the Cold War was over, as Lady Thatcher said Reagan had won the Cold War without firing a shot.   The USSR started to leave Afghanistan, the Berlin Wall came down, Eastern Europe was free of communism, in 1991 the USSR dissolved  President Carter should really be quiet, he is not helping the Democrats. 

Harris BACKTRACKS over abolishing Private Health Cover AGAIN - Election 2020

Daily Mail: Reports " Kamala Harris backtracks AGAIN and insists she doesn't favor eliminating all private health insurance despite raising her hand in debate to agree she wanted to 'abolish' it  "

Lets Get Real:

This is called a political clean up, Senator Harris has become a potential Democratic nominee, thus she and her campaign should expect her role as a prosecutor to come under firm scrutiny also what she says in debates.   By lifting her HAND to support getting rid of private health cover she has given the Republicans an issue to clobber the Democrats with, they will ALL be asked if they want to throw millions of Americans off their private medical cover, this issue could cost them the election, one only has to recall that President Obama stated if you liked your Doctor you could keep him/her, that turned out not to be true with ObamaCare.  VP Biden also raised his hand, does that mean that a President Biden, will throw millions of American off their cover, time for damage limitation by the Biden Camp.  POTUS is having fun at the cost of the Democrats. 

Is Kamala Harris the next President of the United States ? - Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " Kamala Harris stole the show: How far can she go in the race?..The former attorney general of California captured the public imagination and dominated Google following the Democratic debate.  "

Lets Get Real:

Before we start getting used to saying President Harris ( easier that Mayor Pete' surname ) there is a LONG PROCESS to go, one good debate does not make it a White House win.  It was interesting in a CNN panel of voters from Iowa, the lone supporter of Biden was an African - American voter, and Biden has a massive lead with African - American voters, they know what they are getting with Biden, Senator Harris will have to claw them to her side, this means having a good performance in Iowa and NH in 2020.  Senator Harris has to show that she can win the white vote in States that are not California, thus if she can do this then African - American voters can see that she is safe pair of hands and can win a general election against Trump.  The one negative she has to face it the fact that she supported getting rid private insurance of a majority of Americans and giving medical cover to illegal migrant, she has to roll that back or she will not win, or the House could go back to Republicans and the Senate would remain a solid Republican chamber, thus blocking her Agenda if she gets to the White House.  It June 2019, not June 2020!

The Day VP Joe Biden LOST the Democratic Nomination ? - Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " Democratic White House front-runner Joe Biden came under fierce attack for his record on race in a televised debate with nine rivals on Thursday.  "

Lets Get Real:

TV political commentators on CNN gave the debate to Senator Harris, it was the right call.   The Senator who was a prosecutor in a previous career eat Joe Biden's lunch.  It was moving to hear her story about being the second class of her school to be bussed to a majority white school.  The fact that Joe Biden argued against bussing in the 1970s did not help, his reaction was BAD, he stated that he did not have a problem with bussing itself, but that it should be State issue, not a Federal Government issue.  If you repeated that statement without telling someone who the source was you would think it was George Wallace from the 1960s.  Senator Harris stated she did not think Biden was a racist, in other words she was calling him a racist.   It can be postulated that if Biden become the nominee he will not be asking Harris to be his VP.   Of  course that assumes that Biden will be the nominee, how can African - Americans support a candidate who affirms State rights over Federal rights, if you follow that logic, the old South would still be around, and so would their racist views.  At the end of the test back and too with Harris, Biden stated " My time is UP, " one can see the political adverts already.   Also the Democrats in the debate stated that they would give health cover to illegal migrants, Harris stated she would support getting rid of private health cover, that COST her the nomination and the election. 

It was interesting to see how individual voters in Iowa thought about the 2nd debate, they gave the debate to Harris and Mayor Pete, but overall they had not decide who they were going to vote for.   This good people of Iowa and NH expect their candidates in their living room when it very cold outside, to discuss the issues.  This is a LONG RACE, there will be other DEBATES, if the nominee is Warren, then Trump can sleep his way to a 2nd term, she is to FAR LEFT, Biden is their only hope. 

Labour's antisemitism problem - Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party

Sky News: Reports " 90 Labour MPs and peers condemn Williamson 'antisemitism' decision...Scores of senior Labour Party figures sign a letter calling on leader Jeremy Corbyn to intervene in the antisemitism case.  "

The above is why Jeremy Corbyn is unfit to be the next British PM, when you allow the perception that a political party is anti Jewish it allows those who are actually racists to come out of the shadows.   It has been noted that Labour MP and former Labour MPs have come under attack because they are of the Jewish faith, a political party has to be ruthless with these people and throw them out of the Party.   This blog does not know what is in the heart of Chris Williamson, only the MP is knows that, thus does not have a view on the issue of Mr Williamson and if he the whip should be removed from him.   The problem with the left is that they are anti Israel and its policy towards the Palestinian people, thus are highly critical of Israel.  The scourge of antisemitism has to be driven out of mainstream politics.   The Labour Party should learn what happened in Weimar Germany when Hitler was not stopped, political chaos builds rebellion, and the failure to get Brexit through could cause great political damage.
