Bolton OUT as NSA, Was he sacked or did he resign? - Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has announced he fired his hawkish National Security Adviser John Bolton, adding that he disagreed "strongly" with him.  "

Lets Get Real:

There is a question as to if Bolton was sacked or he resigned, the Trump Oval states he was fired, while Bolton has told the press he was sacked.   This must be the time that the VP and the US Cabinet consider the 25th Amendment, the removal of the POTUS, he is not fit to be President, he will be on his fourth National Security Adviser when he announces his new pick.  The Republican Party has to consider its future, not just 2020, Trump looks like a major LOSER in 2020, there must be a  respected and well know Republican who wants to challenge him, how about Senator Mitt Romney, it is worth a try, something must be done to protect the US from Trump.  From over the pond it seems that Trump is a major appeaser, from the Taliban to North Korea, what would Ronald Reagan say about the present Republican Party, he would not be happy it can be postulated, Trump is the new Neville Chamberlain. 

Is Biden really the Front Runner for 2020 - Election 2020

CNN - Politics: Reports " Biden remains dominant over Dems nationwide, but early state poll shows stiff competition"

Lets Get Real:

Although political geeks like this blog and those that have an interest in politics would come to view that Biden was going to be the nominee from the national Democratic polls taken so fart, that would be BIG MISTAKE.   Let's recall that HRC was sure fire winner in 2008, the Crown was for her to lose, and she did lose it to Barack Obama, in 2016 Senator Sanders gave HRC a run for her money and still lost to POTUS.  The good people of Iowa and New Hampshire do not like to be taken for granted, they expect the candidate to come to their homes, to talk policy with them and their neighbours, it is general said there are two to three tickets out of Iowa, so let's speculate that those three are Biden, Warren and Sanders, the big test will be New Hampshire, can the candidate who takes IOWA also take NEW HAMPSHIRE, if a candidate manages to that they are heading for the nomination.   It nearly 5 months before IOWA, a week is a long time in politics, months are years.

The Afghanistan War and the 2020 Presidential Election - Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " Afghanistan: Temporary end to talks as US and Taliban don't want to fight forever...Taliban leaders may be claiming to be ready to wage war for 100 years - but their country is tired of the death and economic cost.  "

Lets Get Real:

One of the very first posts this blogged ever posted was its opposition in to going in to Afghanistan, the UK has the bloody t-shirt from previous operations in Afghanistan during the time of the British Empire, and thus we spent 13 years there at the cost of many lives and treasure, we left the US still there, and here is the change from this blog, the US has to stay, this can not be another Vietnam, with pictures of the people trying to get in to the last chopper out of Saigon.   The Trump Oval has to stand firm, take the fight to the Taliban and other terrorist units in country, the Taliban have to be pushed back, the US has to power to down mountains, it should be used, the Mother of bombs ( non nuclear ) SHOULD be used.  The poor people of Afghanistan can not be left to the terror of the Taliban.   Afghanistan can not be lost, or we could face another 9/11 at some future date. 

Bias Speaker OUT - Brexit Update 1 - General Election in November 2019

BBC News: Reports " John Bercow says he will stand down as Commons Speaker and MP at the next election or on 31 October, whichever comes first.  "

Lets Get Real:

Speaker Bercow has been a disgrace to the OFFICE of Speaker, he has tried to turn the House of Commons the US House and him Nancy Pelosi, there is a old saying, if you do not have something good to say about someone, say nothing.   In this case we have the exception, Bercow has shown his bias time over time, he has his pet MPs bring up motions that any other Speaker would dismiss.  Bercow is such a Euro Federalist that this blog is asking the next House of Commons to open an investigation in to the role of Bercow, who did he speak to on the Opposition, has he spoken to EU, and as a cost his pension could be taken away.   Also he should not be given a peerage, he has been a  total disgrace, good riddance to rubbish. 

Does former President Obama want to see Biden as the nominee? - Election 2020

Fox News: Reports " Axelrod claims Biden 'serially distorting' record, 'in danger of creating more damaging' trend with gaffes "

Lets Get Real:

One does wonder if a former top adviser to President Obama, would write this if not having been given approval by the former POTUS.  This blog has noticed that on CNN David Axelrod has been more critical of the former VP than other guests, sometimes he is the only one who can bring a CNN panel back to earth with the political reality.   It did come as surprise to this blog that President Obama did not want Biden to run in 2016, he thought that HRC had a better chance of winning the White House, its shows that the political skill of Obama is pretty much about himself, at least the Great Reagan helped get his VP elected in 1988.   Does Obama want a different candidate to Biden, a younger, ethnic candidate, and that does not include Senator Warren.  How many gaffes can Biden get away with before his numbers being to fall. 

Should our Boris BREAK THE LAW? - Brexit Update 3 - November General Election

Daily Mail: Reports " Delay be damned: Boris Johnson says he will refuse to postpone Brexit even if he's LEGALLY required - forcing him to resign or MPs to kick him out - as Jeremy Corbyn prepares to block election on Monday  "

Lets Get Real:

This would be a DARING move by PM Boris, either the House of Commons gives him an election or he will simply do a HARD NO BREXIT on 31st October, and then have a election, of course the House of Commons Rumb Members could take it to the COURTS, even the Courts will not want to get stuck in this swamp, or Boris could advice the Queen not to give Royal Assent to the NO DEAL BREXIT ACT, that would really be a game changer, it would force the rebel Conservatives to go against the Queen, there are limits even for THIS  RUMP Parliament. 

A November Brexit Election - Brexit Update 2 - November Election?

Sky News: Reports " Opposition party leaders have agreed to once again block Boris Johnson's demand for a snap general election, meaning the UK is unlikely to head to the polls before November.  "

Lets Get Real:

As stated by this blog, the PM should make the next 8 weeks about how the Labour Party is unfit for Government, he should go on every show their is, from TV Breakfast shows to Newsnight, on the condition that it takes place in 10 Downing Street with a big picture of CHICKEN CORBYN behind him.   The Opposition can cry in their appeasers tea!  As for the demand by Parliament that that the PM ask the EU for an extension, he should send the most junior member of the Government to the EU, with the new ACT and leave it, make the Opposition send out a delegation if they want, make them carry the humiliation of the deal.   Then if they want an election in November, the PM should not be that quick to agree, what about in the New Year, make the Opposition own the delay.
