JFK's Women - The Myth and Reality of being a Kennedy - US History

Daily Mail: Reports " President John F Kennedy was with his mistress while Jackie was giving birth to their child says Carly Simon..."

Lets Get Real:

One does wonder how then Senator then President Kennedy found the time for his women, it was only of late that the WORLD learned that he had his own intern problem, very much like President Clinton.   JFK's affairs would not have come out if not for Watergate, after that his historical legacy took a battering, then the world learned that Kennedy did a deal with the USSR over the missiles in Cuba, he agreed to remove the missiles in Turkey six months after the then USSR removed their missiles, but made it clear, that if it came out the deal was over. Political considerations were most important than World peace.  Yet Kennedy was a great President, he did make a deal with the USSR over the missiles in Cuba, yes he sold out Turkey, but that needed to happen to avoid World War 3.  Greatness does not mean perfection, just makes leaders human.  Bill Clinton is no JFK or Reagan, the old dog is far to flawed an individual. 

Three Month Extension for Brexit - Brexit Update 2 - General Election 2019

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 8.26pm post, " NEW: Multiple Brussels diplomats telling me they expect EU to follow Benn Act and give (a prob flexible) extension until January 31st. *Crucially* am told that, if there is unanimous backing, this could be done in writing - rather than going through full council.@SkyNews  "

Lets Get Real:

This PM Boris gets a short extension and in that time can call a general election, the Opposition will find it hard to reject an election, they wanted an extension, well the have gotten one, what reason will they give to try to avoid a general election, all the polls show that Labour would get a massive beating.  The PM should go to the Country on a HARD BREXIT, that the House of Commons can not be trusted, and that the Courts have shown a REMAIN BIAS, specially the Scottish Courts.  There will be those within the Labour Party that wand a 2nd Brexit vote, but the Brexit supporters might just be lucky, Corbyn wants a general election, thus it might just happen.  A general election before Christmas, fantastic NOT!!.

PM Boris PAUSES Brexit Deal - Brexit Updat1 - General Election 2019

BBC News: Reports " MPs reject Brexit bill timetable "

Lets Get Real:

Thus today was another anti climax, very much like Saturday, the Speaker would not allow a Brexit vote on Saturday, then today the House of Commons voted for a 2nd reading of the Brexit Deal but refused to follow the Government timetable.   The PM stated that he was pausing the process, this is wise, the PM should go for a general election, get an extension, a short extension and then call a general election and force the Opposition Parties to refuse to grant one after they said they would once a extension was give by the EU.  The House of Commons is a ZOMBIE Parliament, most of the HARD REMAINERS face getting the boot by the voters, that is why they are afraid of a general election.   PM Boris should go for a HARD BREXIT, he has given his word that the UK will be out of the EU on the  31st of October. 

Hillary vs. Tulsi - Part 2 - US Election 2020

Fox News: Reports " 2020 Dems dismiss Hillary Clinton’s attacks, rally to Tulsi Gabbard’s defense over Russia accusation "

Lets Get Real:

As stated in my previous most, either HRC has lost the plot or is planning to get in to the 2020 race, why attack a candidate so low in the ratings, we all respect to Rep, Gabbard's she is not in the top tier and at least she has served her Nation, unlike Bill Clinton or Bush 43 in Vietnam ( let's be be fair, Bush 43 was in the Texas national guard as a flyer and had a uniform).   It is interesting to see from the article that the feud between the two ladies goes back to 2016 when Gabbard supported Senator Sanders, the Clintons NEVER forget or forgive.  If HRC is going to make such statement from the touch line then she should expect to be attacked, if she really thinks the above she should get in to the race, she did win the popular vote in 2016 and did not grandstand over the issue, unlike Al Gore in 2000 over Florida.  Run HRC, the Crown could still be yours. 

Biden on Trump and Iran - US Election 2020

Daily Mail: Reports " Joe Biden warns that an increasingly 'erratic' Donald Trump could accidentally lead the U.S. into WAR with Iran before next election "

Lets Get Real:

This record shows that Biden has gotten Trump WRONG, he is a major appeaser, he has  removed US troops from Northern Syria, thus allowing the Turks to invade and remove the native Kurds and give the Russians a great security presence in the area.   In Afghanistan the Trump Oval wanted to have talks with the Taliban before they killed a US Soldier and Trump ceased talks.  When it comes to Iran, the Tehran Regime shot down a US drone and allowed Iran to attack Saudi Arabia, with no answer from the US.   In other foreign policy hot spots, Trump has bent over backwards to please Russia from the Ukraine to Syria, while he allows North Korea to develop nuclear weapons.  Trump is WEAK, he does not understand the need for the US to lead Western security and prevent the threats to US growing.   Thus Biden is flying a hail mary pass to save his campaign, it might not work. 

Has HRC LOST Her Marbles? - US Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " Democratic candidate Tulsi Gabbard calls Hillary Clinton 'embodiment of corruption' over Russia-bots slur...The presidential hopeful attacks the former US secretary of state after suggestions Ms Gabbard is "a favourite of the Russians".  "

Lets Get Real:

In normal process Presidential LOSERS, either fade away or are made Ambassador to Japan.  It seems that there is still fire in the belly of Hillary Clinton, it was all meant to be different, he was supposed to be Democratic nominee in 2008, and then again she was on the road to the Oval Office in 2016, she had had a speech ready, and in the end in 07 she lost to Barack Obama and then she won the popular vote in 2016 but lost the electoral college to Donald Trump of all people.   IF HRC really feels that Gabbard is a favourite of Russia she herself should get in to the race, it is not to late and it would spark more media attention on the field.  The Clinton Camp could argue that she won the popular vote in 2016 and VP Biden is hitting the skids, due to lack luster stage performance and the attacks by Trump on his son's business dealings in THE Ukraine.   If Reagan can run three times, 1968, 1976 and 1980,  why not HRC in 2020, if she is that rattled by the field, she should either get back in to the presidential race or spend more time with her grandkids, shouting from the touch line does not help. 

Mayor Pete SURGES in Iowa - US Election 2020

USA Today: Reports on a new poll that finds Mayor Pete Buttigieg surging in Iowa, the poll states, " The poll, taken Wednesday through Friday, put Biden at 18%, Warren at 17% and Buttigieg at 13% among 500 likely Democratic caucusgoers.  "

Lets Get Real:

It would not shock this blog if Mayor Pete could WIN in Iowa and NH, he is a war hero, he is young and he is gay, if that does not tick all the boxes for the LIBERAL Democrats then nothing will.   It can be postulated that VP Biden has hit the skids, the attack on Biden and his family by POTUS might have caused damage, and the fact that Warren is seen as being evasive on how she would fund her medical reform has not helped her.   The fact that Senator Sanders had a heart attack and did not tell the press for three days has pricked his balloon as representing the left and honesty.   It is still far too early to predict who will win Iowa, and let's recall New Hampshire likes to go its own way, so winning Iowa does not mean you have a shot in NH.  The front runners , Biden, Warren and now Mayor Pete have to spend the next the next three months in Iowa, they have to feel like a resident.   Of course the impeachment investigation is over shadowing the race, that is why Democratic leaders want it quick and finished by Thanksgiving.   Advice to candidates, wear heavy coats, its very cold in IOWA and NH in December and January.
