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.

SNP Falling Apart - Part 2 - Post EU

Daily Mail: Reports " Sturgeon lets rip at 'undemocratic' Theresa May as PM makes clear she will IGNORE First Minister's demands to hold a fresh independence referendum before Brexit  "

Lets Get Real:

The Scottish FM thought she could play PM May, that the PM would give way, but when you compare May to Thatcher you might be missing the point, when did the Iron Lady ever give up.   The SNP has thrown its only political weapon, calling for a 2nd Independence vote, the game comes under London rules, they have to say yes, otherwise any vote would not be binding or legal.   The tone from the BBC News is of shock, they have been egging the Scottish FM along, past commentary had the view that May would have to give way, well she has not, and good for her, the elite liberals appeasers at the BBC and the Guardian will never defend anything if its in the interest of the UK.   The May NO was  good for Democracy and it saves the Scottish people having to form an opinion on a 2nd vote.   The Queen will be happy.

May says NO to 2nd Scottish Vote - Post EU

BBC News: Reports " The UK government is to reject calls for a Scottish independence referendum before Brexit after Theresa May said "now is not the time". "

Lets Get Real:

This is an excellent move by the PM, she controls the board when it comes to a 2nd Scottish Vote, she has not ruled it out in the future, but first the UK must get a Brexit deal with the EU, and then see the results.    This move out foxes the Scottish FM, when the UK is out of the EU, so will be Scotland, Spain and others have made it clear that Scotland would have to re - apply, the question is on the relationship, there is a strong anti EU vote in Scotland, do Scots want to be run by the jack boots of Berlin, or will they take the NORWAY option, that is following all the rules of EU without being a the table for talks, do not see the Scots falling in love with that option.   Thus the EU vote is off the table for the near future, the SNP will blame London, but at least you can bet to London and protest, how many Scots are going to go to Berlin and protest the fish policy, how many speak Germany is the question.  The men and women of Scotland who died in WW1, WW1 and other battles must be turning in their grave at how phony the Scottish FM is and how bad that is for Scotland.   A good day for the UK.
