Trump on Today's terror attempts - Trump Era

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 7.33pm post the following, " President Trump called the attempted bombings “despicable” and vowed that the federal government would not rest until the perpetrators are found.  "

Lets Get Real:

At last POTUS is acting Presidential, one wonders will he tone down  his attacks on Democrats and the media, of course the question is how long can keep himself quiet, there are the Mid Terms coming up, he does not want to lose the House or Senate, he favourite targets are HRC and the uber liberal press, one can postulate that his attacks on the media such as CNN have been seen by those on the extreme right as giving a green light for such terror actions.   This is of course what the media will say, then the opposition forces will go back to fighting on the airwaves and on social media.   Everything these days is POLITICAL. 

May and her Conservative MPs - Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " 'It wasn't a lion's den, it was more like a petting zoo': Theresa May SURVIVES her 'show trial' with Tory rebels over Brexit after making 'heartfelt' address to her backbenchers "

Lets Get Real:

Thus IF PM May can get a deal from the EU in November or December she has to get it through her Cabinet and then the House of Commons.   As this blog supports Brexit the main prize is that the UK leaves the EU in March 2019, everything after that is open to debate.   The PM needs to get a deal that looks good to some of Labour MPs, they ALL won't support a straight rejection, if she can pick up around 50 that would counter balance any losses she would face from the Conservative Party and the DUP.   Thus endless more days about Brexit and every week will be a crisis moment for the PM.   This blogger just wants it to finish, it seems that Brexit has gone longer than some Wars. 

PM May and her BackBench MPs - Brexit Update - Post Brexit

Sky News - Live Reporting: Reports in its live posts the following, " A Brexiteer MP says the PM’s performance has gone down “very well”. “She’s not going anywhere,” they claim.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the PM has gotten through another crucial meeting, she is still PM, the questions that has to be asked, are the MPs being nice to her because they support her or do they see her as finished and do not want to add to her problems.   In 1997 Sir John Major was treated well by the voters, they and made up their minds to vote for the new kid on the block, that being Tony Blair, thus they did not give Major a hard time when he was out campaigning.  The question is how many letters have gone to the Chairman of the 1922 Committee asking for a vote of confidence in PM May, it could be argued that it would be foolish to have the vote while No 10 is in talks with the EU, but then Conservative MPs are not your normal voters at the best of time.   It only takes 48 Conservative MPs asking for a vote for a vote to take place.    Those that thought that PM May would FALL have been shown to be wrong with their predictions, their use of words might have helped the PM, one only hopes that the PM gets a semi good deal from the EU or the MPs will be back in their attempt to remove the PM. 

Terror Threats to Bill & Hillary Clinton, President Obama and Others - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Suspected explosive devices were sent to former US President Barack Obama and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the US Secret Service has said.  "

Lets Get Real:

The FBI, Homeland Security and other US intelligence and law enforcement agencies will be after the terrorists would sent these bombs.   The threats were aimed at Democrats or those supporting Democrats, thus one has to assume that the would be terrorists are loony right wing extremists.   The FACT that the White House was not a target points the finger at the extreme right.   One would hope the FBI, State and local Police Forces will catch these terrorists and throw them in to jail and throw away the key.   A Democracy is about debate, even heated debate, but the use of terrorism can never be accepted.    NOW let's get to the politics, this brazen terrorist attack should get the liberal base out, also one can expect the liberal press to be ALL over the issue.  This is a say day for US Democracy, thank goodness for the US secret service and other Police authorities. 

Reagan and Gorbachev's INF Treaty - Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " President Donald Trump said Saturday that he intends to withdraw the US from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, citing Russia's violations of the treaty and China's missile arsenal as reasons for ditching the accord.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians have been wanting to get out of the INF Treaty for years, this break with the Treaty by the USA will go down well with Putin's Russia.  Former President Gorbachev has come out against the move, one does wonder what the late President Ronald Reagan would have thought, it can could be argued that Reagan would have supported Trump, when he was a candidate he opposed other deals made by US Presidents and the then USSR.  As Putin's Russia has been cheating for YEARS.   The mainstream liberal press will not be happy, it does show that Trump can be tough on Russia, that is good before the November Mid Tems.

PM May and the House of Commons - Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports on what the  PM said in the House of Commons, " the PM said: "There are some limited circumstances in which it could be argued that an extension to the implementation period might be preferable, if we were certain it was only for a short time.  "

Lets Get Real:

The PM will be interested to read the papers tomorrow, will they support her or back a new leader.   The UK voter just wants the EU finished with, it's going on for months.   If the extension gets us out of Europe and gets a deal with EU then it is worth thinking about.  The question is the cost, how many more billions will it cost the UK.  On Wednesday the PM faces the 1922 Committee, will they support her or will the Party need a new leader by Christmas.  Interesting few hours and days for the PM. 

PM May in the House of Commons - Brexit Update - Post Brexit

BBC News: Reports " Theresa May has said she is prepared to "explore every possible option" to break the deadlock in Brexit talks.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the PM says 95% of the withdrawal agreement is agree, the sticking point is the other 5%, and that is Northern Ireland.  The PM will face the 1922 Committee on Wednesday, that could be the point that the PM find her time is up, she needs her MPs to keep their nerve, but she has being saying that for ages, and we still do not have a deal with EU.   The PM has to make clear that she is a bloody difficult woman ( her own words ) and make it clear to her MPs she will fight for on, that it will take a vote to get rid of her and who else have they as a leader.    This COULD be a critical week for the PM.
