Time For A New US Political Party?

The US is becoming ever more divided politically .....

USA Politically Divided

 .... with the current two major parties both prone to being hijacked by and led by extremists of the left and the right, and assassinations and assassination attempts, now seemingly a real factor in political life.

Claims of Victory

Wars that don't end in the total destruction and surrender of one side ....

"Mission accomplished" US President Bush 2003

   ... can often produce strange definitions of victory.

BBC Agenda

 
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) claims that they uphold a culture of fairness .....

BBC Founded With Lofty Ideals - Long Dead.

 ... over its front portals were inscribed the words “This temple of the arts and muses is dedicated to Almighty God by the first Governors in the year of our Lord 1931, John Reith being director-general …”

Refugees For-evermore

 At what point do "refugees" stop being refugees? 

Jewish Refugees In Yemen, Nov 1949

..... after 10 years? 20 years? 40 years? Inherited refugee status forever and eternally?

Quelle Surprise Biden Withdraws

 I guess on one hand, Biden's withdrawal from the Presidential race is a surprise ....

Biden Refers To Vice President Trump

.... but on the other hand it wasn't. 

Stormy Days

In all the kerfuffle and hullabaloo over 'Stormy Gate' in the USA, many of Donald Trumps supporters have completely lost the point of (all) the charges Trump faces.

New York Post Headline 2018 Trumps Love Child

Its not that a doorman, who alleged that Trump has a "love child" was paid $30,000 by the National Enquirer (a US tabloid whose then publisher David Pecker, was/is a long-time ally of Mr Trump), for an exclusive, and then didn't print the story, so squashing it.

Cupidity Knows Know Borders

Irans Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khameni has authorised purges of those Iranian officials involved in 'economic sabotage'.

This after US sanctions have really bitten, with Iran's currency, the Rial, seeing a 140-percent drop in its value.

The Poster Boys

A recent interview of President Trump in the White House  ....

A Picture Of A President? .....

.... highlighted a painting on the wall in the background.

Suited And Booted Thugs

Once again Turkish government thugs have been caught abusing the hospitality of a foreign country, by beating up peaceful and legal protesters.

Suited And Booted

Last time it was in a public speech forum in the little South American country of Ecuador. This time the shocking scenes of violence were in the United States of America. Its supposed ally ....

Broken US Politics

With the US Presidential election campaign still rumbling on (it begins to seem never-ending) ..... 8th November is voting day if you still want to know .... many of us non US citizens are surprised at how close it still apparently is. The polls after the first live TV 'debate' showed Clinton just 4% ahead of Trump.

Polls Way Too Close For Hilary's Liking

Its actually hard for us to really understand how Mr Trump, who has been caught outright lying on 35% of his statements during the campaign (as opposed to the 12% of times Mrs Clinton has been caught doing so), could even still be a credible candidate ..... but then we miss the point of how thoroughly disliked Mrs Clinton is across vast swathes of North America.
