Why Donald Trump Could be a Major Challenge for the British Government
I think it's just being realistic. American concerns have shifted to the Pacific. And I doubt that Europe cares that much about challenges to American allies in Asia. Europeans now need to take up their own strategic burden, because when push comes to shove, they'll make deals with China at a cost to the US. Germany and Starmer have already indicated they intend to do so. -

There is No Joy in Mudville - Mighty Casey (Obama) Has Struck Out
I am a bit ahead of final US House of Representatives 2024 election results. But we already know that Republicans may win, or only slightly lose, the Speakership. All legacies are imperfect /flawed to a certain degree. But the US electorate has chosen this year's 2024 winner in the ongoing Trump (MAGA) vs Obama (Hope & Change) legacy battle. President - Senate* - House. Executive - Legislative - Judicial. Barack Hussein Obama - Strike 3 & you are "Out" (at least temporarily). Senate*: With 53 senators & a tie breaking VP, perhaps Republicans can finally break the Susan Collins & Lisa Murkowski Senate RINO uncertainty. This is now. But how will future historians view the long-term impact? As Trump himself stated, it depends upon MAGA's Success. President Trump - In your own legacy self-interest - Speak & Act "Presidential". It's absolutely necessary to defeat any fair or unfair "Hateful" /"Ego" labels that would detract from an otherwise positive difficult to disparage policy legacy. Conservatives - don't waste this very short 2 year "Window of Opportunity" to accomplish your goals. Quickly get your political appointments in place. Future change is inevitable, & any "honeymoon" could evaporate in an instant. Be prepared for Democrat Party & Bureaucratic slow walking /sabotage, as well perhaps for even more impeachment threats over minor events. Will the Democrat Party's Messiah - Mighty Casey - Barack Obama - Finally exit stage LEFT? I personally doubt it. Barack Obama's ego demands that in future he remain to Sanctimoniously "Stir the Pot", & to designate new proxies to defend his imperfect legacy. So many questions remain. What will happen to Joyful, but Forgettable, Unqualified & Phony Obama proxy Kackling Kamala? What of her & Uncle Tim's "Strength through Joy" theme? Is Michelle Obama once again not proud to be an American? Joy oh Joy, where did all the Joy go? Strength Through Joy - Wikipedia Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright; The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light, And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout; But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey (Obama) has struck out. meaning and origin of the phrase ‘no joy in Mudville’ – word histories The American-English phrase no joy in Mudville denotes a sense of pervasive and shared disappointment. It alludes to the defeat of the baseball team of Mudville, a fictional town in Casey at the Bat. A Ballad of the Republic, Sung in the Year 1888. This ballad was written by the U.S. poet Ernest Lawrence Thayer (1863-1940) and first published under the pen name of Phin in The Daily Examiner (San Francisco, California) of Sunday 3rd June 1888: The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Mudville nine that day; The score stood four to two with but one inning more to play. And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same, A sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game. A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest Clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast; They thought if only Casey could but get a whack at that— We’d put up even money now with Casey at the bat. But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Blake, And the former was a lulu and the latter was a cake; So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat, For there seemed but little chance of Casey’s getting to the bat. But Flynn let drive a single, to the wonderment of all, And Blake, the much despis-ed [sic], tore the cover off the ball; And when the dust had lifted, and the men saw what had occurred, There was Johnnie safe at second and Flynn a-hugging third. Then from 5,000 throats and more there rose a lusty yell; It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell; It knocked upon the mountain and recoiled upon the flat, For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat. There was ease in Casey’s manner as he stepped into his place; There was pride in Casey’s bearing and a smile on Casey’s face. And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat, No stranger in the crowd could doubt ’twas Casey at the bat. Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt; Five thousand tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shirt. Then while the writhing pitcher ground the ball into his hip, Defiance gleamed in Casey’s eye, a sneer curled Casey’s lip. And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air, And Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there. Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped— “That ain’t my style,” said Casey. “Strike one,” the umpire said. From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar, Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore. “Kill him! Kill the umpire!” shouted some one on the stand; And it’s likely they’d have killed him had not Casey raised his hand. With a smile of Christian charity great Casey’s visage shone; He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on; He signaled to the pitcher, and once more the spheroid flew; But Casey still ignored it, and the umpire said, “Strike two.” “Fraud!” cried the maddened thousands, and echo answered fraud; But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed. They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain, And they knew that Casey wouldn’t let that ball go by again. The sneer is gone from Casey’s lip, his teeth are clenched in hate; He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate. And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go, And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey’s blow. Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright; The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light, And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout; But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out. -

What Americans Want and why Democrats Failed
Just as he inherited Obama's great economy in 2017. And, people did forget that 'in years to come'. The big mistake the Dems made in the 2024 election was focusing too much on Trump and not enough on the good economy and their plans to make it even better. -
