Tucker Carslon is a good source of news on it. But if you went by BBC absolutely NOTHING has been happening on the Mueller investigation over the last four weeks. This despite the fact that they must have about 40 staff covering the USA on a permanent basis.

Mo...Carrie Gracie's are pretty good, as is she. Most of these predictions are just wishful thinking from those who only pay attention to their own narrative.<br />I think Trump's tax reforms are a crap shoot, but may just make a lot of his base happy in a 'jam today' kind of way. If he can get some kind of deal with China (without doubt the most threatening business<br />entity constantly and mystically ignored by the media), he'll have a score.<br /><br />US Blue state politicians will be asked some "hey, what are we paying for?" questions after February. And of course Katty Kay will find some bleaters. Te-dum.<br /><br />If he can keep his General's mitts out of Iran, and stop re-tweeting without checking, I think Trump might have a good 2018. No more PNAC plans, Donald. Back off.<br /><br />I also reckon the Russia collusion investigation is going to backfire spectacularly on the US Dems. To keep up with it all, I watch the Tucker Carlson show on You Tube every night instead of the BBC late news. The narrative is somewhat different.<br /><br />Russia will have a good World Cup 'cos their hooligans have been forewarned. It's not rocket science.<br /><br />Finally, I think that moves to cancel Brexit will come quite quickly in 2018. The proof of that is in the lack of any pudding, and the British government trying to drown itself in the gravy of PESCO etc. <br />This blog is great, please keep it up. Happy New Year to both of you.Enoughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-21863834797635098312017-12-31T16:10:55.763+00:002017-12-31T16:10:55.763+00:00Yes.

And it's never happened so far. Will it finally come true?" <br /><br />Answer: NO!!! Thrice no. Never was going to happen, never will for a whole host of reasons including the fact that Western Media keep pushing him. <br /><br />The BBC like to push Imran Khan as a westernised guy but you should hear the things Khan comes out with in Pakistan. He's fully signed up to Sharia Law.Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.com
