GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS NEXT.

Just five people shy of Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting incident that claimed 26 lives, the Uvalde Texas Robb elementary school mass shooting at 21 victims, now ranks among the highest grossing gun carnage in America. It is sad that such frequent blood spilling has tragically become part of our culture as a society. May the souls of the killed now rest.

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi once questioned former President Donald John Trump's fitness to remain in office due to what she claimed was his declining mental capacity. Does anyone know what Madam Speaker presently thinks about the incontrovertible case which America is now saddled with? Just curious!

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

The West should convert frozen Russian assets, both state's and oligarchs' owned, into a full seizure and set them aside for the future rebuilding of Ukraine. Like the Marshal Plan, call it the Putin Plan.

A HERO IS BORN.

I am staying put. I will not run away and abandon my people. The fight is here in Ukraine. What I need are weapons and ammunitions, not a ride out of town like former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani - President Volodymyr Zelensky.

NOW, YOU KNOW.

When fishing for love, bait with your heart and not your brain, because you cannot rationalize love. - Mark Twain.

JUST THE FACT.

#MeToo MOVEMENT: A BAD NEWS GONE CRAZY.

"To all the women who testified, we may have different truth, but I have a great remorse for all of you. I have great remorse for all of the men and women going through this crisis right now in our country. You know, the movement started basically with me, and I think what happened, you know, I was the first example, and now there are thousands of men who are being accused and a regeneration of things that I think none of us understood. I’m not going to say these aren’t great people. I had wonderful times with these people. I’m just genuinely confused. Men are confused about this issue. We are going through this #MeToo movement crisis right now in this country." - Harvey Weinstein.


RON DELLUMS: UNAPOLOGETICALLY RADICAL.

"If it’s radical to oppose the insanity and cruelty of the Vietnam War, if it’s radical to oppose racism and sexism and all other forms of oppression, if it’s radical to want to alleviate poverty, hunger, disease, homelessness, and other forms of human misery, then I’m proud to be called a radical.” - Ron Vernie Dellums.


WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE - STEVE JOBS

“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me. God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. Memories precipitated by love is the only true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on. The most expensive bed in the world is the sick bed. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – Life. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others.” - SJ

EVIL CANNOT BE TRULY DESTROYED.

"The threat of evil is ever present. We can contain it as long as we stay vigilant, but it can never truly be destroyed. - Lorraine Warren (Annabelle, the movie)


ONLY THE POOR WISH THEY HAD STUFF?

“I’m not that interested in material things. As long as I find a good bed that I can sleep in, that’s enough.” - Nicolas Berggruem, the homeless billionaire.

MICHAEL COHEN PLEA BARGAINS: POINTS ACCUSING FINGER AT TRUMP.

ICHEOKU says what manner of a man is this guy, a lawyer, who would secretly record conversations with his client and you wonder for what possible reason? A weakling who publicly boasted that he would do anything to protect the president, that he is "very loyal and very dedicated to the president" and would even take  bullet for the president, but when the first shot was fired across the bow, he quickly ducked and let the wheezing bullet strike the target? 

This is a guy who had on several previous occasions, vehemently denied that the president had a heads-up nor knew anything about his dealings with Stormy Daniels, only for him to now turn against the president, claiming that the president instructed him to make the deal. In his own conclusion, it amounts to campaign finance violation.

The question then becomes, if indeed the president asked him to make the payments, why then did he later make requisitions for reimbursements for the payments? Why didn't the president instruct his bank account accordingly and simultaneously at the time of the instruction. Could it be a case of a personal lawyer who acted on behalf of his client, fully aware that he will be made whole once he informs the president, and as is usual in their normal course of business interactions over the decade. Is it also possible that the president was advised by Michael Cohen and acted on the advise of his counsel to make the Stormy Daniel's nuisance go away, by agreeing to pay her off in order to end her petulance and threats of a blackmail? A threat to be treated as serious in view of the period of a presidential electioneering campaign.

But a Michael Cohen, who previously stated on many different occasions that he acted intuitively and that the president was not aware of the transaction prior, but only informed him later; has now somersaulted and alleged otherwise. Query, which of the Michael Cohen should the public believe - the one who previously denied that the president knew about the transaction when he was under no pressure, or the current Michael Cohen who is overtly agitated, anxious, scared stiff and worried about a possible long term prison sentence and desperately looking for a way out; or at least, a soft landing and would say or do anything, whatever it will take, to curry favor from the prosecution, towards getting a lighter sentence. 

Therefore, is it possible that he agreed to make the admission or simply signed off on a predetermined statement just because he had no choice?  It is either he lied then or he is lying now as the two polar opposites positions cannot both be a truism. So which Michael Cohen is this, the one who lied before or the one who is lying now? Could he possibly have told the truth then and again telling the truth now, depending on whose version of the truth is being told and is believable. Did he tell the truth previously and is now telling a version of manufactured truth just to cushion his fall. Whatever be the case, his credibility is suspect at best and whatever doubt arising as to what the truth might be, must be resolved in favor of the president. Michael Cohen has more to lose, including his freedom; and having fallen out of favor of the president might be seeking his pound of flesh payback by trying to frame the president.

However, his tax fraud and making false statements to banks guilty plea has no correlation to the Russian Collusion investigation, as Michael Cohen committed the said offenses  outside his duties of working for the president as his personal attorney and therefore strictly his sole acts. His other claim of being instructed by the president is merely "a he said and he said" disputation between the two men and unless he also secretly recorded the conversation where the president was instructing him to pay Stormy Daniels, the veracity of what he said will be based on which of the two men is more believable. Michael Cohen lied before and is most likely Michael Cohen is once again lying now; and when in doubt, it should be resolve in favor of the party with less to lose, the party being accused. 

Lastly, one certainty going forward is that the Special Counsel investigation of  the Russian Collusion seems to have finally hit the rock in his primary assigned duty to find a Russian Collusion. He seems to be now simply fishing, otherwise what has someone's personal crimes of tax fraud and other crimes has to do with the president. But hey, they have certainly now moved from Russian Collusion to Michael Cohen Collusion or rather Michael Cohen please help us get the president Collusion-Collaboration. But trust is the victim in all this and if one cannot trust his attorney, who else could he trust. SAD.
