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.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

"There is too much hate in America because there is too much anger in America." - Trevor Noah.

WORD!

A life without challenges is not a life lived at all. A life lived is a life that has problems, confronts problems, solves problems and then learns from problems. - Tunde Fashola.

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.

In our country, you can shoot and kill a nigger, but you better not hurt a gay person’s feelings - Dave Chappelle

WORD.

"If you cannot speak the truth when it matters, then nothing else you says matters.” - Tucker Carlson.

#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.

JOE BIDEN: A HILLARY CLINTON 2016 MISTAKE, LOADING.

ICHEOKU says former Vice President Joe Biden is tired and needs to retire from politics, period. He is not the best choice for the Democratic Party's presidential nominee for 2020 because he will not win the election and if he will not win, what is then the use of forcing his candidacy on the party, why the gamble? Why not give the country a real choice and rather lose with such a choice, than fronting the same guy who was rejected alongside Obama and Hillary Clinton in the November 8th, 2016 election. 

Joe Biden is increasingly looking and sounding like a sullen, melancholic undertaker, rather than an inspiring president wanna be and leader of the free world. His glorious days are way long gone and behind him; since gone with the wind of time. Joe belongs in the past and is not a candidate of now as America is a forward looking and forward moving nation, which does not dwell in the past. Therefore Americans will vote to reject such a relation back candidate because Joe Biden is not what Americans need right now. He is simply too old and so dated and so analog to be competitive in the 21st century American presidency. A man who was first elected into office and sent to Washington DC in 1972 is indeed TOO OLD to remain in Washington DC, period.

ICHEOKU makes bold to state that the once affable, aviator-sunglasses wearing, spring-stepping Joe is no more. What now passes for the then Amtrak riding Senator from Delaware, the Joey from Scranton, is but a shadow of his former ebullient self. You can blame it on degradation of cells by aging and so many family tragedies, both of which has a way of taking a drastic toll on their victims and Joe is unfortunately in their bull's eyes. The former Vice President has so much aged since leaving office that the "SHE" in Sir Richard Ryder Haggard's novel of the same title 'SHE'; the she who must be obeyed, could find solace in Joe Biden over what happened to her when she went back to the cave for a second bath in the youth assuring lake of fire. 

Joe Biden has lost coherency of thought that he now labors through speeches that even ordinary pronunciations are now becoming difficult for him. His smile is wry; there is no more spring in his steps; there is no more twinkle in his eyes and his stage presence is greatly diminished. Unlike Low Energy Jeb Bush, Joe Biden has no energy at all to say the least. Joe Biden is also no longer inspiring, thus begging the question what utility is it about him that is driving the Democratic Party's push for him to emerge as the party's presidential candidate nominee. Joe Biden is also too big to be humble and will not apologize to women who he invaded their space as well as to black people. 

A matter made worse because those who are engineering his nomination, have repackaged and pigeonholed him into only a lips-moving robot, who only recites whatever they placed in front of him, without allowing him any original thoughts or input into what he is made to rehash. It is so sad watching Joey be so straightjacketed and conscripted that he is not even allowed to ad-lib his attacks on President Donald John Trump. Everything Joe says of thinks must first be written for him, vetted and approved before he is carefully managed through its reading. It is so disheartening watching Joe Biden labor through his remarks, seeing his furrowed forehead and askance expression on his face, as he pauses many times on some lines, in what appears to be his asking himself, "should I read this, should I read that aloud?" 

A matter made worse because Joe Biden is only rehashing and re-litigating a personality flaws-attacks of the president, which an all American jury sat on, last November 8th, 2016 and returned a verdict of acquittal by his election. Thus begging the question what is the utility of a denovo trial of the same president based on his personal attributes, which American people had already ruled on as irrelevant. ICHEOKU would think that the Democratic Party having lost that argument previously with Hillary Clinton, would punt to some more winnable argument this time around with Joe Biden, such as enumerating the things which they would rather do differently to help the American people with their basic dinner table concerns. 

A progressively, proactive partisan would be taking to the shredders President Trump policies and explaining to the American people why they are bad for them and how he will improve and make them better and in some cases reverse course. The Democratic Party and their Joe Biden are not even talking about the healthcare which helped them win back the House of Representatives in the 2018's Mid Term election. They are not addressing the issues of concern to the American people such as the Southern border crisis, immigration reform, foreign policy issues of Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Russia and China, especially China's trade imbalance. Rather, it is how President Donald John Trump is a racist and Joe Biden isn't; notwithstanding his many antecedents which suggests otherwise, including that Obama was the only clean and articulate black man ever and that he is proud that his Delaware State is a slave State. 

Anyway, although some critics might say that such issues-based campaign is premature at this stage of party's nomination, but how else will a front runner truly and convincingly emerge without explaining to the electorates what he will do differently better than the president, for which reason, he seeks the nomination of the party. But the Democratic Party does not want to go there, to truly vet their nominee fairly and freely since they have decided to make Joe Biden their nominee, hence the micro-managed nomination process which is going on. None of the other contestants is even allowed a free hand to attack Joe Biden or call him out to defend his records; and you wonder, why such a nomination-coronation charade, instead of just declaring him opposed and save everybody the trouble of going through the rituals of campaigns and debates. Like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden is yet another mistake of not allowing a true choice of the people to emerge, which will again eventually cost the Democratic Party the White House come November 3rd, 2020. 

ICHEOKU says sadly, if a Joe Biden without a message is all that the Democratic Party have going into 2020, thinking to defeat President Donald John Trump, they are indeed mistaken. They will be running on empty and on a mission impossible going forward and racing into 2020. American voters are discernible voters and they would like to know how the tax cut is bad for the economy, how millions of created jobs hurts Americans, how the many businesses which are moving back to America is bad for the country, how not bombing Iran is bad for America, how low unemployment rate hurts America, how finally moving American embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing it as Israel's eternal capital is bad foreign policy. American people want to know what the Democrats would do if Kim Jong Un restarts firing of his rockets or Iran does a number on American interests in the Middle East. 

These issues and not whether President Donald John Trump is an "existential threat" to the United States is what matters to the American people. Therefore it is an arrant fallacy of nonsense for Joe Biden to raise this issue because no body is and Joe Biden fully knows this; but he chose to smear just to satisfy his possessed fanatical audience, in accordance  to the talking point of the Democratic Party. Therefore absent things which would help improve the lives and living standards of the American people, the Democratic Party will suffer the same fatality of a Hillary Clinton 2016 lost presidency with Joe Biden come 2023. Like Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton of 2016, Joe Biden will be end up being just another Democratic Party's presidential candidate, without any rallying winning message, but a hatred of the president. 

Such is not a winning formula and he will not go anywhere close to unseating the president on November 3rd, 2020. Like Hillary Clinton proved in 2016 that name recognition and hatred for the president alone, without any convincing message, does not win presidential election; so will the Democratic Party also find out and be similarly disappointed with Joe Biden, come November 3rd, 2020. ICHEOKU says Joe Biden is not the answer to the Trump question and the earlier the Democratic Party allow the nomination process to produce a real peoples choice, the better it will be for them in their desperate desire to unseat President Donald John Trump; otherwise their foisting Joe Biden on the party's ticket will spell doom for them as they will only help to reelect President Donald John Trump. #SAYNOTOBIDEN. Biden, NOT THE PEOPLES CHOICE.
