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.

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.

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

#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.

KAMALA HARRIS IS NOT BARACK OBAMA, WILL NOT WIN.

ICHEOKU says there is a saying in some communities that a monkey see and a monkey do. Translated, imitating a success story is not always a form of flattery, as it sometimes leads to unintended consequences, failure. People who have mastered things make doing them appear easy. So it is not always sufficient by itself to try to replicate what they did; but to first try to understand how they did it. Thereafter, you can then travel through the same pathway which they followed and hope for the best, to achieve the same result. 

President Barack Obama understood this very well, the reason he charmed his way into the minds and hearts of the American people, who rewarded him with 8 years in the White House. First, he understood very well that there is no way he could win the White House without the approval and support of the white majority Americans and he went to work to win them over. He put his charm offensive on them and won their hearts. He had the disarming smile, cool mien, silky smooth mannerism, innocent attentiveness, great oratory prowess and above all, a serpentine cunning. His deftness was such that, any time there was any raising of eyebrow about his past possible anti white people sentiments, he rushed out to quell it. He vehemently denied and denounced it and went to whatever length possible to convincingly and satisfactorily explain away whatever the allegation. 

The former president was masterful in deploying all his qualities into wooing the white majority Americans and assured them that their fate under his presidency was safe. He did not scare them away but made them feel comfortable with his presidency. Even when any past incident which suggested that he was anti white people surfaced, he rushed out  to quell it. He was so clever in doing this, that even if it meant throwing his black mentors under the bus to prove and reassure white people that he got their back, he did so, effortlessly and without hesitation. It worked and it rewarded him with two presidential terms, eight years in the White House. Such a feat by a minority candidate will not be easily replicated again, if not impossible and at best, will be extremely difficult. Barack Obama is extremely gifted; he is a child of destiny and all the stars in the constellation correctly lined up to help make him president. 

Unfortunately, there is no Barack Obama among all the minorities running for president in 2020, because the good Lord does not make many of Obama's type, but randomly rewards every generation with just one or few of such figures. Such historical figures are like the Northern Star, of whose true fix there is no fellow in the firmament. Martin Luther King was such a fellow and since his assassination, many have tried but failed to fill his larger than life shoes. Barack Obama is it and possibly Barack Obama will be the it, the first and last one and only minority to ever be president of the United States of America, period. 

So, to all those people who are thinking that America has turned the corner by electing a black man president twice, and this thinking is the primary motive which is driving the minority candidates' quest for the presidency in 2020, ICHEOKU says not so fast. America has had their shot at a minority president and it will not happen again; at least not in the nearest future. Barack Obama was a smart and specially unique person. A well gifted political navigator, who cleverly masked himself and did not needlessly raise the antennas of white people. He was an epochal figure who had a perfect timing and made history as the first and possibly the last minority president of America; and such happenstance do not occur twice in a lifetime. 

ICHEOKU therefore is emphatic that there will not be another minority president of America, at least not in our lifetime. So, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Julio Caesar are wasting their time, energy and resources, gallivanting around in the name of running for president. The two black candidates, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, especially, lack everything which Barack Obama had in abundance. They lack his cucumber coolness, his air, his disarming smile, his decode-proof demeanor, his infectious charm, his eloquence and great oratorical skills, his ability to maintain his top gasket no matter the needling. In short, Barack Obama's personality is such that even his fiercest critics conceded that unique trait of his and are in agreement that he can never erupt, no matter the circumstance. 

Barack Obama is unlike the two black candidates, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, whose deep seated anger has repeatedly erupted on national television to the chagrin of the American people, who unfortunately will not be comfortable with having any of such irascible fella in their White House. Cory Booker bared his fangs with his Spartacus moment and Senator Kamala Harris displayed her temper also during the Judge Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearing. Kamala also did herself in by comparing ICE officials to KKK and most recently during her spar with Joe Biden on busing of school children. Both candidates have shown their hands and American people are scared of them; and will avoid having them as president just as much as people avoids a leper. Simply put, both candidates are too risky a proposition, to even contemplate putting in the White House. 

ICHEOKU says both candidates are too brash, too angry, too rash, too cocky, too anti White people to be president. They both nurse deep seated rage against White people, that if given the opportunity, will possibly call for their pound of flesh. White people are afraid of suffering repercussions for what happened in their history with black people and will always guard against that possibility. Barack Obama conned them up to the point that they became assured on his harmlessness and thus comfortable with him, elected him president. But with Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, they are so scared of them to the point of even being repulsed by them, such that they will first elect a dead Harriet Tubman president, before looking at the two. 

The two candidates, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, blew their cover so early in the game, that winning back the confidence and trust of the white people will not be easy, if ever. People everywhere are about protecting themselves and their interests; and white people will not just lay down prostrate or let their guards down and tempt fate by allowing any of the two candidates get into the White House. As a result, their  presidential bid is as good as a lost cause, dead on arrival; because neither of them will win the Democratic Party's nomination and if it magically happens, Cory or Kamala will not win the presidential election in November 3rd, 2020. 

Both candidates are just too angry to be trusted with the office of the president. White Americans are not comfortable with them nor ready to entertain the idea that they will not take vengeance against them by formulating anti white people's policies that will affect them adversely. Unfortunately, anger alone is not enough nor sufficient to win an election. A matter made worse for this duo because White people are still the majority in America and without their accepting, approving and supporting a candidate, such a candidate might as well be on a frolic of his or her own, wandering in the laland of a wishful presidency in their dream, but definitely not in the White House. 

ICHEOKU says only Barack Obama could pull if off and he did twice pull it off. Unfortunately, neither Kamala Harris nor Cory Booker is a Barack Obama and their current effort will end up only in aspiration, but definitely not in realization of the presidency. The other bad news for the two "angry birds" candidates is that there is nothing they can do at this stage to repair the damage to their reputation which they brought unto themselves, having been recognized as two angry, white-hating, black candidates. Such reputation or notoriety is like a stigma, once it sticks, it does not easily get wished away. Were ICHEOKU to be advising either candidates, will encourage them to wind down their operations and cut their losses asap, because their road to the White House is blocked with insurmountable obstacles - their anger and their anti white people's deeply rooted passion are both a no no for any person aspiring for the White House. Simply put, their presidential bid is toast, a typical example of failure to launch.
