JAMES COMEY: IRREDEEMABLY CONTEMPTIBLE.

ICHEOKU says everything he said he wasn't, he is. Everything he said he doesn't do, he did; including doing the worst weasel move ever known to mankind. He said he doesn't leak and he leaked. He said that he doesn't do sneaky things and he did. He said that he doesn't do weasel moves and he did. What manner of a person is this giraffe, ostrich and emu combined personified individual, that once held sway as head of the nation's citadel of law enforcement. James Comey, simply contemptible. 

What a frigging hypocrite this fella is and he also shamelessly and effortlessly lies. His rehabilitation will take several lifetimes, if ever. He possibly did what he did because of his wife; a known wild eyed feminist and Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton's supporter extraordinaire. So, it is possible that she could have made him do it, as James Comey collapsed under the weight of her domestic pressure.  What a downfall of a man, so conceited and so full of it, that he thought himself a God who towered above even the president. 

He saw it coming, his downfall that is; the reason he hurriedly rushed through his book and speaking engagements, knowing fully well that once the IG's report comes out and his misdeeds are exposed that he will become a public pariah. But if he is brave and courageous, he will follow in the footsteps of the fabled Japanese samurais and their failed army generals, fall on his sword and disembowel himself, for the shame is simply too much and irrecoverable from. Harakiri is the only answer to his question, how does he get out from this mess. It is the palliative medicine that could assuage and save him from the pangs of his current situation. It is pitifully SAD indeed.

MAD DOG MATTIS: THE OPED HE WROTE.

ICHEOKU says he would have continued to maintain his silence and not fallen to the pecuniary temptation to "straighten" out his time with the president as his Pentagon chief. Nobody in Team MAGA really cares to know nor gives a hoot damn about whatever ego tripping that forced him to quit his job or was he even fired by the president. 

His, would have been a case where silence was golden; but suddenly and by talking, General James Norman 'Mad Dog' Mattis has demystified himself and peeled off the veneer of a hardcore, hard charging Marine General who does not kiss and tell nor rat. By talking, he would evaporate the aura and myth of Mad Dog Mattis and will henceforth be treated as another hack partisan retired general; and one who qualified as a disgruntled former hire who is mad at his former boss and wants to rat him out. 

Team MAGA loves Mad Dog Mattis but will not allow him to denigrate the leader, no matter what. General Mattis was the defense secretary and not the commander in chief; and whatever account he wants to give about a reversal of roles which he sought and desired, where he commanded and the president obeyed, will not be tolerated or go unanswered or unresponded to. He should not forget that he was only an adviser to the president on military matters and not the formulator of government policies on military use and how the commander in chief deploys them. 

General Mattis should also know that the president was not bound to accept or agree to all his advises or kowtow to all the dictates he wanted or desired. Their respective functions were clearly defined enough to be understood without any fog of doubt or needless equivocation. That only one man won his elected position as president of the United States of America and Commander in Chief of its Armed Forces; and that man appointed General Mattis as his Defense Secretary. That General Mattis served at the president's pleasure and not the other round. Finally, that General Mattis did the right thing when he quit his job because he did not want to obey and carry out the president' and commander in chief's decisions. So, instead of a continuing insubordination, the General resigned. 

This much is what the American people understands and wants to know and the General should and is expected to rest his case there, period. But any attempt to grandstand or try to re-explain what people do not care a hoot about, will be demeaning his standing in the eyes of the American public and creating room for people to start dismissing him as a petulant. He came, he saw, but he failed to conquer the president's objectives at the Pentagon; and it was good that he left based on his principles. So, yes, that he couldn't or rather failed to do his job and resigned as a result is acceptable; but it is not acceptable for him to burden the American people with the reasons he couldn't do his job. It is also instructive to note that it was not the president's fault that General Mattis failed in his assignment at the Pentagon. 

Therefore, to continue to maintain his honor, dignity and respect, General James Norman 'Mad Dog' Mattis must not turn himself into a Trump hating barking Mad Dog; especially now with the current infestation in the land of the maniacally possessed anti Trump and Trump haters who are helplessly hollering and yapping without ceasing. To not heed to this advise will be branding himself one of them and like the many before him, he too will be similarly yoked in the desert of irrelevant noise makers, who are disturbing the peace of a duly elected American president and leader of Team MAGA. Nobody ever survives the wrath of Team MAGA and the odium of such stamp of dishonor. General Mattis have earned his right to have his honor in tact, as a well respected retired American Marine General and should not do violence to it. But we shall see.

JAMES COMEY: INDICTED BUT NOT PROSECUTED.

"The responsibility to protect sensitive law enforcement information falls in large part to the employees of the FBI who have access to it through their daily duties. On occasion, some of these employees may disagree with decisions by prosecutors, judges, or higher ranking FBI and Department officials about the actions to take or not take in criminal and counterintelligence matters. They may even, in some situations, distrust the legitimacy of those supervisory, prosecutorial, or judicial decisions. But even when these employees believe that their most strongly-held personal convictions might be served by an unauthorized disclosure, the FBI depends on them not to disclose sensitive information. 

Former Director Comey failed to live up to this responsibility. By not safeguarding sensitive information obtained during the course of his FBI employment, and by using it to create public pressure for official action, Comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees—and the many thousands more former FBI employees—who similarly have access to or knowledge of non-public information. Comey said he was compelled to take these actions “if I love this country...and I love the Department of Justice, and I love the FBI.” However, were current or former FBI employees to follow the former Director's example and disclose sensitive information in service of their own strongly held personal convictions, the FBI would be unable to dispatch its law enforcement duties properly, as Comey himself noted in his March 20, 2017 congressional testimony. 

Comey expressed a similar concern to President Trump, according to Memo 4, in discussing leaks of FBI information, telling Trump that the FBI's ability to conduct its work is compromised “if people run around telling the press what we do.” This is no doubt part of the reason why Comey’s closest advisors used the words “surprised,” “stunned,” “shocked,” and “disappointment” to describe their reactions to learning what Comey had done. 

We have previously faulted Comey for acting unilaterally and inconsistent with Department policy. Comey’s unauthorized disclosure of sensitive law enforcement information about the Flynn investigation merits similar criticism. In a country built on the rule of law, it is of utmost importance that all FBI employees adhere to Department and FBI policies, particularly when confronted by what appear to be extraordinary circumstances or compelling personal convictions. Comey had several other lawful options available to him to advocate for the appointment of a Special Counsel, which he told us was his goal in making the disclosure. What was not permitted was the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive investigative information, obtained during the course of FBI employment, in order to achieve a personally desired outcome. 

The OIG has provided this report to the FBI and to the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility for action they deem appropriate." - IG Report, page 59-60.)

X

ICHEOKU says akin to the Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton October 2016 similar indictment without consequences, where the then FBI director James Comey made out a compelling case for her criminal liability, but upended it by saying that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute the case; the Inspector General literally indicted James Comey in the released report, but peradventure the Justice Department deemed it inappropriate to and will not prosecute James Comey for his intentional misdeeds and you wonder, if, in fact, the justice system is really a one-cap-fits-all accountability system. 

Anyway, ICHEOKU as well as the watching public are still askance as to why the former, ever sanctimonious FBI director, James Comey, was not marched off in handcuffs, prelude to his criminal prosecution. He was a former employee of the FBI and failed to protect information which came to him by reason of his employment. But for his employment, he would not have had access to the information, thus making it a product of his employment and therefore a protected information, but he went ahead and leaked it, regardless. James Comey also put his personal desires above the FBI standing rules by acting in the fashion he acted. He leaked a protect information just to satisfy his personal crave for vengeance against the president; a payback for his firing. Now, in addition to a leaky Comey, a vindictive Comey will also become one of his sobriquets. 

But for a man who said that he does not do a weasel move, ICHEOKU wonders how else his move against the president could be described other than simply weaselly. May be it was not okay for people in the FBI to run around telling the press what they do, but it is okay for James Comey, as shown by his own conduct, to run around and telling the press what he did? The only reasonable inference being that it is either James Comey does not fall within the definition of a person in the FBI, bound by this non disclosure rule or James Comey was above the FBI, hence a different rule applied to him specifically. 

What a specimen of human contradiction he really is and this was a guy that led the Federal Bureau of Investigation and for such a long time. He would have gotten away with it if not for a courageous President Donald John Trump who decided to take him on and successfully unmasked the creep who was formerly masquerading as the nation's chief law enforcement officer. What a way to write the last chapter of his career as another one bites the dust, James Comey, that is. ICHEOKU agrees with he Inspector General that James Comey's conduct was a dangerous example for all the thousands of subordinates in the FBI. 

An inveterate traducer of the president and now he is totally and completely vanquished, exposed as a despicable lying weasel, who should never have headed the FBI. He said he does not do sneaky things, but he did more than sneaky things. He said that he does not leak but he leaked more than a broken faucet. He said that he does not do weasel moves but real weasels are now jealous of his weasel moves. James Comey, a career of shame. Karma is real. 

MSNBC'S LAWRENCE O"DONNEL: A SHAMELESS FAKE NEWS PURVEYOR.

ICHEOKU says if the story was not verified, why then was the rush to report it? But he  is part of the same horde of invertebrates, masquerading as journalists and media people, who are out to get the president. Many of them have not recovered from the fact that they could not influence the last November 8th, 2016 presidential election and like the spoilt kids which they are, have been whining ever since and doing whatever they can to sully the president. 

A matter was made worse because it is the same MSNBC, his employer, which through Rachel Maddow and co, parroted the Russian Collusion nonsense for two long years; and have failed and/or refused to apologize for their false reportage when the witch hunt bombed out. Where then is their credibility and where is the journalism in them, if after reporting on a story for that long and it turned out to be fake, yet they refused to take it back or at least apologize to the president for dragging his name and presidency through such a long nastiness. Their failure to make amends for the Russian Collusion imbecility negates the latest so called apology by O'Donnell for the false Deutsche Bank spoof.

As a result, his no apology apology is not accepted by Team MAGA because it is not from a contrite heart. The television network which did not apologize for the Russian Collusion witch hunt, which has since turned out to be fake, cannot in all goodness be said to truly apologize for yet another Deutsche Bank fake story. A better and proper way to go, would have been to first apologize for the Russian Collusion idiocy and then this latest hoax. That way, their viewers and all those on the other side of the argument who they maligned and impugned, would know that indeed, they were truly sincere and acted on honest belief that they were pursuing a credible story in the Russian Collusion. 

Therefore, Lawrence O'Donnell can and should take his apology and stuff it in his you know where, because it is not a product of a sincere mistake. It was not an error in judgment as he claimed because there was no judgment in what MSNBC and their Lawrence O'Donnell did and continues to do as it relates to their coverage of the president and his government. ICHEOKU says the latest Deutsche Bank story is just another vindication of President Donald John Trump continuing assertion that MSNBC is a FAKE NEWS outlet, alongside their sister in sleazy reporting channel, CNN. Lawrence O'Donnell is a frigging hateful soul who Trump lives rent free in his head. SAD.

BRETT STEPHENS: A BED BUG?

ICHEOKU says in fact he actually looks like a bed bug, the human type that is; which stealthily undermines other people and eats them hollow from the inside out. A two-faced person who pretends to be a friend before you, but sabotages you behind you. 

His type is who you will find in Facebook, in charge of vetoing what is acceptable to their "community" and who would readily block you because you expressed an opinion, which according to him, is  too mean spirited and does not agree with their "community" standards. But what constitutes their "community standards" is very subjective as there is no broad spectrum of a one cap fits all rule for this "standards." It becomes whatever they wake up to and deemed not compliant to their community standards; and they usually make it up as they go. 

This guy is a snowflake of some sort who cannot take a name calling and probably resorts to his mom for answers to life's problems, issues and challenges. ICHEOKU wonders why he did not even call his mom first for advise on what to do when somebody called him a bed bug. What a lousy fella who cannot take an ordinary joke. So what if he was called a bed bug or haven't so many other people been called worse names. 

Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton for example took it like a man, with firm understanding that boys don't cry. Little Marco Rubio did not react so much except to try and hit back with his small hands comment. Lying Ted never recoiled or pleaded for mercy and of course the irredeemable deplorables are still standing tall and waxing philosophically about 2020. Mike Cohen is a rat and he is still alive in prison, begging the question which part of planet earth did this guy come from, who could not take an ordinary joke or a roast. 

Such a linguine spine and he must have been home-schooled not to have been tortured by bullies or experienced the challenges of hazing while growing up. ICHEOKU too has been called names before and is still here; but that a journalist or rather a columnist who should be used to such metaphorical speak and who probably have used such secondary name figure of speech to refer to another person, was this sensitive to being called a bed bug, is indeed a  testament that this Generation Z millennials are a lost people who cannot take care of themselves if left alone. 

What a cry baby; a matter made worse because he had the false audacity to say that the "offending" professor should visit his home and call him a bed bug to his face and that he will take whatever words or language the professor might use without being offended. Query, if he cannot take an ordinary Twitter joke, how then could he stand being called the same name to his face and in his home, which offended him on Twitter. Something is definitely wrong with this fella's emotional fortitude for him to find being called a bed bug so offensive that he almost burst out crying because of the hurt feeling. 

How about President Donald John Trump who has been called all manners of unprintable names and he is still standing, strongly tall and headed to an almost assured reelection victory on November 3rd, 2020. But here is a 45 year old man, a husband and a father of three, crying because he was called a bed bug and you wonder how he would even defend the honor of his wife and kids if he is this girlie sissy male who is overtly offended for being called a bed bug. Bed bug is a universally used moniker for trouble makers. ICHEOKU agrees with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that Mister Bed Bug abused his position when he tried to get the professor fired over something "so insignificant" as being called a bed bug and that he could be so incensed that he was so called. 

Even if bed bug is not a metaphor, what triggered such a reaction in him must be something deeply seated in his memory. It is possible that someone had used those words before to refer to him and he found the professor's joke a cruel coincidence which validates his fears that there must be something about him or the way he looks that is bed bug like. Truth hurts and he felt that he actually is a bed bug and that the world knows that he is a bed bug. Imagine deactivating his Twitter account just because he was called a bed bug and it wasn't as if it was Twitter that called him a bed bug. A definite case of the chicken bending its neck for the stew pot that cooked it, instead of the knife that severed its head. 

ICHEOKU says Mister Bed Bug is definitely over sensitive and should find a dark dank hole to crawl into and hibernate for protection from the world. He has shown by his puerile reaction that he is not a big boy and is not made of a sterner stuff, hence undeserving of both his profession and position. Even CNN's Chris Fredo Cuomo losing his tops because he was called Fredo was not this bad. Mister Bed Bug Brett Stephens, ICHEOKU says hello. 

DAVID KOCH: DEAD AT 79 YEARS, ADIEU.

ICHEOKU says a billionaire of right, David was a member of the oil and pipeline fortune Koch family of Wichita Kansas. David and his elder brother Charles Koch were also known for their libertarian political causes and activism; and were fondly and sometimes derisively referred to as the Koch Brothers. 

They were extremely fearful of the government becoming much more socialistic and domineering, and evolving into a very controlling, socialist type of government. As a result they deployed some of their wealth to influencing policies as well as the overall political direction of the country by donating to candidates who espouse their brand of government hands free on citizens, enterprises and businesses. They also donated generously to other causes, especially cancer research. 

So it is possible that there is some popping of champaign in some quarters as a result of his demise, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders in ICHEOKU's mind. The cheering not necessarily because he died, but that his anti socialist activism perished, thus removing a huge stumbling block for their agenda of turning America into a socialist country. 

David Koch died of old age related infirmities, although he survived prostrate cancer twenty seven years ago. David Koch was 79 years old. ICHEOKU says may his soul now rest. 

ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI: A MIDGET SCORNED!

"Voters will be wary of meddling with the success of Trump’s economic policies. I think he’ll get resoundingly re-elected. He’ll probably have a 40 state landslide, because what are you going to do? You’re going to put a socialist in place and wreck the entire economy?” - Anthony Scaramucci.

x

ICHEOKU says that was the PIG FACE midget just last month, July 3rd, 2019, on CNBC's Squawk Box and you ask yourself what suddenly changed? He wanted in for the spotlight but was REJECTED. A case of a woman or rather, a midget scorned, one would say. A pitiful slime ball who does not know how to take a rejection and have resorted to cheap blackmail and lashing out in the process. But good enough, American people have seen through his hollowness and it reeks of enviousness. What a sadistic humanoid.

BIDEN IGNORES OBAMA'S ADVISE: RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.

ICHEOKU say but Joe Biden's ego was in the way and he ignored the advise; and Americans are beginning to see what the former president witnessed first hand, up close and personal, the reason he offered the candid advise. But Joe Biden chose to listen to mercenary hangers-on who want to profit from a Joe Biden's presidency, while ignoring the man under whom he served as vice president for eight long years. A man who knows him better and who has his best interest at heart, especially in deference to his advanced old age. Today, Americans are witnessing the pitiful sight that is Joe Biden on campaign stumps, apparently battling serious memory loss and finding it extremely very difficult to string sentences together, lacks coherency and struggles through explanations.

ICHEOKU commends former President Barack Obama for not holding back and for honestly assessing the situation and dutifully confronting Joe Biden's viability as a presidential candidate in 2020 and asking him to reconsider his decision to run. By doing so, the former president has displayed the candor of truthfully speaking and making a good judgment call; as well as having the courage to speak up, regardless. That Joe Biden chose to ignore the wise counsel is a decision which Joe Biden will later regret and wish that he had listened. It is obvious that Joe Biden lacks both the capacity and capability to mount a successful presidential election bid and there is no pretending about it. His advanced old age and medical condition have conspired to take away the shine from the Joe from Scranton who became the Amtrak riding Senator from Delaware and it shows. 

According to sources, former President Barack Obama said to Joe Biden, "You don't have to do this, Joe, you really don't"; and further to urge Joe Biden's advisers not to let Joe damage his legacy with a run for president or embarrass himself on campaign trails. However, ICHEOKU says does not know whose "legacy" Barack Obama was referring to here, whether it is his own legacy, which is practically non existent since they have been completely decimated by President Donald John Trump or Joe Biden's personal legacy. But regardless, Joe Biden has already accomplished both as he has embarrassed himself on the trail and have also damaged whatever legacy that was being referred to. On his own personal legacy as not being worthy of the honor of an elevation to the presidency and to Obama's, because there is nothing left of his legacy anyway. 

This advise not to run possibly explains what led to the Joe Biden's statement that he told Obama not to endorse him. The stubborn Joe Biden possibly fired back at Obama, saying that he does not need his advise, approval and/or endorsement to run for president. The most likely fallout scenario would be Joe Biden saying to the former president that he will run for president regardless; and if the former president wants, let him not endorse him and then soldiered on to declare his intention to run for president 2020. May be Joe Biden mistook the friendly advise as a bad intentioned Obama, having finished his own presidency and did not want Joe Biden having a go at it. Joe Biden was probably thinking that Obama was trying to sabotage his effort at also becoming president himself. It is possible that the sincere advise by Obama was misconstrued by Joe Biden as antagonistic and possibly, together with his wife Jill, concluded that Barack Obama did not mean well  for them. 

The former president also alluded to the old and out of touch Team Biden which is not good for today's political campaign; to which ICHEOKU says like candidate, like his team; both of them are 'too old' and 'out of touch with the realities of the current political discuss in the land. They are a convergence of political Neanderthals, as old Joe Biden only feels comfortable in the company of his generation and does not trust or wants to be lost and left confused in the midst of millennials. It is the same reason Joe Biden does not want to pass the torch because he wants it all for only Joe Biden and does not believe any other person can do it better than Joe can. Simply too self absorbing.

It is also significant to note that by ignoring Obama and running, Joe Biden is holding aloft the promise which he made to late Senator John Sidney McCain to stay active in politics and not to let President Donald John Trump "ruin" it for everybody. He sees himself as Captain America, who will save Americans from President Donald John Trump and that way, he will keep his promise. Unfortunately, that desire by Joe Biden to keep a solemn promise which he made to a man who is now dead, is trying to once again cost the Democratic Party heavily with another presidential election loss. 

Anyway, whatever happens, at least President Barack Obama, like Pontus Pilate, has washed his hands off the tribulations of Joe Biden presidential quest. It is clear that Joe Biden brought it unto himself by rejecting the wise counsel of his former boss. Whether his forging on was born out of unchecked ambition or a result of someone being too full of it, Americans will soon find out. But first, he must win the Democratic Party's primaries, secure the ticket and then proceed to do the impossible, win the the White House on November 3rd, 2020. Until then, Americans can only wait and watch to see whether the former president will be vindicated or Joe Biden will prove him wrong; either way, ICHEOKU is staying tuned. 

DON LEMON: A ME TOO VICTIM OR OFFENDER?

ICHEOKU says were standards the same, may be the victim should be believed; but of course it is CNN and liberal politics and it is okay to accept that anchorman Don Lemon "categorically denies the claim." Unlike Justice Kavanaugh, who similarly categorically denied such a Me TOO claim, but his wasn't categorically enough nor okay. 

Query, is it because different standards applies when the alleged victim/accuser is a female or the alleged perpetrator/accused is a liberal? Just asking. 

But whatever happens, this is definitely not a good time for the fake news CNN's image as two of its presenters became the news for the wrong reasons. Chris Fredo Cuomo for his threatening angry tirade to kill somebody by throwing him down the stairs to a neck break and Don Lemonade Lemon's stinky sexual assault on a bartender, who he asked whether he likes pussy or dick as he shoved his "tainted" fingers under his nostrils. 

Anyway, unlike Chris Fredo Cuomo whose ugly incident was captured on video, Don Lemonade Lemon is lucky to still enjoy the benefit of the doubt because neither a photographic nor video evidence of his alleged assault exists. But it is the ME TOO era and the only thing that changed is that it was a male who made the accusation and against another male; otherwise the female feminists maniacs would have swung into action calling for the head of Don Lemonade Lemon on a platter and vociferously demanding that CNN cut him loose. Lucky Lemon.

CHRIS FREDO CUOMO: HAS SERIOUS ANGER ISSUES.

ICHEOKU says it is now obvious that all his pretentiousness on fake news CNN were just a charade, a mask of Zorro; feigning dignity, civility and gentlemanliness where none exists. It all came off like a woman's mascara in the rain and at last, he was exposed for who he is, an angry person who cannot take what he regularly dishes out to others and nearly on a daily basis. 

This is a guy who has been calling the president RACIST and a TRAITOR for "colluding" with the Russians, but who could not stand the same test when applied to him; and in his case, it was just his name being mistaken for Fredo and he erupted. A case of serving others a medicine which himself would not take. A pitiful hypocrite. 

Anyone who watched the video where he threatened violence on an innocent fella, of pushing him down the stairs to his ultimate death by broken neck, can then imagine  what he would have done to all those fake news media hacks who have been accusing the president of being a Russian agent, were he to possess the powers of the office. Just a mistaken name and he went off like a rocket, blowing his top gasket in the process. He not only threatened to kill the guy by a neck break through a fall, but he also was very unruly, unguarded and cursed like a drunken sailor, using profanities, not minding that his 9 year old daughter was present. 

ICHEOKU says such an erratic behavior is a testament that the suits which he wears merely covers up a raw, crass and uncouth street fella, who lacked proper upbringing, including right mannerisms and etiquette. Little wonder he cannot seem to shake off the complexity of being an underachieving Cuomo and the least fulfilled of the Cuomos. That such a vagrant individual is the face of CNN and anchors a one hour program on the station daily, is yet another scandal to hit the network. Regrettably, this is the same guy who has been accusing Trump's MAGA supporters of vagrancy. 

ICHEOKU has nothing personally against Chris Fredo Cuomo, but after watching that video, is emphatic that CNN should not keep him a day longer on the network; at least not on television. A desk assignment will do, as his continuing stay on television will only be a reminder of the career-killing, indelible life altering rant. Keeping him will reflects poorly on the network and he should not be the example which CNN wants its viewers to emulate, especially their young and easily impressionable ones. 

The name Fredo shouldn't have such a bile to it as to provoke any disciplined person to such a ravenous rage, except of course the person is a time bomb waiting to go off. ICHEOKU wonders what kind of childhood which Chris Fredo Cuomo had that enshrined in him such a level of anger. Even watching his Snowball's eyes and twitching face on television and some expressions which keep them company, as well as his sometimes forced showing of teeth which he passes for a smile, tells any keen observer that he is not a happy person. Anyway, going to anger management class will be in order and any gun control measures must start by taking his guns away and keeping him away from guns. Such an angry and easily provoked personality has no business having guns handy. 

ICHEOKU says Fredo is not a racist word, otherwise Italian Don Corleone would not have named his second son Fredo. In fact Fredo is an endearment for Frederick and ICHEOKU knows a lot of people named Frederick who are affectionately called Fredo and they love it. Also Francis Coppola is Italian and he wouldn't have allowed such an Italian slur "Fredo" in making the movie; neither would Mario Puzo, another Italian, have chosen the racist name for the character in his book, The Godfather. The Godfather was not about putting Italians down but showcased their struggles through early life in America and rise to fortune. 

None of these Italians would have tolerated any disparaging of their heritage through a racial slurring name, Fredo. Chris Fredo Cuomo misfired by alleging that Fredo is racist and akin to the word Nigger because it is neither. He should have instead claimed the name and own it; and then turn it into a profitable brand merchandising and made a fortune doing it. 

But what was witnessed is a man embroiled in rage and you wonder if his home is a safe place to raise children and whether his daughter and wife are even safe being under the same roof with him. The Children welfare services ought to pay them a visit and conduct welfare check on them, failing which they should be removed from the home. CNN must therefore withdraw its blanket support for their angry presenter as not to do so, presupposes that the network condones violence and by necessary implication, encourages same and/or a threat of it, regardless of whatever preceding provocation that might have occurred. 

CNN must not be seen to endorse what happened or in any other way telegraphs, by their reaction, that such outlandish outburst is okay, even in defense of oneself. It is also not okay for adults, particularly parents, to curse in front of their children. It is the same thing which the network accuses Trump and Trump's supporters of doing that their anchorman did and now they suddenly approved of it. 

Threatening to throw a person down the stairs is as serious any threat could be and it should not be taken lightly. Possibly, it was a tip of the iceberg of the real Chris Fredo Cuomo that Americans and the whole world saw on the video and you wonder what the eruption would look like behind an enclosed space, with no camera rolling. It is for the same exact reason that our Lord and master Jesus Christ admonished that he who is without sin should throw the first stone. Here is a man who is in the business of casting aspersions on people and who continuously disparages the president, losing his temper so publicly and going off like a tornado. Even Bill O'Reilly's "DO IT LIVE" outburst fades in comparison. 

Chris Fredo Cuomo is irreparably damaged and has lost the moral authority to opine on people's behavior, especially the president. As long as he shall live and for however long CNN decides to keep him on television, and regardless of whatever achievements and accomplishments he may record, the video has forever defined him and he will be remembered for the angry outburst as Fredo. It is SAD and it is the sad reality of life, as anyone's reputation could so easily go up in smoke at a moment, either as a result of their own making or the witchery of others. But in this case, Christopher Fredo Cuomo has no other adversary except himself, as he could have easily walked away, but chose to show the pestilence that he has been going to the gym and pumping iron. Now, it is only regrets, the mother of "HAD I KNOWN."

JEFFREY EPSTEIN: JUMPED OR WAS PUSHED?

ICHEOKU says in a high powered intrigues-filled world, where many have been killed for less, killing an already trapped quarry wouldn't be that much a difficult task to pull off. Here was a man who had attempted suicide once and should have been on a 24/7 suicide watch, but suddenly succeeded in killing himself and inside the same facility where he was being held and supposedly under a suicide watch. 

ICHEOKU says what exactly happened can only be unraveled through a thorough forensic investigation, as anything short of that will amount to a continuing cover up of the decision to get rid of Jeff and with it, bury every other scandal arising from the sex scandal which implicated the high and mighty of the society. A matter made so appalling because he "killed" himself so soon following the revelation of the many powerful men who were implicated in the sex scandal including a member of the British royal family Prince Andrew, New Mexico former Governor Bill Richardson the United States Ambassador to the United Nations and Energy Secretary under Bill Clinton, Maine Senator George Mitchell. 

So, is it possible that Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself but was a victim of a conspiracy to silence him and make him a never to be available witness? Who had something to gain with Jeff out of the picture and were there video cameras tuned on him recording his every move. Something does not seemingly add up here when a prison under suicide watch in a facility succeeded in still killing himself. Regardless of the enormity of his crimes, it is not sufficient that he died as there were so many unknowns the country would have wished a trial would have throw more lights on. As Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar rightly said and ICHEOKU agrees, 'it is not enough that a bad guy died, as there were other bad guys involved in the sexual abuse saga." Who are these bad fellas who were on the Jeff Epstein Lolita joyride. But now, without the main accused person being present, how far the investigation would go is but anyone's guess. 

ICHEOKU says but why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself instead of taking a chance at trial and with the best criminal defense lawyers money could procure, hope for a successful defense. OJ Simpson beat two murders rap and sexual molestation is definitely a lesser offense than murder; so a verdict of acquittal was a possibility. Moreso, he could have waited until the whole process exhausts itself and if an undesirable verdict results, then end his life if that is what he really wanted to do. But now, Jeffrey is gone and never to be heard from again; and you wonder if all the troubles he went through getting rich, only to now die like a dog, was worth effort afterall. But yes, the preacher in Ecclesiastes 1:2 was right that all is vanity. Jeffrey Epstein was 66 years. May his soul now rest.

MARK ZUCKERBERG: UNBAN THE BANNED!

ICHEOKU says Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg is gradually morphing into a full blown dictator, but will Americans accept that? Selectively banning from Facebook people with different viewpoints is not good nor healthy for a pluralistic society with diversity of human beings and diverse viewpoints. In the ongoing battle of ideology, there must be a level playing field and not one unfairly rigged by social media for a predetermined outcome.

DAYTON OHIO SHOOTER CONNOR BETTS: ANOTHER ANGRY AMERICAN.

ICHEOKU says why are there so many angry Americans willing to take out their hurt on others by killing innocent Americans at the slightest tip over. ICHEOKU is emphatic that political ideology has nothing to do with it, neither is the availability of guns the primary driver. These lunatics are hurting, angry and easily tipped over; and have no compunction in taking it out on defenseless citizens. It Is about time we as a people stopped making excuses or solely blaming the NRA for the senseless acts of some deranged sadists and admit that a lot of Americans are hurting and mentally damaged. 

What creates the level of hurt in these people that they would go about killing innocent people is beyond ICHEOKU. Why are they this so mad? May be the media and Hollywood could tone it down a notch and stop sensationalizing of their programmings as well as excessive violence in their movies, which only works up people, instead of merely informing them. The media and Hollywood, instead of just finding some politicians to scapegoat for all these shootings, should learn to take some responsibility for their part in it and join hands in finding a solution or at least some reduction thereto. 

The unending carnage is not solely because of the NRA or availability of guns, but has something to do with too much anger and hatred in the land. People are just worked up, angry and looking to take it out on others. ICHEOKU is emphatic that even if all the guns in America are taken away, these misfits will still find a way to commit their heinous acts, including somehow securing guns from somewhere. America is bleeding and it is about time everyone came together to try and resolve the crisis, especially cheap politicians who are always seeking to mine such a tragedy for political gains. 

Beto O'Rourke was blaming the president's rhetoric for the El Paso shooting but hasn't similarly blamed anyone's rhetoric for the Dayton Ohio shooter who killed 9 and wounded 27 in a bar. His taciturnity came probably after he learnt that the Dayton Ohio shooter was a register Democrat who supports Elizabeth Warren, ANTIFA and agrees with Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in America turning into a socialist country. This is the risk anyone runs in seeking to make unnecessary political gains out of such national tragedies. Enough of these wastage of American lives.

EL PASO SHOOTER PATRICK CRUSIUS: WHEN ANGER EATS YOU UP.

ICHEOKU says what anger can do to somebody, hollow him out from the inside, turning him into a hateful mass murderer; who threw reason to the air, killing 20 people and injuring 26 others. It is sad and it is inexplicable; but why some Americans are so angry and easily irritable that they readily resort to murderous rage is simply incomprehensible. 

So, as we continue to discuss sensible gun control measures as well as the role NRA has to play in its success, it will also be nice to put focus on people's psychology and overall mental health. Why are people so angry and easily irritable, that they often take vengeance on innocent people. It is awfully pitiful. 

ICHEOKU says may the souls of the 20 El Paso killed now rest and wishes the 26 injured and hospitalized, speedy recovery. May justice take its course in bringing Patrick Crusius to justice; admitted that no amount of punishment, including 20 death penalties, can atone for his calamitous act, not even a death by a thousand cuts. What a human debris.

ELIZABETH WARREN: STILL THE STRONGEST CANDIDATE

ICHEOKU says the outcome-determined  polling, which places Joe Biden on the front burner notwithstanding, the Democratic Party must bite the bullet and pick a candidate who stands some chance of mounting a serious contention for the presidency in 2020 or at least would acquit   himself or herself well, trying. 

The Democrats must allow the process to pick a winner and not mire it down as they did in 2016 with Hillary Clinton's selection over the more populist Bernie Sanders. A repeat of 2016 must not be tolerated in 2020, otherwise the same result will be had. 

The pack of twenty candidates have just completed their second debate and only the Senator from the great State of Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren, has proved herself very capable of taking a serious shot at the presidency 2020. Democrats must therefore forget their old book of politicking and try something new, refreshing and exciting; by fielding a feminist female extraordinaire who is not shy nor afraid to get down on the mat and battle it out with the president. 

Elizabeth Warren checked all the departments of the big umbrella Democratic Party, especially the new paradigm, going into the 2020 presidential election. She is a female, she is a feminist, she is a white woman, she is educated, she debates quite well, she is a progressive and she is a fighter. All that is left for the Democratic Party to do, is to persuade John Delaney to pair up with her as a vice presidential candidate. 

Progressivism is the new thinking in the Democratic Party, as the core base of the party wants a forward looking candidate to lead the fight. The Democratic Party honchos must not let its base of support down by going backward with Joe Biden, because if they do, they will be punished with a rejection at the poll. Americans are a futuristic people and they do not like to go back and lick up their vomit. Joe Biden is in the past, he belongs in ancient history and should be left in the rearview mirror of American politics where he rightly now belongs. A retirement is quite in order for the good old Joe, the boy from Scranton and Amtrak riding Senator from the great State of Delaware.

However, the only issue ICHEOKU sees with such an Elizabeth Warren's headship of the ticket is that it will shut out the black minority, which is a strong support base and huge component part of the Democratic Party. This is partly why Hilary Clinton lost the presidency in 2016, because, against all advice, she refused to pick black Cory Booker as her vice presidential candidate and blacks stayed out the election because they felt they had no dog in the fight. To win, the Democratic Party must present a team that would energize black voters and make them turn out en-masse to vote. Also, if Elizabeth Warren  settles for a black male vice presidential candidate, white men will feel slighted that they were completely left out and will vote against her or stay out the election to register their anger. 

This is the only threatening issue to Elizabeth Warren's presidential candidacy as the Democratic Party has become so compartmentalized, that every constituent part of its membership is fiercely striving for a seat at the table. So, an all white ticket will not satisfy nor be acceptable to black people and Elizabeth being a minority female, cannot afford to run a two minorities team. The challenge of the Democratic Party is how to effectively balance the various competing interests on a ticket, without causing a major fractious crisis within the party. 

Kamala Harris would have been a "perfect" candidate because she checked all the markers as well, including being black; but she cannot win the primaries and her chances at defeating the president is nearly none existent. Americans are afraid of her, she has anger issues and Americans are not ready for another minority president, at least not now. ICHEOKU says provided Joe Biden is not coronated as Hillary Clinton was in 2016 and imposed on the party, it will surely be an exciting election campaign 2020 to watch and closely follow.
