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

WORDS ON MARBLE.

"Birth is agony. Life is hard. Death is cruel." - Japanese pithy.

MAGA LIVES ON: NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER!

TWITTER IS BORING WITHOUT HIS TWEETS. #RestorePresidentTrump'sTwitterHandle.


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.

HILLARY CLINTON FALLS IN LINE: ENDORSES JOE BIDEN.

ICHEOKU says the real news would have been that Hillary Clinton refused to endorse Joe Biden, not that she did what was expected of her, although much later than earlier anticipated. Many people thought that following her acerbic attacks on Bernie Sanders during the primaries and her refusal to endorse any of the women who ran in the Democratic Party primaries, that she would have since thrown her weight behind the party's establishment candidate Joe Biden and much earlier before Barack Obama did. 

That she finally came around to do it now is therefore not a big deal, especially as she is frontally vying for the vice presidential slot in the Joe Biden's promised female vice presidential candidate. She sees being Joe Biden's Vice President as the greatest  opportunity of producing a female president of the United States of America and she cannot see herself conceding that life time achievement to any other woman in America not named Hillary Clinton. So, it is game on and that was what actually precipitated her endorsement and not that she indeed cares about Joe Biden's political fortunes that much, fully away that the former Vice President is a damaged product for the United States of America presidency. 

Like her other contenders for the honor to run alongside Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton is just another schemer who is in it just for herself and who has now thrown her hat into the arena of the soon to ensue cat fight among the women of the Democratic Party on who Joe Biden should choose. Therefore, it does not move the needle either way that Hillary Clinton finally followed the party's cue and endorsed Joe Biden. Her underlying motive is selfish and she clearly has no other choice in the matter but to be seen as championing the candidate of the party, for which she could be rewarded with the vice presidential slot. 

Anyway, ICHEOKU is emphatic that her endorsement will not change anything going into the election of November 3rd, 2020. Her decision only amounts to the lining up of the same armada which President Donald John Trump sank in 2016 and will again destroy, come November 3rd, 2020. In fact ICHEOKU does not know anyone who was planning not to vote for Joe Biden who will now say because Hillary Clinton endorsed him, has changed their mind. The only downside to her endorsement is that some people who probably were planning to vote for Joe Biden, but who detest Hillary Clinton so much, will see her endorsement as a turn off and with it, they will either switch their votes or not vote at all during the election. 

As was with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's endorsement of Bernie Sanders during the last Democratic Party's primaries, Hillary Clinton's endorsement of Joe Biden might equally turn out to be the kiss of death to whatever chances Joe Biden hitherto had at being elected president of the United States of America come November 3rd, 2020. Many people strongly believed that Bernie Sanders lost the last primaries because Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez turned many people off with her crazy ideas which they considered too extreme. Hillary Clinton has also similarly turned so many off that they react to her like a do not touch poison ivy. She is horrible and so many people would rather not see her around the corridors of the White House.

Aggregated, her endorsement is not a much added value to Joe Biden's campaign, admitted it does not hurt either for the campaign that she is not opposing his candidacy. The Democratic Party is a cudgel and whip fall in line party, where conformity is strictly enforced and at the pain of being ostracized or even kicked out of the party. This is the reason no Democrat can afford to challenge the dictates of the party's hierarchy or dare to oppose the party's anointed nominee. They must do as told, unlike the Republican Party where every member is fully republican and is never told what to do nor would they listen if told. 

The Republican Party is the real Democratic Party and should be rebranded Republican Real Democratic Party because members freely air their opinions and express their viewpoints, including the right to oppose and not accept their party's presidential nominee, if they want. They also publicly criticize and chastise their party's flag bearer and many have openly called for party members to vote for the other party's candidate. But this freedom is strictly limited in the Democratic Party as there is no democracy therein because the freedom to differ or choose differently is a taboo within the Democratic Party. Every member must follow the party's dictates, fall in line and tow the party's guidelines unless they become quarantined from the party.

Anyway, regardless of Hillary Clinton's endorsement, Joe Biden is a damaged product which American people will not buy on November 3rd, 2020. His risk of loss to the American people is simply too big and uninsurable, especially at this period of great peril in the land. The coronavirus is ravaging the nation and there is also a threatening economic doomsday which only a clear eyed fighter of a president is appositely suited for. The too many wars on too many fronts demand continuity and American people will not unwisely change their horse midstream. It has never happened before and it will not happen on November 3rd, 2020 because despite his shortcomings, President Donald John Trump has proved himself to be a great champion for America. The president loves America so much that he doggedly fights for the best interest of America and the American people. On November 3rd, 2020 American people will show him that they appreciate his commitment to the America First agenda with a reelection vote for a second term.
