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.

MOOT IMPEACHMENT: CONVICTION DEAD ON ARRIVAL.

IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP IS NOW MOOT. THE ESSENCE OF IMPEACHMENT IS TO REMOVE A PRESIDENT FROM OFFICE. WHEN THE SUBJECT MATTER PRESIDENT IS NO LONGER IN OFFICE THE REASON FOR IMPEACHMENT TRIAL NO LONGER EXISTS AS HIS EXIT FROM OFFICE HAVE PREEMPTED THE EXERCISE. IT IS THEREFORE AN ABUSE OF CONGRESSIONAL POWERS TO CONTINUE WITH THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCE. CRIMES ARE PROSECUTED TO PUNISH OFFENDERS NOT JUST FOR MERE PROSECUTORIAL JUNKET. IF THERE IS NO PRESCRIBED CRIMINAL PENALTY OR IT NO LONGER EXISTS OR HAS BEEN OVERTAKEN BY EVENTS, THEN YOU DO NOT PROSECUTE. #SayNoToCongressionalOverReach.

MY PILLOW IS AN AMERICAN COMPANY TOO: SUPPORT IT.


ICHEOKU says recall when Goodyear Tires banned its employees from wearing MAGA hats in their plant in Akron Ohio and President Donald John Trump urged a boycott of their tires, how the leftist media and Democrats condemned the president and accused him of being anti American company. They argued that it is un-American to be against an American company which employs American workers and which has not shipped its manufacturing overseas to China and India. They said that such an American company should be supported and encouraged by every American for being so patriotic to keep its manufacturing in America and providing jobs for American people but not boycotted because it plays a very crucial role in growing American economy. 

Suddenly now, My Pillow, another similarly situated American company, based in American city of Minneapolis, which employs thousands of Americans, is being pilloried by the left and the Democrats who are calling for its boycott, with many distributors already yielding to their call by discontinuing carrying My Pillow products. ICHEOKU says what changed and why is it now suddenly ok to call for the boycott of an American company and its products? What is going on in America presently is inexplicable and the fact that the two positions were attained within less than six months of each other is indeed really disturbing. America is not being fairly served by this shifty standards as it is against a united front and smacks of divisiveness which is a threat to America's overall interest. #StopTheBoycottOfMyPillow.

Friday, January 29, 2021

ICHEOKU says Liz Cheney has gone rogue, get her out of leadership position of the Republican Party. She is now a female version of Mitt Romney and cannot be trusted to do right by the party's base. She is no longer good for party's cohesion.  It is time to go Liz Cheney. #ResignOrBeFired.

LIZ CHENEY NEEDS TO GO AND NOW.

ICHEOKU says it does not make sense that someone will be leading a political party's majority when she does not represent their political viewpoint, ideology and philosophy. Only ten Republican members of the House sided with her in her infamous repudiation of President Donald John Trump amongst the over 200 Republican members of the House of Representatives. Also only 5 Republican Senators out of 50 Republican Senators voted in her direction to also antagonize the president. 

Therefore where then lies her authority to continue to lead the party when she represents but a minuscule percentage of members with her rebellious few. She has lost the moral authority to continue leading the party and having lost the confidence of the Caucus, her seat let another take. She should do the right thing and resign now, failing which, she must be forced out. She knew the risk involved of losing her privileged leadership position when she took that demonic step to give her middle finger to the 75 million strong MAGA nation who support the president and now she must pay the price for her betrayal and disloyalty. If Kevin McCarthy does not want to fire her, may be it is about time too, Kevin McCarthy is also forced to resign his leadership of the party. 

Such uncompromisingly loyalty to the party is laid in stone and every politician understands that the only loyalty in a party goes to the leader, hence any denigrate politician such as Lindy Cheney must be forced on her sword otherwise a bad precedent will be set where a leader can lead people without their consent and support. Any such attempt to lead arbitrarily will amount to  autocracy but fortunately, America is still a democracy and the people still command their leaders. Mitt Romney is already enough pain in the butt for the party but the party cannot and must not become a laboratory for the breeding of too many Mitt Romneys including a female version of him as represented in Liz Cheney. 

Over 99.5% of Republicans still support President Donald John Trump and any Republican politician, particularly one in any leadership position in the party, who disagrees with the majority of the party must throw in the towel as the party is not big enough to accommodate such rascal. Enough of the rascality and it is time to curb the excesses of some politicians who do not understand the essence of party politics and whose personal individual interest is a threat to one party unity. That Mitt Romney has not been kicked out of the Republican Party is still a surprise after he publicly campaigned and voted against the president; and now it is the woman from Wyoming that will constitute herself into a boil in the butt. #TimeToGoLindyCheney.

IMPEACHMENT TRIAL: DEMOCRATS STACK THE ODDS AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP

DEMOCRATS ACCUSED THE PRESIDENT OF A CRIME. DEMOCRATS IMPEACHED THE PRESIDENT FOR THE CRIME. DEMOCRATS DID NOT ALLOW THE PRESIDENT TO DEFEND HIMSELF NOR DID THEY CALL ANY WITNESS. DEMOCRATS INDICTED THE PRESIDENT AND SENT THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT TO THE SENATE. DEMOCRATS ARE PROSECUTING THE PRESIDENT AND A DEMOCRAT IS THE PRESIDING JUDGE. NOW WHAT THIRD WORLD COUNTRY AGAIN IS THIS HAPPENING? AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN NO LONGER RECOGNIZE THEIR COUNTRY AS IT IS NO LONGER A PLACE WHERE DUE PROCESS AND FAIR HEARING ARE PART OF THE ADJUDICATIVE PROCESS. EVEN THOUGH THE SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE HAD PROMISED FAIRNESS BUT THE APPEARANCE DEFINITELY SHOWS OTHERWISE. IT IS SAD. #SayNoToUnjustImpeachment. 

TRUST BUT FIRST VERIFY: PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

ICHEOKU says there was a time when his assurances would have weighted enough to sign off on his judgeship of the impeachment trial, but not any more; especially not now that the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party have taken the party hostage and their will rules. His is a case where "trust but first verify" is not even sufficient to give him a benefit of the doubt as such a partisan who has been a fierce Democratic Senator since 1975 cannot suddenly shade his partisanship and be fair to President Donald John Trump who the Democrats hate with passion. America also saw his unrepentant Democratic Party bias during the Justice Brett Kavanaugh's Senate confirmation hearing and you ask yourself, why did he even agree to sit over such a bogus impeachment in the first place, fully aware that it is an aberration to try a president who has served out his term in office. 

Why did the Democratic Party not select an Independent Senator to preside instead of such an arch democrat, at least it would have given the trial some coloration of impartiality. But no, it is a man who has been a "severe" party loyalist and have always voted in tandem with party dictates since 1975 when he first became a senator. ICHEOKU says anyone trusting that Senate President Pro Tempore Patrick Joseph Leahy is capable of being fair in the matter of President Donald John Trump's impeachment trial might as well believe that a leopard is capable of changing its spots or that a mice can be be fairly judged by a jury of wild cats. But be that as it may, how about the appearance of impropriety since fairness demands that justice must not only be done but must also be seen to be done. #SayNoToUnjustImpeachment.

MITT ROMNEY WILL NEVER BE ELECTED PRESIDENT NO MATTER HIS TRUMP PHOBIA.

ICHEOKU says he can hate all he wants but his hatred cannot and will never erase the fact that 45th is a reality and that he can never be admitted to the membership of that special elite few who called the White House home. Mitt Romney is politically damaged beyond repair that winning a national election will never materialize. A matter made worse by his demonic attacks on President Donald John Trump which have hammered the final nail on his coffin, presidentially, that is. It is sad what asinine hatred could turn a person into, especially one borne out of mere jealousy and not anything wrong which the president did to him. A very irrational man.

President Donald John Trump endorsed Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential run and even contributed to his election campaign funds. President Donald John Trump endorsed his senatorial run in Utah and President Donald John Trump was magnanimous to even consider Mitt Romney for Secretary of State position but considered him not a good fit after numerous interviews and interactions. Yet despite all these warmth gestures, Mitt Romney continues to antagonize the president, thus biting the finger that fed him. Today, he voted for the impeachment trial of the president to proceed despite there being no basis for the impeachment since the president is no longer in office nor committed the crime of inciting insurrection which the Democrats accused him of. 

Anyway, MAGA nation and other conservative Republicans have seen Mitt Romney for what he is and is not who he fakes to be, a good christian although people question whether Mormonism is even of Christ. He is not even a conservative talkless of being a severe conservative as he once proclaimed himself to be. Mitt Romney will never be allowed to fly the Democratic Party's presidential flag and hopefully, Republicans will never make the mistake of ever trusting him again with their's either. To the mormon demon, Americans will never forgive him nor forget his irrational jealousy and hatred of President Donald John Trump and that is the graveyard of his presidential ambition. Rest It In Peace, Mr Penguin.

IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO BE IMPARTIAL.


Once a president always a president. Senator Patrick Leahy has no authority under a "non president" waiver for impeachment after office to preside over the impeachment trial of President Donald John Trump because the president does not fall under a "non president" category of persons. He remains a president forever. The waiver is meant for those other officials below the president who may have committed acts of corruption in office and wanted to evade prosecution by resigning their office. 

The purpose of a president's impeachment is to end his presidency forthwith and stop him from continuing in office which purpose is defeated once a president is no longer in office. It is an aberration for a president who is no longer in office to be subjected to an impeachment trial for acts done while in office and for which there is no longer his existing presidency to remove him from. Congress lost that fight when the president completed his term of office and left because  impeachment is meant to remove a president from office not to punish him thereafter. The matter of impeachment of President Donald John Trump is therefore moot. 

Further, being a member of the charging party, Patrick Leahy is a party adverse to the president and cannot seat in judgment over President Donald John Trump because he cannot guarantee the president a fair trial. Democrats cannot be the judge, the jury and the executioner in the matter of impeachment of the president. They raised the issue against the president, they indicted the president, they are pursuing a trial of the president, they will prosecute the president by themselves and a Democrat is the chief presiding officer or judge. 

It is a constitutional violation of the president's due process rights to fair hearing that the same Democratic Party accused the president of a crime, indicted the president for the crime, will prosecute the president for the crime and will also seat in judgment over the president for the same crime. The Supreme Court should intervene as a matter of constitutional imperative to end the charade of trying a president who is no longer in office for an act done during his presidency for which impeachment is no longer an available post presidency remedy or punishment. Simply an overreach. 


IMPEACHMENT TRIAL IS AN OVERREACH: THE MATTER IS MOOT.

ICHEOKU says if the planned impeachment trial of President Donald John Trump will be presided over by the Senate's pro tempore, who usually seats over non presidents' impeachment trials, what again is the former president being tried for? For something which he allegedly did while still in office as a president and if, why is he now being subsumed under a "non president" status just for the purpose of forcing him under the Senate pro tempore authority. Does presidential immunity no longer cover "crimes" and other acts done by a president while in office? How can the president be tried as a "non president" for what he did as president and when crimes are punished only if the matter was a crime y when the act was done. So, it is either the president is president and therefore cannot come under the Senate pro temper's authority or whatever alleged crime he committed while in office is presidentially privileged. 

Moreso, the president did not resign in order to evade prosecution. No, he duly completed his term which was covered by his presidential immunity. Unlike the 1876 case of Secretary of War Belknap' impeachment trial where the Secretary resigned in order to evade prosecution, President Donald John Trump did not take any overt act such as resignation to avoid prosecution, he served out his term and should have been prosecuted while still in office as impeachment of a president provided, which failure has now made the matter moot. Also a member of the impeachment party cannot sit in judgment over the impeachment trial proceeding as a party to a case cannot be the judge, prosecutor and executioner in the interest of due process and fairness. Patrick Leahy cannot be impartial no matter the pretense and how will he eventually vote when it comes to voting to convict or acquit the president. 

ICHEOKU says does not really know why the Republican Party is tagging along with the Democratic Party's impeachment effort against President Donald John Trump as they should have since shut it down as overreaching.  President Donald John Trump is not a "non president" for the purposes of falling within a Senate pro tempore's adjudicative impeachment authority over non presidents because once a president always a president. The Democrats are just fishing and reaching, trying to claw through to anything just to get their wish. It does not make sense and it should have been stopped by the Republicans, except that they are apparently in concert with the forces ganging up to stop President Donald John Trump's possible come back in 2024. It is about time the Supreme Court is approached to stop the anomaly and put an end to the outrageous and outlandish overreach taking place in the United States Congress. Enough of the persecution.

BACK AND FORTH EXECUTIVE ORDERS BASED POLICY DIRECTIVE NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA.

ICHEOKU says America is gradually turning into a third world country where contracts are not respected and could be so easily canceled on the whim of a new president who wants to rubbish his predecessor's achievements. What happened to government being a continuity and why would a new administration be referred to as an incoming administration when they could so easily severe every umbilical cord tethering it to the government which they succeeded. How can any foreign country or business concern sincerely enter into contract with America when there are no guarantees that it will be respected by a successor administration. How could businesses invest handsomely in America when their business could be laid to waste by a new administration? 

Where does such a new government on a revenge mission expect countries of the world entering into agreements with America and businesses making investments in America to find the confidence that their projects will survive and contracts entered into honored. That what they have toiled for in the preceding four years will not be so cavalierly ruined by a new president who just took office. Why must American policy directive be based on who is in the White House instead of what is in the best for America. What then is the relevance of Congress if they cannot legislate and immunize some of these policies from the adversarial interference of successor president who hates his predecessor so much that he is willing to erase all his policy accomplishments with just a stroke of the pen fashioned as executive orders. 

The reason such orders are prevalent in America is because Congress have technically abdicated its duty to make laws for the country and have somewhat become so partisan that almost nothing is accomplished during their seatings. How could a successor government cancel huge employment projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline and Southern border wall just because of partisan politics while disregarding the acute unemployment situation in the country. A country is bleeding over 15 million jobs and a new government that should be primarily concerned and occupied with how to reduce the unemployment numbers is rather busy killing already existing jobs and adding to the unemployment nightmare. What rational reason justifies increasing the unemployment numbers and adding to the destitution; yet some people do not see anything awful in it just because it plays well to their partisan political interest, the satisfaction of some of their base. 

Any country that will always change its policy every four years depending on who is in the White House does not make for a stable policy direction and it must be very discomforting to its foreign partners as well as the business community. How about the investments Canada made in the Keystone XL pipeline project? How about the extensive work already done in completed hundreds of miles of pipeline laid so far? How about the payments already made to purchase private real properties where some of the pipe line will pass through? How about businesses that made huge investments in pipes manufacturing, cement, trucks, steal and other associated materials necessary for executing the pipeline project. How about contracts that are already signed with hefty penalties in case of a breach. All these sectors employed hundreds if not thousands of workers and with just a stroke of pen, everything is now washed away. Really? 

Is this how a country that prides itself as a bastion of civilized behavior supposed to act? Ruthless and heartless and without any modicum of concern about thousands of livelihoods disrupted as a result of the senseless executive order. How about the Southern border wall that runs several hundreds of miles? Investments made in machinery, steel bars, concrete, cement and other logistics involved in prosecuting the project. How about the thousands of workers engaged in the construction of the border wall who are now rendered jobless just because of political difference between the preceding government and the succeeding government. Those workers cross party lines but the new government just did what they did to spite the government which it succeeded without caring a hoot about the damaging effect of their action on American families. 

Is this how a country competing against China and fighting for their economic life behaves. Is this how America plans to maintain their economic dominance over China, when such disruptions to economic engagements and outputs which are so easily carried out with a stroke of the pen sets it back. When China is busy building, America is busy tearing down but still wants the world to believe that somehow they are the number economy in the world and you ask yourself, if this is true, for how much longer going forward will America maintain the position? 

Is anybody still in doubt why China is eating America's lunch? It is such disruptions to American economic interests by successive governments, made just to satisfy its political base which they frequently pander to primarily without prioritizing America's overall best interest, that causes the bleeding. Two huge projects just went bust just like that because it is what the far left liberal anarchists want. Anybody who is not miffed at the two senseless executive orders of the new administration does not have America's interest at heart. At least, the government should have allowed the contracts already awarded to be completed and that way buy some time for its job creation effort and also not waste resources needlessly by rendering already procured materials redundant. This two projects should have been above and beyond partisan party politics, period.

How can canceling and redirecting policies every four years, depending on who is in the White House, help bring succor and peace of the mind to any country or business dealing with America? How can such u-turn shifting of policies give confidence to any country looking for a concrete and determined relationship ties with America? How does America want the rest of the world to feel about it's mercurial policy directives which fluctuates so often and which now somewhat portrays America as a not serious bankable country but as shifty as quicksilver. Must everything a preceding president did be canceled cache-blanc just because of political differences. 

Nothing justifies the elimination of American jobs at a time when unemployment is biting hard, forcing more families to now join the long list of families already suffering from lack of job, hunger and shelterless. The Keystone XL pipeline and Southern border wall projects cancelation was a big mistake, ill advised and ill timed; they should have been avoided. ICHEOKU says if executive orders cannot be abolished completely, it should somehow be regulated so that issues such as jobs for American workers could become immune from them and are no longer sacrificed with the signing of a presidential signature. It simply does not make sense.

JOBS KILLING EXECUTIVE ORDERS: NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA'S UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM.

ICHEOKU says he said that job loses are mounting, yet he canceled two major contracts that provided jobs for more than 20,000 American workers. Keystone XL pipeline and the Southern border wall projects gainfully employed thousands of American workers until a thoughtless executive order laid their jobs to waste, sending thousands of Americans into an otherwise avoidable unemployment market. Also raising the minimum wage to $15 during this dire economic problem in the country will force many employers to shave off thousands of employees as simply unaffordable and too expensive cost of doing business. 

ICHEOKU says the new administration is turning out to be jobs-killing virus instead of jobs-creating worker bee trying to create jobs for the over 15 million unemployed American workers who lost their jobs due to the Coronavirus pandemic. If they cannot make the job situation better why make it worse, adding to the unemployment pool by destroying already existing jobs. It is not a good policy direction for the country, especially not at this time of great peril in the land. Why rush to cancel these projects now? If  these are signs of things to come, then like Houston, America, we have some problem. It is sad.

INSTALLATION IS NOT INAUGURATION: ILLEGITIMACY STILL SUBSISTS.

ICHEOKU says an installation is different and not synonymous with an inauguration as his  presidency is still being questioned by millions of American people who strongly believe that it was an outcome of a stolen election. American people did not turn out to witness its inception and there is no celebration in the country about it either, largely because he lacks the consent of the governed as it is without their majority votes. American flags, no matter how many of them were festooned and displayed are not American people; flags did not vote in the last election, American people did and they know who they voted for. So the lack of enthusiasm is a clear testament of what actually happened and it led to the improvisation of flags to cover up the apathy which would have attended the installation. What took place is not an inauguration of a president, rather it is an installation of a president by the powers that be which overrode the will of American people who elected a different president than the one installed yesterday. 

A contested election should at least have been fully canvassed in order to bestow legitimacy on the eventual winner. But when every effort made to prove that the election was fraudulent was rebuffed, sabotaged and frustrated, then it leads to only one conclusion, the confirmation of the feared. The fear that whole process was rigged for a particular outcome and that the obstruction was made to prevent the evidence from coming to light. If they had nothing to hide, why prevent the evidence from being presented and their tentacles were so widely spread that every sphere of American government was involved in burying the evidence. But fortunately, American people knew better and that the president they voted for was not the one who was installed into office yesterday. 

Swearing in of a president does not necessarily confer legitimacy on the president, admitted it gives him the power of the office. His perception in the eyes of American people will forever  remains as one who made himself available to be used by the Deep State to thwart the wishes of the people. He will forever be in the eyes of American people an impostor who is occupying an office to which he did not rightly win. Like despots all over the world who periodically organize swearing in ceremonies at the beginning of assumed fresh terms has shown, swearing in is just what it is swearing in and what took place in Washington DC yesterday is not any different. Yes he has been installed as president but inside his heart, he knows exactly what happened and how he became the preferred candidate of the Deep State. 

Majority of Americans legal voters who actually participated and legally voted in the last election, still ask the question what possible roadmap led to Joe Biden's supposed election "victory?" It was definitely not his popularity; not the effort he put in the campaign; not his charm offensive; not his magnetic ability to draw crowds nor did he have any follower-ship that was passionately invested in his successful campaign outcome an dow course he does not possess the oratorial prowess that endear leaders to the people. He also refused to answer policy questions during the campaign and so could not have convinced anyone with stellar policy direction in which he planned to take the country that would have made them sold. He lost Iowa and New Hampshire in the Democratic Party's primaries and was struggling at number 8 position before the powers that be foist him on the Democratic Party as their presidential candidate. 

Suddenly these people and their Deep Staters as well as their media minions want American people to believe that they voted for open borders, to defund the police, to pack the courts, to kill oil and gas industry, to destroy jobs through regulations, to go new green deal on America, to jettison America First, to rejoin Paris Climate accord, to reestablish Iran nuclear deal, to cancel Jerusalem and renounce Israel, that Pennsylvanians voted for to abolish fracking and kill jobs in their State, that American people hate their country so much that they voted for a candidate who loves other countries more than his own country and that they voted for tax hikes. These were some of the issues that were involved in the last election campaign for which both candidates positions were know, admitted the installed president was coy about addressing some of them directly but his body language sold his position out anyway. 

For the first time in history of American presidential election voting counting, counting of votes were arbitrarily stopped midway into the counting and the election winner was not declared on election night; yet America has an appointed day for election not appointed weeks. For the first also, Arizona State election result was called first before Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania and you wonder how that could be possible the tie zones considered and unlike long established pattern. For the first time in history too a candidate who won Florida, Iowa and Ohio ended up not winning the election but they want us to accept that as possible? For the first time in American history a candidate who was leading significantly until 10 pm on election night ended up losing all the lead and then magically lost the election to the other candidate who was far behind before the counting of votes was stopped. 

These are some of the concerns which 75 million American people have about the outcome of the last election and they wanted to challenge it but were resisted and rebuffed. You wonder why the obstruction if there was nothing to hide. As for those who argue that the installed candidate got more votes, about 7 million more votes which difference came largely from only California, why did they not allow the evidence of the fraud to be properly canvassed instead of shutting off anyone who had something to say contrary to their narrative. All they would have done to ensure acceptability was to allow a few days, not intimidate the lawyers engaged to do the work and not also intimidate judges and encourage a limited forensic vetting of what took place. They accommodated a four years protest of the 2016 election including an investigation of the election but would not tolerate a similar extension of liberty to those who protested the 2020 election.

Anyway, as it appears now, the deed is done; the steal can no longer be stopped as they have successfully installed their preferred candidate, but he is definitely not the candidate who American people actually chose and voted for. They said to prove that the election was stolen and also prevented the proving that the election was in fact stolen. How then did they expect you to prove it when they did not allow you to prove it. They threatened and blackmailed hired election lawyers who wanted to in fact prove what happened. They threatened violence should their objective not be realized and signed off on. They couldn't stand to be defeated again and for the third time after the Russian Collusion and Ukrainian phone call previous attempts to remove the president failed. To them it was a do or die effort and they were prepared to destroy America rather not have their way and their intimidation have succeeded. All we can now do is to wish them well and hope for a sort of vindication some day. ICHEOKU says wishes the new administration best of luck but it is sad that their end have justified their means. 

THROWING THE BABY AND THE BATH WATER AWAY IS NOT A GOOD MOVE. TO CANCEL THE PIPELINE XL AND BORDER WALL PROJECTS IN THIS ACUTE UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION IN AMERICA IS A WRONG POLICY MOVE. NOW MORE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL BE THROWN INTO UNEMPLOYMENT, THUS EXACERBATING JOBLESSNESS AND ECONOMIC HARDSHIP. COULD HAVE WAITED.

MIKE PENCE DOES NOT HAVE THE LUXURY.

Unlike Mitch McConnell who is nearing his end, politically and in being, Mike Pence still has long years ahead of him and must thread carefully not to piss off MAGA family. He must therefore watch his current attempt to distance himself from the MAGA leader and isolate himself from whatever travails he thinks President Donald John Trump is currently going through. The fight for an honest election in America was for both of them to wage, but now he is acting as if it was only the president who it mattered to most. Please Mike Pence, don't thread on MAGA family because if you do you will be sorry. You will regret it if they abandon you when you need them in your future political endeavors and aspirations. Mitch McConnell can afford to get away with his disparagement because he is on his last rung of life and could care less if he burn down the house which conservatives built as he no longer needs to shelter therein any longer. #TheTurtleDisappointed. 


PRESIDENT TRUMP BIDS HIS FAREWELL: HE WILL BE MISSED.

"My fellow Americans: Four years ago, we launched a great national effort to rebuild our country, to renew its spirit, and to restore the allegiance of this government to its citizens. In short, we embarked on a mission to make America great again — for all Americans.

As I conclude my term as the 45th President of the United States, I stand before you truly proud of what we have achieved together. We did what we came here to do — and so much more.

This week, we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous. We extend our best wishes, and we also want them to have luck — a very important word.

I’d like to begin by thanking just a few of the amazing people who made our remarkable journey possible.

First, let me express my overwhelming gratitude for the love and support of our spectacular First Lady, Melania. Let me also share my deepest appreciation to my daughter Ivanka, my son-in-law Jared, and to Barron, Don, Eric, Tiffany, and Lara. You fill my world with light and with joy.

I also want to thank Vice President Mike Pence, his wonderful wife Karen, and the entire Pence family.

Thank you as well to my Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows; the dedicated members of the White House Staff and the Cabinet; and all the incredible people across our administration who poured out their heart and soul to fight for America.

I also want to take a moment to thank a truly exceptional group of people: the United States Secret Service. My family and I will forever be in your debt. My profound gratitude as well to everyone in the White House Military Office, the teams of Marine One and Air Force One, every member of the Armed Forces, and state and local law enforcement all across our country.

Most of all, I want to thank the American people. To serve as your President has been an honor beyond description. Thank you for this extraordinary privilege. And that’s what it is — a great privilege and a great honor.

We must never forget that while Americans will always have our disagreements, we are a nation of incredible, decent, faithful, and peace-loving citizens who all want our country to thrive and flourish and be very, very successful and good. We are a truly magnificent nation.

All Americans were horrified by the assault on our Capitol. Political violence is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans. It can never be tolerated.

Now more than ever, we must unify around our shared values and rise above the partisan rancor, and forge our common destiny.

Four years ago, I came to Washington as the only true outsider ever to win the presidency. I had not spent my career as a politician, but as a builder looking at open skylines and imagining infinite possibilities. I ran for President because I knew there were towering new summits for America just waiting to be scaled. I knew the potential for our nation was boundless as long as we put America first.

So I left behind my former life and stepped into a very difficult arena, but an arena nevertheless, with all sorts of potential if properly done. America had given me so much, and I wanted to give something back.

Together with millions of hardworking patriots across this land, we built the greatest political movement in the history of our country. We also built the greatest economy in the history of the world. It was about “America First” because we all wanted to make America great again. We restored the principle that a nation exists to serve its citizens. Our agenda was not about right or left, it wasn’t about Republican or Democrat, but about the good of a nation, and that means the whole nation.

With the support and prayers of the American people, we achieved more than anyone thought possible. Nobody thought we could even come close.

We passed the largest package of tax cuts and reforms in American history. We slashed more job-killing regulations than any administration had ever done before. We fixed our broken trade deals, withdrew from the horrible Trans-Pacific Partnership and the impossible Paris Climate Accord, renegotiated the one-sided South Korea deal, and we replaced NAFTA with the groundbreaking USMCA — that’s Mexico and Canada — a deal that’s worked out very, very well.

Also, and very importantly, we imposed historic and monumental tariffs on China; made a great new deal with China. But before the ink was even dry, we and the whole world got hit with the China virus. Our trade relationship was rapidly changing, billions and billions of dollars were pouring into the U.S., but the virus forced us to go in a different direction.

The whole world suffered, but America outperformed other countries economically because of our incredible economy and the economy that we built. Without the foundations and footings, it wouldn’t have worked out this way. We wouldn’t have some of the best numbers we’ve ever had.

We also unlocked our energy resources and became the world’s number-one producer of oil and natural gas by far. Powered by these policies, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world. We reignited America’s job creation and achieved record-low unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women — almost everyone.

Incomes soared, wages boomed, the American Dream was restored, and millions were lifted from poverty in just a few short years. It was a miracle. The stock market set one record after another, with 148 stock market highs during this short period of time, and boosted the retirements and pensions of hardworking citizens all across our nation. 401(k)s are at a level they’ve never been at before. We’ve never seen numbers like we’ve seen, and that’s before the pandemic and after the pandemic.

We rebuilt the American manufacturing base, opened up thousands of new factories, and brought back the beautiful phrase: “Made in the USA.”

To make life better for working families, we doubled the child tax credit and signed the largest-ever expansion of funding for childcare and development. We joined with the private sector to secure commitments to train more than 16 million American workers for the jobs of tomorrow.

When our nation was hit with the terrible pandemic, we produced not one, but two vaccines with record-breaking speed, and more will quickly follow. They said it couldn’t be done but we did it. They call it a “medical miracle,” and that’s what they’re calling it right now: a “medical miracle.”

Another administration would have taken 3, 4, 5, maybe even up to 10 years to develop a vaccine. We did in nine months.

We grieve for every life lost, and we pledge in their memory to wipe out this horrible pandemic once and for all.

When the virus took its brutal toll on the world’s economy, we launched the fastest economic recovery our country has ever seen. We passed nearly $4 trillion in economic relief, saved or supported over 50 million jobs, and slashed the unemployment rate in half. These are numbers that our country has never seen before.

We created choice and transparency in healthcare, stood up to big pharma in so many ways, but especially in our effort to get favored-nations clauses added, which will give us the lowest prescription drug prices anywhere in the world.

We passed VA Choice, VA Accountability, Right to Try, and landmark criminal justice reform.

We confirmed three new justices of the United States Supreme Court. We appointed nearly 300 federal judges to interpret our Constitution as written.

For years, the American people pleaded with Washington to finally secure the nation’s borders. I am pleased to say we answered that plea and achieved the most secure border in U.S. history. We have given our brave border agents and heroic ICE officers the tools they need to do their jobs better than they have ever done before, and to enforce our laws and keep America safe.

We proudly leave the next administration with the strongest and most robust border security measures ever put into place. This includes historic agreements with Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, along with more than 450 miles of powerful new wall.

We restored American strength at home and American leadership abroad. The world respects us again. Please don’t lose that respect.

We reclaimed our sovereignty by standing up for America at the United Nations and withdrawing from the one-sided global deals that never served our interests. And NATO countries are now paying hundreds of billions of dollars more than when I arrived just a few years ago. It was very unfair. We were paying the cost for the world. Now the world is helping us.

And perhaps most importantly of all, with nearly $3 trillion, we fully rebuilt the American military — all made in the USA. We launched the first new branch of the United States Armed Forces in 75 years: the Space Force. And last spring, I stood at Kennedy Space Center in Florida and watched as American astronauts returned to space on American rockets for the first time in many, many years.

We revitalized our alliances and rallied the nations of the world to stand up to China like never before.

We obliterated the ISIS caliphate and ended the wretched life of its founder and leader, al Baghdadi. We stood up to the oppressive Iranian regime and killed the world’s top terrorist, Iranian butcher Qasem Soleimani.

We recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

As a result of our bold diplomacy and principled realism, we achieved a series of historic peace deals in the Middle East. Nobody believed it could happen. The Abraham Accords opened the doors to a future of peace and harmony, not violence and bloodshed. It is the dawn of a new Middle East, and we are bringing our soldiers home.

I am especially proud to be the first President in decades who has started no new wars.

Above all, we have reasserted the sacred idea that, in America, the government answers to the people. Our guiding light, our North Star, our unwavering conviction has been that we are here to serve the noble everyday citizens of America. Our allegiance is not to the special interests, corporations, or global entities; it’s to our children, our citizens, and to our nation itself.

As President, my top priority, my constant concern, has always been the best interests of American workers and American families. I did not seek the easiest course; by far, it was actually the most difficult. I did not seek the path that would get the least criticism. I took on the tough battles, the hardest fights, the most difficult choices because that’s what you elected me to do. Your needs were my first and last unyielding focus.

This, I hope, will be our greatest legacy: Together, we put the American people back in charge of our country. We restored self-government. We restored the idea that in America no one is forgotten, because everyone matters and everyone has a voice. We fought for the principle that every citizen is entitled to equal dignity, equal treatment, and equal rights because we are all made equal by God. Everyone is entitled to be treated with respect, to have their voice heard, and to have their government listen. You are loyal to your country, and my administration was always loyal to you.

We worked to build a country in which every citizen could find a great job and support their wonderful families. We fought for the communities where every American could be safe and schools where every child could learn. We promoted a culture where our laws would be upheld, our heroes honored, our history preserved, and law-abiding citizens are never taken for granted. Americans should take tremendous satisfaction in all that we have achieved together. It’s incredible.

Now, as I leave the White House, I have been reflecting on the dangers that threaten the priceless inheritance we all share. As the world’s most powerful nation, America faces constant threats and challenges from abroad. But the greatest danger we face is a loss of confidence in ourselves, a loss of confidence in our national greatness. A nation is only as strong as its spirit. We are only as dynamic as our pride. We are only as vibrant as the faith that beats in the hearts of our people.

No nation can long thrive that loses faith in its own values, history, and heroes, for these are the very sources of our unity and our vitality.

What has always allowed America to prevail and triumph over the great challenges of the past has been an unyielding and unashamed conviction in the nobility of our country and its unique purpose in history. We must never lose this conviction. We must never forsake our belief in America.

The key to national greatness lies in sustaining and instilling our shared national identity. That means focusing on what we have in common: the heritage that we all share.

At the center of this heritage is also a robust belief in free expression, free speech, and open debate. Only if we forget who we are, and how we got here, could we ever allow political censorship and blacklisting to take place in America. It’s not even thinkable. Shutting down free and open debate violates our core values and most enduring traditions.
In America, we don’t insist on absolute conformity or enforce rigid orthodoxies and punitive speech codes. We just don’t do that. America is not a timid nation of tame souls who need to be sheltered and protected from those with whom we disagree. That’s not who we are. It will never be who we are.

For nearly 250 years, in the face of every challenge, Americans have always summoned our unmatched courage, confidence, and fierce independence. These are the miraculous traits that once led millions of everyday citizens to set out across a wild continent and carve out a new life in the great West. It was the same profound love of our God-given freedom that willed our soldiers into battle and our astronauts into space.

As I think back on the past four years, one image rises in my mind above all others. Whenever I traveled all along the motorcade route, there were thousands and thousands of people. They came out with their families so that they could stand as we passed, and proudly wave our great American flag. It never failed to deeply move me. I knew that they did not just come out to show their support of me; they came out to show me their support and love for our country.

This is a republic of proud citizens who are united by our common conviction that America is the greatest nation in all of history. We are, and must always be, a land of hope, of light, and of glory to all the world. This is the precious inheritance that we must safeguard at every single turn.

For the past four years, I have worked to do just that. From a great hall of Muslim leaders in Riyadh to a great square of Polish people in Warsaw; from the floor of the Korean Assembly to the podium at the United Nations General Assembly; and from the Forbidden City in Beijing to the shadow of Mount Rushmore, I fought for you, I fought for your family, I fought for our country. Above all, I fought for America and all it stands for — and that is safe, strong, proud, and free.

Now, as I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning. There’s never been anything like it. The belief that a nation must serve its citizens will not dwindle but instead only grow stronger by the day.

As long as the American people hold in their hearts deep and devoted love of country, then there is nothing that this nation cannot achieve. Our communities will flourish. Our people will be prosperous. Our traditions will be cherished. Our faith will be strong. And our future will be brighter than ever before.

I go from this majestic place with a loyal and joyful heart, an optimistic spirit, and a supreme confidence that for our country and for our children, the best is yet to come.

Thank you, and farewell. God bless you. God bless the United States of America." - President Donald John Trump, The 45th.




AMERICA FIRST IS A GOOD POLICY BECAUSE CHARITY BEGINS FROM HOME. YOU CANNOT LOVE SOMEONE ELSE MORE THAN YOU LOVE YOURSELF; SO, COUNTRY FIRST. FEED YOUR CHILD  BEFORE YOU FEED A STRANGER. #RescueAmericanNeedyAndHomeless. 


FONNEWS GONE ROGUE.

FOX NEWS REFUSED TO PLAY THE PRESIDENT'S FAREWELL ADDRESS. ROGER AILES MUST BE TURNING IN HIS GRAVE AT THE LOW THE STATION HAS DESCENDED. CHANGE THE CHANNEL. #TuneFoxNewsOff. 

THE SWAMP PREVAILED: IT IS SAD.

THE SWAMP SURVIVED THE DRAIN AND DROWNED THE DRAINER. REVAMPED, SWAMP CREATURES WILL RECONSTITUTE TO CONTINUE THEIR FEEDING FRENZY. IT IS SAD. 

MITCH MCCONNELL: A SHOCKINGLY DISINGENUOUS ATTACK OF THE PRESIDENT.

ICHEOKU says one of the mistakes President Donald John Trump made following his 2017 inauguration was not forcing out the leadership of the party in the Congress. He would have removed both Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan and replaced them with his own trusted people. But he allowed them to stay on in the interest of party unity and both men have proven their true colors. Ryan, was in not allowing any of the president's agenda to come to fruition and now McConnell, for driving in the final Brutus stab, accusing the president of provoking the Capitol melee. 

Who did Mitch McConnell blame for provoking the attack on him and his wife when they were went out for dinner in Lexington in 2018? Was it Congresswoman Maxine Watters who had urged Democrats's foot soldiers to confront any Trump's supporter wherever they see them? Who did Mitch McConnell blame as provoking the attack on then White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders when she was refused dinner at a Virginia restaurant? Was it Hillary Clinton and her band of Russian Collusion propagandists for their false allegation that the president colluded with Putin to steal the election? Who did Mitch McConnell blame for provoking the mayhem that descended on American cities last summer? Was it Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer for their acerbic rhetorics, with the former referring to the president as an impostor and the later threatening Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh. 

But no, it is attacking the president that is his specialty and priority as he blames him for "provoking" a mob action without any evidence in support. Meanwhile his reelection was facilitated by the president and many of those people he now refers to as mob and he gladly welcomed their support when it mattered to him most. Now he readily threw them under the bus just to curry favor as they are refiling the Washington DC swamp which was being drained until now. It is sad that the leadership of the Republican Party does not give a damn or care a hoot about their base and to so disparage the president in this manner, publicly accusing him of provoking the Capitol melee without any evidence, is the lowest of the low any leader of the Republican Party could go. Why are these people so unthinking believing that their credentials as Washington DC swamp dwellers is better than loyalty to their party base. It is sad.

 GRANT THEM PARDON. 

CAPITOL MELEE EXUBERANT MAGA. DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME AFTER DISMISSIVELY REFERRING IT  AS SOME KNUCKLE HEADS DID SOMETHING.


IT IS WRONG TO IMPUT DISLOYALTY ON MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD.


ICHEOKU says with the experience of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi of India in 1984 when her Sikh bodyguards assassinated her, infusing strange ideas in the heads of security agents especially members of the military is always ill advised. Democrats erred in suggesting that some members of the National Guard could go rogue and do harm to Joe Biden. By so saying, even those who never thought about such possibility nor entertained such an idea are possibly now churning that in their mind, afterall we all humans and we do incredible things once the idea has been implanted. Also, even where these honorable volunteers in uniform don't want to do so and never thought about such, they are now  struggling and wondering why such distrust could be levied against them. 
Everything must not be about politics or scoring a cheap political point, no matter how repugnant; politicians should always weigh their utterances before spitting them out. These politicians who conceive such dastard possibility stand condemned and should be condemned for creating doubt about the loyalty of American soldiers. These are people trained and equipped to carry out assigned duties in defense and protection of the country and its citizens. They voluntarily take up the assignment, prepared to pay the ultimate price if need be; yet some unappreciative politicians are now subjecting them to such heinous character assassination. It is not good and it is condemnable and should be condemned by all regardless of their partisan politics. 
ICHEOKU says by citing the two examples above acknowledges that such a thing do happen; but what is wrong here is the planting of the idea in American soldiers, especially with the current tension in the nation. Such is very dangerous and could lead to some unintended detrimental consequences and should not have ever been uttered in the first place. It is wrong to insinuate or suggest that America soldiers could go rogue and do harm to Joe Biden and the putting the idea in them is worse than anything ever said during this trying moment in American history. What if a Timothy McVeigh in camouflaged is lurking around wondering what else to do and suddenly is handed this idea? What if he would have just nursed his hurt feeling from the election but now decides to exploit such idea having concluded that he or she has nothing to lose. 
Democrats are definitely pushing the envelope and to such an extent that will not do anyone any good if it explodes. The earlier they discipline their utterances and actions or intentions, in the interest of the national unity, the better it would be for everyone. Afghanistan and Somalia used to be functioning societies until internal distrusts led to the disequilibrium that laid them waste. American politicians should not take for granted the long existing stability in America, thinking that nothing can happen to it because things do happen. For a country that has been in a costly civil war, provoking such thoughts that could be exploited leading to cascading consequences should be drastically discouraged. It is not ideal nor should it be encouraged. Enough of the acerbic rhetorics.

REPUBLICANS ARE TIMID: BEING INTIMIDATED BY DEMOCRATS.

ICHEOKU says if as it has turned out the riot was planned days ahead of the Save America Speech and that the rioters did not act based on the president's urging and instigation, why again is the president being impeached and harassed? Why are Republicans not rising in defense of the president aware that what is going on is a continuation of the war which they declared against the president since 2016 just because he shamed them and their Hillary Clinton by winning an election which was 'meant" for Hillary Clinton's coronation. Why do the Republicans think it is ok to stand hands akimbo and watch a president who grew their party be shafted in this way and without them fighting back as a party of one whose interest is being destroyed by a well crafted and well choreographed schematic attacks which was perfected to get rid of the Republican Party once and for all. 

Where is the mad rage of the Republicans watching the current torment against the president or do they think that American people do not know what is going on. It is such an unfortunate sorry scene watching the Republicans feign helplessness or guilty because of what happened on January 6th. This same Republicans were around during last summer's Black Lives Matter and Anti Fascist movement grind the country to a halt with their vicious and destructive riots which saw so many cities burnt and historical monuments destroyed. Why did the Republicans not hold Democratic Party leaders accountable for all the destruction of BLM and ANTIFA but are now readily accepting that the president should be held responsible for the Capitol melee which saw a negligible number of the greater MAGA family storm the building. 

Why is it acceptable to them or do they think that they can sacrifice the president and hope to rebuild the party on the back of betraying him. When has a fiery political speech amounted to incitement and where were the Republicans when Nancy Pelosi said that the president is an impostor and not her president or was that not inciting enough? Where were Republicans when Democrats accused the president of being a Russian agent and colluded with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election; a narration which continued into the November 3rd 2020 election? Why is it Republicans that "SHOULD" always be reasonable and must "UNDERSTAND" and now forced to jettison their president when Democrats are always united no matter the issue.

If the Democrats could make such claim which have since been debunked as the hoax which it was and forced an investigative inquisition lasting for years, why then is it not acceptable for the president and MAGA family to challenge the November 3rd election as rigged? Why the double standard of treatment and all these are going on with Republican leaders' tactic approval by not pushing back the ongoing intimidation of the president and their party's base. What is not right is not right and it is in the interest of fairness that every American be treated as equal citizens and their respective complaints and concerns be adjudicated fairly. 

There was an election where one candidate campaigned vigorously while the other stayed in his basement. We watched the enthusiastic crowds that graced the campaign rallies. Votes were being counted on election night with a particular trajectory and suddenly the counting were stopped midway and counting not concluded for the first time in history on election night. Then suddenly overnight, the tallies were changed and somebody said it was not suspicious at least? It is a trite rule of law that justice must not only be done but must also be manifestly seen to be done and applying that to a presidential election in a nation where two different philosophies are at loggerhead, it is necessary that either side be satisfied to a reasonable degree that the election was fairly conducted and the counting of votes reasonable well done. 

But to try and force everyone into a grave silence at the penalty of retribution can only send the resentment underground and like an entombed volcano, its eruption will be detrimental to America's wellness. It would have been better if the steam of the election protest was allowed to be fully vented through necessary accommodations; but the current course embarked upon by Democrats with the tacit approval of the leadership of the Republican Party to totally and completely emasculate dissenters is not recommendable. Injustice is not just and rubbing it on their noses is not a good strategy as a viperous snake might be forced to make a venomous death jab. But ICHEOKU blames the Republicans for their sabotage of the president by not fighting back an obvious targeted blackmail and they will pay dearly for what they did to the president by allowing the Democrats to get away with their traducement. It is sad. 

LEAVE NO MAGA BEHIND.

THE PRESIDENT MUST NOT LEAVE ANYONE BEHIND. THEY STOOD UP FOR HIM AND HE MUST RETURN THE FAVOR. HE SHOULD GRANT THEM PARDON TO AVOID STIGMATIZATION OF THE RED CAP. YES, THEY OVERREACHED BUT SO DID BLM AND ANTIFA THAT RAMPAGED AMERICAN CITIES LAST SUMMER. PRESIDENTIAL PARDONS ARE MEANT FOR THINGS LIKE THIS, SO LET'S JUST ADMIT THEY COMMITTED SOME CRIMES, INCLUDING TRESPASS AND INTIMIDATION AND GRANT THEM PARDON. WITHOUT A PARDON THE MAGA BRAND WILL BE FOREVER TARNISHED AS BUYER'S REMORSE WILL SET IN, ESPECIALLY AMONG THOSE WHO WILL BE PUNISHED FOR THEIR EXCESSIVE EXUBERANCE IN STORMING THE CAPITOL. NOBODY CONDONES WHAT HAPPENED BUT IT WILL HELP UNIFY THE COUNTRY. #PresidentialPardonIsInOrder.

 DEMOCRATS' POWER SHOW, BLAME REPUBLICANS' COMPLICITY. IT IS SAD!

FOX NEWS AND REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE NO LONGER VIABLE CONSERVATIVE PLATFORMS.

ICHEOKU says Fox News abandoned its viewers trying to appeal to liberals in competition with CNN as piloted by its feminist president Suzanne Scott. Unfortunately for them, they forgot that they cannot be as good as the master in pandering to liberals. Now the viewers who made Fox News what it became have gradually shifted their loyalty elsewhere and it is beginning to show with their falling ratings. They took for granted that their rise was due to being an opposition channel and not a mainstream channel and they were not smart enough to appreciate this denominating factor. 

By the same token the Republican Party has also abandoned its base by not standing firmly with their beloved MAGA president. They cannot survive as a viable political party without the MAGA base and will not ever recover from the current scorch earth attack of the Democratic Party unless they change course and make up with the MAGA family. They forgot that opposition party means opposition and that their existence oxygen is to provide those people who do not like the Democratic Party an option. Trying to be like the Democratic Party is not an option because they cannot beat the original. Conservative voters vote Republican because they do not like the liberal policies of the Democratic Party and do not want anything to do with their agenda. 

A wise party would have imbibed this as they pursue political power; but no, they ganged up against the president and refused to stand with him to fight for what will benefit the entire party. It is sad. It is about time that a new political party emerges to either displace the Republican Party in its dying throes or provide conservative voters with a real choice in elections. Just  like One America News and Newsmax are now viable alternatives to the Fox New brand which has lost its essence, a third political party should avail conservative voters a new platform that in fact truly represents them and their values. A look-alike is not good enough nor is an imitation going to ever be better than an original; especially for Fox News which called Arizona too early but refused to call Pennsylvania and Florida and single handily screwed up election night and election result of November 3rd, 2020. 

ICHEOKU says Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity should switch their allegiance from Fox News to One America News or Newsmax immediately and bury Fox News for good. It is difficult watching their programming and presentations as watching it makes you feel trapped inside an airport lounge with CNN being forcibly fed to you. What an unthinking people at the management that veered from their original set objective of providing an alternative to liberal media which aided their growth as they wanted to now be like their liberal outfit. ICHEOKU turned off Fox News channel since November 3rd 2020 but watches Tucker Carlson recorded without the advertisements. Therefore it is about time Fox News and the Republican Party made way for real conservative platforms to take over since they have lost their conservative mantra. When salt loses its taste it is no longer salt but sand and so has the two formerly conservative institutions lost their way and need to go.

DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE DEFENDED THEIR PRESIDENT NO MATTER WHAT.  IMAGINE A REPUBLICAN LEADER MS CHENEY VOTING AGAINST THE PARTY'S INTEREST, APPARENTLY WITH MITCH MCCONNELL'S AND KEVIN MCCARTHY'S  TACIT APPROVAL. REALLY? DON'T THEY EVER LEARN FROM DEMOCRATS? REPUBLICANS ARE FINISHED. IT IS A SHAME AND VERY SAD!



HE TOO IS MAGA, RIGHT?

 
ICHEOKU says how a MAGA pretender really looks like. It is unfortunate that they rolled the president over with their false accusation of instigating a melee which was planned days before he gave his speech. It is sad.

CAPITOL MELEE: SAVE AMERICA SPEECH WAS INFILTRATED.

ICHEOKU says everyone knows that it is out of character for MAGA to be destructive or riotous as witnessed throughout the last four years especially last year when they avoided confrontation despite all the provocations from the BLM and ANTIFA movement. But suddenly, some people want the world to believe that MAGA suddenly became possessed with destructive demonic spirit which turned them into raging animals against the Capitol. Really? 

Thank goodness some of the infiltrators are now being nabbed and hopefully the authorities will not protect them in another attempt to put the blame on MAGA. Some of them have been identified including a son of New York States Supreme Court Judge who is a far left liberal democrat. 

Anyway, Jesus Christ was falsely accused just to crucify him and this people have wrongly accused the president just to take him out of the White House. But like Jesus, the president can only grow bigger, huger and larger in the hearts of those who love him and who admire his tenacity faced with such degree of detractors including members of the Republican Party. It is sad.
