GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS NEXT.

Just five people shy of Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting incident that claimed 26 lives, the Uvalde Texas Robb elementary school mass shooting at 21 victims, now ranks among the highest grossing gun carnage in America. It is sad that such frequent blood spilling has tragically become part of our culture as a society. May the souls of the killed now rest.

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi once questioned former President Donald John Trump's fitness to remain in office due to what she claimed was his declining mental capacity. Does anyone know what Madam Speaker presently thinks about the incontrovertible case which America is now saddled with? Just curious!

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

The West should convert frozen Russian assets, both state's and oligarchs' owned, into a full seizure and set them aside for the future rebuilding of Ukraine. Like the Marshal Plan, call it the Putin Plan.

A HERO IS BORN.

I am staying put. I will not run away and abandon my people. The fight is here in Ukraine. What I need are weapons and ammunitions, not a ride out of town like former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani - President Volodymyr Zelensky.

WORD!

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

JUST THE FACT.

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.

DEMOCRATS' BUM IMPEACHMENT: WHAT A MERITLESS JUNKET.

ICHEOKU says although a wishful thinking but expects the 100 Senators to vote unanimously to acquit the president based on the evidence presented during the past four days of the impeachment trial. ICHEOKU's excessive optimism is anchored on the now fully established fact that the president did not commit the crime of "incitement of insurrection" charged as there was nothing in his January 6th 2021 Save America Rally speech which was inciteful nor lead to the riot. If the Senators are fair minded and objective people, and their sole purpose of accepting the impeachment trial despite it being moot is to truthfully listen to the evidence first before reaching a decision, then they must in a bipartisan fashion acquit the president because the evidence did not prove the crime.  If it doesn't fit, they must not convict. 

The Democratic Party had the whole time and opportunity in the world to charge the president with as many counts indictment in their Articles of Impeachment as they wanted and desired; but they chose otherwise not to do so. Instead, they brought just only one count charge of "incitement of insurrection" and that is what they are stuck with, period. This one count charge is  what is before the Senate and the only thing which Democrats impeachment managers must prove to show that the president's speech triggered the Capitol riot, but they failed to do so and could not prove same. As was shown in the cases presented, they failed to establish a causal link between the president's speech and the riot because there was nothing in the foundation of their case to ground the case. 

The president's January 6th 2021 Save America Rally speech is the only issue that was in trial and whether it incited the rioters to storm the Capitol. A person who alleges something has the duty to prove it which vests proof on the prosecution in criminal cases and on the plaintiff in civil matters. Democrats alleged and charged the president with one count crime of "incitement of insurrection", they have the duty to prove it and they have failed to prove it. This failure is fatal to their case as they failed to meet their obligation to mate the speech with the riot. Once this fails, nothing else matters as there is nothing more left in the Articles of Impeachment for them to prove or for the president to defend. There is no other count in the indictment left standing and therefore the only plausible decision which the Senate can now make is to render unanimous vote of acquittal of the president because there was no case to answer made against him and if any, Democrats failed to prove it. 

The January 6th speech is the it all, the beginning and end of the one count indictment and whatever case and decision therefrom must also be confined within just that same lean scope. No other extraneous cases or issues or incidents are permitted in the matter because if Democrats had  wanted, they would have charged them as additional counts. Once this ambit is established, nothing else matters including other things which were done and/or not done by the president soon after the riot begun up until it ended. Even the attempted pillory of the president for not on his own accord, timely sending troops to the Capitol is irrelevant. It was not a count in the indictment and it happened after the riot had already begun; the impeachment case anchors only on the president's Save America Rally speech and nothing more. 

Also, the legislature is a different branch of the government and not under the president's control. So, the president can only act in matters involving Congress upon the invitation or request by the leadership of the Congress. The president is not the chief security officer of the Capitol and as with Cities and States which must first invite, seek or ask for help from the president before he can act with sending federal security help to them as was shown during last summer's BLM and ANTIFA mayhem, it is only with the invitation of Congressional leadership that the president could act in their matters and he acted promptly once they made the request for help by sending over twenty thousand National Guards members to help secure the Capitol. 

Anyway, America and the world watched the presentations made by Team Trump defense as well as those made by the Democratic Party hatchet anglers. Their presentations shone the light on the case and revealed the meritless of their frivolous case. It showed that nothing in the president's speech of January 6th caused "incitement of insurrection"; the riot was also pre-planned and nobody can incite an already planned event. It was a premeditated act by some knuckleheads who just wanted to raise hell which they did. Their despicable act also ran counter to everything which the president, a law and order champion, who loves the police dearly stood for throughout his four years in office. 

As for other extraneous issues which the Democrat impeachment managers tried to drag into the case to help shore up their weak foundation, it was rather a too little too late effort. They were afterthought maneuvers which they never considered impeachment worthy previously, otherwise they should have filed counts on them separately or even prosecuted them when they initially happened. They did not then and are belatedly now only making them up as they go just to establish a case against the president. It is sad that American people's time and resources have once again been wasted on a frivolous impeachment by Democrats, who forced the people to suffer through yet another  impeachment hogwash and they knew that it was meritless at the onset but still went forth with it anyway. ICHEOKU says it will be interesting to see how those six renegade Republican Senators in particular finally vote, whether to convict or acquit the president. #TheOnlyRecourseIsAcquittal
