ICHEOKU says she voted "present" during the impeachment trial, choosing to stay on the fence of indecisiveness, instead of breaking for one side or the other in the political duel. She wanted to play it safe but succeeded in winning nobody's admiration because it did not reflect a true character, courage and conviction despite her training as a member of the United States military or rather Hawaiian National Guard.
Indecision is a mark of lack of courage and character as conviction was lacking in her to take a side because she was playing a game of keeps and for a delusional long haul in the primaries. Suddenly, she became decisive and now endorses Joe Biden and you ask yourself why did she continue to remain neutral, continue to sit on the fence, in the ongoing battle for the nomination of the Democratic Party's presidential candidate between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. But she is a smooth operator who uses her pretty face as a decoy to charm and deceive people; but beneath it lies a conniving establishment politician who is actively working in concert with the entire Democratic Party establishment to deny Bernie Sanders the nomination of the party.
ICHEOKU says used to admire her until that "Present" vote during the impeachment trial. which showed her wishy washy nature. It would not have mattered which side she voted for, either to convict or acquit the president, but she should have decisively voted as any convinced, charactered person would. But to try to play it safe by trying to placate both sides of the political divide, shows that she is not a Commander in Chief material, her service in the military notwithstanding. Such a position demands making of decisions and it does not matter whether good or bad, although good will be preferred; but it abhors of prevarications, indecisiveness and needless equivocations that do not a problem solve.
Query, if she couldn't decide one way or the other during the impeachment of the president, how was she now able to decide between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, who to endorse? The only explanation is that she is a calculating, conniving and contriving player who gages the direction of the wind before punting on issues. During the impeachment trial she wanted to continue enjoying the airtime which Fox News afforded her with repeat appearances and did not want to vote to convict the president in order not to offend the Network.
Also she did not want to offend the Democratic Party either, hence she did not vote to acquit the president. But now, that she has withdrawn from the race, she has nothing to lose nor anything to gain by appearing neutral, hence the head first plunge into endorsing Joe Biden, in compliance to a marching order by the Democratic Party for everyone to fall in line behind the former Vice President.
Anyway, ICHEOKU is not perturbed by the development as everyone knew right from the start that the Democratic Party's establishment will never allow a non member of the party to clinch their presidential nomination ticket. Bernie Sanders is not a member of the Democratic Party, he is an independent and should have no business seeking the nomination of the party in the first place. If he indeed truly wants to make a difference and convinced in his cause, he should have emulated Ross Perot and Ralph Nader by running as an Independent and let the tree fall where it may.
But unfortunately, he has no fire in his belly to indeed shake up the Democratic Party's establishment, otherwise he would have spoiled it for everybody. If they could denying him the ticket in 2016 and are now again doing the same thing to him in 2020, why can't he push back by registering his disgust at their rigged system and tacit disavowal of him, through an Independent run. But a toothless bulldog only barks but hardly bites and so it is with Bernie Sanders who turned out to be too timid to take a chunk of flesh out of his adversary, the Democratic Party.
Anyway, Tulsi Gabbard's own time in the political sun is now effectively over and once she loses her battle with Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton, her political sun will permanently set, never to rise again. Her performance during her sorry short lived and little accomplished presidential run, which but for the little blimp when she took on Kamala Harris, was rather mediocre and America will not give her a second look. There will be no next time for Tulsi Gabbard nationally, she is toast, done and will soon be forgotten like Alaskan Sarah Palin who sees Russia from her house. Hopefully, Tulsi has some other career she plans to pursue going forward. She has already denied being a Russian asset otherwise Putin would have made her rich with some consulting business. But hey, so long Tulsi!

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.
