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.

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.

TARA READE: TOO MANY UNEXPLAINED MOVING PARTS IN HER STORY

ICHEOKU says it is quite clear from all the collaborating circumstances that something in fact did happen to Tara Read while she worked for Joe Biden Senate's office back in 1993. But what is not clear however is the level of her complicity in what happened to her. Is it possible that she initially was a willing participant but later changed her mind and tried to back off. Is it possible too that she reached a deal about it, but the other side later reneged on it which turned her into a bitter woman. But will anybody know exactly what happened to her unless the matter is fully litigated in public opinion by Joe Biden granting full access to whatever document she claims evidenced her contemporaneous complaint about the incident. 

ICHEOKU says is somewhat confused on how a 29 year old woman would just stand aloof,  transfixed, as Joe Biden had his way with her as she described it; and for such a long time for him to accomplish all that she said he did without anyone catching them in the act. She did not put up a fight, she did not pushed him off and neither did she scream. According to her narrative, Joe Biden held her, pushed her against the wall, put his hand underneath her skirt and penetrated her with his finger, told her that he wants to fuck her. Continuing, he later kissed her on the neck, told her that she is nothing to him, then held her shoulder as he reassured her that she is okay and alright before picking up his gym bag and then left. Their bodies were so symmetrically aligned that their two foreheads and knees were touching each other, his mouth so close to her that she smelled his breath, body odor and/or fragrance, presupposing that Joe Biden's crutch was also pressed on her pubic area as well. 

From her story, Joe Biden later picked the gym bag from the ground and left, which showed that the gym bag was on the ground while the assault was going on. This automatically freed Tara Reade's both hands, but she wants us to believe that Joe Biden, who also has only two hands, was able to do all these to her without a counteraction by her. While all these sundry list of things were going on, why didn't Tara Reade deploy her own two hands into use immediately, to fight off, push off, craw and scratch her way out from an unwanted invader who also penetrated her private part. All these activities could not have taken place within a millisecond and you wonder why did she tolerate all of them. When Joe Biden did not take the gym bag from her stretched hand and approached closer, why did she not back off or drop the bag and ran away. 

Why did she stand there watching as Joe Biden came close enough to pin her to the wall. What was the level of her complicity in the whole experience which she suffered. Was she wearing a come-on mini skirt which made it so easy for Joe Biden to penetrate her with his finger? Before the incident took place, did she flirt with Joe Biden and possibly confided in some other fellow staffer who decided to facilitate her private meet with Joe Biden by sending her to take Joe Biden's gym bag to him. Was Joe Biden expecting her following an earlier heads-up or did he purposely instruct someone to send her to bring his gym bag to him? There are a lot of missing parts in the whole story, admitted that something transpired, but how, is the missing link. 

Tara Reade was afterall not Joe Biden's personal assistant who the running of such errands would constitute part of her job description. Her own job was managing the interns who worked in Joe Biden's Senate office, so why did she agree to be the gym bag lady. Also, when Joe Biden whispered to her that he wants to fuck her, what was her response? Was she revulsed and reacted accordingly with disgust or did she coyly, wriggle with a smile which Joe Biden possibly interpreted as a come on, thus collaborating what he previously heard that she likes him and wanted them to meet. Tara Reade was a big girl then and would have easily put up a fight to stave off Joe Biden's advances if she had wanted. But she stood there and did nothing while the many things she had described took place, really? It will require the suspension of disbelief to accept that they all happened or at least, not as she had narrated them. 

ICHEOKU is not saying not to believe women, but that her story as told, has a lot of moving parts which made it twisted with dubiousness. It is either she exaggerated and embellished the story of what happened to her or that nothing in fact happened to her and if, not as she told the story. She did not mention whether she was even wearing an underwear at the particular time she took the gym bag to Joe Biden and whether she did anything which suggested to Joe Biden that she was game or confirmed to him that she was indeed interested in him. She did not tell us what her response was when Joe Biden told her that he heard that she likes him and wanted to meet with him. If she did not express such thought to somebody, who probably later arranged the gym bag rendezvous, why then did she not deny it outrightly there to Joe Biden and loudly protest that it was not true. 

Many people are aware that women are generally drawn like magnet to men with money and power. It is also a common knowledge that many young women who go to Washington DC to work for politicians often times chase the opportunity to have personal relationship with these powerful politicians. They see them as a bridge to many things in life and they make no bone about it. Monica Lewinsky was similarly drawn to Bill Clinton before the former president put a move on her. Chandra Levy was also attracted to former California Congressman Gary Condit before she was murdered. ICHEOKU believes that there are also many other women whose dalliances did not commandeer the limelight. The only question really, is what role did Tara Reade play in the whole thing and at 29 years, she was a fully grown adult who knew exactly what she was doing and cannot be held out as an innocent teenager who was taken advantage of by a Washington DC politician.
