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.

"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.

CHARGING AT HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS WITH HORSES: A RACIST TACTICAL MANEUVER.

ICHEOKU says among them were women and children and infants as young as two days old. But these pertinent facts did not deter Joe Biden as he sent his immigration agents on mounted horses to charge at Haitian immigrants simply seeking refuge in America. It is his government, his Immigration Secretary, his immigration policy and his immigration enforcement officers and the buck stopped on his desk. 

So, no amount of denial or remedial effort will take away the shame of what happened in Del Rio or absolve him from it because they are Joe Biden's immigration enforcement officers and they acted under the color of his authority and his immigration higher ups ordered those mounted horses to Del Rio. 

Joe Biden is therefore fully responsible for what took place and he did it because those Haitians are black and his long history with racists tendencies is undeniable, admitted he would rather that chapter of his life be buried in the past where they supposedly belong. If they were not black would his administration have sent mounted horses to confront those Haitians with whips and hoofs? Why were those Mexican and South America immigrants not similarly confronted? And pushing the envelope further, were those Haitians confronted in this manner because their blackness does not meet Joe's "you ain't black" benchmark. 

Imagine the outrage which would have resulted had it been that President Donald John Trump is in the White House and mounted horses charged at black Haitian immigrants. But no, it is Joe Biden and good ol' boy Joe can do no wrong, hence the tepid reaction over what happened. Immigration Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has not fallen on his sword neither has the black Jamaican-Indian point person on immigration, Kamala Harris, resigned the appointment as Immigration tsar or rather tsarina over the unfolding scandal. It is retro slavery and Jim Crow's intimidation of black people into obedience through forceful corralling by mounted horses. 

Joe Biden is doing to black people in 2021 exactly what were did to them centuries and decades ago. His government is showing no mercy nor pity to black Haitians, unlike the hospitality which it showed to lighter skinned Mexicans and South American immigrants who similarly poured into the country. Meanwhile Haitians who made it out are being summarily returned back to Haiti in plane loads.

ICHEOKU says Kamala Harris is scheming for a 2024 presidential run and therefore approaching the issue with great caution, afraid not to upset many democrats who do not like taking seriously the issue of blacks inequality and mistreatment in America. Democrats, who merely appeal to black people's sentiments only at election time, emphasizing that they should vote for them simply because they are not republicans. But how many issues militating against black people in America have been addressed by the democrats? Even Congressman James Clyburn who deceived, misled and lied to some unthinking black Americans during last year's presidential election campaign that Joe Biden is not a racist, has not been seen throwing a fit over what Joe Biden's administration is doing to black Haitians at the southern border in Del RIo. 

At least Jim Clyburn is old enough to know what Jim Crow law did to black people's psyche in America, reminiscent of their slavery experience when black people were horse whipped and horse corralled into forced obedience. Now, the same Joe Biden who he helped imposed on America by first imposing him on black people have now gone cuckoo on black Haitian immigrants and what has Jim Clyburn said about it. Recall that Jim Clyburn only got a non binding promise from Joe Biden to appoint a black female Supreme Court Justice as the bargain for black votes in 2020. A non vacant position, which might not even open up during Joe Biden's term; yet this was what Jim Clyburn based his endorsement of Joe Biden on. It says a lot about the cavalier manner with which these supposed black leaders treat and approach issues concerning black people in America. 

What crime did those black Haitian immigrants commit other than seeking a better life for themselves and their families, just like every other immigrant coming to America from around the world, especially from lighter skinned countries, including those from Southern America and Mexico. These other light skinned immigrants were allowed in their tens of thousands into America without being whipped or horse harassed. They were welcomed, fed, hydrated, given medical attention and later bused to various cities in America to "wait" the final decision on their immigration petition. But black Haitians, the treatment has to be different and harsh and inhumane. Why is the treatment meted to them different or is the color of their skin in the way and does not meet the standard color of acceptable immigrants in Joe Biden's America.

Who speaks for black people when Kamala Harris has largely remained mute. What has Jim Clyburn got to say about his lies to black people that Joe Biden loves black people, when he is practically reenacting Jim Crow at the southern border as the true custodian of that era's policies against blacks in America. Those Haitian immigrants being charged at by these mounted horses include some pregnant women, nursing mothers, little children and infants some as old as only two days. Who will protect black people in America when black leaders have literally been compromised and will not do their job, at least not any more. Imagine the good trouble which late Georgia 6th district Congressman John Lewis would have caused Joe Biden were he still alive. Is it a crime to be black or do we blame God Almighty, who in his wisdom, made some of his people black. 

It is horrific reliving the Jim Crow era experience under the Joe Biden administration. It was like a time travel back to that era watching those black Haitian immigrants being hoofed after and stared down by toothy stallions. Those Haitians are human beings too and their black lives should matter as well. They deserve to be treated with some respect and dignity. They are not anybody's slaves nor property that they should be subjected to horse corralling. Seeking asylum anywhere including in America is not a crime. They should not be treated like criminals and savages that will pollute America if allowed to come in. 

Nobody is advocating for open borders or unlimited immigration or that anybody who gets to the border should be allowed to come in or stay. No, only that there should be a one cap fits all immigration enforcement such that if Mexican and South American immigrants are cordially welcomed, so should Haitian immigrants too. No immigrants, no matter the shade of their pigmentation, should be harassed with giant horse hoofs, bellowing and snarling of teeth forcing them back into the waters of Rio Grande where they could have easily drowned. Joe Biden did it to the Haitians and since the buck stopped on his desk, he should take full responsibility for it just like he did with the botched Afghanistan withdrawal. It is sad the bargain black people entered with Joe Biden just because James Clyburn made them do it.
