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.

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

XENOPHOBIC ATTACKS: IT IS OKAY TO KILL OTHER AFRICANS - SOUTH AFRICA DEFENSE MINISTER.

"We are an angry nation, so it is okay for South Africans to vent their anger on other people by murdering them; therefore the government cannot do anything to prevent xenophobic attacks." - Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, South Africa’s Defense Minister. 

ICHEOKU says that this woman has not been fired from her job or relieved of her appointment is a further evidence of the rot which South Africa has become and the country's free-falling into mind-boggling decrepitude. Another testament that the number of imbeciles holding sway in Africa, as leaders, is unbelievably very high; in fact, they are legion. This is a country's defense minister who is tasked with protecting the territorial integrity of South Africa, against all enemies, foreign and domestic; but is here flailing her hands in total surrender to the brazen idiocy of hoodlums and mischief makers who are bringing a horrible name to South Africa. 

ICHEOKU says for solution, how about putting the jackboots on their necks and forcibly making them to stop; and even shooting these animals, if it becomes the last resort. But in a region of Africa, where the late Robert Mugabe massacred 20,000 protesting  Zimbabweans of Matabeleland; where thousands of South Africans were massacred in Soweto and Kwazululand during the Apartheid regime, this woman is now telling the world that rounding up a few hundred miscreants is an impossible task for a country's defense ministry to accomplish? It all shows that the homicidal maniacs who are fermenting the xenophobic trouble in South Africa operate with the government's tacit approval. 

Where else in this world could such a sorry story be told, that a fully functioning government with its security agencies in tact, cannot protect the lives and properties of lawful residents in their country.  This minister ought to have been fired since yesterday, her seat let another take who will seriously read the riot act to these munchkins and follow it up with tough law enforcement. What a huge joke this Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula is, just another undignified fat dotard, who does not even understand her duties as the Minister of Defense. 

What would Nelson Mandela say of today's South Africa an its spiral of death; a South Africa which he spent 27 years of his young life in prison because he was fighting for its liberation. What a sad commentary on idiocy that the country has become such an unwelcoming place and a place where fellow black Africans are publicly being lynched on the streets by nativists South Africans and the government seems to approve. The mouth which uttered this inanity ought to be ashamed of herself, to say the least. What a disgrace to the legacy and struggles of Nelson Mandela who gave it his all and also forgave it all. So sad and so pitiful that a defense minister could utter such.

FELICITY HUFFMAN: A CONVICTED FELON GOES TO PRISON.

ICHEOKU says another example that white privilege is really, especially when coupled with money and a lot of it. She committed a crime which easily passes for bribery and all she gets is two weeks behind bars, a fine, community service and a determinate supervised release. 

If the purpose of sentence is to serve as a deterrent to other would be offenders, this definitely did not meet that threshold, as the judge should have instead, given her a pat on the back and let her walk. Unfortunately, Federal Judges are not elected but appointed and tenured, hence no recall petition can work in this case; unlike in California where one overly patronizing judge was recalled for giving such a pitiful sentence in a rape case. 

Query, if Felicity Huffman were a person of color or any other Jane of America, would she have received such a very lenient slap on the wrist sentence. But it is a recurring decimal in America as the rich and famous as well as the well connected are not as exposed as those on the bottom rungs of society. Recall that Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton was not indicted for her crimes despite the mountain of evidence of her 33,000 deleted and bleach washed emails. Ditto James Comey for leaking classified work product materials. 

So, yes, Felicity Huffman will not be the first nor the last privileged member of the American society to be treated with kid's gloves in matters of law enforcement. Hopefully, the in your face disparity in dispensation of justice will not exacerbate to such an extent, that the people will one day rise up and demand for the restoration of a one cap fits all justice system, where Lady Justice will no longer wear a see through blind fold. Anyway, it is America and the privileged are really privileged, admitted that Felicity Huffman is now a felon.

THE DEBATE: ELIZABETH WARREN STILL STANDING STRONGEST.

ICHEOKU says barring any unforeseen implosion, the Senator known by her President Donald John Trump's given nickname Pocahontas, Elizabeth Warren, is likely to secure the ticket. She is the most presidential of them all and she seems to also know what she is talking about. 

If she can pair with Pete Buttigieg as a ticket, they will go quite far in readying for 2024, as President Donald John Trump has since closed his case with the American people for 2020, hence his four more years somewhat unopposed mandate. ICHEOKU makes bold to state that none of the ten still standing Democratic Party's candidate has the mettle to beat President Donald John Trump in November 3rd, 2020.

Liz Warren is a feisty gal who might do what Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton could not do, shatter the ceiling of the presidency as she steamrolls into the White House. But her odds will greatly improve in 2024 when President Donald John Trump is out of power and will no longer prove a stumbling block any more. But we shall see if American people are so dumb to vote against their interest by refusing to reelect the president in 2020. Anyway, such is a long shot indeed and it will not happen.

9/11 ATTACKS: WE SHALL FOREVER REMEMBER.

ICHEOKU says as yet another year rolled by, like birthdays, we remember the horrors that was visited on America by evil Islamist terrorists from Saudi Arabia on the orders of  Osama Bin Laden. It was on the eleventh day, of the ninth month, at the hour of eight forty five in the morning, in 2001, that Americans woke up to a nightmare which played out on their television, as they watched planes flying into buildings and destroying them. A shocked nation  and the world at large, saw up close, how evil, some religious fanatics could be and that image is forever permanently ingrained in our memory. 

Instead of the customary firing off of missiles from fighter planes, commercial planes themselves were used in lieu of missiles, to attack America's important institutions. Targeted and struck were the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and one other intended target, which did not come to fruition because Americans on board Flight 93, with a battle cry of "Let's roll", decided to preempt the attack by wrestling the hijackers for the control of the plane and successfully crashed it in Shanksville Pennsylvania. What a group of heroes and heroines those passengers were that saved more American from losing their lives, as well as another national landmark from going into ruins.

It was traumatic for everyone and with it, America lost its innocence and the confidence that the two oceans were enough to protect it from foreign aggression. But 18 years later, Americans are still fighting in defense of their freedom from this lunatic fringed Islamists terrorism and recording great successes as they go. As a result, Osama Bin Laden is today sleeping with the fishes somewhere in the Indian ocean, thousands of terrorists have been dispatched to go meet their 70 virgins; and for America's three thousand murdered, many of their own have also since been dispatched to eternity. America is on top of the game, dictating how things goes, moving forward and winning bigly. 

Those terrorists however, achieved some level of successes as they permanently defaced the Manhattan skyline as there is no more a towering Twin Towers standing imposingly therein the horizon. They also caused to be instituted the "stripe and search" that travelers go through in our airports till today; in addition to the hyper vigilance pervading the nation. And for those who actually lived the experience, the trauma is permanently etched in their brain and will stay with them until the end of their time. So, to Congresswoman Ilha Omar, 'some people did not just do something', Islamists terrorists brought war to America and America is answering the challenge. We shall never forget; we shall never falter or flounder, and yes, America shall never turn tail or shy away from the defense of their freedom. America strong, will forever endure.

JOHN BOLTON: FIRED OR RESIGNED, IS OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

ICHEOKU says whether he was fired or was asked to resign or he voluntarily tendered his resignation is irrelevant. The only controlling authority here and which evidenced what truly happened is that John Bolton's clearance to the White House as the National Security Adviser has been revoked and he is now a person non grata therein. Meanwhile, his former boss, President Donald John Trump is still the Chief in the White House and that explains everything which anybody wants to know about what took place, as the lesser dog had to make way. 

So, Mr Walrus should have respectfully maintained a dignified silence as he packed his personal belongings out of the Office of the National Security Adviser to the president and not become just another disgruntled former employee who is lashing out and trying to "put the records straight", as nobody is interested in the journey traveled since the destination is clearer definitive. As is with such cases of failed romance, each party always tries to paint the picture in their best light; but the bottom line is clear, the man on top stays and the squealing minion is out. 

The sequence of events is therefore irrelevant as the result speaks for itself and voluminously:- JOHN BOLTON, OUSTED. The semantics and terminology deployed to codify what happened won't a thing change as John Bolton is no longer the National Security Adviser to the president, period. John Bolton is a hawk and deeply entrenched in the Washington DC's Military Industrial Complex, war profiteers, who always force wars on presidents so that they can make billions of dollars through military contracting. But they met their match in President Donald John Trump, a man of peace, a dove, who had promised Americans that there will be no more wars under his watch and is following through on that promise. A man who keeps his promises and has become a promise keeper and who is determined to fight off these war mongers and has now fired their agent in the White House. 

ICHEOKU says imagine how many wars John Bolton would have drawn Americans into, if not for a president who is tough and courageous and has swathed every move, ploy and plot hatched by John Bolton to force his hand into war. From Iraq to Afghanistan and Syria and you wonder why he does not want America to end all the endless wars. Then add Iran, North Korea, China and even Russia, which if John Bolton had his way, America would have been simultaneously waging multilateral wars right at this very minute. Meanwhile, none of John Bolton's children, if he has any child, is in the military fighting; yet he wants other peoples children, who bravely enlisted to defend America, to continue to die in needless and endless wars throughout the world, so that his defense contractors buddies can continue feeding fat on American resources. 

Imagine too the progress which America could have made  on nearly all these flash points if only they had engaged some of these adversarial countries in round table discussions. But John Bolton said no, as his loyalty lies with his friends in the Military Industrial Complex and to the chagrin of a man of peace, the president who appointed him National Security Adviser and woke up to the fact that he has had it with John Bolton and had to let him go. Whether fired or resigned, the most important thing is that for the sake of giving peace a chance, John Bolton was relieved of his duties at the White House and when he wakes up tomorrow will not be entering the White House to occupy his desk as the National Security Adviser to the president. 

Now, let Americans watch and see how progress will be made on all the simmering fronts, since the sword of Damocles which has been hovering over the necks of these "enemies of America" has been removed. ICHEOKU says no man, especially a leader, negotiates under the duress of either you take what is on the table or we will unleash the awesome fearsome might of the United States military on your country. So, to all peace loving peoples of the world, John Bolton's offload is a good riddance; admitted the hawks and war mongering war profiteers of America will be brooding their loss on an ally inside the inner sanctum of the White House. Mr Walrus, ICHEOKU says so long and enjoy your next appointment at fake news CNN.

CLIMATE CHANGE HYSTERIA: A DEMOCRATIC PARTY SCARE TACTIC.

ICHEOKU says the Democratic Party needs to pony up or shut up, as their current scare tactic campaign of an impending climatic Armageddon will not cut it. They need to start leveling with the American people on how they will help alleviate current issues facing them and not spend too much time worrying about a tomorrow that might never come. If eventually the tomorrow comes, it will, as always find a way out of its woods and somewhat take care of itself. But it is a fulcrum of indescribable maniacal nonsensical to be focusing so much attention and energy on Mr Climate, while at the same time neglecting the real issues facing Mr America.

American people would rather the Democrats face the immediate problems facing the country men and women now and then later, worry about a futuristic problem which may or may never arise tot he proportion which they are making it to be. But it is the political season of silliness where absurdities are sometime elevated to such a stratospheric importance in order to bamboozle and confuse the less informed and scare them enough to pull the lever for the Democratic Party as their protector in chief. It reminds ICHEOKU of the wolves commercial during Bush/Cheney second term reelection where the afraid and fearful were advised to be assured that the Dick Cheney and George W. Bush is the right answer to their trepidation. So, yes, they frighten American people into believing that the climate change is an existential threat to all they know, care and love; and that only the Democratic Party has the magic wand to swath it away back into Mars.

Like our in Lord's Prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread..", American people would rather their present problems are take the preeminent place it deserve in the ongoing Democratic Party presidential ticket campaign and not made a back burner or the second best to any climate change whatsoever. Instead of spending time and resources focusing attention on a future problem, which many of them might not even live to experience, they would rather their real existential problems are the focus of the attention. For example, a retiree who is worrying about the solvency of social security would like the Democrats to address his or her fears; ditto a sick American who is concerned about the rising cost of his and her prescription drugs; likewise the coal miner panicking about what will become his livelihood once the Democrats shuts down the coal mines. The Democrats are not speaking to the fears of these folks and this is very concerning and quite telling about how skewed the Democratic Party priorities are. 

These folks, given a choice, would rather spend their seven hours watching the Democratic Party presidential contenders battle their issues, since they are the ones they are running to be their president; and not whether polar bears will succumb to climate change sometime in the future or cow flatulence will cause the earth to tip over. So, while it is doable to walk and chew gum simultaneously, and creating the awareness of climate change is good; but it is not okay to place the priorities upside down, such that the first becomes the last and the last becomes the first. if there is fire in the house, the order of business is to first put out the fire, before investigating the sources of the fire and apportioning blames on who started the fire. It is like saving money when one is hungry, when the proper thing is to first stay alive by feeding, and then save whatever is left over. 

t is idiotic for the Democrats who are running for the presidency of America, to be spending too much of their time on the campaign trail worrying themselves sick, if actually they meant it, about a future which is not even assured; instead of the present, which is already here with us. To get the American people to come back home to their fold, they must reorder their priorities well and relearn how to put the horse before the cart and not the other way round. 

So, yes, while it is okay to create the awareness that drastic planetary changes is either occurring or a possibility, the Democrats should spend greater percentage of their time on issues which are already here with us, including the threatening China, jobs, security, foreign relations, fair trade, social security, over priced prescription drugs, killer opioids and fentanyl, as well as so many other real "existential threats" which American families wake up and go to bed daily, worrying about. Those kitchen table issues are the real issues worrying American people, which their leaders and anyone seeking to lead them, should be primarily preoccupied with and not some futuristic issue with climate, which is still debatable. 

American people will rise up against any candidate who thinks that American people are too stupid to know any better and will readily fall for such a bogeyman construct; and who will then turn around to present themselves as their protectors from such life threatening situation. American people will reject such candidates and will not vote for them as they do not need anybody to protect them from an "existential threat", which at best is mostly projections. They will rather vote for a president, who in fact, will protect from their present day life challenges, as they would rather live today and die tomorrow, than waiting to live tomorrow and die today. A candidate who is actually working hard, tackling their real issues, than one with an ideologically tinged fantasy of a futuristic issue  which might not ever come to fruition. 

ICHEOKU is emphatic that this is the debate in this election, the real choice facing the Democratic Party's presidential candidate wannabes, to either rise up to the plate on these issues or get ready to be rejected. They must decide to adjust and file away the scare tactic and face the real issues or they will be outed on November 3rd, 2020 with an earth shattering rejection at the ballot box. The choice is theirs to make, to either discontinue their scaremongering or frontally face the issues which are of concern to American people and let the tree fall where it may. Enough of the misplaced energy on a non issue issue, and at best a presumptuous climate catastrophe which is not determinately a certainty. Please Democrats, allow the American people the opportunity to cross the bridge when they get there; but in the interim, face their immediate problems. 

BAHAMAS NEEDS YOUR HELP: SHOW SOME LOVE, HELP BAHAMAS.

ICHEOKU says an entire society completely wiped out and in our shared humanity, their problems should be ours too. Please show some compassion today and help Make Bahamas Whole Again.  #HelpBahamas.

ROBERT MUGABE: A HYBRID HERO AND VILLAIN, DEAD AT 95 YEARS.

ICHEOKU says he outlived most of his traducers including  Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Joshua Nkomo, Ian Smith, Golda Meir and of course Morgan Tsvangirai; as well as everything they spurned and threw at him simply because he wouldn't let them control him and dictate to him how to be an obedient dutiful puppet in the country once known as Southern Rhodesia. 

They hated his guts that he could stand up and call them out for what they are, exploiters of the African continent; so they schemed and plotted to get rid of him and when they couldn't succeed, they branded him a despot, made him a pariah and completely ostracized him from the comity of "civilized" nations. In their attempt to discredit and topple him, they went for the jugular of Zimbabwe economy with earth scorching policies and imposed asphyxiating sanctions aimed at bringing his government down. It was so rivetingly inhumane that a trillion Zimbabwean dollar could hardly buy a loaf of bread, where available. But he hung in tough and for over 40 years, as African longest serving dictator, until he was brought down by his inner circle army generals, under the ruse of a people's revolution in 2017. 

Bobby ranked among the topmost African leaders of note, sharing a platform with the likes of Nelson Mandela, Jomo Kenyatta, Julius Nyerere etc; his compatriots in the liberation struggle to free Africa from the clutches of their European colonial masters and their skewed vulture-like exploitative interest in Africa, where they plundered the continent in order to sustain their own continent.  As many opinion writers have said and rightly so, without African resources, Europe would have been poorer than Bangladeshi and Somalia put together. But they parasitically plugged their proboscis into African resources and with it continues to fatten their country men and women till today and to the great chagrin of the rightful African owners of those resources, who are being ravaged by great want, poverty and need; yet these Europeans pretend not to know what is fueling the Mediterranean migration from North Africa. 

Bobby emerged from the bush as leader of ZANUPF freedom fighters to become the prime minister before abolishing the office to become the president. However, he was gravely flawed as he became a sight tight dictator and committed so many atrocities against his people, including one of the worst massacres in Africa, where in a crackdown to a revolt, over 20,000 Zimbabweans of Matabeleland were murdered by his government troops led by the current President Mmanagawa, who was then chief of security and defense chief. So in a way Tucker Carlson was somewhat both right and wrong when he broad-painted Mugabe as an evil person, because his redistribution of land was a legitimate interest of Zimbabweans who owned the land and farmed it before colonial British forced them off it and expropriated them. But his patriotic fervor does not in anyway excuse the many atrocities which he committed against the people of Zimbabwe, including holding their presidency hostage.


Anyway, what legacy he left behind other than sorrow, tears and blood of Zimbabweans is however debatable; admitted that he gave the British a run for their money and outfoxed them in their various attempts to get rid of him and manipulate him out of power. Conversely, he did not leave Zimbabwe any better than he had met it, so scored a total failure in that department. He was afflicted with the disease which African leaders suffer from, lack of real love for their people and with it, no accountability and no improvement of their lives and living standards. He was ruthless, vicious and merciless in his bid to maintain power. But in the end, he turned out to be just another African leader whose time in office did not do much to help turn around the fortunes of his country men and women. 

Under his watch, there was corruption, violence, heavy handedness, lack of respect for the rule of law, abuse of power and of course a lot of blood letting by his minions, who obeyed as he commanded and sometimes, implicitly. The cruel irony of his leadership however was that he fought to liberate his people from the oppressions of the white British colonialists, but ended up himself oppressing the same people he had fought to liberate. He also did not like the British so much, but ended up stuck in their dress code, mannerisms and etiquette; as well as general suave and urbane lifestyle and way of life. Is it possible that he conned his Zimbabwean people into believing that his anti British sentiments was real or that he was nuanced about it, by liking certain things about the British while abhorring their colonialist air of superiority and arrogant condescending attitude. 

Bobby loved power and enjoyed being in power, that he once claimed that there is no alternative for Zimbabweans to Robert Mugabe. According to him, "The majority of the people feel that there is no replacement or successor, who to them is acceptable, as acceptable as I am." Like Nikolas Ceausescu of Romania who once claimed that he was the spirit of the Danube River, the power which makes it possible for it to flow, Robert Mugabe once quipped that he is Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe is him. Defiantly stating thus: “I will never, never sell my country. I will never, never, never surrender. Zimbabwe is mine, I am a Zimbabwean, Zimbabwe for Zimbabweans. 

He was a sight tight president and once stated that he will die in office. According to him, “I am not retiring. I will never, never go into exile. I fought for Zimbabwe, and when I die I will be buried in Zimbabwe, nowhere else.” Robert Mugabe seemed to have had his way as he never went into exile and now dead, will be buried in his country Zimbabwe; unlike Ugandan Idi Amin who was forced out of power and into exile and when he died, was buried in a foreign land Saudi Arabia. Unlike the now mentally depreciated Joe Biden, who usually gets his "facts and truths" mixed and mangled up, at least Robert Mugabe got two of the three assertions right, as he was not forced into exile and he will be buried in Zimbabwe.

He was a hero to his people, admitted he was ruthless and silenced any opposition; but some would rather see him as a despot just because he asked for redistribution of Zimbabweans fertile lands which colonialists had appropriated from the natives. But hey, as Nelson Mandela once rightly said, one people's terrorist is another people's hero; so to Zimbabweans, a hero is gone; while to the British and other white people like Tucker Carlson, his demise is a good riddance.

ICHEOKU says Robert Mugabe's only likely regret would be that he did not die in office, as he had wanted to stay in power "until God said come" back home. He was pushed out of power in 2017 and never fully recovered from the shock of the betrayal by his most trusted, supposed loyalists, who aborted his planned hanging unto power until God called him home. A call which finally came on Friday September 6th, 2019 while he was clinging to life in a Singaporean hospital and he answered, expired and gave up the ghost.  He had a storied life, he came from nobody to become somebody; he was highly cerebral, he was a party leader, a Prime Minister, a President; he was twice a husband, a father, a hero  of his people and lived a long healthy fulfilled life. President Robert Gabriel Mugabe died of natural causes of infirmities of old age. He was 95 years old. May his soul now rest. Adieu Bobby.

WATTER'S WORLD APPEARANCE: ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI NOT VERY SMART.

ICHEOKU says watched the lifeline thrown to the disgruntled midget on Jesse Watter's Fox News show Watters World, expecting the little man to take it, apologize to the president and Team MAGA; or in any other way explain the parallels of equivocation of his sudden attacks on the president, his tweeting gone into overdrive, considered. But he squandered the  golden opportunity to really explain to the American people, who see him as a phony, the real reason things fell apart between him and the president. 

However, the little man denied being used by the media as a conduit for their hatred of the president and a continuum of their attacks on him. But what the pig face did not elaborate on is where Mike Avanetti, Mike Cohen and James Comey of the Bash Trump trio are today and why the media suddenly blacklisted them and no longer invites them repeatedly to offer an opinion on the president. If Anthony Scaramucci is really smart, he would have adverted his mind to this three and what became of them and therefore advised himself more appropriately. But no, his quest for Hollywood walk of fame and crave to remain on television got better hold of him and turned him into the bot head he is today on Twitter. A matter made worse because he is too shortie to matter and neither influences anybody nor a person swayed since he embarked on his journey into perdition.

The trio of Avanetti, Cohen and Comey have exhausted their usefulness, having proven themselves the useful idiots which they are and there is no longer any use for them for these media houses and with it their relevance dried off. ICHEOKU says the same fate awaits the Mr Tattoo of Fantasy Island. When the media is done with him and he is no longer useful for their entertainment, they will drop him like a hot potato. But that this gravity-secured individual is not aware of and does not know about this glaring fact is the reason ICHEOKU said that he might not afterall be as smart as he pretends to be. 

The other thing to come out of the appearances on Watter's World is the real reason he fell out with the president, as according to him, the president had attacked his wife and he rose in defense of her honor. ICHEOKU says probably this might be the real reason he has been shouting himself hoarse on Twitter, hoping that some people will hear him, come to his rescue and help salvage him. But fortunately for Americans, his type has no credibility nor candor or core and character to make people want to take a second look at the garbage which he spews. To the Anthony Scaramuccis of this world and America, hear ye, hear ye, that on November 3rd, 2020, American people will vote their interest and reelect President Donald John Trump to a second term in office. 

ICHEOKU was particularly surprised by his surprised sudden attacks on the president which started so soon after his Squawk Box interview where he praised the president, stating that no American will trade the president' because of his many great achievements for any of the socialist Democratic Party's candidates, come Election Day November 3rd, 2020. Anyway, now that the American people have seen through the charade and that his attacks on the president has nothing to do with the president's job performance or any untoward utterances of the president, that everything he did, he did it for selfish reasons, it is about time Anthony Scaramucci is frozen out of relevance; and let him stew in his bile as any disgruntled mini-me person would. Enough of the Anthony Scaramucci's nuisance on Twitter and other media houses. Away with the pig face.

JOE BIDEN: SET HIM FREE, LIFT THE BURDEN.

ICHEOKU says a case of when the body, the mind and the soul are really tired and worn out; and not willing or able or capable to carry on and push through, but the exigencies of the time compel them to saunter on. A fully mental capable Joe Biden wouldn't even wish this on his now old, depreciated and degraded caricature. Whoever is and whichever powers are, that are doing this to Joe, should please let Joe Biden be. Please set him free and relieve him of this untoward burden as his days in the sun has since gone, eclipsed by the challenges of old age and associated aging incapacities. #SetJoeBidenFree.

DAVE CHAPPELLE: STICKS AND STONES TO THE RESCUE.

ICHEOKU says it is about time somebody spoke the truth to the millennial snowflakes crowd, as well as to those crazy bald-head wild eyed feminists nut jobs, who selectively pick and choose what is a tolerable speech and conduct within the American society. An goal-directed attack, which is fast eating deep into the American social fiber and threatening to take it down into the bottomless abyss. 

America is now morphing into a society where everyone is on edge and afraid to say what they are actually and truly thinking, because they might become a target of these angry ravenous mob, whose mantra is their way or the highway to hell. America, the bastion of free speech, is gradually being transform into an America, where the only acceptable free speech are those approved by these sanctimonious speech police, masquerading as "progressives". They are trying to silence other's free speech with their high pitched protestations, threats of mayhem, public disorder and and in fact visiting actual violence on people who opine differently. They sometimes take your means of livelihood, job, friends, accommodation and in some acute cases, even life; to let you know never to wander off the reservation of group think and herd mentality. 

This is the present reality in America, a well orchestrated plan by these anarchists to silence those who think for themselves and differently. They will brand your opinion a  hate speech and sometimes call you names including racist and homophobe just to intimidate you to kowtow their line or keep silent. Sometimes, even when the same thing was said by two people, one from their side and the other person from the other side of the political divide, they will pillory the person from the other side while giving a pass to the person from their side, giving ridiculous excuses such as it was a misspeak while calling the other person's misspeak a lie. 

They are scheming for a society where everybody takes a talking point from their template and any attempt to stray from it attracts their fierce rebuke. A society of double standards where you are punished for independent thinking and rewarded for letting them think for you. A society where it is okay to be a deviant and where deviancy has been redefined and so watered down that it is now a tolerable behavior to defecate and urinate on the streets. A society where abnormal has become the new normal and where  convicted felons are no longer to be called felons anymore. A society where truants and vagrants are appreciated more than hardworking citizens. A society where a homeless has more right than a homeowner, including the right to defecate and sleep within the surrounding space of a dwelling, including stairways of ingress and egress. 

A society which bans plastic drinking straws but not plastic syringes for intravenous illicit drug injection. A society where an insignificant minority homosexuals, less than .001 percent of the population, are forcing their lifestyle on the entire society and threatening to redefine what is an acceptable sexuality and societal normalcy. A society of double standards where the president is accused of lying but Joe Biden is excused as a misspeaking gaffe machine. A society where Bill Maher can say whatever insensitive inanity he likes, including celebrating the death of David Koch; but others cannot enjoy the same slack of tolerance and if they stray, there will be vehement call for the boycott of their show by advertisers.

A society where unborn infants can be killed on demand and sometimes after life birth, under the guise of  a woman's right to choose; and you wonder whether the father or even the sperm donor that facilitated conception have any right at all on whether or not the product of his groin lived. A society where those who broke immigration laws and force themselves on the society are cuddled for their illegality, while citizens have so many issues that need to be addressed but without anyone listening to them or looking their way. 

A society where everything that once mattered as part of the soul of the society has now been consigned into the dustbin of history, including God, flag, pride in country and patriotism. A society where so many people are angry and mad at the next person and which is still seeking answers to a never ending mass shootings and blaming it on availability of guns, while ignoring the long simmering pent-up anger which eventually  boiled out to the surface as mass shootings. A society which hates law enforcement officers but calls 911 when they are in trouble or confused or there is no McChicken at McDonald's.

They are the enemy within, waging a murderous war against societal norms and when you question them, they retort that they are have freedom of speech to say what they said and will not hesitate to remind you that America is a free society. But they quickly forget this standards when it is the other side that said what they do not like or want to hear. They are seeking to remake America and turn it into an also failed society, otherwise they could have easily packed up and move to whatever country they like as nobody will stop them at the border and force them to remain and not to leave and leave those who want to live in America alone and in peace. They want to create a society where there are two tiers of justice enforcement, one for the Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton and Leaky James Comey of America and the other for the rest of law abiding citizens. 

Like hollering rhesus monkeys, they will shout without ceasing, inundate your ears with so much protestations until you yield your ground. They will tell you that it is the woman's body, therefore it makes her the sole decider in chief of what happens to the life which is incubating inside her uterine cavity, while completely disregarding the wishes of the child and/or the father not to be killed. They profess so much "love" for the children from across the Southern border while killing their own would be children and you wonder if they love children so much, why not carry theirs to full gestation.

It is painful watching such a degeneracy, which has not been helped by the lack of a push back from the other side due to political correctness and fear of being branded. These anarchists have literally intimidated nearly everyone into silence, aware that any attempt to speak up or push back will be met with such beat down that they would rather numb themselves to it than attract such a vengeful reaction. So, it is heartwarming and delightful to hear Dave Chappelle unmuzzled as he refused to be intimidated and silenced any longer. 

In his latest Netflix gig, Sticks and Stones, which is aptly titled because of the predicted reaction of the righteous lunch mob, he took it to them and they are not having fun about being called out. The G, the FB and the T, (Google, FaceBook and Twitter) which have since turned themselves into speech police and will readily muzzle any contrarian were also called out. Ditto baby killers on demand, stating that a woman's rights to choose should as a correlation, also include a man's right not to allow the woman kill his child and to not take care of the child if he so chooses. 

Dave Chappelle said and ICHEOKU agrees that there should be no attempt to control speech no matter the guise or subterfuge. That a right for anyone should be a right for everyone and that any one's right denied or deprived should be every one's right denied. Stones and Sticks is a great comic relief as it addressed many of the current knee jerk society's wobbling afflicting America today. ICHEOKU recommends it for everyone to watch and if you are not a subscriber to NETFLIX, become one today. Stones and Sticks is the bomb as Dave Chappelle  delivered.

ELIZABETH WARREN: WHY SHE WON'T BE THE NOMINEE.

ICHEOKU says it is not because of any other candidate including Joe Biden or the biological certainty of her gender, as many feminists Americans still nurse the conviction that America is not yet ready for a female president and commander in chief of the American armed forces. Far be it that any of these is the reason Elizabeth Warren will not and cannot be the nominee of the Democratic Party for the 2020 presidential election. 

The fact of the matter and literally the sole obstacle standing in her way and seriously militating against her candidacy is the tribal politics of the Democratic Party, which have succeeded in pitching people into different dichotomies, with each seeking to keep their kind in power. There is no conceivable way Elizabeth Warren could balance her ticket to accommodate and assuage all these tribes, especially the loudest and most vociferous groups within the party. She is a female and a white Caucasian, and cannot risk another minority as her running mate because that will spook the majority white males of America and turn them away from voting for her. 

Americans cannot and will not accept an all female presidential ticket from either of the two parties, as the men will not take it or stand aloof as their gender is completely, politically emasculated and kept out of the White House. They are afraid that if such ever happens, that they will become castrated eunuchs under such an unthinkable feminine only ticket scenario and will fight to the death to prevent it. So, any ticket worth its weight in gold and desirous of securing a berth in the White House must as a matter of fact, include a white American male. 

Elizabeth Warren cannot afford to pick a white male as her vice presidential candidate running mate either, for fear of ostracizing other militant groups within her party. Unlike the other female candidate Kamala Harris, who is black, a feminist and an abortionist, hence successfully checked all the major markers - a female, a black, a feminist, an abortionist and of course the homosexual community loves her, since she is technically one of them, she has no child and is pro infanticide. So, she can safely pick a white male, whether or not he is a homosexual, and still meet the benchmark requirements for the Democratic Party's presidential candidate nominee, carry every tribe. 

Were Elizabeth Warren not a white Caucasian, then the same rule would have applied to her and she will be seriously fighting her way to the White House as only a serious contender would; admitted it will be extremely difficult for any of the candidates to defeat President Donald John Trump, who has acquitted himself so well and delivered on his presidency. But she is the strongest of the ten surviving jostling candidates to take on the president in 2020. 

As for Uncle Joe Biden, age has taken so much toll on him that his mental capacity is now in suspect; and he might even have a brain freeze on the stage while debating the president. Such a risk is beyond contemplation for the Democratic Party to forge ahead with, with him as their presidential candidate. Even with Elizabeth Warren becoming his vice presidential candidate will not the aged perception solve; moreso, the feminists females of the Democratic Party will not entertain nor accommodate such idea. To them, what Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton could not do, Lizzy Warren will pull off in 2020 and they will insist that Elizabeth stays on top of the ticket. 

Straggly silver-haired grandpa Bernie Sanders blew his opportunity in 2016 when his "we are tired of hearing about the damn emails" took the wind out of his sail and with it he forever lost his chance of taking up residence in the White House. He will not be the nominee, moreso, he is not even a member of the Democratic Party, but merely riding shotgun with the party. 

Kamala Harris will not be the nominee either, admitted that she might be on a ticket as a vice presidential candidate if she accepts the offer to run with, most likely Joe Biden, in a kind of Democratic Party's risky all or nothing gamble with Joe Biden. They are flaunting his name recognition as his strongest suit and the reason he will "beat" President Donald John Trump, while selectively choosing to forget that Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton also had a name recognition too but is not in the White House today. 

Mr Spartacus Cory Booker is simply too angry to be let into the White House and cannot be trusted by the Democratic Party with their party's presidential candidate nomination because American people will not even blink his way. 

Beto O'Rourke is a non starter and appears to be running for the president of Mexico rather than America; as his language, comments and utterances suggest that he is not comfortable in his skin, hence the excessive pandering to inanities. As for the Chinese and the gay guy, America is not yet ready for such a radical leap or drastic change to Americanism. Regarding Julio Caesar, America will first have to be overwhelmed by illegal migrants from the Southern border before a Hispanic will be elected president of the United States of America, so why bother with such a candidacy. Senator Amy Klobuchar is not ready yet for national prime time and might as well keep her day job in the Senate. 

In conclusion, while Elizabeth Warren is the strongest candidate to take on President Donald John Trump but she will not secure the ticket because of inherent tribal politics within the Democratic Party. Also, the Democratic Party could have concluded that since they are going to lose the election anyway, regardless of who they field, they are going to field a trusted old party faithful, Uncle Joe Biden, at least to give him the consolatory prize of a former presidential candidate of the party. 

They rigged out Bernie Sanders for Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton in 2016 and nothing stops them from doing the same for old Uncle Joe Biden this time around. The Democratic Party is a party of henchmen and women and they believe in hierarchical order of ascendancy and will not allow their Uncle Joe Biden to be disgraced in his golden years by denying him the party's presidential candidate nomination. But hey, there are more debates to go and anything can still happen, including Joe Biden becoming so mentally debilitated that continuing with him as The One will simply become an unattainable too risky proposition.

JAMES COMEY: IRREDEEMABLY CONTEMPTIBLE.


ICHEOKU says everything he said he wasn't, he is. Everything he said he doesn't do, he did; including doing the worst weasel move ever known to mankind. He said he doesn't leak and he leaked. He said that he doesn't do sneaky things and he did. He said that he doesn't do weasel moves and he did. What manner of a person is this giraffe, ostrich and emu combined personified individual, that once held sway as head of the nation's citadel of law enforcement. James Comey, simply contemptible. 

What a frigging hypocrite this fella is and he also shamelessly and effortlessly lies. His rehabilitation will take several lifetimes, if ever. He possibly did what he did because of his wife; a known wild eyed feminist and Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton's supporter extraordinaire. So, it is possible that she could have made him do it, as James Comey collapsed under the weight of her domestic pressure.  What a downfall of a man, so conceited and so full of it, that he thought himself a God who towered above even the president. 

He saw it coming, his downfall that is; the reason he hurriedly rushed through his book and speaking engagements, knowing fully well that once the IG's report comes out and his misdeeds are exposed that he will become a public pariah. But if he is brave and courageous, he will follow in the footsteps of the fabled Japanese samurais and their failed army generals, fall on his sword and disembowel himself, for the shame is simply too much and irrecoverable from. Harakiri is the only answer to his question, how does he get out from this mess. It is the palliative medicine that could assuage and save him from the pangs of his current situation. It is pitifully SAD indeed.

MAD DOG MATTIS: THE OPED HE WROTE.

ICHEOKU says he would have continued to maintain his silence and not fallen to the pecuniary temptation to "straighten" out his time with the president as his Pentagon chief. Nobody in Team MAGA really cares to know nor gives a hoot damn about whatever ego tripping that forced him to quit his job or was he even fired by the president. 

His, would have been a case where silence was golden; but suddenly and by talking, General James Norman 'Mad Dog' Mattis has demystified himself and peeled off the veneer of a hardcore, hard charging Marine General who does not kiss and tell nor rat. By talking, he would evaporate the aura and myth of Mad Dog Mattis and will henceforth be treated as another hack partisan retired general; and one who qualified as a disgruntled former hire who is mad at his former boss and wants to rat him out. 

Team MAGA loves Mad Dog Mattis but will not allow him to denigrate the leader, no matter what. General Mattis was the defense secretary and not the commander in chief; and whatever account he wants to give about a reversal of roles which he sought and desired, where he commanded and the president obeyed, will not be tolerated or go unanswered or unresponded to. He should not forget that he was only an adviser to the president on military matters and not the formulator of government policies on military use and how the commander in chief deploys them. 

General Mattis should also know that the president was not bound to accept or agree to all his advises or kowtow to all the dictates he wanted or desired. Their respective functions were clearly defined enough to be understood without any fog of doubt or needless equivocation. That only one man won his elected position as president of the United States of America and Commander in Chief of its Armed Forces; and that man appointed General Mattis as his Defense Secretary. That General Mattis served at the president's pleasure and not the other round. Finally, that General Mattis did the right thing when he quit his job because he did not want to obey and carry out the president' and commander in chief's decisions. So, instead of a continuing insubordination, the General resigned. 

This much is what the American people understands and wants to know and the General should and is expected to rest his case there, period. But any attempt to grandstand or try to re-explain what people do not care a hoot about, will be demeaning his standing in the eyes of the American public and creating room for people to start dismissing him as a petulant. He came, he saw, but he failed to conquer the president's objectives at the Pentagon; and it was good that he left based on his principles. So, yes, that he couldn't or rather failed to do his job and resigned as a result is acceptable; but it is not acceptable for him to burden the American people with the reasons he couldn't do his job. It is also instructive to note that it was not the president's fault that General Mattis failed in his assignment at the Pentagon. 

Therefore, to continue to maintain his honor, dignity and respect, General James Norman 'Mad Dog' Mattis must not turn himself into a Trump hating barking Mad Dog; especially now with the current infestation in the land of the maniacally possessed anti Trump and Trump haters who are helplessly hollering and yapping without ceasing. To not heed to this advise will be branding himself one of them and like the many before him, he too will be similarly yoked in the desert of irrelevant noise makers, who are disturbing the peace of a duly elected American president and leader of Team MAGA. Nobody ever survives the wrath of Team MAGA and the odium of such stamp of dishonor. General Mattis have earned his right to have his honor in tact, as a well respected retired American Marine General and should not do violence to it. But we shall see.

JAMES COMEY: INDICTED BUT NOT PROSECUTED.

"The responsibility to protect sensitive law enforcement information falls in large part to the employees of the FBI who have access to it through their daily duties. On occasion, some of these employees may disagree with decisions by prosecutors, judges, or higher ranking FBI and Department officials about the actions to take or not take in criminal and counterintelligence matters. They may even, in some situations, distrust the legitimacy of those supervisory, prosecutorial, or judicial decisions. But even when these employees believe that their most strongly-held personal convictions might be served by an unauthorized disclosure, the FBI depends on them not to disclose sensitive information. 

Former Director Comey failed to live up to this responsibility. By not safeguarding sensitive information obtained during the course of his FBI employment, and by using it to create public pressure for official action, Comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees—and the many thousands more former FBI employees—who similarly have access to or knowledge of non-public information. Comey said he was compelled to take these actions “if I love this country...and I love the Department of Justice, and I love the FBI.” However, were current or former FBI employees to follow the former Director's example and disclose sensitive information in service of their own strongly held personal convictions, the FBI would be unable to dispatch its law enforcement duties properly, as Comey himself noted in his March 20, 2017 congressional testimony. 

Comey expressed a similar concern to President Trump, according to Memo 4, in discussing leaks of FBI information, telling Trump that the FBI's ability to conduct its work is compromised “if people run around telling the press what we do.” This is no doubt part of the reason why Comey’s closest advisors used the words “surprised,” “stunned,” “shocked,” and “disappointment” to describe their reactions to learning what Comey had done. 

We have previously faulted Comey for acting unilaterally and inconsistent with Department policy. Comey’s unauthorized disclosure of sensitive law enforcement information about the Flynn investigation merits similar criticism. In a country built on the rule of law, it is of utmost importance that all FBI employees adhere to Department and FBI policies, particularly when confronted by what appear to be extraordinary circumstances or compelling personal convictions. Comey had several other lawful options available to him to advocate for the appointment of a Special Counsel, which he told us was his goal in making the disclosure. What was not permitted was the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive investigative information, obtained during the course of FBI employment, in order to achieve a personally desired outcome. 

The OIG has provided this report to the FBI and to the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility for action they deem appropriate." - IG Report, page 59-60.)
X

ICHEOKU says akin to the Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton October 2016 similar indictment without consequences, where the then FBI director James Comey made out a compelling case for her criminal liability, but upended it by saying that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute the case; the Inspector General literally indicted James Comey in the released report, but peradventure the Justice Department deemed it inappropriate to and will not prosecute James Comey for his intentional misdeeds and you wonder, if, in fact, the justice system is really a one-cap-fits-all accountability system. 

Anyway, ICHEOKU as well as the watching public are still askance as to why the former, ever sanctimonious FBI director, James Comey, was not marched off in handcuffs, prelude to his criminal prosecution. He was a former employee of the FBI and failed to protect information which came to him by reason of his employment. But for his employment, he would not have had access to the information, thus making it a product of his employment and therefore a protected information, but he went ahead and leaked it, regardless. James Comey also put his personal desires above the FBI standing rules by acting in the fashion he acted. He leaked a protect information just to satisfy his personal crave for vengeance against the president; a payback for his firing. Now, in addition to a leaky Comey, a vindictive Comey will also become one of his sobriquets. 

But for a man who said that he does not do a weasel move, ICHEOKU wonders how else his move against the president could be described other than simply weaselly. May be it was not okay for people in the FBI to run around telling the press what they do, but it is okay for James Comey, as shown by his own conduct, to run around and telling the press what he did? The only reasonable inference being that it is either James Comey does not fall within the definition of a person in the FBI, bound by this non disclosure rule or James Comey was above the FBI, hence a different rule applied to him specifically. 

What a specimen of human contradiction he really is and this was a guy that led the Federal Bureau of Investigation and for such a long time. He would have gotten away with it if not for a courageous President Donald John Trump who decided to take him on and successfully unmasked the creep who was formerly masquerading as the nation's chief law enforcement officer. What a way to write the last chapter of his career as another one bites the dust, James Comey, that is. ICHEOKU agrees with he Inspector General that James Comey's conduct was a dangerous example for all the thousands of subordinates in the FBI. 

An inveterate traducer of the president and now he is totally and completely vanquished, exposed as a despicable lying weasel, who should never have headed the FBI. He said he does not do sneaky things, but he did more than sneaky things. He said that he does not leak but he leaked more than a broken faucet. He said that he does not do weasel moves but real weasels are now jealous of his weasel moves. James Comey, a career of shame. Karma is real.

MSNBC'S LAWRENCE O"DONNEL: A SHAMELESS FAKE NEWS PURVEYOR.

ICHEOKU says if the story was not verified, why then was the rush to report it? But he  is part of the same horde of invertebrates, masquerading as journalists and media people, who are out to get the president. Many of them have not recovered from the fact that they could not influence the last November 8th, 2016 presidential election and like the spoilt kids which they are, have been whining ever since and doing whatever they can to sully the president. 

A matter was made worse because it is the same MSNBC, his employer, which through Rachel Maddow and co, parroted the Russian Collusion nonsense for two long years; and have failed and/or refused to apologize for their false reportage when the witch hunt bombed out. Where then is their credibility and where is the journalism in them, if after reporting on a story for that long and it turned out to be fake, yet they refused to take it back or at least apologize to the president for dragging his name and presidency through such a long nastiness. Their failure to make amends for the Russian Collusion imbecility negates the latest so called apology by O'Donnell for the false Deutsche Bank spoof.

As a result, his no apology apology is not accepted by Team MAGA because it is not from a contrite heart. The television network which did not apologize for the Russian Collusion witch hunt, which has since turned out to be fake, cannot in all goodness be said to truly apologize for yet another Deutsche Bank fake story. A better and proper way to go, would have been to first apologize for the Russian Collusion idiocy and then this latest hoax. That way, their viewers and all those on the other side of the argument who they maligned and impugned, would know that indeed, they were truly sincere and acted on honest belief that they were pursuing a credible story in the Russian Collusion. 

Therefore, Lawrence O'Donnell can and should take his apology and stuff it in his you know where, because it is not a product of a sincere mistake. It was not an error in judgment as he claimed because there was no judgment in what MSNBC and their Lawrence O'Donnell did and continues to do as it relates to their coverage of the president and his government. ICHEOKU says the latest Deutsche Bank story is just another vindication of President Donald John Trump continuing assertion that MSNBC is a FAKE NEWS outlet, alongside their sister in sleazy reporting channel, CNN. Lawrence O'Donnell is a frigging hateful soul who Trump lives rent free in his head. SAD.

BRETT STEPHENS: A BED BUG?

ICHEOKU says in fact he actually looks like a bed bug, the human type that is; which stealthily undermines other people and eats them hollow from the inside out. A two-faced person who pretends to be a friend before you, but sabotages you behind you. 

His type is who you will find in Facebook, in charge of vetoing what is acceptable to their "community" and who would readily block you because you expressed an opinion, which according to him, is  too mean spirited and does not agree with their "community" standards. But what constitutes their "community standards" is very subjective as there is no broad spectrum of a one cap fits all rule for this "standards." It becomes whatever they wake up to and deemed not compliant to their community standards; and they usually make it up as they go. 

This guy is a snowflake of some sort who cannot take a name calling and probably resorts to his mom for answers to life's problems, issues and challenges. ICHEOKU wonders why he did not even call his mom first for advise on what to do when somebody called him a bed bug. What a lousy fella who cannot take an ordinary joke. So what if he was called a bed bug or haven't so many other people been called worse names. 

Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton for example took it like a man, with firm understanding that boys don't cry. Little Marco Rubio did not react so much except to try and hit back with his small hands comment. Lying Ted never recoiled or pleaded for mercy and of course the irredeemable deplorables are still standing tall and waxing philosophically about 2020. Mike Cohen is a rat and he is still alive in prison, begging the question which part of planet earth did this guy come from, who could not take an ordinary joke or a roast. 

Such a linguine spine and he must have been home-schooled not to have been tortured by bullies or experienced the challenges of hazing while growing up. ICHEOKU too has been called names before and is still here; but that a journalist or rather a columnist who should be used to such metaphorical speak and who probably have used such secondary name figure of speech to refer to another person, was this sensitive to being called a bed bug, is indeed a  testament that this Generation Z millennials are a lost people who cannot take care of themselves if left alone. 

What a cry baby; a matter made worse because he had the false audacity to say that the "offending" professor should visit his home and call him a bed bug to his face and that he will take whatever words or language the professor might use without being offended. Query, if he cannot take an ordinary Twitter joke, how then could he stand being called the same name to his face and in his home, which offended him on Twitter. Something is definitely wrong with this fella's emotional fortitude for him to find being called a bed bug so offensive that he almost burst out crying because of the hurt feeling. 

How about President Donald John Trump who has been called all manners of unprintable names and he is still standing, strongly tall and headed to an almost assured reelection victory on November 3rd, 2020. But here is a 45 year old man, a husband and a father of three, crying because he was called a bed bug and you wonder how he would even defend the honor of his wife and kids if he is this girlie sissy male who is overtly offended for being called a bed bug. Bed bug is a universally used moniker for trouble makers. ICHEOKU agrees with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that Mister Bed Bug abused his position when he tried to get the professor fired over something "so insignificant" as being called a bed bug and that he could be so incensed that he was so called. 

Even if bed bug is not a metaphor, what triggered such a reaction in him must be something deeply seated in his memory. It is possible that someone had used those words before to refer to him and he found the professor's joke a cruel coincidence which validates his fears that there must be something about him or the way he looks that is bed bug like. Truth hurts and he felt that he actually is a bed bug and that the world knows that he is a bed bug. Imagine deactivating his Twitter account just because he was called a bed bug and it wasn't as if it was Twitter that called him a bed bug. A definite case of the chicken bending its neck for the stew pot that cooked it, instead of the knife that severed its head. 

ICHEOKU says Mister Bed Bug is definitely over sensitive and should find a dark dank hole to crawl into and hibernate for protection from the world. He has shown by his puerile reaction that he is not a big boy and is not made of a sterner stuff, hence undeserving of both his profession and position. Even CNN's Chris Fredo Cuomo losing his tops because he was called Fredo was not this bad. Mister Bed Bug Brett Stephens, ICHEOKU says hello.
