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.

LORETTA LYNCH IN A BIND, BILL CLINTON'S MEET A CATCH-22 HELLUVA?

Icheoku says Attorney General Loretta Elizabeth  Lynch has only one option, only way out of the hole in which she dug her self by her meeting with Bill Clinton. She should have known better as to the optics which her meeting with the husband of a woman under investigation by her justice department would cast and advised herself accordingly. But no, she forged ahead and now wants American people to believe that their meeting was merely innocuous. Icheoku says believe that at your own detriment to common sense reasoning, inference and deduction. 

The Attorney General must now have to assuage American peoples' fear that she and her department has not been compromised in their investigation of Crooked Hillary Clinton's email-gate scandal. She has to as a matter of fact bring an immediate indictment of the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and do it now. Nothing else will suffice and it does not even matter whether or not Hillary Clinton was found culpable or not prior to the meeting of Bill Clinton and the AG in Phoenix last week. What is more important now is the shadow of doubtful credibility which the meeting has cast on the ongoing investigation and the Attorney General must now act to clear that fog, including its apparent likelihood.

The appearance of impropriety is the controlling consideration now and anything short of Hillary Clinton's  indictment will be interpreted by the watching public as a necessary outcome of the pressure Bill Clinton brought to bear on the Attorney General. In law it is trite saying that justice must not only be done but must be seen to be apparently done; and this case is looking fogged up with every day passing by. Icheoku would be satisfied if an indictment was brought and the matter dismissed by the court for insufficiency of prosecutable evidence or overreaching. But to not indict Hillary Clinton will be an unacceptable outcome, especially since this ill advised infamous meeting of the Attorney General with Bill Clinton. 

Further Icheoku is not buying into the explanation by the Attorney General that their meeting was just to talk about their grandchildren and golf playing? Such fabulous story should be better left for the marines where they belong, as no rational thinking person would readily believe that Bill Clinton met privately with the Attorney General merely to exchange banters about family and pastime hobby. Were that the case, why did they seek an exclusive rendezvous in the confines of an airplane, instead of just doing so on the tarmac; and why did such exchange of pleasantries last for so long. What were they talking about and how long does it take to inquire about families and hobby? 

Anyway and regardless of the actual purpose of the meeting, Icheoku says it does not look good that a woman who is being investigated by the Justice Department had her husband meet with he head of the Justice Department and privately too. Nobody was there to attest to the veracity of the Attorney General's explanation and she was not under oath to speak truthfully when she gave her version of what transpired. Icheoku says it looks bad and if Hillary Clinton is not indicted, the inference would be there that justice was perverted. Conversely if she is indicted merely to satisfy the current hysteria created by the meeting and there is no grounds to otherwise hitherto do so, then an injustice would have been done to her. This leaves the Attorney General in a quandary, a sort of Catch-22 situation. However doing the later would be a more tolerable cost to the meeting with Bill Clinton, rather than the former, which will scream to high heavens that the Justice Department was compromised. So, Loretta Lynch, how do you plea?

Crooked Hillary Clinton Lie #2

HILLARY CLINTON, A COUNTERFEIT SUPERFICIAL PERSONALITY. - BRIAN BROWNE

Hillary Clinton’s words profess compassion. Her long resume pretends competence. Her deeds are the problem. Her accomplishments are more hollow than she would rather they be. This relegates her to argue the mere holding of office is sufficient accomplishment regardless of what occurred while there.
Because she has been around so long and has held many posts, we have been induced to believe her and believe in her. Yet, to believe in her is to believe she is what she is not. Secretary of State was the last major office she held. She turned the State Department into a place of erroneous policy as in Libya, Syrian and Ukraine. She treated the august department as her personal fiefdom. She proved to be a sly manager who mishandled sensitive public resources as if they were her own and treated the public trust as if nonexistent.
While Trump is a daylight assault with an axe, Clinton is a nocturnal bacillus whose attack comes subtly from within while our defenses are down and slumbering.
Hillary Clinton’s run for office has now become a moral dilemma for her allies. One cannot back her yet support good governance and the rule of law at the same time. In clinching the Democratic Party nomination, Clinton has achieved two firsts. She is the first woman to clinch the nomination of one of the two major parties. That a woman has done so is long overdue. That it is Clinton will be recorded as one of America’s bittersweet occurrences. It is to bestow a true honor on one of the most counterfeit personalities of this or any era.
She is also the first presidential candidate of any major party to enter the election race under criminal investigation for serious breaches of national security. As to which ‘’first’’ will history lay her greater remembrance looms as an open question.
For those unversed in diplomacy and national security matters, the storm about her use of a private email account and server seems unintelligible or petty. For those knowledgeable about American national security matters, what she did is of utmost seriousness; it was criminal in nature and should disqualify her for office. It reveals a frightening disdain for the rule of law and the intelligence of the people, both warning signs that democratic good governance may not be Clinton’s strong suit. I consider myself in this latter group.
This is important to all. If she can be so callous regarding the nation and the constitution she professes to love, grave dangers lurk for those nations that win her ire. Remember Clinton publicly joked about how Qaddafi was tortured and killed as if sodomizing then illegally executing an opposing leader is the stuff of jokes instead of the crime that it was. Such dark levity is unbefitting a world leader. In Libya, she pushed the Obama Administration to work in concert with regional terrorists to upend a secular leader who had long ago ceased being a threat to any measurable American interests. She championed this avenue more as a function of pique than of sage policy. After witnessing and joking about the destruction she, Clinton turned her back and left that nation to rot and ruin. If indicative of her purported competence, then we are in palpable trouble for the Libyan caper is a picture book example of foreign policy by guttural impulse.
Clinton has never encountered a war she did not like yet she has proven to be a truant housekeeper after the damage has been wrought. She has thirsted for every American war in the past twenty years. If she had her way, what happened in Libya would have repeated itself in Syria. Judging by her published emails, she pines for an excuse to war against Iran. Russian and American military might would be in nose-to-nose proximity on the steppes of the Ukraine due to her lack of geopolitical prudence and blind arrogance. A Clinton presidency is like to cart the world closer to a major war of untold consequence.
Because of the leadership and personality flaws the scandal reveals, perhaps a bit of explanation about the national security and legal implications underlying her email scandal may help the reader understand the gravity of Clinton’s derelictions. For this is not an artificial fuzz over the sloppy handling of inconsequential emails such as what friends exchange between themselves. This concerns the wanton and perhaps willful misuse of emails that contained some the nation’s most closely guarded national security considerations.
As Secretary of State, her official communications belong to the people and to the United States government, not to her. They were meant to be restricted to encrypted official channels for archival purposes and, more importantly, to safeguard information from foreign snooping. The use of a private server trashed both goals.
Clinton acted as if her want to control access to her official communications was of greater weight than the true ownership rights and national security concerns of the government that employed her. She acted as if the government was her agent and servant instead of the other way around. In treating sensitive government documents and work product as belonging exclusively to her, she behaved imperiously, like spoiled royalty doing the nation a favor rather than a citizen grateful for the privilege to serve her country.  The lack of character which she has exhibited in the matter is revealed in a quick examination of the claims she has made to dance around her culpability.
Claim 1: The State Department approved the private setup. This claim has proven bogus. In an official report, the Department claimed it never was asked to approve the private server and if so would not have done so. Clinton lied.
Claim 2: Her private arrangement was consistent with those of her predecessors. The only other Secretary to use a private email account was Colin Powell. However, he never contemplated a private server and did not exclusively use the private email account for official business. He also had the imprimatur of the Department for his limited use of private email. His rather limited official use of that account came during a completely different era regarding the use of emails for government business. At that time, the Department did not have an unclassified email system as during Clinton’s tenure. Again, she lied.
Claim 3: The private server and account were done merely for convenience purposes.She did not want to have to constantly flip between a government and a private system. This does not wash.  If she did not want to operate two systems, the wisest route would have been to opt for the government device solely.
For instance, she was prohibited from using her private device in her office because that office was considered highly classified space. Whenever she wanted to deal with emails during office hours, she had to leave her office suite. Thus, we are left with the incongruous sight of the Secretary walking about the building, followed by security and other officers, as she went to another room or floor to treat emails. This might have happened several times a day. This does not seem convenient. It does not even make sense. A government devise usable in the comfort of her office and at home would have been inherently easier and wiser.
Her staff even refused Department attempts to give her a government-issued secured device because they wanted to maintain Clinton’s privacy. The position is as indefensible as it is corrupt. She has no privacy right to hide official communications from the very government that employed her to handle those communications.
Even if she opted for the private route, convenience would have pointed to only the creation of a private account. Setting up a private server in her residence is actually significant extra work. There is only one plausible reason to resort to a private server: to control access to the material, in effect obscuring from government what belonged only to it. On this point, either she lied or her judgment is so obtuse that she should not be trusted again with high public office.
Claim 4: The server was secure because armed Secret Service men guarded the residence. Having an armed guard standing on the porch might prevent a physical assault against the location. Yet, it is beyond explanation how a gun at the front door deters a computer hacker who can accomplish his theft from the other side of the planet. A gun at the porch was no more a defense to hacking the infernal machine than putting an oar in the car helps a person drive cross a bridge over a wide river.
Sadly, her personal server was extremely vulnerable. Her network lacked encryption. For a brief period, it lacked even the firewall and other lower-level security features employed by medium and small private businesses that do not handle sensitive documents. Establishing her server in order to avoid government retention of her records seemed to be her sole concern. Her obligation to safeguard important information was treated as a damnable nuisance. Again, she has lied or exposed herself as a supreme dunce.
Claim 5: No wrong was committed because no document was marked classified. This is as disingenuous as an argument can get. When she became Secretary she underwent training about classified information. She signed a formal oath that classified information could be marked or unmarked and that the mishandling of such is a criminal violation. She went into the job with eyes open. She cannot now profess a dumb blindness.
What makes information classified are not the markings but the content. Documents are not classified just because they are marked so. They are marked so because they are classified. The classification arises from their substance. The markers just acknowledge what already exists.
Over 1000 emails she returned have been found to be classified. Refuting her claim that the documents were “retroactively classified,” there is no reasonable explanation that can be offered how such documents would be classified now but were not when initially transmitted. Sensitivity of a message generally moves in inverse relationship to the passage of time. The older the message, the less sensitive. For her to argue the emails were not then classified but now are lacks credence. She knows better than to make this argument but she makes it anyway.
Claim 6: She is innocent because she bore no criminal intent. Neither fact nor law gives her succor. Under the several applicable criminal statutes, she can be held feloniously liable for the wrongful and willful transmission of classified material or for being grossly negligent in the handling and storage of the same. There is ample intent of willful violations.  Roughly 20 emails have a classification of top secret or higher and over 60 as secret. Unless all of these 20 documents fit into a mitigating narrow exception that grave emergency dictated the use of the unclassified system, then at least two people committed a crime, the sender and serial receiver thereof, the latter being Clinton.
The sender would have to deliberately transfer information from a secured device to put on Clinton’s unsecured private network. Such a deliberate trespass has almost no defense and is clearly punishable. Clinton would have known this criminal process was being done for her benefit if not at her explicit behest. She condoned the misdeed over the course of her tenure. This is an intentional breach of national security, a felony. The penalty for this is a fine or up to 10 years imprisonment for each violation.
She also kept these emails on her unsecure private server for several years. By any objective legal measure, this would have to constitute the grossly negligent storage of classified material. To compound this, she placed the material on an unsecure thumb drive which is another violation.  She then gave the server and thumb drive to her attorney who lacked any security clearance. This comprises another set of violations. Worse, it seems that she also used two companies to monitor her server. These companies had no clearance, another set of violations.  One of the companies made back-up copies of the emails and stored them in an unsecured location, two more sets of violations. Keep in mind that every email, ranging from the 20 top secret to the over 1000 classified, is a distinct violation that carries a potential prison term of 10 years. You can figure the potential maximum time behind bars. My calculator does not count that high.
If America seeks to continue to portray itself before the world as the land of the rule of law, then it must apply the law fairly and equally even against its most favored and privileged citizens. The Clinton national security scandal will test the legal system in an open and blatant way. If she is allowed to walk, penalty free from her misconduct, then you should realize that the American legal system is an object of barter and that justice is considered a rare but not a valuable commodity. Already the major media outlets have been found out. They downplay the scandal because they work for the same big money, vast military establishment that brings us the Clintons. If Clinton is called to answer for what she has done, perhaps just perhaps the United States would have taken an important step in reasserting the destiny its noble documents and republican doctrines claim for the nation. Next week, we explore how all of this may undermine President Obama’s legacy if he fails to exercise judgment.

ISTANBUL ATATURK AIRPORT ATTACK, TIME FOR A FRESH MINDSET HAS COME.

Icheoku says enough should actually be enough for the policies that has not clipped the wings of ISIS these past few years. They have been striking with cursory ease from Europe to America and now again at Turkey and Icheoku asks when shall a differently new fresh mind address the issue. 

From all indications it has been shown that whatever President Barack Obama is doing, leading the effort against Muslim Islamic terrorism is not working; and to continue with the same failed policies through Hillary Clinton is not a winning option. America must pivot and pivot fast before they lose the following of the world, which has stood helplessly, waiting and watching to see America device a solution to the problem but to no avail; while its innocent citizens are continuously and systematically picked apart and dispatched to the world beyond. 

Icheoku says Donald Trump's more robust and decisive approach should be tried and lets see if he has the magic wand to permanently swath the nauseating Muslim terrorists out of existence or operational capabilities. Our heart goes out to Turkey, particularly the 36 killed and 147 wounded at Istanbul Ataturk airport terrorists attack today.

C.M. MGBODILE: GONE TOO SOON, REST IN PEACE NEDU.

Icheoku says to the sorrowful mother, please take solace in that Mary suffered similar fate when the lifeless body of her son Jesus was laid on her arms. At 32 years, he was just about the same age as Jesus who died at 33 years. Fortunately enough though, he planted a tree of life in his three year old son and in him, he genetically lives on. To the bereaved father, please take heart since to die is to continue to live in the hearts of those who love you; admitted he is gone but he is gone to rest and would continue to live in your heart forever. Nedu Junior is there to try and fill the vacuum created with his exit. To his siblings, it is a great pain for your aching grieving hearts, but Nedu did not chose to die, his maker called him back home. To all his friends, he will be looking after you from above and spiritually be still in your midst. 

What a life that withered away at such a prime and you wonder why; except that we mortals cannot question the ways of the Lord. As faithful believers, we are bound to accept it as ordained because the man above is on top and always knows best. He puts us here on his volition and he freely recalls us as he pleases and sees fit, no questions asked. This is how smart people mourn the loss of a loved one, because what we cannot change, we always pray for the strength to accept and live with it. If medicine and science would have made him recover from his ailment, his loving parents, family and friends showed they were prepared to make it happen. But despite the best care money could buy and in some of the best hospitals in the world, Nedu succumbed to his illness and is now gone to be with the Lord. Nedu died of subdural hematoma.

As for all those asking why him; query, why not him? If not him, who? Everybody is going to die and lucky are those who have people left behind to conduct their funerals and mourn their loss. As believers in the scriptures, people do not die but merely recalled for further assignments. Icheoku believes that the good Lord have something else more special scheduled for Nedu, hence his summon back home for necessary redeployment. Icheoku wishes him well and prays that the good Lord will find him worthy of honor and deserving of a nicer placement. To the bereaved family and friends, please take heart and find strength in the scriptures and remember not to mourn like the faithless. Adieu Nedu.

BREXIT: BRITISH PEOPLE PULLS OUT OF EUROPEAN UNION, HURRAY.

Icheoku says what the heck did those who campaigned for a stay want to achieve by willingly sacrificing their independence at the alter of a none working union. An European Union that is united in name only is not worth losing anyone's identity for; so the valiant British people were right in courageously pulling the trigger to fire their rocket out of the EU and back to their island country. Amalgamation of disparate peoples, who have been independent for several centuries and who are passionately independent of each other, cannot work. 

Therefore the very significant step taken by Britain today in pulling out of the European Union, signifies the ungluing of the union and it will unravel from here until its eventual complete total break up.  Icheoku says if those Europeans seriously want a united Europe, they must be prepared to surrender their respective political and identity nationalism to the union and then begin afresh the process of building a nation out of the many nationalities that constitute Europe. Thankfully, the pulling out was done through a peaceful referendum and one wonders and hopes that Biafra/Nigeria unholy wedlock, could be so similarly resolved. 

One derivable lesson from the out vote is that the people are rebelling against their governments. It happened in the Philippines when they voted for a crime fighting nationalist as president and now in Britain where the people have voted to opt out of a union that is not working efficiently. It will happen in America in November when the American people will reject politics as usual and vote in Donald John Trump as their 45th POTUS. Icheoku says being good neighbors is always preferable to being roommates; that way acceptable distance of respectability is maintained and it also helps to sustain such friendship. Britain have come a long way and having survived this long, will still thrive, riding alone, regardless. 

With a vote differential of (1,269,501) one million, two hundred and sixty nine thousand, five hundred and one votes, the get out of European Union votes tally of 17,410,742 trumped the stay in Europe's 16,141,241 votes.  A total of 33,577,342 British people cast their votes in the referendum. Icheoku says if taking back one's country is a crime, Americans are anxiously waiting to become criminals in November, when they will unanimously vote for Donald Trump to help make their country great again. And to take their country back, they must first have to secure their boarders. Let everyone who enters be counted and registered, to help keep the number within the provisions available. Icheoku says congratulations to the British people for showing up and manning up; now they have their country back and may the kumbaya never cease but continue. Way to go, Brits.

DONALD TRUMP, A MAN WITH GREAT OPTIMISM IS GOOD FOR AMERICA.

Today I‘d like to share my thoughts about the stakes in this election.
People have asked me why I am running for President.
I have built an amazing business that I love and I get to work side-by-side with my children every day.
We come to work together and turn visions into reality.
We think big, and then we make it happen.
I love what I do, and I am grateful beyond words to the nation that has allowed me to do it.
So when people ask me why I am running, I quickly answer: I am running to give back to this country which has been so good to me.
When I see the crumbling roads and bridges, or the dilapidated airports, or the factories moving overseas to Mexico, or to other countries, I know these problems can all be fixed, but not by Hillary Clinton – only by me.
The fact is, we can come back bigger and better and stronger than ever before --Jobs, jobs, jobs!
Everywhere I look, I see the possibilities of what our country could be. But we can’t solve any of these problems by relying on the politicians who created them.
We will never be able to fix a rigged system by counting on the same people who rigged it in the first place.
The insiders wrote the rules of the game to keep themselves in power and in the money.
That’s why we’re asking Bernie Sanders’ voters to join our movement: so together we can fix the system for ALL Americans. Importantly, this includes fixing all of our many disastrous trade deals.
Because it’s not just the political system that’s rigged. It’s the whole economy.
It’s rigged by big donors who want to keep down wages.
It’s rigged by big businesses who want to leave our country, fire our workers, and sell their products back into the U.S. with absolutely no consequences for them.
It’s rigged by bureaucrats who are trapping kids in failing schools.
It’s rigged against you, the American people.
Hillary Clinton who, as most people know, is a world class liar –
just look at her pathetic email and server statements, or her phony landing in Bosnia where she said she was under attack but the attack turned out to be young girls handing her flowers, a total self-serving lie.
Brian Williams’ career was destroyed for saying far less.
Yesterday, she even tried to attack me and my many businesses. But here is the bottom line: I started off in Brooklyn New York, not so long ago, with a small loan and built a business worth over 10 billion dollars. I have always had a talent for building businesses and, importantly, creating jobs. That is a talent our country desperately needs.
I am running for President to end the unfairness and to put you, the American worker, first.
We are going to put America First, and we are going to Make America Great again.
This election will decide whether we are ruled by the people, or by the politicians.
Here is my promise to the American voter:
If I am elected President, I will end the special interest monopoly in Washington, D.C.
The other candidate in this race has spent her entire life making money for special interests – and taking money from special interests.
Hillary Clinton has perfected the politics of personal profit and theft.
She ran the State Department like her own personal hedge fund – doing favors for oppressive regimes, and many others, in exchange for cash.
Then, when she left, she made $21.6 million giving speeches to Wall Street banks and other special interests – in less than 2 years – secret speeches that she does not want to reveal to the public.
Together, she and Bill made $153 million giving speeches to lobbyists, CEOs, and foreign governments in the years since 2001.
They totally own her, and that will never change.
The choice in this election is a choice between taking our government back from the special interests, or surrendering our last scrap of independence to their total and complete control.
Those are the stakes.
Hillary Clinton wants to be President. But she doesn't have the temperament, or, as Bernie Sanders' said, the judgement, to be president.
She believes she is entitled to the office.
Her campaign slogan is “I’m with her.”
You know what my response to that is? I’m with you: the American people.
She thinks it’s all about her.
I know it’s all about you – I know it’s all about making America Great Again for All Americans.
Our country lost its way when we stopped putting the American people first.
We got here because we switched from a policy of Americanism – focusing on what’s good for America’s middle class – to a policy of globalism, focusing on how to make money for large corporations who can move their wealth and workers to foreign countries all to the detriment of the American worker and the American economy.
We reward companies for offshoring, and we punish companies for doing business in America and keeping our workers employed.
This is not a rising tide that lifts all boats.
This is a wave of globalization that wipes out our middle class and our jobs.
We need to reform our economic system so that, once again, we can all succeed together, and America can become rich again.
That’s what we mean by America First.
Our country will be better off when we start making our own products again, bringing our once great manufacturing capabilities back to our shores.
Our Founders understood this.
One of the first major bills signed by George Washington called for “the encouragement and protection of manufactur[ing]” in America.
Our first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, warned us by saying:
“The abandonment of the protective policy by the American government will produce want and ruin among our people.”
I have visited the cities and towns across America and seen the devastation caused by the trade policies of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton supported Bill Clinton’s disastrous NAFTA, just like she supported China’s entrance into the World Trade Organization.
We’ve lost nearly one-third of our manufacturing jobs since these two Hillary-backed agreements were signed.
Our trade deficit with China soared 40% during Hillary Clinton’s time as Secretary of State -- a disgraceful performance for which she should not be congratulated, but rather scorned.
Then she let China steal hundreds of billions of dollars in our intellectual property – a crime which is continuing to this day.
Hillary Clinton gave China millions of our best jobs, and effectively let China completely rebuild itself.
In return, Hillary Clinton got rich!
The book Clinton Cash, by Peter Schweitzer, documents how Bill and Hillary used the State Department to enrich their family at America’s expense.
She gets rich making you poor.
Here is a quote from the book: “At the center of US policy toward China was Hillary Clinton…at this critical time for US-china relations, Bill Clinton gave a number of speeches that were underwritten by the Chinese government and its supporters.”
These funds were paid to the Clinton bank account while Hillary was negotiating with China on behalf of the United States.
She sold out our workers, and our country, for Beijing.
Hillary Clinton has also been the biggest promoter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which will ship millions more of our jobs overseas – and give up Congressional power to an international foreign commission.
Now, because I have pointed out why it would be such a disastrous deal, she is pretending that she is against it. She has even deleted this record of total support from her book – deletion is something she is very good at -- (at least 30,000 emails are missing.)
But this latest Clinton cover-up doesn’t change anything: if she is elected president, she will adopt the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and we will lose millions of jobs and our economic independence for good. She will do this, just as she has betrayed the American worker on trade at every single stage of her career – and it will be even worse than the Clintons’ NAFTA deal.
I want trade deals, but they have to be great for the United States and our workers.
We don't make great deals anymore, but we will once I become president.
It’s not just our economy that’s been corrupted, but our foreign policy too.
The Hillary Clinton foreign policy has cost America thousands of lives and trillions of dollars – and unleashed ISIS across the world.
No Secretary of State has been more wrong, more often, and in more places than Hillary Clinton.
Her decisions spread death, destruction and terrorism everywhere she touched.
Among the victims is our late Ambassador, Chris Stevens. He was left helpless to die as Hillary Clinton soundly slept in her bed -- that's right, when the phone rang at
3 o'clock in the morning, she was sleeping.
Ambassador Stevens and his staff in Libya made hundreds of requests for security.
Hillary Clinton’s State Department refused them all.
She started the war that put him in Libya, denied him the security he asked for, then left him there to die.
To cover her tracks, Hillary lied about a video being the cause of his death.
Here is what one of the victim’s mothers had to say:
“I want the whole world to know it: she lied to my face, and you don’t want this person to be president.”
In 2009, before Hillary Clinton was sworn in, it was a different world. 

Libya was cooperating.
Iraq was seeing a reduction in violence.
Syria was under control.
Iran was being choked by sanctions.
Egypt was governed by a friendly regime that honored its peace treaty with Israel.
ISIS wasn’t even on the map.
Fast forward to 2013: In just four years, Secretary Clinton managed
to almost single-handedly destabilize the entire Middle East.
Her invasion of Libya handed the country over to the ISIS barbarians.
Thanks to Hillary Clinton, Iran is now the dominant Islamic power in the Middle East, and on the road to nuclear weapons.
Hillary Clinton’s support for violent regime change in Syria has thrown the country into one of the bloodiest civil wars anyone has ever seen – while giving ISIS a launching pad for terrorism against the West.
She helped force out a friendly regime in Egypt and replace it with the radical Muslim Brotherhood. The Egyptian military has retaken control, but Clinton has opened the Pandora’s box of radical Islam. 

Then, there was the disastrous strategy of announcing our departure date from Iraq, handing large parts of the country over to ISIS killers.
ISIS threatens us today because of the decisions Hillary Clinton has made.
ISIS also threatens peaceful Muslims across the Middle East, and peaceful Muslims across the world, who have been terribly victimized by horrible brutality – and who only want to raise their kids in peace and safety.
In short, Hillary Clinton’s tryout for the presidency has produced one deadly foreign policy disaster after another.
It all started with her bad judgment in supporting the War in Iraq in the first place.
Though I was not in government service, I was among the earliest to criticize
the rush to war, and yes, even before the war ever started.
But Hillary Clinton learned nothing from Iraq, because when she got into power,
she couldn’t wait to rush us off to war in Libya.
She lacks the temperament, the judgment and the competence to lead.
In the words of a Secret Service agent posted outside the Oval Office:
“She simply lacks the integrity and temperament to serve
in the office…from the bottom of my soul, I know this to be true…Her leadership style – volcanic, impulsive…disdainful of the rules set for everyone else – hasn’t changed a bit.”
Perhaps the most terrifying thing about Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy is that she refuses to acknowledge the threat posed by Radical Islam.
In fact, Hillary Clinton supports a radical 550% increase in Syrian refugees coming into the United States, and that's an increase over President Obama's already very high number.
Under her plan, we would admit hundreds of thousands of refugees from the most dangerous countries on Earth – with no way to screen who they are or what they believe.
Already, hundreds of recent immigrants and their children have been convicted of terrorist activity inside the U.S.
The father of the Orlando shooter was a Taliban supporter from Afghanistan, one of the
most repressive anti-gay and anti-women regimes on Earth.
I only want to admit people who share our values and love our people.
Hillary Clinton wants to bring in people who believe women should be enslaved
and gays put to death.
Maybe her motivation lies among the more than 1,000 foreign donations Hillary failed to disclose while at the State Department.
Hillary Clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency.
Here is some more of what we learned from the book,
Clinton Cash:
A foreign telecom giant faced possible State Department sanctions for providing technology to Iran, and other oppressive regimes. So what did this company do? For the first time ever, they decided to pay Bill Clinton $750,000 for a single speech. The Clintons got their cash, the telecom company escaped sanctions.
Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved the transfer of 20% of America’s uranium holdings to Russia, while 9 investors in the deal funneled $145 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Hillary Clinton appointed a top donor to a national security board with top secret access – even though he had no national security credentials.
Hillary Clinton accepted $58,000 in jewelry from the government of Brunei when she was Secretary of State – plus millions more for her foundation. The Sultan of Brunei has pushed oppressive Sharia law, including the punishment of death by stoning for being gay. The government of Brunei also stands to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Hillary’s Trans-Pacific Partnership, which she would absolutely approve if given the chance.
Hillary Clinton took up to $25 million from Saudi Arabia, where being gay is also punishable by death.
Hillary took millions from Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and many other countries that horribly abuse women and LGBT citizens.
To cover-up her corrupt dealings, Hillary Clinton illegally stashed her State Department emails on a private server.
Her server was easily hacked by foreign governments – perhaps even by her financial backers in Communist China – putting all of America in danger.
Then there are the 33,000 emails she deleted.
While we may not know what is in those deleted emails, our enemies probably do.
So they probably now have a blackmail file over someone who wants to be President of the United States.
This fact alone disqualifies her from the Presidency.
We can’t hand over our government to someone whose deepest, darkest secrets may be in the hands of our enemies.
National security is also immigration security –
and Hillary wants neither.
Hillary Clinton has put forward the most radical immigration platform in the history of the United States.
She has pledged to grant mass amnesty and in her first 100 days, end virtually all immigration enforcement, and thus create totally open borders in the United States
The first victims of her radical policies will be poor African-American and Hispanic workers who need jobs. They are the ones she will hurt the most.
Let me share with you a letter our campaign received from Mary Ann Mendoza.
She lost her amazing son, Police Sergeant Brandon Mendoza, after he was killed by an illegal immigrant because of the open borders policies supported by Hillary Clinton.
Sadly, the Mendoza family is just one of thousands who have suffered the same fate.
Here is an excerpt from Mrs. Mendoza’s letter:
“Hillary Clinton, who already has the blood of so many on her hands, is now announcing that she is willing to put each and every one of our lives in harms’ way – an open door policy to criminals and terrorists to enter our country. Hillary is not concerned about you or I, she is only concerned about the power the presidency would bring to her. She needs to go to prison to pay for the crimes she has already committed against this country.”
Hillary also wants to spend hundreds of billions to resettle Middle Eastern refugees in the United States, on top of the current record level of immigration.
For the amount of money Hillary Clinton would like to spend on refugees, we could rebuild every inner city in America.
Hillary’s Wall Street immigration agenda will keep immigrant communities poor, and unemployed Americans out of work. She can’t claim to care about African-American and Hispanic workers when she wants to bring in millions of new low-wage workers
to compete against them.
Here are a few things a Trump Administration will do for America in the first 100 days:
Appoint judges who will uphold the Constitution. Hillary Clinton’s radical judges will virtually abolish the 2nd amendment.
Change immigration rules to give unemployed Americans an opportunity to fill good-paying jobs
Stand up to countries that cheat on trade, of which there are many
Cancel rules and regulations that send jobs overseas
Lift restrictions on energy production
Repeal and replace job-killing Obamacare -- it is a disaster.
Pass massive tax reform to create millions of new jobs.
Impose tough new ethics rules to restore dignity to the Office of Secretary of State.
There is one common theme in all of these reforms.
It’s going to be America First.
This is why the stakes in November are so great.
On election day, the politicians stand trial before the people.
The voters are the jury. Their ballots are the verdict. We don’t need or want another Clinton or Obama.
Come November, the American people will have a chance to issue a verdict on the politicians that have sacrificed their security, betrayed their prosperity, and sold out
their country.
They will have a chance to vote for a new agenda with big dreams, bold ideas and enormous possibilities for the American people.
Hillary Clinton’s message is old and tired. Her message is that can’t change.
My message is that things have to change – and this is our one chance do it. This is our last chance to do it.
Americans are the people that tamed the West, that dug out the Panama Canal, that sent satellites across the solar system, that built the great dams, and so much more.
Then we started thinking small.
We stopped believing in what America could do, and became reliant on other countries, other people, and other institutions.
We lost our sense of purpose, and daring.
But that’s not who we are.
Come this November, we can bring America back – bigger and better, and stronger than ever.
We will build the greatest infrastructure on the planet earth – the roads and railways and airports of tomorrow.
Our military will have the best technology and finest equipment – we will bring it back all the way.
Massive new factories will come roaring into our country – breathing life and hope into our communities.
Inner cities, which have been horribly abused by Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party, will finally be rebuilt.
Construction is what I know -- nobody knows it better.
The real wages for our workers have not been raised for 18 years -- but these wages will start going up, along with the new jobs. Hillary’s massive taxation, regulation and open borders will destroy jobs and drive down wages for everyone. 

We are also going to be supporting our police and law enforcement -- we can never forget the great job they do.
I am also going to appoint great Supreme Court Justices.
Our country is going to start working again.
People are going to start working again.
Parents are going to start dreaming big for their children again – including parents in our inner cities.
Americans are going to start believing in the future or our country.
We are going to make America rich again.
We are going to make America safe again.
We are going to make America Great Again – and Great Again For EVERYONE.

OMAR MIR SEDDIQUE MATEEN, THE BLOODY BEAST OF PULSE ORLANDO.





Icheoku says William Shakespeare was right that there is no way to know a mind's construction by the face; and so it was that this innocent looking girlie-man, mastermind of the worst mass shooting massacre in the United States of America in recent history, could not have been a typical suspect. But he was cold and had a cold hatred-filled heart of stone and he murdered and murdered until the police took him out. Icheoku says it shall not be well with him and may he rot in hell for taking the lives of innocent fun loving Americans who were just minding their own business. What a jackass monster.

OMAR MATEEN OF ISIS, STRIKES TERROR IN ORLANDO GAY CLUB PULSE.

Icheoku says again these islamic terrorists have had their way with America, killing fifty and wounding another fifty three Americans, inside a gay night club, Pulse,in Orlando Florida. The worst mass casualty gun attack in the United States of America in recent recorded history and somewhat a 9/11 Version 2.0 Icheoku says one of the greatest surprise of it all is that the president of the United States of America, President Barack Hussein Obama, has refused to name this devil in order to shame it and you wonder whose side is he on anyway? 

Icheoku agrees with Sarah Palin that "the solution to this problem begins with first properly identifying and acknowledging this threat, Islamic terrorism. Icheoku says without second guessing whatever is tying the president's hands, it is condemnable that any other thing or consideration should be paramount and weighs greater in the mind of the president, regarding a terrorist massacre of tens of innocent reveling, party going gays, who were simply celebrating their pride. Icheoku says apparently the only viable hope and solution to the problem is the incoming President Donald John Trump presidency.  This will enable Americans to try a new approach in this never ending war against Islamic terrorism. A war which has been going on for more than fifteen years now and which seemed to have worsened this past eight years cannot just be allowed to continue to fester. Therefore, it is about time the problem is looked at with a different set of eyes and different thinking brought to bear in approaching the problem and finally inventing a result-orientated solution thereto. 

What a manner of people are these Muslims that would be allowed into this country only for them to try to overawe the people and forcefully trying to impose their way of life on us.  If they loved their Islamic sharia way of life, why did they leave their original Islamic enclaves to come here and do us harm? If their women love to wear their masquerade looking burkha, why did they leave their burkha wearing enclaves in the Middle East to come here and give us trouble. If they love their religion so much why did they all not move back to Mecca and continue to worship their Allah from there. But unfortunately, political correctness has intervened and now things are gradually falling apart in our dear USA. Icheoku has nothing against anyone coming to America, but regrets that these immigrants are coming for the wrong reason. Why must they bring their excess baggage with them and force us to accommodate them? 

There are so many things Western, which are not and cannot be tolerated in their Middle East enclaves, but they always want us to accommodate their; and you wonder where is the reciprocity. Icheoku says enough of these vermin and if these guys want to be here, they must be here as full Americans but nothing less. What a pity that knee jerk policies of these politicians have led to another Islamic terrorist strike in our dear country. Please America, this appeasement policy on Islamic terrorists is not working and therefore must end. It is about time America tried the Donald Trump's policy of total war on Islamic terrorism. A full throttle approach is the only solution to this problem; and in order to completely annihilate the source that produces these animals and get it over with once and for all. Nothing else seems to have worked nor would work, as these urchins see the ongoing approach as weakness. They have thick skins and Saddam Hussein understood this and kept them under check for almost thirty five years. Rest in peace Orlando prides.
