JEFFREY EPSTEIN: JUMPED OR WAS PUSHED?

ICHEOKU says in a high powered intrigues-filled world, where many have been killed for less, killing an already trapped quarry wouldn't be that much a difficult task to pull off. Here was a man who had attempted suicide once and should have been on a 24/7 suicide watch, but suddenly succeeded in killing himself and inside the same facility where he was being held and supposedly under a suicide watch. 

ICHEOKU says what exactly happened can only be unraveled through a thorough forensic investigation, as anything short of that will amount to a continuing cover up of the decision to get rid of Jeff and with it, bury every other scandal arising from the sex scandal which implicated the high and mighty of the society. A matter made so appalling because he "killed" himself so soon following the revelation of the many powerful men who were implicated in the sex scandal including a member of the British royal family Prince Andrew, New Mexico former Governor Bill Richardson the United States Ambassador to the United Nations and Energy Secretary under Bill Clinton, Maine Senator George Mitchell. 

So, is it possible that Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself but was a victim of a conspiracy to silence him and make him a never to be available witness? Who had something to gain with Jeff out of the picture and were there video cameras tuned on him recording his every move. Something does not seemingly add up here when a prison under suicide watch in a facility succeeded in still killing himself. Regardless of the enormity of his crimes, it is not sufficient that he died as there were so many unknowns the country would have wished a trial would have throw more lights on. As Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar rightly said and ICHEOKU agrees, 'it is not enough that a bad guy died, as there were other bad guys involved in the sexual abuse saga." Who are these bad fellas who were on the Jeff Epstein Lolita joyride. But now, without the main accused person being present, how far the investigation would go is but anyone's guess. 

ICHEOKU says but why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself instead of taking a chance at trial and with the best criminal defense lawyers money could procure, hope for a successful defense. OJ Simpson beat two murders rap and sexual molestation is definitely a lesser offense than murder; so a verdict of acquittal was a possibility. Moreso, he could have waited until the whole process exhausts itself and if an undesirable verdict results, then end his life if that is what he really wanted to do. But now, Jeffrey is gone and never to be heard from again; and you wonder if all the troubles he went through getting rich, only to now die like a dog, was worth effort afterall. But yes, the preacher in Ecclesiastes 1:2 was right that all is vanity. Jeffrey Epstein was 66 years. May his soul now rest.

MARK ZUCKERBERG: UNBAN THE BANNED!

ICHEOKU says Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg is gradually morphing into a full blown dictator, but will Americans accept that? Selectively banning from Facebook people with different viewpoints is not good nor healthy for a pluralistic society with diversity of human beings and diverse viewpoints. In the ongoing battle of ideology, there must be a level playing field and not one unfairly rigged by social media for a predetermined outcome.

DAYTON OHIO SHOOTER CONNOR BETTS: ANOTHER ANGRY AMERICAN.

ICHEOKU says why are there so many angry Americans willing to take out their hurt on others by killing innocent Americans at the slightest tip over. ICHEOKU is emphatic that political ideology has nothing to do with it, neither is the availability of guns the primary driver. These lunatics are hurting, angry and easily tipped over; and have no compunction in taking it out on defenseless citizens. It Is about time we as a people stopped making excuses or solely blaming the NRA for the senseless acts of some deranged sadists and admit that a lot of Americans are hurting and mentally damaged. 

What creates the level of hurt in these people that they would go about killing innocent people is beyond ICHEOKU. Why are they this so mad? May be the media and Hollywood could tone it down a notch and stop sensationalizing of their programmings as well as excessive violence in their movies, which only works up people, instead of merely informing them. The media and Hollywood, instead of just finding some politicians to scapegoat for all these shootings, should learn to take some responsibility for their part in it and join hands in finding a solution or at least some reduction thereto. 

The unending carnage is not solely because of the NRA or availability of guns, but has something to do with too much anger and hatred in the land. People are just worked up, angry and looking to take it out on others. ICHEOKU is emphatic that even if all the guns in America are taken away, these misfits will still find a way to commit their heinous acts, including somehow securing guns from somewhere. America is bleeding and it is about time everyone came together to try and resolve the crisis, especially cheap politicians who are always seeking to mine such a tragedy for political gains. 

Beto O'Rourke was blaming the president's rhetoric for the El Paso shooting but hasn't similarly blamed anyone's rhetoric for the Dayton Ohio shooter who killed 9 and wounded 27 in a bar. His taciturnity came probably after he learnt that the Dayton Ohio shooter was a register Democrat who supports Elizabeth Warren, ANTIFA and agrees with Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in America turning into a socialist country. This is the risk anyone runs in seeking to make unnecessary political gains out of such national tragedies. Enough of these wastage of American lives.

EL PASO SHOOTER PATRICK CRUSIUS: WHEN ANGER EATS YOU UP.

ICHEOKU says what anger can do to somebody, hollow him out from the inside, turning him into a hateful mass murderer; who threw reason to the air, killing 20 people and injuring 26 others. It is sad and it is inexplicable; but why some Americans are so angry and easily irritable that they readily resort to murderous rage is simply incomprehensible. 

So, as we continue to discuss sensible gun control measures as well as the role NRA has to play in its success, it will also be nice to put focus on people's psychology and overall mental health. Why are people so angry and easily irritable, that they often take vengeance on innocent people. It is awfully pitiful. 

ICHEOKU says may the souls of the 20 El Paso killed now rest and wishes the 26 injured and hospitalized, speedy recovery. May justice take its course in bringing Patrick Crusius to justice; admitted that no amount of punishment, including 20 death penalties, can atone for his calamitous act, not even a death by a thousand cuts. What a human debris.

ELIZABETH WARREN: STILL THE STRONGEST CANDIDATE

ICHEOKU says the outcome-determined  polling, which places Joe Biden on the front burner notwithstanding, the Democratic Party must bite the bullet and pick a candidate who stands some chance of mounting a serious contention for the presidency in 2020 or at least would acquit   himself or herself well, trying. 

The Democrats must allow the process to pick a winner and not mire it down as they did in 2016 with Hillary Clinton's selection over the more populist Bernie Sanders. A repeat of 2016 must not be tolerated in 2020, otherwise the same result will be had. 

The pack of twenty candidates have just completed their second debate and only the Senator from the great State of Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren, has proved herself very capable of taking a serious shot at the presidency 2020. Democrats must therefore forget their old book of politicking and try something new, refreshing and exciting; by fielding a feminist female extraordinaire who is not shy nor afraid to get down on the mat and battle it out with the president. 

Elizabeth Warren checked all the departments of the big umbrella Democratic Party, especially the new paradigm, going into the 2020 presidential election. She is a female, she is a feminist, she is a white woman, she is educated, she debates quite well, she is a progressive and she is a fighter. All that is left for the Democratic Party to do, is to persuade John Delaney to pair up with her as a vice presidential candidate. 

Progressivism is the new thinking in the Democratic Party, as the core base of the party wants a forward looking candidate to lead the fight. The Democratic Party honchos must not let its base of support down by going backward with Joe Biden, because if they do, they will be punished with a rejection at the poll. Americans are a futuristic people and they do not like to go back and lick up their vomit. Joe Biden is in the past, he belongs in ancient history and should be left in the rearview mirror of American politics where he rightly now belongs. A retirement is quite in order for the good old Joe, the boy from Scranton and Amtrak riding Senator from the great State of Delaware.

However, the only issue ICHEOKU sees with such an Elizabeth Warren's headship of the ticket is that it will shut out the black minority, which is a strong support base and huge component part of the Democratic Party. This is partly why Hilary Clinton lost the presidency in 2016, because, against all advice, she refused to pick black Cory Booker as her vice presidential candidate and blacks stayed out the election because they felt they had no dog in the fight. To win, the Democratic Party must present a team that would energize black voters and make them turn out en-masse to vote. Also, if Elizabeth Warren  settles for a black male vice presidential candidate, white men will feel slighted that they were completely left out and will vote against her or stay out the election to register their anger. 

This is the only threatening issue to Elizabeth Warren's presidential candidacy as the Democratic Party has become so compartmentalized, that every constituent part of its membership is fiercely striving for a seat at the table. So, an all white ticket will not satisfy nor be acceptable to black people and Elizabeth being a minority female, cannot afford to run a two minorities team. The challenge of the Democratic Party is how to effectively balance the various competing interests on a ticket, without causing a major fractious crisis within the party. 

Kamala Harris would have been a "perfect" candidate because she checked all the markers as well, including being black; but she cannot win the primaries and her chances at defeating the president is nearly none existent. Americans are afraid of her, she has anger issues and Americans are not ready for another minority president, at least not now. ICHEOKU says provided Joe Biden is not coronated as Hillary Clinton was in 2016 and imposed on the party, it will surely be an exciting election campaign 2020 to watch and closely follow.

PASS THE TORCH AND DO IT NOW!

ICHEOKU says to the two great grandfathers, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, they should please know that their moment in the sun has since passed. They should allow the next generation of leaders to emerge and lead the Democratic Party. Pouring an old wine in a new skin never works and will not work; enough of the clinging to power and disruption of much needed transfer of power to the next generation. They must please withdraw their participation in the Democratic Party's presidential nomination process, because it is not reserved for a Council of Elders. They should allow the young to grow, by passing the torch now.

JOE BIDEN: CHOOSING HIM, A BIG MISTAKE.

ICHEOKU says the Democratic Party will be daft and strategically unthinking to so do. But unfortunately, it is steadily looking like Joe Biden will be the it, the candidate of inevitability. It is apparently the same old script which the party used in 2016 when they foist Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton on the party that they have dusted up once again and trying to use it to midwife Joe Biden's candidacy. This is a classical definition of insanity, repeatedly doing the same thing while expecting a different outcome. If it did not work then with Hillary Clinton in 2016, why does the party think that it will work now with Joe Biden. 

A Joe Biden who could not attract up to 5,000 people to his presidential campaign launch event in his own native home Scranton, is who the Democrats now want Americans to believe will defeat a president who regularly attracts close to 25,000 people to his campaign events. It is definitely an interesting perspective, except that it will require the suspension of disbelief to accept the illogicality of their argument that the multitude of people who throng President Donald John Trump's political events, will suddenly make a somersault and switch sides, and vote differently come Election Day November 3rd, 2020. 

The Democrats are needlessly attaching too much importance to name recognition, practically the sole reason they think that Joe Biden is the most formidable candidate to take on President Donald John Trump in 2020. But they selectively forgot that Hillary Clinton had a more recognizable name than Joe Biden; ditto Jeb Bush, but both were roundly defeated by the president. If the two well recognized individuals were demolished by the president, despite their storied names, it shows that name recognition is not everything. Therefore, what chance does a weak and fledgling old Joe Biden stand against the president in 2020, his recognized name notwithstanding. 

ICHEOKU says at best minimal; hence name recognition should not be the controlling authority in choosing a presidential candidate for the Democratic Party in 2020. The Democrats should go for a more youthful, more vibrant, more vivacious and more feisty individual who could command the attention of the American people and who could in actuality give the president a run for his money. Joe Biden does not possess any of the listed items more than the rest of the other 19 candidates; admitted none of them will defeat the president in 2020. None of the 20 candidates has what it will take to defeat the president; the president looms larger than life and towers far above all of the competitors. 

But Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was right that going backwards is not an option; and except the Democratic Party nominates a futuristic change candidate, with a forward-looking agenda, the party will again lose the next election in 2020 to President Donald John Trump. The reason the government is broken and highly dysfunctional is that those who have been running the government for far too long, such as Joe Biden, who was first elected to Washington DC in 1972, a preeminent political dinosaur of Washington DC, are still clinging to power. They broke the government, yet they have refused to step aside, move away to make way, for people with can do spirit to help fix the government. 

Just ask yourself what does Joe Biden still need by seeking yet another Washington DC government job, after having Washington DC government job for nearly half a century. The only possible explanation is that it is a power drunk move, by an establishment elite, who feels like fish out of water without being in power. Then a follow up question, what exactly is Joe Biden planning to do now, which the past 47 years did not provide, enable, yield or afford him the opportunity to do. The answer is nothing really. 

ICHEOKU says what is even so uplifting and worth clamoring for in old Joe Biden, which will make him attractive to the electorates, that the Democratic Party thinks would make them want to vote to elect him their president. What different message, short of "I hate Trump's guts", will Joe Biden bring in 2020 that will make the American people, who previously rejected the Obama/Biden policies in 2016, when they voted to elect President Donald John Trump president, now want to gravitate back to him. What has changed between 2016 and 2020 for the Democrats to now think that Joe Biden is the it, the acceptable darling of the American voting public. 

ICHEOKU says except job performance of an incumbent president is no longer a factor and there will be no presidential campaigns and debates, the Democrats seemingly are not feeling the pulse of the American people correctly. Otherwise, the indicators and barometers are there that President Donald John Trump will be reelected on November 3rd, 2020. As one poled individual once said, "Joe Biden is Hillary Clinton 2.0 and nominating him will be the worst mistake the Democratic Party will ever make going into the presidential election 2020." ICHEOKU completely agrees and urges the Democratic Party to save themselves another teary eyes on November 3rd, 2020 by being proactive now. Say no to Joe Biden. Tell Joe Biden to #PassTheTorch.

THE BALTIMORE TWEET: NOT RACIST.

ICHEOKU says does not think that the president's tweet concerning the Congressman from Baltimore, Elijah Cummings, is racist; nor did he tweet it with racism on his mind. It is only that people have mastered the art of attacking the messenger, rather than addressing the message in order to parry away issues which they would rather not discuss nor engage in. A very distractive, change the subject, ploy and approach to issues; a readily available clever tool in the hands of politicians, who are often times averse to being called out and would do whatever it takes to change the subject. The issue should have been whether the president's tweet was true that the Congressman's district is in a parlous condition and not that the president said it, needless to turn it into a racial issue. 

Probably, Baltimoreans, especially their politicians, were mad that the president brought a global attention to the squalid state of affairs in their city and publicly shamed them. They would rather nobody knew the actual state of affairs in their city and it being made so public by President Donald John Trump put them in a bad light, as another failed liberal city of America. Their angst was not because what the president tweeted was not true; otherwise they have since invited the media to walk them through the neighborhoods. It was not also because the president falsely accused Baltimorean Congressman Elijah Cummings; either. The appalling state of Baltimore has been previously highlighted by Bernie Sanders, Baltimore Sun newspapers as well as the New York Times. The president merely added his voice to it and because his voice has a global reach and everybody has now come to know about it, they are crying blue murder.  

A corrigible city government and its politicians would have taken a lesson from the president's tweet and try and fix their broken city; and even asked the president to help them with money to fix their city. This is where the Congressman would have come in and use his Congressional position to plead with the president for federal dollars to help lift his Congressional district. But no, they hate the president; hence everything that comes from the president, even if otherwise ordinarily beneficial, must be castigated and put in a dump and branded racist. Then you ask yourself what is racist in telling a Congressman to first take care of his district before pretending that illegal immigrants at the Southern border are not being treated well enough or has it tougher than impoverished American citizens who live in his district. 

Afterall, it was the Congressman who claimed that no human beings should be allowed to live like those illegal immigrants, while hundreds of thousands of poor African Americans and other down on their luck Americans live in far worse conditions than those illegal immigrants; begging the question, why does the Congressman's' charity not begin from home. But he is a politician and politicians are all about posturing and he wanted his moment in the sun by badgering the Border patrol head at his committee's hearing. Americans were shocked to see the Congressman's tone of admonishment, particularly when he said that people don't have to live that way, whereas millions of Americans, are living worse than that way, including in his own Baltimore Congressional district. as well. 

A point which nobody needs to go searching too far in order to see, such that ICHEOKU considers it scandalous that America will be parading its generosity abroad when millions of its own citizens are living in worse conditions than those foreigners which their country is often helping abroad. All it takes is a travel through the inner cities of America, the Midwest, the Appalachian, as well as the gutted Ross belt and some shocking levels of poverty will be staring one on the face. Yet, these forgotten Americans are killing themselves daily due to despondency, overdosing on drugs, committing suicides with guns and whatever they can find to end their lives, but their government is in Washington DC pretending that all is well; and that they have money to be helping other countries while their own citizens are in such a perilous state; and with great incredulity as to what happened to their own American dream, which has since turned into a nightmare. 

ICHEOKU says may be one of the ways to control immigration is for America to start showing its poor people and their impoverished neighborhoods to the world, as it will surely deter immigrants craving a shot at the American dream. The logic will be so easily discernible - if American citizens are this impoverished, why bother coming over. But no, a country of camera, lights and action, would like to showcase only the good, while intentionally forgetting the bad and the ugly. This is incentivizing the out of control immigration, which thus makes America's inner city citizens to be out competed  by more hungry immigrants who readily take the jobs which they would have been doing and for far too less a wage, thus compounding an already bad situation. 

But the president must not be allowed to air it and when he does, a deflection of racism is thrown into the mix just to keep the lid over the situation and you wonder whether this situation will ever be resolved or solved. It is a vicious circle and there is apparently a conspiracy of silence around it, the reason all these people are now hollering racism because they do not want the world to know what the real situation is actually in America. 

ICHEOKU says if Congressman Elijah Cummings must be angry, he should first be angry at the state of affairs of impoverished American citizens, particularly those who call his district home and thereafter, he can look at those illegal immigrants at the Southern border. But he got the whole situation wrong when he forsook his primary constituents who are living in squalor and became an advocate for illegal immigrants. This is the issue that needs to be discussed and not whether a presidential tweet was racist because it was not. The president only drew attention to the Congressman's misplaced priority and many in his congressional district agree with the president that the Congressman got it all mixed up, as they too could use some help from the government in order to improve their living conditions. Such a calling out is not racism by any definition, no matter how widened.

MUELLER'S TESTIMONY SHOCKER: MULLER'S REPORT WASN'T HIS.

ICHEOKU says it is abundantly evident from his demeanor, fidgetiness, tutored and stammered labored responses and his overall askance look that Robert Mueller did not read nor wrote the report which goes by his name The Mueller''s Report. Such inference is easily deductible by closely watching his mannerisms and listening to his answers to the questions, particularly as it appertains to the content of his report during his testimony before the United States Congress Judiciary Committee. 

ICHEOKU is emphatic that Robert Mueller did not read the report prior to his appearance at the hearing and couldn't have otherwise written it. He literally did not have a clue about the content of the Mueller Report and frequently asked for a reference page and paragraph, from where he reads to know or "refresh" his recollections before either collaborating it or punting the question. Anyone whose original work is being questioned, would readily recall the vital points and issues which he raised once minded; but not Robert Mueller, thus validating the claim in some quarters that some Democratic Party interest just used him to pursue an objective, which unfortunately bombed. 

Robert Mueller was eagerly answering Democratic Party members' questions or attempting to respond to hem; unlike the Republicans, whose insightful questions he parried off  and did not answer them. Some questions particularly captured ICHEOKU's attention, including how he contradicted himself on Collusion and Conspiracy being synonyms in his report, only to deny it during the hearing. He also failed to answer why an investigation into an alleged Russian meddling in our election only investigated one campaign but not the other. If indeed Mueller was truly determined to conclusively and thoroughly get to the bottom of the Russian meddling in our election in 2016, why did he not also investigate the Hillary Clinton's campaign to see if Russians also intruded in it. Afterall the stated objective of the Mueller Team was to find out if Russia meddled in our election; as they could have easily found an entry door through the Clinton's campaign. But Mueller refused to state why her campaign was not investigated, in order to find out if the Russia's meddling was as in-fact as pervasive as he concluded is still debatable.

Also by stating that he could not "exonerate" the president, Mueller transferred the onus and burden of proving his innocence on the president, which made a mockery of America's criminal law jurisprudence of presumption of innocent until proved guilty. It was not the place of the prosecutor, Robert Mueller, to determine whether or not the president is innocent or guilty of a charge. His job was to find and collect evidence of the president's culpability, which could be used at trial to prove beyond reasonable doubt the president's guilt. But the final decision of guilt still rests with the adjudicator or presiding authority but definitely not the prosecutor. Even such arbiter is still precluded from determining the president's innocence or lack of it; only whether he is guilty of the charge or not. So by Robert Mueller going out of his way to impugn the president with his statement that he could not "exonerate" the president, he embarked on a prosecutorial frolic, which is not known to criminal law and therefore a gross illegality and overreach.

Robert Mueller equally refused to answer why the letter which he wrote against the finding of the Attorney General on his report was deliberately leaked to the media, when his nearly two year long investigation never leaked. Robert Mueller also refused to answer why he charged everybody who "lied" to his investigating team and who are associated with the president, but refused to say why he did not indict those who lied to him, but  who are anti Trump and on the other side. Needless to add that his investigating team were largely composed of anti Trump lawyers and Hillary Clinton's sympathizers. 

Robert Mueller also reached a conclusion on Collusion, part of his report; but failed to similarly also reach a conclusion on the Obstruction, part two of his report; despite his mandate to reach a decision either way, regardless of what the practice of the Department of Justice was. A fair prosecutor would have concluded either that there was no evidence that the president was guilty of Obstruction or that there was, for which the president would have been indicted but for the DOJ guideline. But Robert Mueller was being clever by half in not answering the question as well. 

ICHEOKU says all these established clear evidence of bias or appearance of it on the part of Robert Mueller against the president, which tainted the report he finally came out with. But to Robert Mueller, it does not matter because the president is "below" the law, hence the principles of fair trial did not avail him, hence they were denied to him. As far as Robert Mueller was concerned, the president was expected to first establish his innocence before Mueller could "exonerate" him. What a farcical stranger to criminal prosecution and Mueller was fully aware of it, but did it anyway. ICHEOKU says with this Mueller Report and its attendant testimony, Robert Mueller may have inadvertently written the final chapter of his book of life, because long after he is gone, he will be remembered largely for this infamous Mueller Report. A pitiful way to sign off on his storied legacy. SAD.

10 DOWNING STREET: BORIS JOHNSON MOVES IN.

ICHEOKU says British Trump is now the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom; Boris Johnson, that is. He resoundingly won the contest for the PM with nearly 100,000 votes out of the 160,000 Conservative party members who voted to elect a new Prime Minister. He replaces the disgraced and very incompetent Theresa May, who was forced to resign the office because of her inability to midwife Brexit to fruition. 

The bombastic Bojo, as he is fondly known, is a quick rise to the British highest political office, the Prime Minister. A journalist turned politician he first ran for elective office in 2001 as a member of Parliament and won as a representative for Henley. He was also once the vice chairman for the Conservative Party, a Shadow Minister for Arts, a Shadow Minister for Education, Mayor of London, Member of Parliament representing Uxbridge and South Ruislip, Foreign Secretary and now the British Prime Minister. A meteoric ascendancy indeed. 

Boris Johnson will certainly be a different kind of Prime Minister and exactly what a Britain that is somewhat lost in political correctness, which saw a Pakistani Muslim become the Mayor of London, and many British cities already lost to Islamism, needs at this trying times. Bojo does not suffer fools lightly and once derided Burkha-wearing Muslim women as resembling bank robbers and post boxes. He also once described Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton's as a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital. A Brexit campaigner in chief who has vowed to actualize the exit of Britain from the European Union by the October 2019 deadline. Hopefully he will follow through with all the optimistic and high spirited statements, especially his promised ending of the diet of misery which British people have been forced to take and put spring back in the steps of every Brit. 

ICHEOKU says so far, he is talking the good talk and hopefully he will also walk the good walk by repositioning Britain at the pedestal where it was loomed high. He must also remember to first recover the detonator from Brussel before unwrapping the suicide vest from Britain, just to avoid any unintended consequences by an aggrieved Europe as a scorned partner is always very dangerous. Anyway, ICHEOKU wishes Boris Johnson a successful term in office and hopefully he will nominate Nigel Farage as the new British ambassador to the United States of America and that way premaritally seal his friendship with President Donald John Trump, a fan of both men.  Congratulations Bojo.

BRITAIN HAS A NEW PRIME MINISTER: HURRAY.

ICHEOKU says congratulations to Boris Johnson, the British Trump. 

THE SQUAD: HOW COULD THEY LOVE AMERICA?

ICHEOKU says when you love something, you are proud of it and you are bound to do right for and by it; as well as protect it from harm, damage or injury. Such expected disposition also includes not allowing any person to insult, disparage, ridicule or otherwise belittle the thing in any other way. You also do not talk it down, but continuously remain its cheerleader in chief. 

As a result, you somewhat morph into its marketing officer, as any good salesperson would, for any good product which he or she is trying to move. A mother's love for a child is one such good example of such abiding and unconditional love, which a person should have for a child, thing or country. For instance, when you have a house or is inside a house which provides you shelter from the elements, you don't tear it down; rather, you defend and protect it from any and every antagonistic foreign and external foe trying to take the roof out and render you homeless. This is the crux of the current embroilment between real American people and those four nutcase Congresswomen, who have formed themselves into a gang of four, aka The Squad. They do not love America and at best, not deeply enough; and not in such a way as beneficiaries of the American largess such as them, would or are expected to love a country which has given them so much. 

In which other country would their stories of coming from nothing to becoming something have been realized within such a short period of time in their lives. Many marvelous dreams come through, especially for Alexandria Ocasio Cortez who rocketed from a waitressing in a drinking bar to a United States of American Congresswoman from New York. Then add Omar who was a rescue from a Somalian refuge camp less than two decades ago and is now also a United States Congresswoman from Minnesota. The incredible but true story is about the same for the other two Congresswomen from Michigan and Massachusetts who round up the membership of the The Squad, Presley and Thliab. Their story of ONLY IN AMERICA, where dreams frequently come through for those who dare to aspire. 

ICHEOKU says what then is it exactly, that still riles these four women and cause them to hate America this much, despite having benefited so much from what America has to offer. Why do they hate America so much that at every opportunity, they trash it in such a way that you begin to wonder if America is really this horrible, why are they still there and not take a refuge somewhere else. Where is their love of country and gratitude to America which made them who they are today; which still protects, provides and defends them. An America which translated their dreams into realities of epochal achievements, which would have still remained merely a fairly tale dream in so many other countries, but a reality in America. But they chose to remain angry ingrates who pine away in sorrowful condemnation of the country which gave them its all.

Instead of disparaging America, these gals should be singing praises of America for allowing them realize their own American dreams; admitted, millions of others are still chasing their own dreams, while many millions of others have hopelessly watched as their dreams have since turned into unmitigated nightmares. That is what love of country is all about, showing gratitude for the privilege of being a citizen and not disparaging it at any slightest given opportunity. 

ICHEOKU says this is true, notwithstanding the famed right to free speech, freedom of expression ingrained in a democracy. Talking down of one's  country is definitely not the only way to truly exercise one's right to freely speak. That is what enemies and detractors do, but not patriotic citizens who love their country dearly. Patriots fight and defend the honor of their country, but they do not help detractors tear their country down or in any other way, demean it. If these four renegade women spend their time talking ill of their country and literary pulling it down, what then do they expect detractors of America to do or is it a case of unwittingly doing the job for them? 

Therefore, when one continuously belittles, insults and talk down something, such as one's own country, it becomes somewhat difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile such an unflattering conduct with love of country. Such crazy "love" is anathema to the country's well-being, as with such love, the country does not need any other enemy, because the enemy within is enough threat already. 

How could these women be calling for a borderless America; an American without security officials; an America where everything is free without saying how they are going to be paid for ; an America where babies are cavalierly aborted; an America where all the structures that hold it together are torn apart; an America which is completely gutted and remade in their own fantastically maniacal image; an American without an American flag; an America where the entire world's population are emptied into; an America which is a different America as we currently know it and in fact an America which ceases to be America. Yet they pretend to love America and you wonder with all these their desire come through, would there still exist America in the true sense of it. 

Something is wrong with the picture and only a person who hates America would advocate for such radical, complete and total remake of America; because once done, it will no longer be America that will remain, but a caricature of America, a ghost of the America that once was. 

These four knuckleheads who call themselves "The Squad" are guilty of lack of love for America. They have no real and true love for America and possesses shallow lip-service love at best. They do not have such love for country as real patriots do, that makes them pay the ultimate sacrifice for their country if need be. If America were a chattel or commodity and the opportunity avails itself for these women, they would readily auction America off for pittance without batting an eyelid. These women are mad and angry; and their deep seated anger at everything America stands for readily shows and boils out each time they open their anti America acerbic mouths. 

ICHEOKU says will reecho President Donald John Trump's words that these women should freely look elsewhere to anchor their boats of citizenship if they cannot stand America anymore. Good enough, America is still one of the countries that does not bar its citizens from leaving the country whenever they so desire. Rather, it is the deluge of people from other countries wanting to call America home who are flooding America, including those jumping in from the Southern border, that is the problem. How to effectively, sensibly control and regulate their inflow is the issue and not that anybody is stopping those who wants to leave. What a squad of undignified, rascally, feminists anarchists, who are seeking their fifteen minute of fame and in the process trying to destroy America and take it down. Thankfully enough, President Donald John Trump says not under his watch and is fighting back and is winning. Kudos to the MAGA-Nation. #SAYNOTOTHESQUAD. #MAGA/KAG2020.

KAMALA HARRIS IS NOT BARACK OBAMA, WILL NOT WIN.

ICHEOKU says there is a saying in some communities that a monkey see and a monkey do. Translated, imitating a success story is not always a form of flattery, as it sometimes leads to unintended consequences, failure. People who have mastered things make doing them appear easy. So it is not always sufficient by itself to try to replicate what they did; but to first try to understand how they did it. Thereafter, you can then travel through the same pathway which they followed and hope for the best, to achieve the same result. 

President Barack Obama understood this very well, the reason he charmed his way into the minds and hearts of the American people, who rewarded him with 8 years in the White House. First, he understood very well that there is no way he could win the White House without the approval and support of the white majority Americans and he went to work to win them over. He put his charm offensive on them and won their hearts. He had the disarming smile, cool mien, silky smooth mannerism, innocent attentiveness, great oratory prowess and above all, a serpentine cunning. His deftness was such that, any time there was any raising of eyebrow about his past possible anti white people sentiments, he rushed out to quell it. He vehemently denied and denounced it and went to whatever length possible to convincingly and satisfactorily explain away whatever the allegation. 

The former president was masterful in deploying all his qualities into wooing the white majority Americans and assured them that their fate under his presidency was safe. He did not scare them away but made them feel comfortable with his presidency. Even when any past incident which suggested that he was anti white people surfaced, he rushed out  to quell it. He was so clever in doing this, that even if it meant throwing his black mentors under the bus to prove and reassure white people that he got their back, he did so, effortlessly and without hesitation. It worked and it rewarded him with two presidential terms, eight years in the White House. Such a feat by a minority candidate will not be easily replicated again, if not impossible and at best, will be extremely difficult. Barack Obama is extremely gifted; he is a child of destiny and all the stars in the constellation correctly lined up to help make him president. 

Unfortunately, there is no Barack Obama among all the minorities running for president in 2020, because the good Lord does not make many of Obama's type, but randomly rewards every generation with just one or few of such figures. Such historical figures are like the Northern Star, of whose true fix there is no fellow in the firmament. Martin Luther King was such a fellow and since his assassination, many have tried but failed to fill his larger than life shoes. Barack Obama is it and possibly Barack Obama will be the it, the first and last one and only minority to ever be president of the United States of America, period. 

So, to all those people who are thinking that America has turned the corner by electing a black man president twice, and this thinking is the primary motive which is driving the minority candidates' quest for the presidency in 2020, ICHEOKU says not so fast. America has had their shot at a minority president and it will not happen again; at least not in the nearest future. Barack Obama was a smart and specially unique person. A well gifted political navigator, who cleverly masked himself and did not needlessly raise the antennas of white people. He was an epochal figure who had a perfect timing and made history as the first and possibly the last minority president of America; and such happenstance do not occur twice in a lifetime. 

ICHEOKU therefore is emphatic that there will not be another minority president of America, at least not in our lifetime. So, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Julio Caesar are wasting their time, energy and resources, gallivanting around in the name of running for president. The two black candidates, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, especially, lack everything which Barack Obama had in abundance. They lack his cucumber coolness, his air, his disarming smile, his decode-proof demeanor, his infectious charm, his eloquence and great oratorical skills, his ability to maintain his top gasket no matter the needling. In short, Barack Obama's personality is such that even his fiercest critics conceded that unique trait of his and are in agreement that he can never erupt, no matter the circumstance. 

Barack Obama is unlike the two black candidates, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, whose deep seated anger has repeatedly erupted on national television to the chagrin of the American people, who unfortunately will not be comfortable with having any of such irascible fella in their White House. Cory Booker bared his fangs with his Spartacus moment and Senator Kamala Harris displayed her temper also during the Judge Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearing. Kamala also did herself in by comparing ICE officials to KKK and most recently during her spar with Joe Biden on busing of school children. Both candidates have shown their hands and American people are scared of them; and will avoid having them as president just as much as people avoids a leper. Simply put, both candidates are too risky a proposition, to even contemplate putting in the White House. 

ICHEOKU says both candidates are too brash, too angry, too rash, too cocky, too anti White people to be president. They both nurse deep seated rage against White people, that if given the opportunity, will possibly call for their pound of flesh. White people are afraid of suffering repercussions for what happened in their history with black people and will always guard against that possibility. Barack Obama conned them up to the point that they became assured on his harmlessness and thus comfortable with him, elected him president. But with Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, they are so scared of them to the point of even being repulsed by them, such that they will first elect a dead Harriet Tubman president, before looking at the two. 

The two candidates, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, blew their cover so early in the game, that winning back the confidence and trust of the white people will not be easy, if ever. People everywhere are about protecting themselves and their interests; and white people will not just lay down prostrate or let their guards down and tempt fate by allowing any of the two candidates get into the White House. As a result, their  presidential bid is as good as a lost cause, dead on arrival; because neither of them will win the Democratic Party's nomination and if it magically happens, Cory or Kamala will not win the presidential election in November 3rd, 2020. 

Both candidates are just too angry to be trusted with the office of the president. White Americans are not comfortable with them nor ready to entertain the idea that they will not take vengeance against them by formulating anti white people's policies that will affect them adversely. Unfortunately, anger alone is not enough nor sufficient to win an election. A matter made worse for this duo because White people are still the majority in America and without their accepting, approving and supporting a candidate, such a candidate might as well be on a frolic of his or her own, wandering in the laland of a wishful presidency in their dream, but definitely not in the White House. 

ICHEOKU says only Barack Obama could pull if off and he did twice pull it off. Unfortunately, neither Kamala Harris nor Cory Booker is a Barack Obama and their current effort will end up only in aspiration, but definitely not in realization of the presidency. The other bad news for the two "angry birds" candidates is that there is nothing they can do at this stage to repair the damage to their reputation which they brought unto themselves, having been recognized as two angry, white-hating, black candidates. Such reputation or notoriety is like a stigma, once it sticks, it does not easily get wished away. Were ICHEOKU to be advising either candidates, will encourage them to wind down their operations and cut their losses asap, because their road to the White House is blocked with insurmountable obstacles - their anger and their anti white people's deeply rooted passion are both a no no for any person aspiring for the White House. Simply put, their presidential bid is toast, a typical example of failure to launch. 

THE NEW FACE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

ICHEOKU says American people will remember when it matters most, come November 3rd, 2020, who the Democratic Party have ceded the control of their party to. SAD. Simply put, too radical and too left to be trusted with power.

ROSS PEROT: DEAD AT 89, RIP.

ICHEOKU says he was a billionaire politician and founder of the Reform Party, the first maverick to go up against the two political party establishment, running for president first as an independent in 1992 and later as a third party candidate in 1996. But where he failed, another billionaire politician, Donald John Trump, succeeded twenty years later, by using one of the political party as his platform, unlike Ross who wanted nothing to do with either party. 

Ross Perot was indeed an American icon, who founded EDS and once quipped: "Born in Texas, bred in Texas and when I die, it shall also read dead in Texas." He loved his State of Texas so much and unapologetically too. He also loved life and he lived it fully well, with great passion for dancing. Ross Perot died of old age infirmities and complications of leukemia; he was 89 years old. May his soul now rest. Adieu Perot.

United Kingdom AMBASSADOR TO THE USA: RECALL AND REPLACE HIM NOW.

ICHEOKU says the British government must be unequivocally read the riot act, either they recall their renegade ambassador to the United States of America for acts considered hostile to his host government or the United States of America government should revoke his diplomatic credentials and have him thrown out of America forthwith. There is no justification to be that critical of a president of America, regardless; moreso President Donald John Trump is not the president of Britain nor does America take their Queen to shredders. It also does not matter what informed his opinion, there are certain things that are beyond such acidic relationship-tearing outburst. 

Who is the ambassador to stay on United States of American soil and insult a duly elected president of America. Such an affront must be confronted head-on, otherwise other countries will follow suit in chastising an American president. Such behavior or rather misbehavior is simply a no, no and must not be tolerated nor condoned. Therefore Theresa May must be given a forty eight hours within which to recall her ambassador or have him thrown out and sent back to her. Either way, Ambassador Darroch must leave the United States of America for having irreparably broken the trust and confidence necessarily required for a good working relationship between the two countries, no negotiations on this matter required or needed because none is acceptable. 

ICHEOKU says does not even know if the ambassador is Chinese or North Korean, from his name; but the joke is on Kim Darroch and he should be declared a persona non grata immediately and expelled from America, never to come back as long as the two terms of President Donald John Trump shall last. The ambassador is part of the anti Trump world order which never wanted Trump to become president. Also, at this juncture of not having a good friendly relationship with 10 Downing Street, declassifying the Steele Dossier or threat of it, will be a good play. The British government has been hostile to President Donald John Trump and was part of the grand conspiracy to stop his election as president of the United States of America. ICHEOKU says the ambassador is out of his mind in  committing such a diplomatic faux passe, especially for a country with special relationship with America. What a goof ball.

JEFFREY EPSTEIN: THE BILLIONAIRE PEDOPHILIA.

ICHEOKU says when money is not the problem and he has more than he knew what to do with and diverted some of it into sexual pervasion of the worse kind; molesting underage children and paying them pittance in return. He is a maniacally possessed sex predator  who prefers to prey on young easily impressionable girls; and if the account of one his victims is believable, she alone supplied him with 75 underage girls for his addictive sexual fetish with children. 

He is a 66 year old New York billionaire with a net worth of $2 billion, no wife and no children, two private jets at his beck and call, as well as a network of six homes including a private personal island where he often stages the grand finale of his ultimate orgy. In addition, he has a callous impetus to mess up other peoples children and he succeeded at it as well. Now, indicted for sexual trafficking, abuse and running a sex operation ring with minors, billionaire Jeffrey Epstein will be facing a long prison sentence if convicted. 

What a way to live life without any family strings attached, no wife, no children and no relatives; and you wonder if he had children and they are girls, how would he feel to learn that they were abused by a man old enough to be their grandfather. But it is a cruel predatory world out there and people always do what they do to take advantage of the next person, believing that they would get away with it and he almost did with the unbelievable sweetheart deal he got in Florida but which the Souther District of New York said no, not under their watch. 

Like Harvey Weinstein and Anthony Weiner before him, Jeffrey Epstein is yet another Jew, caught, testing the elasticity of what he can get away before being caught; and trust the American law enforcement, he did not escape from being held accountable. It is very sad what he nearly got away with; an absolutely unimaginable sweetheart deal.
