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.

UKRAINE SCANDAL: WHAT DOES JOE BIDEN KNOW?

ICHEOKU says all the attempt at a cover up will not succeed, as suspicion of official corruption has now been permanently attached to Joe Biden. American people deserves better and they deserve to know what Joe Biden knows and when he knew it. A matter made worse because there is a contradiction between him and his son Hunter Biden, about his knowledge that his son was engaged with an oil business in Ukraine. 

A relapsing drug addict, who has no special knowledge about the business of oil, but was hired anyway by an oil company because of who he is and paid millions of dollars for it. Then add the sweetheart billion dollar China deal and you wonder how any father could have been without knowledge, as his son, who is somewhat moronic, being a drug dependent addict, sealed all these business deals. It was such a quid pro quo deals that made it easy for China to eat America's lunch in unfair trade deals between the two countries, as government corruption made officials to sell their country short and their soul to the devil as they looked the other way while China ravaged American companies and businesses. 

ICHEOKU says if any case calls for investigation by a Special Counsel, this one certainly so qualifies. Therefore the business deals carried out by Hunter Biden in both Ukraine and China ought to be investigated in an effort to root out possible corruption in government.  President Donald John Trump was harassed by the Democrats for a none existent Trump Tower project deal in Moscow. But here is Joe Biden's son, with a well documented provable business deals in both Ukraine and China, yet the Bidens are not being harassed or investigated. Were it Don Jr, would the treatment be the same? Investigate Joe Biden and his family now and have this matter resolved once and for all. If not, the scandal will cast a pall of corruption on his candidacy just like the 33,000 deleted emails never left Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton in 2016. Say no to leveraging of official positions. #InvestigateJoeBiden and do it NOW before the Iowa caucus.

JOE BIDEN: INVESTIGATE THE UKRAINIAN SCANDAL.

ICHEOKU says but what did his boss President Barack Hussein Obama do when he learnt of it or was he incohoot and implicitly signed off on the scandal. American people need to know and the Congress must get to the root of the matter. 

Joe Biden using his office as the Vice President to enrich his family members is a violation of the Emolument Clause, so let the investigation begin and begin right now. With such a cloud of corruption hanging over his head like a halo, old Joe Biden has lost the moral grounds on which to stand to seek the presidency of the United States of America. 

ICHEOKU says investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden's Ukrainian scandal and do it now before the Democratic Party's primaries.

ED BUCK: HILLARY CLINTON'S FRIEND, HIS CUP RUNNETH OVER.

ICHEOKU says as with everything in life, a time comes when every luck is exhausted and it becomes time to account for one's misdeeds. So it happened that after killing two black gay men by injecting them with overdose methamphetamine, that the Democratic Party honcho and fundraiser extraordinaire, a friend of Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton and donors to many Democratic Party's candidates, including Kamala Harris, is finally arraigned in court of criminal justice to stand trial for two murders and one attempted murder. Ed Buck stands accused of two murders and he is a friend of Hillary Clinton. So Sad.

JUSTIN TRUDEAU: I WORE BLACKFACES, DEAL WITH IT.

ICHEOKU says what a great pretender who frequently scolded other people who say in public what he lives with outside camera. lights and action. A pampered and well sheltered life as is ever deserving of a son of a lawyer and former Canadian Prime Minister. He is here mocking black people while pretending that he loves them.

JUSTIN TRUDEAU'S BLACKFACE: ANTICS OF A SPOILT WHITE RICH KID.

ICHEOKU says until they are caught, it is always the same sanctimonious holier than thou, "I am better than you" purita  facade; which they wear as a mask of Zorro to hide who they really are, their real hateful racist self. They feign love of everybody and every thing, including holding strong views about some idiotic social re-engineering, as they pander to everything that make them hip and woke and which would make them accepted by the craziest of the society's far left. 

This is the same fella who chided President Donald John Trump for calling out the Democratic Squad and suggested that Canada is different as they do not discriminate against people of certain colors, backgrounds and religion; and that Canada is a welcoming society. But now, he has been caught pants down with the worst imaginable racist antics, painting his face and body black, in mockery of black people all over the world. What he did is worse than all the fake news media have ever accused President Donald John Trump of; yet the media is not throwing a fit of fury and calling for his immediate resignation. 

A very pretentious fellow who giggles like the girlie sissy man he is, but behind the closed curtains of scrutiny and prying eyes, shows the real Justin Pierre James Trudeau, the privileged white rich kid and spoilt son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. So understandably, he had it all and partied like it was 1999 while growing up; and had all the perks and privileges which money and fame could beget. Therefore, it is not surprising that he acted and behaved like many frat boys, especially those in the exclusive club of rich and famous; and made racists remarks, jokes and taunting while growing up. A matter made worse because, as old as 30 years, he was still painting his entire body black and having fun doing it; and without the least care in the world about the millions of black people he hurt and mocked doing it. 

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Pierre James Trudeau was only saying sorry because he got caught, period. He took those pictures and knew they exist, but thought nobody will ever find them. He never peremptorily disclosed them or their existence, but pretentiously carried on as if nothing happened and that they were not a bid deal. But what he failed to realize is that karma is an angry and ugly dark bitch and has a way of taking its vengeance on transgressors. 

ICHEOKU says if Justin Trudeau is truly contrite, where is his resignation letter or did he also dismissively treat the issue as not worthy a resignation, afterall he only mocked black people, big deal. He also did not marry a black woman, either to show his love and affection for black people and that he indeed, truly loves black people and was just channeling them and wishing he were black when he repeatedly painted himself black and happily posed for group pictures in them. It was not once nor twice; but a pattern of behavior suggesting that he truly indeed, is superior to black people and can easily poke fun at them by turning himself black as often as he desired and wanted. 

But where is the outrage, backlash and condemnation; and where are the media and those crazed out leftists liberals demanding that Justin Pierre James Trudeau resigned his office for being a racist? They have gone code silent simply because Justin is part of the protected group of liberal crazies, who want to remake the world in their Utopian image.  Imagine what he could have possibly be thinking all those years he was paling around with Barack Obama, eating in diners and hanging out together. It must be 'look at this nigger who is occupying America's White House. Anyway, he has been outed and until death, he will remain a black face wearing Justin Pierre James, who mocked black people and had sadistic fun doing it. Pitifully sad though, is the fact that Justin Pierre James Trudeau and like his Canada, cannot be pushed around or held accountable for his racist's antics.

ED BUCK: THE FRIENDS WE KEEP.

ICHEOKU says birds of the same plumage flocks together, one would say; the Vince Fosters of this world factored in. But hey, it takes one to know one and the saga continues. A serial predator whose instrument of choice in killing black gay men in Los Angeles is methamphetamines. The last time ICHEOKU checked, methamphetamine is a banned substance, yet it is readily available; speaking of gun control and the illogicality in some quarters that homicidal maniacs will no longer be able to find their weapons, once guns are banned. Definitely an interesting but skewed grandstanding.

MR PRESIDENT: CONTINUE THE GOOD FIGHT

ICHEOKU says American people are with the president and knows who truly loves them and is fighting tirelessly hard for everything that makes America, America - border, language and culture; and of course the economy, as well as security. On November 3rd, 2020, they will show the president that they understand and will reward him handsomely with a well deserved and rightly earned second term. By far the hardest working American president in the history of the United States of America. #MAGA-KAG 2020.

XENOPHOBIC SOUTH AFRICA: SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN LIBERATED FROM APARTHEID.

ICHEOKU says had a conversation with an Afrikaner a few weeks ago, discussing the senseless and uncivilized  xenophobic attacks by South Africans of black Africans living in South Africa. These are supposedly their fellow black African brothers and sisters, many of whose countries led the struggle to free South Africans from the asphyxiating choke hold  of apartheid regime. We also touched the issue of present black South African leadership and their inability to continue maintaining the administrative efficiency which South Africa had under the apartheid regime. 

Our conclusion was that it is either the apartheid regime ended too early and before black South Africans were ready to lead, as developments since then has shown that they did not fully imbibe the culture of a civilized behavior and coexistence with others; or that the current ANC leadership under President Cyril Ramaphosa is primitivity prone and totally retarded, not to provide the much needed peaceful progressive direction in South Africa. It is a sad and unbelievable commentary, that the government of South Africa would continuously tolerate and allow its citizens to periodically ferment trouble in that country, killing and maiming, looting, burning and generally destroying properties belonging to fellow black Africans living in South Africa. 

When their own storied history of being repressed and oppressed, tortured, imprisoned and sometimes killed, is factored in, you wonder if they learnt any lessons from their own past experience. A matter made worse because the black Africans who they are now visiting these mayhem upon are the same people whose countries helped them through their emancipation from apartheid. It is even sadder that Nigeria which led the struggle and helped them educate their future leaders, provided shelter for their fleeing fugitives and spent a fortune for the struggle to end apartheid, that her citizens are receiving the full blunt of these xenophobic attacks from such an ungrateful country. That South Africans would hate Nigerians so much after liberating them from apartheid makes one wonder if there could be any better definition of ingratitude than what is going on in South Africa. 

Since the stint of Nelson Mandela in governance and then a little part of Mbeki's early days in office, South Africa under the ANC has been a total disgrace, especially their wanton disregard for fellow black Africans lives considered. The post apartheid era black South African leadership had been looked unto to provide the much needed leadership role in Africa and also South Africa becoming the welcoming beacon of hope for fellow Africans. But the story ever since has been an unmitigated disaster which has dashed these hopes, as South Africa has instead become an unwelcoming hellhole where fellow black Africans are lynched nearly every day, some of them burnt alive and some of them had their four limbs cut off with machete. A gory tale of mayhem and bloodletting which does not spare even pregnant women and children and you wonder how barbaric these South Africans really are, that ferment this xenophobic madness. 

The government's tolerance of such gross lawlessness shows that South Africa has fallen into a state of anomie, gross ineptitude and debilitating inefficiency; and have somewhat also been bitten by the same bug of dysfunction which afflicts the entire African continent. Imagine the buffoonery of President Cyril Ramaphosa who cannot protect the lives and properties of people living in his country, and helplessly watches as South Africa descends into such a free fall of societal decay, where law and order are no longer maintain and where people are killed wantonly. How can any president be presiding over such a level of lawlessness, killings and destruction of properties; and still wants to be treated and accorded the respect deserving of leaders. Leaders solve problems and leaders protect the people living within the boundaries of their countries, who are incidentally under their care, regardless of their nationality. But in Africa, particularly now in South Africa, leadership means a different thing; the reason Africa is the bottom dweller among the comity of nations, both in development and care for citizens and residents. 

What is going on in South Africa reminds ICHEOKU of the thuggish behavior of some inner city black Americans, who frequently take it out on each other - killing, maiming and sometimes looting and burning properties in their neighborhood. A result of frustration, hopelessness and despondency due to lack of jobs and other life's opportunities. But instead of directing their anger at the relevant authority, the government, whose inept policies led to their situation, it becomes a case of misplaced aggression. They lash out and vent their anger at the nearest people and thing to them, their fellow depressed, deprived and denied neighbors; the same oppressed and downtrodden people of their society who share in the burden of their fate. This is the gist of the South African debacle as impoverished South African thugs are blaming African migrants in South Africa for their misfortune. 

But regrettably, their stupidity is being encouraged and somewhat tacitly supported by an inept and indecisive government, which is confused and conflicted as to how to approach the issue, which thinks that by going soft on these munchkins that they will be seen as understanding their frustrations. A case of spare the rod and spoil the kid and this lack of crackdown is nurturing this xenophobic mayhem and fanning its flame. ICHEOKU says a government's primary function is maintaining law and order within the given society under its control. So, yes, President Cyril Ramaphosa is to blame for failing to rein in those South African knuckleheads who are fermenting these repeat cycle violent crisis in South Africa. His wish washy, knee jerk, approach to law enforcement and failure to crack down heavily on these bandits, who are giving South Africa such a bloody horrible image, is the reason such idiotic attacks is continuing till this day. 

How can a president and leader of South Africa stand by and watch, as people living in his country, especially their fellow African brothers and sisters, including Nigerians, are constantly attacked, maimed and killed, their properties looted, burnt and destroyed. Nigeria did so much for South Africa during the struggle against apartheid that South Africa should and ought to owe Nigeria a perpetual debt of gratitude; and not only love Nigerians, but ensure that no harm is done to Nigerians living in their midst. But unfortunately, it is not so as the reverse is now the case, with Nigerians always primarily targeted whenever these urchins want to ferment their trouble. Nearly one hundred Nigerians have lost their lives in these attacks, added to the thousands whose properties and means of livelihood have been destroyed. 

Meanwhile, South Africans live in other peoples countries, including in Nigeria, where many of their country men and women are thriving freely and without any molestations.  But Nigerians and other people who call South Africa home are continuously being shafted and frequently on the business end of South African's machetes, guns, sticks, spears, bows and arrows. This madness must stop and it must stop now. Enough of the lack of reciprocity of love and affection by South Africans. If the evacuation of Nigerian citizens in South Africa and freezing of diplomatic relations between Nigeria and South Africa is what it will take to jolt the government of the sleepy-eyes Cyril Ramaphosa into action, so be it. The South African president must be made to realize the damage which such uncivilized and primitive behavior is inflicting on the image of his country; and then forced to resolutely do something about it, in order to checkmate the frequency of it by severely punishing offenders. 

Nigerian authorities must send a strong unequivocal message to President Cyril Ramaphosa that this will be the last time such unprovoked attack on her citizens shall be tolerated. If it happens again, Nigeria should nationalize every South African assets in Nigeria, recall her ambassador to South Africa and shutter the Nigerian diplomatic mission in Pretoria or wherever it is located; while simultaneously expelling South Africa's High Commissioner in Nigeria back to South Africa. India and Pakistan have perfected this tit for tat, often mercurial relationship between each other, as nobody is the sole purveyor of violence and crass idiotic behavior. If they want blood, let them be given blood. If they do not want peaceful relationship, let them not have any. But this one sided violence must end and end now. Enough. 

Those blood thirsty vampiric urchins in South Africa, who are venting their frustrations on Nigerians living in their country, must understand that they are murderous thugs and that no civilized people behaves in such a primitive manner. They must be made to realize that the difference between a jungle and a society is law and order; and that animals live in jungle of lawlessness. Further, that only barbarians callously hurt fellow human beings and enjoy doing it; and that they should do a serious soul searching to see why they lost the humanity in them, as to be so heartlessly in deep with this inhuman killings. Also, the political structure of the ANC in which leadership is based on a hierarchical order is too retrogressive and must be jettisoned. There is no pecking order in a democracy, as a potentially terrific leader can be found among the lowest rung of the totem pole of the political ladder. 

The ANC must liberalize the process and let the bowels of the party throw up a leader which South Africa desires and deserves; and not all these ossified leaders who have been patiently waiting for their turn and not because they have something to offer the country. These leaders are not persuaded to lead by the promise which they made to country men and women, because it was an inherited position, hence no accountability to the people and country. They believe that the position is theirs, regardless; and do not have any incentive to man up and face down the challenges of the office; including the security problem imposed by the recurring xenophobic attacks on foreigners living amongst them in South Africa. This time calls for a rethinking of resolve and President Cyril Ramaphosa must do whatever it takes to find a lasting resolution to the recurring South Africa's xenophobic attacks. It is a shame that South Africa has become the new shame of Africa; and you wonder who cursed Africa and placed this retrogressive spell on her. What a senseless shame.

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

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

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

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

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

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

FELICITY HUFFMAN: A CONVICTED FELON GOES TO PRISON.

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

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

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

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

THE DEBATE: ELIZABETH WARREN STILL STANDING STRONGEST.

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

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

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

9/11 ATTACKS: WE SHALL FOREVER REMEMBER.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CLIMATE CHANGE HYSTERIA: A DEMOCRATIC PARTY SCARE TACTIC.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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