JOE BIDEN HAS NO ANSWER TO THE TRUMP QUESTION.

ICHEOKU says after watching the MAGA rally in Tulsa Oklahoma, what will Joe Biden do in response or in counter. Will he try to do something immediately to get back into the prime time or will he just hunker down in his basement forte and be sullen about it. But even if he wants to hold his own rally, will his basement be big enough to hold his usual 200 person in attendance gathering. If he chooses to do it in a somewhat bigger arena, will the fear of coronavirus allow him and if, where will he find the crowd needed for such an event. ICHEOKU says it does not seem like Joe Biden has an answer to the Trump's question as there is really nothing he can do to counter Trump's MAGA rally. He knows that he is not a march to President Donald John Trump and cannot possibly stand his tornado force. Hillary Clinton couldn't do it with her much smarter self, talkless of Joe Biden who is so feeble and weak and nearly demented. 

But who knows if Joe Biden will still agree to debate President Donald John Trump in the fall during the presidential debates or will he just chicken out, blame the coronavirus as  a reason for it because six feet social distancing cannot be adequately maintained; moreso it will be very difficult for him to debate with a face mask on. Will Joe Biden instead, say never mind, my time is up and lets just forget about the debate or will he man up and debate the president as he debated Bernie Sanders in a zero crowd environment, while maintaining social distancing with the president. ICHEOKU says anyway, does not know about you, but if what took place in Tulsa is evidence of what is facing Joe Biden this fall, then Houston, Joe Biden got a problem. 

TULSA DID NOT DISAPPOINT: THE PRESIDENT DELIVERED AS USUAL.

ICHEOKU says as expected, the president did not disappoint, he once again delivered on his signature campaign style mesmerization of the MAGA family gathered at the Tulsa arena, as well as the millions who watched from the comforts of their homes. His message is clear, Joe Biden does not possess the mental equilibrium to be an option on November 3rd and therefore should not be wasted any vote on. ICHEOKU says agrees that Joe Biden's days are since over and now behind him; and so should American people help put him back into retirement on November 3rd. Voting for or electing Joe Biden is not and should not be an option to be considered by any sane and rational voter as there is more to the presidency than lamentations of what is wrong. You got to have the commitment, energy and sound mind to govern. Unfortunately, Joe Biden does not possess any of these three requirements any longer and should be helped off the political stage for the last time and permanently on November 3rd. 

But does Joe Biden has a plan on how to respond to or counter what was at display in Tulsa. An event, which despite the fear of the coronavirus, the BLM protests and the rabid media nut-jobs who have been campaigning against it non stop for quite some time now, still recorded the success it did. Thousands of people still showed up, patriots, who love America so much and are ready to reassure the president that their loyalty to him has not waned. They came out in large numbers to affirm that they will stand their ground with Make America Great Again and will vote to reelect the president on November 3rd, to enable him continue to fly the flag of Americas greatness. Imagine what the atmosphere would have been if not for the perfect storms of a coronavirus, a possessed media and of course the ongoing George Floyd's triggered Black Lives Matter protest which captured the nation's attention and somewhat took off some shine from the MAGA rally by forcing some supporters away from Tulsa. Some due to fear of coronavirus and others for fear of their safety. 

But against all odds, it was a successful first outing for the MAGA USA family since the coronavirus lockdown and it can only get better, huger, bigger and larger going forward. If after two weeks from hence, there is no exponential increase in coronavirus infections and hospitalizations in Tulsa, Team Trump should follow the Tulsa rally with rapid fire rallies around the country. They should dominate the airwaves and political discussion fora with President Donald John Trump rallies and let the nation once again become enveloped in the Trump Fever Mania. As it was before the lockdown so shall it become going forward; and going by the number of people who showed up in Tulsa, it is obvious that MAGA family is back and ready for the journey to November 3rd when another  history will be made by reelecting the president for a second term. ICHEOKU says congratulations to the team that made Tulsa happen and kudos to a courageous president who continuously push forward despite the amassed forces against him. 

HAPPY JUNETEENTH AMERICA.

ICHEOKU says hopefully the nation can now begin to heal from the upheavals of the last several weeks since George Floyd was murdered. The 155th anniversary of the last black slaves becoming aware of their freedom is a good time to draw the curtain down on all the protests which erupted since his murder. May the craziness of the past few weeks now stop in honor of the memories which Juneteenth represent. 

ICHEOKU says was going to ask why it is ok to keep Juneteenth flag but it is not ok to keep the Confederate flag which signifies the reason for Juneteenth. Without black people being held as slaves, there would have been no need for emancipation or later notifying slaves in Galveston Texas that they are have become free. Symbolism is everything and forms an important aspect of humanity and for its preservation, all these conflicting interests insignias should have been kept because without one, there won't be the other. 

If you are flying flag of emancipation, it necessary follows or should follow that the flag of confederacy that kept the slaves should also equally fly to drive home the message of what triumphed over the other. Light over darkness. Christians keep the cross not because Jesus is still on the cross, but as a daily reminder to them of what Jesus went through in order to purchase them forgiveness of sin. If we have destroyed all the crosses, how would anyone be reminded the agony of what he went through in Gethsemane. Historical records are kept as a memory bank of what once was, in an effort to provide a guide going forward and in order to avoid the pitfalls of the past. 

All those statues being demolished is plain whitewashing of historical facts, without which, the people and generations to come will be ignorant of what once was, then learn to appreciate how far the nation has come, as they continue traveling on the journey to improve what is, towards their common aspiration of what should be. But like William Shakespeare admonished humanity in Julius Caesar, mob mindset can be a dangerous thing and America is witnessing its claws. If people demolish statues of slave merchants, how then would they explain how they got to America in the first place? 

Anyway, may all the protests now end and let America begin to work towards a more perfect union, with greater emphasis placed on jobs and security for black people as well and not all the superficial symbolisms of destroying centuries-old statues which will not in any way improve anybody's life. Enough of the destruction. Happy Juneteenth folks.  

JOHN BOLTON IS A DOPE: DON'T BUY AND DON'T READ HIS BOOK.

ICHEOKU says this man should be rather ashamed of himself for betraying the trust of a confidential presence. He was appointed to such a position of high trust and extreme confidentiality and all he did in return is to rat on what his then privileged position made him privy to, assuming they are true. What a man of crass, who has no strength of character or honor to keep certain confidences secret. 

ICHEOKU really does not care nor give a damn if everything in his book is true, it doesn't matter. What matters is that he was an enemy within, who kept quiet and enjoyed the privileges of the office until he was fired and now this. If they happened as he claimed and he was distrust about them, why did he not protest then or resigned in protest simultaneously as they occurred. But after the fact, just because he was fired from his job, he now decided to take his pound of flesh. Anyway, John Bolton be damned as he cannot separate Trumpers from their president and on November 3rd, the president will be reelected for a second time, regardless of the trashy Bolton Book. What a mustachioed nimrod.

TULSA 2020: MAGA RALLY RESTARTS.

ICHEOKU says congratulations to MAGA USA 2020 for restarting it's engines with a rally in Tulsa Oklahoma on June 20th, 2020. It is from now a non stop revving to November 3rd, when the president's contract with American people will be renewed with four more years in the White House. The president has worked hard enough to earn a second term and he will be rightly rewarded with a victory on November 3rd. Now lets MAGA family bring down the roof in Tulsa. #4MoreYears. #MAGA_KAG. 

FULTON COUNTY DA SHOULD KNOW: 'I GOT HIM' IS NOT AN ADMISSION OF GUILT.

ICHEOKU says watching the Fulton Country District Attorney Paul Howard Jr news conference showed a man under heavy pressure to deliver for his Atlanta black community on the death of Rayschard Brooks.  The pressure was so palpable that you can see it in both his demeanor and facial contouring and he was sweaty too. He was forced to rush the indictment without first waiting for the rightful agency, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, to complete their investigation. 

It is usually after they make pronouncement that the police officer's conduct warranted an indictment based on their finding, that the District Attorney then indicts. But he chose to presumptuously indict the police officer just to please his black people and such a rather perfunctory indictment for murder, of the police officer, will not stand muster and a trial. A charge of murder which is surely to be thrown out by the judge or on the application of the defense, be dismissed, because what happened, even if it was a crime, did not rise to murder. ICHEOKU is emphatic that no matter how terrible what happened was or may seem, the criminal justice system does not seek to make society feel good, but only to punish a criminal behavior. 

So, based on the circumstances, the police officer did not commit any crime when he acted as he was authorized under Georgia State law, firing back with a deadly weapon at a fleeing suspect who first fired at him with a deadly weapon which he stole from the police. This is the sole soul of the case, the determinant of whether he had the right to defend himself from an assailant who wanted to incapacitate or even kill him while on his hot pursuit. Whether the officer reacted reasonably is a different thing all together; but if as Georgia State's law empowered him, he had the right to react as he reacted, case closed. Some people might not like it, but that is the black letter of the Georgia State's law which classifies taser as a deadly weapon and when attacked with it, the officer reserves the right to respond with a deadly weapon too. 

Now, as regards to the excited utterance made by the policeman when he finally made contact with the dying victim that "I got him", it is not an admission of guilt. The expression could be interpreted in so many different ways including that he finally caught up with the suspect after chasing him upon his fleeing from the police to elude arrest. The officer did not immediately begin shooting at the victim upon the chase; he only returned fire when Rayschard Brooks fired at him. He had no intention to kill Rayschard but just wanted to arrest him for drunk driving. The victim resisted arrest, fought off the policemen, stole their weapon and then ran off, causing the chase to begin. 

Even the police officer stepping on the victim's wrist to hold him down shows that the officer did not know that his shot was fatal and thought that Rayschard was still a continuing flee risk. The officer did not say "I killed the Nigger" or "I killed the SOB", which would have registered his malicious intention and that he deliberately wanted to kill him. He did not, it was nothing deliberate as the officer merely wanted to take him into custody and keep other road users safe from a drunk driver. There is also a glaring evidence of their mutual respectful conversation which showed that things were going smoothly until Rayschard decided to escalate it by resisting arrest, fighting the police, fleeing and shooting at the police in his hot pursuit. 

But unfortunately, a showboating District Attorney, playing to the gallery of political correctness and desperately trying to win some points from Black Lives Matter, went out of his way to indict for murder and you wonder where was the malice aforethought. The officer never left for work that day intending to shoot and kill Rayschard Brooks or any other black man for that matter. Everybody saw the various video clips of how both men started off cordially and courteously before the victim decided to surprise the officers by doing exactly the same time which he had earlier assured the police officers that he will not do. According to the victim, he acknowledged that the police officers were doing their job and that he will comply with whatever the ask of him, before changing his mind when the handcuffs came out because he did not want to go to jail for drunk driving. 

Thanks for video cameras, every of their interaction were captured and it is no longer second guessing what transpired. So, all those carrying water for the victim should in fairness also speak to what the victim did wrong, many things, to bring about the harm that was done to him and these officers whose conscience is forever stained with taking another person's life. They did not intend to so do but the victim forced their hand, admitted they could have shown more restrain, but the heat of the moment proved otherwise. ICHEOKU's verdict is that the officers will beat the charges, the officer indicted with murder will also beat the murder count. If the case is not completely dismissed, they will be acquitted following a trial on all the counts including stepping on the dead body as everything happened under the same unbroken chain of passion starting from the resisting of arrest. Even manslaughter is not tenable because the Georgia State law exculpates the officer and completely exonerates them.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IS IN THE BOOK: JOHN BOLTON IS A DOPE.

ICHEOKU says that such a once trusted adviser should now seek to betray a president who made him his National Security Adviser is the gist of the story and not what Mr Walrus may have concocted as a personal vendetta at the president for firing him. Like any other disgruntled fired former employee, lashing out is always their next line of conduct and that is exactly what John Bolton is engaged in right now with his book. ICHEOKU says the president should completely ignored John Bolton and and his book and not spend useful time capital on the book as doing that will create more publicity for John Bolton's new book and inadvertently help him sell the book. The president should simply ignore it and it will whittle away. 

Further if the following eight issues are considered the "most shocking" revelations in the book, then the book revealed nothing, talkless of it being shocking. According to the narrative, the president pleaded with China to help him win the 2020 election; the president suggested he was open to serving more than two terms; the president offered favors to dictators; the president praised Xi for China's internment camps; the president  defended Saudi Arabia to distract from a story about Ivanka; some top staff mocked the president at his back; the president thought that Finland was part of Russia/that United Kingdom is a nuclear power and the president thought it would be cool to invade Venezuela. 

ICHEOKU says how anyone finds any of these things so "explosive" or "very socking" to merit any airtime is simply beyond me. Rather, such a girlie talk is ludicrous, ridiculous and laughable. So what if they happened, they are not crimes and every leader gets mocked in their backs, the reason they are leading and not worrying about what comes out of their exhaust tail pipes. John Bolton is just angry that he was fired from his White House's National Security Adviser's job and now he wants to implicate Mike Pompeo as a payback for his leading the effort for Bolton's firing. Please Americans, don't waste your time or money on such a book of sleaze not befitting of a person worthy of the office which he formally occupied. What a walrus. 

JOHN BOLTON: JUST ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE CONTINUING DISTRACTION.

ICHEOKU says it is disgraceful and a dive into the rock bottom the extent some people will go to just for television appearances and in the process make some money. A National Security Adviser, trusted by a president because of his "acute" conservatism, who wanted the president to start so many wars but was rebuffed and finally fired. Now, all he wants to do is rat on the president and make up some stories about the president; and some people find it okay that a former National Security Adviser would sabotage the office he once held in confidence, simply because it is against President Donald John Trump. Really? 

Anyway, it really does not matter what Mr Walrus John Bolton wrote in his book, it won't a difference make nor derail the reelection of the president this November 3rd. He betrayed the trust reposed on him by the president as well as millions of American people who hitherto thought he was a convinced and trustworthy conservative, but not any more. It is just another chapter in the continued attacks of President Donald John Trump by the Deep State and their acolytes as well as the fake news media; and like all others before him, he too shall also fail. The coronavirus hysteria meant to stop the MAGA train and jeep it parked at the station did not succeed as the president is restarting the MAGA train engine in Tulsa on Saturday. The Black Lives Matter's riots is fading away and now their next gambit is to resurrect John Bolton and his chronicle of nonsensical as another mosquito nuisance to buzz the president's ears for another few days more. 

ICHEOKU will not edify John Bolton by reading or buying his book of exaggerated fantasies. It does not matter what is contained in the book, President Donald John Trump will be reelected for a second term on November 3rd. What Billy Bush's Access Hollywood tape could not achieve, another book of sleaze from a Deep Stater will not accomplish. So, John Bolton is wasting his time pawning another book with November 3rd in mind because he will not succeed in changing or effecting the outcome of the election. President Donald John Trump has an unbreakable bond with the American people and he has worked hard enough in his first term to earn a second term and American people will keep him in the White House until 2024. To Hades with the mustachioed one and may he remain there until his whitish lip hairs turn orange again. 

What manner of man is John Bolton anyway that kisses and tells; and now abusing the privilege of the office he once held courtesy of the magnanimity of the president. If a president cannot trust his National Security Adviser, who else could he trust. But it does not matter whether the president cajoled Xi Jinping to buy more soybean or wheat, the president did not commit any crime by doing that, if it is true. The president loves American farmers so much that he was doing whatever worked to open markets for their farm products. So what if he asked or said anything to Chinese Xi. As for whatever opinion Russia's Vladimir Putin may have expressed about the president, that also is his prerogative and it won't a thing change come November 3rd. What happened to manhood that men can no longer be men enough to keep shared confidences and secrets. #WhichRoomWasThat.

RAYSHARD BROOKS KILING: MAYOR BOTTOMS' RUSH TO JUDGMENT AGAINST THE POLICE.

ICHEOKU says administrative rationality demands that those in power and in charge act measuredly, deliberatively and decisively; and not to allow themselves to be stampeded into taking hastily actions without first thinking them through. Mayor of Atlanta Keisha Lance Bottoms was too quick to pronounce judgment on the policeman Garret Rolfe, who killed Rayschard Brooks and also in her demanding the resignation of the former police Chief Erika Shields. The Mayor should have waited until all the facts are in, garnered through investigation, before taking any action against Officer Rolfe who fired the fatal shots and demanding and receiving the resignation of the now former Police Chief Erika Shields. 

Now that it is true that the police officer in hot pursuit acted in self defense as Georgia State Law provides, which classifies taser as a deadly weapon, what will the Atlanta Mayor do to redress the wrong she did to the police man and woman. Will she reinstate  the police chief and also give the policeman his job back or will she sullen away in obstinacy because the killing of Rayschard was according to her, personal because it could have been any of them, people of color. It reminded ICHEOKU of Barack Obama's comment during Trayvon Martin killing by George Zimmerman that had he had a son it would just look like Trayvon. What ICHEOKU does not understand is why people of color in power always play up their skin color, while at the same time not allowing or tolerating white people to also proudly hold up their whiteness. For them, it is always about their skin color but they equally do not want you to treat them as colored people and you marvel at this obvious troubling conflict. 

Anyway, back to the lawfulness of the shooting. The Fulton County District Attorney Paul Ford Jr, while commenting on the other previously fired two Atlanta policemen who tasered two teenagers in a car during the George Floyd's protest, said that tasers are classified by Georgia State laws as a deadly weapon. It therefore naturally follows that a policeman being tasered should act to defend himself with deadly force as well. So, what exactly did the Atlanta Mayor expect a policeman to do when a deadly weapon was being deployed at him, afterall Rayschard Brooks did turn, pointed and discharge the taser at the pursing police officer. Without a doubt, Rayschard Brooks' intention was to demonize the pursuing policeman in order to escape arrest and you wonder why nobody is calling out the infra-digs perpetrated by the now deceased escapee who not only resisted arrest, fought the police, stole their weapon but fired it at the officer in his hot pursuit. 

None of the critics of the policeman is giving him a benefit that he only fired his weapon after Rayschard fired at him, notwithstanding the varying lethality of a taser and a gun. The policeman did not set out to kill Rayschard as both men were running, the police chasing Rayschard, until suddenly, fearing capture, Rayschard changed the game into a armed shooting conflict. Yes, everyone agrees that the policeman should have been more circumspect with discharging his gun, but that is besides the point. The controlling issue is whether he was authorized and allowed under the law to discharge his weapon and not how he chose to exercise the discretion. His state of mind when he fired his weapon is imperative and only he can say exactly what was running through his mind at the time his index finger made contact with the trigger. So, what every other person says or thinks about what he did is irrelevant, once it is established that he acted within the law. 

His action may be horrible but it is not unlawful and if not unlawful, there is no criminal violation, hence no criminal liability. It was not premeditated either nor was it accompanied by malice since both men were having a polite chat before Rayschard decided to become uncooperative, leading to the cascade of wrong events which culminated in his being killed. At most, the policeman could be blamed for not being more restrained and not firing his gun, but he had the supreme right to fire his gun under the circumstance and he broke no law by doing that. It was a decision which was his to make and he chose to not restrain himself and fired his gun. He chose to exercise his given prerogative under Georgia State's law which makes it permissible for a policeman to use deadly force to defend himself against a suspect's deadly weapon. A taser is classified as a deadly weapon under Georgia's extant law and he acted accordingly. 

ICHEOKU says Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was too quick to act and acted too hastily in firing the police officer and demanding and receiving the resignation of the police chief. The Mayor wanted to please her black people who were irate that another black man was killed by a white policeman and their anger is understandable. But the Mayor must understand that she is not a Mayor for only black people as other people live in Atlanta too. White people, Hispanic, Indians, Chinese, Arabs, Asians, Caribbean, Africans etc are other people who live in Atlanta and these people want to see justice done as well. These people should also factor into what black Mayor Bottoms does and this imperative should always be part of what guides her actions. Now, therefore, the Mayor must equally bravely address her black folks and explain to them why the policeman did nothing wrong and that he acted as he was authorized under the law of the State of Georgia to act. 

Thereafter, the Mayor should give back to the policeman his badge and gun and also recall the forced out police chief. That is the right call to make under the existing Georgia State law which classifies taser as a deadly weapon. The Mayor must also understand that she is a mayor for all, including the policeman and the forced out police chief, and not just the vocal black lives matter group. Both the policeman and the former police chief deserves justice as well. Fairness demands that nobody passes sentence on anybody without first examining all the facts in the case, especially where an existing law is on the accused's side. ICHEOKU says no matter how abhorable what now former policeman Garret Rolfe did might seem, he did not break the law and without breaking the law he committed no crime for which he should lose his job or in any other way be held criminally liable, period. #GIveHimBackHisBadgeAndGun. #RecallThePoliceChief

BE HONEST: WHO DO YOU WANT AS YOUR PRESIDENT

ICHEOKU says paraphrasing Joe Biden's retort to Breakfast Club's Charlamagne the god, if you haven't figured that out yet and still remains undecided, what is wrong with you? Haven't you seen which candidate that exudes the confidence necessarily required and needed in a leader to inspire Americans and checkmate her adversaries. 

If the masked Joe Biden cannot facedown coronavirus, how can he stare down China's Xi Jinping, North Korea's Kim Jong Un, Iran's Ayatollah and of course the Kremlin bad boy Russia's Vladimir Putin. Joe Biden, simply too weak and too feeble to lead America. His days are now in the rear mirror. #Vote4Trump. #VoteForOutstandingLeadership. #VoteFor4MoreYears of simply genius. In Trump we trust America's presidency until 2024.

ELECTION 2020: JOE BIDEN REFUSES TO CLOSE THE DEAL WITH BLACK PEOPLE.

ICHEOKU says several times has the presumptive presidential candidate nominee of the Democratic Party, former Vice President Joe Biden, been given the opportunity to seal the deal with black people on their votes this November 3rd, but severally has he refused to ink the deal. Joe Biden has on numerous occasions been asked to commit to choosing a black female vice presidential candidate, but he has flatly refused to do so, because he does not want a black woman as his vice presidential running mate. 

Instead, he promised to appoint a black woman to the United States Supreme Court and also as a cabinet Secretary in his government. If Joe Biden is willing to publicly commit to the later two but is not willing to so commit as to the vice presidential slot, it shows that he does not want to and will not choose a black female as his vice presidential candidate. Possibly because a black woman is not good enough for Joe Biden to have as his Vice President should he win; thus begging the question does Joe Biden really like black people and does he still deserves the black votes, reciprocity considered. 

If Joe Biden does not like black people enough to choose one of their female as his vice presidential candidate, what does that really tell black people about Joe Biden and his supposed love for black people. Joe Biden authored the 1994 Crime Bill and that is a testament of his abiding love for black people, all the pretenses notwithstanding. Why is Joe Biden coy in directly answering this question, whether he will pick a black female as his vice presidential candidate. He emphatically responded that he will appoint a black female to the Supreme Court and a cabinet position, but vehemently refused to commit on the position of the vice presidential candidacy. 

This is a Supreme Court position which twice became available during the Obama/Biden government, but on both occasions, Joe Biden and Barack Obama overlooked black women and instead appointed two other women, one white and the other Hispanic; but the same Joe Biden now wants us to believe that if black people vote for him that he will reward them with a female black Justice of the Supreme Court. If Joe Biden could not persuade and encourage Barack Obama to appoint a black female as associate Justice of the Supreme Court Justice then, what is the guarantee that he will do so if elected with black votes. But he knows that he cannot win the presidency without black votes and he is doing and saying whatever comes to his mouth, short of the vice presidential position, to secure black votes. 

It is about time black people told Joe Biden enough, give him an ultimatum to choose a black woman as his vice presidential candidate or forget about black votes on November 3rd. It should no longer be a case of use and dump black people, but an express quid pro quo of one good turn deserves another. Black people secured the presidential nomination for Joe Biden with South Carolina, so why he finding it difficult to return this love by running his ticket with a black female. Enough of the using of black people only to get to where they want politically and then abandoning them at the doorstep. 

A case of continuously treating black people as only good for cooking the dinner but not good enough to be on the dinner table should not be tolerated this election 2020. A situation of black people continuously baking the electoral cake for the Democratic Party and being kept out of the cake dinner must end. Why must black people be only good for their votes and not good to participate in presidential governance. Enough of the Democratic Party's ingratitude. 

If Joe Biden refuses to pick a black female fro run with him, then there is no point of black people voting for Joe Biden this November. Black people should then either totally boycott the presidential election of November 3rd or vote for President Donald John Trump in protest. Joe Biden has been in Washington DC for over 40 years without anything to show that he improved the lives of black people in America. Joe Biden also authored the 1994 Crime Bill that incarcerated millions of black people and destroyed a lot of black families in America. Joe Biden's other racist undertones are equally well documented. 

Therefore, if a black woman is not good enough to run with Joe Biden on a ticket, then black people have no inheritance in any resulting Joe Biden's presidency; hence there is no use of supporting him to get there. It is imperative and there should be no choice about it, it is either Joe Biden seals the deal with black people by picking a black woman as his running mate or all the bets are off with the support of black people, period. This  demand should be unequivocal and this demand should also be non negotiable and this demand cannot be compromised. #BidenMustPickABlackWoman or no deal with black votes.

HAPPY 74TH MR PRESIDENT.

ICHEOKU says happy 74th and we shall also celebrate all through to your 78th in the White House as well. Thank you for all your sacrifices for America. May the good Lord keep you safe and healthy IJN. You will live long and healthy to finish your second term in office with astounding success and then retire happily to enjoy your sunset days in peace. #4MoreYears.

RAYSHARD BROOKS KILLED BY POLICE IN ATLANTA, DID EVERYTHING WRONG.

ICHEOKU says unfortunately he has now become a statistic in the number of black people killed by the police in the United States of America, but he somewhat actively courted his cruel fate. Unlike George Floyd who did nothing to instigate his death, the reason his killing resonated throughout the world, Rayshard Brooks precipitated his own demise. But his actions should not in anyway excuse the police use of excessive lethal force. He should not have been killed regardless, but he is now dead and all anyone can do now is to engage in the proverbial Monday Night Quarterbacking, but hindsight is always too late. 

Rayshard Brooks went against the grain of every teachings which black people are given, mostly by their parents, on how to ensure that they stay alive each time they have an encounter with the police. He ignored them and it cost him dearly. He did exactly the opposite of the things he should not have done and it ended tragically in the loss of his life, the same thing which the teachings were meant to avoid. Black people are taught to be respectful to the police, to listen to their commands as attentively as they give them,  obey the the police, not to resist police arrest, not to fight with the police, not to go for police weapons and not run from the police. They are asked to see their behavior as the only thing that will determine whether they live or die each time the police makes contact with them. 

But Rayshard Brooks, either because he was disorientated or under the influence, forgot the guide of staying alive and with it threw away his life. He was disrespectful to the police, he did not listen to their command, he did not obey the police, he resisted arrest, he fought with the police, he took their weapon and he ran from the police. To make matters worse, he pointed the very weapon which he took from them at them and he discharged it. It does not matter that the weapon was a taser gun and could not have killed the police as his deductible intention was to disable and incapacitate the pursuing officer in order to enable him get away from their pursuit. Yes indeed, had the taser struck the policeman, it would have incapacitated him momentarily and Brooks would have escaped. Rayshard Brooks would have still fired the weapon were it a real gun as firing of the taser supplied such intent and his preoccupation was to avoid capture. 

Further, Rayshard Brooks was driving drunk and/or operating a vehicle under the influence and the fact that he was at a stop when the confrontation began does not negate this fact. The operative test is whether the vehicle was under his control while inebriated wit intention to move it from one place to another. The answer is yes because a drive through at a Wendy's restaurant is not his garage nor driveway or any other parking lot or spot.  Therefore he was actively engaged in the driving and operation of a motor vehicle while drunk or under the influence of some habituates or other intoxicants which incommoded his safe operation of the vehicle. It is a criminal behavior and a vehicle is a deadly weapon for purposes of grounding liability, although one of his lawyers appears not to know this consequential fact when he disputed on CNN that his client's dead father had no deadly weapon. 

So, in addition to driving or operating a vehicle under the influence, Rayshard Brooks also resisted arrest, fought with the police, stole police weapon, ran from the police and then discharged the weapon at the police in hot pursuit. As a black man in America, he would be alive today if only he had listened to all the teachings on what to do when in contact with the police. But he did all the things which he should not do, any of which would have still been sufficient for the police to shoot him as they often do to black people. He triggered the police and contributed to his being shot because he should have known better and behaved as if his life depended on it. It is unfortunate that another black person has to die in the hands of the police for no rational reason at all; admitted the victim facilitated it through bad behavior. 

But that be that as it may, it is a shame that two policemen could not hold just one black man down on the ground and long enough to subdue and handcuff him. It is also pitiful that one of the policeman was so careless to allow his taser gun to be taken by the now deceased Rayshard Brooks. Also, the policeman should not have discharged his gun three times at a fleeing Rayshard Brooks, but should have remained in pursuit while help arrived to help apprehend the fleeing suspect. He acted recklessly and was too quick to discharge his gun at the back of a fleeing suspect, aware that the suspect is fatigued and will not run very far before being caught. As a trained police officer, he also knows the limited lethality of a taser gun and that his life was not overly in danger, so he cannot say that he was afraid for his life and fired in self defense. 

ICHEOKU says although it is quite obvious that Rayshard Brooks fired the taser at the policeman because he wanted to incapacitate the officer in order to facilitate his escape from the hot pursuit. But what is within the knowledge of the officer that taser has a very limited impact, is what is paramount here; so he should not have used bullets to counter a man who was firing taser at him. He was too quick to pull his gun and it has now cost him his job and possibly soon his freedom when convicted. It has also cost the Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields her job, who was forced to resign as a result. It also cost Wendy's a store which was burnt down by angry black people who were mad that another black person was killed by the police at a Wendy's lot, although ICHEOKU is still wondering what Wendy's culpability in the shooting was all about? 

ICHEOKU says does not think the police chief should have resigned, afterall the police chief in Minneapolis is still on his job despite all the killings by the police, including George Floyd, in that Minnesota State city. Also, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was too quick in firing the officer and would have ordered his suspension from active duty pending further investigation. But the urgency she displayed is understandable as she wanted to placate a restive Atlanta majority black crowd who would have destroyed more things in a riot demanding for action. It was the delay by Minneapolis authorities over the George Floyd's murder that actually triggered the protests and riots that followed, after the people waited endlessly for the arrest of the involved policemen without any movement by the authorities. This was what the Atlanta Mayor sought to avoid and she succeeded. 

Anyway, the main problem with policing in America is that ex military people do a job which civilians should be doing. Most of the people usually hired as policemen and women are former battle tested soldiers who are trained to kill. Soldiers are trained to kill but not to amicably resolve disputes and conflicts. They only know how to escalate but not deescalate situations, hence their killer instinct usually goes into overdrive whenever they are faced with situations. Many of them do not know about conflict resolution or how to patiently lower down the charged tense atmosphere. Their training equip them to neutralize the subject as quickly as possible and such a habit is hard to get rid of. It is all in their reflexes and the short police academy training is not sufficient to override the killer instinct in them, which they learnt at various military forts and which they used for most of their life before rejoining civilian life. 

So as the nation continues to explore ways of reforming the police, they should seriously consider hiring only civilians as police to do the civilian job of policing. If they must hire ex military, to ensure that they are trained sufficiently well to inculcate in them the right, proper and correct way of defusing tensions, instead of just shooting the trouble away by quickly neutralizing the subject. 

Hopefully other black people in America will learn a bitter lesson from his death and recommit themselves today to be more proactive in protecting their lives whenever the police make contact with them. By listening to the police as commanded, not fighting the police, obeying their instructions, not seizing police weapons, not resisting arrest and not running from the police, they will live until the next episode. Even if they did nothing wrong, they should learn to just suck it up and can always sue the city later for a wrongful police arrest and detention. First things first, black people must learn to stay alive in any police encounter as a dead person has no more rights whatsoever. Please black people, reassure yourselves that you will not let the police kill you by memorizing the rules of engagement and recite them each time the police confronts you and immediately put them into use. May the soul of Rayshard Brooks now rest. 

RACISM IN AMERICA: THE SCAPEGOATING OF THE POLICE.

ICHEOKU says the first indication of racial America is the classification of Americans according to their respective tribes including African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Latin Americans, Russian Americans, Chinese Americans, Mexican Americans, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, Russian Americans, Black Americans and the list goes on and you wonder why not just Americans. 

But the intention is to drive wedges between the people and keep them divided; and that way prevent a full assimilation and total integration of all the people who found themselves mired in the conundrum of Americanism. Instead of all the prefixes and respective tribe identifier/markers, why not just refer to every American as an American, one would ask.  But no, the intention is well known; it is to divide and conquer the people in order to maintain the existing internal hegemony of white people over other people in America. They made it so in order to keep other disparate Americans fighting each other for survival and trying to curry favor from white people by snitching on other minorities in order to remain in the good book of white people. 

It is a game of survival and white people know exactly how the game is played, they pit one minority group against the other minority group and watch them fight each other and whoever survives is made the supervisor who then reports to them. They are good at what they are doing and they have successfully achieved their desired goal of keeping American people separately apart from each other and dug in, in their own respective hamlets, zones and neighborhoods and to the near exclusion of other Americans who do not look like them nor share their experiences and backgrounds. 

This is the reason you have various towns and neighborhoods in America reflecting some cultural backgrounds which they pass off as celebrating those cultures, but it is not. It makes the multi cultural American society a ruse because there is no real integration when a Chinese American lives in ChinaTown and white man lives in their own neighborhood, ditto blacks, Italians, Hispanics etc. 

This shows that America is not the monolithic society which it is often projected as. Rather, it a motley of different people, from diverse cultures and backgrounds; people who are from everywhere and who are laboriously mired in what Joe Biden once described as a racial jungle and trying to survive. This causes the frequent escalation of tension in the society between each rival groups as everyone wants for themselves what the other has, hence the survival of the fittest attitude and the treating of the needs of their own kind as superseding the needs of others. As a result any person who finds himself or herself in a position of authority, no matter at what level, usually saturates the place with their own people, firing others and bringing in their own people to fill the vacancies. They want to maintain dominance and increase their own peoples economic fortunes and they must exclude others to get their desired objective. 

It is generally broad and it goes from janitorial to the highest office in the land, both in private and public sectors. With jobs and other economic opportunities given to their own people, wealth is created within their tribe and they fare much better, while the other less fortunate tribes are left with little to nothing to take care of themselves and their own people. This economic exclusion of others is not limited to white people as the Chinese, the Mexicans, the Hispanics, the Japanese, the Russians, the Filipinos, the Jews and everyone else who can, bakes the cake primarily for their own kind. As a result, those who are shafted and left with nothing, engage in all manner of things for survival including strong arm robbery. It is this institutionalized tension in the American society that the police exists to maintain a firm lid over and prevent it from boiling over; and often times are demanded to quell any arising fallouts from. 

A thankless difficult job but they do it anyway as that was what they signed up to. The police are also from diverse backgrounds as every American and share in the same biases and resentment of others who are not members of their tribe, admitted mostly internalized until acted out. They also have their employers, usually the Mayor and those at City Halls with police supervisory jobs, who they have to satisfy to remain employed. So, they do whatever they can to not only keep their jobs by maintaining order and to be in the good book of those in power who must be protected from the angst of the ever eruptive have nots. It is in the attempt to balance these loyalties that they often times overreach and over perform, leading to excessive use of force. 

This is why it always takes a protest before the condemnations of the police because their employers are fully aware of the underlying smoldering tension but keeps quiet until it boils over. How many times has a policeman or woman ever been disciplined for their misconduct before protests erupts, as many protests usually start after the people have waited for those in charge to take action but to no avail. The protest from the Minneapolis killing of George Floyd could have been averted if the Minneapolis police department and the Mayor acted summarily in disciplining the offenders and charging them to court for what they did. But they waited, thinking that things will quieten  down to sweep it under the rug as usual but they miscalculated this time. 

The police is being constantly harangued and hounded as if they are the only cause of the problem when the politicians that hire them and abuse them, demand that they accomplish so much with limited resources and then turn around to deride them when things go wrong. They forget that the police are human beings too, that they have feelings and that also they have families as well. The police are not superhuman, admitted they are asked to undertake dangerous assignment chasing down and arresting the dregs of society, take and accept what other humans cannot take and accept. They want the police to catch bullets being fired at them with their teeth but never to fire back at the criminals who want them dead. They forget that the police are afraid too and wants to return home to their families at the end of each work shift. But how the police is expected to mission accomplish on all they are asked to do and still not make mistakes is what ICHEOKU is still trying to figure out. 

So please spare ICHEOKU all the pretentious indignation that George Floyd, was killed. He was not the first black person to be inhumanly executed by the police and he will not be the last. His murder was not even the first time such horrendous treatment or killing of a black person was captured on video, Rodney King and Eric Garner were both captured on video but elicited no such outcry. But suddenly everybody just woke up to the issue of race in America and the fact that black people have been on the business end of the spear of racism. 

But it is an election year and their main target is President Donald John Trump, so they must hype everything up to near breaking point in order to get the president. But again, they have failed because American people saw through the charade as the president is not the Governor of Minnesota nor the Mayor or Police Chief of Minneapolis under whose jurisdiction George Floyd was murdered. It is instructive that all the three men are all Democrats. 

So why exactly is the police being singled out and hung to dry as if they are doing something which their employers does not know about or did not want them to do. Their employers want the police to keep them safe and the police must do whatever it takes to achieve the objective. If their employers are not afraid of a society which they created, they would have since disarmed or disbanded the police. But they know the consequences of such a reckless act as they will be the first victims of a lawless state of affairs without a police to call to their rescue. The police are only the enforcement arm of the society which hired them to do exactly as commanded, yet some people are now questioning the police without questioning the politicians who hired them and under whose supervision they work. Why is the outcry not to defund politics or disband politicians instead of the police.The police, no matter how low their estimation are still better than politicians, yet America has not disbanded Washington DC, Governor's houses and City Halls. 

ICHEOKU says please stop singling out just the police for chastising because the whole system is skewed up, from Wall Street to Main Street, from Washington DC to various City Halls including in private businesses that do not hire black people and landlords that do not rent to black people to money managers in banks that do not lend to black people and when they do, at exorbitantly high interest rate. People should stop blaming the police for they are just a product of a society that have no regard for black people and treats their breaths as if it does not matter. So, why expect the police to be any different and for them to allow black people to breath when the general society does not. It is better if the the fix is wholly throughout the society or lets stop the occasional pretense and waddle on in the American experience which is bleeding.

THEY ATTACKED HIM BECAUSE HE RAISED THE BIBLE.

ICHEOKU says forget about their pretentious rage that "innocent" protesters were teargassed near Lafayette Park. The main issue was that President Donald John Trump dared to raise the Holy Book for the whole world to see. Yes, the president held up the Bible in front of St John's church and to the crazy progressive left wing nut jobs, such was an abominable act punishable with execution. They were livid that the president was encouraging trust, believe and faith in God and they descended on him like blood hounds and vampires. 

What the president did was akin to showing Dracula the cross.  They were incensed and they were mired in a ravenous rage. If not for the Bible they saw, everything would have died down after a mere mention, but they piled on. Anyway, one with God is majority and on November 3rd, the good Lord will raise the president high as the president raised the good Lord's words high. President Donald John Trump is in battle for God's place in America as well as the American people and he shall be victorious IJN. #OnNovember3rdVote4Trump.

JOE BIDEN'S VEEPEE SHORTLIST: NONE WILL TAKE HIM TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

ICHEOKU says former Vice President Joe Biden would fare much better running without a vice presidential candidate than run with any of the shortlisted six candidates because of their obvious shortcomings. In short, he is in a Catch-22 quandary and no matter who he selects, there will be a heavy price to pay because of who he did not select. There is a big fight to the finish between white women and black women over who, between them, should be Joe Biden's rightful vice presidential candidate. This is increasingly becoming non negotiable because of the high stakes involved. It is obvious that whoever Joe Biden chooses as his Vice President will end up becoming the president by reason of incapacity of her principal, President Joe Biden, assuming he pulls off such a near impossibility. Even if Joe Biden did not abdicate his office, such his Vice President will overall be very powerful as a heavily diminished Joe Biden will farm out most of his presidential duties to the Vice President. 

So the struggle for a Vice Presidential candidate position has never been this high in the history of choosing such a candidate, resulting in the internecine war currently going on  amongst Democratic Party women in their effort to clinch the position. This has forced Joe Biden into a real bind of a no choice, choosing; as the various competing forces will end up tearing his presidential bid apart. A boondoggle of some sort that who ever he selects, he will pay dearly for it. For instance, if Joe Biden selects a white woman, black people will protest the choice and will either walk away or have a diminished enthusiasm going into the November 3rd election. Conversely, if he selects a black woman, white women and some formerly leaning Joe Biden white men will revolt against him and join the rest of the majority white people who are voting to reelect President Donald John Trump for a second term. But choosing a Hispanic is not an option nor a Solomonic way of resolving the impasse. 

Even the six already shortlisted women, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Keisha Lance Bottoms, Valdez Venita Demings, Susan Rice and Michelle Luja Grisham will all bring more problems to the ticket than they will solve. They all come with their baggage and none will bring anything to the ticket such as star power, fund raising and winning a swing State for the ticket. This begs the question, what does Joe Biden want to achieve with any of this women if they will not bring the traditional benefits normally associated with a vice presidential choice to the ticket. All of them poses potential problem for the ticket and should be rather avoided than embraced; only that there is nobody who will not spell the same disaster for an already disastrous campaign whose principal is barley holding on. Lets examine what these women mean to the ticket or rather will being to the ticket:- 

If Joe Biden chooses Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and his supporters will not find it funny but very disrespectful. They will conclude that the promise to her by Joe Biden of a vice presidential slot was what made her to sell Bernie Sanders out during the Democratic Party's primaries. That because of the promise, she dumped their collective progressivism, betrayed the cause by not stepping aside before South Carolina primaries for Bernie Sanders, spoilt it for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and finally refused to endorse a fellow progressive Bernie Sanders and endorsed Joe Biden. Also Elizabeth Warren belongs to the wild eyed white liberal feminists wing of the Democratic Party and other more conservative white women as well as black women will not accept her choice as Joe Biden's choice for vice presidential candidate. Otherwise, she is eminently well qualified and she is a great debater. 

If on the other hand, Joe Biden selects Kamala Harris to be his vice presidential candidate  that will be a great mistake as nobody, black or white, likes Kamala Harris. She is mean spirited and during her time as Attorney General of California there was a mass incarceration of people, some of them for offenses as petty as marijuana possession. Black Americans don't see her as really one of them because she is technically Jamaican and/or Indian at best. They will not readily accept another "foreign" black American as their representative in the power struggle after Barack Obama, who many still see as not being black American enough. Kamala Harris is also not fully down with the struggle, not being a descendant of slaves and embracing her will be difficult. She cannot raise funds and she has no star power to bring in the volume of funds needed for a what will be a very expensive campaign like no other before it. Also, white people do not particularly like her because of what she did to Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his Senate confirmation hearing. She is not a mother and never raised children, so she cannot relate to mothers enough to bring them over to voting for Joe Biden. Even though she lost it during the primaries , her State California is already safely tucked in for the Democrats and she cannot win any other State for the ticket. She is a deficit and not a credit, so Joe Biden will not pick her. 

Then enter the Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, an otherwise safe bet; but being black, will not go down well with the white liberal feminists wing of the Democratic Party, who wants a white woman as Joe Biden's vice presidential pick. She is not an extremist, she is down with the struggle and she will be acceptable to black Americans. But she has no star power to bring in the funds, no national clout and she will not even win Georgia, her State, for the campaign, thus begging the question, what is her utility? 

Another name on the shortlist, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham would otherwise be another safe bet, but she is Hispanic and neither white nor black people will accept her rapid ascendancy over them, especially not now, with so much at the stake. Also, she does not have the star power to bring anything to the ticket including funding. She will only win New Mexico which ordinarily always breaks for the Democratic Party and so, she will not be picked. 

Susan Rice, although a Washington DC Deep State insider, who has been playing the game of the Democratic Party for such a long time since the days of President Bill Clinton, is eminently qualified for the position, but she is hated by Americans. Her role in the Obama administration, especially the orchestration of the Russian Collusion has dented her so much that her chances of being selected is greatly diminished. She will be a big liability for the ticket than an asset. Also, she does not have the star power clout to reel in the big money and there is no State in particular which she can win for the ticket. Even Joe Biden's wife Jill will oppose her selection, so no deal. 

That leaves only the Orlando Florida former police chief and member of House of Representatives from 10th Congressional district, Valdez Venita Demings, as the strongest safe choice for Joe Biden. First, she is real American black woman and she is not too controversial. Her background in law enforcement is also a sure asset at this time of great tribulation in the country following the standoff between the police and the Black Lives Matter. She might help broker a truce and assuage the tension between black people and the police, being one of them respectively. The only problem is that she lacks star power and will also not bring anything of strength to the ticket including funding. She will also not win Florida for the ticket which invariably makes her utility less delightful. 

Anyway, it really does not matter who Joe Biden eventually settles on, none of them will bring anything extraordinary to the ticket nor will help the ticket win any major voting bloc or the White House. In this November 3rd 2020 election, Joe Biden is between the hard rock and a concrete wall or as the more popular aphorism will have it between the devil and the deep blue sea; either way he goes or chooses, he will lose. So, for heavens sake, he might as well just cast his lot with any of the six women and just blame her for his eventual inevitable loss on November 3rd, because President Donald John Trump will win his reelection for a second term handily. It does not matter who Joe Biden picks as his vice presidential running mate, the president has done enough to earn a second term and he will win his reelection. 

The only thing worthy of commendation in the shortlist is the absence of the Atlanta Governor Stacy Abraham, who thought that winning Atlanta tantamount to winning the State of Georgia. It portrayed Joe Biden in a good serious light as her inclusion would have spelt catastrophe for the campaign. Stacy is quite a handful and she would have destroyed whatever was going on for the Joe Biden's campaign. She is a hot potato and it was good Joe Biden dropped her like it was hot, because she is indeed too hot to handle. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was missing in the list too, which was also very good as she came across as too despotic during the coronavirus lockdown. She brought too many eyeballs on herself and they were mostly unforgiving. Such too controversial figures are not a benefit to any ticket and it was good Joe Biden did not touch both women and left them to their own hothead devices. But hey, who shall it be, Demings or Warren; ICHEOKU tilts Valdez Venita Demings.

GENERAL CHARLES Q, BROWN: NEW AIR FORCE CHIEF, CONGRATULATIONS.

ICHEOKU says President Donald John Trump has once again delivered to the black American community, appointing for the first time in the history of America, a black person as head of a branch of the United States of America Armed Forces, the Air Force. A man of action who believes in tangible deliverables; unlike the Democrats who has been riding black people dirty for a long time without anything for black people to show for their never unyielding loyalty to the party. 

The president was right when he asked black people during the last election, what do they got to lose voting for him and since his inauguration has delivered a lot for the black community in America including a Surgeon General of the United States, Criminal Reform and now the Air Force chief among many other things. ICHEOKU says any black person who does not vote for President Donald John Trump on November 3rd is an unappreciative ingrate who chose to be blinded by the unexplained hatred for the president, especially as Joe Biden damaged the black community more, his 1994 Crime Bill considered. 

ICHEOKU says will vote for the president and before then, will continue to vigorously campaign for his reelection and he will be reelected. Congratulations to the new Air Force Chief General Charles Q Brown and also to President Donald John Trump for making that impossible opportunity possible. Without a doubt, black people are certainly moving forward under the president more than they have ever been under any previous president. The president has done enough to earn their vote on November 3rd and hopefully they will give the president reason to continue delivering for them in his next term.
