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!

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.

JOE BIDEN HAS A LOW OPINION OF BLACK PEOPLE: QUITE CONDESCENDING.

ICHEOKU says the only way black people in America can politically assert themselves and regain voters respectability is to resoundingly reject Joe Biden's presidential candidacy this November 3rd 2020. They can achieve this by either casting protest votes for President Donald John Trump or simply seating out the election between the two white men by completely boycotting the election. But to still vote for Joe Biden after all he did and said against black people, believing that Joe Biden is the black presidential candidate or that he is a lesser evil than Trump, will be a testament of cluelessness, a lack of sense of self worth and an affirmation of unthinking herd mentality. 

For a man who does not care about black people or rather who has a very low opinion about black people to get black votes will show that Joe Biden was right about his assessment of black people as incapable of independent thinking or that black people do not in fact know any better and are sheepishly led. Otherwise how could any proud black person vote for a man who repeatedly castigates and disparages black people without a care in the world. It simply does not make sense that after the many disparaging things which Joe Biden has said about black people that he should still be getting much support from black people. A matter made worse because Joe Biden has not yet even spelt out any target specific policies meant to ameliorate black people's hardship in America which he will pursue if elected. 

Yet this is the fella some black politicians and pastors alike are supporting for president and asking black people to vote for. ICHEOKU says do these black leadership actually care for black people or are they just in it for what they can get from it, otherwise why are they not holding Joe Biden to account for his many anti black people racist speaks. It was not once or twice nor thrice that Joe Biden has disparaged black people for them to still be dismissed as misspeaks or mistakes. No, Joe Biden has repeatedly done and said so much anti black people things and continues till today that it has become a pattern and an indelible part of who he is. Joe Biden is a good ole white boy with racist DNA in his blood, his unsuccessful attempt to mask it notwithstanding. It is very condescending of Joe Biden to think this way and he is unapologetic about living his white privilege life. 

ICHEOKU says it was not a misspeak when Joe Biden recently on Charlemagne da God's Breakfast Club made the "you ain't black" comment. So also was not a mistake his latest anti black people comment that unlike Hispanic people, black people are monolithic and generic in thought. A matter made worse because this statement was made by Joe Biden barely twenty four hours after Joe Biden had suggested that a black CBS interviewer possibly have cocaine in his system. As always, Joe Biden usually sees black people as drug dopes and because the CBS guy is black that automatically made him a drug using suspect. There is no other reason Joe Biden brought up the drug use other than that the interviewer is black, otherwise why did he raise the issue against him and not the other fellow interviewers. This his belief also possibly explains why he championed the 1994 Crime Bill that disproportionately punished crack cocaine use by black people with stiffer sentences than powder cocaine use by White people. 

There is a developed pattern of Joe Biden's inclinations to always put black people down and in their place. So, any person still excusing Joe Biden's obvious prejudice against black people is either living in denial or is impaired by his or her hatred for President Donald John Trump into concluding that any person will be a better president for black people than the current president. ICHEOKU says to those apologists of Joe Biden who frequently excuses his anti black people rhetorics as gaffes, why is it that these gaffes occur only when he is speaking about black people? How many times has Joe Biden ever gaffed about White people, Asian people, Chinese people or Hispanic people. It shows that his mouth indeed spits out what his mind is really thinking and exactly where his heart is, that black people are inferior to him and technically still in bondage of slavery, the reason they do and vote exactly as told and are incapable of voting their conscience and interest. 

It did not start with this 2020 election cycle as Joe Biden has a storied anti black people dispositions within his portfolio, enough to disqualify and not elect him president because without black votes, he does not stand a chance in hell of being elected president. Black people must therefore register their displeasure at what Joe Biden have reduced them to, mere unthinking, mind numbed robots who always vote as commanded. ICHEOKU says any black person who votes for Joe Biden this November 3rd 2020 election, a fight between two rich white men, has no honor left in them. If they are so appalled at the president that they cannot bring themselves to vote for him, they should sit out the election rather than confirm what Joe Biden said of them as incapable of making independent decisions, especially as to how to vote and who to vote for in an election. 

Joe Biden is who Joe Biden is. He is a good ole racist white boy who hates the audacity of black people who don't know that they were once in chains. He was thinking as much himself when he said "they gonna put you all back in chains" and he also once boasted that his State of Delaware was a slaves owning State which bestowed him the right credentials of a Southerner, which in turn will help make his candidacy viable in the racist Deep South. Joe Biden's love for the White race and his desire to be counted amongst segregationists led him to sing the praises of unapologetic segregationists such as Jesse Helms, Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd. Joe Biden also opposed school busing and the NAACP once described an amendment to a bill which he wrote as "anti black people and a set back for the Civil Rights Act." It was Joe Biden's racist tendencies that made him decry a desegregated America as a racial jungle in which he did not want his children and grand children to grow up in. 

Yet this is the man some black people are giving credit for loving black people and you wonder on what parameters were their assessment based. It is also on record that Joe Biden said that he had never seen a black person who is articulate, bright and clean until Barack Obama happened unto the stage and you wonder how scornful he was of Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson, Ron Brown, Marcus Garvey, Louis Farrakhan, John Lewis and so many other erudite black people who walked the earth in America ever before Barack Obama was conceived. In the entire black race of America, for over 500 years, 33 million plus strong of them, yet Joe Biden did not consider anyone of them "articulate, bright and clean" until 2008. If this does not say something about Joe Biden's condescending opinion about black people, then nothing else short of him calling black people Niggers on CNN will qualify. 

A man who could describe convicted black people as predators who are too sociopathic to rehabilitate is not a man who black people should believe in and so much to want to elect him president. Black people have no inheritance in the house (presidency) of Joe Biden and therefore they should not help him become president. What is the point of black people voting for Joe Biden when he has this low opinion about black people. As a black person, don't you feel revulsed about the things which Joe Biden has said against black people and if, why do you still want to reward him with your vote. 

ICHEOKU says to black people, if ever there is a time to forcefully reject and denounce servitude in America and for once, assert your black selves as equal to Joe Biden and his white folks, this November 3rd election is it. It is either you vote for the other guy to register your protest against Joe Biden or you don't vote at all for either white men. That will make much difference and a better statement than voting for a man who takes black people for granted. 

Black people, with your votes, you must tell Joe Biden and his white liberal Democrats that they cannot win the White House without you and because they indeed need your votes to win, they must work very hard to earn your votes and not take you for granted any more. Also, that such days of a conformed voting order are long gone when they treat black votes as already in the bag and could care less about what black people need and want out of a given presidency. Further  that black people are not herd animals who can easily be corralled into a voting bloc, without any input on why they should vote for a particular candidate as directed and what is in it for them. Like with other tribes in America, black people should learn how to first demand and obtained beneficial solid commitments from candidates before they vote for them. 

It is obvious beyond any disbelief that racist Joe Biden does not like black people and he regularly shows this. It is wrong and it is condemnable for Joe Biden to despise black people so much that he regularly bluntly voices out his dislike of them. It is not a mere coincidental gaffes that within just a space of less than three months that "you ain't black", "you should be tested for cocaine" and "black people have no diverse thought" came out of Joe Biden's mouth consecutively. It is where his heart is and what his mind is thinking that black people ain't worth much in his eyes. Therefore, any black person still making excuses for Joe Biden's racist inclinations or telling black people to still vote for Joe Biden this November 3rd, 2020 is not worthy of their blackness. 

They should free themselves from their mental slavery which generates the inferiority complex to be beholden to a known racist white man Joe Biden. Please black people do not encourage Joe Biden's racism, do not elect him president because he has not earned your votes, do not vote for him on November 3rd. Instead seat out the election, just boycott the election and let the two rich white men fight it out by themselves and of course for themselves. Joe Biden does not like black people and he treats them disrespectfully and an in kind return favor is deservingly apposite that he may finally feel what it is like to be not loved. Joe Biden does not deserve black votes because he has not earned it and should therefore not get them. #SayNoToJoe.

HARVEY WEINSTEIN: WHY AGAIN WAS HE SENT TO PRISON FOR 23 YEARS?

ICHEOKU says the fact that Tara Reade is a woman and was not believed has forced ICHEOKU to revisit the Harvey Weinstein ordeal and ask where was the justice therein? If the woman who accused Joe Biden of sexual molestation cannot be believed, why should the women who similarly accused Harvey Weinstein be believed? Why was the believability of women not be a one-cap fits all standard for all men accused by women of sexually assaulting and molesting them. It should be an all or nothing standard, either to believe all women or not to believe any woman at all. 

Why would Joe Biden walk when Harvey Weinstein is caged for 23 years or are politically exposed persons somewhat special breed of people that they enjoy greater immunity than those who finance their campaigns and support their runs for elected office. It would seem that Harvey Weinstein was used and dumped by all those politicians who cavorted his wealth to help fund their election campaigns, only to abandon him in his hour of greatest need. Where were the Clintons, the Obamas and so many other politicians who benefitted from Harvey Weinstein's political campaign contribution largess when he needed them to pull needed strings to spring him out of the jaws of the law. And the women who lined up to bear testimony against him, some of them false of course, they too used and dumped him as they suddenly forgot how he made them who they are and without him, they would probably not have succeeded in Hollywood. 

These women were possessed by a maddening urge to get even with the man who insisted on first sleeping with them, as a quid pro quo, before giving them movies casting roles in Hollywood. So impassioned, they screamed vengeance and went forth to levy it on their former mentor. They demanded his head on a platter but never said a word about all the good things in life which they benefitted by surrendering their bodies to satisfy Harvey Weinstein's libido. They allowed him to have his way with them in order to to get somewhere in Hollywood, only to later change their mind and claim that he sexually assaulted and raped them. If indeed he actually molested and raped them and these women in fact believed it was rape and sexual molestation at the time it took place, why did they not immediately report him to the authorities. Why did they wait for several years later to bring up the issue. 

They never explained why they got the movie casting roles which they got in Hollywood, after all they were not the only women in Hollywood who possibly auditioned for those roles. If they played a fast one, a quickie with Harvey Weinstein, to get those roles, why was that not a sufficient consideration to have purchased their consent. These women were not minors at the time these dalliances took place, they were fully grown adults and none of them was an imbecile incapable of making an informed consent. So what exactly was the problem again that two adults had a sexual relationship and one of them later changed her mind and alleged sexual assault. They did not refuse, reject, resist, walk away or fought back nor did they report the matter to the police following soon after, but they are being believed that what took place then were without their consent. 

These women definitely were not the only women in Hollywood nor were they the only women Harvey Weinstein ever propositioned in Hollywood. Many other women who were  similarly asked for such a reciprocal favor probably said no, rejected his entreaties and simply walked away with their honor in tact. They sacrificed their prospective movie roles and probable nice career in Hollywood rather than give in to Harvey Weinstein's indecent proposals. Their dignity and self respect were worth more to them than getting movie casting roles in Hollywood and they chose to maintain them rather than sleep their way around with Harvey Weinstein. ICHEOKU says how about these chaste women. But the society would rather listen to the amoral women who slept their way to the top in Hollywood only to later change their minds to allege unwanted sexual assault. 

ICHEOKU says at what time exactly did they realize that they were raped or have been raped? Was it when they were actively seeking those movie casting roles and used sex as a springboard or after becoming rich and/or famous? Why were those women allowed to eat their cakes and have it back. Would those women have risen up in Hollywood if not for Harvey Weinstein and would Harvey Weinstein have given them the casting roles if they did not sleep with him. There were exchanges of favors, movie roles for sex, yet Harvey Weinstein is serving 23 years for having sex with these women while the women are allowed to keep the fame and fortune which accrued to them as a result. Why should the women be allowed to keep their own benefits but Harvey Weinstein is not allowed to also keep his own benefit. 

Is it possible that these women treated it as just sex and that having sex with Harvey Weinstein is a golden ticket in Hollywood. So, they had sex with Harvey Weinstein and they got movie casting roles from Harvey Weinstein. Both parties fully performed their contractual obligation to each other and the matter should have ended there. But no, one party changed their mind, repudiated the agreement, while still keeping the supplied consideration from Harvey Weinstein which induced them to have sex with him. If actually evaluated in the context of a quid pro quod arrangement, Harvey Weinstein should not have been convicted of these dalliances. It was a pure exchange of favors: the women yielded sex and he opened the doors of Hollywood for them. It appears that inducement for sex suddenly became such an egregious crime that a man who did it was severely punished with 23 years imprisonment. 

If these women were not somewhat complicit, convinced that it was a necessary rite of passage in Hollywood, a sacrifice which they must make in order to get somewhere in Hollywood, why did they not walk away. Why did they not reject his overtures, fight back and call the police soon after the sexual encounters took place as any innocent rape victim is expected to normally do. It would have been a different situation eliciting outright condemnation and demand for his head on a platter had these women been duped by Harvey Weinstein by his not performing his own part of the bargain after having his way with them. But each party got their term fully satisfied, only for one party to be allowed to change their mind and allege that what took place was not their will. 

Anyway, the jury of his peers have preempted and foreclosed any further arguments in defense of Harvey Weinstein. They have adjudged him guilty as charged and he is now serving a 23 years prison sentence. All ICHEOKU is doing here is merely an after the fact brain banter, not that It will change anything. ICHEOKU is only exploring a different defense theory of a mutual arrangement in which both parties satisfactorily performed their undertaking to each other, which should not have been a criminal act. The mutual exchange of considerations should have destroyed the intent element required for a crime, as Harvey Weinstein's state of mind was that he was getting his own bargained for benefit, sexual gratification, not that he was raping these women. The benefits received by these women should also have vacated their complaint that it was against their will, because they gave sex to him in exchange for getting movie casting roles in Hollywood. 

ICHEOKU says has no problem with choices which adults make, but detests a party to an agreement changing their mind so belatedly to make a complaint that it was against their will while still enjoying the benefits of the bargain. This is double dealing. These women had a choice to say no but were blinded by the allure of fame and fortune which Harvey Weinstein dangled before them. It is akin to reeling in a fish with a bait, should the fisherman be blamed for baiting the fish or the fish for being baited. Had the fish ignored the bait, it would not have been on the dinner plate. But no, it is the fisher man that is being harangued for putting a bait before the fish, begging the question, where is the justice for Harvey Weinstein or does he not deserve justice simply because he insisted that his movie casting roles came with a price, doing him sexual favors. 

For those people who argue that no implied consent should be read into the women's involvement, ICHEOKU says where was their concurrent adverse reaction against what took place. For others who argue that those women had a right to earn a living and did what they had to do, the reason they slept with Harvey Weinstein, ICHEOKU says earning a living is not constricted to only from Hollywood or courtesy of Harvey Weinstein. There are other ways to still earn a living short of sleeping with Harvey Weinstein and there were many other women who Harvey Weinstein propositioned but who turned him down. These women did not starve to death but found a way to maintain their upkeep while still keeping their honor in tact. But the get it at all cost women, who had it both ways, are being treated as if they had no involvement whatsoever in what happened. The pressure of the #MeToo trouble makers weighted heavily against Harvey Weinstein and it led to his conviction. 

At worse, Harvey Weinstein's conduct could have been immoral, reprehensible and odious; but certainly not criminal. People trade sex for favors all the time. Even some women call it the art of using what they have to get what they want. The conferred benefit by Harvey Weinstein should have been enough to input implied consent in these women and removed the conduct from the sphere of criminality. There was a reason they had sex with Harvey Weinstein not that Harvey Weinstein had sex with them against their will. People enter into odd bargains all the time and desperate people do desperate things, but should that make an otherwise purely transactional conduct criminal? 

A party to such a bargain who fulfilled his own part of the bargain should not be punished for receiving his own bargained for benefit. The inducement was not so unconscionable as to be so egregious a bargain to make. Those women were adults with full mental capacity and they had the choice to walk away. Also, unlike Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein did not drug any of those women to incapacitate or overwhelm their free will. So, what exactly was the beef here that sent a man away for 23 long years. 

Baring a successful appeal, the fate of Harvey Weinstein has been sealed. He is now a convicted sex offender serving a 23 years prison term. His conviction will put a further chill in many relationships between men and women in continuation of the battle of the sexes. Many men would be more circumspect in dealing with women and might become even reluctant in hiring women in order to avoid too much exposure to the wrath of the #MeToo women firing squad. 

The question should have been whether Harvey Weinstein had the right to negotiate getting sexual favors from these women with granting them access into Hollywood. He was found guilty of having sex with adults who later changed their minds and alleged rape. They succeeded in putting Harvey Weinstein away in prison, a convicted sexual pervert and he will be there for 23 long years unless he is freed on appeal. A man was convicted on the testimonies of some women who were so motivated by their vaulting ambition to make it big in Hollywood that they succumbed to fleshy temptations. They wanted what Harvey Weinstein had and Harvey Weinstein wanted something from them in return, but his own conduct was criminal? 

Harvey Weinstein's downfall is yet another testimony that no matter how powerful, rich  and influential a person might be, allegation of sexual misconduct is usually so weighty that it can easily bring the person down. It can also cause nearly every friend of the accused to abandon him as friends of Harvey Weinstein did, including Hillary Clinton. They were so afraid of the stigma that they stayed away, not attending even one trial proceedings nor had the courage to give character witness testimony in Harvey Weinstein's favor. A simple statement that 'the Harvey Weinstein they know is incapable of hurting women' would have sufficed and enough to have persuaded a different outcome or drastically reduced his sentence. 

But they were all a no show in court as they deserted him in his hour of greatest need for them, thus begging the question, what was the utility of having them as his friends and spending all the money which he spent funding their respective election campaigns. How the once powerful and wealthy Harvey Weinstein fell from grace to disgrace will someday make it into history books. It was with a helluva bang, thanks to the #MeToo loonies from hell. Life is indeed quite tragic.

JOE BIDEN IN A BASEMENT: A DEFINITION OF LEADING FROM BEHIND.

ICHEOKU says it is incomprehensible that a man who wants to lead America is hiding in a basement and you wonder whether leadership has changed its meaning. To lead presupposes being in the front and marshaling the troop or people along. But when the potential leader is no where to be found, what does anyone expects the people to do? How can a man who is running for the presidency of the United States of America not be up and about criss crossing the towns and cities of America, projecting strength, showing mental fortitude and reassuring American people that he will get their backs, if elected. 

If a leader goes into hiding and remains in hiding, what will the people do?  Does Joe Biden think that he is inspiring anyone by remaining held up in his basement with barely 91 days to election. How does he expect the people to have confidence in him that they will be protected under his leadership when he cannot even show them that he can lead by being up in the front. ICHEOKU says nobody can effectively lead a people by exhibiting such weakness, fear and timidity hiding in a basement. If Joe Biden wants to lead American people, he must show that he is not scared or afraid to lead and he must behave like a General. 

But unfortunately, it is dejavu 2016 as American people are watching the male version of Hillary Clinton, threading the same pathway to defeat which Hillary Clinton traveled in 2016. Joe Biden will not take questions, Joe Biden will not grant interviews, Joe Biden will not make public speeches, Joe Biden will not make himself available to the media, Joe Biden will not hold public events or press conferences and Joe Biden is being rather overtly managed, his speeches too scripted and his appearances over choreographed, every inch of it just like they did with Hillary Clinton in 2016. 

It is lamentable that Joe Biden's team did not take the lessons of 2016 to heart and are sheepishly using the same methodology as Hillary Clinton did in 2016. Only the same outcome is guaranteed as Joe Biden will on November 3rd 2020, similarly suffer the same fate as Hillary Clinton did in November 8th 2016. Like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden too will be defeated by President Donald John Trump as the days of American president leading from behind is long over, it ended with Barack Obama.

SOCIAL MEDIA GUARDIANSHIP OF TRUTH: WHOSE TRUTH IS IT ANYWAY?

ICHEOKU says truth is somewhat relative as one man's truth could sometimes be another man's falsehood. It generally depends on the context such as who is telling the truth, where the truth is being told, what the truth is about, when the truth is told and why the subject truth is told or being vetted. For instance, a  statement that the time now is 9:00 o'clock is both true and false, depending on the time zone. 

So, the fact that a person in a particular time zone where it is 9:00 o'clock said that it is 9:00 o'clock does not necessarily translate his peculiar truth to the truth of other people who are outside the time zone. Also a woman who is considered as fat in Hollywood could be considered as very thin in Louisiana or South Carolina where women are expected to have some meat to their bones, but that does not make either opinions exclusively truth or false. It is relative, as what is true somewhere does not necessarily become true elsewhere and this also applies to practically everything in life, not science based. 

When Socrates theorized that the earth was round, to the people of Ancient Greece that was heresy because the truth to them at that particular time was that the earth was flat. The debate of chicken and the egg which came first is still raging because the truth differs depending on which school of thought that is being asked. When a fly is swathed with a broom, the truth as to which particular broom stick actually killed the fly is still arguable since a particular broom stick and not all the brooms killed the fly. Another example is a person making $20,000 a year in the United States of America is considered poor in America, but the same person is considered as very rich in the slums of Delhi. 

When a person in the Bronx says it is raining and a person in Manhattan says it is not raining, whose truth is it that it is raining in New York City? It is such open ended possibilities that encourages debates and shuns herd theory as people should be allowed and encouraged to engage in debates and not follow a streamlined thought process that leads to atrophy. Social media giants are forcing American people into a tunnel visioned belief system without the courtesy of debates and such is dangerous to independent thinking. 

They want everyone to conform to a stipulated version of truth but without explaining to people whose version of truth is that and why that version of truth is superior to others. Their strong arm imposition of their will is dangerous to free and clear thinking and all rational minded people should see it for what it is without regard to partisan politics. They were allowed to establish and operate alongside traditional media, television and newspapers, but they will not allow different opinions to freely air on their platforms. It is a shocking abuse of power for these social media giants to continuously engage in this censorship and nobody made them guardians of truth and truth is not a one cap fits all entity. 

For example, when President Donald John Trump tweets that mail in ballots leads to fraudulent voting and Jack Dorsey's Twitter challenges him on the truthfulness of it by deleting the tweet, it becomes whose position is the truth? It depends on whose truth we are talking about. The president was telling a truth within his knowledge because there were many reported cases of voter fraud by mail which backed his position. But does this  mean that Jack Dorsey's Twitter lied when they challenged the veracity of what the president said as being untrue, that there is no fraud in mail in votes? 

Not really, because they do not have necessary information on voter fraud by mail in ballots which is available to the president and others who share in the president's position. Again, affirming that truth is relative and that Jack Dorsey was wrong to dismiss the president's tweet as false and unverifiable, especially when instances abound where some people have been caught and prosecuted for tampering with mail in ballots. 

ICHEOKU used to think on the absolutism of something is "either"/"or" until read the story of the six blind men of Hindustan who went to see the elephant. As always, blind people "see" things by touching and feeling them, so one of the men felt the elephant's ear and said the elephant is like a big fan. Another one touched the elephant's leg and said the elephant is like a tree; one of them touched the elephant's trunk and said the elephant is like a big snake; another touched the elephant's stomach and said the elephant is like a wall, another touched the elephant's tusk and said the elephant is like a big spear and the last one touched the elephants tail said the elephant is like a huge rope. 

They all spoke their peculiar truths relative to their personal experience but that did not make any of them right or truthful as to the nature of the elephant and they did not lie either. But were it in today's social media world none of the men would have been allowed to even hold or share their respective opinions on their perception. This is wrong and this is what the social media giants are forcing on American people, the lack of independent thinking and it is not right. When you kill a person's free thinking, you deprive the person the capacity of his humanity and make him into an unthinking zombie, a deadman walking. It destroys the humanity in him and it is not good for the American society or any other society for that matter. 

If Mark Zuckerberg, Pichal Sundararajan and Jack Dorsey were not allowed to think outside the box on human interaction and dissemination of information activities and forced to believe that it is only through television and newspapers that people get their information, Facebook, Google and Twitter would not have been in existence now. It is what led to their companies and which sustains it that they want to deprive others by forcing only one viewpoint on the people. It is not right as it leads to stagnation of thought and turns a society inwards. 

Truth can sometimes be as to some part of a story, in which case it needs to be additionally qualified. But the failure to accordingly qualify it does not make the story untrue or false. We should recall that the president did not say that all mail in ballots are fraudulent; he said some of them are fraudulent. To that extent his allusion that mail in ballots leads to fraud is both correct and truthful, because evidence of such fraudulent mail in ballots exist. 

But Jack Dorsey would rather accept a CNN and Washington Post fact checking of the president as true, disregarding the fact that the same CNN fed the nation the Russian Collusion cockamamie for nearly three years; castigated the president for saying that his campaign was spied on, declared that General Michael Flynn was guilty as sin, said that the Covington High School Nicholas Sandmann mocked the old native Indian fella and proclaimed that Bob Muller had the goose on the president. All of which later turned out to be false, yet Twitter never denounced CNN for any of these false stories and wants American people to rely on the CNN's fact check of the president's tweet. Really? 

So, how credible is CNN that their own version of truth should now surmount the president's own version of truth. But Twitter wants us to believe that CNN is their truth whisperer and that the president lies. It is what Twitter will not dare do to the leaders of Iran, North Korea, Russia and China that they gleefully do to the president of the United States of America simply because they have the freedom of expression to do so. 

Ironically it is the same freedom of expression which these social media giants enjoy and which enables them to endlessly criticize the president that they are depriving contrarians, whose viewpoints and opinions are different from their prescribed and acceptable community-conformed opinions. They gleefully ban from their platforms people who refused to be pigeonholed into particular tolerable opinions which the social media said their "community" does not approve and you ask yourself, what is the make up of the community. 

Where then is the freedom to opine freely when opinions must conform to an acceptable community's guideline. If somethings never made any reasonable sense, the control of speech by these Social Media giants definitely is one of them. They said that they are exercising their right to own media platforms and should not be regulated, yet they are regulating membership of their platforms by blocking those who have strong opinions which they consider unacceptable to their community. Whose community is that and who constitute the membership of it anyway? 

How can they expect somebody in rural Hutchinson Kansas to have or share the same opinion on things with somebody in ultra liberal San Francisco California, yet they insist you either comply with their "community" standards or be blocked from their platforms and sometimes even banned because your views in Kansas are not acceptable to their California "community" standard. It is unbelievably unimaginable that these social media giants are engaged in such lopsided requirement of conformity and without regard to the different peculiar experiences of the two places. 

If it was in China that Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg or Pichal Sundararajan did what they are doing to President Donald John Trump, they would have since been sent to a reeducation camp to have their thinking rebooted. If it was in Russia, may be they will be place on a forced time out inside one of the gulags in Siberia for an extended vacation. If it was in North Korea, Kim Jong Un's ever starving pack of wild dogs would have had a festival of some flesh meat. if it were in Iran, treason would have been a reason to break their necks with nooses inside a prison. 

But luckily for them and thankful to an American society which guarantees everyone the right to speak freely, a right which they are denying some American people, these people have the temerity to go after the president and the presidents supporters by restricting their opinions on their social media platforms. ICHEOKU says Facebook, Google and Twitter should be mindful of the fundamental freedom of expression enjoyed in America and should provide their platforms without conditions and not worry about what people choose to share thereon. It is their opinion and they reserve the right to freely express them, including on social media platforms. 

Like with telephone companies which do not regulate what people talk about on their telephones, provided their bills are paid, the Social Media platform owners should either consider charging a use fee for their services or just make it a one cap fits all place where people can freely express their opinion, regardless of the "community" touchy feelings. They should not become arbiters of truth or baby seaters of users, guarding what people say on their platforms, afterall those views are never attributed to them. A matter made more poignant because they cannot be sued for defamation or for views expressed on their platforms by third parties, thus begging the question, why do the censorship. 

The social media giants are not the police or security agencies to worry about what people post on their platforms that might amount to a criminal behavior. They should let the respective agencies worry about them and arrest the offenders when they cross the line. They should therefore get out of the way and let freedom of expression ring loud and reign supreme on their platforms. They should allow users who feel incensed or contradicted by anyone's post to challenge the expressed thoughts with their own counter argument, but not play their savior by canceling them. It is not right and it is not fair to spirited debates. Enough of the censorship.

OBAMA SEEKING REVENGE AGAINST TRUMP: BUT HE WILL BE HUMILIATED AGAIN.

ICHEOKU says it does not take an advanced degree in psychology to know that former President Barack Hussein Obama is driven, in his current effort to get Joe Biden elected, by his desire to get even with Trump and avenge the humiliating defeat of his Hillary Clinton in 2016. It was a personal affront to his boastful assurances that Donald John Trump can NEVER be elected president under his watch. It was a thumb on the nose, a smackdown and the former president has not recovered from his bruised ego. It still haunts and hurts him till today that President Donald John Trump smacked him that so hard with his election victory in 2016 and then went on to rubbish whatever legacy he wanted Hillary Clinton to maintain. 

For a man who does not take being slighted very well, he is still very sad, angry and dejected that Donald John Trump is in the White House against all odds and he cannot wait to get him out. The reason he has been talking smack about the president for a long time now and used an otherwise solemn occasion of a funeral to go after the president with allegations, accusations and innuendos. He turned an otherwise sombre funeral meant to celebrate the life of the departed Congressman John Lewis into a political stump speech. It shows great desperation and the urgency of his now such that he abandoned every decorum expected in such a solemn occasion and used it for a highly charged inflammatory political speech. 

It is sad and it is regrettable that the former president, in his rage against President Donald John Trump, descended into such a political sewer instead of concentrating on the man for whose funeral he came to Georgia to eulogize. He disrespected John Lewis, the man of the hour for whose funeral he was there to give an eulogy as he took away attention from the deceased and placed it on his anger against the president. The occasion was supposed to be about John Lewis, the man, his life and his politics; and not about election, voting, racists or the president, period. 

It is unfortunate that nearly four years after that Barack Obama still cannot understand how a man who he once dismissed as only able to be president on a television show but never in the White House, managed to pull the rug from under him and became president and moved into the White House. Barack Obama as a sitting president in 2016, with all the powers of the office and other ancillary powers geared towards the same outcome, was unable to stop Trump's election. But he now wishfully believes that he can achieve from outside what he could not accomplish from the inside. 

ICHEOKU says a man so full of it and who sees himself as a president's maker despite absence of any record of such prowess anywhere. ICHEOKU says anybody giving Barack Obama's effort at electing Joe Biden any weight should remember why President Donald John Trump is in the White House today. His election was a statement of rejection of the Obama/Biden duo and American people do not usually go back to their vomit. 

The memory of the lackluster Obama/Biden administration is still too fresh in the mind of American people that none of them wants to relive it again. ICHEOKU says instead of Barack Obama being a helpful surrogate to the Joe Biden's campaign, he will hurt the campaign because he will be reminding American people why they voted Obama/Biden out in 2016, albeit technically, since a Hillary Clinton's government would have translated to a Barack Obama and Joe Biden's third term in office. 

A Joe Biden's government will not be any different but more of the same, so why should American people bother reinstating the rejected Obama/Biden administration. It was not a funny experience as America lost its preeminent place in the world and started leading from behind, bowing to dictators, apologizing for everything, made America despondent with hopelessness and telling American people that their best days are behind them. 

Life is a forward ever movement and there will be no going back to the Obama/Biden era which is already junked in history. November 3rd 2020 will be a repeat of November 8th 2016 and Barack Obama will be beaten again by Donald John Trump for the second time.  Unlike in once beaten twice shy, Barack Obama will be twice beaten and four times shied; and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. Barack Obama will be totally humiliated and his ego rubbished beyond polish when Joe Biden will lose woefully, if not by worst margin as Hillary Clinton did in 2016. Barack Obama knows fully well that Joe Biden is a damaged product but he is blinded by his hatred of the president to soldier on in supporting Joe Biden, a man who he once advised not to run for the presidency, with his now infamous quote, "Joe, don't do it Joe." 

In fact it does not seem that the Democratic Party means well for America, they do not love America and seems to only want to wrestle power back just for the sake of being in power. They have no real love the American people, otherwise why did they field such an old and tired man as their presidential candidate when they had many much healthier and more viable candidates they could have chosen from in their presidential primaries. Why present a caricature Joe Biden as the best they have, except that they are using him to  bait some American voters. They were so many very astute candidates in their primaries from which they could have chosen a candidate, but they forced every one of them out in order to make way for their establishment candidate Joe Biden, despite the fact that he was not the brightest bulb in the presidential primaries chandelier. 

It was exactly the same road the Democrats traveled in 2016 with Hillary Clinton that they have embarked their present 2020 journey with Joe Biden. The result will not be any different as doing the same time repeatedly and expecting a different outcome is insanity defined. ICHEOKU says the Democrats cannot secure victory in 2020 using the same failed strategic paradigm of 2016. Like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden is too old, sickly and has no message that resonates with American people to make them desire him so much to go to the mat for him. 

Like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden was not the most popular candidate in the primaries and like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden is the establishment choice not the majority of the voters' choice. Like Hillary Clinton who Barack Obama tried unsuccessfully to pull across the finish line, Joe Biden will also be difficult to put in the White House by Barack Obama. And lastly, like Hillary Clinton who was defeated by then candidate Donald John Trump, Joe Biden will also be defeated by now President Donald John Trump. 

Barack Obama is angry and petty and he is acting like a petulant spoilt brat whose toy was taken away and wants it back. He thought that the White House was his to decide who moves in after he moved out. He was so arrogant to threaten that Donald John Trump will never be elected president under his watch. He goaded the president into running for the presidency through many boastful banters. He spied on then candidate Donald John Trump in a bid to uncover some dirt and use it against him to ensure that he did not win the 2016 election but was trumped. It is probable that he is once again spying on the president once again in this 2020 election, using whatever tool that may still be available to him. His biggest problem is his ego and he is desperately trying to redeem it by defeating the president as a get even pay back. 

But he will not succeed and he was rubbished in 2016 so shall he again be humiliated this November 3rd, 2020. As he rudely found out in 2016 that he did not have much influence or say in who gets to move into the White House, so shall the 2020 election be determined by the American people, his hyperventilating against the president notwithstanding. He once ascribed to himself the power to determine who will be elected president in order to preserve his legacy, but found out the hard way that certain things are beyond any one person's control. 

Now with less than 100 days to the election, his eyes are hot red as he seeks to take his pound of flesh by defeating the man who defeated his legacy. But American people will not allow Barack Obama to have his way because they know that he is just in it for his personal ego tripping, nothing more. The good news however is that a second defeat awaits him on November 3rd and from which he may never recover because it will be humiliatingly very crestfallen. 

KAMALA HARRIS IS NOT THE ONE: DOUBTFUL OF HER ODDS.

ICHEOKU says is staking everything that Kamala Harris is not the one and will not be Joe Biden's vice presidential pick. She brings nothing to the ticket, not star power and not mega fund raising. She is from California and California is already Joe Biden's. She is black but not loved in the black community because she is not down with the struggle. She also locked up many marijuana users, majority of who are blacks, during her time as Attorney General of California. She cannot bring in the dough as she is a poor fund raiser without any deep rooted tentacles to Hollywood and Silicon Valley high rollers. 

She is a terrifying, mean spirited, crazed out, wild eyed feminist extraordinaire and she has no children and therefore does not know what it is to be a mother. She does not go to church, she has low moral values and she publicly dated a married man Willie Brown of San Francisco. Above all, she scared American people stiff as a mean girl with her ungracious attack of Judge Brett Kavanaugh during his Senate Supreme Court confirmation hearing. American people will not put up with her and will not accept her likewise the Hillary Clinton's wing of liberal white women of the Democratic Party. 

Therefore, her choice is dead on arrival, the reason Joe Biden had to postpone his announcement of a vice presidential pick earlier scheduled for the first week of August to a later date due to the amassed opposition against her. The trial kite he flew about her selection raised a lot of resentments and a cautious Joe Biden had to defer everything. ICHEOKU says it will not be Kamala Harris as Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama stand a better chance of being chosen and are possibly the three finalists from which one will eventually emerge. But whatever happens and no matter who Joe Biden chooses, he will be defeated by President Donald John Trump on November 3rd, so he might as well just pick anybody.

UNYIELDING CORONAVIRUS USA: WHY EXACTLY IS IT THE PRESIDENT'S FAULT?

ICHEOKU says the story being told by the fake news media is that it is the fault of the president that the Chinese Wuhan coronavirus disease is spreading and not contained. But so far, nobody has said exactly what it is that the president did or failed to do that elicited the spreading of the virus or what made it his fault. The president is not Xi Jinping nor a member of the Chinese Communist Party that allowed the Wuhan coronavirus disease to escape from China and to establish roots in America. The president is also neither a scientist nor a medical researcher that he should be tasked with personally resolving the coronavirus problem. 

On his part, there was nothing Dr Anthony prescribed or demanded of the president to do in the fight against the coronavirus which the president refused, rejected or failed to do. So, why is the president still being hounded over the lingering coronavirus but the man advising him is being celebrated as the best thing to ever happened to fighting infectious diseases in America. The president has given everything requested and signed off on everything required of him by the Presidential Taskforce on Coronavirus, the State governors as well as City Mayors in the fight against the coronavirus. But despite all that the president has done to tackle the coronavirus disease, the nut jobs are still attacking him as responsible for the continuing spread of the coronavirus. 

These munchkins are pretending that Joe Biden has a secret magic wand which he will wave, if elected, to miraculously swath away the coronavirus disease. But the fact of the matter is that nobody, including Joe Biden, has a silver bullet with which to evaporate the coronavirus; a matter made worse because Joe Biden is no longer all together, both physically and mentally, and cannot dutifully lead the effort against the coronavirus. On November 3rd, American people should stay the course and reelect the president to continue the fight against the coronavirus. It is a war which he is mastering with every day that passes by and it will be a great disservice to start the war afresh. No smart people change their leader in the middle of a war and American people regard themselves as smart. 

Also, there is an increasingly threatening China to contend with and only President Donald John Trump is well disposed and has the guts to do what it will necessarily require to checkmate China. American people must not toy with their freedom as Black Lives Matter wants it all and with the support of ANTIFA will walk all over white people if Joe Biden is ever elected. They have burnt structures, looted and vandalized America. They destroyed statues, properties, churches and desecrated Holy places. They have beaten up many white people, even at airports and shopping malls. Some people have also been killed as a result of their activities. To them every white person is a fair game as their problem is not necessarily the type of politics which the white person plays, but the fact that the color of their skin is white and therefore oppressive. 

No sane person wants such a deterioration of civilization in America. Nobody wants what chased Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar away from Somalia to be reenacted here in America. Nobody wants the police to be disbanded and make way for lawlessness. Joe Biden is beholden to these radicals and Joe Biden has not condemned the violence nor renounced the support of these anarchists for his campaign. These anarchists are bent on doing America harm. Joe Biden has no energy nor the backbone to say no to them and they will have their way in his government. Only President Donald John Trump can checkmate these threatening problems. So, on November 3rd, vote like you still love and care for America; vote to support law and order, vote to reelect President Donald John Trump for a second term because he loves America dearly and he has done enough in his first term to earn an encore. #4MoreYears.

DELAYED ELECTION: NOT AN OPTION NOR A GOOD REELECTION CAMPAIGN SPEAK.

ICHEOKU says it was one of those statements many of his supporters wished the president never made. It is regrettable that the president is casting doubt on an election which is yet to take place, thereby soiling his likely reelection victory. It is not right for the president to say that the November 3rd election will be the most "inaccurate and fraudulent" election in the history of America's elections. Such a statement has the potential to color the outcome of the election and when the president eventually wins, many people will ascribe his victory to an inaccurate and fraudulent election. 

ICHEOKU says the statement was otherwise avoidable and should have been left not made as it depicts the president of being afraid of the November 3rd election outcome. But playing the devil's advocate, assuming that the election can even be delayed, for how long exactly does the president want it delayed? A matter which needs immediate  clarification because the lockdown is now entering its sixth month without a definitive end in sight. If it is as long as it takes to find a cure for the coronavirus, will the president be comfortable having Nancy Pelosi sworn in by January as an acting president and for how long will her own presidency last. It is even possible that the president does not know that his term is fixed under the constitution and that he cannot under any circumstance or guise elongate it beyond the due date in January. 

Once again, the president was unguarded in his utterance and have now given additional ammo to his detractors with which to continue firing at him. ICHEOKU sometimes wishes the president could be more disciplined and in some cases, seek wise political consul before making some of his tweets and statements. Delaying an election which is inviolably cast in a constitutional stone is certainly a regrettable statement as it once again showed the president in a light not friendly to an otherwise well informed person. It showed the president as unaware of certain unassailable constitutional provisions which are beyond his presidential powers. The enormity of what he said rises to the same level of ignorance as his "ingesting disinfectant" comment, as the president should or ought to have known that a presidential election cannot be delayed. If only he had sought counsel, he would have known that delaying election is not tenable, just like disinfectants are not administered into the body. 

For a president who has achieved so much during his first term and has a lot of accomplishments to campaign on, it is simply inexplicable why he regularly still veers off tangent on honed-in political speak after nearly four years in office. The president so frequently wanders off into the wilderness of both the unknown and the incredulous in politics and you wonder why? Does the president not have political advisers or he chooses not to listen to them, otherwise a tweet whisperer should have been hired by now to vet what the president tweets. All the president needs in this campaign is to stay on the message of rehashing all that he has accomplished and promise to do more in his second term and it will be a case closed against Joe Biden. But that the president continuously pipes life saving oxygen into the basement of Joe Biden to keep him politically alive and soaring is simply beyond belief. Why? 

But hey, the president's middle name is controversy and he does not seem to ever get tired of generating them. The president never allows a period to go to waste without stirring one controversy to the detriment of consolidating his messaging into a one punch lights out strategic stance. Hopefully American people will remember the many good things he have already accomplished for them and forgive his misspeaks and reelect him for a second term. ICHEOKU says optimism of a reelected President Donald John Trump remains unwavering and it shall come to pass because the president has done enough to earn a second term and Joe Biden is just not an option, no matter how diced and analyzed.

IF TRUMP IS A RACIST, WHAT IS JOE BIDEN: THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK?

ICHEOKU says it is laughable to hear Joe Biden call the president a racist. For a man who has been caught several times making racist remarks to say what he said about the president is indeed awfully shocking. If this is not a case of channeling, then nothing else meets that definition.  But he wants American people to forget his filthy record on racism in America and vote him into office as a black loving anti racism crusader. ICHEOKU says really? 

This is a man who has been in Washington DC since 1972 as elected Congressman from Delaware, who never did anything for African Americans to show that he was indeed truly down with the struggle, but is suddenly plastering his love for blackness on his forehead. ICHEOKU says only an unthinking vagabond will fall for the Joe Biden attempt to mislead, misstate and exaggerate his pro blacks credentials. A man who as recently as 2008, found Barack Obama as the "ONLY" articulate and clean black man ever to have lived, begging the question what did Joe Biden think about Martin Luther King Jr, John Lewis, Ron Brown, Jesse Jackson and such other notable black public figures that preceded Barack Obama. 

If such a statement is not racist, then what else qualifies as racist. A man who wanted to  frustrate the effort at integration of Americans because according to his warped logic, such exercise will turn America into a racial jungle in which he would not want to raise his children and children's children. Racial jungle and Seregenti National Wildlife Park comes to mind where bigger and stronger animals prey on smaller and weaker animals in their animalistic nature of survival of the fittest. Yet, Joe Biden is calling President Donald John Trump a racist and you wonder where that came from or was it a case of someone pointing the index finger at another person while the rest of the fingers are pointing back at that person. 

Even if the president is a racist as nearly everyone else is, Joe Biden is in fact more racist than the president. Joe Biden never employed nor had a legislative staffer or aide who was black;  unlike the president who employed several black people including one that rose to become a vice president in his Trump Organization. The president also mingled with so many black friends including Don King, Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson and Kanye West. But does Joe Biden has any black friend outside Congressman from North Carolina Jim Clyburn? 

The same Joe Biden authored and helped to midwife the 1994 Crime Bill of President Bill Clinton which decimated black American families by separating fathers from their families through mass incarceration. It also disproportionately punished drug possession of black Americans of crack cocaine with stiffer penalty than white possession of real cocaine. This is the same person now raising the issue of racism and accusing the president of being a racist. ICHEOKU says if the president is a racist as Joe Biden accused him of, he will be the ship while Joe Biden will be the mothership of racism. 

Joe Biden identified with and celebrated the life of known KKK man, late Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, glorifying him as an honorable man and a true friend who he greatly admired. Who again was parleying around with known racist but Joe Biden, giving credence to the saying that birds of the same plumage flock together. The same Joe Biden proudly identified himself as from slaves owning Delaware State, stating that his heritage  will give him vital credentials needed in the Deep South to qualify him a bona fide good ole white boy in his run for president. Indeed, Joe Biden is very proud of his racist history and has severally spoken so and since records do not lie, will allow Joe Biden's past to speak about Joe Biden's future. A man who said "they will put you all back in chains" and that if any black person does not vote for him that he will take their blackness away and render them non black person. 

Yet this is the man some black people are rooting for and clamoring for his presidency, when he has never shown to be sympathetic to black causes and never fully identified with black struggle throughout the nearly 50 years he has been in Washington DC. But now that he is running for president for the third time, he wants gullible black folks to believe that he is one of them and that he will get their back when he never did in his younger more vibrant years when he could have significantly improved their lot in America. 

ICHEOKU says always feels violated any time Joe Biden speaks as to wish that his past never happened or that it will magically go away without consequence; or watch some black people calling the president a racist while giving a warm embrace and pass to Joe Biden. A president who has done more for black people in four years than Joe Biden ever contemplated in 50 years. ICHEOKU says which black person is being fooled here and made the butt of Joe Biden's joke; probably some unthinking black people who have fallen for the malarkey of Joe Biden. 

ICHEOKU is not here to defend racism of anyone, but says that Joe Biden has more racial animus than the president and therefore has no standing to accuse the president of racism. A pharisaic stance of "do as I say but not as I do" is abhorrent, especially for someone running for president who is calling his opponent a racist. It is not fair, it is pathetic and it is pitiful to accuse the president of racism without any hard factual evidence. Possibly, Joe Biden was being that audacious, convinced that black people are somewhat too imbecilic that he can easily pull a wool over their eyes and convince them that what was, never was; and that the Joe Biden they are seeing now was not the same Joe Biden they have always known. 

ICHEOKU says would not have bothered with the accusation, but to allow such a malicious diatribe to go unchallenged will be injurious to fairness. A matter made worse because it came from a Joe Biden whose mind is completely wasted and who can no longer make any informed assessment of situations and who now parrots only what is put in front of him. So was it a misspeak that he called the president a racist or that he was he a victim of an already prepared text which his handlers put before him and made him to toot. 

ICHEOKU says this is the same Joe Biden who was forced to suspend his 1988 presidential campaign because of several scandals including plagiarism who is now running for president in 2020 and you ask yourself when were those scandals forgiven that he became sanctified to run for the office once again and for the third time. It is shocking and it is absolutely jaw dropping the length which Joe Biden would go to make himself acceptable and electable. But on November 3rd, Joe Biden will realize that his sins stuck with him like a scarlet letter and that what made him unelectable in the two previous times which he ran for president were not wished or washed away. What a man and he has anger issues as well. Sad.

RUTH: NOT GIVING IT UP, AT LEAST NOT YET.

ICHEOKU says she is one tough lady just trying to make it through to November 4th when she must face the inevitable reality that everything always comes to an end. She has fought a good fight for her women folks, holding forte and never yielding her seat at the Supreme Court, but eventually her fan will understand as Ruth has given it her all. 

On the day after the November 3rd election, Ruth will realize that she cannot push her body beyond its capacity and will either give up her seat for a reelected President Donald John Trump to fill her position or for an elected President Joe Biden to go forth and choose her replacement. Either way, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will vacate her seat at the Supreme Court following the election, provided she does not succumb before then. The Justice is simply too old and sickly to remain effective. Be that as it may, ICHEOKU wishes her well as she recovers from her latest hospitalization. Get well Ruth.

DR ANTHONY FAUCI SHOULD TAKE A BOW.

ICHEOKU says it is only in America that a 80 year man is still making health and medical decisions for the the people of the country. At such a very advanced old age when his contemporaries are already in nursing care facilities and senior citizens centers to live out the remainder of their years on earth, Dr Anthony Fauci is allowed to still be on duty, not retired and still making such vital health decisions about American people's wellness.   Many people his age are already afflicted with dementia, Alzheimers disease, forgetfulness, amnesia, delayed memory recall and all manners of other diseases both of the body and mind; but this is the fella still calling the shots in the fight against the Chinese Wuhan coronavirus pandemic disease. 

Anybody still wondering or trying to figure out why the effort has so far not yielded the desired  result should ask themselves what is the status of their own aged relatives at 80 years old assuming they are still alive. But it is Dr Anthony Fauci and therefore age related infirmities do not apply to him, particularly to his brain. That he pitched the ball several feet away from the catcher is another evidence of his vision and physical impairment. But to continue to allow him to remain in office and make important health decisions for America is a complete aberration and a definite disregard to the natural order of things and an affront on biological sciences. #RetireDrFauciNow
