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.

BIDEN/HARRIS 2020: WHEN WILL THEY START TAKING QUESTIONS?

ICHEOKU says unfortunately the Democratic Party seem not to have learned a lesson from their 2016 outing when they shielded Hillary Clinton from the public and made her unavailable to the media. As a result, American people did not get the opportunity of knowing her stand on the many issues facing them and they rewarded her with a rejection. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are apparently headed in the same direction and their own result will not be any different come November 3rd, 2020 as repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome is insanity defined. 

ICHEOKU says if the duo think that they can just charm and smile their way to the White House, devoid of offering solutions to the many problems facing America, then they have another thing coming, an assured failed presidential run. Joe Biden has not been taking questions ever since he secured the presidential nomination and now that Kamala Harris has been chosen as his vice presidential candidate, it seems that she too have joined him in ignoring the media. It is unattainable and it is very fatal in presidential politics for ticket holders to expect American people to just hand them over the keys to the White House without knowing what the candidates intend to do when they get in there. 

Even their discernible attempt to make the November 3rd election a one issue coronavirus campaign will not fly because coronavirus is just one of many issues facing American people and for which urgent solutions are needed. If they want American people to replace the president, then they must convince them on the imperativeness and why Joe Biden is a better alternative. This demands powerful arguments and answers as to why; it cannot be just only because Joe Biden is not President Donald John Trump or that some media pundits do not like the president. There has to be more convincing reasons why the president should not be reelected and they have to adduce them publicly through  media engagements and answering questions. But so far, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not so directed and you wonder why and if they will, when? 

ICHEOKU says the earlier the Democratic Party changes gear and make their presidential and vice presidential tickets holders available to the American public and allow journalists to dig out some answers to so many questions from them, the better their odds on November 3rd will be. But if they remain on the no taking of questions mindset, it will hurt their chances badly on Election Day as American people will not have been convinced on the need to replace the president A much more goal directed ticket would have been doing as many media events as they could muster and answering questions from wherever they might come and making their case to the American people on why they are a better alternative to the present ticket in the White House. But no, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have no issues to run on and they believe that American people so much dislike the president that they will usher them into the White House without more. 

Displacing an incumbent from office is not generally an easy task to pull off. It requires concerted effort because the people will want to know why they should take a risk with the newly offered instead of tagging along with what they already know and have. Whether what they will be getting is far much better than what they already have because most people do not normally change horses midstream, especially in time of great tribulation in the country. There is the coronavirus pandemic being managed, there is the economy in coma that needs to be resuscitated and of course there is the insurgent China that needs to be contained. The president is doing great tackling all the three major problems, so why should American people now take a chance with a tired and burnt out Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris, who has been severally described as a transactional, slick and slippery character, to do a better job than the president without first convincing them. 

Hopefully, Kamala Harris will find time to tell American people why she accepted the Joe Biden's offer to be on his ticket after believing the women who accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting them and calling Joe Biden a racist. Kamala Harris answering this two questions will indeed help American people to correctly ascertain her character, core and conviction and determine if indeed she truly believed those things then or she was merely pandering to political expedience; and why those her beliefs no long hold up now and whether she is comfortable being on the same ticket with the same sexual assaulter and racist. 

As for Joe Biden, he needs to tell American people why he has refused to take mental cognitive test and also explain to American people why he thinks he would do a better job than the president, especially after sharing the presidency of Barack Obama for eight long years; and why he believes that American people now trusts him to do the same job which he and Obama could not satisfactorily do between 2008 and 2016. But all these issues cannot be resolved unless Joe Biden and Kamala Harris start answering the questions about them. ICHEOKU says Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, please top insulting American people's intelligence by thinking that they have no thinking brains and will just vote for you just like that. Stop avoiding questions and start holding media events now, otherwise forget November 3rd as an already lost cause.

KAMALA HARRIS, INTRODUCED!

ICHEOKU says congratulations to Kamala Harris for her selection and may the battle for the hearts and souls of American people now begin towards the November 3rd, 2020 election. 

Wednesday, August 12, 2020

KAMALA HARRIS: A POLITICAL CORRECTNESS PICK, WRONG CHOICE.

ICHEOKU says Joe Biden did not choose her out of his own freewill. She was a circumstances-imposed choice on him by reason of the current racial tension in the country coupled to Joe Biden's many past derogatory speaks against black people which he wants to atone for. In short her choice is a child of political necessity and convenience, as opposed to being the most qualified person who will adequately  compliment Joe Biden and help the ticket win the election. 

Kamala Harris brings nothing specially unique to the ticket and should not have been the choice, admitted she was not actually the intended choice but just a candidate of political horse trading. Who will vote for Joe Biden because of Kamala Harris except  those who would have voted Joe Biden without Kamala Harris. Which political bloc or group will now change their minds and vote for Joe Biden because of Kamala Harris except those who would have voted for Joe Biden regardless. But will anybody who was planning to vote for President Donald John Trump now say because Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris that they will now switch their votes for Joe Biden? ICHEOKU says does not think so and there is the value less implication of her selection. 

But now that Joe Biden has finally made his no choice, choice, by not following his  instinct and conviction and gone with his initially preferred candidate, he has sealed his election coffin. He will once again be unelectable for the third time as President Donald John Trump will defeat him on November 3rd. Instead of choosing someone with many positives to help the ticket win, he accepted the imposed Kamala Harris's choice with  so many negatives who will make Joe Biden more unacceptable to many white people who cannot stand another black president in the White House so soon after the disaster that was Barack Obama's inept presidency. As everyone knows, Joe Biden will most likely not serve out his term because of incapacity, if elected; thus putting Kamala Harris milliseconds away from assuming full presidency. 

Kamala Harris is an angry mean gal, a San Francisco feminist liberal, who wants to remake America into a far left progressivism ideology where everything will be freely redistributed to everyone without regard to their immigration status. She was on record advocating for free education, free medical care and free housing for everyone including giving black people $100 billion to help them buy homes. As Attorney General of California, she locked up a lot of poor black people for smoking marijuana despite having similarly smoked marijuana herself and possibly still smoking it, if her dopey eyes are any window into her habits. How will she answer to those Californias now that the weed has become legal in California and expect them to forgive her or make them excited to vote for a ticket which she is in. 

Her crazy display of hostility against Judge Brett Kavanaugh during his Senate confirmation hearing is another clear evidence of the darkness of her heart and such a hurtful person is undeserving of the honor which Joe Biden was forced to bequeath on her. She was needlessly so adversarial and so antagonistic of Brett Kavanaugh just to prove to her lunatic, wild eyed, crazed out feminists liberal base that she could be as mean and nasty as they want her to be. But rational and reasonable American people do not like such vindictive and vicious individuals running their affairs and they will reject her and Joe Biden on November 3rd, 2020. 

ICHEOKU says is Kamala Harris even black enough to qualify as a black woman? Is she really a black person since she doesn't even identify herself as black. Like Tiger Woods, she would rather be called an Asian woman than a black woman and you wonder whether real black Americans will once again accept another none black "foreign black" person to represent them in the White House. Kamala Harris does not have the necessary bona fides of a black person: she is not down with the struggle, she was a child of two foreign parents, a Jamaican and an Indian and not a descendant of slaves. 

This may possibly explain why she is not liked much within black American community. She may turn out to be another Barack Obama who failed to address many black Americans problem because he did not understand them nor shared in their experience having been raised by a white family and therefore clueless. ICHEOKU says but why can't white Americans ever accept a real black person in the White House or are they afraid of possible retribution. 

Kamala Harris is also not a good fund raiser and showed during the Democratic Party's presidential campaign when she ran out of money which forced her to quit the campaign with only 2% approval rating. She does not have the star power to make Hollywood stars want to open their wallets, bring out their check books or give their credit card numbers, especially in the amount necessary to wage a campaign that will prove to be very expensive in advertising dollars. Although she fulfilled the requirement of a person with cervix, she is not a mother, never raised children and so cannot truly relate to mothers and in a way to bring them over to voting for Joe Biden. Issues which concern mothers will be an alien topic for her to discuss comfortably and convincingly with women and such is important in wooing them for their votes. 

She really brings nothing to the ticket, not a new State, not star power and not mega fund raising ability. She is from California and California is already safely tucked in Joe Biden's column and she cannot win over any other State for the ticket. She is a terrifying, mean spirited, crazed out, wild eyed feminist liberal who does not go to church and believes that America should become a Godless nation. She has low moral values and no respect for the married institution as she once publicly dated a married man, Willie Brown of San Francisco, to the chagrin of his wife and wanted him to divorce her so that she could marry him but he refused. 

She did not give a damn nor a care in the world about the hurt which her adulterous relationship caused to the heartbroken woman, wife, mother and her children. She had no scruples being a side chic either and she milked the affair maximally to become San Francisco's District Attorney, Attorney General of California and later, a replacement for retired Senator Barbara Boxer from California. 

Aside of her "I am that school girl" moment in the sun during her first debate in the presidential primaries, nothing else stood out of her from the failed presidential primaries run. It was bland and nothing memorable. Instead of maintaining the heat and going hard on Joe Biden in the second debate, she went soft with her coy "Hi Joe" cute girl greeting with a neck tilting body language and you wonder how a person could go from hot to cold so quickly. She came across as an unprincipled fake who was merely putting up a show and American people do not normally take kindly to people without conviction, character or core, or the strong will to take a stand on what they indeed believe in. 

Why did Kamala Harris during the second debate smile and suck up to the same man who she had called a racist during their first debate? Why did Kamala Harris accept a vice presidential offer from the same man she believed sexually assaulted women? The only possible explanation is that either Kamala Harris does not mean what she says or what she says does not mean a thing and are only transactional. Probably, she speaks only the language of expediency necessary to scheme her way through the labyrinth of politics and this is the person Joe Biden was forced to pick for his running game and you wonder how she will be effective president should they win and Joe Biden strikes out. 

Kamala Harris also did herself in by comparing ICE officials to KKK. She has shown her hand and American people, especially white people, do not like what they see in her and will prevent her from getting too near to the presidency. She is simply a too risky  proposition to accept and there is nothing she can do now to repair the damage to her image which she brought unto herself. She is too angry at white people that given the opportunity, will take a pound of their flesh. She just cannot be trusted by white Americans and being so angry against the majority of Americans is not a good winning strategy. Joe Biden blew it big time and November 3rd will affirm that he only did what he was told and what he was told did not help him win the presidency. Except for her smile which is probably no longer there because of her botched facial lift surgery, she was  a wrong choice indeed. Sad.

LIZZY WARREN: SHE IS MOST LIKELY THE CHOICE.

ICHEOKU says she is still ICHEOKU's most favorite candidate to secure the slot. She compliments Joe Biden and does not duplicate him, the requirement 101 for a Vice Presidential candidate. She is a progressive and Joe Biden is conservative. She is domestic policy seasoned while Joe Biden is foreign policy tested. She is vivacious and lively while Joe Biden is somewhat subdued. She is an electrifying campaigner as everyone saw how she evaporated little Mini Micky Bloomberg during the campaign primaries debate. She is a great fund raiser and she belongs to the Hillary Clinton led feminists liberal wing of the Democratic Party. Her skin type also helps as white Americans want to retain their White House, aware that Joe Biden might not serve out his term if elected. She is highly educated and she has been in government for sometime, burnishing further her experience credentials. She will also not hesitate to take it directly to the president as a surrogate of Joe Biden. 

Crazy Pocahontas will bring electricity to the dark room that is Joe Biden and she will help make the election campaign interestingly captivating. Recall that what Joe Biden promised was to choose a woman VeePee candidate, but not of a woman of any particular color and Elizabeth Warren identifies as a biological female. Being a person with a cervix is the only stipulated requirement and Lizzy is a person and she also got one. 

ICHEOKU encourages her selection as Joe Biden's vice presidential pick. She is highly qualified; better than the rest of the other candidates under consideration. She will bring a much higher profile to the ticket than the rest of the other wanna be candidates put together.  She also sacrificed much in not endorsing her fellow progressive Bernie Sanders and by not stepping down for him before the South Carolina primaries which made Joe Biden's winning the primaries much possible. She also has the commanding presence which lacks in both little Sussy and rolling eyes Kam. She will also not hesitate or feel shy to get herself a beer for recharge at any time during the debate when she needs to refreshen up. Joe Biden should therefore courageously choose someone who can help his ticket and not a political correctness candidate who will only sink the ticket. ICHEOKU strongly recommends Senator Elizabeth Warren as Joe Biden's vice presidential choice.

SUSAN RICE: WHAT IS SHE BRINGING TO THE TICKET?

ICHEOKU says everything Susan Rice has, Joe Biden already have. Both of them belong to the conservative wing of the Democratic Party. Both of them parades the same foreign policy expertise. Their gravitas are similar and both of them will attract the same supporters. So what exactly will pairing Susan Rice with Joe Biden bring to the ticket since the primary objective of choosing a VeePee is to add value to a ticket. Just curious!


JOE BIDEN'S CHOICE STIRS A REVOLT: REASON FOR DELAYED ANNOUNCEMENT.

ICHEOKU says whichever way he chooses, it doesn't matter, as Joe Biden will still lose the November 3rd election. President Donald John Trump will be reelected for a second term. A vice presidential candidate pick decision which is increasingly becoming very difficult for Joe Biden to make because of the need to satisfy all the forces competing for the position which are simply too many to completely satisfy and pacify. 

The Democratic Party is a coalition of the willing interests plus more, especially those who prefer it to the Republican Party not necessarily because they are ideologically ad idem, but because they see the party as the nearest best vehicle to maintain a lifestyle or a way of life which they prefer. Then within the main frame Democratic Party, there are the conservatives and the liberals, as well as the progressives who want to push the party to the extreme far left on issues which they care about. Then you have the LGBTQ wing which wants to know why a transgendered woman is not woman enough for the purposes of anchoring the Joe Biden's promised woman vice presidential slot. 

But topping the chart of conflict is the color of the skin of the person as black people are insisting that the woman must be a black woman or no deal. According to their argument, black people are the electoral backbone of the Democratic Party and have contributed so much to the party's successes, including Joe Biden's securing the presidential nomination which was Bernie Sanders for the grab, until black people turned things around for Joe Biden beginning with South Carolina. Their loyalty to the party, they say should no longer be taken for granted and they demand the vice presidential slot as a matter of right. 

So the political gymnastics which Joe Biden is currently maneuvering is an extremely difficult one, as all these disparate groups are righteously staking their claim to the position. This is why the announcement has been further delayed from the earlier scheduled first week of August to whenever it eventually happens. American people are now in the second week of Joe Biden's vice presidential pick watch and you begin to understand the intense pressure which the former Vice President is currently under, to choose a woman who will serve in his former capacity should he win the election, admittedly a near impossible task to pull off. 

ICHEOKU says the opposition against Kamala Harris is so intense that her choice is almost stalled that it will probably not happen. This much was discernible when the announcement which would have been made as promised during the first week of August was postponed, following the kite which was flown about her choice with Kamala Harris written on top of his to do list. But the Hillary Clinton led liberal white feminists wing of the party to which Elizabeth Warren belongs is strongly opposed to Kamala Harris choice. They are arguing the merit of choosing a minority female instead of any female who is rather most qualified for the job. They also contend why such a minority must be black when other minorities exist in the Democratic Party and finally that her choice will turn off white voters who will interpret it as a prelude to another black president in the White House so soon after the apology that was Barack Obama. 

On the other hand, progressives are against choosing Susan Rice because it will leave progressives out in the cold, being a huge voting bloc of the Democratic Party. It is their contention that both Joe Biden and Susan Rice belong to the same conservative wing of the Democratic Party. That selecting her will mean excluding the progressives and that the ticket will not be inclusive enough to entice their members to the polls on November 3rd. Further, that both Joe Biden and Susan Rice's biggest credential is their foreign affairs knowledgeability which will leave both of them bringing the same foreign policy gravitas to the ticket, instead of the diversity of expertise which pairing normally provides. 

Now to complicate matters further for Joe Biden, some group of 100 black people have publicly written to the campaign to demand that a black woman be chosen as Joe Biden's vice presidential candidate or they will not work for the campaign. But whether these people are true representatives of black people and have the ability to influence an outcome or just hustling for contracts in a successful Joe Biden's election is but anyone's guess. Whatever that may be, they are not helping Joe Biden make his decision but have thrown an additional wrench to the whole exercise. 

However, it really does not matter who Joe Biden eventually choses, ether way, he will still lose to President Donald John Trump. Joe Biden is in a kind of quandary now having alienated the entire men population of America by delimiting his choice to only females.  He is now finding out how huge a mistake that is, because as is always the case with women, there is now an additional hurdle of the type of woman. Joe Biden has found himself with a fish bone stuck in his esophagus which will neither go down into the stomach nor allow itself to be vomited. There goes the Joe Biden's third attempt to occupy the White House as his two other previous attempts similarly suffered some glitches from which they were never successfully rebooted. 

Anyway, the Joe Biden's vice presidential pick watch continues and hopefully it will not drag all the way to the August 17th convention. It is so sad how trivialized the Democratic Party is, where everyone thinks they know it all, only to always prove themselves grossly incompetent. They are evident that too many hands indeed do spoil the broth. Each one them wants to run things but not realizing that not everyone is gifted or knowledgeable on how things are run. Just look at what is happening in Chicago, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles and you wonder who actually votes for this breed of politicians. On November 3rd, real American people who love America dearly, real patriots, will vote to stay the course. They will reelect President Donald John Trump for a second term. But until then, the vice presidential pick continues but it will not be Kamala Harris and ICHEOKU still bets on Elizabeth Warren.

C'MON MAN: JOE BIDEN'S TACTICAL DEFLECTION TO TOUGH QUESTIONS.

ICHEOKU says when he is stuck in a dumb zone and has no answer to a question or his diminished thinking faculty fails him, he hides under his now infamous two word phraseology C'mon Man! ICHEOKU says wonders how long American voters will continue to tolerate this no response, response, in response to questions needing answers from Joe Biden. Were he to win the presidency which he will not, is that how he will talking to Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un or Iran's Ayatollah during negotiations or even telephone calls. 

Joe Biden is now acting like a programmed machine which parrots only what it is fed and the constant 'C'mon Man' is giving so many people a cause for concern regarding Joe Biden's mental sufficiency and capacity to be president. Something is definitely not right with him, upstairs and it is most likely signs of infirmities of old age and possibly other related mental health degenerative condition. 

But who will tell Joe Biden to cut it and retire when Jill Biden and other Biden family members are acting in concert with the Democratic Party to use him to get back power then use his presidency to do as it pleases them. Many loving families would not have allowed their loved one, especially their patriarch, to become such a public spectacle and would have since taken him off the display shelve and into shelter, away from such public ridicule. Joe Biden is now like a clown in a County Fair ground and such a caricature is not good for America. His time has since long gone and his hologram is not an option. But hey, c'mon man, its Joe Biden.

JOE BIDEN'S ANGER PROBLEM: A PRESIDENCY DISQUALIFYING PROBLEM.

ICHEOKU says American media has willfully and for the large part ignored and glossed over the many shortcomings of Joe Biden which would have otherwise disqualified him for president, made him unelectable  or at least called attention to his fitness for office. Joe Biden has anger issues and the media knows that it is not a good quality for someone who wants to occupy the White House and be seconds away from the nuclear codes to have. 

Yet they have played dumb about it and dismissively treated it as inconsequential. They harped on it as a disqualifying problem for John McCain when the deceased former Arizona Senator ran for president in 2008 but not now in 2020 when Joe Biden is running for the same office, so, what changed? 

ICHEOKU says what changed the narrative now is that their beloved Joe Biden is involved and with Democrats, things like that are mere ancillary distractions which are better ignored, unlike when a Republican candidate is involved. It is the same way they were questioning President Donald John Trump's mental fitness for office and even supported invoking Article 25 of the Constitution to remove him from office until Joe Biden happened and they saw he has a worse mental disequilibrium than the president. 

Suddenly, mental fitness for office is no longer an issue for them as they pushed it back behind them and filed it away completely. The only explanation being their bias, as they are always vested in a certain outcome and accordingly skew their narrative to achieve their objective, regardless. It is once again happening with Joe Biden's well known anger problem as the media has refused to report on it in addition to his obvious mental degradation. 

A media that is supposed to vet candidates for office and report their findings factually in order to help American people make informed decision on who they vote for any office, especially the presidency, but is not doing their job or rather purposefully shirking away from it due to the person and politics involved. 

Joe Biden is very quick to anger and he has repeatedly publicly showed this and you wonder why is he not being called out for it. American people witnessed a lot of his angry fits during last fall's Democratic Party's presidential primaries campaign when he continuously bared his fangs at journalists who dared ask him tough question. 

Joe Biden also took his anger out on his then fellow presidential candidates aspirants during the debates; a fact which came full circle when he went off on Elizabeth Warren for not acknowledging his input in a certain bill sponsored by her. American people had a glimpse of what the people of the Great State of Delaware were forced to put up with for nearly the fifty years Joe Biden was their representative in Washington DC and it was not a good sight to behold. 

Joe Biden revealed himself as not being the Mr Nice Guy which many people thought him to be or which he rather passed himself off to be before the mask came off, revealing an acerbic, choleric and very eruptive Joe Biden. He was seen several times berating reporters for daring to ask him some questions which he considered off limits, including questions about his corrupt influences and corrupt son Hunter Biden. 

Even as recently as few weeks ago, he erupted on Charlamagne de God's Breakfast Club as well as at a CBS interviewer who he insinuated of indulging himself with cocaine. Many other instances of his choler happened publicly and were captured on video, so it is not for lack of evidence that the media had chosen not to highlight it. Instead they are guilty of complicity and cover up, trying tirelessly to get him into office because of they dislike for the president. 

American people saw his explosive rage of fury when he wagged his finger menacingly at a reporter for asking him a question about his Ukrainian scandal in which he was captured on video boasting how he threatened Ukrainian government of withholding a $1 billion loan guarantee if they did not sack their Prosecutor General. Such question, it appeared, was definitely a no-go area for Joe Biden and you wonder if Joe Biden was innocent, why he should be so angered about being asked to explain what many people believe did not pass the smell test. 

Unfortunately, Joe Biden doesn't want any reporter looking into his past record or trying to extract from him some explanations about certain identifiable incidences of inferable corruption of forcing an independent country to remove their chief law enforcement officer before they can get loan guarantees from the United States of America. 

There was also another incident when a reporter wanted some answers about his son Hunter Biden's BURISMA corruption scandal which Joe Biden did not want to talk about. The reporter merely wanted Joe Biden to explain his involvement or rather what he knew about his crackhead son Hunter Biden's Ukrainian and Chinese shady dealings, but Joe Biden would have none of that and flew off the handle and refused to address the two burning questions which made him look like a Shady Joe. 

He did not want the reporter to ruin his image of an affable incorruptible Joe which many have come to associate him with, until his crackhead son Hunter Biden happened. ICHEOKU says still recalls the "ask another question" retort of Joe Biden at the reporter and you wonder why another question when the first question was not answered. 

There were other incidents of his obvious rage, like when a reporter asked him why he misquoted the president's comment during the Charlottesville incident that "there are good people on both sides."  Instead of answering the question and explaining why he did what he did, misquote the president, Joe Biden again flew off the handle and attacked the reporter. 

ICHEOKU says wonders what type of molten magma is roiling inside Joe Biden that makes him to often blow off his top gasket. During the Democratic Party presidential primaries campaign, Joe Biden was asked to explain why he exaggerated the crowd size at his campaign events after he said that he gets the biggest crowds, compared to Elizabeth Warren. He again reacted angrily at the reporter and refused to back his claim with any supportive data. 

Recall that Joe Biden once threatened to beat up President Donald John Trump, saying that he feels like beating up the president and that if it were during his High School days, he would take the president behind the woodshed and  smack him right there on the mouth. Joe Biden also used the words "punching it and punching it" to describe how to stop domestic violence. Such statements of violence shows a man with an innate passion for fermenting violence and who is naturally prone to causing harm on other people. 

Joe Biden is angry, disturbed and deeply perturbed and it shows whenever his feather is ruffled, speaking of having a very thin skin. How Joe Biden raised his voice and shoot his hand in gesture of rage at Elizabeth during their presidential primary debate in Ohio is another evident of his rage and also an indicator that Joe Biden does not respect women and threats them disdainfully. 

ICHEOKU says does not know if Joe Biden was forced to evolve that way because of the many tragedies which befell his family or he is naturally an angry person. But whichever one it is, being so angry and easily provoked into a rage is not good for anyone seeking the highest elected office in the land. A president is repeatedly provoked and a president who cannot control his anger might act rashly and in ways that might prove detrimental to America. Joe Biden has rage issues and Joe Biden has shown repeatedly that he cannot control his anger issues and therefore not a fit person for the presidency of the United States of America. 

Such a person will do much harm to the country with all the instrumentalities of power at his disposal, including the nuclear bomb. American people must therefore consider the ramifications of Joe Biden's anger as they go to the polls on November 3rd to elect a new president. ICHEOKU says that certainly should be a disqualifying quality for a candidate for the office to have and Joe Biden possessing it should make him unelectable for the office. He will be easily provoked to wars and he will act rashly because his anger will not give him a breathing space to think his actions through and thoroughly. In this election, think before you vote.

VOTING JOE BIDEN IS CUTTING YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACE: DON'T DO IT.

ICHEOKU says if there is any substantive reason to vote for Joe Biden, will be in the front line campaigning for his election. But after crosschecking every factor, including what will be in the best interest of America, considering the physical capacity and mental ability of a president, have determined that Joe Biden lacks the credentials. Therefore ICHEOKU refuses to believe that anybody is sincerely and seriously considering Joe Biden as a good alternative to President Donald John Trump. The responsibilities of the office of the president of the United States of America are so cumbersome that a man with obvious incapacities cannot effectively run it. The buck usually stopped at the desk of the president, so let no apologists voice out that Joe Biden will surround himself with experts because that will not cut it either. 

Joe Biden is gone, both mentally and physically, and it will be a huge joke electing such a heavily depreciated person to the presidency of the United States of America. The world is watching and waiting to see how seriously American people treat their presidency and whether they will elect a man without his faculties president. With Donald John Trump, the world thought that Americans are merely rebellious, but if they elect Joe Biden, the entire world will conclude that Americans are indeed crazy and should not to be taken seriously because they make mockery of their presidency. 

If the Democrats wanted a real change, they would have presented to American people a healthier and more coherent candidate they can believe in, not a dead man walking zombie who suffers memory recall, is incapable of independent thinking and who cannot make stringed sentences. America has too many problems now, including an insurgent China, an economy on back feet and of course the Chinese Wuhan coronavirus disease to want to shift course and experiment with a mentally retarded man as president. 

ICHEOKU says you may not like the in your face obtuse personality of the president, but please don't trade him for an incapacitated man as rational people do not cut their nose to spite their face. You may not like President Donald John Trump but you will be damned if you replace him with Joe Biden because you will get a government operating on a basement mode. Let your love for country trump over your dislike for the president and vote to keep America First. Only a person with unalloyed love for the country can successfully protect America from the amassed forces waiting to pull America down and tear America to pieces. Regrets are often too late, so don't regret your rash decision to throw away a good presidency because of the man at the helm. Vote for continuity.

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.
