GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS NEXT.

Just five people shy of Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting incident that claimed 26 lives, the Uvalde Texas Robb elementary school mass shooting at 21 victims, now ranks among the highest grossing gun carnage in America. It is sad that such frequent blood spilling has tragically become part of our culture as a society. May the souls of the killed now rest.

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi once questioned former President Donald John Trump's fitness to remain in office due to what she claimed was his declining mental capacity. Does anyone know what Madam Speaker presently thinks about the incontrovertible case which America is now saddled with? Just curious!

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

The West should convert frozen Russian assets, both state's and oligarchs' owned, into a full seizure and set them aside for the future rebuilding of Ukraine. Like the Marshal Plan, call it the Putin Plan.

A HERO IS BORN.

I am staying put. I will not run away and abandon my people. The fight is here in Ukraine. What I need are weapons and ammunitions, not a ride out of town like former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani - President Volodymyr Zelensky.

FONNEWS GONE ROGUE.

FOX NEWS REFUSED TO PLAY THE PRESIDENT'S FAREWELL ADDRESS. ROGER AILES MUST BE TURNING IN HIS GRAVE AT THE LOW THE STATION HAS DESCENDED. CHANGE THE CHANNEL. #TuneFoxNewsOff. 

THE SWAMP PREVAILED: IT IS SAD.

THE SWAMP SURVIVED THE DRAIN AND DROWNED THE DRAINER. REVAMPED, SWAMP CREATURES WILL RECONSTITUTE TO CONTINUE THEIR FEEDING FRENZY. IT IS SAD. 

MITCH MCCONNELL: A SHOCKINGLY DISINGENUOUS ATTACK OF THE PRESIDENT.

ICHEOKU says one of the mistakes President Donald John Trump made following his 2017 inauguration was not forcing out the leadership of the party in the Congress. He would have removed both Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan and replaced them with his own trusted people. But he allowed them to stay on in the interest of party unity and both men have proven their true colors. Ryan, was in not allowing any of the president's agenda to come to fruition and now McConnell, for driving in the final Brutus stab, accusing the president of provoking the Capitol melee. 

Who did Mitch McConnell blame for provoking the attack on him and his wife when they were went out for dinner in Lexington in 2018? Was it Congresswoman Maxine Watters who had urged Democrats's foot soldiers to confront any Trump's supporter wherever they see them? Who did Mitch McConnell blame as provoking the attack on then White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders when she was refused dinner at a Virginia restaurant? Was it Hillary Clinton and her band of Russian Collusion propagandists for their false allegation that the president colluded with Putin to steal the election? Who did Mitch McConnell blame for provoking the mayhem that descended on American cities last summer? Was it Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer for their acerbic rhetorics, with the former referring to the president as an impostor and the later threatening Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh. 

But no, it is attacking the president that is his specialty and priority as he blames him for "provoking" a mob action without any evidence in support. Meanwhile his reelection was facilitated by the president and many of those people he now refers to as mob and he gladly welcomed their support when it mattered to him most. Now he readily threw them under the bus just to curry favor as they are refiling the Washington DC swamp which was being drained until now. It is sad that the leadership of the Republican Party does not give a damn or care a hoot about their base and to so disparage the president in this manner, publicly accusing him of provoking the Capitol melee without any evidence, is the lowest of the low any leader of the Republican Party could go. Why are these people so unthinking believing that their credentials as Washington DC swamp dwellers is better than loyalty to their party base. It is sad.

 GRANT THEM PARDON. 

CAPITOL MELEE EXUBERANT MAGA. DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME AFTER DISMISSIVELY REFERRING IT  AS SOME KNUCKLE HEADS DID SOMETHING.


IT IS WRONG TO IMPUT DISLOYALTY ON MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD.


ICHEOKU says with the experience of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi of India in 1984 when her Sikh bodyguards assassinated her, infusing strange ideas in the heads of security agents especially members of the military is always ill advised. Democrats erred in suggesting that some members of the National Guard could go rogue and do harm to Joe Biden. By so saying, even those who never thought about such possibility nor entertained such an idea are possibly now churning that in their mind, afterall we all humans and we do incredible things once the idea has been implanted. Also, even where these honorable volunteers in uniform don't want to do so and never thought about such, they are now  struggling and wondering why such distrust could be levied against them. 
Everything must not be about politics or scoring a cheap political point, no matter how repugnant; politicians should always weigh their utterances before spitting them out. These politicians who conceive such dastard possibility stand condemned and should be condemned for creating doubt about the loyalty of American soldiers. These are people trained and equipped to carry out assigned duties in defense and protection of the country and its citizens. They voluntarily take up the assignment, prepared to pay the ultimate price if need be; yet some unappreciative politicians are now subjecting them to such heinous character assassination. It is not good and it is condemnable and should be condemned by all regardless of their partisan politics. 
ICHEOKU says by citing the two examples above acknowledges that such a thing do happen; but what is wrong here is the planting of the idea in American soldiers, especially with the current tension in the nation. Such is very dangerous and could lead to some unintended detrimental consequences and should not have ever been uttered in the first place. It is wrong to insinuate or suggest that America soldiers could go rogue and do harm to Joe Biden and the putting the idea in them is worse than anything ever said during this trying moment in American history. What if a Timothy McVeigh in camouflaged is lurking around wondering what else to do and suddenly is handed this idea? What if he would have just nursed his hurt feeling from the election but now decides to exploit such idea having concluded that he or she has nothing to lose. 
Democrats are definitely pushing the envelope and to such an extent that will not do anyone any good if it explodes. The earlier they discipline their utterances and actions or intentions, in the interest of the national unity, the better it would be for everyone. Afghanistan and Somalia used to be functioning societies until internal distrusts led to the disequilibrium that laid them waste. American politicians should not take for granted the long existing stability in America, thinking that nothing can happen to it because things do happen. For a country that has been in a costly civil war, provoking such thoughts that could be exploited leading to cascading consequences should be drastically discouraged. It is not ideal nor should it be encouraged. Enough of the acerbic rhetorics.

REPUBLICANS ARE TIMID: BEING INTIMIDATED BY DEMOCRATS.

ICHEOKU says if as it has turned out the riot was planned days ahead of the Save America Speech and that the rioters did not act based on the president's urging and instigation, why again is the president being impeached and harassed? Why are Republicans not rising in defense of the president aware that what is going on is a continuation of the war which they declared against the president since 2016 just because he shamed them and their Hillary Clinton by winning an election which was 'meant" for Hillary Clinton's coronation. Why do the Republicans think it is ok to stand hands akimbo and watch a president who grew their party be shafted in this way and without them fighting back as a party of one whose interest is being destroyed by a well crafted and well choreographed schematic attacks which was perfected to get rid of the Republican Party once and for all. 

Where is the mad rage of the Republicans watching the current torment against the president or do they think that American people do not know what is going on. It is such an unfortunate sorry scene watching the Republicans feign helplessness or guilty because of what happened on January 6th. This same Republicans were around during last summer's Black Lives Matter and Anti Fascist movement grind the country to a halt with their vicious and destructive riots which saw so many cities burnt and historical monuments destroyed. Why did the Republicans not hold Democratic Party leaders accountable for all the destruction of BLM and ANTIFA but are now readily accepting that the president should be held responsible for the Capitol melee which saw a negligible number of the greater MAGA family storm the building. 

Why is it acceptable to them or do they think that they can sacrifice the president and hope to rebuild the party on the back of betraying him. When has a fiery political speech amounted to incitement and where were the Republicans when Nancy Pelosi said that the president is an impostor and not her president or was that not inciting enough? Where were Republicans when Democrats accused the president of being a Russian agent and colluded with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election; a narration which continued into the November 3rd 2020 election? Why is it Republicans that "SHOULD" always be reasonable and must "UNDERSTAND" and now forced to jettison their president when Democrats are always united no matter the issue.

If the Democrats could make such claim which have since been debunked as the hoax which it was and forced an investigative inquisition lasting for years, why then is it not acceptable for the president and MAGA family to challenge the November 3rd election as rigged? Why the double standard of treatment and all these are going on with Republican leaders' tactic approval by not pushing back the ongoing intimidation of the president and their party's base. What is not right is not right and it is in the interest of fairness that every American be treated as equal citizens and their respective complaints and concerns be adjudicated fairly. 

There was an election where one candidate campaigned vigorously while the other stayed in his basement. We watched the enthusiastic crowds that graced the campaign rallies. Votes were being counted on election night with a particular trajectory and suddenly the counting were stopped midway and counting not concluded for the first time in history on election night. Then suddenly overnight, the tallies were changed and somebody said it was not suspicious at least? It is a trite rule of law that justice must not only be done but must also be manifestly seen to be done and applying that to a presidential election in a nation where two different philosophies are at loggerhead, it is necessary that either side be satisfied to a reasonable degree that the election was fairly conducted and the counting of votes reasonable well done. 

But to try and force everyone into a grave silence at the penalty of retribution can only send the resentment underground and like an entombed volcano, its eruption will be detrimental to America's wellness. It would have been better if the steam of the election protest was allowed to be fully vented through necessary accommodations; but the current course embarked upon by Democrats with the tacit approval of the leadership of the Republican Party to totally and completely emasculate dissenters is not recommendable. Injustice is not just and rubbing it on their noses is not a good strategy as a viperous snake might be forced to make a venomous death jab. But ICHEOKU blames the Republicans for their sabotage of the president by not fighting back an obvious targeted blackmail and they will pay dearly for what they did to the president by allowing the Democrats to get away with their traducement. It is sad. 

LEAVE NO MAGA BEHIND.

THE PRESIDENT MUST NOT LEAVE ANYONE BEHIND. THEY STOOD UP FOR HIM AND HE MUST RETURN THE FAVOR. HE SHOULD GRANT THEM PARDON TO AVOID STIGMATIZATION OF THE RED CAP. YES, THEY OVERREACHED BUT SO DID BLM AND ANTIFA THAT RAMPAGED AMERICAN CITIES LAST SUMMER. PRESIDENTIAL PARDONS ARE MEANT FOR THINGS LIKE THIS, SO LET'S JUST ADMIT THEY COMMITTED SOME CRIMES, INCLUDING TRESPASS AND INTIMIDATION AND GRANT THEM PARDON. WITHOUT A PARDON THE MAGA BRAND WILL BE FOREVER TARNISHED AS BUYER'S REMORSE WILL SET IN, ESPECIALLY AMONG THOSE WHO WILL BE PUNISHED FOR THEIR EXCESSIVE EXUBERANCE IN STORMING THE CAPITOL. NOBODY CONDONES WHAT HAPPENED BUT IT WILL HELP UNIFY THE COUNTRY. #PresidentialPardonIsInOrder.

 DEMOCRATS' POWER SHOW, BLAME REPUBLICANS' COMPLICITY. IT IS SAD!

FOX NEWS AND REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE NO LONGER VIABLE CONSERVATIVE PLATFORMS.

ICHEOKU says Fox News abandoned its viewers trying to appeal to liberals in competition with CNN as piloted by its feminist president Suzanne Scott. Unfortunately for them, they forgot that they cannot be as good as the master in pandering to liberals. Now the viewers who made Fox News what it became have gradually shifted their loyalty elsewhere and it is beginning to show with their falling ratings. They took for granted that their rise was due to being an opposition channel and not a mainstream channel and they were not smart enough to appreciate this denominating factor. 

By the same token the Republican Party has also abandoned its base by not standing firmly with their beloved MAGA president. They cannot survive as a viable political party without the MAGA base and will not ever recover from the current scorch earth attack of the Democratic Party unless they change course and make up with the MAGA family. They forgot that opposition party means opposition and that their existence oxygen is to provide those people who do not like the Democratic Party an option. Trying to be like the Democratic Party is not an option because they cannot beat the original. Conservative voters vote Republican because they do not like the liberal policies of the Democratic Party and do not want anything to do with their agenda. 

A wise party would have imbibed this as they pursue political power; but no, they ganged up against the president and refused to stand with him to fight for what will benefit the entire party. It is sad. It is about time that a new political party emerges to either displace the Republican Party in its dying throes or provide conservative voters with a real choice in elections. Just  like One America News and Newsmax are now viable alternatives to the Fox New brand which has lost its essence, a third political party should avail conservative voters a new platform that in fact truly represents them and their values. A look-alike is not good enough nor is an imitation going to ever be better than an original; especially for Fox News which called Arizona too early but refused to call Pennsylvania and Florida and single handily screwed up election night and election result of November 3rd, 2020. 

ICHEOKU says Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity should switch their allegiance from Fox News to One America News or Newsmax immediately and bury Fox News for good. It is difficult watching their programming and presentations as watching it makes you feel trapped inside an airport lounge with CNN being forcibly fed to you. What an unthinking people at the management that veered from their original set objective of providing an alternative to liberal media which aided their growth as they wanted to now be like their liberal outfit. ICHEOKU turned off Fox News channel since November 3rd 2020 but watches Tucker Carlson recorded without the advertisements. Therefore it is about time Fox News and the Republican Party made way for real conservative platforms to take over since they have lost their conservative mantra. When salt loses its taste it is no longer salt but sand and so has the two formerly conservative institutions lost their way and need to go.

DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE DEFENDED THEIR PRESIDENT NO MATTER WHAT.  IMAGINE A REPUBLICAN LEADER MS CHENEY VOTING AGAINST THE PARTY'S INTEREST, APPARENTLY WITH MITCH MCCONNELL'S AND KEVIN MCCARTHY'S  TACIT APPROVAL. REALLY? DON'T THEY EVER LEARN FROM DEMOCRATS? REPUBLICANS ARE FINISHED. IT IS A SHAME AND VERY SAD!



HE TOO IS MAGA, RIGHT?

 
ICHEOKU says how a MAGA pretender really looks like. It is unfortunate that they rolled the president over with their false accusation of instigating a melee which was planned days before he gave his speech. It is sad.

CAPITOL MELEE: SAVE AMERICA SPEECH WAS INFILTRATED.

ICHEOKU says everyone knows that it is out of character for MAGA to be destructive or riotous as witnessed throughout the last four years especially last year when they avoided confrontation despite all the provocations from the BLM and ANTIFA movement. But suddenly, some people want the world to believe that MAGA suddenly became possessed with destructive demonic spirit which turned them into raging animals against the Capitol. Really? 

Thank goodness some of the infiltrators are now being nabbed and hopefully the authorities will not protect them in another attempt to put the blame on MAGA. Some of them have been identified including a son of New York States Supreme Court Judge who is a far left liberal democrat. 

Anyway, Jesus Christ was falsely accused just to crucify him and this people have wrongly accused the president just to take him out of the White House. But like Jesus, the president can only grow bigger, huger and larger in the hearts of those who love him and who admire his tenacity faced with such degree of detractors including members of the Republican Party. It is sad.

PRESIDENT TRUMP BEING SCAPEGOATED: SPEECH DID NOT CAUSE CAPITOL MELEE.

ICHEOKU says if there was a warning by the FBI to the Capitol police a day before January 6th, on the 5th, that there will be an unrest, why then blame the president's speech for the failure of the Capitol police to protect and defend the Capitol building? If as the opposition claims that  President Donald John Trump instigated the Capitol violence by his Save America Speech, where then did this fella get those plastic restraints? Why also did some of the people who stormed the Capitol came prepared, armed and ready to visit violence to the Capitol building; but they want the world to accept their skewed narrative that the president's speech drove the stormers into action. 

ICHEOKU says went back to read the full transcript of the long speech and found no evidence, no matter how interpreted, where the president called for violence on anybody or the Capitol building. A matter affirmed by the trait of a president who did not take America into any new war, who loves law enforcement, who frequently sang praises of police officers and other security agencies, who abhors violence and who continuously preached law and order throughout his four years in office. But for any unbiased person to accuse the president of being the mastermind of the violence at the Capitol is simply farfetched as it is unsustainable by evidence.

The president has never incited violence and did not incite the Capitol violence. He condemned every acts of violence in America and throughout the world which led to his effort to restore peace in the Middle East especially between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Throughout last summer as Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA looted and burnt American cities, the president  continuously preached law and order and severally asked mayors and governors in affected cities and states to send them federal help which many rejected. 

So to accept the narrative that he suddenly changed and became violent in the final days of his administration as his traducers would want us to believe, begs the question, is this propaganda not another installment in the continuing persecution of a president hated by the opposition party and loathed by some members of the Republican Party. Now both elements have joined forces for the final push to smear a man whose shoe lace they are not fit to tie. Their objective is to silence him and force him to stop protesting a rigged election and destroy his chances of ever running again in 2024 should he so desires. It is not right and the fact that some Republicans are part of the grand conspiracy orchestrating these attacks is despicable. Just read the transcript of the speech or watch the video and point out any words which the president uttered that amounts to incitement of violence or which has never been used by a politician before. It is sad.

JUST THE FACTS: HIS SPEECH DID NOT CAUSE THE RIOT.

"I know that everyone here will be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." - President Donald John Trump. Yet he incited the violence we are told. Really?

 

AMERICAN SOCIAL MEDIA GIANTS LED BY TWITTER HAS EMBOLDENED DESPOTS ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH STIFLING OF SPEECH. WATCH OUT FOR THEIR CRACKDOWN OF THEIR PEOPLE. WHAT A SHAME. IT IS SAD.


REPUBLICANS ARE MYOPIC: OBLIVIOUS OF DEMOCRATS' END GAME EFFORT.

ICHEOKU says Democrats want to bury the Republican Party deep six and they have put the machineries in motion to actualize this particular objective. Ladies and gentlemen, the end of the Republican Party as we know it is nearer today than it has ever been. For the first time in the history of American politics a politician is being held accountable for the boiled-over passion of some of his supporters mixed up with other extremists and not for any known crime which he personally committed. The Democrats are pushing this narrative and some unthinking Republicans have bought into it hook, line and sinker; and are now part of the coalition piling up against the president and forcing some hitherto high ranking supporters to distance themselves from the president. Their objective being to create a divide among Republicans, demonize and isolate their base and then have them where they want them, in the dark corner of political irrelevance where ever winning a nation-wide presidential election will be difficult if not impossible. 

Suddenly giving a fiery political speech has become a crime and is now the same thing as giving inciting speech of insurrection. If every speaker in this world is to be held responsible for how any other individual interpreted his speech and react to it, then speech will become hindered as speakers will no longer freely express themselves for fear of being accused and persecuted as inciting the mob. Any person who is truthful and honest reading through the President Donald John Trump's speech will strongly beg to differ that the president uttered any incendiary words in his speech for which he is being accused of insurrection and for which the Democrats have once again orchestrated another hoax impeachment. No where in the speech did the president urge, encourage nor incite MAGA family to take up arms against anyone including those members of Congress in the Capitol. Even the FBI has confirmed that the unrest was planned days before the speech, yet the Democrats are forcing their way through to punish the president for no reason at all. 

So, the ongoing coup in the country is actually against the president and not the other way round; and it has been a continuous motion since 2016 because he won an election Hillary Clinton was supposed to be coronated with. Now every voice of dissent in America is being hounded and intimidated because of holding different opinions and political viewpoints that do not conform to a set order of the far left. Yet they want the world to believe that there is freedom in America and that America is the home of the brave and land of the free. Where then is the freedom in America when people are being penalized for holding and expressing their own opinions. Where is the freedom when a person cannot have a political viewpoint that is different from what the establishment wants and desires for them and are hounded. The Democrats could object to the 2016 election for four years but MAGA cannot object to the November election just for two months? BLM and ANTIFA can burn down things including churches but some negligible fringe elements cannot breach the Capitol? Where were all the security agencies now descending on the stormers last summer when the country was petrified by BLM and ANTIFA?

But unfortunately, Republicans are oblivious of the bullseye that has been painted on their backs as their destruction as a viable political party alternative is the primary purpose of the Democrats effort at creating a wedge between them and their base which is largely made up MAGA world. MAGA is not only the president's supporters but they also ensured that Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell and others were all voted back into office. MAGA voted for all the congressmen and women who swept away Democrats in the last election, so MAGA is as Republican as the oxygen in our lungs. It is sad that Americans are being pushed apart in this manner and you wonder what path then exists for Americans' eventual coming together as a united people. What is fair is fair and what is unjust is unjust and a country that treasures its peaceful existence cannot continue to encourage such disparate treatment of its citizens as it creates divisions, suspicions and hatred for each other.

The argument then in 2017 when the "lock her up" echo about Hillary Clinton was fever pitched over her deletion of 33,000 emails criminal behavior was that to prosecute her would amount to persecution of political opponent and punishing fellow Americans for having different political and ideological viewpoints. Some even compared the threat of her prosecution to what  happened in Ukraine where a sitting president locked up his opponent. But now, the president and the entire MAGA world are being threatened with political and economic annihilation and you wonder how the Hillary Clinton's matter was any different political persecution than the current move against President Donald John Trump and MAGA family. 

Republicans believe the whole fight is just about the president and that it is his battle alone to wage; forgetting that the Democrats are trying to erode the grown base of the Republican Party which was achieved by the president where Republicans are now numerically very competitive with the Democratic Party's base. Why Republicans are this complacent is so mind boggling that their future viability as a competitive political party has become somewhat questionable. It is also regrettable that Republicans have not mastered the art of economic boycott which the Democrats have perfected to an art and which they use to hold companies and corporations captive to their will. Could Apple or any corporation afford to lose 75 million customers assuming the Republicans who voted for the president galvanized themselves into a formidable pressure group and decided to abandon their products. 

Even the ban of the president by tech giants are being treated by Republicans as his private personal affair and not an affront on the entire Republican Party whose president is being so denigrated. Where is the outrage or haven't they learnt a thing or two about the Democrats who always band together as one. Also noteworthy is that despots throughout the world will, going forward, use the Twitter, Google and Facebook examples to muzzle their citizens any time they want to take arbitrary decisions by clamping down on Internet accessibility to make it impossible for their people to politically interact. The temporary gain might seem good for those benefiting from it now, but it will come back to bite them in the future just like the Harry Reid's removal of the former 60 senators requirement filibuster rule. But hey, the world is watching as America is gradually melting away like a lit candle wax; with the people more divided now than ever and the political class now fully divided as well. As it stands today, it will only take the dividing of the military to complete the breakup and before something catastrophic happens to the body cohesion of the United States of America as we know it. It is sad.
