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.

MYANMAR MILITARY COUP: EVIDENCE OF JOE BIDEN'S POOR REGARDS OVERSEAS.

ICHEOKU says they did not dare do it during the presidency of President Donald John Trump because they were afraid of his unpredictability and that such a military putsch could make him livid with anger and resulting to serious consequences. But with the feared big dog now out of the White House and the less feared smaller sickly dog now in the White House, it seems that nobody cares nor respects or fears America anymore, the reason they struck. 

The military coup in Myanmar is now officially the first serious foreign policy challenge to the Joe Biden's administration and who knows how he is going to handle it, admitted ICHEOKU has no confidence of any real wielding of the big stick against the military juntas in Myanmar by the administration. Whatever happens, it appears that they first weighed Joe Biden really well before they struck otherwise they would not have.

The military coup in Myanmar is a big blow to the budding democracy in the Asian country, especially following so soon after the other blow dealt to democracy in America where votes were not honestly counted and election results were not honestly tabulated. It is sad that a supposedly best form of government is facing these numerous challenges in this 21st century. It begs the question, how will the Myanmar military even react to any attempt by the Joe Biden's administration to reach out to them; will they listen or will they refer to the schematics which brought Joe Biden into power and tell America to first remove the log in their eyes before complaining about the spec in other country's eyes. Will Joe Biden have the moral authority to preach democracy to Myanmar when America's democracy is under attack and the American military was used to install Joe Biden into office as opposed to the age long American people's inauguration of their president. 

These issues will continue to hound the Joe Biden's administration until the raised concerns about the November 3rd 2020 presidential election are thoroughly investigated and satisfactorily resolved. 75 million MAGA voters are still dubious that Joe Biden won the election and this black mark on his legitimacy has not gone away nor will it ever go away until the end of times. Since he who seeks equity must do so with clean hands, the other question remains does Joe Biden have the clean hands necessary to demand or ask Myanmar to restore the democratically elected Aung San Suui Kai back to power. Only time will tell and we shall see but their response will depend on how weak they perceive the administration and whether Joe Biden will have what it takes to back his words with action. It is sad.

MOOT IMPEACHMENT: CONVICTION DEAD ON ARRIVAL.

IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP IS NOW MOOT. THE ESSENCE OF IMPEACHMENT IS TO REMOVE A PRESIDENT FROM OFFICE. WHEN THE SUBJECT MATTER PRESIDENT IS NO LONGER IN OFFICE THE REASON FOR IMPEACHMENT TRIAL NO LONGER EXISTS AS HIS EXIT FROM OFFICE HAVE PREEMPTED THE EXERCISE. IT IS THEREFORE AN ABUSE OF CONGRESSIONAL POWERS TO CONTINUE WITH THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCE. CRIMES ARE PROSECUTED TO PUNISH OFFENDERS NOT JUST FOR MERE PROSECUTORIAL JUNKET. IF THERE IS NO PRESCRIBED CRIMINAL PENALTY OR IT NO LONGER EXISTS OR HAS BEEN OVERTAKEN BY EVENTS, THEN YOU DO NOT PROSECUTE. #SayNoToCongressionalOverReach.

MY PILLOW IS AN AMERICAN COMPANY TOO: SUPPORT IT.


ICHEOKU says recall when Goodyear Tires banned its employees from wearing MAGA hats in their plant in Akron Ohio and President Donald John Trump urged a boycott of their tires, how the leftist media and Democrats condemned the president and accused him of being anti American company. They argued that it is un-American to be against an American company which employs American workers and which has not shipped its manufacturing overseas to China and India. They said that such an American company should be supported and encouraged by every American for being so patriotic to keep its manufacturing in America and providing jobs for American people but not boycotted because it plays a very crucial role in growing American economy. 

Suddenly now, My Pillow, another similarly situated American company, based in American city of Minneapolis, which employs thousands of Americans, is being pilloried by the left and the Democrats who are calling for its boycott, with many distributors already yielding to their call by discontinuing carrying My Pillow products. ICHEOKU says what changed and why is it now suddenly ok to call for the boycott of an American company and its products? What is going on in America presently is inexplicable and the fact that the two positions were attained within less than six months of each other is indeed really disturbing. America is not being fairly served by this shifty standards as it is against a united front and smacks of divisiveness which is a threat to America's overall interest. #StopTheBoycottOfMyPillow.

Friday, January 29, 2021

ICHEOKU says Liz Cheney has gone rogue, get her out of leadership position of the Republican Party. She is now a female version of Mitt Romney and cannot be trusted to do right by the party's base. She is no longer good for party's cohesion.  It is time to go Liz Cheney. #ResignOrBeFired.

LIZ CHENEY NEEDS TO GO AND NOW.

ICHEOKU says it does not make sense that someone will be leading a political party's majority when she does not represent their political viewpoint, ideology and philosophy. Only ten Republican members of the House sided with her in her infamous repudiation of President Donald John Trump amongst the over 200 Republican members of the House of Representatives. Also only 5 Republican Senators out of 50 Republican Senators voted in her direction to also antagonize the president. 

Therefore where then lies her authority to continue to lead the party when she represents but a minuscule percentage of members with her rebellious few. She has lost the moral authority to continue leading the party and having lost the confidence of the Caucus, her seat let another take. She should do the right thing and resign now, failing which, she must be forced out. She knew the risk involved of losing her privileged leadership position when she took that demonic step to give her middle finger to the 75 million strong MAGA nation who support the president and now she must pay the price for her betrayal and disloyalty. If Kevin McCarthy does not want to fire her, may be it is about time too, Kevin McCarthy is also forced to resign his leadership of the party. 

Such uncompromisingly loyalty to the party is laid in stone and every politician understands that the only loyalty in a party goes to the leader, hence any denigrate politician such as Lindy Cheney must be forced on her sword otherwise a bad precedent will be set where a leader can lead people without their consent and support. Any such attempt to lead arbitrarily will amount to  autocracy but fortunately, America is still a democracy and the people still command their leaders. Mitt Romney is already enough pain in the butt for the party but the party cannot and must not become a laboratory for the breeding of too many Mitt Romneys including a female version of him as represented in Liz Cheney. 

Over 99.5% of Republicans still support President Donald John Trump and any Republican politician, particularly one in any leadership position in the party, who disagrees with the majority of the party must throw in the towel as the party is not big enough to accommodate such rascal. Enough of the rascality and it is time to curb the excesses of some politicians who do not understand the essence of party politics and whose personal individual interest is a threat to one party unity. That Mitt Romney has not been kicked out of the Republican Party is still a surprise after he publicly campaigned and voted against the president; and now it is the woman from Wyoming that will constitute herself into a boil in the butt. #TimeToGoLindyCheney.

IMPEACHMENT TRIAL: DEMOCRATS STACK THE ODDS AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP

DEMOCRATS ACCUSED THE PRESIDENT OF A CRIME. DEMOCRATS IMPEACHED THE PRESIDENT FOR THE CRIME. DEMOCRATS DID NOT ALLOW THE PRESIDENT TO DEFEND HIMSELF NOR DID THEY CALL ANY WITNESS. DEMOCRATS INDICTED THE PRESIDENT AND SENT THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT TO THE SENATE. DEMOCRATS ARE PROSECUTING THE PRESIDENT AND A DEMOCRAT IS THE PRESIDING JUDGE. NOW WHAT THIRD WORLD COUNTRY AGAIN IS THIS HAPPENING? AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN NO LONGER RECOGNIZE THEIR COUNTRY AS IT IS NO LONGER A PLACE WHERE DUE PROCESS AND FAIR HEARING ARE PART OF THE ADJUDICATIVE PROCESS. EVEN THOUGH THE SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE HAD PROMISED FAIRNESS BUT THE APPEARANCE DEFINITELY SHOWS OTHERWISE. IT IS SAD. #SayNoToUnjustImpeachment. 

TRUST BUT FIRST VERIFY: PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

ICHEOKU says there was a time when his assurances would have weighted enough to sign off on his judgeship of the impeachment trial, but not any more; especially not now that the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party have taken the party hostage and their will rules. His is a case where "trust but first verify" is not even sufficient to give him a benefit of the doubt as such a partisan who has been a fierce Democratic Senator since 1975 cannot suddenly shade his partisanship and be fair to President Donald John Trump who the Democrats hate with passion. America also saw his unrepentant Democratic Party bias during the Justice Brett Kavanaugh's Senate confirmation hearing and you ask yourself, why did he even agree to sit over such a bogus impeachment in the first place, fully aware that it is an aberration to try a president who has served out his term in office. 

Why did the Democratic Party not select an Independent Senator to preside instead of such an arch democrat, at least it would have given the trial some coloration of impartiality. But no, it is a man who has been a "severe" party loyalist and have always voted in tandem with party dictates since 1975 when he first became a senator. ICHEOKU says anyone trusting that Senate President Pro Tempore Patrick Joseph Leahy is capable of being fair in the matter of President Donald John Trump's impeachment trial might as well believe that a leopard is capable of changing its spots or that a mice can be be fairly judged by a jury of wild cats. But be that as it may, how about the appearance of impropriety since fairness demands that justice must not only be done but must also be seen to be done. #SayNoToUnjustImpeachment. 


DEMOCRATS ACCUSED THE PRESIDENT OF A CRIME. DEMOCRATS IMPEACHED THE PRESIDENT FOR THE CRIME. DEMOCRATS DID NOT ALLOW THE PRESIDENT TO DEFEND HIMSELF NOR DID THEY CALL ANY WITNESS.

MITT ROMNEY WILL NEVER BE ELECTED PRESIDENT NO MATTER HIS TRUMP PHOBIA.

ICHEOKU says he can hate all he wants but his hatred cannot and will never erase the fact that 45th is a reality and that he can never be admitted to the membership of that special elite few who called the White House home. Mitt Romney is politically damaged beyond repair that winning a national election will never materialize. A matter made worse by his demonic attacks on President Donald John Trump which have hammered the final nail on his coffin, presidentially, that is. It is sad what asinine hatred could turn a person into, especially one borne out of mere jealousy and not anything wrong which the president did to him. A very irrational man.

President Donald John Trump endorsed Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential run and even contributed to his election campaign funds. President Donald John Trump endorsed his senatorial run in Utah and President Donald John Trump was magnanimous to even consider Mitt Romney for Secretary of State position but considered him not a good fit after numerous interviews and interactions. Yet despite all these warmth gestures, Mitt Romney continues to antagonize the president, thus biting the finger that fed him. Today, he voted for the impeachment trial of the president to proceed despite there being no basis for the impeachment since the president is no longer in office nor committed the crime of inciting insurrection which the Democrats accused him of. 

Anyway, MAGA nation and other conservative Republicans have seen Mitt Romney for what he is and is not who he fakes to be, a good christian although people question whether Mormonism is even of Christ. He is not even a conservative talkless of being a severe conservative as he once proclaimed himself to be. Mitt Romney will never be allowed to fly the Democratic Party's presidential flag and hopefully, Republicans will never make the mistake of ever trusting him again with their's either. To the mormon demon, Americans will never forgive him nor forget his irrational jealousy and hatred of President Donald John Trump and that is the graveyard of his presidential ambition. Rest It In Peace, Mr Penguin.

IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO BE IMPARTIAL.


Once a president always a president. Senator Patrick Leahy has no authority under a "non president" waiver for impeachment after office to preside over the impeachment trial of President Donald John Trump because the president does not fall under a "non president" category of persons. He remains a president forever. The waiver is meant for those other officials below the president who may have committed acts of corruption in office and wanted to evade prosecution by resigning their office. 

The purpose of a president's impeachment is to end his presidency forthwith and stop him from continuing in office which purpose is defeated once a president is no longer in office. It is an aberration for a president who is no longer in office to be subjected to an impeachment trial for acts done while in office and for which there is no longer his existing presidency to remove him from. Congress lost that fight when the president completed his term of office and left because  impeachment is meant to remove a president from office not to punish him thereafter. The matter of impeachment of President Donald John Trump is therefore moot. 

Further, being a member of the charging party, Patrick Leahy is a party adverse to the president and cannot seat in judgment over President Donald John Trump because he cannot guarantee the president a fair trial. Democrats cannot be the judge, the jury and the executioner in the matter of impeachment of the president. They raised the issue against the president, they indicted the president, they are pursuing a trial of the president, they will prosecute the president by themselves and a Democrat is the chief presiding officer or judge. 

It is a constitutional violation of the president's due process rights to fair hearing that the same Democratic Party accused the president of a crime, indicted the president for the crime, will prosecute the president for the crime and will also seat in judgment over the president for the same crime. The Supreme Court should intervene as a matter of constitutional imperative to end the charade of trying a president who is no longer in office for an act done during his presidency for which impeachment is no longer an available post presidency remedy or punishment. Simply an overreach. 


IMPEACHMENT TRIAL IS AN OVERREACH: THE MATTER IS MOOT.

ICHEOKU says if the planned impeachment trial of President Donald John Trump will be presided over by the Senate's pro tempore, who usually seats over non presidents' impeachment trials, what again is the former president being tried for? For something which he allegedly did while still in office as a president and if, why is he now being subsumed under a "non president" status just for the purpose of forcing him under the Senate pro tempore authority. Does presidential immunity no longer cover "crimes" and other acts done by a president while in office? How can the president be tried as a "non president" for what he did as president and when crimes are punished only if the matter was a crime y when the act was done. So, it is either the president is president and therefore cannot come under the Senate pro temper's authority or whatever alleged crime he committed while in office is presidentially privileged. 

Moreso, the president did not resign in order to evade prosecution. No, he duly completed his term which was covered by his presidential immunity. Unlike the 1876 case of Secretary of War Belknap' impeachment trial where the Secretary resigned in order to evade prosecution, President Donald John Trump did not take any overt act such as resignation to avoid prosecution, he served out his term and should have been prosecuted while still in office as impeachment of a president provided, which failure has now made the matter moot. Also a member of the impeachment party cannot sit in judgment over the impeachment trial proceeding as a party to a case cannot be the judge, prosecutor and executioner in the interest of due process and fairness. Patrick Leahy cannot be impartial no matter the pretense and how will he eventually vote when it comes to voting to convict or acquit the president. 

ICHEOKU says does not really know why the Republican Party is tagging along with the Democratic Party's impeachment effort against President Donald John Trump as they should have since shut it down as overreaching.  President Donald John Trump is not a "non president" for the purposes of falling within a Senate pro tempore's adjudicative impeachment authority over non presidents because once a president always a president. The Democrats are just fishing and reaching, trying to claw through to anything just to get their wish. It does not make sense and it should have been stopped by the Republicans, except that they are apparently in concert with the forces ganging up to stop President Donald John Trump's possible come back in 2024. It is about time the Supreme Court is approached to stop the anomaly and put an end to the outrageous and outlandish overreach taking place in the United States Congress. Enough of the persecution.

BACK AND FORTH EXECUTIVE ORDERS BASED POLICY DIRECTIVE NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA.

ICHEOKU says America is gradually turning into a third world country where contracts are not respected and could be so easily canceled on the whim of a new president who wants to rubbish his predecessor's achievements. What happened to government being a continuity and why would a new administration be referred to as an incoming administration when they could so easily severe every umbilical cord tethering it to the government which they succeeded. How can any foreign country or business concern sincerely enter into contract with America when there are no guarantees that it will be respected by a successor administration. How could businesses invest handsomely in America when their business could be laid to waste by a new administration? 

Where does such a new government on a revenge mission expect countries of the world entering into agreements with America and businesses making investments in America to find the confidence that their projects will survive and contracts entered into honored. That what they have toiled for in the preceding four years will not be so cavalierly ruined by a new president who just took office. Why must American policy directive be based on who is in the White House instead of what is in the best for America. What then is the relevance of Congress if they cannot legislate and immunize some of these policies from the adversarial interference of successor president who hates his predecessor so much that he is willing to erase all his policy accomplishments with just a stroke of the pen fashioned as executive orders. 

The reason such orders are prevalent in America is because Congress have technically abdicated its duty to make laws for the country and have somewhat become so partisan that almost nothing is accomplished during their seatings. How could a successor government cancel huge employment projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline and Southern border wall just because of partisan politics while disregarding the acute unemployment situation in the country. A country is bleeding over 15 million jobs and a new government that should be primarily concerned and occupied with how to reduce the unemployment numbers is rather busy killing already existing jobs and adding to the unemployment nightmare. What rational reason justifies increasing the unemployment numbers and adding to the destitution; yet some people do not see anything awful in it just because it plays well to their partisan political interest, the satisfaction of some of their base. 

Any country that will always change its policy every four years depending on who is in the White House does not make for a stable policy direction and it must be very discomforting to its foreign partners as well as the business community. How about the investments Canada made in the Keystone XL pipeline project? How about the extensive work already done in completed hundreds of miles of pipeline laid so far? How about the payments already made to purchase private real properties where some of the pipe line will pass through? How about businesses that made huge investments in pipes manufacturing, cement, trucks, steal and other associated materials necessary for executing the pipeline project. How about contracts that are already signed with hefty penalties in case of a breach. All these sectors employed hundreds if not thousands of workers and with just a stroke of pen, everything is now washed away. Really? 

Is this how a country that prides itself as a bastion of civilized behavior supposed to act? Ruthless and heartless and without any modicum of concern about thousands of livelihoods disrupted as a result of the senseless executive order. How about the Southern border wall that runs several hundreds of miles? Investments made in machinery, steel bars, concrete, cement and other logistics involved in prosecuting the project. How about the thousands of workers engaged in the construction of the border wall who are now rendered jobless just because of political difference between the preceding government and the succeeding government. Those workers cross party lines but the new government just did what they did to spite the government which it succeeded without caring a hoot about the damaging effect of their action on American families. 

Is this how a country competing against China and fighting for their economic life behaves. Is this how America plans to maintain their economic dominance over China, when such disruptions to economic engagements and outputs which are so easily carried out with a stroke of the pen sets it back. When China is busy building, America is busy tearing down but still wants the world to believe that somehow they are the number economy in the world and you ask yourself, if this is true, for how much longer going forward will America maintain the position? 

Is anybody still in doubt why China is eating America's lunch? It is such disruptions to American economic interests by successive governments, made just to satisfy its political base which they frequently pander to primarily without prioritizing America's overall best interest, that causes the bleeding. Two huge projects just went bust just like that because it is what the far left liberal anarchists want. Anybody who is not miffed at the two senseless executive orders of the new administration does not have America's interest at heart. At least, the government should have allowed the contracts already awarded to be completed and that way buy some time for its job creation effort and also not waste resources needlessly by rendering already procured materials redundant. This two projects should have been above and beyond partisan party politics, period.

How can canceling and redirecting policies every four years, depending on who is in the White House, help bring succor and peace of the mind to any country or business dealing with America? How can such u-turn shifting of policies give confidence to any country looking for a concrete and determined relationship ties with America? How does America want the rest of the world to feel about it's mercurial policy directives which fluctuates so often and which now somewhat portrays America as a not serious bankable country but as shifty as quicksilver. Must everything a preceding president did be canceled cache-blanc just because of political differences. 

Nothing justifies the elimination of American jobs at a time when unemployment is biting hard, forcing more families to now join the long list of families already suffering from lack of job, hunger and shelterless. The Keystone XL pipeline and Southern border wall projects cancelation was a big mistake, ill advised and ill timed; they should have been avoided. ICHEOKU says if executive orders cannot be abolished completely, it should somehow be regulated so that issues such as jobs for American workers could become immune from them and are no longer sacrificed with the signing of a presidential signature. It simply does not make sense.

JOBS KILLING EXECUTIVE ORDERS: NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA'S UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM.

ICHEOKU says he said that job loses are mounting, yet he canceled two major contracts that provided jobs for more than 20,000 American workers. Keystone XL pipeline and the Southern border wall projects gainfully employed thousands of American workers until a thoughtless executive order laid their jobs to waste, sending thousands of Americans into an otherwise avoidable unemployment market. Also raising the minimum wage to $15 during this dire economic problem in the country will force many employers to shave off thousands of employees as simply unaffordable and too expensive cost of doing business. 

ICHEOKU says the new administration is turning out to be jobs-killing virus instead of jobs-creating worker bee trying to create jobs for the over 15 million unemployed American workers who lost their jobs due to the Coronavirus pandemic. If they cannot make the job situation better why make it worse, adding to the unemployment pool by destroying already existing jobs. It is not a good policy direction for the country, especially not at this time of great peril in the land. Why rush to cancel these projects now? If  these are signs of things to come, then like Houston, America, we have some problem. It is sad.

INSTALLATION IS NOT INAUGURATION: ILLEGITIMACY STILL SUBSISTS.

ICHEOKU says an installation is different and not synonymous with an inauguration as his  presidency is still being questioned by millions of American people who strongly believe that it was an outcome of a stolen election. American people did not turn out to witness its inception and there is no celebration in the country about it either, largely because he lacks the consent of the governed as it is without their majority votes. American flags, no matter how many of them were festooned and displayed are not American people; flags did not vote in the last election, American people did and they know who they voted for. So the lack of enthusiasm is a clear testament of what actually happened and it led to the improvisation of flags to cover up the apathy which would have attended the installation. What took place is not an inauguration of a president, rather it is an installation of a president by the powers that be which overrode the will of American people who elected a different president than the one installed yesterday. 

A contested election should at least have been fully canvassed in order to bestow legitimacy on the eventual winner. But when every effort made to prove that the election was fraudulent was rebuffed, sabotaged and frustrated, then it leads to only one conclusion, the confirmation of the feared. The fear that whole process was rigged for a particular outcome and that the obstruction was made to prevent the evidence from coming to light. If they had nothing to hide, why prevent the evidence from being presented and their tentacles were so widely spread that every sphere of American government was involved in burying the evidence. But fortunately, American people knew better and that the president they voted for was not the one who was installed into office yesterday. 

Swearing in of a president does not necessarily confer legitimacy on the president, admitted it gives him the power of the office. His perception in the eyes of American people will forever  remains as one who made himself available to be used by the Deep State to thwart the wishes of the people. He will forever be in the eyes of American people an impostor who is occupying an office to which he did not rightly win. Like despots all over the world who periodically organize swearing in ceremonies at the beginning of assumed fresh terms has shown, swearing in is just what it is swearing in and what took place in Washington DC yesterday is not any different. Yes he has been installed as president but inside his heart, he knows exactly what happened and how he became the preferred candidate of the Deep State. 

Majority of Americans legal voters who actually participated and legally voted in the last election, still ask the question what possible roadmap led to Joe Biden's supposed election "victory?" It was definitely not his popularity; not the effort he put in the campaign; not his charm offensive; not his magnetic ability to draw crowds nor did he have any follower-ship that was passionately invested in his successful campaign outcome an dow course he does not possess the oratorial prowess that endear leaders to the people. He also refused to answer policy questions during the campaign and so could not have convinced anyone with stellar policy direction in which he planned to take the country that would have made them sold. He lost Iowa and New Hampshire in the Democratic Party's primaries and was struggling at number 8 position before the powers that be foist him on the Democratic Party as their presidential candidate. 

Suddenly these people and their Deep Staters as well as their media minions want American people to believe that they voted for open borders, to defund the police, to pack the courts, to kill oil and gas industry, to destroy jobs through regulations, to go new green deal on America, to jettison America First, to rejoin Paris Climate accord, to reestablish Iran nuclear deal, to cancel Jerusalem and renounce Israel, that Pennsylvanians voted for to abolish fracking and kill jobs in their State, that American people hate their country so much that they voted for a candidate who loves other countries more than his own country and that they voted for tax hikes. These were some of the issues that were involved in the last election campaign for which both candidates positions were know, admitted the installed president was coy about addressing some of them directly but his body language sold his position out anyway. 

For the first time in history of American presidential election voting counting, counting of votes were arbitrarily stopped midway into the counting and the election winner was not declared on election night; yet America has an appointed day for election not appointed weeks. For the first also, Arizona State election result was called first before Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania and you wonder how that could be possible the tie zones considered and unlike long established pattern. For the first time in history too a candidate who won Florida, Iowa and Ohio ended up not winning the election but they want us to accept that as possible? For the first time in American history a candidate who was leading significantly until 10 pm on election night ended up losing all the lead and then magically lost the election to the other candidate who was far behind before the counting of votes was stopped. 

These are some of the concerns which 75 million American people have about the outcome of the last election and they wanted to challenge it but were resisted and rebuffed. You wonder why the obstruction if there was nothing to hide. As for those who argue that the installed candidate got more votes, about 7 million more votes which difference came largely from only California, why did they not allow the evidence of the fraud to be properly canvassed instead of shutting off anyone who had something to say contrary to their narrative. All they would have done to ensure acceptability was to allow a few days, not intimidate the lawyers engaged to do the work and not also intimidate judges and encourage a limited forensic vetting of what took place. They accommodated a four years protest of the 2016 election including an investigation of the election but would not tolerate a similar extension of liberty to those who protested the 2020 election.

Anyway, as it appears now, the deed is done; the steal can no longer be stopped as they have successfully installed their preferred candidate, but he is definitely not the candidate who American people actually chose and voted for. They said to prove that the election was stolen and also prevented the proving that the election was in fact stolen. How then did they expect you to prove it when they did not allow you to prove it. They threatened and blackmailed hired election lawyers who wanted to in fact prove what happened. They threatened violence should their objective not be realized and signed off on. They couldn't stand to be defeated again and for the third time after the Russian Collusion and Ukrainian phone call previous attempts to remove the president failed. To them it was a do or die effort and they were prepared to destroy America rather not have their way and their intimidation have succeeded. All we can now do is to wish them well and hope for a sort of vindication some day. ICHEOKU says wishes the new administration best of luck but it is sad that their end have justified their means. 

THROWING THE BABY AND THE BATH WATER AWAY IS NOT A GOOD MOVE. TO CANCEL THE PIPELINE XL AND BORDER WALL PROJECTS IN THIS ACUTE UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION IN AMERICA IS A WRONG POLICY MOVE. NOW MORE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL BE THROWN INTO UNEMPLOYMENT, THUS EXACERBATING JOBLESSNESS AND ECONOMIC HARDSHIP. COULD HAVE WAITED.

MIKE PENCE DOES NOT HAVE THE LUXURY.

Unlike Mitch McConnell who is nearing his end, politically and in being, Mike Pence still has long years ahead of him and must thread carefully not to piss off MAGA family. He must therefore watch his current attempt to distance himself from the MAGA leader and isolate himself from whatever travails he thinks President Donald John Trump is currently going through. The fight for an honest election in America was for both of them to wage, but now he is acting as if it was only the president who it mattered to most. Please Mike Pence, don't thread on MAGA family because if you do you will be sorry. You will regret it if they abandon you when you need them in your future political endeavors and aspirations. Mitch McConnell can afford to get away with his disparagement because he is on his last rung of life and could care less if he burn down the house which conservatives built as he no longer needs to shelter therein any longer. #TheTurtleDisappointed.
