CORONAVIRUS AMERICA NEEDS A NEW FACE: IT'S TIME FOR DR FAUCI TO GO.

ICHEOKU says the diminutive 80 years old epidemiologist has been the face of coronavirus in America since the advent of the pandemic last February 2020. He is the go to authority figure on the pandemic as anything and everything he says about the virus  becomes the gospel, the truth and only truth about coronavirus. He was the coronavirus "expert" when no American died from the pandemic and one year later, he is still the coronavirus "expert" now that over 500,000 Americans have died from the pandemic. This is not the type of progress which is expected of his "expertise"; American people deserve better and in fact needs a 180 degree change on the type of expert who is managing the coronavirus pandemic. American people should therefore demand for a result based expertise as opposed to one which is predicated on mere guesswork with the attendant inconsistencies and missteps. 

Any other consultant or even employee with such a record as Dr Fauci garnered in his coronavirus pandemic management would have since been fired for advising Americans in a wrongful uninformed manner that led to such an outrageously high number of deaths recorded. Five hundred thousand coronavirus dead Americans is a bad record for any "expert" to set and it should have been enough to disqualify him from continuing in that capacity going forward. One is forced to ask, what difference then would it have made if it was a bar tender that was advising Americans on the coronavirus instead of Dr Fauci since his supposed "expertise" did not make matters any better nor positively impacted the disease with less casualties. Rather he earned America the deadliest place on earth where the coronavirus savaged the people the most. America should discontinue his services as the face of coronavirus as he had led America only to the bottom place in coronavirus devastation. 

ICHEOKU says Megan McCain was right that Dr Anthony Fauci has been "inconsistently messaging" Americans on the coronavirus and still continuing till date; and that American people need a new person to lead the coronavirus effort. ICHEOKU totally and completely agrees with Megan McCain that it is about time Dr Anthony Fauci is let go and for a new person to mount the saddle and carry on with the effort. At least such a change will breathe some fresh air into the coronavirus management and also give Americans a reason to be hopeful once again that the new face will bring a new hope to what has become a very devastating lingering situation. In fact Anthony Fauci as the face of coronavirus is now stale and projects despair and hopelessness. It was under his watch that 500,000 Americans lost their lives to coronavirus and he must accordingly be debited as such. 

With this type of result how can he or anyone justify his continuing stay in that office, having failed abysmally in the discharge of this assigned responsibility. To some, he may be the oracle on coronavirus and to so many others, he is the reason America did not fare well in dealing with the Chinese scourge. America did not get an early start in battling the pandemic last February 2020 because Dr Fauci told Americans that they have no reason to worry about the developments in Wuhan China. He also gave series of inconsistent advises along the way last year which led to the destruction of five hundred thousand of American lives by the Chinese Wuhan pandemic. He is always on television where his mousy face and quivering lips have become a near permanent fixture, reeling out the dos and don'ts in the battle against the coronavirus pandemic, yet 500,000 dead Americans are the only testimony to his expertise, really?

If Dr Fauci is such an expert why did America suffer the worst fate in the coronavirus scourge when so many other countries including more populous China and India as well as so many third world countries did not see deaths nearly close to what America is witnessing. The same Dr Fauci who led the coronavirus effort during President Donald John Trump is still leading the effort in this Joe Biden's administration and you wonder what difference he is going to make now which he couldn't make or weren't allowed to make during the last administration. A matter made more serious because none of his numerous advises and recommendations during the President Donald John Trump government was ignored or not implemented, yet he recorded such a devastation. So, following this his proven failure, why should anyone including Joe Biden now trust Dr Fauci to do better. 

The panacea is an effective break from the past and to bring in a fresh mind to oversee the effort going forward. Many people now only see Dr Fauci as the doctor death whose pronouncements throughout last year steamrolled thousands of Americans to their untimely deaths. Such a badge of dishonor should not be allowed to hang on the new administration and a total break from him is needed. It also does not matter what he says now or the lame excuses and effort he is making to distance himself from President Donald John Trump. He is stuck with being the face of coronavirus in America and nothing meaningful can come from his tired brain and worn out ideas regarding finding new ways to manage the pandemic. He is out of ideas; his previous solutions did not work to improve America's coronavirus fight and he has no new ideas to inject into the effort. It is time a new expert to be engaged to tackle the pandemic. 

Dr Anthony Fauci has no credibility left in him and his ability to fashion ideas that would help manage the coronavirus better is greatly diminished. He is full of contradictions and only "great" in the thinking and eyes of Hollywood, but definitely not the miracle worker needed for the coronavirus in the eyes of American people. American people are deeply disappointed with his performance and wants him gone and even since with the wind of January 20th alongside the previous administration. The fight against the coronavirus needs a fresh mind and a different scientific reasoning. Dr Fauci needs to go, at least if not for any of these reasons, for the optics of not being a left over from the Trump's administration. He was there last February 2020 and he is still here this February 2021 during which time 500,000 Americans have lost their lives. His leadership of the effort no longer gives American people hope that the coronavirus war is winnable or being won and he should be swept away and his position let another take. #AwayWithFauci

CORONAVIRUS DEATHS PASSES HALF A MILLION: RIP

 

500,000

WHEN THE RED PHONE RINGS: CAN HE ANSWER IT?

ICHEOKU says will he be fast asleep or heavily disorientated, sedated and going through one of his senior moments. Will he be struggling with balancing himself and his thoughts with extreme difficulty trying to articulate informed response to whatever situation that may be at play at the given time. Will he be able to appreciate the gravity of the unfolding situation, analyze same or discern the recommendations and then react to it appropriately. Will he have the presence of mind to engage foreign leaders in discussing issues which affect America's global interests when they arise and effectively protect America  or will he just yield to their pressure and give away too many stuff just to be seen as embracing globalism? In other words, when that red phone rings, will he be awake and alert to effectively answer it?

This was one of the many issues that was raised during last year's presidential election campaign leading up to the November 3rd 2020 when some people, despite all the obvious signs of mental fatigue, did something with their votes resulting in the change of leadership in the White House. Now, barely four weeks into the administration all the warning bells are going off and they are now telling us that senior citizen Joe "prefers" to go to bed early or as they phrased it, likes "early bedtime." ICHEOKU says if he retires to bed so early, who then will pick the red phone when it rings by 2.00am or will Kamala Harris be allowed to make life and death decisions such as putting American soldiers in harm's way when she is not the commander in chief of the United States military. 

The picture coming out of the White House does not telegraph anything comforting where Ms Harris is now conducting international telephone calls with foreign leaders, heads of States, prime ministers and presidents, a function which her office is not authorized under the United States constitution to perform. This is and should definitely be a cause for serious concern for American people as it suggests that the office of the commander in chief is technically vacant by necessary implication or not manned 24/7. If Joe Biden cannot stay up late at night to pick up the red phone when issues requiring his immediate attention arises in some distant foreign lands, why again is he in the White House as American people's chief servant and commander in chief. It shows that America has indeed, as predicted, entered into a one-chance vehicle with no assured destination in their GPS. 

How can a leader of a country go to bed at dusk when so many issues usually come up overseas very late at night, American time. Which foreign leader will rely on Kamala Harris' words and assurances when they have not heard from Joe Biden himself? Some things do not look right with the picture being painted by the White House and it gives no one any comfort to hear of such early bedtime situation. This is exactly what hatred do to a people when they decide to cut off their nose just to spite their face. America had it going for it with a very energetic workhorse president, who hardly sleeps but conspiracy of some people cost America that choice. Joe Biden was old and frail during the campaign before the election and there was no reason then to believe that he will somehow find the fountain of youth and magically mend after the election; but some people maniacally stayed the course and now this discomforting news of his continuing sloppy downhill slide. It is sad. #25THAmendment. 

MAGA IS ALIVE AND WELL, HURRAY!

MAGA LIVES ON. NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER. WE WILL NEVER COWER DOWN NOR ALLOW CANCEL CULTURE BUZZARDS RIP OUT OUR ENTRAILS.

WISH IT WAS A DREAM.

ICHEOKU says don't we miss him already as the unfit in the White House is but a caricature and ghostly apparition of what was once. America had it going for it so well until some killjoy detractors decided to cut off the nose just to spite the face and it will never be the same ever again in America, at least not within the next four years. Even Saturday Night Live is boycotting and sitting out the current occupant of the White House and have decided not to cover him. Put in another form the presidential shoes of President Donald John Trump are simply too big for any other wanna be to ever fill. Sometimes, it does not even feel like America has a president currently. It is so sad what we are now forced to put up with under the guise of a president and it is not a dream from which one can just wake up. Simply unfathomable.  

TED CRUZ HAS APOLOGIZED: LETS MOVE ON.

ICHEOKU says agrees the optics was bad. It was tone deaf and a bad political move as he is seen as being insensitive and indifferent to the suffering of his electors, going on a vacation trip to sunny Cancun while some of his fellow Texans froze to death. However, he cut short the trip and returned and have since apologized; now, everyone must move on. Democrats flew to Hawaii last year during the lockdown to do their jamboree while millions of Americans were left without jobs and denied the ability of leaving their houses, so let's leave the selective righteous indignation aside and forge ahead with more serious issues facing the nation. Ted Cruz while on the trip was not entirely out of loop with the emergency and there were local and state officials whose task it was primarily. But hey, imagine Texas froze over and hell is still fiery hot. 

RONNA MCDANIEL SLEPT ON THE WHEEL: PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ELECTION OUTCOME.

ICHEOKU says she has been largely under the radar since the November 3rd 2020 election and practically shielded from all the blames and darting salvos following the outcome of the election. But it should not be so because she is somewhat largely responsible for not leading the Republican Party through a successful election. As the party's chairwoman it behoved on her to marshal all the election effort into a victorious outcome and at worst, could have retained the two seats of power held by the Republican Party going into the election. But to lose everything, regardless of the rigging that took place, is simply unforgivable and she should be held responsible for the cruel fate suffered by the Republican Party. 

She is not without blemish and cannot just go responsibility-free in losing the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives. She slept on her duty-post, the reason she did not see the antics of the Democratic Party coming and underestimated the length which they were prepared to go to get rid of the president from the White House. It is possible too that she did not anticipate the magnitude of their rigging and took contingency counter measures which were unfortunately not enough to counterbalance whatever the Democratic play was. Although nobody anticipated the level of rigging which took place, but a woman at the helm of affairs should have built in additional measures fully aware the existing animosity and the expressed intention by the Democratic Party to make President Donald John Trump a one term president. It was her duty to lead the Republican Party to a glorious outcome and she failed woefully; every other thing are but mere excuses. 

The worst outcome was her inability to even win back her State of Michigan which she won for the party in the last 2016 presidential election and this is simply inexplicable. This alone would have been sufficient to disqualify her from continuing as the party's chairwoman because there was no basis in fact to justify the renewal of her contract with the Republican Party as its chairwoman, having proved herself grossly incompetent and ineffective. She also crushed the hope which President Donald John Trump reposed on her when he removed Reince Priebus as party chairman and made her the chairwoman. At least Reince won a presidential campaign and also both houses of Congress for the party when he served. But somehow the Republican Party chairwoman has been largely unscathed from the dustup of the total routing of the party in the last election and you ask yourself why is she being protected. 

Although many people believed that the November 3rd 2020 election was stolen after the Election Day and that should give her an out from any blames arising from her performance or lack thereof. ICHEOKU however begs to disagree and says that the election was stolen long before November 3rd, 2020. It is called ballot harvesting and Democratic Party's operatives and foot soldiers perfected it into an art and handedly ate her lunch as she was oblivious of what hit her. Democrats did their homework well and they stole the election right under Ronna McDaniel's nose. They surreptitiously lobbied for peoples votes, handing in incentives and in some cases outrightly bribing voters. They did this by penetrating into poor neighborhoods, senior citizen homes, convalescence centers and Hospices to mop up votes and in some cases even literary helped fill the ballot by themselves for the invalids and inbound patients. 

They also used the pastors and leaders in various minority communities to organize and orchestrate the biggest heist of votes in America's election history which helped sway the outcome of the election. They had it in the bag before the November 3rd, 2020 and even Nancy Pelosi boasted during the campaign that it does not matter what happens on Election Day that Joe Biden will be sworn in as president on January 20th 2021. This is where Ronna McDaniel blew it as she waited for Election Day for voters to turn out en-mass and vote for Trump but unfortunately by then millions of votes have already been mopped from the polity which left  MAGA voters playing a catch up in order to surmount and surpass already cast votes for the Democratic Party's candidate Joe Biden. They fell short and that was why the outcome was what it was. 

ICHEOKU has reviewed and analyzed every possible scenario why the election ended the way it did because Joe Biden did not stand any chance whatsoever going into November 3rd, 2020. The conclusion is that some electoral malpractice took place but it was clandestinely and flawlessly executed in such a way that it fooled everyone and largely untraceable. Democrats were on top of their game and they caught Ronna McDaniel's led Republican Party napping and later yapping. It was like an infiltration maneuver where the enemy had already breached security parameters and doing their dirty deed on the grounds before more security were drafted to man the security fence. Republicans literarily had all their eggs in one basket, convinced that American people will not vote against their interest and will troop out in very large numbers to keep agendas America First and Make America Great Again going. It was that thinking that made the Democratic Party strategy to succeed as they swooped in when nobody was alert and hauled in all the votes they needed. 

It was that margin of early votes that made the difference in the election because American people turned out and decisively voted for President Donald John Trump on Election Day but their effort was not enough to override an already stacked odds against the president. The game was simple, community organizers were recruited by the Democratic Party who approached the people in their various districts that are well known to them in order to ensure that the plan was water tight and not leaked. Gifts including cash exchanged hands discreetly as a trade for votes and many people in poor communities took the bait. The lingo on the street was "what is in it for me" since their lives will not change regardless of who wins the election. So, the cash in hand or better still the bird in hand became a preferred choice to many because politicians' empty promises are never fulfilled once they are elected. 

It was such an enticing bargain for these poor voters; at least to get some reward now for their votes since nothing is guaranteed after the election and the mass mailing of ballots made it a field day for the Democratic Party's operatives. Broaching this issue always leads to the retort, where is the evidence and you wonder how possibly can it be proved when it was largely by words of mouth through neighborhoods, community centers and associations without any written or recorded evidence of it. Also those ballot harvesting carried out in senior and convalescent centers cannot be proved because who are you going to ask or interview; the dementia suffering seniors who did not even know that they voted or who they voted for, but who merely signed their signature as instructed by their care givers. Will the pastors confess that they instructed their ever submissive flock to vote for a particular candidate because that was what "God revealed and instructed them to do?" Who is going to confess to a crime of receiving something of value for their votes? That was where some of the campaign funds actually went into, tagged as mobilization and voter outreach expenses. 

Anyway, this is not a cry me a river lamentation, but to highlight the shortcoming of the Republican Party chairwoman who was caught off guard by the schematic Democrats. It is to apportion some blame to her for her shortcoming and cluelessness which made her not to see it  coming and catch it or provided counter measures to douse and mitigate it. But how does anyone actually guard or prevent such secret machinations especially when voters had their ballots mailed to them ahead of Election Day, thus giving the wide room for such manipulations. How can anyone reasonably stop faith adherents from listening to their pastors for directive on how to vote in an election? How can residents of senior and convalescence centers and hospices be made to not do what their care givers told them? 

How can anyone penetrate poor neighborhoods and community organizations to thwart such pay per vote schemes. It is in fact utterly difficult if not impossible to totally eliminate election tampering and voter fraud. Anyone who ever questions whether votes irregularities exist or doubts that such frauds do take place should just try to explain why and how dead people could cast ballots in an election. If it happened once it could have been replicated in hundreds of thousands if not more. Although some people insist that election irregularities are not generally wide spread and you tell them that the reason it appears to be not large scale is that they are so clandestinely executed that it is difficult to fully identify and isolate them. It is akin to pouring a a cup of rice into a bad of rice and then asking to prove if more rice was added to the bag when you cannot easily prove that some more rice was added. What happened was sad but Ronna McDaniel has some blame for it as well and she should know and be remorseful.

KIM DIVORCING KANYE: ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD CONTRAPTION BITES THE DUST.

ICHEOKU says the shocking thing about the announced divorce filing, if any, is that their union even lasted this long without any major drama or salacious scandal whatsoever. It was a faulty union at best, which arose from infatuation based on sheer shallowness rather than on real solid foundation that would have ensured an everlasting love. She was restless in marriage and went through a few successively; from Damon Thomas, to Chris Humphries then to jumping on the Kanye West marriage train which they rode for nearly seven years; a life time for many marriages especially a Hollywood marriage.  

ICHEOKU says if only Kanye West had listened to his bosom friend Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce, may be he would have saved himself the heartache of marrying a woman who is so invested in her family that she would rather Kanye became a subsumed member of the Kardashians clan than forge their own independent West family, separated from the Kardashians. So, without mincing words, it is obvious that control was an issue which plagued the marriage as Kim is the type of woman who does not do what she does not want to do and will not yield to anybody's preferred interest. Kanye West also has a strong will, thus their union ensured that two captains were placed on the same deck and navigating the same ship which led to it now running aground. 

ICHEOKU says had Kanye's mother been alive she would not have approved of their union. But unfortunately, her sudden death devastated Kanye so much that his behavior raptured into the erratic fella which he turned into and it largely influenced his decision to jump the shark and got entangled in the Kardashian's family web. A matter not helped by his soon to be former mother in-law who did not provide him with the motherhood comfort nor filled the mother vacuum which was created in his life by the death of his mother. But instead, the Kardashian matriarch is still playing the game of spotlight chasing and competing fiercely with other members of the clan for the front row seat and not taking a back seat and managing the family as would any unselfish mother. 

So the absence of Kanye West's mother was very much an issue as there was no mother to which he can easily run to for advise and counsel whenever an issue arose that bothered him about his martial life. ICHEOKU is not saying that he is not old enough to manage his life, but he was not matured nor prepared enough when he lost his mother and it haunts him till date. He still nurses the pain of his mother's sudden exit as they were very close and he relied on her for so many things, especially life advise; which is not the strongest suit of his mother in-law who is fiercely competitive herself. A good mother would have seen and listened to his cry for help on time and did the needful to properly equip him on how to handle family business; ditto Kim.

ICHEOKU is even surprised that Kanye West withstood the situation as long as he did, being always outnumbered. So many men would have since signed off and ran away but he persevered probably because he was afraid of not having a family to call his own. Anyway, ICHEOKU wishes both of them the best of luck and pray that they will learn to live without each  other and eventually find someone they could be at ease and at home with. Their values definitely significantly changed and maintaining two homes and different lifestyles seems no longer an option. Now they want to move on and go their separate ways and an amicable divorce is the best way to do it. They have commenced the process and hopefully it will be quickly settled so that the parties can be free and at rest independent of one another. 

TWO CUOMO BROTHERS COMEDY CENTRAL, COMING BACK?

ICHEOKU says why has the nursing homes coronavirus deaths cover up scandal not morphed into a Watergate sized scandal yet; or is the leftist fake news media covering up for the senior Cuomo? Even his junior brother Fredo has not deemed it fit to re-invite his big brother Andy back on CNN for a second edition of their Cuomo Brothers Comedy Central to hash out possible defenses for the cover up. But hey, it always depends on who their target is as everything they do on CNN is purely a narrative and not necessarily news reportage. 

A POLITICAL REJECT: GOOD FOR HER.

ICHEOKU says it is good that President Donald John Trump rejected her entreaties for a Mar-Lar'Go detente as she has proved herself a double faced janus who cannot be trusted. Nikki Haley, despite all the love the president had for her and opportunity provided to serve as America's ambassador to the United Nations decided to throw the president under the bus, believing that the president would not survive his impeachment trial. She is simply too opportunistic and now must pay a hefty price of rejection from the 75 million strong MAGA nation. Sad.

MITCH MCCONNELL GOT HIS ANALYSIS WRONG: REALLY FEELING GRUMPY.

ICHEOKU says it is about time Mr Turtle retired from the Senate or at least resigned his leadership of Senate Republicans as he cannot be in opposition to the generally acknowledged dearly beloved leader of the party President Donald John Trump. Not any longer shall such open rebellion be tolerated, and particularly not now that the Senate has acquitted the president in the hoax impeachment trial, which they rightly did because the president was not guilty of committing the offense charged. 

So, regardless of how anyone, including Mitch McConnell, feels about the president's preceding conducts leading up to the riot, the only relevant issue was whether his January 6th Save America Rally speech caused the riot. The speech was the sole basis for his indictment and it was proved that the speech did not trigger the riot and that was where the case should have closed for everyone including Mitch McConnell. The president was found not guilty and acquitted and Mitch McConnell should have left the matter rested there. But he went out of his way to personally re-indict the president on extraneous accusations which were not part of the original impeachment and thus started the beef with the president. 

As a leader, he should show an example of leadership by not openly and publicly chastising a president from his party in such a disparaging manner. He should have known the implications of his words and weighted them thoroughly before uttering them. He could have admonished the president privately or in a Republican Senate conference, but he chose to publicly attack the president and that was where he crossed the line. Mitch McConnell was wrong and therefore at fault for publicly insulting the president and creating the current atmosphere of discord within the Republican Party. The president was put on trial and was found not guilty of the charged crime of "incitement of insurrection"; but instead of celebrating the not guilty verdict which his party recorded he decided to muddy up the president further; thus telegraphing that he would have had the president convicted had the charge been brought within jurisdiction and when he was still the Senate majority leader. 

Why such animosity against a president who even made his wife a Transportation Secretary and helped the Republican Party in so many ways including in fund raising and winning seats for the party. Even if he sincerely felt that the president was somewhat responsible for the riot, why so publicly chastise him since the Senate has already voted to acquit the president. Whatever issues he may have with the president and which were eating him raw from the inside, he should have kept them to himself and not so publicly visit his frustrations on a president who was found not guilty of the opposition party's "incitement of insurrection", a continuation of their four years  attack. The president did not incite the insurrection, at least not by the said speech and the charge was based on the speech, so what else was Mitch McConnell talking about. 

It is imperative that this distinction be made in order to remove any fog or cloud which may still be hovering around and blanketing the judgment of some people, including Mitch McConnell; that they may understand clearly that even if the indictment was brought timely during the currency of Trump's presidency which would have given jurisdiction to the Senate, the president would have still not been convicted because the speech contains no words which would amount to "incitement of insurrection." The one count impeachment charge was based on the speech and nothing more; so it is either there was provable words of incitement of insurrection therein or the president walks as he did walk. The speech was the only relevant evidence needed in the matter and it showed that the president did not utter any word during that speech that could be interpreted as an incitement. Whatever other past statements are irrelevant. 

It was one of the mistakes which President Donald John Trump made upon his inauguration not to have asked for Mitch McConnell to resign his leadership of the Senate Republicans alongside House Speaker Paul Ryan, to enable him start off with trusted leaders who are loyal to the president and whom the president would have relied on to accelerate his America First and Make America Great Again agendas. Such a new leadership would have worked better with the president in the overall general interest of implementing the Republican Party's agenda. The two men were never invested in MAGA project and were opposed to the president's emergence as presidential candidate of the party. This led to their lukewarm attitude to the president and made them stall the president's agenda which cost the bleeding in the party. 

That single mistake hounded Trump's presidency and the Republican Party agenda throughout the four years he was in the White House. Even as recently as the January 5th Georgia's Senate runoff election, Mitch McConnell refused to honor the president's request for the payment of $2000 COVID-19 relief and you now know why those hurting Georgians voted for the Democratic Party's candidates. How can a political player not understand what was at stake then and now Joe Biden will get the same relief for his base which Mitch McConnell prevented Trump from delivering to his base which would have otherwise influenced the Georgia runoff election outcome.

It is obvious that Mitch McConnell has lost touch with the Republican Party's base and is no longer interested in what is the best interest of the party. He possibly figured that at his old age and probably on his last term in the Senate that he no longer needs the Republican Party and so could do whatever he wants, aware that he will not suffer any repercussion. It is possible too that he is still mad at the president for supplanting his profile in the Republican Party and taking over the leadership of the party. It is also possible that he is mad at the president for referring to him as a swamp creature and wanted to introduce term limit in Congress in order to drain the swamp and get rid of people like Mitch McConnell, who have outlived their usefulness and no longer fighting for the party's core values; and have become inducted members of the establishment Deep State Washington DC swamp. It is also possible that Mitch McConnell, a certified member of the Deep State, was hellbent on getting rid of Trump for good, an agenda and had to smear him after they could not convict him. 

But where was Mitch's ire last year when several Democratic Party's members of the Congress were harassing President Trump, accused him of all manners of crimes including being a puppet of Vladimir Putin. When the Russia Collusion hoax was fever pitched which led to the Mueller's investigation and when they accused the president of organizing golden showers with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel, where was Mitch's anger. Where was Mitch McConnell when Eric Swalwell was sleeping with Chinese spy and possibly passing State secrets to her and Nancy Pelosi still kept him in the House's Security committee. Where was Mitch McConnell when the FBI was spying on President Trump and even withheld exculpatory evidence in the Russian Collusion malarkey. Where was Mitch when BLM and ANTIFA went on rampage last summer, protested him and his wife's dinner in a Kentucky restaurant, nosily picketed his home and even prevented Sarah Huckabee Sanders from eating her dinner and attacked Senator Ron Paul? 

But suddenly, here comes Mitch the Turtle firing on all cylinders of condemnation, not only attacking the president but also Georgia's Congresswoman Marjorie Greene and admonishing her on how not to be a conspiracy theorist. It was acceptable to Mitch when Democrats were conspiracy theorists with the Russian Collusion. He did not attack them or their leaders then but now choses to attack the Congresswoman and the president. May be he is angry that the president took his shine from the Republican Party or mad that he is part of the swamp dwellers that the president wanted to drain. But whatever it is, Mitch McConnell cannot be allowed to sink the Republican Party or take his pound of flesh from the president based on a non existent righteous indignation by selectively trying to punish the president for what he did not do. Mitch McConnell must therefore retreat his steps and become the leader who listens to the led, the majority of the Republican Party MAGA base; and not destroy the Republican Party on his way out. Enough of the bickering with the president, Mitch. End it or make way by moving away.

TWO LOSES TOO MANY.

ICHEOKU says what a two sucker punch to the stomach dealt the American right side in losing the White House and now the mega voice of conservatism in America. It is a huge blow regardless of how anyone wants to interpret or tailor their narrative as losing both pulpits gravely limits the reach and spread of the message for the right way for America. Such a double whammy within such a short period without sufficient time to recover from one before the other is indeed terribly saddening. Rest in peace Rush.

REST ON RUSH.

 ICHEOKU says he will be sorely missed as nobody was like him nor ever will be like him. He is simply irreplaceable. Rest on Guru Maharaja. Adieu Rush!

RUSH LIMBAUGH: DEAD AT 70 YEARS, ADIEU.

ICHEOKU says the man behind the golden microphone with half of his brain tied to his back just to make it fair and who more than 27 million listeners tuned in each day to hear what he was going to say next is no more. He succumbed to lung cancer affliction following a one year battle with the scourge to stay alive. He will be missed. Rush Limbaugh was fierce and fearless; and expressed his opinions without a care in the world nor apologetic about how anyone felt about what he said. He was many things to so many people but everyone agrees that he was extraordinarily gifted with the garb and he weaves it flawlessly and effortlessly. He held listeners spellbound and captivates his audiences who stay glued to their radio wondering what next will come out of his mouth. 

Many people who had issue with him and his radio program are mostly people who never found the time to listen through his program to understand where the gist of his show. He did his show  without malice, highlighting issues affecting the American society, especially conservative issues, with some panache and having fun doing it. ICHEOKU accidentally found his broadcast a decade ago and never missed a day since then and will surely miss the three hours daily engagement with the Guru Maharaja, whose talent was on loan from God and now he has gone to return the talent from where it came, back to God. 

Some people said he was a racist but his producer and second in command cum assistant is a black man Bo Snerdley. Some said he was homophobic but Elton John sang at his wedding and this was the same man who made a joke about his mother feeding on cat food. He was just an equal opportunity offender if his show could be considered offensive, but it was not. Only those who selectively edited and listened to sliver segments of it got mad. 

ICHEOKU recalls an incident when a fella called from the United Kingdom to confirm how to get Rush Limbaugh on the Internet. The guy had visited and on the way back to UK as we were driving to the airport, we tuned in to Rush Limbaugh's program and he was sold. He collected the information but apparently lost it and called back to get it. He later confessed that it was a very insightful program and was grateful to have been introduced to his show. 

Anyway, with his death, the show has definitely come to an end as nobody can in actuality fill his very huge shoes. Some guest-hosts who sub for him each time he was not available struggle through with pleasing an audience who still tuned in, aware that they are just there on a temporary gig as their Rush will come back later. But with the finality of his death, the pain is simply too much for them to bear and part of the moving on process will be to simply tune off as that voice and ingenuity are no more. 

Rush Limbaugh can never be duplicated or even closely imitated. Simply put, he was the show! What a season of despair it has been for the right side of American polity. President Trump lost the White House and now their mega mouthpiece, Rush Limbaugh, is gone. It is a double whammy, but life must go on. Mega Ditto goodbye to Rush Limbaugh for the many years of educating Americans in politics in his Rush Limbaugh tuition free political University where there was no graduation. Rest in peace Rush.

 

ICHEOKU SAYS IF THE NOVEMBER 3RD 2020 "RIGGED AND STOLEN" ELECTION IS A BIG LIE, THEN THE NOVEMBER 8TH 2016 "RUSSIAN COLLUSION" ELECTION MUST BE A FAT LIE. IT CANNOT BE A DIFFERENT CONCLUSION FOR ONE ELECTION RESULT AND A DIFFERENT CONCLUSION FOR ANOTHER. BOTH ARE LEGITIMATE DISPUTATIONS BY VOTERS OF TWO ELECTION OUTCOMES, PERIOD. #BeFair. 

CNN'S JOE BIDEN TOWN HALL IN MILWAUKEE: A FARCICAL HOLLOW SHOW.

ICHEOKU says reviewed the recorded video of the town hall meet to see if there is anything new or revealing. But there was really nothing weighty in it, although noticed that Joe Biden was not wearing his wedding band. He contradicted himself when he said that he will not tell his Justice Department what to do and how to run the department, but also said that he will make sure that they focus attention on white domestic extremism. He also said that there will be no defunding of the police and that there should be no jail term for drug use offenses, begging the question was it because of Hunter and will there soon be a signing of a Hunter Law? 

There were so many questions people expected the host and their audience to have asked but which were not asked. There were no questions on the rising global oil price which has seen increase in the pump price for gasoline in the country. There was no question about the jobs killing Keystone XL pipeline cancelation. There was no question on Iran's bombing in Irbil that killed an American military contractor and wounded an American soldier. There was no question on the unraveling situation in Yemen. There was no question on why he has not spoken with Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu and the King of Saudi Arabia and whether American embassy in Jerusalem will remain or be moved back to Tel Aviv? There was no question on Russia and Vladimir Putin's continuous detention of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. There was no question on Myanmar military coup and their continuous detention of Aung Su Kyi. 

There was no question on the worsening economic situation in the country and what he will do to create immediate jobs or at least to stop killing already existing ones through brash executive orders. There was no question on the bombings going off in Afghanistan and of course other global issues currently afoot. There was no mention of the nearly more than half of the country population currently freezing over, especially in Texas; and whether he has called the governor to sympathize with him and whether he will send federal assistance where needed. With the unprecedented freezing and ice, is it still a good argument to continue the narrative that there is climate change and whether global warming is still a reality? 

On issue of refugees, he said that America will keep its doors open for more and more refugees and you wonder if it is not about time America changed her focus to proactively fixing the issues that lead to these refugees, by preventing the crisis from developing instead of later opening its doors for the refugees to troop into America. For example there is restiveness currently brewing in Nigeria Africa between the various ethnic and religious groups that populate the country. One would expect America to intervene now and try to resolve the identified problems stirring the crisis, including the desire of some nationalities therein to become independent nations or truly federated units indeed. This will be a better approach, to nip the crisis in the bud before it blows up, leading to millions of more refugees needing to be sheltered in America. 

Anyway, was not expecting anything fantastic from the fake news headquarters of American media but it once again showed how their disinformation and cover up will not help America moving forward. All the issues needing answers and which are disturbing to American people were not raised, except for the coronavirus, which only produced the same rehash. It is also debatable whether he got the questions ahead of time and whether those questioners merely read prepared questions handed to them by the moderator. With the hindsight of Donna Brasile leaking debate questions to Hillary Clinton ahead of time during the 2016 democratic primary with Bernie Sanders and what the girl in Kenosha complained about being given question to ask then campaigning Joe Biden, who knows how this whole town hall exercise was stitched together. But hey, we are watching.

AWAY WITH LIZ CHENEY.

WYOMING CONGRESSWOMAN LIZ CHENEY OR PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP, WHO IS IT GONNA BE? REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP IN WASHINGTON DC MUST CHOOSE A SIDE AS TWO CAPTAINS DO NOT SAIL A SHIP. HER CONTINUOUS MEMBERSHIP OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS UNACCEPTABLE TO MAGA NATION. #AwayWithLizCheney.
