719,933 COVID-19 DEATHS IN AMERICA: WHY IS THE VIRUS MORE VIRULENT IN AMERICA?
ICHEOKU says coronavirus death toll in America has crossed 700,000 and speedily inching close to one million. Thousands more are still dying from the scourge in America today when nearly the rest of the world have moved on from the virus and back to living their normal, pre coronavirus, life. It is equally noteworthy that none of these other countries suffered as many loss of lives as America suffered and still suffering; and despite vaccinations, many people are still dying from the coronavirus in America. So, what went wrong with America's handling of the coronavirus and why is America still being pummeled by it? Why is the death toll in America far more worse than it is in the rest of the countries, including the reputedly, country of origin and purveyor of the coronavirus, China.
Why, despite the fabled medical and technological sciences advancement of America were so many American people still lost and are still being lost to the coronavirus disease. What exactly went wrong in America's healthcare system that brought about such a gory outcome. Why did more American people die from the coronavirus than any other people on the face of earth including in less developed countries. Is it possible that Americans were infected with a different strand of the coronavirus than the type which the rest of the world were infected with? Is it possible too that the infection rate and mortality had to do with our body type and the food we eat or our lifestyle? What caused the very high mortality and why did more Americans die and still dying because of the virus.
Could it be that our medical and hospital management is afterall not the best or as efficient as they are hyped to be; or simply that medical staff got overwhelmed by the number of the dying that they became numb to death and in the process to get it over with, no longer cared much about who lived or died. Did business considerations come into play in the thinking of how to manage the pandemic that infected people did not receive optimal care, leading to their deaths. Did such profit over care consideration impact the quality of care that were being administered that it led to such a high number of fatalities. Why did what worked in other countries not work in America, in regards to prevention and care that kept their death rates very low?
It is a very difficult thing to process, the fact that more people died from the coronavirus pandemic in America and are still dying from it than in any other country, especially for a country that prides itself as supposedly the premier country on earth. Not even third world countries fared this bad and no other advanced country suffered a fate close to what America found itself with and still going through with. America is the third most populous country in the world yet it suffered more coronavirus deaths than the first and second most populous countries, China and India, put together. So, why the wide disparity or is there something peculiar in our DNA that made us to be more susceptible to the disease than the rest of the world.
It is not enough to mention that over seven hundred Americans have died so far or just to mourn and pray for them; there is a need to investigate the medical anomaly which manifests in this huge numbers and unravel the mystery behind it. It is inexplicable that this many Americans succumbed to the virus and so many people in America as well as the rest of the world similarly share in this concern, wondering why the almighty America could not arrest the scourge and prevent its people from being deleted by it in so large numbers. The country of can do where nothing is impossible eventually found itself on bended knees, being clobbered by the coronavirus when the rest of the world did not suffer nearly the same level of fatalities.
Something does not feel right about the high death toll and needs a digging deep into, to find out why. Not even the change of presidents effected anything with 319,933 deaths since President Joe Biden took office. To the dead and dying, may the good Lord give them rest. To those afflicted and suffering, we decree speedy recovery on them. To the unvaccinated, please get your shots and help in your little way to help keep the scourge under control. As we continue to explore what possibly went wrong that cost this many lives, 719,933 Americans dead; and how to keep everybody safe and alive, pharmaceutical companies should double their effort at finding a permanent panacea for the virus, either a vaccine or a drug that actually works, which will finally put an end to the scourge. It is sad.

ONLY WOMEN GET PREGNANT AND GIVE BIRTH, PERIOD.
ICHEOKU says the assault on womanhood is continuing with the rancid woke left idiocy that "anybody" or "people" can get pregnant. This thinking is very demeaning and degrading to the labor of love which women give freely in making babies, the reason the world is still populated with human beings. Without that special and unique ability, humanity as we know it would have since petered to an end. Therefore it is incumbent on us, especially males, to always recognize this inviolable imperative and learn to treat women better, more respectfully and more fairly, aware that they are the "Gods" of creation which we can actually see and feel, and whose finished work that take them nine months to perfect we can in fact behold as babies.
For anyone to say or suggest that "anybody" can get pregnant is indeed insulting to general sensibilities as it is belittling of this great and awesome wonderful labor of love which only women give. It is particularly offensive when those who do not know exactly what women go through in bringing new lives into this world, a journey which have cost millions of them their lives, but which have not deterred them from continuously embarking on, mouth off such silliness. Carrying a baby for nine long months, the discomfort, the sickness, the sleeplessness, the kicks, the nausea, the anxiety, the bloated body and general malaise, topped off by agonizing labor pain and the near death experience of delivery, should under no circumstances, be diminished or toyed with because it is not a joke nor a laughing matter.
Anyone involved in lessening the gravity of child bearing by dismissing it as an all comer's game needs to have their head examined. The men and some very strange feminists females propagating this notion that pregnancy is not a big deal, such that "anybody" can get pregnant, sound like brain-dead imbeciles who are unashamed of distorting a fact of great consequence. Real women, especially those who have been through the experience, should not allow these men and the distorted women, who have never experienced child bearing and delivery, to understand what the pangs of childbirth really feels like, to continue to demean pregnancy or even the broader womanhood. Both are near sacred as they involve the bringing of human beings into this world. A glorifying thing of immense joy.
This unique ability of women calls for their celebration, show of optimal respect and being sanctified as the only human beings capable of multiplying by pulling off such feat. It is outrageous to disparage pregnancy as an "anybody" affair or derisively dismiss it as as "people" can get pregnant. No, people do not get pregnant, only women do; and although women are people, but they are of a special breed. The beauty of pregnancy and its special place is such that not even all women are capable of getting pregnant and/or carrying babies to full term. Pregnancy is a special blessing from God as only those women who are optimally blessed with the capacity and ability, can in fact, actually get pregnant and/or carry babies to term.
It is therefore about time women rose up and demand an end to the put down of such onerous responsibility which they undertake selflessly, without question. Women should be appreciated and acknowledged more for all the sacrifices involved in birthing babies and possibly too, should be even paid to have babies. But whatever happens, the idiotic and imbecilic narrative and thinking that "anybody" can get pregnant must not be allowed to take root. The attempt to denigrate or diminish or dismiss the hell which women go through to bring children into this world should be condemned by every right thinking person because it is one heck of a big deal to make the journey, especially as repeatedly as millions of women do. Enough of the disparagement; lets celebrate pregnancy and also celebrate women who make it happen.

NATIONAL WOMEN SOCCER LEAGUE SEX SCANDAL: NOT SURPRISED BUT AVOIDABLE.
ICHEOKU says following the US Gymnastics scandal which sent Dr Larry Nasser to prison, one would have expected the separation of the wolves from the sheeps in order to guard against any such future scandal. But apparently, such preventive, proactive measure was not put in place, hence the latest scandal engulfing the National Women Soccer League.
The solution is simple, since there is no crystal ball for knowing who is a potential sexual abuser, all women sports, including women soccer, should be left entirely for women alone. All women's sports should be solely women's affair, left for women coaches, women administrators and women managers, and that way, put an end to the regularly occurring unwanted sexual harassments of sportswomen by their male handlers. This is not to suggest that lesbian and transgendered females do not sexually harass women or are incapable of sexually harassing women, but it is not as much as full bloodied males who are always drunk on testosterone and like bulls in musk, frequently seeking drainage.
Although it is going to be difficult to accomplish such a gender only exclusivity in women's sports, because there are not enough women manpower (woman-power) to fill all the necessary positions, but it is worth making the effort. More women should be recruited into sports academies to train for these positions in order to have this problem permanently fixed. Some men, if not most of them, can hardly look the other way when constantly surrounded by a beehive of young healthy bodies. A matter made even worse when they have some form of authority over the women and are easily tempted to venture unto the forbidden terrain or in some cases, even demand a quid pro quo sexual favors for being selected to play or participate in the teams regularly.
It is an authority thing, meant to control the women and have them subjugated to satisfying their libidinous desires. The sports world is just like any other work place, admitted every work places have not been cleared of all men; but the sports world is somewhat different because there are very few limited spaces available for participants, thus making the competition very rife. It is this scarcity and the desire to fill them that these abusers are exploiting to gain undue advantage over these women, using "play to play" as a weapon of choice. It is not right nor justifiably excusable under any circumstances and all measures should be explored that would permanently put an end to it. There are also many victims who are currently dying in silence due to the shame of coming out, not being believed or fear of possible retaliatory loss of place and position in the team.
For any one creep caught, there are many others who have not been caught as well as those who are just about to get started. The problem is prevalent and enduring within the league, which made Purple-hair fella, Megan Rapione to lash out, saying "Burn it all down, let all of their heads roll" while reacting to the news of fired Washington Spirit's head coach Richie Burke and North Carolina Courage's head coach Paul Riley. Also that the League's Commissioner Lisa Baird quickly threw in her resignation equally shows that she knew about it but failed to do something about it, which has now added more combustible materials to the eruptions in the League. A serious, across the board investigation and real solutions are needed right now to, as Megan rightly put it, protect the right person/s.
The National Women Soccer League can achieve this by becoming more proactive in dealing with this problem, instead of mitigating resultant damages. It also does not matter that some people are attacking womanhood in our world today and trying to invent an utopian genderless society where males and females are blended into just persons or people. It also does not matter or should not matter that some women claim that they feel and believe that they are men and vice versa. But when an issue as horrible as the present rises, everyone should band together to admit the biological fact of the indisputable distinction between the sexes. We should therefore put aside all the woke political correctness divisions and together, find a permanent solution to a pervasive problem by letting women do their thing, coach and manage their women leagues. #EndTheScandal.

BRITNEY SPEARS: A HUGE MISTAKE JETTISONING HER FATHER.
ICHEOKU says her enablers, glorified vultures, who are only interested in the carrion and not in what is her best interest engineered the outcome. Now the singer has been completely severed from her father's supervision and with that, once again become vulnerable. Where were these hangers-on when she nearly lost it all, including her center of equilibrium resulting in that horrific shaving of her hair. They were no place to be found when she was on the precipice about to end it and needed all the help she could get. Her family took it upon themselves to rescue her and labored tirelessly until they salvaged their daughter from self destruct. After 13 years of maintaining her on the narrow straight and right path, these destroyers of the fame and famous, have come back to "liberate" their Britney so that she can once again become their cash cow and they will milk her until her udders all come off.
It does not matter what anyone says about her father or the manner of discipline he imposed on his daughter, the fact remains that he did whatever he did to save Britney and Britney was saved. If there is ever one case where the end justified the means, the rehabilitation of Britney Spears is one such case. It showed that no one can ever love a child more than their parents and for a girl, the always abiding love between dad and daddy's girl, endured in Britney's case. She was loved by her daddy who went far and beyond to show that by doing whatever it took to rehabilitate her almost lost daughter. No stranger can show that amount of care and love and not the new conservator appointed by the judge to replace Mr Jamie Spears.
Mr Spears loves his daughter and protected her from the jackals prowling around for a chunk to bite off her. Unfortunately, instead of showing appreciation to her daddy, Britney went with the flow of her praise singers and pushed the man who saved her aside and dove headlong back into the restless scavengers growling for her fortune. Their well orchestrated plan to isolate Britney from her family so that they can continue the frenzy-feeding off her have succeeded as the court has ordered Mr Spears' suspension as her conservator. These jackals will do whatever it takes to keep her gushing up her fortune, including supplying her with drugs of her choice and other cravings to impact her clarity of decision making. They will put her back on the speed lane of the highway to hell and the crash this time, will be very unforgiving.
Before you even start, ICHEOKU will like to stop you right away by saying, please spare ICHEOKU the apologies that it is her money, she is an adult and should be free to live her life as she sees fit. Where is Michael Jackson today or was it not his money, was he not an adult and was he not free and lived his life as he saw fit? How about Whitney Houston, the popular crack is whack theorist? It was her money, she was an adult and she lived her life freely as she saw fit. The list of such unfortunate incidents is long, of adults who were not saved by intervention but were left to live their lives as they saw fit because it was their money and they were adults, so nobody told them how to live their lives.
ICHEOKU is emphatic that Britney Spears would since become history but for the intervention of her family which stood by her and pulled her out of the jaws of certain death. She was at door and knocking frantically to be let in but was lucky her family rushed in, grabbed her and took her back home before Madam Death could get off the couch to open the door for her. So all those pretenders rallying for Britney Spears to "get her life back" should refresh themselves and reflect on the events that led to Britney Spear being denied and not having her life in the first place. Something led to it, it is called intervention and it is the reason Britney Spears is still alive till this day.
If Brittany had not shown the propensity to spiral down into scary situation in the past, may be nobody would have intervened in her life. But for someone who literally grew up before our eyes, and who we watched strutting the runway of self ruination before her parents intervened and saved her from an assured self destruct, she rightly earned to be placed under conservatorship. Whether the conservatorship is still necessary depends on whether Britney Spears has metamorphosed into somebody other than the one placed under conservatorship. Hopefully the judge reviewed all the evidence before arriving at her conclusion that Mr Spears be suspended as her conservator; and by appointing a new conservator shows that the judge is equally doubtful that Britney has reinvented herself.
Is it possible that she could have changed? Is it possible that she is now a fully grown woman who has put her acts together and now knows what is best for her? Is it possible that the Britany Spear 2.0 is and will be different from the Britany Spear 1.0 who shaved off her hair on national television? Everything is possible, but to completely sever all ties with her father, the man who salvaged her, is not the best foot to put forward. She should have began her quest for complete freedom quest by co-managing her affairs as equal partner with her father and then evolve accordingly, until such a future time that she becomes more comfortable and fully ready to assume the control of the driving wheels without any need for further supervision.
She complained about not being allowed to have children and marrying; but she already have two children with and was once married to Kevin Federline. Everyone knows how that married worked out and ended with so much being paid to the gold digging baby daddy. So why tempt fate again with another fella who is likely another Federline, just patiently waiting to also strike at her pot of gold at the right time. She could easily proceed in the Oprah Winfrey lane and style any future relationship like Oprah has with Mr Steadman; and try and enjoy the rest of her life with only a companion, without fear of community property trouble or another alimony or spousal support in the future. Prenup won't even be that helpful as some good lawyers sometimes find a way of circumventing it to take more than is stipulated.
Anyway, the court has given the green light and how she decides to navigate the boat forward is now strictly her decision. ICHEOKU wishes her well and pray that everything works out well for her; and that people will not take too much advantage of her and ride her like a pony until she falls apart. No one deserves to go through life constantly under supervision, but her situation warranted it. She now owes it to the people who supported her through the ordeal to prove to them that she has turned the corner, that she is now a new leaf, a competent person who is ready and able to manage her affairs without a need for her father's supervision. She should not confirm the fears in some quarters that nothing has changed and should live up to the expectation of the judge who ruled that she no longer needs her father's guidance as she will soon be freed of all supervision and take her life fully back. Goodluck Britney.

MANNY PACQUIAO HANGS UP HIS BOXING GLOVES: WILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2022.
"To the greatest fans and the greatest sport in the world, thank you! Thank you for all the wonderful memories. This is the hardest decision I've ever made, but I'm at peace with it. Chase your dreams, work hard, and watch what happens. Goodbye boxing. To the boxing fans all over the world, thank you very much. Thank you for always praying for me and watching my fights through the years. I would like to thank the whole world, especially the Filipino people, for supporting Manny Pacquiao. Goodbye boxing. It is difficult for me to accept that my time as a boxer is over. Today, I am announcing my retirement." - Manny Pacquiao.
ICHEOKU says with those words, he signed off from the ring and gloves, and will now squarely dedicate himself to politics. He gave it his all and he had much to show for it. He dared dream of greatness and was handsomely rewarded. A storied 26-years boxing career that saw him battle 72-fights, winning 62, lost 8 and drew 2. It is also instructive that 39 of his wins were by knockouts. He won 12 world titles and is the only fighter in history to win titles in eight different weight classes. He is currently a Senator, elected since 2016; and has announced his candidacy for president to succeed current President Duterte Rodrigo in 2022.
Coming from nothing in his rural Philippines's country side to what he eventually became, a global personality with immerse fame and fortune, is an exact definition of rising "from grass to grace" and he achieved it all through sheer determination to succeed and will to become great. Hopefully he will win the presidential election in 2022 as a crowning glory to his boxing and political exploits; and further motivate millions more around the world, particularly those in Philippines, who will see in him that only you can stop yourself from becoming whatever you want to be.
It would have been better had he ended his boxing career with a win rather than a loss to Yordenis Ugas, who now is forever etched in history as the last boxer who Manny Pacquiao fought in his boxing career and who also joins the only ten people to ever defeat Manny Pacquiao. Manny himself would have loved to have ended on such a high note but he did not write the script of his life and can only accept what destiny wrote for him, including how his boxing career would end, by losing his last fight. But all is well that ends well as he dropped his gloves without suffering any major career ending injury and retired on his own terms. May God be praised for blessing him so abundantly.
ICHEOKU says Manny Pacquiao is right when he said that he will never forget what he accomplished in his life, and neither will his fans and the general world of boxing as well as the political class in the Philippines forget. So long Peoples Champ, Mr Pacman and National Fist of Philippines as he plunges headlong into becoming the next president of the Philippines. At 42 years old, he still have a lot of years ahead of him to do whatever his heart desires including become president and help make the Philippines great again. All the best with succeeding President Duterte Rodrigo as the next Philippines' president in 2022. President Manny Pacquiao definitely sounds good to ICHEOKU and also millions of Philippines people. God speed, Pacman!

GENERAL MARK MILLEY FAILED TO LIFT THE PALL OF TRAITOR AND INSUBORDINATION.
ICHEOKU says although Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs General Mark Milley has testified as to what he thinks was his recollections about obvious misconducts including the Afghanistan botched withdrawal and the secret phone call to China, but are they truly reflective of his actions, the reason the calls for his resignation or for him to be fired is not abating but still resonating. There are so many issues which are still left un-clarified from his appearance before the Senate Armed Services Committee, and until satisfactorily, fully and exhaustively explained, will continue to haunt him and question his candor, credibility and fitness to remain in office as Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs.
If the Chairman as he claims maintains absolute loyalty to the United States, why did he stretch his telephone conversation with China after assuring them that America will not attack them, to include that he will give them a heads-up and tip them off should any such order ever be issued by the president? This further assurance is where his cookie crumbled as such defeats the element of surprise in warfares and will also allow China to lie in wait for American troops and massacre them at sight. Giving China a prior information about an impending attack will have China raise its defenses, land, air and sea, thus exposing incursions by the United States Navy, Air-force and the Army to Chinese destructive measures.
So, he reviewed intelligence that suggested that Chinese officials were worried that the United States was planning an attack because of exercises in the South China Sea. But even if it was not true, was it not better that China was kept worrying and not knowing what was going on in America's president's mind, and that way they would be forced to moderate their hostile maritime actions in the South China Sea, since they don't know how America might react. But he not only deflated that element of an enemy not knowing what its adversary is thinking, but also took further step to inform them that he will tip them off in the event any attack was ordered.
He served the United States for 43 years, but is he still the same person he once was and is he still serving with the same candor as he did the past 42 years? Is he still as loyal and committed to the United States as he then was, and still maintains his lane of authority; or has his high office gotten into his head that he began to think that he can sabotage a sitting United States president? He said that he is trying hard to keep the military out of politics, but celebrated Joe Biden's election win, which made many people wonder if he possibly participated in the shenanigans that led to the election result. Why would apolitical Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs, who is trying to keep politics out of the military, care about who is elected the president?
Why was he delighted that President Donald John Trump was not reelected to a second term if he indeed is not political, and did not have a dog in the fight on November 3rd, 2020? If he knew for certain that President Trump did not intend to attack China, why did he initiate the conversation and not let Chinese officials call to make the inquiry or confirm their fears before he can then assure them that everything is under control. Would what he did not be interpreted by the Chinese as America being afraid of them and seeking ways to avoid a conflict with the Peoples Liberation Army? It would have been better had the Chinese called the Chairman regarding their "intelligence" on a possible attack by America and then the assurance. We are not going to attack you, did they say you were going to attack them?
As if that was not enough, he took a call from Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is not his Commander in Chief, without referring the acute partisan politician to the chain of command, which should be the Secretary of Defense, for any information which she seeks from the Pentagon. That the speaker has the power of the purse over the Defense Department does not mean that she also has direct power over the military business aspects of the Pentagon. Why did the speaker not broach her fears about President Trump's mental equilibrium with the Secretary of Defense or better still from the White House doctor, instead of thrusting herself directly into the Pentagon and making an inquiry which was not her place to make.
The ability to launch nuclear weapons resides exclusively with the president, which the speaker has no business meddling in and the Chairman should have told her this immediately and ended the conversation. But no, he went on to assure her that nuclear launch is governed by a very specific and deliberate process as if the Nancy Pelosi did not already know these but was merely looking for informations with which to continue her propaganda that President Trump is a whacko doodle. Both of them were busy gossiping about the president and questioning his capacity to, not only continue to function as president but to exercise his inalienable authority as Commander in Chief with powers over nuclear weapons launch.
Various personal references characterizing then President Trump were made by the Speaker, to which the Chairman must have likely concurred and most probably given his own pieces of opinion too. How could there ever be an "illegal, unauthorized or accidental launch" of nuclear weapons with all the protocols put in place safeguarding such? His duty is to execute as commanded, but he inserted himself in the process of command, and discussed his Commander in Chief's mental capacity with a highly charged partisan Speaker of the House of Representatives, who never allowed any day to go by without attacking and disparaging the then president of the United States of America.
Why did the Chairman not figure out that the Speaker's intention was highly partisan and why did he later inform the Secretary of Defense after the fact and not before it, by directing the Speaker to channel her inquiries to the Secretary of Defense, the real supervisory authority at the Pentagon and by constitution, the liaison officer between the political wing and the military. ICHEOKU is emphatic that the Chairman actively attempted to change and influence the process, usurped authority and inserted himself into the chain of command. All he would have done was tell Madam Speaker that telephoning him was out of order, but he gleefully took the call to curry her favor.
Further, if the Afghanistan withdrawal was a logistical success, why did we lose 13 service men and women? Why the chaos witnessed which forever tarnished the image of America as incompetent and incapable of executing a simple task of withdrawing its troops as demanded by the Taliban. Better still, could it be that a military which did not want to withdraw from Afghanistan as commanded by the president, chose to sabotage the mission by making it look ugly and tardy just to make their point and smear the withdrawal. What exactly led to the sore sight witnessed at Kabul, both at the airport and in the city, with difficulties in getting to the airport. Only a commission of inquiry would unravel the answers, but will the Congress summon the courage to so do?
According to him, “My oath is to support the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and I will never turn my back on the oath. I firmly believe in civilian control of the military as a bedrock principle essential to this republic and I am committed to ensuring the military stays clear of domestic politics.” But it should be qualified as a case of trust but first verify, everything that happened considered. Why did he think he needed to talk to Bob Woodward and Robert Costa over a book aptly titled Peril which is turning out to be very perilous to him; and to spill the much he did or allowed to be spilled. Is he planning a post active duty gig and actively seeking Hollywood embrace?
Although President Joe Biden has said that he has full confidence in the Chairman, which was obviously partisan driven because it was President Donald John Trump that was impacted. But the president should act in the interest of the office of the president in order to safeguard the office from rogue generals who might think that they know better than their political leadership to circumvent a president. President Joe Biden should fire Chairman Mark Milley because what he did was to the office of the president and commander in chief, and it is a disgraceful and unprecedented act of insubordination. Allowing him to remain is setting a bad precedent and if it is President Trump now, it might be President Biden or some other president in the future with another rogue general. It is even a shame that he has not resigned on his own accord. It is sad.

R. KELLY CONVICTED: TOOK DOWN BY HIS OWN KIND, BLACK'S #METOO MOVEMENT.
ICHEOKU says whether he was not as lucky or Attorney Deveraux Cannick was no Johnnie Cochran and could not pull him out of the jaws of the law and justice. But it is debatable if OJ Simpson would have been as exceptionally lucky to walk free had his case come up in this day of crazy #MeToo movement gone wild. The pressure which they mount on the justice system and society in general, to get hard on whoever they point their accusatory finger at, in demand of justice for alleged past sexual offenses, usually makes it difficult, if not impossible, for any defense lawyer to be successful at mounting an effective defense for a client, the accused.
Robert Sylvester Kelly has now been devoured by his own kind as the same black women who queued up to hear him sing, who sought favors from him and in some cases even threw themselves at him have now turned around to nail him, using their own version of #MeToo movement called #MuteRKelly as a weapon. They were insistent, they were vociferous, they shouted and screamed on top of their lungs, protested and boycotted his music until they put him at the crosshairs and microscope of the Feds, sexual predator who needs to be investigated. Today their effort has paid off as R Kelly stands convicted of the sexual crimes which these black women alleged, and he is now a pervert and sexual predator who preyed on minors as well as other people who he took advantage of.
Urinating on anyone, regardless of their age and even sex, is abhor-able and offends every sensibilities of decent behavior. R Kelly went too far in some of the allegations and accusations for which he has now been convicted and will remain a sexual predator for the rest of his natural life. His activities was characterized as a "mafia-style" enterprise which he used to systematically abuse women and young girls, four of which were minors at their first sexual encounter. He was described as a sexual predator who used his inner circle to ensnare underage girls and young men and women for decades, in a sordid web of sex abuse, exploitation and humiliation.
But if as his lawyer claimed the government cherry picked the evidence to suit their narrative, was it not his duty as a defense lawyer to dismantle them? What was he doing when these supposedly cherry picked evidence were being fed to the jury? Why did he wait until after his client was convicted and facing serious time in prison to make such allegation. Was he expecting the government not to try and secure conviction or did R Kelly hire him for mere observation, only to later come out to say what he said. Why did he not share what he saw in "terms of discovery" with the jury? Why did he not point all the inconsistencies to the jury when it would have mattered and made some difference?
Anyway, why did R Kelly not rehire the same lawyers who helped him beat the previous child pornography charges over a decade ago in Illinois? Hopefully his team have now learnt their lesson in the harshest way and will seek out Bill Cosby's appellate lawyers to help pursue his appeal and see if they can possible wriggle out of the verdict and at worst get a retrial or a reduced term. Pregnant wife killer Scott Patterson got his death sentence reduced to life term, so anything is possible when a good lawyer is in charge of and/or involved in a case. Who is even this Deveraux Cannick and what defense record does he parade that made him the choice attorney to take this case. Since Johnie Cochran is no more, why not Thomas Arthur Mesereau or Mark Geragos.
May and October relationship was not the issue because so many men often marry much younger women including Harrison Ford whose wife Calista Flockhart is nearly as young as his granddaughter would be, with 22 years age difference. Texas oil mogul J Howard Marshall married Anna Nicole Smith when he was 89 years old and Anna was only 26 years old. And of course Mr Playboy Hugh Hefner never dated any girl above 25 years and he died at 91 years old still sexually active. But R Kelly was not charged nor convicted of dating women he was twenty years older than, he was charged and convicted for crimes of predatory sex with minors, among other crimes.
ICHEOKU says R Kelly's conviction is a strong lesson to other celebrities to be very careful not to use their fame and fortune to prey on young and vulnerable girls for their sexual gratification, as their victims might someday decide to rat them out and seek justice. Everything which R Kelly had worked for has now come to an end as he is forever tarnished, branded as a sexual predator. A stigma which he will carry to his grave that even if he survives prison, where such predators are regularly preyed on themselves, he will find it difficult to reposition himself post incarceration. It is sad what karma throws at people that R Kelly, who never foresaw this coming when he was on top of the world and having his way however pleased him, has now been met with such a rebuke.
It was one heck of a coincidence that one of the witness fell unconscious and "miraculously" woke up at the exact time R Kelly was adjusting his pants, and then reached a conclusion that he had his way with her. As for wanting his girls to dress in a particular manner with their hair put in pony tail or as girls scout, ICHEOKU has nothing against that since he wanted what is pleasing to his eyes and paid for it, admitted the girls should have had the option to opt out and walk away and not be compelled to live and look as R Kelly pleases. He paid to have them look as he wants and a buyer most times have the upper hand in such bargains.
Robert Sylvester Kelly believes he can fly but did not know that he will some day be flying into prison for a long time; convicted on nine counts charges including racketeering based on sexual exploitation of children, bribery, sexual trafficking, kidnapping, forced labor, and violations of the Mann Act which bars the transportation of people across state lines for sex. Provided he was correctly convicted, based on proven evidence, he met the fate which he richly deserves and everybody should be happy that finally a sexual predator has been removed from the society. May the victims now begin to heal. It is sad that another black mega star ended his storied career and possibly life in this sordid manner. It is often either drug overdose or scandal and R Kelly choose the later. What a tragedy.

BBC's YOUNG PRAY MORE SURVEY: WEST GONE WITH THE WIND OF WOKE CULTURE.
ICHEOKU says a recent news beat on BBC reported a survey which found that young people in the United Kingdom now pray more than their adult counterparts. But the real story is that only Muslims and Hindus were showcased and probably the only ones interviewed for the survey, but not young Christians, most likely in continuation of the war against God and Christianity. It is an inexplicable and incomprehensible absurdity that either BBC and/or the conductor of the survey, in their infinite wisdom, decided on such dichotomy and that only the two religions are worthy of their survey, but not the traditionally Western-centric Christianity.
Christianity is the bedrock of the Western civilization but it is gradually being relegated to the background and to some extent nearly completely banished from our lives, that it is steadily being treated as a nuisance, disturbance and distraction to the Woke agenda plaguing Western countries. In its place, Islam and other religions are quickly filling the void and with active help of Western media and their talking heads, which are bent on perverting the society with their anti Christianity messaging. They are also heavily invested in teaching behaviors which are anti Christianity in their effort to further dilute Christianity's moral authority and weaken it.
It is not only in the United Kingdom that this assault on Christianity is going on but throughout the Western world including the United States of America, where being a Christian is now considered and lumped together as "white supremacy". Everything the Bible frowns at is being shamelessly celebrated and everything the Bible teaches is being challenged, including creation. They even sometimes claim that Bible is anti science and that the believe in a higher being is simplistic and moronic, to say the least. They are doing whatever they can to ensure that Christianity is diminished to such extent that people become ashamed of identifying as Christians.
So, British Broadcasting Corporation and whoever conducted the survey did not and couldn't find young Christians to also ask in the survey if they too are also praying more than their Christian adults counterparts? Possibly, they were afraid of finding young Westerners who they have since brainwashed into abandoning the Christian faith, and made a calculated decision not to embarrass themselves or skew the outcome of their already predetermined survey slant. They wanted a story in that line and they went for the lowest handing fruits that will give them what they desired.
It is the game they play, set up a declared story and then find the target people to fill in the blanks. They wanted a story that conveys a message that the coronavirus pandemic made people so afraid that they embraced prayers more, clinging unto it to find solace in an otherwise pandemic distorted and disorientated world. But unfortunately, their idea of "young people who now pray more than adults" did not include young Christian Westerners, as it is apparent that only Muslims and Hindus qualified for their survey.
One of the Muslim girl surveyed said that her faith means stability for her as it is the only thing that she knows that is stable and clear. According to her, every time she watches television news, there is always something negative going on and she feels that it is only in her prayers that she have clarity. Further, that she knows that religion is a guaranteed, stabilizing thing in life and she uses it to find some grounding and solace. In fact she said that her faith is her anchor in life, the reason she prays without ceasing.
So, does it mean that her Christian Western counterparts do not agree with her or is it the reason there is a lot of social upheaval and disorder in the West, with a lot of drug and alcohol use, anger, suicides and bloody violence? Are Christian Western young people so far removed from God and prayers that they have become despondent and in their devastated state of self help, have become hopeless that they are seeking answers to many questions without finding them and resorting to self destruct as a means to an end.
Being anchor-less and left adrift in the ocean of confusion without God and prayers, is this why they cannot find solace in alcohol and drugs, leading to rising suicides and gun and knife violence. Is it time we seek God in his full glory and ask Him to come back and take control of our lives and save us from our helplessness and hopelessness, since we cannot do much by only the strength of our sinews. Could this possibly be why other religions adherents seem to have all the answers, the reason there is less suicides, drug use and gun and knife violence among them.
Our media must help us get a handle on the steadily eroding and imploding Western civilization. They must stop the incessant attacks on God, Christianity, principles and teachings of the Bible which have helped sustain Western civilization for as long as it have lasted. For example, supplanting Sodom and Gomorrah with open homosexuality or creation with evolutionary nonsensical are attacks on the root of Christianity which has eroded faith in Christianity, admitted Catholic priests molestations of alter boys did not help matters. BBC should have made their survey more comprehensive and even if young Christians said otherwise, they would have still included them in the report for an all balanced outcome.
They did not interview them and it telegraphed a message that either they could not find young Christians to interview or Christianity no longer matters in the Western world and have now been replaced by Islam and Hinduism. It is ominous because once the strong pedestal upon which Western civilization was founded is eroded completely, the civilization will collapse. Religion, language and culture are the bedrock of any society and to a large extent a civilization; but Western media is steadily chipping away at this foundation and filling it up with values which were hitherto considered and seen as alien.
There is nothing that is exclusive any more in the Western world, a matter made worse because other civilizations are not exposing themselves to these incursions. What will happen the day these alien values completely submerges Western values that they replaced them. The down fall of the Western civilization will not come through a military defeat, but it is gradually picking up steam in the form of metastasizing divergent cultures, religions and languages. These erosions might someday progress to a situation where the falcon cannot hear the falconer and the center cannot hold, as mere anarchy descends upon the earth. What we our fate be.
It is not too late to start steering the ship off the trajectory it is barreling, towards the iceberg. No one is saying not to allow others to thrive, but ours must not be allowed to die. Our young people should be encouraged and taught the values which have carried us through this far, including the believe in God and Christianity. They should not be isolated and left out in surveys about young people praying more than adults because Christianity is a religion and Christians pray and we have young Christians as well. Out young Christians are part of the young people of the world, especially in the United Kingdom where they were the subject of the survey. If we do not protect our own, nobody will do it for us. BBC, it is a shame.
RYDER CUP BACK IN THE USA: CONGRATULATIONS.
ICHEOKU says an all male and all whites team wins Golf's Ryder Cup for the United States of America. When will Black Lives Matter and those far left feminists trouble makers take to the street in protest of lack of equity and the need for the team to in fact truly reflect their America? America can be better when the Woke culture which is wrecking havoc in the society is brought to an end; and let Americans be Americans. Congratulations Team USA.

ANTHONY JOSHUA DETHRONED: HANDED A BROKEN EYE SOCKET AS A PARTING GIFT.
ICHEOKU says he reigned as WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion for some years until Ukrainian boxing great, Oleksandr Usyk, said not anymore by defeating him in a twelve rounds championship fight which the three judges scored all for the new champion, 117-112, 116-112 and 115-113. It was predicted by many boxing analysts that Oleksandr Usyk will not be an easy walkover for Anthony Joshua and although Anthony Joshua gave it his all, but his best wasn't good enough to retain his high perch on the heavyweight boxing pedestal.
Dethroned, Anthony Joshua will now remain a former heavyweight boxing champion until he is regains his composure and reclaim the lost titles. With the defeat, has also now gone his planned bout with Tyson Fury, who most likely would have also defeated him. It was a good fight anyway, both men haven gone mano-mano right through to the last round; and the 67,000 fans inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium England concur, admitted most of those English fans would have been happier with a different outcome.
As Anthony Joshua goes to hospital to checkout his broken eye socket, he will have many decisions to make including whether to invoke the rematch clause of the fight and give it another go at Olek or just to hang up his gloves for good. With this defeat, who knows how Tyson Fury and Deontay Wielder's rescheduled fight for October 9th 2021 will break, and whether the loser will have to fight Anthony Joshua and the winner fight Oleksandr Usyk and in that way, the hierarchical perching order of heavyweight boxers can be established. ICHEOKU says congratulations to Oleksandr Usyk, the new WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion.
CONOR MCGREGOR OR DR ANTHONY FAUCI: WHO PITCHED IT WORSE?
ICHEOKU says although baseball is not their strongest suit but they could have done at least slightly better than they did. Dr Anthony Fauci threw a horrible pitch and Conor McGregor apparently outdid him, throwing an even worse pitch which went off the home plate farther.
It was during the match between Chicago Cubs and Minnesota Twins at Wrigley Field Chicago. Recall that the coronavirus doctor pitched a ball in July 2020 at National Park Washington DC in the season's opener between New York Yankees and Washington Nationals.
Anyway, both men are authorities in their areas of specializations, with the doctor being the oracle of infectious diseases and the UFC badass being the one of the fiercest competitor in the blood and guts mixed martial arts sport. FYI: the video is even more hilarious, so Youtube it and see for yourself.

NANCY PELOSI ELEVATES HER HYPOCRISY: WANTS PRESIDENT'S POWERS CURTAILED.
ICHEOKU says she is the undisputed leader of the Democratic Party's far left liberal wing and she suffers no fools about it, projecting that undiluted and near absolute authority which she wields with ruthless efficiency. She says it and so shall it be, and it does not matter for her that she serves others what she will not accept nor take.
As usual, what is good for Nancy is never good for others, and as the undisputed, acclaimed mother superior, who makes the rules and decides who gets what, only Nancy can keep her powers but no one else. She is the George Orwell's Animal Farm's personification of "some animals are more equal than others" as she is particularly privileged and cannot share the same platform of expectations with we lesser mortals, including the president. She is again driving this point home, that everyone must understand it clearly, that there is one set of rules for Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi and another set of rules for everyone else.
Just a few days after her interview on CNN alongside her British counterpart, the Speaker of House of Commons, Lord Lindsay Hoyle, information has come out that her controlled House of Representatives is working on a bill to reduce, minimize, curtail and diminish the powers of the office of the president. But in the said CNN interview, when she was asked about her own powers as a political speaker and whether she will ever think about reducing the powers of her office and become an impartial speaker like her British counterpart, she flatly said absolutely no.
She said that there is no chance in hell she will ever contemplate that, especially not now when a woman is the speaker of the House of Representatives, questioning why it should be now that a woman is the speaker that such a thing is being brought up. Paraphrasing her, she said that she enjoys her powers as an executive speaker with overwhelming powers, and that she will continue to use it to try and fix many inequities in America, improve the odds of American women and women everywhere, towards forging a better American society where men and "white supremacy" will no longer lord it over everyone. She also blamed "white supremacy" for everything that is wrong in America.
Her British minion, Lord Lindsay Hoyle, effortlessly nodded in agreement to every syllable that came out of her mouth. The House of Commons fella painted a picture a puppy beside its owner and was just lapping it up, casting a shadow of a specimen of the conquered Western male whose testicles have been locked away in a testicular lockbox by feminist crusaders. He rarely made eye contacts with Madam Speaker Nancy and on the few brief occasions he stole them, just to gauge her countenance that he has not gone off the rails. He was a completely emasculated male and it showed.
Anyway, the Brit is not the reason for this article, so we must forget the little digression and steer back on the road by moving on to Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi effort to diminish the powers of the presidency but guarding the powers of the Speaker so jealously. Why does she always protect her interests with every fibre of being in her, but readily trounces other people's interests. If she is the president will she ever contemplate curtailing the powers of the office? Of all the reasons she and the California congressman Adams Schiff are using as reason to reduce the powers of the president, does she think that some other people cannot make similar arguments for why the powers of the Speaker should be reduced?
But no, the rule is always different for Madam Speaker than for others, including the president of the United States of America. She is always quick to remind everyone that she is the peoples speaker and was sent to Washington DC by the people as their representative; and you ask yourself, is the president not also sent by the people to Washington DC and who exactly does the president represent other than the people of America. But for Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi, it is only her being sent to Washington DC that really matters and in the same vein, only her representation of the people in Washington DC counts. Is she saying that she has never ever abused the office of the Speaker and that everything she has ever done could pass muster.
Is she saying that were a man the Speaker, may be such power reduction could have been considered? Why the many impeachments and why use impeachments as a political weapon or does that not sound as a reason to curb some powers of the office which she currently occupies. If she has her way now with limiting the president's powers, how about the next speaker? So, Trump caused it, but how about the next future presidents and why must their powers be impacted because of whatever she accused Trump of doing that warranted her action. But it is Crazy Nancy and some of her actions are spontaneous and emotions tinged.
It was the same way she did her hair during the coronavirus pandemic when the entire nation was in a lockdown with an acute lockdown imposed on San Francisco but that did not deter her from getting her hair done because what Nancy wants Nancy gets. Meanwhile millions of women in America as well as their esthetically conscious male counterparts went without visiting their hair dressers for nearly one year; but not Nancy, because she is mother superior and must always have her way. Then, her impeachment shenanigans and her repeated false claim that President Donald John Trump is mentally incapacitated, begging the 25th Amendment be invoked to remove him from office.
The same Speaker Nancy Pelosi has largely remained silent ever since Joe Biden came into office and steadily manifesting a clear case of sputtering neurons which are not firing on their best cylinders. It would seem that the 25th Amendment has now become the 'N-word" and suddenly prohibited? Speaker Nancy Pelosi who always gets what she wants has now become more emboldened to go after the powers of the president. But why does she want a diminished presidency or does she intend to totally and completely subsume the presidency and have an absolute power over the office. Her seeking to diminish the powers of the president but not that of the speaker is a self serving power move, which might end up making the office of the presidency merely ceremonial. But is this what the founding fathers intended and is anyone listening?

DANIEL FOOTE: A MAN OF HONOR, CANDOR, CONSCIENCE AND GREAT COURAGE.
"I will not be associated with the United States' inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees and illegal immigrants back to a collapsed state which cannot support the infusion of the returning migrants." - Daniel Foote.
ICHEOKU says with those words of great audacity, the now former United States Envoy to Haiti, Daniel Foote, resigned his appointment, rather than be left marooned in Port-au-Prince, trying to explain the inexplicable hostile action of his government to his host nation. He should be commended and applauded for the uncommon courage he displayed by calling out his government over the inhuman and harsh treatment of those Haitian immigrants at Del Rio. His action is exemplary to say the least, when viewed against the background of the unbridled sycophancy of many bureaucrats and political appointees who would rather stay on the invite list silenced, than become a pariah of any administration.
It is only an unconscionable, acute partisan, who will not see and will refuse to see the picture of America's inhumanity painted with that display at Del Rio. The other time it was Iraqi's prisoners in Abu Ghraib in orange jumpsuits and now women and children Haitian immigrants that mounted horses were set at. It is about image and America cannot be going about preaching good behavior for countries around the world when it lacks of it, or at least, the appearance of it. How does America expect her diplomats around the world to torture themselves trying to explain to their host countries, the images coming out from Del Rio of innocent black Haitian immigrants being attacked by giant horses. If Abu Ghraib was a mistake, how about Del Rio and how many more of such unpleasant images does anyone require to see before concluding it is now a pattern of behavior.
The issue is not whether any idea was ignored or any situation was mischaracterized; no, the issue is the damage caused to America's image by what was captured on video, mounted horses charging at and stampeding Haitian immigrants back into the river at Del Rio entry point. The White House, in desperation to damage control the incident and mitigate the horrendous scene, is now attacking the ambassador for not discussing his immigration concerns instead of resigning. But how can any conscionable diplomat discuss what the whole world saw, played out in Del Rio? It is obviously their attempt to claw at any straw because they have no answer or response to either what happened and why the diploma resigned. But try as they may, they can never succeed in demonizing the career diplomat for putting his conscience over and above partisan slobbering.
Which ample opportunity to discuss what is the White House talking about anyway when the issue was so instantaneous; and that mounted horses were used by Joe Biden immigration enforcers against Haitian immigrants when no other immigrants from other countries have ever been subjected to such a harsh and cruel treatment. The ambassador's resignation was not premised on America's immigration crisis under Joe Biden getting worse; no, it was solely on the horse attack of Haitian immigrants. So, what exactly does the White House mean by protesting that the ambassador had ample opportunity to discuss his immigration concerns instead of resigning. But even speaking to that, is the palpable situation in Haiti not to everyone's general knowledge?
It is pathetic that the White House, instead of taking full responsibility for the Del Rio scandal by demanding Immigration Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' resignation, is here piling up on a man who summoned the courage to do the right thing. The ambassador resigned in protest for what has now become another sad chapter in America's storied history of heartlessness. It is a huge stain on the Joe Biden's administration and marks his disposition towards black people, despite lying to them that he has changed his racists ways, which made black people vote for him during last year's presidential election.
Is using mounted horses to intimidate, harass and scare unarmed women and children who are merely seeking a better life in America back into the river a good idea? It is a shame that Joe Biden has gone this too far to register his dislike against black people because someone acting under the color of authority and his agency, authorized and sanctioned those mounted horses being used to charge against those Haitian immigrants.
Meanwhile when Haiti asked for America to send them some troops to help them secure their country following the assassination of their president Jovenel Moise, the White House refused. When Haiti was devastated in a huge earthquake ten years ago which killed almost 500,000 Haitians and destroyed their country and economy, where was the Marshal Plan for Haiti by the American government? When Haiti was recently hit by another devastating earthquake few months ago which killed thousands and destroyed more stuff, what level of aid did Washington DC send to Port-au-Prince?
These were ideas that were probably ignored, admitted that not all ideas are good ideas but building Haiti back better would surely have been one heck of a very good idea, which would have helped Haiti long before and prevented the people from being forced out of their country in search of salvation. So, yes, it is inhumane for the American government under Joe Biden, a known racist, to still take additional step to compound the problems of a people already traumatized beyond reason, by not only stopping them at the southern border but also doing so in a manner that is reminiscent of slavery and Jim Crow era.
American people should in unison commend Emeritus diplomat Daniel Foote for taking such a bold step to reject an outrageous and outlandish obvious racist attack on black Haitians. No other immigrants have ever been treated so harshly and his standing up against it is the stuff uncommon courage is made of. We should pray to have more Daniel Footes within the American diplomatic community, so that every American diplomat will have the courage just like like him and speak up whenever the situation calls for it, regardless of the consequences.
Showing such a backbone and not being an accomplice to inhumane treatment of people from countries they are sent to represent America in, will help improve America's image and resonate the message of what America stands for. It took courage and great audacity to stand so tall and speak truth to power, especially to a government under whose behest he served, until the Del Rio scandal happened. Kudos to Ambassador Daniel Foote.
Joe Biden is aware that Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere has been hit in recent weeks by a presidential assassination, un-abating gang violence and major earthquakes, yet he chose to return their immigrants back in plane loads. It only shows that Joe Biden is still who he is and never really cared nor liked black people. Haitians need asylum more than the Afghanis being brought into America in plane loads.
As Al Sharpton succinctly put it, "If you come from a nation where the president has been assassinated in the last 60 days, followed by an earthquake, followed by a hurricane, I don't know how you can more qualify for asylum than that." Daniel Foot represents what is good in America, thank you Dan for standing up for the helpless when others including Jim Clyburn are still wavering. #Evacuate100,000Haitians.

CHARGING AT HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS WITH HORSES: A RACIST TACTICAL MANEUVER.
ICHEOKU says among them were women and children and infants as young as two days old. But these pertinent facts did not deter Joe Biden as he sent his immigration agents on mounted horses to charge at Haitian immigrants simply seeking refuge in America. It is his government, his Immigration Secretary, his immigration policy and his immigration enforcement officers and the buck stopped on his desk.
So, no amount of denial or remedial effort will take away the shame of what happened in Del Rio or absolve him from it because they are Joe Biden's immigration enforcement officers and they acted under the color of his authority and his immigration higher ups ordered those mounted horses to Del Rio.
Joe Biden is therefore fully responsible for what took place and he did it because those Haitians are black and his long history with racists tendencies is undeniable, admitted he would rather that chapter of his life be buried in the past where they supposedly belong. If they were not black would his administration have sent mounted horses to confront those Haitians with whips and hoofs? Why were those Mexican and South America immigrants not similarly confronted? And pushing the envelope further, were those Haitians confronted in this manner because their blackness does not meet Joe's "you ain't black" benchmark.
Imagine the outrage which would have resulted had it been that President Donald John Trump is in the White House and mounted horses charged at black Haitian immigrants. But no, it is Joe Biden and good ol' boy Joe can do no wrong, hence the tepid reaction over what happened. Immigration Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has not fallen on his sword neither has the black Jamaican-Indian point person on immigration, Kamala Harris, resigned the appointment as Immigration tsar or rather tsarina over the unfolding scandal. It is retro slavery and Jim Crow's intimidation of black people into obedience through forceful corralling by mounted horses.
Joe Biden is doing to black people in 2021 exactly what were did to them centuries and decades ago. His government is showing no mercy nor pity to black Haitians, unlike the hospitality which it showed to lighter skinned Mexicans and South American immigrants who similarly poured into the country. Meanwhile Haitians who made it out are being summarily returned back to Haiti in plane loads.
ICHEOKU says Kamala Harris is scheming for a 2024 presidential run and therefore approaching the issue with great caution, afraid not to upset many democrats who do not like taking seriously the issue of blacks inequality and mistreatment in America. Democrats, who merely appeal to black people's sentiments only at election time, emphasizing that they should vote for them simply because they are not republicans. But how many issues militating against black people in America have been addressed by the democrats? Even Congressman James Clyburn who deceived, misled and lied to some unthinking black Americans during last year's presidential election campaign that Joe Biden is not a racist, has not been seen throwing a fit over what Joe Biden's administration is doing to black Haitians at the southern border in Del RIo.
At least Jim Clyburn is old enough to know what Jim Crow law did to black people's psyche in America, reminiscent of their slavery experience when black people were horse whipped and horse corralled into forced obedience. Now, the same Joe Biden who he helped imposed on America by first imposing him on black people have now gone cuckoo on black Haitian immigrants and what has Jim Clyburn said about it. Recall that Jim Clyburn only got a non binding promise from Joe Biden to appoint a black female Supreme Court Justice as the bargain for black votes in 2020. A non vacant position, which might not even open up during Joe Biden's term; yet this was what Jim Clyburn based his endorsement of Joe Biden on. It says a lot about the cavalier manner with which these supposed black leaders treat and approach issues concerning black people in America.
What crime did those black Haitian immigrants commit other than seeking a better life for themselves and their families, just like every other immigrant coming to America from around the world, especially from lighter skinned countries, including those from Southern America and Mexico. These other light skinned immigrants were allowed in their tens of thousands into America without being whipped or horse harassed. They were welcomed, fed, hydrated, given medical attention and later bused to various cities in America to "wait" the final decision on their immigration petition. But black Haitians, the treatment has to be different and harsh and inhumane. Why is the treatment meted to them different or is the color of their skin in the way and does not meet the standard color of acceptable immigrants in Joe Biden's America.
Who speaks for black people when Kamala Harris has largely remained mute. What has Jim Clyburn got to say about his lies to black people that Joe Biden loves black people, when he is practically reenacting Jim Crow at the southern border as the true custodian of that era's policies against blacks in America. Those Haitian immigrants being charged at by these mounted horses include some pregnant women, nursing mothers, little children and infants some as old as only two days. Who will protect black people in America when black leaders have literally been compromised and will not do their job, at least not any more. Imagine the good trouble which late Georgia 6th district Congressman John Lewis would have caused Joe Biden were he still alive. Is it a crime to be black or do we blame God Almighty, who in his wisdom, made some of his people black.
It is horrific reliving the Jim Crow era experience under the Joe Biden administration. It was like a time travel back to that era watching those black Haitian immigrants being hoofed after and stared down by toothy stallions. Those Haitians are human beings too and their black lives should matter as well. They deserve to be treated with some respect and dignity. They are not anybody's slaves nor property that they should be subjected to horse corralling. Seeking asylum anywhere including in America is not a crime. They should not be treated like criminals and savages that will pollute America if allowed to come in.
Nobody is advocating for open borders or unlimited immigration or that anybody who gets to the border should be allowed to come in or stay. No, only that there should be a one cap fits all immigration enforcement such that if Mexican and South American immigrants are cordially welcomed, so should Haitian immigrants too. No immigrants, no matter the shade of their pigmentation, should be harassed with giant horse hoofs, bellowing and snarling of teeth forcing them back into the waters of Rio Grande where they could have easily drowned. Joe Biden did it to the Haitians and since the buck stopped on his desk, he should take full responsibility for it just like he did with the botched Afghanistan withdrawal. It is sad the bargain black people entered with Joe Biden just because James Clyburn made them do it.
