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

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

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

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

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

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

“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me. God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. Memories precipitated by love is the only true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on. The most expensive bed in the world is the sick bed. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – Life. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others.” - SJ

OBAMA: SHAMELESSLY TAKES CREDIT FOR TRUMP'S ECONOMY.

ICHEOKU says watching former President Barack Hussein Obama deliver his speech at Urbana University, Champagne, Illinois, left many speechless and wondering whether the last eight years of his presidency never happened; or that the American people did not hear the same cliched hogwash in 2016, when they voted to reject his economic policies and the direction in which he was steering the country; and refused to vote to protect his legacy, by refusing to vote for his endorsed candidate, Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton. 

Therefore, it will require the suspension of disbelief to accept the former president's rehashed, stale, talking points, which he rattled and prattled on, deliberately and desperately trying to confuse the gullible and hoping that the usual public's amnesia will aid his ploy. But the American people knows better and they knew exactly what it was that they rejected with their votes in the last election and they do not want to go back to hopelessness, fear, misery and self-doubt, worrying about their 401Ks, investments, their properties, as well as the future of their children; and wondering what went wrong and what has become of their America. They are happy that their children who remained in their houses long after graduation, have all now moved out on their own to pursue  independent living. They are happy that they do not have to support their adult children anymore, as the booming economy have taken care of business and nobody wants to go back to what it was that held America down and for eight long years.

ICHEOKU watched Obama's dribble, but it was a hard sell; as he told a tale of his peculiar America that was entirely different from the one which every American witnessed and watched happen during his eight years of making it up as he went, without any clear policies on anything; as he tried to please his homosexuals constituency as well as his foreign partners in their mad pursuit of a globalized world economy. Therefore it was a shame for the former president to so blatantly and with straight face, claim the last eighteen months of pure magic which is being wrought by the billionaire business mogul and you wonder what took over Obama's sense of self and pride, that he could have so condescended and so shamelessly and pitifully, claim the hard-work of another president.

But understandably, everything the left has thrown at President Donald John Trump has failed to stick to the Teflon Don, hence the need to drag out their last joker, a very reluctant former president, who is still nursing the wounds of defeat handed to him and his policies last November 8, 2016, back to the stage. Yes, they tried the Vagina hats, it did not work. They tried the RESIST movement, it flopped. They tried their several ANTIFA riots, but to no avail. They arranged a kangaroo Russian Collusion investigation, which has literally exploded in their face. They pulled Stormy Daniels, but it did not move a needle. Then came their Michael Wolffe and his Fire and Fury book of fiction, but it bombed too/ Then came Omarosa Magnault's Unhinged book of fallacious intrigues, which also failed to launch. Then, the Helsinki Summit, which also gathered no moss. Now, Bob Woodward's already flunked dead on arrival, Fear Trump will be added to the pie of mud. So, when every other thing they tried failed, it is time to reinvent the wheels by bringing back former President Barack Obama to come out to retell a tale by the moonlight. ICHEOKU says really? 

ICHEOKU says if these democrats are really thinking, they would have known that Obama is not going to add anything of value to their effort to make a dent in President Donald John Trump's numbers or otherwise takeover the House this November. Obama's story in the White House is not such a distant past that Americans would have forgotten so easily and so soon. Obama's policies were primarily the reason Trump won the election as American people vehemently rejected them and sort a new direction. American people would have otherwise voted to stay the course and continue with the trajectory in which the country was headed, had they believed in Obama, but they chose to reject him. Obama literally, was on bended knees, pleading with American people to please vote to protect his legacy, by voting for Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton; but all his plea fell on deaf ears as they were resoundingly rejected. American people said no, that it his ideas and policies are not good for America and moved with the new kid on the block, Trump. 

So, what exactly changed now that Obama wants to come and inundate American people with his imaginary tales, one would ask? What is he saying now that he did not say before in 2016; except that he wants to be twice beaten and twice shy, because he will be beat again. The reappearance of Barack Obama on the trails can only be one thing and one thing only - the desperation of the Democratic Party, because they are hopelessly hopeless, and lost, on how to solve the Trump question. They are a drowning man holding to any and whatever straw that floated their way and Obama seems to be their next best shot. But they will be disappointed to find out that American people have since moved on from Obama, who is now left in their rear view mirror, as a distant memory which they want better forgotten. 

Here is a man who had eight long years to get the economy roaring, but never pushed it above 2.8% growth, the lowest ever in recent history. Suddenly, he is now claiming that the magic witnessed in the last eighteen months was his own making? ICHEOKU says what designer drug of choice was Obama on, when he told such fable as it must be some delusion inducing opiates. Query, why did the economy which was heavily regulated by Obama took off only when those regulations were removed? Why was Obama’s economy which was performing below 2.7% and which Obama told Americans not to believe anyone who says they have a magic wand to turn it around; and that America’s great days are over, able to rave back to 4.2% once unshackled by President Donald John Trump. 

Obama once told Americans that manufacturing jobs are lost forever and that they are not coming back ever. But the Trump’s economy has so far created 656,000 manufacturing jobs within the last eighteen months; so how did Obama help to bring these jobs which he said were not coming back, back into the economy. Obama closed down a lot of coal mining plants and forced thousands of miners into unemployment. Trump opened them up, absorbing miners and creating thousands of new mining jobs, which are all adding impetus to the economy; yet Obama wants Americans to believe that he did what again? Obama allowed China, Canada, Mexico and Europe to take American jobs, Trump said no more, and those jobs are coming back into America, yet Obama claimed credit for a booming economy? 

Obama allowed steel and aluminum dumping by other countries into America which forced America Steel plants to shutter down, with thousands of jobs lost; bleeding the economy. Trump opened the Steel Mills back up with more plants being rolled out, creating thousands of jobs which is adding to the economy; so how did Obama do what he said he did again? Obama did not have sanctions on countries of the world which led to flooding of America with cheap inferior goods from China and third world countries, causing unemployment in America as American companies and factories that make those goods shuttered down. Trump imposed sanctions, thus protecting American manufacturing base and people are working and contributing to the economy; yet Obama said he did what? Also do not forget who canceled the TPP, brought back the Canada pipeline back and is renegotiating NAFTA and other trade relationships, which all are adding to the economy, but Obama wants America to forget his ineptitude. ICHEOKU says not so fast. 

With more people now working and producing, the economy is booming. But under Obama, nearly 90 million Americans were on food stamps, jobless; but Trump has so far created jobs for many of these former government handouts collectors and the toll on the government has gone down and they are all producing for the economy. Put in another way, Barack Obama was an economic depressant and a prophet of doom about America’s greatness; and he made so many American people to stop bothering about finding a job. Trump is a champion and cheer leading chief of America, and is encouraging everybody to believe again in America's greatness and the people are listening to him and doing their best as they contribute to the booming economy. 

Barack Obama said that raising taxes is better than cutting taxes, but is now shamelessly claiming that an economy which is booming in part because of tax cut, was his making, when he is an anti tax cut president. It is also on record that Apple brought back $135 billion it had stashed overseas back into America's economy following the Trump's tax cut; that Foxcom is investing $10 billion into the United States of America economy building a new plant in Wisconsin; likewise Softbanks which is investing $50 billion and you wonder what role Obama played in attracting any of these businesses; including Ford and Chrysler which are building new manufacturing plants in America as a result of Trump's re-engineered economic policies and massive tax cuts. Anyway, Obama's reemergence will be a gift for President Donald John Trump and the Republican Party going into the midterm, so a very welcome development.

LES MOONVES IS OUT OF JOB: ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE ME-TOO MADNESS.

ICHEOKU says knew a long time ago that the day will come when the horny CBS Chief Executive Office will be let go by his employers. ICHEOKU says his cup was full the time so many women lined up to echo, Me Too, to the sexual allegations brought against him. 

ICHEOKU has no sympathy for him, especially after watching him on national television during the Harvey Weinstein ordeal, trying to pontificate his holier than thou, blaming it on an office culture that allows such. Meanwhile he too was also a predator, but pretending innocence. Like Jesus Christ said, he who is without sin should throw stones and there he was casting stone on Harvey Weinstein, fully aware that he was also as guilty. 

Anyway, America has not heard the last of sex amongst the high and powerful; as more women will still bravely come out, due to the obstacles strewn their way on their way to the top. So long Les.

CORY BOOKER: TOO RADICAL TO BE ELECTED PRESIDENT.

ICHEOKU says and Kamara Harris too; and the two are Obama 2.0 on steroids. Simply put, they scare the hell out of Americans, too far more radicalized than the Manchurian candidate himself, the former President Barack Hussein Obama. At least the former president was sly about his own bad intentions and smoothly covered it up very well while he navigated his way to the White House. Obama was able to beguile Americans and successfully snaked his way into the presidency; without them ever being fully aware of who he truly is and his extreme anti America views and tendencies. 

Barack Obama as a candidate successfully hid his associations with American untouchable Louis Farrakhan and even when confronted with his more than twenty years association with his Pastor Jeremiah Wright, played Peter on Jesus at him, denied him with straight face. Ditto Bill Ayers; as well as distanced himself from his friend, the Chicago slum lord Tony Rezko. That was Barack Obama for you and he wanted the presidency more than anything else and was prepared to throw everybody under the bus to get there. He was cool, he was clever and he hoodwinked everyone and successfully covered his behind very well not to raise any red flags and American people became comfortable with him as they elected him president twice. 

But this two nut jobs, wanna be president, did not borrow a page from the surreptitious script of Barack Obama, which he successfully deployed as a parachute to land into the White House.  They showed their hands too early and have scared away Americans; and thus  foreclosed whatever chances they hitherto, might have had, of ever being president of the United States of America. They scared away white people and other Americans who are not blacks, and they cannot be elected president of the United States of America with just black votes; since black people make up only about less than 15% of the population at 47 million people and they are not even laser focused and adept at politicking. 

It was a huge joke watching the two radicals throw tantrums during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Judge Kavanaugh's Associate Justice of the Supreme Court nomination process. They spelt crazy and they are indeed so threatening to all that America is about and stands for that no American would ever want to hand any of the two the keys to their White House. They are angry and they are mad; and one of them was even prepared to break Senate rules just to establish himself as a more radical nut job than the other. It was such a macabre display that no sane American would ever want nor desire such an angry minority in their White House, at least not in the nearest future time. This two crazy Democratic Senators from California and New Jersey are indeed anathema to American ideals and must be kept as far away as possible from ever nearing the White House seat of power. 

They pandered to their constituents; but unfortunately they need more than their constituents  to win a nation-wide contest and majority of Americans reject their firebrand radicalism to socialism politics. ICHEOKU says unfortunately, whatever chances either of this two personalities had prior and before the exhibitions which they put up at the Judge Kavanaugh Senate Judiciary Committee hearing has now been effectively foreclosed, as no American would take a chance with any of them occupying their White House. So many Americans are still regretting their trusting of Barack Obama and will not readily trust another minority in the White House; especially this two fellas who have shown their hands and they smell of extreme radicalism to socialism. No real American is ready for the complete transformation of the country into a Venezuela type of rot and will work to stop this two. 

American people will not put up with such a total and complete radical transformational make over of America into a strange country which they cannot recognize again or proudly call their America. Unfortunately, in their attempt to outperform each other and appeal to their far left wing base of cuckoos as the most radical socialist, they tipped their hands and American people saw who they really are; and by extension, what is headed down the pike in the unfortunate event either of them is ever elected president. But good enough, wizards of smarts say that the odds of any either of them ever getting elected president of the United States of America is 1 in 10s of millions; and put more succinctly, ZERO. That is exactly how their hope of ever occupying the White House was crashed, gone with the wind of Judge Kavanaugh confirmation hearing. SAD.

NIKE TAKES SIDE WITH KAEPERNICK: PATRIOTIC AMERICANS BUY NIKE TOO.

ICHEOKU says whatever made Nike do it, including their "JUST DO IT" slogan, the decision to use Colin Kaepernick for their advertisement commercial is not a healthy business decision. ICHEOKU wishes that Nike did not do it, as such a clear taking of sides will rub some of its customer base wrongly and they might react by boycotting anything Nike. Nike's taking of sides with Colin Kaepernick in the matter of kneeling during national anthem shows that Nike has been hijacked by wild eyed liberal anarchists, out to ferment trouble and unapologetic about it. 

Colin Kaepernick kneeled because according to him, to draw attention to white police killing black people; but nobody, including Colin Kaepernick ever kneels when black people kill each other, as is going on in Chicago land. Then you ask yourself does the fact of the color of the skin of the killer make any difference or make the killing otherwise justifiable. Enough of the kneeling as the point has been made; only that Nike's commercial has now given the National discuss a new lease of life and it was otherwise avoidable. SAD.

DEMS ARE GOING CRAZY - PDJT

“Today’s Democratic Party is held hostage by left wing haters, angry mobs, Deep State radicals, establishment cronies and their Fake News allies. The most remarkable thing about the modern Democratic Party is how undemocratic they have truly become. Our rejection of their idea is driving them really crazy!” - President Donald John Trump.

JUDGE KAVANAUGH: CONFIRM HIM NOW

ICHEOKU says he is an all American, by the book, jurist, and will be an added advantage to the Supreme Court of the United States of America. 

Judge Brett Michael Kavanaugh will help Make the Supreme Court Great Again by ensuring that the court will be guided strictly by Constitutional provisions and that judges are not allowed to make laws from the bench, but merely interpret existing laws as made. 

ICHEOKU supports the president's nominee for associate judgeship of the Supreme Court and urges the Senate to confirm him now, without any further ado or much delay.

HIS SUN SETS AT 81: ADIEU SENATOR


ICHEOKU says he had a good run at life, lived it really up and fulfilled; admitted he could not attain the United States presidency, which he so much coveted and desired and madly sought after. But he was a mean spirited and unforgiving man and this belittled him. Rest In Peace Senator John Sidney McCain. Adieu John. 

MCCAIN IS GONE: REST IN PEACE WARRIOR.

ICHEOKU says the maverick McCain, who once denied ever being a maverick; a war hero and a United States Senator from the great State of Arizona, who has been a torn in the flesh of so many people, including President Donald John Trump, is no more. Senator John Sidney McCain III, died of brain tumor and old age related infirmities. He was 81 years old. 

Recall that the Senator was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a very aggressive form of brain tumor which also killed Senator Ted Kennedy, in July 2017 and he weathered it through a little over one year before finally giving up the struggle as he succumbed to the killer disease on August 25th, 2018, by 4.28 pm, surrounded by his loving family. 

Maverick McCain will be remembered for the many things which he did, including his service to the nation as a member of the United States Navy and his being shot down and captured in Vietnam; a United States Senator and a failed presidential candidate nominee of a major party, the Republican Party. However, there are two memorable things which stood out in his life in the Senate:- his alleged telegraphing to his supporters during his failed presidential campaign in 2008 that the then candidate Barack Obama is not one of them - his infamous "THAT ONE" mouth off while pointing at Barack Obama. It registered and it stuck till this day in the minds of millions, who not only considered it offensive, but maintains it is a racist dog whistle. 

Also his thumbs down vote, which defeated President Donald John Trump's supported bill to reform Obamacare, was rather a rude shock and a big surprise to so many people, including his Republican colleagues in the Senate. Such a maverick vote by the maverick Senator John McCain was feared but not expected, because he had previously campaigned to repeal and replace Obamacare. But inexplicably, when the opportunity for him to see his wish through, "repealed and replaced", availed him, his pettiness got a better hold of him, as he decided to exert his revenge on President Donald John Trump and voted it down. His vote defeating the repeal and replace Obamacare will forever attach to his memory as one of those things that had no rhyme or reason, but which was done out of spite and for pure vengeance and it showed.

Recall that the president had questioned his hero status as a captured war hero, saying that he prefer those warriors who were not captured. John McCain who prides himself as a war hero never forgave the president and it showed in his attacks and actions against the president and he carried this animosity against the president with him to the land beyond. It became such a distasteful acts of vendetta that even when the president made some effort at rapprochement, the Senator rebuffed him; even to the extent of expressing his wish that the president do not attend his funeral. ICHEOKU says if any man was petty, little, vengeful and unforgiving, Senator John Sidney McCain III is that man; and it tarnished his legacy to the extent that no commentary of or about him will be complete without dedicating some pages on his mean demeanor and penchant for vengefulness. 

Senator John McCain may be a good husband and father to his wife and children, but he certainly had a cold unforgiving heart and it showed in everything John McCain did and spoke about. He campaigned on repealing Obamacare but when the opportunity presented itself, he refused to vote to repeal it simply because he saw voting against it as a payback to the president, with whom he has been feuding since the president rebuffed his war hero worship as a captured war veteran. Senator John McCain is also a very creepy person, as every person who watched his presidential campaign debate with then candidate Barack Obama sometimes saw him making weird moves behind or besides Barack Obama. To some people however, his death did not come soon enough as it would have spared Americans the still lurking around Obamacare disaster. To others, even at 81 years old and sickly, they would rather still have him around; except that old age and sickness ruled otherwise and today he is no more, gone to be with his ancestors. 

ICHEOKU says may the good Lord reward Senator John Sidney McCain according to his stewardship while his sojourn here on earth lasted. Although he has seven children including two adopted black children, but only her daughter Meghan McCain is known nationally and through her, ICHEOKU sends our condolences to the family of John McCain on the loss of their patriarch, Senator John McCain. May the ever restless Senator now rest and hopefully the Governor of the great State of Arizona will appoint a replacement, worthy of the honor of truly flying the Republican flag as a bona fides Republican conservative and not a RINO (Republican in name only); and who will proudly stand shoulder to shoulder with the president and help the president accomplish his Make America Great Again agenda. Adieu John.

LET THE TRUTH BE SPOKEN - PDJT

“The only thing that I have done wrong is to win an election that was expected to be won by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. The problem is, they forgot to campaign in numerous states!” - President Donald John Trump. 

ICHEOKU says simply the truth and nothing but the truth and those sore losers have not learnt how to be honorable in defeat and will be whining until President Donald John Trump is sworn in for a second term. Pitiful humanoids who had complained that then candidate said that he will not accept an election result if rigged, but are now doing exactly what they had complained against. Hypocritical creeps. 

JEFF SESSIONS: A MEMBER OF THE DEEP STATE?

ICHEOKU says with s friend like Jeff Sessions, President Donald John Trump does not need an enemy. What manner of an Attorney General would stand idly by and watch, while the president who appointed him an AG is being bayoneted from the sane Justice Department which he is supposedly heading? From his willful indifference, the president might as well have a Bill Clinton as his Attorney General for crying out loud. 

ICHEOKU says possibly Jeff Sessions is a bona fides member of the Deep State or the Deep State has something on him and holding him hostage to it. Otherwise, what has put him into such a bind of inaction. 

But hey, things will soon come to a head as the Russian Collusion has migrated to Russian meddling to Stormy Daniels to Michael Cohen to all sundry stuff, devoid of the initial Collusion with the Russians which is supposed to be the matter being investigated. Yet, Jeff Sessions remains a no show, away without official leave. With an Attorney General like him, the president has no AG. SAD. Salute

MICHAEL COHEN PLEA BARGAINS: POINTS ACCUSING FINGER AT TRUMP.

ICHEOKU says what manner of a man is this guy, a lawyer, who would secretly record conversations with his client and you wonder for what possible reason? A weakling who publicly boasted that he would do anything to protect the president, that he is "very loyal and very dedicated to the president" and would even take  bullet for the president, but when the first shot was fired across the bow, he quickly ducked and let the wheezing bullet strike the target? 

This is a guy who had on several previous occasions, vehemently denied that the president had a heads-up nor knew anything about his dealings with Stormy Daniels, only for him to now turn against the president, claiming that the president instructed him to make the deal. In his own conclusion, it amounts to campaign finance violation.

The question then becomes, if indeed the president asked him to make the payments, why then did he later make requisitions for reimbursements for the payments? Why didn't the president instruct his bank account accordingly and simultaneously at the time of the instruction. Could it be a case of a personal lawyer who acted on behalf of his client, fully aware that he will be made whole once he informs the president, and as is usual in their normal course of business interactions over the decade. Is it also possible that the president was advised by Michael Cohen and acted on the advise of his counsel to make the Stormy Daniel's nuisance go away, by agreeing to pay her off in order to end her petulance and threats of a blackmail? A threat to be treated as serious in view of the period of a presidential electioneering campaign.

But a Michael Cohen, who previously stated on many different occasions that he acted intuitively and that the president was not aware of the transaction prior, but only informed him later; has now somersaulted and alleged otherwise. Query, which of the Michael Cohen should the public believe - the one who previously denied that the president knew about the transaction when he was under no pressure, or the current Michael Cohen who is overtly agitated, anxious, scared stiff and worried about a possible long term prison sentence and desperately looking for a way out; or at least, a soft landing and would say or do anything, whatever it will take, to curry favor from the prosecution, towards getting a lighter sentence. 

Therefore, is it possible that he agreed to make the admission or simply signed off on a predetermined statement just because he had no choice?  It is either he lied then or he is lying now as the two polar opposites positions cannot both be a truism. So which Michael Cohen is this, the one who lied before or the one who is lying now? Could he possibly have told the truth then and again telling the truth now, depending on whose version of the truth is being told and is believable. Did he tell the truth previously and is now telling a version of manufactured truth just to cushion his fall. Whatever be the case, his credibility is suspect at best and whatever doubt arising as to what the truth might be, must be resolved in favor of the president. Michael Cohen has more to lose, including his freedom; and having fallen out of favor of the president might be seeking his pound of flesh payback by trying to frame the president.

However, his tax fraud and making false statements to banks guilty plea has no correlation to the Russian Collusion investigation, as Michael Cohen committed the said offenses  outside his duties of working for the president as his personal attorney and therefore strictly his sole acts. His other claim of being instructed by the president is merely "a he said and he said" disputation between the two men and unless he also secretly recorded the conversation where the president was instructing him to pay Stormy Daniels, the veracity of what he said will be based on which of the two men is more believable. Michael Cohen lied before and is most likely Michael Cohen is once again lying now; and when in doubt, it should be resolve in favor of the party with less to lose, the party being accused. 

Lastly, one certainty going forward is that the Special Counsel investigation of  the Russian Collusion seems to have finally hit the rock in his primary assigned duty to find a Russian Collusion. He seems to be now simply fishing, otherwise what has someone's personal crimes of tax fraud and other crimes has to do with the president. But hey, they have certainly now moved from Russian Collusion to Michael Cohen Collusion or rather Michael Cohen please help us get the president Collusion-Collaboration. But trust is the victim in all this and if one cannot trust his attorney, who else could he trust. SAD.

CATHOLIC PRIESTS ARE HUMANS TOO: LET THEM MARRY OR KEEP LOVERS.

ICHEOKU says nobody, except those in denial, as well as sanctimonious faithfuls, who still see the white cassock as a symbol of abstinence, chaste and holiness, believes that celibacy is still widely observed among the Catholic clergy.  But for those in the know, the well informed human beings, who know better; human beings have desires and urge and they have to find a way to quench it, regardless of their oath of chastity. 

It is not their fault and they should not be blamed for merely acting out an urge which necessarily comes with age and maturity. To say otherwise or pretend that this does not exist or should not exist, is living a life of lie, which is repeatedly being debunked by the incessant cases of rape and sexual molestation by priests of the Catholic Church. It is is their cry for help to be allowed sexual indulgences like every other hot blooded animal who primarily live to eat and have sex sex. It is this denial by a man made rule that is consistently manifesting in all the rapes and sexual molestations prevalent in the Catholic Church. That the incidences are prevalent and generally under reported, and in some case not reported at all, especially in Africa and Latin American countries, is also a fact. Often, for every one priest caught in the act or whose perversion was discovered, there are at least ten others who are still living with guilty conscience of what they did or are still doing; and so many of them had already died in sin, with similar guilt conscience. 

Regrettably, the Vatican which modulates the lives and behavior of these men in white cassock, and which often revises rules of the church, canons of the church, has not found tune to act on the question of celibacy of these men of God. It is therefore about time they acted and in order to save a fast dying Catholic Church from complete extinction. A church which once used to be the envy of all other denominations but which has steadily witnessed a rapid decline, needs to do something urgently to shore itself up.  So many faithfuls and parishioners have since walked away from the church; and their loss is the gain of other churches, which accommodate certain needs of human beings such as the the freedom to have sex or copulate or even populate. Some Catholics are not happy with the church for their stubborn adherence to dogmas of the past century and wants some make over. Some are also tired of being forced to steep into doctrinaires of the last century which they find absolutely incompatible with modern living. Many also felt violated by the recurring sexual molestations, rape and abuse, which have now become a recurring decimal within the church clergy. All these are bleeding the church of faithfuls and parishioners and it does not bode well for the long term health of the church. 

Fortunately, there is a somewhat solution or at least some band aid to the wide spread sexual epidemic among Catholic priests.  LET THEM MARRY or at least have a lover or sexual partner. Restore their freedom to make that decision whether or not they want to copulate and it is done. 1 Timothy 3:2 and other verses of the Bible are suggestive that  priests are not forbidden to marry and since bishops can marry, why not the precursor to those bishops, the priests. ICHEOKU says since the Bible does not forbid it nor frowns at it, there is no nothing preventing them once the century old tradition, which the Catholic Church adopted for mere convenience, is lifted. Let those who wants to marry be allowed to marry and let those who do not want to marry, but would rather keep lovers, including many of them that are gay, be allowed to have sexual partners. 

Any of this is a better option than to continue to accommodate all these sexual predators in white cassock, who would rather steal sex from an alter boy and other vulnerable children, than be outed as a non celibate priest. This is modern day living and so many husbands and wives often leave their partners when duty calls, sometimes for days and sometimes for long hours including emergency doctors, firefighters, traveling salesmen and nurses, oil rig and offshore workers, as well as other emergency workers. So, there is no more excuse for priest not to marry because the nature of their pastoral service often sees them going to places, both suddenly and so remote, that they will not have time for their spouses or raising a family. There are so many single parent raising families, especially those who momentarily do so because their spouse is at work. So let such marrying priests be allowed to live the life of the society in which they pastor. 

ICHEOKU says this is a problem they are better left to figure out its solution, rather than being baby seated through them. They are adults and if they can manage the challenges necessarily concomitant with being married,  so be it; but let it not be for lack of trying. Like with every other person in the society, they should also be free to divorce their partners if and when it becomes impossible for them to carry on and tarry on. Priests and clergies of other churches marry and they get along with their pastoral works just fine; therefore there is no reason why Catholic priests should not be extended this choice. They too can joggle their life of being a priest and also being a father or lover or even baby daddy. They, like priests of other churches, can get on with their lives of pastoring flocks alongside being a husband or just lover. If they elect to so do, they must be given that option and opportunity. ICHEOKU therefore calls on the Vatican to end this rape and sexual molestation of children within the Catholic priests, and allow Catholic priests to marry or have a lover or at least let them have that choice.

JOHN BRENNAN: COURTED HIS SECURITY CLEARANCE REVOCATION.

ICHEOKU says whether he is the worst director of the Central Intelligence Agency ever, is but anyone's guess. But his conduct so far and throughout the ongoing Russian investigation, is far from being admirable; especially from a former director of the CIA who is supposed to be non partisan, aware that whatever he says carries some weight of credibility. His accusation that the president colluded with the Russians, that Putin might have something on the president and that the president committed treason, would be viewed by many people as having some credibility simply because a former CIA director said it. 

But undeterred, he continued as if he has a personal ax to grind with the president and thus became the face of the opposition. It is all in the appearance and regardless of his claim of being unbiased, the optics does not look good for both the president and the former CIA director. For the president, because the director of the CIA said it, hence there must be some truth to it; and to the former director, because it pitches him directly against the president, as the new leader of the anti Trump Washington DC swamp establishment. A situation made more troubling because as a director of the CIA, he did not find the evidence and now as a former CIA director, he hasn't run into the evidence either; yet he continued to make such unsubstantiated allegations and innuendos, suggestive of the president's complicity. He did not give the president a leeway at all; and an incensed president must fight back to preserve and protect his presidency, using whatever tools within his arsenal, including the revocation of the security clearance.

ICHEOKU strongly believes that it was John Brennan's desire to placate his side of the political divide, the far left nut jobs, who could not accept that their Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton was defeated by President Donald John Trump, that possessed him and took over his self censor. Having failed to stop Trump from being elected president as director of the CIA and the attempt to sabotage his presidency having now unraveled; he seems somewhat desperate in trying to regain some momentum and went out of his way to unnecessarily antagonize the president. Query, if John Brennan knew when he was President Barack Obama's director of the agency that the Russians were colluding with Trump, why didn't he stop them then. Why did he wait until the Russians "successfully colluded with Trump and put him in the White House," before starting to throw all these mud at Trump and claiming that he benefitted from the Russians. 

It is condemnable and it should be condemned by every person, who is without a dog in the fight; as a desperation on the part of John Brennan to make up a story which is not there nor true. As a former high level government official, he should have conducted himself with certain decorum and not be so obviously partisan and frontally attacking the president and for no justifiable reason. If he had the evidence of the president's malfeasance, why did he not take it to Robert Mueller or better still tender it for the American people to evaluate. But instead, it is one insinuation after another and you wonder what his objective really is and continuing. Therefore, any victim of his tirade would react as the president did react and is reacting, by at least removing him from the intelligence circle of his government, to start with. His arrest and trial for subverting the office of the president is also a possible reaction going forward. 

ICHEOKU says when a former CIA director said that the Russians might have something on the president and that the meeting which the president had in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin is treasonous, he has crossed the lines of fair comment and stepped into the adverse antagonist zone. He should therefore be seen and treated going forward as an enemy of the president fighting a declared war against the president. Otherwise, how else exactly does he want the American people to understand his utterances and actions? How does he want the ordinary Joe and Jill of America to react to it or the inference he wants them to derive from his statements. Treasonous is a serious crime and not a word of a friend, but an enemy who wants you dead since treason is a crime punishable with death. So why would the president not react to defend himself by playing every offense known to him.

The only rational thing deducible from his statements is that he wants the American people to infer that their former director of the CIA knows what he is talking about and is communicating to them that their president deserves the death penalty for colluding with the Russians; and in fact did collude with the Russians, a crime for which the death penalty is appropriate. Also the former CIA director stated that the Russians have something on their president and wants them to also believe their former CIA director on this too. John Brennan in fact wants the president executed and you wonder how such an overt enemy of the president would be allowed to continue to have an insider baseball knowledge about the workings of the president's government. He is a self declared enemy and threat to the president and should be kept as far away as possible from the presidency of President Donald John Trump as is humanly possible, and the revocation of his security clearance is a good place to begin the fight back. 

ICHEOKU says John Brennan is the face of the Washington DC swamp uprising. They are fighting against a president who they never wanted elected president nor wants him to succeed as president. A matter made worse because the president has promised to drain their swamp and is on course of doing it, which will leave many of them out and dry; and they do not want to be so dried out and hung out to die. They are increasingly getting desperate and are pulling every stop to thwart his presidency and save their swampy habitat. But there is time for everything and the time has come for the president to take both his pound of flesh against a bunch of human beings who endorsed Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton for president and also carry through with his promised clean up of the Washington DC swamp. With one security clearance now yanked away and many more to go, the Deep State has been put on notice that their days of manipulating every government will soon come to end; as their swamp will soon be fully and completely drained out and all swamp creatures will be dried out.

KOFI ANNAN: DEAD AT 80, RIP.

ICHEOKU says he had this sartorial demeanor that distinguished him from the rest of the pack, enhanced by his salt and pepper facial hairs. He was everything gentleman; but whether the African Ghanian succeeded as Secretary General of the United Nations, the opinion is divided, albeit evenly. ICHEOKU has no opinion on that matter and joins the rest of the world who knew him to celebrate his long well lived life. Kofi Annan died following old age related brief illness; he was 80 years old. Adieu Kofi.

ICHEOKU says rest in peace Queen and as she departed this world to live as legend in the hearts of her millions of fans as well as through her music. Adieu QofS.

THE QUEEN IS GONE: RIP ARETHA.


ICHEOKU says not the English Queen Eliza but American Queen Aretha Franklin, Queen of Soul music and she was good at it and rightly earned every laurel there is, there arising. Aretha Franklin died of pancreatic cancer; she was 76 years old.

ICHEOKU's favorite songs of hers include "A natural woman, Mary, don't you weep and everyone's favorite RESPECT. She sang for those who have souls and her songs touch the core of the being, especially for those who can feel and are passionate. With over hundred songs to her credit and about twenty top chats, she indeed touched the world and made peoples happy and their anguish lighter. 

Aretha Louise Franklin lived it up and she will be missed, admitted she will live on through her music, having transmuted into a legend. ICHEOKU says rest in peace Aretha. Adieu Queen.
