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.

WHERE IS HUNTER?

ICHEOKU says isn't it kind of awkward that a fully grown man who is capable of entering into multi million and billion plus dollar deals with foreign business and country is being accused of impropriety for nearly three weeks now, yet nobody has seen him defending his honor by either denying it or explaining his role in the whole shebang. At least do it for his father in order to help remove the cobweb of corruption now hanging over him; but rather than do that, he just completely disappeared, leading to the effort to find him. 

ICHEOKU says if Hunter Biden was such a big boy, who rightly earned those contracts, why has he now suddenly chickened out from manning up and defending the controversial storm in which he and his father have found themselves. Instead of doing that, he ran away into the safety of hibernation, hoping that the corruption story will go away before he reemerges like groundhog. But the story is not going away and not as long as Joe Biden remains in the competition for nomination of the Democratic Party and if he succeeds, until Election Day November 3rd, 2020. Unless he decides that time is not of essence, he needs to get off the bunker mentality and start now to explain to the American people what happened, in order to save his dad from further political bleeding. 

May be Hunter Biden knows that without his daddy, Joe Biden, that neither the Ukrainians or the Chinese would have ever taken any interest in him for purposes of laundering money or doing such big business deals. A fact made more complicated because Hunter Biden is a crackhead and not an expert in oil and finance; and therefore the least qualified person for both gigs. The president asked and ICHEOKU hereby re-echoes, WHERE IS HUNTER or does he not think that he owes American people some explanation about what went down. If Hunter Biden was not the son of Vice President Joe Biden, would anybody have given him even $1000 deal, talkless of billion plus, his heavily damaged mental health considered.  #WhereIsHunter.

KURDISH NORTHERN SYRIA: LET UNITED NATIONS SEND IN PEACE KEEPING FORCE.

ICHEOKU says so many people have been screaming themselves hoax that President Donald John Trump ordered American troop withdrawal from the northern Syrian boarder with Turkey, where Kurdish fighters are holding up. These people brand the president's order as a betrayal of those Kurds who fought along side the United States of American military to deny and deprive ISIS their previously established and held caliphate. 

The same today's screamers did not see anything wrong when former President Barack Hussein Obama did not see it fit to defend the same people from ISIS and watched as ISIS took over the neighborhood, completely overrunning it and establishing their caliphate in a large swath of land stretching from Syria to Iraq. President Obama said then that those Kurds, alongside the rest of the world, have to learn how to co-live with the fact of an Islamic caliphate and went further to technically order the United States military to stand down and not allow them to take the fight to the enemy. As a result, ISIS grew and expanded, taking a lot of territories spreading from Syria to Iraq. 

But suddenly,  all these Kurds' lovers are now crawling out from their dark dank hiding places to register their great displeasure at the commander in chief for ordering that American military should come back home to their families, having finished the job commanded, dislodged ISIS from their caliphate. ICHEOKU says supports the president's ordered withdrawal and adds, if not now, when? 

There is never a convenient time, nor would there ever be a time when withdrawal of troops will be warmly received by the opposing forces; and America cannot remain there forever. Like Iran once rightly put it concerning Iraq, they are in the neighborhood in perpetuity; while any foreign forces there shall one day get tired and pull out and return to the country they come from. This is the hard fact of the matter, where we are now; as the troops must now come home, having finished their primary assignment to uproot ISIS. Not to do so will be creating another near permanency of American stationed troops in another foreign soil; as American forces are still in Germany and South Korea after over five decades since they first moved in. 

The United States of America cannot continue to do the work which the entire world ought to and should be doing. There is a United Nations Organization, a world body, which is saddled with world issues and which should be carrying the load, maintaining peace in hot flash points, including in contested boards between countries throughout the world. The Northern Syrian boarder should not be an exception, especially in a world aspiring for globalization, yet wants only America to be shouldering the entire burden of maintaining fragile peace between peoples and countries; particularly in cases of ancient intractable tribal disputes, where people hate each other with passion and are mortal enemies from thousands of years. American taxpayers and military cannot continue to solely bear the cost or remain the police force of the world, especially when the world does not subsidize their effort nor show genuine appreciation for what they do. 

Turkey as a country also has its own security needs and should do what it considers in the best interest of securing its boarders and protecting its territorial integrity, as well as assuring the safety of its Turkish people; admitted that in the process, some eggs might be broken to make the omelette. It is also a fact that nearly every country in the world has their own minority populations and that not every minority population that aspires statehood and to be a self governing independent country, must achieve the status objective. So, until there is a meaningful way to resolve the Kurds desire to form an independent country, for all the Kurds spread throughout the region, in Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Kazakhstan, a need to maintain relative peace in that region is desirable. So, whatever it takes to keep a lid on the simmering problem and in order to avoid a total breakdown of law and order, including yielding the boarder, is worthwhile an effort. 

The world, including America, should make sure that whatever Turnkey does going forward, will not amount to another Armenian genocide of the Kurds, and that way assure  a reasonable somewhat resolution of the impasse. But whatever happens, American military must not be made the buffer or canon fodder of any unraveling situation there, should Turkey decide to make an incursion, regardless. America and Turkey are both NATO members and they cannot fight each other just because of some ethnic Kurds agitating for independence. Life is about the balancing of interest, which always trumps emotional sentiments. 

Yes, it is true that the Kurds helped with the fight against ISIS, but America cannot become their protectors and guardians forever, as that will simply be too much to ask for in return. Therefore let the world body step in and work out an arrangement, where all the parties involved could have a relatively fair settlement of their dispute. The United Nations can declare the area a disputed territory and have a United Nations Peace Keeping Force stationed there to keep the peace. They will also have to assure Turkey that no terrorist will be allowed to strike them from the Kurdish area and also downplay the Kurds desire for an independent country, at least for now, until such other future amicable settlement or resolution of the matter becomes possible. 

The expectations of the Kurds must be tampered down and the threatening posture of Turkey must also be contained and that way, their centuries old enmity can be somewhat contained and prevented from boiling over. But anyone asking that American forces not be withdrawn is being clever by half and not proffering any sensible meaningful solution to the crisis and therefore causing more harm than good. Many of those people are globalists, who had no problem when the troops were sent into battle without Congressional authorization, but now they do not want the same troops to come back home to their families just because there is money to be made, fighting needless wars and policing hostile foreign boarders. 

ICHEOKU reinstates that the only way all the push for wars and more wars by American war mongers and war profiteers can end is the re-institution of the draft. That way every American will have a skin in the game and those Washington DC military industrial complex beneficiaries of war, would have their sons and daughters in the military and will have to think twice before canvassing for more wars, because they know that they will be exposing their wards to possible loss of lives and limbs, as well as mental depreciation. Let the globalist United Nations Organization step in and take over global problem and allow America to rebuild its own country. Enough. ICHEOKU therefore supports the president's decision to bring back home the troops to their families and if ISIS raises its head again, send in the fighter jets to blast them back into oblivion, like the president said, case closed.

JOE BIDEN AND SON ARE STONE COLD CROOKED - PDJT.

ICHEOKU says why did President Barack Hussein Obama allow Vice President Joe Biden to run wild with milking his presidency to the max. Until the Biden's Ukrainian and Chinese scandals are fully investigated, the veneer of corruption shall continue to overshadow Joe Corrupt Biden all the way till the end of time. Avoiding the question or intimidating reporters aint gonna cut it; so the earlier Joe Biden explains what happened the better for him. #InvestigateTheBiden.

JOE CORRUPT BIDEN: WHEN IS IT GONNA BE?

ICHEOKU says when will Joe Corrupt Biden hands up from the ongoing Democratic Party's presidential primaries and make way for a more acceptable candidate to emerge. The party cannot afford to have another presidential candidate in 2020 with a halo of corruption hanging over his head gas it did with Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton in 2016. One corrupt candidate in 2016 is enough already, as the Democratic Party is not a party of solely corrupt people, as this two people are suggesting by their actions. Joe Corrupt Biden must therefore stand down and let the party look at a different direction. Say no to corruption; reject a corrupt candidate. Joe Corrupt Biden, not good for America. 

BERNIE SANDERS: PACK IT UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

ICHEOKU says at nearly 80 years old, straggly silver-haired grandpa Bernie Sanders must admit the fact that nature is the ultimate humbler and that he cannot fight the fact. He is healthy enough for his age, but no longer healthy enough for the rigors of a presidential primaries and presidential election campaign, talkless of the challenges of the presidency itself, in the tall order he miraculously secures a victory. He is very fortunate to be still standing and walking on the strength of his own legs, as many people his age are either already dead or in the hospice or senior citizen homes under elderly care. 

But he is 78 years old plus and still pushing it and entirely on his own energy, unaided; which is a miracle unto itself. So, he must know that his sunset is nearer today than it was in 2016 when he blew his golden opportunity to step into the White House by that "we are tired of hearing about the damn emails" comment, which he made during his presidential primaries debate with Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton. He was winning that primaries and coasting to an assured nomination, until he pawned it away to Hillary Clinton by that comment and with it sealed his fate and foreclosed his dream of ever becoming the president of the United States of America. 

So, he knows and now his heart is sending a clear SOS message to him that it is time to pack it up and stop wasting his time in the 2020 jostling, because his opportunity came and went without him ceasing it in 2016. ICHEOKU says in his heart of hearts, he must be regretting blowing away that singular opportunity which he had against Hillary Clinton in 2016 over the damned 33,000 deleted and bleach washed emails; and wishing he never spoke those words, while bemoaning his fate of "had I known." 

Anyway, let posterity write Bernie Sanders as it sees fit; but now the most important matter is the heart health of grandpa Bernie Sanders and hopefully he too is seriously thinking about it and asking himself what is more important, the presidential primaries or his life. A smart man would chose the later and Bernie Sanders is not dumb; since he has to first be alive before dreaming about a presidency, which will never happen because his time came and went in 2016. ICHEOKU wishes BS a quick recovery; get well old grandpa.

ON NOVEMBER 3RD, 2020: HE WINS A SECOND TERM.

ICHEOKU says good policies rather than unquenchable hatred wins elections. The Democrats have been exposed for who they are, phonies who go to Iowa and chow down beef steaks and come to California and pretend to be anti cow and anti meat vegetarian buffs. American people are tired of their bullcrap and are sticking with a fully resolved man whose word in Iowa is repeated verbatim in California and not different folks different personalities. Away with FAKE and in with REAL; the Democrats should make way for a genuine president, the peoples president, the fabled blue color billionaire president and not disturb his groove. FOUR MORE YEARS. #MAGA_KAG2020.

IMPEACHMENT SAGA: NANCY PELOSI ACTED IN BAD FAITH.

ICHEOKU says why did Madam Speaker peremptorily sign on to impeachment of the president before her own self-set ultimatum to the president to release the transcript expired. She gave the ultimatum on Monday, stating that the president must release everything related to his telephone conversation with Ukrainian president to Congress by Thursday or every bet will be off. But she decided to pull the impeachment card on Tuesday, more than forty eight hours before her own set due date for the requested transcript to be turned over, expired. 

ICHEOKU says something is definitely not right with the picture, of Madam Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, who by this I-move, has now proved herself incapable of being trusted. How can anyone, including the president, going forward, ever trust her to keep her words, since this joker now shows that her words does not mean a thing. Where is her candor and where is her credibility and resolve to make her words count, her bond. It is from the little things which people do that the big things which they will or could do are decipherable. So, if she could misled the president in this way about her bad intentions to sign unto his impeachment, what else is she capable of. 

She demanded that the president release the transcript on or before Thursday and therefore she is by courtesy and candor, expected to have waited for the Thursday to come before taking further steps in the matter. Any further action which she takes post Thursday would have been based on an ultimatum which was not complied to and American people would understand. But to so surreptitiously spring this impeachment surprise on the president and the American people is somewhat demeaning of her and paints her in a very bad light  of a vengeful witch out to suck blood and acting out of spite. 

It shows that the Democrats are up to no good, that they are carrying out a political hit job on the president; that they are acting in bad faith and not in the overarching interest of the American people. Madam Speaker's pronouncement is in furtherance of their HATEFUL anti TRUMP agenda, which has now gone too far. They do not care what happens to the country and they have no interest in healing the divisiveness which their action is causing in the country. They are rather exacerbating the chasm between political divides and making it impossible for the country to come together. Their position seems to be whatever works to help them achieve their objective, to either remove the president or tarnish his presidency beyond repairs. 

The Democrats are mad at the president for defeating their candidate Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton and also for erasing Barack Obama's legacy; and now they want to erase his presidency. As a result they are using every and all means necessary to mission-accomplish on this goal, including manufacturing one crisis after another, just to throw everything at the president hoping that something sticks. 

But to these anarchists, ICHEOKU says beware of what you wish for as the tiger whose tail you have been constantly touching might spring a surprise mauling attack. The Democrats have not recovered since they lost the election of November 8th, 2016 and are in the process of losing yet another one come November 3rd, 2020. But instead of marshaling out better peoples' orientated programs to defeat the president, they are bent on the ridiculous and ludicrous; needlessly and ceaselessly attacking the president, erroneously believing that is what the American people expect of them. 

From Russian collusion to Comey being fired to meeting privately with Putin in Helsinki to now this Ukrainian cockamamie, it never ends. It is shameful and it is disheartening to watch these crazed out wild eyed liberal anarchists hijack the Democratic Party, totally and completely emasculate their leaders and force them off their legislative agenda and into such a hate-filled anti Trump mania. 

Just a first term Congresswoman from New York 6 named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, holding Democrats, including Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has been in Washington DC for over three decades, hostage to her fantastic policy ideas that will never see the light of day. Why these leaders of the Democratic Party are afraid of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, such that they are tremblingly beholden to her and in whatever her inexperienced political heart desires, is beyond believe. By deferring to AOC in this servile manner, it shows the extent to which politicians can go in order to keep and maintain power. 

Madam Speaker is afraid that the little rascal will gang up against her leadership of the House, so she kowtowed to her wishes to impeach Trump by signing unto an impeachment adventure to no where, as no High crimes and misdemeanors were committed by the president to warrant such a move. Why would a veteran politician like Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi acquiesce to such ridiculous move, fully aware that whatever her legislative chamber  decides will be squelched in the Senate. 

It is pitiful and it is sad seeing Madam Speaker, not honoring her words and not caring about the implications of the journey which has pronouncement has forced the country to embark on. She would have waited for Thursday to come and if by then the president failed or refuses to comply, then she can proceed with whatever manner of congressional sanction, including impeachment, which her hearts desired. But to sign off on an impeachment saga without even first reading the complaint on which it is predicated, to see if it rose to the level of the statutorily mandated high crimes and misdemeanors, is a shame. 

Madam Speaker should also remember that what goes around have a way of coming around and that she will not remain Speaker forever, neither will her party be in charge of the House forever; and that the Republicans might someday desire their well deserved pound of flesh. 

What she did is not a good way to provide an assured leadership of the House of the people, except of course she doesn't care nor gives a damn about the other side that make up the House. It is possible that at her advance old age, she is planning on retirement and decided to play an all or nothing cutthroat politics of vendetta, against the president. A president, whose only sin was defeating their Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton, whose turn it was to be handed the keys to the White House, except that the American people said not under their watch. 

Anyway, we shall see where the latest development gets everybody; but Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi should be rest assured that the declared war will be fought with every sinew and fibre in the body of the president and his Team MAGA, a 63 million strong real Americans, as we cannot stand idly by hands akimbo and watch as our mandate is stolen or our duly elected president needlessly tarnished or or his presidency dented just because of spite and envy. 

Say no to impeachment as the complaint does not rise to High Crimes and Misdemeanors, the benchmark which triggers impeachment. It is a sad day for our republic as some crazed out nut jobs are trying to ruin it for everyone. Democrats are slowly but determinedly destroying our democracy, one tenet at a time an dit is about time American people fought back. #SayNoToImpeachment.

TRUMP'S SPEECH AT THE UNITED NATIONS: AGAIN, HE DELIVERED.

"Mr. Secretary-General, distinguished delegates, ambassadors and world leaders, seven decades of history have passed through this hall in all of their richness and drama. Where I stand, the world has heard from presidents and premiers at the height of the Cold War. We have seen the foundation of nations. We have seen the ringleaders of revolution. 

We have beheld saints who inspired us with hope, rebels who stirred us with passion and heroes who emboldened us with courage all here to share plans, proposals, visions and ideas on the world's biggest stage. Like those who met us before, our time is one of great contests, high stakes and clear choices.

The essential divide that runs all around the world and throughout history is once again, thrown into stark relief. It is the divide between those whose thirst for control deludes them into thinking they are destined to rule over others and those people and nations who want only to rule themselves. I have the immense privilege of addressing you today as the elected leader of a nation that prizes liberty, independence and self-government above all

The United States, after having spent over $2.5 trillion since my election, to completely rebuild our great military, is also, by far, the world's most powerful nation. Hopefully it will never have to use this power. Americans know that in a world where others seek conquest and domination, our nation must be strong in wealth, in might and in spirit.

That is why the United States vigorously defends the traditions and customs that have made us who we are. Like my beloved country, each nation represented in this hall has a cherished history, culture and heritage that is worth defending and celebrating, and which gives us our singular potential and strength

The free world must embrace its national foundations. It must not attempt to erase them or replace them. Looking around and all over, this large, magnificent planet, the truth is plain to see. If you want freedom, take pride in your country. If you want democracy, hold on to your sovereignty. And if you want peace, love your nation.

Wise leaders always put the good of their own people and their own country first. The future does not belong to globalists. The future belongs to patriots. The future belongs to sovereign and independent nations who protect their citizens, respect their neighbors and honor the differences that make each country special and unique.

It is why we in the United States have embarked on an exciting program of national renewal. And everything we do, we are focused on empowering the dreams and aspirations of our citizens. Thanks to our pro-growth economic policies, our domestic unemployment rate reached its lowest level in over half a century.

Fueled by massive tax cuts and regulations cuts, jobs are being produced at a historic rate. 6 million Americans have been added to the employment rolls in under three years. Last month, African-American, Hispanic-American and Asian-American unemployment reached their lowest rates ever recorded. We are marshaling our nation's vast energy abundance and the United States is now the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world.

Wages are rising. Incomes are soaring. And 2.5 million Americans have been lifted out of poverty in less than three years. As we rebuild the unrivaled might by the American military, we are also revitalizing our alliances by making it very clear that all of our partners are expected to pay their fair share of the tremendous defense burden, which the United States has borne in the past.

At the center of our vision for national renewal is an ambitious campaign to reform international trade. For decades, the international trading system has been easily exploited by nations acting in very bad faith, as jobs were outsourced, a small handful grew wealthy at the expense of the middle class. In America, the result was 4.2 million lost manufacturing jobs and $15 trillion in trade deficits over the last quarter-century.

The United States is now taking that decisive action to end this grave economic injustice. Our goal is simple. We want balanced trade that is both fair and reciprocal. We have worked closely with our partners in Mexico and Canada to replace NAFTA with the brand new and hopefully bipartisan U.S./Mexico/Canada Agreement.

Tomorrow, I will join Prime Minister Abe of Japan to continue our progress and finalizing a terrific new trade deal. As the United Kingdom makes preparations to exit the European Union, I have made clear that we stand ready to complete an exceptional, new trade agreement with the U.K. that will bring tremendous benefits to both of our countries.

We are working closely with Prime Minister Boris Johnson on a magnificent new trade deal. The most important difference in America's new approach on trade concerns our relationship with China. In 2001, China was admitted to the World Trade Organization. Our leaders then argued that this decision would compel China to liberalize its economy and strengthen protections to provide things that were unacceptable to us and for private property and for the rule of law.

Two decades later, this theory has been tested and proven completely wrong. Not only has China declined to adopt promised reforms, it has embraced an economic model dependent on massive market barriers, heavy state subsidies, currency manipulation, product dumping, forced technology transfers and the theft of intellectual property, and also trade secrets on a grand scale.

This is just one example. I recently met the CEO of a terrific American company, Micron Technology, at the White House. Micron produces memory chips used in countless electronics. To advance the Chinese government's five-year economic plan, a company owned by the Chinese state allegedly stole Micron's designs, valued it up to $8.7 billion.

Soon, the Chinese company obtains patents or nearly an identical product and Micron was banned from selling its own goods in China. But we are seeking justice. The United States lost 60,000 factories after China entered the WTO. This is happening to other countries all over the globe. The World Trade Organization needs drastic change.

The second-largest economy in the world should not be permitted to declare itself a developing country in order to game the system at others' expense. For years, these abuses were tolerated, ignored or even encouraged. Globalism exerted a religious pull over past leaders, causing them to ignore their own national interests.

But as far as America is concerned, those days are over. To confront these unfair practices, I placed massive tariffs on more than $500 billion worth of Chinese-made goods. Already, as a result of these tariffs, supply chains are relocating back to America and to other nations and billions of dollars are being paid to our treasury.

The American people are absolutely committed to restoring balance to our relationship with China. Hopefully we can reach an agreement that will be beneficial for both countries. But as I have made very clear, I will not accept a bad deal for the American people. As we endeavor to stabilize our relationship, we are also carefully monitoring the situation in Hong Kong.

The world fully expects that the Chinese government will honor its binding treaty made with the British and registered with the United Nation in which commits China to protect Hong Kong's freedom, legal system and democratic ways of life. How China chooses to handle the situation will say a great deal about its role in the world and the future.

We are all counting on President Xi as a great leader. The United States does not seek conflict with any other nation. We desire peace, cooperation and mutual gain with all. But I will never fail to defend America's interests. One of the greatest security threats facing peace-loving nations today is the repressive regime in Iran.

The regime's record of death and destruction is well-known to us all. Not only is Iran the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism but Iran's leaders are fueling the tragic wars in Syria and Yemen. At the same time, the regime is squandering the nation's wealth and future in a fanatical quest for nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them.

We must never allow this to happen. To stop Iran's path to nuclear weapons and missiles, I withdrew the United States from the terrible Iran nuclear deal, which has very little time remaining, did not allow inspection of important sites and did not cover ballistic missiles. Following our withdrawal, we have implemented severe economic sanctions on the country.

Hoping to free itself from sanctions, the regime has escalated its violent and unprovoked aggression. In response to Iran's recent attack on Saudi Arabia oil facilities, we just imposed the highest level of sanctions on Iran's Central Bank and Sovereign Wealth Fund. All nations have a duty to act. No responsible government should subsidize Iran's bloodlust.

As long as Iran's menacing behavior continues, sanctions will not be lifted. They will be tightened. Iran's leader will have turned a proud nation into just another cautionary tale of what happens when a ruling class abandons its people and embarks on a crusade for personal power and riches. For 40 years, the world has listened to Iran's rulers, as they lash out at everyone else for the problems they alone have created.

They conduct ritual chants of death to America and traffic in monstrous anti-Semitism. Last year, the country's supreme leader stated Israel is a malignant, cancerous tumor that has to be removed and eradicated. It is possible and it will happen. America will never tolerate such anti-Semitic hate. Fanatics have long used hatred of Israel to distract from their own failures.

Thankfully, there is a growing recognition in the wider Middle East that the countries of the region share common interests in battling extremism and unleashing economic opportunity. That is why it's important to have full normalized relations between Israel and its neighbors. Only a relationship built on common interest, mutual respect and religious tolerance can forge a better future.

Iran's citizens deserve a government that cares about reducing poverty, ending corruption and increasing jobs, not stealing their money, to fund a massacre abroad and at home. After four decades of failure, it is time for Iran's leaders to step forward and to stop threatening other countries and focus on building up their own country.

It is time for Iran's leaders to finally put the Iranian people first. America is ready to embrace friendship with all who genuinely seek peace and respect. Many of America's closest friends today were once our greatest foes. The United States has never believed in permanent enemies. We want partners, not adversaries.

America knows that while anyone can make war only the most courageous can choose peace. For this same reason, we have pursued bold diplomacy on the Korean Peninsula. I have told Kim Jong-un what I truly believe. That like Iran, his country is full of tremendous untapped potential. But that to realize that promise North Korea must denuclearize.

Around the world, our message is clear. America's goal is lasting. America's goal is harmony. And America's goal is not to go with these endless wars. Wars that never end. With that goal in mind, my administration is also pursuing the hope of a brighter future in Afghanistan. Unfortunately the Taliban has chosen to continue their savage attacks.

We will continue to work with our coalition of Afghan partners to stamp out terrorism and we will never stop working to make peace a reality. Here in the Western hemisphere, we are joining with our partners to ensure stability and opportunity all across the region. In that mission, one of our most critical challenges is illegal immigration which undermines prosperity, rips apart societies and empowers ruthless criminal cartels.

Mass illegal migration is unfair, unsafe and unsustainable for everyone involved. The sending countries and the depleted countries and they become depleted very fast. But their youth is not taken care of and human capital goes to waste. The receiving countries are overburdened with more migrants than they can responsibly accept.

And the migrants themselves are exploited, assaulted and abused by vicious coyotes. Nearly one third of women who make the journey north to our border are sexually assaulted along the way. Yet here in the United States and around the world, there is a growing cottage industry of radical activists and nongovernmental organizations that promote human smuggling.

These groups encourage illegal migration and demand the erasure of national borders. Today I have a message for those open border activists who cloak themselves in the rhetoric of social justice. Your policies are not just. Your policies are cruel and evil. You are empowering criminal organizations that prey on innocent men, women and children.

ou put your own false sense of virtue before the lives, wellbeing and countless innocent people. When you undermine border security, you are undermining human rights and human dignity. Many of the countries here today are coping with the challenges of uncontrolled migration. Each of you has the absolute right to protect your borders.

And so, of course, does our country. Today we must resolve to work together to end human smuggling and human trafficking and put these criminal networks out of business for good. To our country, I can tell you sincerely we are working closely with our friends in the region including Mexico, Canada, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Panama to uphold the integrity of borders and ensure safety and prosperity for our people.

I would like to thank President Lopez Obrador of Mexico for the great cooperation we are receiving. And for right now putting 27,000 troops on our southern border. Mexico is showing us great respect and I respect them in return. The U.S., we have taken very unprecedented action to stop the flow of illegal immigration.

To anyone conducting crossings of our border illegally, please hear these words. Do not pay the smugglers. Do not pay the coyotes. Do not put yourself in danger. Do not put your children in danger. Because if you make it here, you will not be allowed in. You will be promptly returned home. You will not be released into our country.

As long as I am President of the United States, we will enforce our laws and protect our borders. For all of the countries of the Western hemisphere, our goal is to help people invest in the bright futures of their own nation. Our region is full of such incredible promise, dreams waiting to be built and national destinies for all.

And they are waiting, also, to be pursued. Throughout the hemisphere there are millions of hard working patriotic young people eager to build, innovate and achieve but these nations cannot reach their potential if a generation of youth abandon their homes in search of a life elsewhere. We want every nation in our region to flourish and its people to thrive in freedom and peace.

And that vision we are also committed to supporting those people in the Western hemisphere who live under brutal oppression such as those in Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela. According to a recent report from the U.N. Human Rights Council, women in Venezuela stand in line for ten hours a day waiting for food.

Over 15,000 people have been detained as political prisoners. Modern-day death squads are carrying out thousands of extra judicial killings. The dictator Maduro is a Cuban puppet protected by Cuban bodyguards hiding from his own people while Cuba plunders Venezuela's oil wealth to sustain its own corrupt communist rule

Since I last spoke in this hall, the United States and our partners have built a historic coalition of 55 countries that recognize the legitimate government of Venezuela. To the Venezuelans, trapped in this nightmare, please know that all of America is united behind you. The United States has vast quantities of humanitarian aid ready and waiting to be delivered.

We're watching the Venezuelan situation very closely. We await the day when democracy will be restored, when Venezuela will be free and when liberty will prevail throughout this hemisphere. One of the most serious challenges our countries face is the specter of socialism. It's the wrecker of nations and destroyer of societies.

Events in Venezuela remind us all that socialism and communism are not about justice, they are not about equality. They are not about lifting up the poor. And they are certainly not about good of the nation. Socialism and communism are about one thing only. Power for the ruling class. Today I repeat a message for the world that I have delivered at home.

America will never be a socialist country. In the last century, socialism and communism killed 100 million people. Sadly, as we see in Venezuela, the death toll continues in this country. These totalitarian ideologies combined with modern technology have the power to excise new and disturbing forms of suppression and domination

For this reason, the United States is taking steps to better screen foreign technology and investments and to protect our data and our security. We urge every nation present to do the same. Freedom and democracy must be constantly guarded and protected both abroad and from within. We must always be skeptical of those who want conformity and control.

Even in free nations, we see alarming signs and new challenges to liberty. A small number of social media platforms are acquiring immense power over what we can see and over what we are allowed to say. A permanent political class is openly disdainful, dismissive and defiant of the will of the people. A faceless bureaucracy operates in secret and weakens democratic rule.

Media and academic institutions push flat-out assaults on our histories, traditions and values. In the United States, my administration has made clear to social media companies that we will uphold the right of free speech. A free society cannot allow social media giants to silence the voices of the people.

And a free people must never, ever be enlisted in the cause of silencing, coercing, canceling or blacklisting their own neighbors. As we defend American values, we affirm the right of all people to live in dignity. For this reason, my administration is working with other nations to stop criminalizing of homosexuality and we stand in solidarity with LGBTQ people who live in countries that punish, jail or execute individuals based upon sexual orientation.

We are also championing the role of women in our societies. Nations that empower women are much wealthier, safer and much more politically stable. It is, therefore, vital not only to a nation's prosperity but also is vital to its national security to pursue women's economic development. Guided by these principles, my administration launched the Women's Global Development and Prosperity Initiatives

The WGDP is the first-ever government wide approach to women's economic empowerment working to ensure that women all over the planet have the legal right to own and inherit property, work in the same industries as men, travel freely and access credit and institutions. Yesterday I was also pleased to host leaders for a discussion about an ironclad American commitment protecting religious leaders and also, protecting religious freedom.

This fundamental right is under growing threat around the world. Hard to believe, but 80 percent of the world's population lives in countries where religious liberty is in significant danger or even completely outlawed. Americans will never fire or tire in our effort to defend and promote freedom of worship and religion.

We want and support religious liberty for all. Americans will also never tire of defending innocent life. We are aware that many United Nations projects have attempted to assert a global right to taxpayer funded abortion on demand right up until the moment of delivery. Global bureaucrats have absolutely no business attacking the sovereignty of nations that wish to protect innocent life.

Like many nations here today, we in America believe that every child born and unborn is a sacred gift from God. There is no circumstance under which the United States will allow international entities to trample on the rights of our citizens, including the right to self-defense. That is why this year I announced that we will never ratify the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty which would threaten the liberties of law-abiding American citizens.

The United States will always uphold our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. We will always uphold our Second Amendment. The core rights and values America defends today were inscribed in America's founding documents. Our nation's founders understood that there will always be those who believe they are entitled to wield power and control over others.

Tyranny advances under many names and many theories but it always comes down to the desire for domination. It protects not the interests of many but the privilege of few. Our founders gave us a system designed to restrain this dangerous impulse. They chose to entrust American power to those most invested in the fate of our nation, a proud and fiercely independent people.

The true good of the nation can only be pursued by those who love it. By citizen who is are rooted in its history, who are nourished by its culture, committed to its values, attached to its people and who know that its future is theirs to build or theirs to lose. Patriots see a nation and its destiny in ways no one else can.

Liberty is only preserved. Sovereignty is only secured. Democracy is only sustained. Greatness is only realized by the will and devotion of patriots. In this spirit is found the strength to resist oppression. The inspiration to forge legacy. The goodwill to seek friendship and the bravery to reach for peace.

Love of our nations makes the world better for all nations. So to all the leaders here today, join us in the most fulfilling mission a person could have. The most profound contribution anyone can make. Lift up your nations. Cherish your culture. Honor your histories. Treasure your citizens. Make your countries strong and prosperous and righteous.

Honor the dignity of your people and nothing will be outside of our reach. When our nations are greater, the future will be brighter. Our people will be happier. And our partnerships will be stronger. With God's help together we will cast off the enemies of liberty and overcome the oppressors of dignity.

We will set new standards of living and reach new heights of human achievement. We will rediscover old truths, unravel old mysteries and make thrilling new breakthroughs. And we will find more beautiful friendship and more harmony among nations than ever before. My fellow leaders, the path to peace and progress and freedom and justice and a better world for all humanity begins at home.

Thank you. God bless you. God bless the nations of the world. And God bless America. Thank you very much."

IMPEACHMENT: NANCY BUCKLES UNDER THE WEIGHT OF AOC.

ICHEOKU says the weight of the pressure was simply too much for Madam Speaker to continue to bear and she threw her hands up in the air in surrender. The Squad wins and once again proves who is in effective control of Congress, despite a Speaker in name only.  But why does madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi fear this quartet of rabble rousers this much. 

Just one tweet from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chiding the Democratic Party leaders for their inability to impeach Trump; blaming them rather than the president, for the recurring situation in Washington. That was all it took, as nothing changed from President Donald John Trump of today and the President Donald John Trump of since the last Midterm election of last November 2018. 

So, to prove herself tough enough and to curry AOC and her Squad's favor, Madam Pelosi finally did what she had previously said that she would not do, baring the establishment of factual evidence of wrong doing by the president. To say that this evidence is still no where to be established is simply over-flogging the issue. Imagine what just a few words can force somebody to do, somersault and declare a previously tabooed subject, now a fair discussion subject. Impeach the president for what - where are the high crimes and where are the misdemeanors. 

But with this capitulation by Madam Speaker, what next would the restive four anti Trump women in the Congress force her to do; and fearing the erosion of her power hold, will readily oblige them. All it took was just one AOC's tweet and Nancy came around; because the same circumstance of no fact which existed since 2016 still exists till today in 2019 and you wonder why the sudden change of tone. 

ICHEOKU says by the time the whole nonsensical Witch Hunt 2.0 concludes, the first being the Russian Hoax, whether or not the president is impeached, the exercise will be known as the only legislative achievement of the 116th Congress under Madam Speaker. But the sudden about-turn shows that when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sneezes, Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi catches cold.  Isn't it rather unfortunate and sad that this wild eyed crazed out four daughters of Eve have hijacked the Democratic Party and remade it in their own likeness. 

JOE BIDEN IS NOT THE ONE - ILHAN OMAR.

ICHEOKU says the verdict is in, Joe Biden is simply too old to excite or inspire voters outside those dudes at the diner. The Squad have decided and as is always the case, they will have their way with the Democratic Party establishment on who eventually becomes the party's presidential nominee. 

The Squad wants the party to go a different way, away from the usual tired, old hierarchical order, which often sees the Democratic Party repeatedly going into their bag of tricks to dust up rustic and nearly ossified persons as their candidate for elections. But the Squad says not this time and the much younger, fiery firebrand wing of the Democratic Party is likely to prevail. 

Recall that it was the wild eyed, crazed out Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who first floated the anti Joe Biden sentiment just a few months ago; stating that the Democrats must look in a different direction and away from the old guards to find a nominee for 2020. According to her, a forward looking party which the Democratic Party is supposed to be, cannot be looking to the past to pick a presidential candidate to lead them into the future. 

In her own words, AOC said, "Joe Biden is not a pragmatic choice. If you pick Joe Biden just to win that dude in the diner, the cost will make you lose; because you will depress turnout as well. And that’s exactly what happened to 2016. We picked the logically fitting candidate, Hillary Clinton, but that candidate did not inspire the turnout that we needed.” 

As if on a cue, in a well choreographed script rehearsal, Ilhan Omar read the riot act to Joe Biden, stating that he will not be the party's presidential nominee in 2020. She was blunt about it and in a matter of factly speaking, said that "Joe Biden is not the ONE. It remains for Rashida Tliab and Ayanna Pressley to now add their voices before the full frontal effort to toss Uncle Joe Biden out of contention, will become the official position of the Squad. When it is done, their mission to stop Joe Biden will go into overdrive. Interpretation, old Uncle Joe Biden is toast. 

In her exact own words, Omar said: "There are few people who fit into the kind of progress that we all want to see in this country and I would say he, Joe Biden, is not one of them. I think it has been very clear to many of the people who have been creating the kind of movement that is exciting generations, that we want somebody who really has a plan that is going to tackle a lot of the systematic challenges that we have, and he doesn't." 

Their male counterpart Julio Caesar added, "I'll just say that if we're going to win this election in 2020, it's going to be because we excite people, and we can't excite them with Joe Biden," Howard Dean also added his voice to the anti Joe Biden swell, stating that if the Democrats field two old white guys as their ticket,  they will lose. Then came the debate-questions leaking lady, Donna Brasille, who said it is all about the women in 2020 and in her own words, “I am looking forward to seeing a woman on the ticket — top, bottom, I don’t care. We are ready for the change.” 

ICHEOKU says the wild eyed, crazed out feminists females of American far left should be cautions anyway, as the Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton's experiment in 2016 did not pan out very well as Americans rejected her candidacy. But who knows whether Elizabeth Warren can upend and outdo her by achieving the impossible in 2020. ICHEOKU says does not think so; as Pocahontas is not a formidable force enough to challenge the real deal main force of nature, President Donald John Trump, admitted she might cause some serious ripples. So long Joe, as the real face and force behind the Democratic Party, the SQUAD, has decreed that your days are long since gone and are better seen only through the rearview mirror.

TRUMP/MODI: THE AMERICA AND INDIA NEW BROMANCE

ICHEOKU says like McDonald's, am lovin it; as such interpersonal relationship between the two men goes a long way. Both men have undiluted love for their countries and also have mutual adulation for each other. It is not a stagecraft, but a deep seated affection and admiration for one another. Translation, both countries benefits; as so many issue could be simply resolved and very quickly with a phone call. ICHEOKU says congratulations to both President Donald John Trump and Narenda Modi for developing such a camaraderie. 

UKRAINE SCANDAL: WHAT DOES JOE BIDEN KNOW?

ICHEOKU says all the attempt at a cover up will not succeed, as suspicion of official corruption has now been permanently attached to Joe Biden. American people deserves better and they deserve to know what Joe Biden knows and when he knew it. A matter made worse because there is a contradiction between him and his son Hunter Biden, about his knowledge that his son was engaged with an oil business in Ukraine. 

A relapsing drug addict, who has no special knowledge about the business of oil, but was hired anyway by an oil company because of who he is and paid millions of dollars for it. Then add the sweetheart billion dollar China deal and you wonder how any father could have been without knowledge, as his son, who is somewhat moronic, being a drug dependent addict, sealed all these business deals. It was such a quid pro quo deals that made it easy for China to eat America's lunch in unfair trade deals between the two countries, as government corruption made officials to sell their country short and their soul to the devil as they looked the other way while China ravaged American companies and businesses. 

ICHEOKU says if any case calls for investigation by a Special Counsel, this one certainly so qualifies. Therefore the business deals carried out by Hunter Biden in both Ukraine and China ought to be investigated in an effort to root out possible corruption in government.  President Donald John Trump was harassed by the Democrats for a none existent Trump Tower project deal in Moscow. But here is Joe Biden's son, with a well documented provable business deals in both Ukraine and China, yet the Bidens are not being harassed or investigated. Were it Don Jr, would the treatment be the same? Investigate Joe Biden and his family now and have this matter resolved once and for all. If not, the scandal will cast a pall of corruption on his candidacy just like the 33,000 deleted emails never left Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton in 2016. Say no to leveraging of official positions. #InvestigateJoeBiden and do it NOW before the Iowa caucus.

JOE BIDEN: INVESTIGATE THE UKRAINIAN SCANDAL.

ICHEOKU says but what did his boss President Barack Hussein Obama do when he learnt of it or was he incohoot and implicitly signed off on the scandal. American people need to know and the Congress must get to the root of the matter. 

Joe Biden using his office as the Vice President to enrich his family members is a violation of the Emolument Clause, so let the investigation begin and begin right now. With such a cloud of corruption hanging over his head like a halo, old Joe Biden has lost the moral grounds on which to stand to seek the presidency of the United States of America. 

ICHEOKU says investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden's Ukrainian scandal and do it now before the Democratic Party's primaries.

ED BUCK: HILLARY CLINTON'S FRIEND, HIS CUP RUNNETH OVER.

ICHEOKU says as with everything in life, a time comes when every luck is exhausted and it becomes time to account for one's misdeeds. So it happened that after killing two black gay men by injecting them with overdose methamphetamine, that the Democratic Party honcho and fundraiser extraordinaire, a friend of Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton and donors to many Democratic Party's candidates, including Kamala Harris, is finally arraigned in court of criminal justice to stand trial for two murders and one attempted murder. Ed Buck stands accused of two murders and he is a friend of Hillary Clinton. So Sad.

JUSTIN TRUDEAU: I WORE BLACKFACES, DEAL WITH IT.

ICHEOKU says what a great pretender who frequently scolded other people who say in public what he lives with outside camera. lights and action. A pampered and well sheltered life as is ever deserving of a son of a lawyer and former Canadian Prime Minister. He is here mocking black people while pretending that he loves them.
