A TRUE PATRIOT AGAIN - Joe Biden

Today marks another landmark in the long career of President Joe Biden. He dropped out of the race for re-election... he demonstrated his patriotism again - nation over self and the greater good over personal interest. I was among the first to call for Biden to step down as a patriotic act after his disastrous debate outing. This is leadership, this is TRUE patriotism, this is a man that loves his country above all things... he is willing to relinquish the most powerful seat in the world for the greater good of his fellow citizens...

Biden did not say like his rival, it is either me or the nation will burn - literarily quoting Donald J. Trump . Biden dropped out, not because he failed to deliver during his first debate but because there is no recovery from old age. It is time to go and rest and enjoy the rest of his long life with his wife who has stood by him all the while. I do not know a more patriotic fellow American than President Joe Biden - in the face of an accident that claimed the lives of his first wife and one of his children, in the face of the death of his first son to cancer, in the face of the disgraceful and humiliating act of his second son, he refused to meddle - perhaps as a consequence of the imbalance in Biden's family through his commitment to his country. He stood by the first American president of African descent faithfully for eight years and helped stabilize Obama's government at the beginning when the radical racist right led by Mitch McConnel who would not help Obama in plugging the bleeding of the nation created by the RNC under Bush Jr.

The fate of the United States, and obviously, our world hangs on who wins the next election in the US. This is because of the nation's strategic position in world affairs... it is the richest nation by far, and the most powerful and influential in terms of military and technology might.

Whoever the DNC chooses to replace Biden is yet to be known notwithstanding that he endorsed Kamal Harris, his vice. The choice is clear for Americans in November. A choice between a convicted rapist cum 34 times felon versus a potential candidate with a clean record. Choice between Me first, versus you first; a choice between "the nation will burn" if I lose versus "I accept the will of the people" if I lose.
Americans should resurrect and wake up from their amnesia and remember where the nation was in the last 12 months of Trump's first tenure... The nation was bleeding jobs, unemployment went up to over 6%, and hundreds of thousands of Americans died unnecessarily because they had a president who called a global crisis a hoax, instead of working with an outstanding set of professionals at NIH. A lot of actions during Trump's first tenure were transactional and some crooked world leaders pressed that sure button of Trump many times and got what they wanted. What is more dangerous about Trump's second coming is that he would rule as a dictator. The Supreme Court, whom he appointed three justices to, in an attempt to pay Trump back for solidifying a conservative court for generations, ruled that all his presidential acts are protected under the law, including the January 6 insurrection, and they solidified that position that Trump has that license. Undecided Americans, especially the independent voters, who often decide who becomes the president, need to weigh their options well... there are too many things at stake... the rise of authoritarianism, women's right to choose, global peace will go south (Iran will get a nuclear weapon with the Iran deal gone - courtesy of Trump; Palestinians should forget about a two-state solution and Ukraine should be ready to surrender to Putin and Taiwan should ready for China's invasion - there would not be another chance like this, China would say), millions will be deported and that will impact the economy (America depends on the cheap labor of immigrants to grow its economy), freedom of speech will be gone (you will not read stuff like this from me again if Trump wins), the environment will be further destroyed by a few greedy Americans who wants to take from nature at any cost, we will see an implementation of Project 2025 and the SCOTUS will go gaga; the court will the appointment of at least two or three new justices appointed - expect they will all be MAGA extremists, worse than Alito and Thomas .... I can go on and on... Americans should think twice in ... November will be a watershed moment in the history of America....

WHO SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT HAVE NUKES IN OUR WORLD TODAY?

I quote the father of nukes himself, Albert Einstein , “ Mankind invented the atomic bomb , but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap ”… No nation should have nukes. If some would, then any nation who want should be able to… current situation creates a power imbalance because those who have it are seen as extremely powerful, and those who don’t are extremely weak nations… Here is a list of nations with nukes – declared and undeclared: U.S., China, Russia, Pakistan, India, France, UK, Israel, and North Korea . These countries host nukes from other countries – Germany , Italy , Türkiye , Belgium , Netherlands and Belarus … Many of USSR ’s former regions like Ukraine and Kazakhstan had nukes, and were tricked to give them up, a decision they all regret today. It is known that Japan , though do not have nukes, have capabilities to develop and launch them within a short time, even from the space. Why can’t other nations have nukes? Ownership of nukes is why Iran is holding the...

STATE OF THE NATION - Nigeria takes one step forward, and ten steps backward...

I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...
