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.

A HERO IS BORN.

I am staying put. I will not run away and abandon my people. The fight is here in Ukraine. What I need are weapons and ammunitions, not a ride out of town like former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani - President Volodymyr Zelensky.

When fishing for love, bait with your heart and not your brain, because you cannot rationalize love. - Mark Twain.

JUST THE FACT.

In our country, you can shoot and kill a nigger, but you better not hurt a gay person’s feelings - Dave Chappelle

#MeToo MOVEMENT: A BAD NEWS GONE CRAZY.

"To all the women who testified, we may have different truth, but I have a great remorse for all of you. I have great remorse for all of the men and women going through this crisis right now in our country. You know, the movement started basically with me, and I think what happened, you know, I was the first example, and now there are thousands of men who are being accused and a regeneration of things that I think none of us understood. I’m not going to say these aren’t great people. I had wonderful times with these people. I’m just genuinely confused. Men are confused about this issue. We are going through this #MeToo movement crisis right now in this country." - Harvey Weinstein.


RON DELLUMS: UNAPOLOGETICALLY RADICAL.

"If it’s radical to oppose the insanity and cruelty of the Vietnam War, if it’s radical to oppose racism and sexism and all other forms of oppression, if it’s radical to want to alleviate poverty, hunger, disease, homelessness, and other forms of human misery, then I’m proud to be called a radical.” - Ron Vernie Dellums.


WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE - STEVE JOBS

“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

EVIL CANNOT BE TRULY DESTROYED.

"The threat of evil is ever present. We can contain it as long as we stay vigilant, but it can never truly be destroyed. - Lorraine Warren (Annabelle, the movie)


ONLY THE POOR WISH THEY HAD STUFF?

“I’m not that interested in material things. As long as I find a good bed that I can sleep in, that’s enough.” - Nicolas Berggruem, the homeless billionaire.

JESSE JACKSON, NUTS?

"Barack is talking down on black people on this faith based thing; I want to cut his nuts off"! With this whispered comment, Reverend Jesse Jackson has once again javelined himself unto the center-divide of political discourse in America. Jesse, Icheoku hopes that this is the last time you will be publicly manifesting your disquiet over the success of Barack Obama with the American people in politics. Admitted that a shifting of chairs has occurred amongst the African American community as to who speaks for black Americans but you should be a sportsman and deal with the reality on the grounds just like your friends, the Clintons! There is a new sheriff in town and his name is Barack Obama!

Most Americans understands that you secretly wish you could trade places with Barack Obama; that you covet his presidential nominee status so much that you will give one of your arms for it; that you wish you could rehabilitate yourself and endear yourself into the hearts of many Americans just like Barack Obama, but you must be very careful trading that waters. It is a heavenly ordained tsunami which if not carefully navigated could drown you forever. You must be careful in saying very sensitive things and Icheoku is doubtful if it was a misspeak or real churning of the heart which became public due to an accident! It was a conceited thought of yours which accidentally was voiced out, thanks to an open microphone!

Jesse, what did Obama say that infuriated you so much that you would like to cut off his balls (testicles)? Barack Obama was merely advising black American youths to stay in school and stop dropping out as sports and music is not the only way out of squalor. Jesse, you jumped off the cliff alleging that Barack Obama was talking down on black people; and your ulterior motive is discernible to any observant person. First, you know that once the black American youths heed Barack Obama's wise advise, that you will loose your day job of being a racial entrepreneur; wherein you shake down corporations in the guise of fighting for injustice in the black community. If black American youths stay in schools and graduate, they will be in a position to better nuance issues and not cling to you as their Messiah and spokesman. Or tell me what is hype about a fifteen year old "child" giving birth to another child? It is about time you left the scene quietly for the new Joshua to step in and lead black Americans to the promised land which Martin Luther King dreamt about over forty years ago. Icheoku understands that you are mad at being replaced at your job, being the alter-ego of black-men in America, by Barack Obama but you can at least put a face to your disdain? Why make your envy and jealous at Barack Obama's success so manifest that it becomes the talk of the whole world?
Icheoku
is also well aware that you are a double faced Janus; that you are an inveterate hypocritical adulterer who, while counselling President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky dalliance had your personal assistant pregnant with your baby. That as you are putting up face publicly as supporting Obama you may secretly be wishing him bad out of envy! That your immoral conduct of getting an unmarried African American girl pregnant while still married to your wife of so many decades was a betrayal to your wife's bones and you are a reverend? Who do you expect to later marry that your baby-mama and whuz up with that, Jesse? What kind of reverend are you? Are you just a hypocrite or the biblical pharasee, our Lord Jesus warned us to be wary of? That you had a child outside wedlock with a mistress was the type of bad example Barack Obama counselled agains;t so Icheoku can see where you were coming from - as an affected party with interest. This immorality alone was sufficient to have removed you from the scene a long time ago but you were given a second chance which you are now strenuously trying to blow away. You do not want the statusquo to change among black American youths so that your lord of the manor status among them will remain unfettered and securely assured. You are afraid of loosing your day-time job of being the unofficial prime minister of black Americans so that you can continue being the shakedown artist of the country? Your ego must not only be so bloated but bursting at the seams. You shouldn't have uttered the statement specially that aspect which made allusion to "cutting off Barack Obama's testicles". With a friend like you, one wonders really if Barack Obama needs any other enemy? It was too insensitive of you to have said what you said concerning our candidate of Hope & Change in America! Or don't you honestly believe in the message on the poster which you are clinging to here in this photograph? Your statement actually unmasked how you really feel inside about your now second-place fiddle role among black Americans. There is a time for everything, Jesse - you are so yesterday and Barack Obama is the now and the future; get it, Reverend Jesse Jackson?

  2. Spike Lee Takes Jackson to Task for Obama Comments

    Spike Lee says the Rev. Jesse Jackson's crudely phrased criticism of Barack Obama won't affect the Democrat's campaign, which the filmmaker expects to succeed at bringing "seismic" change to the world.


    "I don't think his (Jackson's) comments help anybody. It's just unfortunate," Lee said after taking part in a Television Critics Association panel.


    Lee predicted Obama would be elected in November.


    "When that happens, it will change everything. ... You'll have to measure time by `Before Obama' and `After Obama,'" Lee said during the panel. "It's an exciting time to be alive now."


    The presidency of the first African-American will ripple throughout arts, sports and more, said Lee, whose films include "Malclom X" and "Do the Right Thing."


    "Everything's going to be affected by this seismic change in the universe," he said.


    Lee attended the TV group's annual summer session to discuss documentaries he's making for ESPN Films, including one about Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.


    Jackson's comment about Obama came last Sunday during a break in Jackson's appearance on Fox News' "Fox & Friends." Unaware his microphone was on, Jackson told a fellow guest that Obama was "talking down" to blacks in speeches on morality at black churches; he also used a slang reference for wanting to sever Obama's testicles.


    Jackson apologized Wednesday for "hurtful and wrong" remarks. Obama's campaign offered a low-key response, accepting the apology and defending against the notion that he neglected issues important to blacks.


    Lee was more pointed when speaking of Jackson's remarks.


    Asked if there was any validity to the criticism of Obama, Lee replied: "No. Here's the thing: I don't know why people are questioning whether Barack Obama is black enough. For me, that's an ignorant statement."


    "There are middle-class, educated black people who speak the way he does. ... We have to try to move away from this so-called image of what black is, which is largely influenced by rap and that type of stuff," Lee said.


    "I'm for Mr. Obama," Lee said. "I think he's gonna win. And it's going to be a better day not only for the United States but for the world."
