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.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

"There is too much hate in America because there is too much anger in America." - Trevor Noah.

WORD!

A life without challenges is not a life lived at all. A life lived is a life that has problems, confronts problems, solves problems and then learns from problems. - Tunde Fashola.

NOW, YOU KNOW.

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

DO YOU?.

“What you believe in can only be defined by what you’re willing to risk for it." - Stuart Scheller.

HEDGE YOUR CRISIS.

Never get in bed with a woman whose problems are worse than yours. - Chicago PD.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

'The best way to keep peace is to be ready to destroy evil. If you Pearl Harbor me, I Nagasaki you.' - Ted Nugent.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

Empathy is at the heart of who we are as human beings. - Cardinal Matthew Kukah.

WORDS ON MARBLE.

"Birth is agony. Life is hard. Death is cruel." - Japanese pithy.

REPENT OR PERISH - POPE.

Homosexuality is a sin. It is not ordained by God, therefore same sex marriage cannot be blessed by the church - Pope Francis.

CANCEL CULTURE IS CORROSIVE.


FOR SAKE OF COUNTRY.


MAGA LIVES ON: NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER!

TWITTER IS BORING WITHOUT HIS TWEETS. #RestorePresidentTrump'sTwitterHandle.


WORD.

"If you cannot speak the truth when it matters, then nothing else you says matters.” - Tucker Carlson.

#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.

THE HIT LIST - our incredible but true story series:- Serie 7

1. Awesome art of mother-nature:


Is there any artist like mother nature? Is it when it chooses to make the sky the canvass or the seas or some mountain side. In this story the object of adore of mother nature is a tree which it had sculptured into a very delicate piece of fine art. Can you imagine the intricate weaving that went into this and the beautiful thing about the art is that it was done with a living tree - so it is all organic! Were this piece of art to be in Soethbys', Icheoku bets it will be a collector's item ranging in the millions of dollars but unfortunately a tree grows where-ever it pleases or better still in the yard or farm of whoever plants it. Going back to the first allusion that a tree grows wherever it pleases, this blogger have witnessed a tree-grower who could not grow a tree in a particular location despite the desire to so do. Anyway this piece of art is not in any gallery or private collector's home, so enjoy the sight - Happy viewing!

2. A werewolf in London?


This time it is for real! All the musical and movie adaptions are now out the window with this 11-year-old Pruthviraj Patil of where else but the land of perplexities India. He was born in Sangli a sleepy town near Bambay now Mumbai. His very ape like hairy condition called hypertrichosis is also known as Werewolf Syndrome - all his body including face and back with the exception of the soles of his feet and palms of his hands is entirely carpeted by thick dark hair.



3. Count yourself lucky!

Meet Mr. No Face! What would you do if you are faceless or wakes up one
morning to see that your face is gone -
hidden behind an over-sized tumour without any immediate palliative cure by medical science. Would you jump the bridge or pull the trigger or drink an overdose prescription drugs? What would you do yet you cry everyday because of some economic hardship or love misfortune. My friends, please wake up and count your blessings if only Mr. Jose Mestre of Lisbon Portugal is one tenth lucky to have a face just like you.

4. What a paradise on earth!

When last did you spend a night in a hotel? Have you ever had the privilege
of indulging yourself just once? Will you ever get the opportunity to so do during your lifetime. Now get ready and get going to the middle east city of Dubai. There you will see the only 7 star rated hotel of unparalleled luxury in the world. Hotel Burj Al Arab is one of a kind both in design, height and pure luxury. It is one of the pecks of well healed men and women of this world who like to indulge themselves. At $2000 per night for junior suites, now you understand?


5. Do you have a WC?


Where do you do your privates? Do you have a toilet in your house or do you go the old fashioned way - take it to mother nature in a little shrub coverings or behind a tree? If you have a contraption for a toilet seat is it comfortable? Does it sing, warm up your behind or massage it while you do your business? DO you have a state of the art loo which you proudly show-off to your visitors at the slightest whiff? Now meet what Icheoku would consider the mother of all that sees our private parts unhindered. This is what Icheoku calls, state of the art and if you have one, advertise it!


FYI: Until next Sunday when we come your way again, always remember what you pray for? The notorious American Taliban Fundamentalist James Dobson's Focus on the Family group prayed to their "god" to send down rain to mar Barack Obama's open-air acceptance speech at Invesco Stadium in Denver. However their "god" was sleeping and could only wake up after the beautiful convention speech was long over. Now it is answering their prayers late with Hurricane Gustav to stop their own evil Republican Convention slated for Monday, September 1, 2008 at Minneapolis! Who says "gods" do not answer prayers? The way to go, James Dobson and crew!
