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.

AMERICA, ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER?

One guest of Icheoku's round-table discussion, postulated that November 4th, 2008 will be the D-day for the final testing of the IQ (intelligence quotient) of Americans! Another ensconced that November 4th, 2008 is a day for reckoning when America will finally prove that all the alleged progress made regarding race-relations in America is not a ruse but a reality. Yet another called it a referendum on America's magnanimity and ability to rise above crass idiocy to embrace what is right and good for the country. Of all the takes of our guests on NOvember 4th, 2008, the one articulation which stands out above all others was chosen by Icheoku as the most goal-directed of all. It came from one advertising consultant in San Francisco who succinctly articulated Tuesday November 4th 2008 as the day, America will be asked, are you smarter than a fifth grader?
Icheoku selected this as the pay-day line because this November 4th 2008 election is a test of smart voting, period! It is an election where America will decide whether the past eight years was what they bargained for and whether a vibrant, energetic, young, formidable and inspiring man will be traded for a sickly, angry, petite, old and uninspiring gnome. Only smart voting will yield the deserved result. One of our discussant asked an opposition to give him one single reason to vote for John McCain and the answer he got was that John McCain is an American. To this Icheoku says so also is Barack Obama!
Whatever subterfuge the opposition may try to hide under, Icheoku's finding is that those opposing Senator Barack Obama are crass racists bigots who cannot stand to see a hybrid American in "their" White-house; pure and simple! Whether they call him elitist, too young, different, palling around, arrogant, socialist, wealth re-distributor, too eloquent, too intelligent, well-educated, celebrity etc our investigation affirmed that these acronyms represent inbred racism which political correctness prevents them from openly broaching. But listen to their spokesmen Rush Limbaugh, Sean "manatee" Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and doll-baby Lou Dobbs and you will conclude with Icheoku that these breed of white-supremacists do not mean well for this great country. The good news however is that these human scum-bags are nearing extinction and Senator Barack Obama's victory in November 4th, 2008 presidential election will be the final nail in their coffin. Icheoku believes that some of these beasts will be so pissed off with the anticipated result in November 4th, 2008 that they will jump off bridges or shoot out their brains in protest. This will be a very welcome relieve to the real great Americans who want a faster track to full real and meaningful integration and assimilation without regard to color of the skin. Icheoku will throw a party each time one of these despicable scondrels and rascals commits suicide and pray it will be several parties.
America, on Tuesday November 4th, 2008 prove that you are smarter than a fifth grader, vote with your brains! Vote real smart and for a reason. Vote for the future and not the past! Vote for hope and not despair! Vote for change and not more of the same! Vote because you want to effect the precipitous trajectory America was programmed by the last eight years of ineptitude! Vote that you may guarantee your children and children's children a bright and better future! America, on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008, VOTE FOR SENATOR BARACK OBAMA!
With Senator Joe Biden by his side, they will deliver for America all the promises which the last eight years has sabotaged. Only a smart vote for Senator Barack Obama will suffice; as any other thing is nothing but your inability to rise above your parochial self! You are better than that and let the privacy of the voting booth not be an illusionary shield for you to pervert the choice; as your conscience will be there with you as you check that ballot. Do not forever live to regret that you failed to do right when opportunity so called!
What are you voting for if not to disavow the disatrous George Bush's eight years? With your vote, tell the world that you are an American and you did not approval the last eight years!
