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.

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

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.

PHIL SPECTOR, GUILTY!

The jury this time did not deadlock as they reached a verdict! Phil Spector 69, is guilty of second degree murder in the shooting to death of his companion, actress Lana Clarkson six years ago on February 3, 2009? Lana Clarkson, 40, star of the 1985 cult film "Barbarian Queen," died of a gunshot wound, fired through her mouth as she sat in the foyer of Phil Spector's mansion. The deceased had met Spector only few hours earlier to her death, at a nightclub House of Blues, where she worked as a hostess. At his first trial, a jury deadlocked with 10 favoring and 2 against his conviction in 2007.
Clarkson had accepted a chauffeured ride to Spector's home for a drink and three hours thereafter, she was killed. Icheoku asks, did Phil only brought this woman home so that he could kill her? Why would he do such a dumb thing or was it simply a prank that went awry? But a loaded gun in the mouth must be one heck of a prank? If it were suicide as the defence claims, who owns the gun and why would the deceased chose to kill herself after an evening out with Phil Spector and in his home? Luckily the chauffeur that brought them back home from the nightclub, was still within ear-shot when the shot was fired and upon racing back to the mansion, saw Spector emerge holding a gun and heard him say: "I think I killed somebody." Icheoku says what an overwhelming piece of evidence as this limo-driver do not have any reason to lie against Phil Spector, his loyalty is more weighted in Phil's favor than the lady's; after-all it is Phil who pays his tab?
The defence plans to appeal the verdict based on their assumed judge's erroneous ruling, that allowed five women from Spector's past to testify that Spector had a history of threatening women with guns when they tried to leave him. Unfortunately for Phil Specter, he could not ride the co-tails of other Hollywood celebrities' unexplained acquittals including O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake and Michael Jackson? Icheoku says justice appears to have been finally served in a celebrity case, after so many other celebrities who beat apparent water-tight raps? May the soul of Lana Clarkson find rest in this conviction; and now her killer will be put away to do some quiet time introspection of what went down on that early hours of February 3, 2003!
