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.

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.

REBUBLICANS, DID NOT CARE ENOUGH ABOUT PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR REFORM?

The health-care system of United States of America which has, for over a century now, defiled every attempt at its reformation, was at last, finally reformed. With a 219 - 212 majority votes, the Speaker Nancy Pelosi led House of Representatives passed the Senate version of the bill; which now awaits the presidential signature for it to become the law of the land.
Regrettably however, no one single Republican voted for this bill - to give access to the previously denied, which is the principal innovation in this bill. Icheoku says, this makes the Republican Party, an already "Party of NO" now also an anti-peoples organisation which wants people to die who do not have insurance coverage, a lack caused not by choice but because they cannot afford it?

The Republicans by this their stubborn "obstructive resistance till death" to this bill, have shown that they would rather people continue to die in tens of thousands of treatable common diseases, which their lack of insurance, make it impossible for them to see a doctor and receive treatment. Icheoku says is it possible that the Republicans' wilful attempt to deny millions of American people access to health-care by obstinate 'just say 'No', based on a sinister ploy to tacitly get rid of all the poor minorities of America who disproportionately do not have insurance, so that they can live here by themselves alone? Do the Republicans want to continue enjoying all the bounties of life alone, including the gift of advanced medical science; with many of their 'good ole white 85 year boys, whose lives are certainly almost over, having elective hip-replacements surgeries; and their similarly aged bimbos on Botox treatments overdrive, when 16 year old poor minority kid from the Hood, cannot see a doctor when he needs one because his parents are too poor to afford insurance coverage?

Anyway the Republicans unyielding siege mentality over this bill and whatever may be other underlying and suffocating factor/s that drove their fanatical lunacy that tried but woefully failed to abort this health-care reform, is now a mere heap of history. Like all other historical issues, this will be left for posterity to someday look back to the day in America when health care was provided for all Americans without even a single Republican Party house member voting 'YEAH' to so co-authorise. Icheoku hopes that they and their relatives will never find the need or the face to enjoy the monumental benefits that will necessary follow the passed health reform bill. The Republicans kept true to their identity as a herded membership "Party of NO!" Once again, congratulations Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi for mid-wiving this legislative giant through; and to President Barack Obama, you are one heck of a genius for seeing this initiative through despite the Senate Scott Brown setback election in Massachusetts. Mr. President and Madam Speaker, Icheoku says, well-done for a job well-done!
