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.

REPUBLICANS, THE PARTY OF NO, SAYS NO AGAIN TO A RELIGIOUS CENTER?

Republicans do not like President Barack Obama because he is "That One" and wants him to fail at all cost so as to discredit him. This is the vehement position of the Party of No; as virulently championed by their spokesman in chief and titular head, the acidic Rush Limbaugh.
It is also on record that their membership in the national assembly have not voted in support of any of the president's initiatives to fix what was broken under the last Republican administration in our country. Without mincing words, Icheoku says their lock-step opposition to Obama is primarily because he is occupying "their" White House; which they profess daily, they cannot wait to take back from him? Icheoku says, only in their dreamy heads.
Republicans have also advocated shipping some certain skin-color Americans out of this country back to Africa in order to fix what they believe have broken socially in the country because of them? Icheoku says but these people were never asked to be brought here forcibly in dungeon steam boats; and would have preferred they were never separated from their kits and kins in Africa.
Republicans do not want gays and lesbians any where around America, because in their warped mind, these people are biological mistakes and lesser human-beings who do not deserve any co-habitation with the rest of their humanity? Icheoku asks but what becomes the fate of former Vice President Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter and Newt Gingrich's nice?
Republicans do not want Hispanics because they are "illegals" and taking their "jobs;" and want them all shipped out of this country across the boarder to the south? But no one is talking about other "illegals" from the boarder up north and across the pond from their motherland Europe.
Republicans do not want the poor and hungry in their midst because they are destitute, unwanted and undeserving of their modern society; and would rather they are all shipped off to somewhere desolate in tundra Alaska or possibly fed the sharks? Former Republican Mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani experimented with the idea while mayor of New York.
Now the same Republicans are ready to even throw the Constitution under the bus just to push their racist bigotry agenda through as they once again, say no to First Amendment Freedom of religion! They do not want American Muslims to build a religious center of worship in Manhattan and possibly would prefer that all Muslims are shipped out of the country to the Middle East because, according to them, they are "terrorists?" Icheoku says, what a broad brush they are using for a people of faith of more than 1.1 billion people; while selectively choosing to forget that Timothy McVeigh was a White Christian; but we refuse to let his ignoble Oklahoma City bombing taint all White Christians of America.
Icheoku asks, but what about the Native Indians or haven't the Republicans figured out where they would rather ship them off to?
The real question that ought to be asked by every sane person in America is, why is it that these Conservative Republicans do not want any other person in this country; which even belonged to some other people according to historical facts. Put in another way, Icheoku says, what does these people really want that is propelling their current acerbic commentaries in the land? Icheoku says, they possibly want a whites-only puritan American society with a monolithic culture and outlook, with no "half-humans" or other unsightly "That Ones" to disturb their sight? That is the type of America these hate-filled Republicans advocates of divisiveness are clamoring for; but Icheoku says it is rather too late now as races and cultures have become so commingled that segregating them is no longer possible or feasible. All that is left now is for all of us to learn how to continue to tolerate and live with one another in love, peace and harmony; and together we can make America's future brighter and stronger.
