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

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.

REVEREND TERRY JONES, PLEASE NO KORANIC INFERNO ON 9/11!

As if the crisis facing America is not enough already - a faltering economy and two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, an American Taliban and extremist right winger Reverend Terry Jones has decided to pour fuel unto a burning fire. His gasoline of choice, the Islamic Koran; which he has decided to burn in order to prove a point and knowingly provoke another anti-America reactions from the one billion strong Muslims of this world. Icheoku says if this is not one stretch of taking the freedom of speech one step too long, nothing else so qualifies and we hereby call on the government to do everything possible including obtaining an injunction to prevent this intolerant extremist from stoking an already smouldering Muslim fire of resentment. That someone has the freedom of speech does not guarantee that person the right to shout fire in a crowded theater and this Koranic inferno is one heck of such unwanted nuisance at this time; when America is trying to make good with the Muslim world.
Icheoku's position is that constitutional freedom of speech is not sacrosanct to anarchical mischief hence this scheduled burning of Islamic Koran on September 11th, must and should not be allowed to go on. But regrettably, the Republican Party and their mega-phone in chief, the man who runs the Republican Party and Tea Partier Numero Uno, Rush Limbaugh have kept mum and have failed, refused to condemn this errant pastor whose intended act is capable of endangering the lives of thousands of Americans scattered throughout the Muslim world; especially that of our soldiers waging wars in two Muslim countries of Iraq and Afghanistan. Icheoku says Reverend Jones is not in a position to know which religion is of the devil and has no right to proclaim Islam as the devil's religion since by his impending provocative act, he seems to be a devil worshipper seeking the blood of the innocence to spill from possible reactionary riots and protests. Which true man of God would be this provocative, instead of being the meek peace makers they are known for; and we hereby call on the Federal government to take a closer look at Reverend Jones 50 members Dove World Outreach Center, a church that preaches anti-Islam philosophy to make sure it is not another David Koresh Branch Davidians getting ready for their end times?
To Reverend Jones remarks, "when do we stop? How much do we back down? How many times do we back down? Instead of us backing down, maybe it's to time to stand up. Maybe it's time to send a message to radical Islam that we will not tolerate their behavior;" Icheoku says the Koran does not belong to the radical Islam wing of the Muslim world but the entire over one billion men and women who knock their foreheads on the ground in total submission to the will of Allah (God). It is such a parochial thoughtless action trying to make a statement to a few bad Muslims and they provoking the anger of the many good ones and should be discouraged. What a crass agent provocateur this supposed man of God or is it the Devil, is; and in the words of the US Attorney General his planned action is both idiotic and dangerous and should be condemned by every sane American. Except he is just trying to start another fire for the Obama administration to deal with. Lets hope that this so called Reverend was merely interested in fame or should we say rather notoriety and now that he has got his fifteen minutes of it, he should quietly back down and spare America's State department and the Pentagon added chore to their already filled plate. Go get some life Reverend Terry Jones and let sleeping dog to lie; say no to desecration of Muslim's sacred book of faith, the Koran - there should be no Koranic inferno in Gainsville Florida!
