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

“What you believe in can only be defined by what you’re willing to risk for it." - Stuart Scheller.

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.

FRANK T. CAPRIO OF RHODE ISLAND, A DISRESPECTFUL DEMOCRAT!

The other time it was the South Carolina hilly-billy Representative Joe Wilson who shamelessly shouted "You Lie" at the president while he was delivering an address at the House of Representatives chambers. The next time it was a Supreme Court associate Justice Samuel A. Alito who mouthed "That is not true" at President Obama while he was delivering a State of the Union address at the National Assembly. Now Frank T. Caprio, a democrat, running for Rhode Island governor has joined the bandwagon of these highly disrespectful 'racist' Americans who cannot live with the fact that a black-man is the president of America and have gone out of their ways to openly show disrespect to the president as well as the office which he represents.
Icheoku condemns this crass disrespect for the office of the president and President Barack Obama in particular through the thuggish misbehavior of these public officials. That Republican Party's mega-phone and administrator in chief, Rush Limbaugh, lampoons the president on a daily basis has become a fact of life in America and you wonder how much of such disrespect was shown to previous United States presidents; and not by members of even their own political party. Rhode Island governorship candidate Frank T. Caprio overstepped his bounds by this outburst and no amount of a political adrenalin justifies such demeaning language used against the president of the United States of America, Barack Obama. The fact that this human-being has not yet apologized for this uncalled for remark several days after shows that it probably was not a spur of the moment outburst, but something much like a smouldering dislike of the president which just boiled over. The good news however is that hundreds of Frank T. Caprios of America cannot change the fact of what America has become - a more tolerable and accommodating politically changed land and that after President Obama will follow, several more other minority presidents.
In the offending remark, Rhode Island governor wanna be, Frank Caprio, said "I never asked President Obama for his endorsement and what’s going on here is really Washington insider politics at its worst. He can take his endorsement and really shove it as far as I am concerned" Icheoku queries if the president's endorsement does not mean anything to this Sicilian and assuming he never asked for nor expected it as he claimed, why did he go out of his way and a step too far to use the 's' word against the person of the president and the office which he represents. Does this Italian not know that when he tells the president of the United States to 'shove it' that he was telling all Americans whose president Obama is, to also shove it? Anyway Icheoku will not belabor the impropriety of the impetuous outburst of Frank T. Caprio here, but will defer to the people of Rhode Island who on Tuesday, November 2, 2010 will decide whether they support such an unwarranted disrespectful attack on the president with their ballots. But definitely, this very governorship candidate is not what any reasonable state would want to have as their governor and in their government house; but hey, each state gets what they deserve and the state of Rhode Island has to decide and determine what they desire and deserve on Tuesday.
