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

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.

"IN HIS TIME" - A BOOK OF DISTORTIONS BY DICK CHENEY.

Icheoku has not read and will not read and advise others not to read the latest attempt by former vice president to George Walker Bush, Dart Vader Dick Cheney to distort record and burnish his stewardship in that government. Mr Cheney took pleasure in blaming everyone else but himself that served in that administration for all the foibles of that ill-fated Bush/Cheney government that brought more harm than good to Americans and damaged us globally. The snippets so far are not a correct account of what transpired in that government, as witnessed by those millions of us who watched as the most ideological driven government America ever had, unleashed indescribable things on both Americans and the world in general. 

So for Dick Cheney to now attempt to rewrite history or in anyway try to punt the blame on all others but himself is a great disservice to all those presently alive and the future generation who would study that government in which he was the most powerful vice president America ever had. Dick Cheney piled up on Colin Powell; did not spare Condoleezza Rice and now says that Hillary Clinton would have been a better president than President Barack Obama? According to his assessment, "perhaps she (Hillary Clinton) might have been easier for some of us who are critics of the president (Obama) to work with." Icheoku says there must be something about black people that ticks Dick Cheney off and makes his heart sputter as his two most criticized and identifiable foes in his book are all blacks. Now for him to say that "it would have been easier for his 'good ole boys' to work with Hillary Clinton than Obama suggests that the color of President Barack Obama is the principal reason why the Obama government has been so vociferously criticized by the rednecks of American right wingers and not that the president is not doing his best to man the tiller of state effectively. 

The good news for all civilized Americans and bad news for all the Dick Cheneys of America is that nothing can change the fact of what is - that a Nigger is occupying the White House; his tenancy runs till 2012 and is most likely to be renewed for the next four years thereafter. Until then, Icheoku urges you not to enrich Mr Halliburton any further by buying his memoir of distortions; boycott this his latest whitewash of his role in that infamous Bush/Cheney government in which he served as vice president for eight long torturous years. Please Americans, do not waste your money in buying or your time in reading "In My Time - a personal and political memoir by Dick Cheney with Liz Cheney" as its toxic content will only bring back memories of the nightmare that was that administration which everyone is trying so hard to forget and file away. Icheoku says Americans do not need to be reminded through a book by Dick Cheney of what that government was or the role played by any of the principal characters therein especially Dart Vader Dick Cheney.
