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.

CONRAD MURRAY'S GUILTY VERDICT, NOT BY JURY OF HIS PEERS?

Icheoku asks was he singled out for prosecution just because of who he is and that the prosecutor's "child-molesting and hated" Michael Jackson was involved? Icheoku asks were Dr Murray a white doctor, would the prosecution have brought charges against him and if yes, why were those doctors involved in Keith Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith, Tina Marie and a host of Hollywood death by overdose not prosecuted; and in London no one has told of any ongoing prosecutorial action against the doctor who prescribed Amy Winehouse the drugs on which she overdosed? Anyway Dr Murray is just another black man who has to be put away and a jury technically not his peers, sat in judgment over him and convicted him.

Icheoku says technically not his peers because eleven of the twelve jurors were not black people and so would not understand the peculiar hard rock and the deep sea of a place Murray, a brother, was facing trying to provide service to another brother, a distrust Michael pigeonholed by an unforgiving society that condemned him for a trumped-up child molestation charges from which he never really recovered until he died. Icheoku says a jury of his peers should ordinarily be black people who have experienced America for what it is and not people of other colors. Moreso the judge is not black and so is the prosecutor and the defense; and you wonder whether the medical doctor got a fair shake for his unintentional conduct that led to death of someone already on death-row, all things considered. As far as Icheoku is concerned, Michael was killed and already dead the day they accused him of child molestation, which forced him into a completely secluded weirdo-world which turned him into pills-dependent brittle personality.

Admitted Murray did what professionally he should not have done, but Icheoku strongly opines that he should not have been prosecuted in the first place and at best on a lesser charge of misdemeanor negligence. So it is not justice served when a black doctor is convicted for unintentional death of another black man since no such prosecution has ever been carried out in other death by overdose drugs cases prior. However, Icheoku believes that the defense team insulted the intelligence of the jury when they tried to pin culpability on a dead Michael as the person who injected himself with the killer-Propofol. Icheoku says the Michael the world knew and watched until death took him, could not have personally injected himself when he had a highly paid physician in the person of the accused on standby to give him his medications as and at when needed. Anyway, an imprisoned man is still better than a dead man and hopefully Dr Conrad Murray would do his time and upon release, seek a rehabilitation both within his profession and society at large.
