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.

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

#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.

BOASTFUL NEWT GINGRICH, THE NOMINEE?

It is deja vu once again as the revolving chair of Republican Party's presidential nominee wanna-be front runner status has yet again shifted. The erstwhile Speaker and the man so mean as to divorce his cancer-stricken wife on her sick bed, Newt Gingrich of Georgia, is now the latest prince on the saddle. Icheoku says how long his reign will last is anybody's guess; but no one should underestimate the man who rebounded after his entire campaign team left him in the middle of the water this summer and  nearly drowned his presidential nomination bid.

From Mitt Romney to Michelle Backman to Rick Perry to Herman Cain, this mercurial and constantly changing very ephemeral front runner status has now foist on Newt Gingrich. Icheoku says what an early Christmas gift this would be for President Barack Obama and the Democrats should Newt not be displaced within the next few weeks and goes ahead to secure the nomination. A man with such a trailer-load of baggage that even a novitiate Democratic candidate would make a mince meat of his candidacy, is now occupying Republican Party's presidential nominee status and may for the sake of discussion, magically win? This accident of winning possibility is what is principally driving Newt Gingrich despite the obvious fact that his chances of being elected president of the United States in a national election is nearly second to zero.  Also it would appear that Newt Gingrich developed amnesia and have simply chosen to forget his ethical violations, marital infidelities as well as complicity in the lobbying industry; foibles which do not bode well for the electorates. Anyway Icheoku dares the Republican Party to hand President Obama a swift victory in 2012 by nominating Newt Gingrich as their presidential candidate. 

Buoyed by his current front runner status, Newt has gone into overdrive, declaring that he is going to be the nominee and Icheoku wonders what a too full of himself, very arrogant man, this overweight Georgia man is. In his own words, Newt Gingrich said, “I’m going to be the nominee. It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee. And by the way I don’t object if people want to attack me, that’s their right. All I’m suggesting that it’s not going to be very effective and that people are going to get sick of it very fast. And the guys who attacked each other in the debates up to now, every single one of them have lost ground by attacking. So they should do what they and their consultants want to do. I will focus on being substantive and I will focus on Barack Obama.” 

Icheoku however beg to advise Newt Gingrich not to savor his polling victory just yet as we have seen so many other candidates occupy that front runner seat before his current ascendancy and where are they now? What a funny phony this man is; except of course, he is trying to psyche Mitt Romney out the competition, being the newest man on the block in the nomination process. Icheoku once again admonishes that the Republican Party does not have an electable presidential material this nomination season and would by default of any of these candidates nomination, hand President Barack Obama a second term. If only they have listened to the advise of Bush's brain, Karl Rove, and stayed off the tracks; but hey, their respective ego is more than ordinary hence the jostling. Oh Newt, how do you plan to secure the nomination and how are you so sure that you will be the Republican Party's presidential nominee?
