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.

MITT ROMNEY'S BROWN YOU ARE DOING A HECK OF A GOOD JOB MOMENT?

In a manner reminiscent of former President George Bush's unmeritously praising of then FEMA director Scott Brown during Katrina, the Republican Party's presidential candidate, the Mormon bishop from the state of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, has lavished praises on his beleaguered presidential campaign, calling it very effective. Icheoku decries this assessment as one of those calls which Mitt Romney makes without a full and complete real appraisal of the situation on the ground. Any independent observer and watchers alike, who have followed the many potholes the Mitt Romney's campaign have struggled to dig themselves out of these past weeks, would agree that the Mitt over-exaggerated and over-compensated his campaign when he called it "very effective." Americans know what the real deal with the Romney's campaign is; and only a less truthful assessor would, taking all that have transpired with the campaign during the week just ended into consideration, still go forth to term it as very positive.

Icheoku is an ardent supporter of President Obama and anything the other side says or does that would continue to highlight their many negatives on why they should not be elected, including not being truthful with Americans, makes my day. However on the occasion of Mitt Romney wrongly assessing the parlous state of his campaign or being completely in denial of the real situation on the ground, gives us cause to ponder if Mitt Romney actually lives in a reality-tinged world or he just have his own world where reality means a different thing.

Anyway, any follower of his lackluster campaign so far would agree that the Mitt is not "human" as his pronouncements, actions and mannerisms has not met that expectations required of a man running for the highest office in our land and who truly desires to be elected as our president. From his self-acclaimed "acute conservative" tag, to his 'I don't really care about the poor of the society,' to his refusal to release his tax records, to his choosing of extremist fundamentalist Paul Ryan as his vice presidential candidate, to his refusing to run on his record as Massachusetts governor, to his unending flip-flops on issues and to his latest and craziest "47%" comment, one is forced to think that this Mitt is not deep enough to be president. When his gaffes on foreign relations is factored in, then America has waiting to be their president, a man who would plunge the country into further and unending hostilities with the rest of the world.

The solution is simple, his candidacy MUST BE REJECTED as too toxic for America. No more wars, no more over-heating the world polity, no more irrational foreign policy initiatives, no more gloom and doom for Americans as well as the rest of the world.

Until November, despite Romney's claim that he is 'got a very effective campaign which is doing a very good job and doesn't need a turnaround,' Icheoku is not in a position to correctly decode the type of campaign being ran by Team-Romney; but suffice it to say that it is closer to Peggy Noonan assessment of "a rolling calamity". This also begs the question, did Mitt Romney personally run Bain Capital or he did it by proxy otherwise why are those alleged successes of Bain capital not being replicated and resonated in his presidential campaign which for most part has entered an ICU. But Mitt Romney lives in a different world and probably is seeing it from the perspective of a mediocre who reached thus far, defeating other more conservative Republicans to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Republican Party and might be satisfied with simply wearing the badge of the 2012 Republican Party presidential candidate. Only time will tell.
