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

DO YOU?.

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

HEDGE YOUR CRISIS.

Never get in bed with a woman whose problems are worse than yours. - Chicago PD.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

'The best way to keep peace is to be ready to destroy evil. If you Pearl Harbor me, I Nagasaki you.' - Ted Nugent.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

Empathy is at the heart of who we are as human beings. - Cardinal Matthew Kukah.

WORDS ON MARBLE.

"Birth is agony. Life is hard. Death is cruel." - Japanese pithy.

REPENT OR PERISH - POPE.

Homosexuality is a sin. It is not ordained by God, therefore same sex marriage cannot be blessed by the church - Pope Francis.

CANCEL CULTURE IS CORROSIVE.


FOR SAKE OF COUNTRY.


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.

SYRIAN PROVOCATION, LET THE BOMBARDMENT BEGIN NOW.


Icheoku says America MUST now put its money where its mouth is in order to continue providing the much needed deterrence to world's dictators and would-be despots alike. The blatant dare of the Assad Bashir's led Syrian government, which defied a clearly marked line in the sand of American President Barack Obama, who had categorically stated that using chemical weapon in the conflict in Syria will be considered by America as crossing the proverbial red line, requires a punitive response. President Bashir Assad, not once but now twice since the red-line was drawn, has called America's bluff by gassing his people and daring America to show that its words is still its bond and also still bankable. Icheoku says any further inaction or delayed response to this flagrant violation by the Commander-in-Chief of the strongest military in the world will be seen as bluster, hence the skies over Damascus and the entire Syrian geography MUST and SHOULD rain down some pulverising and punitive hellfire in response; and to send a clear message that America does not bluff. 


Such a 'shock and awe' aerial assault is what the killer-government in Damascus needs to see and feel, in order to be reminded that certain actions are considered a taboo and greatly frowned at, in such civil conflict or war as going on now in Syria. It is called rules of engagement and humans are not animals to be gassed or chemically burnt and scorched. Iraq's Saddam Hussein once gassed his people and it eventually snowballed into an invasion of his country and his forcible overthrow from power; and which culminated into his neck being yanked off his shoulders in the gallows. Icheoku says President Bashir Assad has already killed enough of his people - people he is meant to protect; and by now using chemical weapons on them and spraying them with poisonous killer gas, Icheoku has no other explanation of his action than an open invitation for the world led by America to show that it can still check the excesses of such midget and petty dictators. 

An American adage says 'you do not tell a man to go to hell except you are ready, willing and able to send him to hell'; so since Bashir Assad has willingly refused to go to hell, it is about time he is hog-tied and dragged through the gates of hell into hellfire. This is the only meaningful desired and deserved response; which put in another way, is the crux of the matter with the present defiance of Syria's President Bashir Assad of a clearly laid down DO NOT CROSS LINE. Icheoku says only such a solid, devastating response is needed and called for and NOW in response to the Assad's government thumbing of nose at both America and the world. Icheoku agrees with America's Secretary of State John Kerry that what we saw last week in Damascus shocked our conscience; it also defies every code of morality. The action of Damascus despotic government led by President Bashir Assad in using chemical weapons against its own people is clearly a moral obscenity defined and cannot be tolerated or condoned. Now is time to send in the tomahawks and let the boys go do their thing with boots on the ground if that is what it will take to send a defining MESSAGE that gassing or chemically scorching civilians in a civil conflict is despotism too far. Icheoku says if Russia or China or even Iran has a problem with that, then let the third world war begin and with it, a healing of the world economy which shall inhere from massive rebuilding following massive destruction.
