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.

TRUMP AND CARSON TICKET, A WELCOME GAME CHANGER?

Icheoku says any presidential election, going forward, in America, must in fact truly reflect the true colors of America as minorities of America will no longer tolerate nor accept an American  White House that is in total control of two aging white men. Such future presidency must as of necessity, comprise of at least either a white man and a black man or a white man and a woman or Latino or Asian or any other racially mixed ticket. But the days of only aging white men assuming that the white house is theirs alone for keeps is long since over. Especially not after President Barack Obama's soon to be eight long years high profile visibility as president and commander in chief of the American armed forces. 

Americans, particularly blacks and other minorities, are now used to having one of them in the White House. So to suddenly change this equation by totally eliminating a black face or woman or other minorities of America, from the White House will rather be a tough one to swallow. Any thinking presidential candidate therefore must keep this in view while choosing its vice presidential candidate and canvassing for American votes, especially blacks and other minorities of America votes. But to completely relegate blacks or other minorities out of the race will suggest that the happenstance of Barack Obama on the American political landscape was a mere chance occurrence. An America that is now used to seeing and having a black president and a first family that is black, cannot suddenly feel normal without another minority in the White House.

To this effect therefore, Donald Trump will do himself a whole lot of good by choosing a black person as his vice presidential candidate. Icheoku implores Donald Trump, the potential Republican presidential candidate nominee, to inoculate his candidacy with a shot in the arm by securing the black voting bloc which choosing a black person as his running mate will surely guarantee. Fortunately enough, Dr Ben Carson has continually been sustaining some serious traction in the ongoing Republican Party's primary run and should be seriously considered by Donald Trump as his potential running mate. That way, Donald Trump will pull a fast one from underneath Hillary Clinton's rug by delving into the black voting bloc which is traditionally pro the Democratic Party. Icheoku says every black person in America will think twice before voting for an all white Hillary Clinton's ticket (herself already a minority cannot afford to choose another minority) as against a Donald Trump's ticket which parades one of their own. Moreso Dr Ben Carson as of his own right, is eminently qualified to be president. Admittedly, some critics will say that both men are not politically experienced, but Icheoku maintains that well qualified aides will help them get over this. Icheoku says a Donald Trump and Ben Carson ticket is a winnable ticket; they should run and they will win. Go Donald; Go Ben!!!
