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.

LAMAR ODOM'S SCARE, BLAME NO ONE BUT LAMAR ODOM HIMSELF.

Icheoku says unfortunately a society where nobody likes to take responsibility for their actions are now looking for somebody to blame for the drug overdose of a 35 year old man, who is sane, was married and also fathered some children too. A man who voluntarily checked into a brothel and blew a whopping $75,000 in a tharee day sex orgy with prostitutes, binging on drugs, alcohol and other things offered on the menu, including herbal Viagra or Reload; he overdid himself and ended up comatose and someone is making excuses for his action? Icheoku says please give me a break that either Kobe Bryant or Khloe Kardashian or any other one else is the babysitter of Lamar Odom and should have stopped him from walking the plank if that was what he choose as a means of his exit. 

With this staggering and mind boggling disclosure, whether he even deserves pity and sympathy from the general public, especially those Americans who cannot afford food to eat, becomes questionable. An amount which could have easily helped pay off an indigent student's college loan or even help feed some homeless hungry Americans scattered everywhere in America or made into a charitable donation to some good causes.  Icheoku says imagine what $75,000 could do for you, particularly those down and out Americans who are instead living the American nightmare. But no, he would rather waste it on heightened immorality, cavorting with prostitutes and indulging in banned illegal substances simply because it was his money? It was his money and therefore he reserves the right to and can do whatever the heck he wants to with it including selfishly over-indulging himself to the point of now near death. Yet somebody is making excuses that it was someone's else fault and asking people to empathize with him? 

Icheoku says but for our common humanity, Lamar Odom does not deserves sympathy nor pity; but should in the same manner make his latest ordeal his personal and private matter too. Michael Jackson overdosed on drugs. Whitney Houston same; ditto her daughter with Bobby Brown, Kristina; and now Lamar Odom is nearing the exit aided by the same illegal substances. Icheoku queries when will enough be finally enough before we can stand up to these addicts and ask them to seek and get help? Why do we as Americans continually make excuses for these crackheads who think that they are on top of the world by being doped and inebriated? So many people have died as a result and you ask yourself what was Lamar Odom thinking or did he think that what killed others cannot and will not kill him, because he is a superman? What lessons did we all including a pre-comatose Lamar Odom learn from the tragedies of MJ, Whitney and Kristina? It appears nothing and the same demon that took these other people away forever is now trying to add Lamar Odom to its hit list and someone is saying what? 

Icheoku does not care a hoot about whatever personal troubles any one is going through that possibly forced their hands. We all have our issues, but how we solve them or get out of the bind is primarily a personal call. While some people choose the narrow straight path including getting help that gets result, others bullshit their way through them be numbing themselves with narcotics and barbiturates and sometimes they go over their limit resulting in Lamar Odom's like condition. So it goes without saying that Lamar Odom exercised an option here, he made a choice to get stratospherically high and then to engage in orgy with prostitutes as if sex was going out of stock. He did not make it out in one piece and is now life-challenged, clinging to his life by the thread and battling to save himself from a threatening death. 

So whose fault was it that Lamar Odom overdosed on substances but Lamar Odom's. Yet some people are trying to make excuses for a fully grown 35 year old adult male, who is expected to and should be solely and entirely responsible for his actions. No one made him do it nor was a .45 Magnum pointed to his skull and threatened to, UNLESS. Therefore let us all stop all these bulk-passing and blame game; and instead concentrate our energy in praying for a miraculous breakthrough with his gravely challenged situation. This is the much we can collectively do now under the circumstance, but anyone trying to point an accusing finger to where it does not belong, including Master P, is rather too patronizing. Such behavior should therefore be condemned by everyone as not useful, neither right nor proper. Icheoku says Lamar Odom is an adult and as such is fully responsible for his actions and conducts, including for whatever he voluntarily ingested or needled into his veins at the Love Ranch prostitutes cove in Carson City Nevada. What a strange lesson it is indeed that despite the warning of Whitney Houston that CRACK IS WHACK, Lamar Odom still choose to ignore it anyway and is now tethering on the brinks. What an avoidable tragedy that keeps on giving and which is claiming more and more victims including some of America's finest.
