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.

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.

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.

SO WHAT IF DONALD TRUMP IS A RACIST?

Icheoku says please give me a break; who is not a racist in America? Which white skinned American, majority of who are descendants of slave owners including Hollywood Ben Affleck, is not a racist?  Since the last time Icheoku checked, a racist is defined as "a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another" and so now please someone show Icheoku that pale skinned American who does not believe in the white privilege? By extension, which of these candidates running for the presidency of the United States of America lives in a black neighborhood or black community? How many of them attend black churches? How many of their children go to black school or one in black neighborhood? How many of them even have a black friend?

Bill Clinton did not marry a black woman? Bill Clinton also, in his numerous dalliance, did not have sex with any of that woman who is black? Ditto Hillary Clinton, who none of her personal assistants is black and their daughter Chelsea did not marry a black man? In the neighborhood where they live and possibly the church they attend, there possibly does not a black person reside nor attend? Their antecedents, especially with Jesse Jackson during his run for the presidency in 1988 as well as Barack Obama's 2008 run did not establish their truly being in bed with black people. How many black friends do they even have, speaking about a white couple that loves black people dearly and are not racists? Who increased incarceration of blacks in America, Bill Clinton. Ditto the other guys in the other party as well as Hillary's challenger Bernie Sanders. But suddenly it is election season and Hillary is speaking and talking black, visiting Flint in solidarity with black folks being poisoned with lead; as well as visiting Al Sharpton and black churches to show her blackness. Icheoku says only the gullible is deceived and will be deceived. 

This responds to numerous inquiries by various people as to why Icheoku is supporting Donald Trump despite all the bomb-throwing, somewhat racially tinged rhetorics associated with him during this election cycle. Icheoku is emphatic there are two types of white people - those who show you their teeth in pretentious smile that they love you, only to drive the knife right through into your heart once you turn your back; and those who will tell you upfront that they are more comfortable with people who look like them and share their values. Any other thing in between is rare. So among all the racist white people running to succeed the nigger currently in a "hostile occupation" of their White House, Donald Trump does it for Icheoku, because he is at least honest and upfront with his feelings towards people who do not look like him nor share his white supremacy values. 

A popular aphorism has it that the devil one knows is always better than the devil lurking in the garb of an angel, only to strike you dead at any slightest opportunity. The worst enemy anyone could have is that enemy who is pretending to be a friend - the Brutus of this world. Julius Ceasar was stabbed severally but it was only the stab by Brutus that Caesar regretted with his now famous quote 'Et tu Brute?" Nigeria's late MKO Abiola once said that "with a friend like IBB no one needs an enemy." So it is not those already identified enemies which one is already guarded and protected against that constitute the problem; nope, it is those enemies pretending to be friends, who have access to one's inner recesses, while plotting how to drive that dagger right through underneath the rib cage. Icheoku listens to Rush Limbaugh too; another no go area for pretentious people, who brand him a racist; while disregarding their own appalling resume on race relationship in America. The wise listens to his enemy to know what the attack plans or flange of attack will be and then hone in his defenses accordingly. 

Icheoku says but for the upcoming election, Hillary Clinton as well as Bernie Sanders would not have cared enough to give a hoot about the abject poverty bedeviling millions of black Americans in America. It is not just about the photo-op which Flint Michigan provided this two candidates as caring, they should as a matter of seriousness, travel through American inner cities and communities of color to witness first hand the level of poverty in which fellow Americans are living which even some poverty-stricken third world countries cannot be proud of. But this is America, the food basket of the world and the wealthiest nation on earth, yet some of her people are suffering abject poverty simply because the color of their skin is somewhat different and below par. Anyway, the campaign season is full stream and hopefully Donald Trump will clinch the Republican Party's nomination and go ahead to win the presidency of America. Then and after then will  Icheoku revisit his suitability for president of the United States of America, if need be; but please give Icheoku a break he is a racist because all of them are.
