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.

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.

OBAMA FABLED LEGACY, WHAT LEGACY ARE THEY ANYWAY?

Icheoku says for a man so obsessed with himself and who sees everything through the Obama lens, many were not surprised watching him mouth off about preserving his legacy. The president was at a Congressional Black Caucus event, touting his steeped legacy and how he wants black people to troop out en-masse and vote for Crooked Hillary Clinton as that is the only way to ensure the preservation of his legacy. According to the president, it will be a personal insult to him if black people do not vote in this election and thereby make Donald Trump's victory an easier one. 

Icheoku says what exactly gave the president the impetus to say this and how does he know that blacks who are voting in this election are so satisfied with his government that they would want to continue with it through Hillary Clinton? How does the president even know to second-guess that black people have forgiven Crooked Hillary Clinton for disparagingly branding them Super Predators to want to vote for her? Why did the president not insist that Crooked Hillary Clinton chose a black vice presidential candidate Cory Booker as many had anticipated and expected; to ensure that black people will feel they have a dog in the fight to want to give it their all to vote to elect Crooked Hillary Clinton. 

But nope, he would rather come down with a marching order, do as you are told and vote for the Queen of the plantation, Crooked Hillary Clinton. Icheoku says what is in it for black people that they should once again vote because Barack Obama said so. What did they benefit from the 99.9% vote and feverish support they gave to Obama through out the past eight years to motivate another such a-la-carte plunge into obvious failed policies. 

The president who spoke as guest of honor at the Congressional Black Caucus dinner said: ""If I hear anybody saying their vote does not matter, that it doesn't matter who we elect -- read up on your history. It matters. We've got to get people to vote. I will consider it a personal insult -- an insult to my legacy -- if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election. You want to give me a good sendoff? Go vote." 

Icheoku says which history is the president talking about and which elected president ever took the black cause fervently, including the first black president himself, to warrant this appeal to communal herd block voting. Why did the president not drum a similar message right into the ear of Crooked Hillary Clinton that if she wants black peoples vote, she must chose a black vice presidential candidate? Why did the president not insist it was going to be Cory Booker or no deal at all in black support of Hillary Clinton? Icheoku says no one is in chains anymore in America, therefore the president has no right whatsoever to give out marching orders to black people to vote as instructed. Crooked Hillary Clinton is not anybody's Queen that must be obeyed and plantations no longer exist in America except in the minds of those who have not mentally freed themselves from herded bondage. 

What personal insult is the president talking about and who cares anyway how he feels about how black people vote. A president who disappointed so many black people with so many unfulfilled expectations and under whose watch many black people have been killed in America both by the police and gangs, is here talking about personal insult? Was it not a personal insult on black people that the mayhem in Chicago is continuing under his watch without a far-reaching intervention by the government to reign it in? How about millions of black people who have been forced out of their job places by policies of the president which is more interested in pleasing other races and pandering to other interests than the black people. 

Was it not a personal insult to black people that so many black people have lost their homes under a black president? How about the increased dysfunctionality among black families with continued high incarceration and longer prison sentences? What exactly does the president think is the incentive here for black people to go out and vote as instructed and not boycott the election since they have no dog in the fight. Icheoku says a President Barack Hussein Obama, desirous of preserving his legacy would have set out initially establishing some legacy to be preserved. But nope, he hightailed and is now coming back to shamelessly mouth off preserving his legacy. Icheoku says which legacy are we talking about anyway that need to be preserved Mr President? 

Possibly the legacy of red lines that was drawn without consequences following their breach? Possibly the legacy of Arab Spring and the attendant mayhem that is still consuming the entire Middle East and some parts of North Africa? Perhaps the legacy of murdering a repentant Muommar Gaddafi who ponied up his nuclear development; paid restitution for the Lockerbie plane disaster; handed over two of the intelligence officers implicated in the planing and carrying out of the bombing, who were convicted and sentenced. May be the legacy of not visiting the country with the highest population of black people on earth, Nigeria, and think that black people will not remember that slight? 

Possibly the legacy of refusing to come to the aid of Nigeria under attack by Boko Haram Islamist terrorists including refusing to sell weapons to them with which to fight off the menace and discouraged other would be alternative weapons sellers from so doing? May be the legacy of not granting Africa any special free trade status with America like he pursued with other geographical regions of the world? May be the legacy of not helping solve any African economic and political problems? Possibly the legacy of trying to force sodomy on African countries and possibly the legacy of bathroom laws in America? 

Icheoku says should black people be excited about the legacy of a black president who never lighted the White House in black or other African colors during Kwanza weeks while the same black president have lighted the White House green for Irish Saint Patrick's day; rainbow colors for Gay Pride weeks etc? A president who readily goes to commiserate with other races whenever they are killed but who has ever visited the blacks killing field that is Chicago. What exactly is the legacy the black president wants black people to be so enamored with preserving that they should care about helping the president preserve it? 

Icheoku bemoans that President Barack Hussein Obama has never surprised himself before as he did at the Congressional Black Caucus, thinking that he still holds any special place in the hearts of millions of black people. The greatest nightmare facing the president is barreling down the pike and on November 8, he will be shocked at the percentage of black people who will telling him to take a hike as they vote to elect Donald Trump. Icheoku says President Barack Hussein Obama has no legacy with black people to preserve. Further, black people are not buying into the nonsense that they have any inheritance in the presidency of Crooked Hillary Clinton and will not vote for her either. The president is rather afraid that his government will be investigated and is trying to protect and shield himself from possible long prison sentence with the election of Hillary Clinton; and is masquerading it as a need to preserve a non existent legacy. Who is fooling who, Mr President?
