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.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

WORDS ON MARBLE.

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.

PRESIDENT OBAMA OF REPUBLICANS, "THEY TALK ABOUT ME LIKE A DOG!"

In the first song Jimi Hendrix wrote upon moving to England in 1966 tittled "Stone Free," he said, "They talk about me like a dog. Talkin about the clothes I wear. But they don't realize they're the ones who's square."

Icheoku says may be President Obama instead of just stopping at "they talk about me like a dog", would have used the entire lyrics emphasizing that it is the Republicans and their Christian far right wingers that are really "squared up" that a black man is occupying their White House and have vowed to do everything and anything to get him out. To these folks, the end justifies the means, and provided he goes, it does not matter if it means opposing all and every of his intended legislation beneficial to the American people and geared towards getting the economy out back on tracks. Their agenda, 'just get the nigger out of "their" White House and take "their" government back from "That One!"
President Obama pointed out that "some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time are behind the unceasing criticism of his government's agenda; many of who see them as no longer beneficial to their government as usual laisse-faire. That they're not happy with him to the extent that they will oppose anything once Obama's name is attached to it. For example, if he said the sky was blue, they'd say no. If he said fish live in the sea, they'd say no just for the heck of opposing the president which has earned the Republicans the acronym, "The Party of No".
However the jury is going to be the American people and Icheoku hopes and prays they get it right this time; provided they did not suffer from a debilitating amnesia before November so that they would properly recollect where the original source of the problem is - the eight years President George Walker Bush led Republican melt-down. Except, like the religious zealots they are they are literally expecting President Obama to rebuild the temple of a devastated economy within just three days (18months); an economy that took President George Bush eight long years to drive aground. But whatever turns out to be the case, only one possibility is assured - either Americans eventually did forget how bad it was then or that they decided to call off the Republican bluff as the architect of the original economic miasma which subsists till today. It was their President GW Bush who said, "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me;" and Icheoku waits to see how really smart and discerning the American voter is come November. Until then, the jury stays out.
