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.

IT IS STILL 1950 IN RACIST FLORIDA ?


The State of Florida is once again in the news as one of those states in the deep south which is finding it very difficult to shake off its racist past. Few months ago, a Floridian man was arrested and charged for threatening harm on presidential candidate Barack Obama: - a timothy mcveigh like home-grown terrorist ; today it is the turn of another racist red-necked bigot, "Monster" Gregory Howard a classroom teacher who has been teaching his students bigotry.

This hate-filled "teacher" Gregory Howard, who's been teaching in the district for 17 years, wrote on his classroom's black-board (chalk-board) his warped understanding of the meaning of the campaign slogan of Senator Barack Obama, CHANGE! According to this nincompoop CHANGE means "come help a nigger get elected'! The school authority gave him a slap on the wrist by suspending him for merely ten days. This action is highly suggestive that the board is populated by like-minded individuals as Gregory Howard otherwise why just a cautionary penalty? It would appear that this board membership share the same sentiment as expressed by this evil urchin, Gregory Howard. Could it be this widely-spread type of mindset that is accelerating racism in the south? Could it be the reason why racism still thrives very much in the deep south to this date? These are the type of people Senator John McCain hopes on, to get into the White-house despite being more of the same as George Bush. Some zealots whose only hope of surviving is to race-bait. To these munchkins, Icheoku says, is it all that matters to your sorry asses that you are white-skinned and hence has earned the right to preach and indoctrinate hate in our children, our future? These are the same brand of "bastards" who would rather sink with a race-themed boat than to stay afloat safely in a boat being paddled by a person of color. If this is not the lowest denominator of crass hatred, nothing else so qualifies. Why this monster was not fired is beyond our comprehension at Icheoku, but sure it does leave some questions unanswered as where Florida is today regarding race relations in the country. However, hate it or love it, the wind of change is real and those literate enough to understand it are firm believers that the White-house will have a different occupant this time around.
According to the story, the Florida middle school teacher in Marianna Florida has been suspended after students said he used a racial epithet directed at presidential candidate Barack Obama. Seventh-grade social studies teacher Greg Howard reportedly wrote the word CHANGE as an acronym for "Can (You) Help A Nigger Get Elected" and "Come Help A Nigger Get Elected."

The incident happened last Friday September 26, 2008 at Marianna Middle School. The Jackson County School Board which has authority over this school, said Thursday that Racist Gregory Howard has been suspended without pay for 10 days and will be transferred to the Jackson County Adult Education program. He is also required to submit a letter of apology to his students and attend diversity and sensitivity training. Marianna is near Florida's border both with Alabama and Georgia.
Icheoku condemns in term most strongest, the misbehavior of this petty white supremacist red-neck, Monster Gregory Howard. His likes are not deserving of this modern day America and all the progress recorded over the years especially in the area of race relations. Further, Monster Gregory Howard deserves a place in the infamous Hall of Shame! The school district in Jackson County Florida, which has jurisdiction over the Marianna school which was used as a platform for this hate speech, appears to be an accomplice to this hateful propagation of an idea whose time has since gone. By not out-rightly firing this mind corrupter, whose acidity is poisoning our greater tomorrows - the future of this country, this school district has shown bias. There is no explanation for this racist misbehavior and Jackson county must disassociate itself from this affront by severing whatever ties that may be still left between them and this racist monster!
