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

WORDS ON MARBLE.

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.

FROM INDIA WITH HATE, A MURDER-SUICIDE?

It was only recently that the whole world rejoiced with the Indian based movie, Slumdog Millionaire for its overwhelming success at the Oscar Tony Awards in the United States of America! Indians in America have also recorded so many successful stories and milestones from Hi-tec to medicine to science. But last Sunday, the good trait was punctuated when an Indian IT Professional with Yahoo, Raghavan Devarajan ran amok and dispatched to eternity six other Indians, of the same family, in a San Francisco suburb of Santa Clara? A strange alien culture, one may say; not really as one other notable Indian had preceded him in this type of killing orgy? On Monday, October 6, 2008 a Bangalore Indian native, Karthik Rajaram, 45, also shot his mother-in-law, wife and three children to death before killing himself at their home on Como Lane Sorrento Pointe, California; - a gated community about 23 miles from downtown Los Angeles. Rajaram was a former financial analyst at PricewaterhouseCoopers and Sony Pictures.

It is not good to always swallow another man's culture, hook, line and sinker? Imagine an Indian just committed the most heinous of all crimes, murder and of of his entire family including in-laws? If this is not selfishness on the part of the Indian lunatic who dispatched his family members to the world beyond, nothing else so qualifies! If this killer of family was tired of living, why did he not just jump off the bridge, instead of taking other people alongside; after-all the Golden Gate Bridge is just thirty minutes drive away from his home in Santa Clara? Anyway, the whole world is merely adumbrating on an after the fact situation where it is now too late to save the victims? The murder-suicide in an upscale neighborhood of San Francisco area of Silicon Valley, left three children and three adults dead; with one deathly-injured victim, wife of the killer still clinging to life at an area hospital. The victims died from multiple gunshot wounds, fired from two handguns which were recovered at the scene. Picture above left shows the deranged family-killer with his killed son!

Officers discovered in the home's kitchen and dining room area, the bodies of a 10-year-old boy, a 4-year-old girl, a man in his 30s and a woman in her early 20s scattered inside the three-story town house in Rivermark, Santa Clara, a seven-year-old planned community with a shopping center, playgrounds and a mix of town houses, condominiums and Spanish-style houses that go for upwards of $1 million — all of them shot dead. The suspected gunman, a man in his 40s, was found on the top floor, dead from a self-inflicted wound. (The killer is seen in this picture above right with his killed wife, son and child). A toddler was still alive when paramedics arrived but died overnight at a hospital. Police were called to their town home at 4350 Headen Way around 8:30 p.m. Sunday March 2009 after a woman stumbled on a side-walk, bleeding from the home and asked a neighbour to call for help, saying her husband had shot her and that other victims were inside. The woman was later identified as Abha Deverajan, 34, wife of the alleged gunman, 42-year-old Devan Kalathat, aka Raghavan Devarajan. Among the victims were the couple's 11-year-old son, Akhil Devarajan and 4-year-old daughter Negha Devarajan; his brother-in-law and his wife's brother, Ashok Appu Poothemkandi, 35 and his sister-in-law and Poothemkandi's wife, 25-year-old Suchitra Sivaraman both couple were visiting from their homeland India; as well as the couple's 11-month-old daughter Ahana Ashok, who later died from her injuries at the hospital.

His weapon of choice were two .45-caliber semi-automatic pistols which he bought as recently as in February and about two weeks to the murders, respectively. Icheoku says, it appears that this lunatic planned and had time to meditate about his blood-letting? The victims were all members of the Malayalee tribe of India Angur Pradesh and their family lives at Ayyankollai in Nilgiris district, 550 km southwest of Tamil Nadu capital Chennai. Icheoku says people should not allow material things to enslave them, and what you cannot afford to loose, there is no reason acquiring it? Like many suicide-murderers, Mr Raghavan Devarajan walked himself into a rabbit hole of a fantasy life-style which he found himself inextricably trapped in; and being so far removed away from the reality, like a coward he chose to end it when the going went sour? Our only regret is that this madman took others' lives instead of just going out the way he came in - alone! May the families of the victims find solace in the certainty of death and they have gone to a better place.
