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.

'The best way to keep peace is to be ready to destroy evil. If you Pearl Harbor me, I Nagasaki you.' - Ted Nugent.

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.


FOR SAKE OF COUNTRY.


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.

GOVERNOR RICK PERRY OF TEXAS, THE FACE OF RACIST AMERICA?

His kinsman and the guy he succeeded as governor of Texas was in Washington for eight long hellish years and he kept his mouth sealed! His fellow Texan drove the economy into the toilet, but he looked the other way! While the foibles of the last administration lasted, this loud-mouth mad-dog of Texas, never uttered a word? He remained mute and even hosted a welcome back to Texas, pat on the back, party for his "brother" for ruining our nation?
Suddenly a man who has been referred to as "that one" is barely in office for about seven weeks (75days) and who do we have shouting rabid anti-government sentiments, Governor Rick Perry of Texas! If this guy is not a racist-bigot hiding under unfounded patriotism, no one else so qualifies in America? Sometimes Icheoku wishes that all these racists rednecks pretending to be what they are not, could be as courageous and as brave as the Republican Party honcho, Rush Limbaugh and tell America what they are really feeling and thinking? If only they could speak their mind always and not try in futility to be politically correct, whenever they have a recording device in their face, then Icheoku will have no beef with them.
But to wear a mask of Zorro and pine away internally in a deceitful, conceited manner rubs us on the wrong side. It was only last week that Icheoku learnt that the neighbourhood where the last president now calls abode, was just recently, a "white-only" community and this is Dallas, in Governor Rick Perry's Texas? Governor Rick Perry of Texas should have publicly acknowledged that the idea of having someone who does not look like one of them, in "their" White House is causing his ilks sleepless nights; and when any sleep comes at all, it is just a nightmare? This would have been the noble thing to do, but instead, he is calling for drawing of a line in the sand, an acronym for secession? Icheoku asks, but where will the boundary lines be, Mr Governor Perry?
President Barack Obama was sworn in on January 20, 2009 and less than three months in office, these bloodhounds led by Texas Governor Rick Perry are inciting and instigating other bigots like them to rise up against the federal government in Washington? A government elected by an overwhelming majority of rational Americans who vetted Barack Obama and found him to be exactly what the doctor, Uncle Sam, ordered! Over half of the voting population elected the current government, which is still enjoying very high approval rating in the polls? These bigots should understand that an all inclusive new majority has emerged in America and that the world in which they live, only exist in their minds! But when the world thought that the "curse" of a George Bush was more than enough for America to live with, here comes the arch-devil himself! A racist bigoted governor of Texas, Rick Perry inciting his compatriots and fellow travellers to their lonesome island of hate, against the Barack Obama government? All mankind should condemn the subterfuge Teabag rallies of today, Wednesday, April 15, 2007 as an event organised and attended by those folks who do not wish America well; and who have bluntly refused to understand that it is a new day in America and that America has since moved on from the 1950s?

Before now, they thought that "that one" has no chance on earth, winning the Democratic Party's nomination? Surprise, surprise! They thought that his vice presidential pick will be inadequate, once again surprise, surprise! The White House too? Holly molly! They thought he will fumble with his cabinet selection, but they were once again the fools! His first appearance on the world stage as president of the United State of America was a resounding success, so they cringed! Then came the 3.00AM red-phone call and he succeeded in retrieving our captured captain while dispatching the little minions of Somalia to their makers. What did the right wing say, Oh, no! he just killed three young black boys of Somalia? Icheoku says, so daft are these fundamentalist American-Talibans that in their hate-filled world, they failed to understand that Somalians are not blacks but Arabs of Africa? They also forgot and willfully though, that boys do not play in adults league and that piracy is one heck of an adult crime! Governor Perry, it should be noted is a governor in the state of Texas that is notorious for putting to death convicted young criminal offenders, especially if their color is ebony? What a world of Araby these people live and exist in? Even the hypocritical Pharisees will be ashamed that these lunatic right-wingers smashed their records? Hopefully the economy is on track to recovering and while we await their next move; let us watch out for what they will throw at the wheel of progress of this administration before that time.

Icheoku advises the Governor Rick Perrys of America, including their Joe-Plumber, to get over it and instead plan for the next 2012 election! Alternatively, they should all proceed on self-imposed exile to the Australian-outbacks and wait-out this President Barack Obama's administration. It is called protesting the government which you cannot tolerate? But for you to remain within the United States shores and be very unruly and/or try to intimidate the will of the majority will not work. Hopefully a crazed-out lunatic amongst you will not rise to try something stupid, as such will not be acceptable and may be the beginning of the end for every ongoing frustrations within the populace.
Looking at the spotty crowd that gathered in several places today for their infamous teabag-disguised racists rally, Icheoku wonders if these loonies think America is still a "Whites Only" country? To the Teabagers of American right, Icheoku says, please take a deep breath as we are in a new dawn today! Learn to live with the reality of a new America that is a potpourri of humanity, the real strength of our Union. May the Good Lord have mercy on this hateful lunatic-fringed Americans and please Dear God, remove the wool covering their eyes that they may behold a new day, Alleluia, Amen!
