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.

JOE WILSON'S APOLOGY, NOT CONTRITE ENOUGH!

Admitted the President and Commander-In-Chief of the United States of America, Barack Obama, has on behalf the presidency and the American people accepted the apology of Congressman Joe Wilson; Icheoku says the apology is not good enough and should have been rejected!
In rascally Joe Wilson's own words, "Republican leaders wanted me to contact the White House and state that my statements were inappropriate?" The necessary implication of his statement being that, "but for" the leadership of his Republican party, Joe Wilson would not have apologised for his inexplicable guffaw? Really? So this thuggish South Carolina Congressman has not yet realised what he did wrong and is still holding out that his uncouth behavior represents the best of South Carolina; and that it is ok to be disrespectful to the president and in such a public way? In essence, Joe Wilson is stating that if not for the prodding and instigation of his party officials, he would never have realised that what he did was wrong and called for an apology? Would he have adamantly stuck to his gun thereby further demeaning and damaging the people of South Carolina; portraying them as a very disrespectful people who sent one of their very own 'reflection' to Washington DC as their ambassador? Icheoku says, the orchestrated apology fell flat on its face as it showed no remorse, contrition and a reflection of the wrongfulness of his outburst; his obstinate position evidences one who still believes in the correctness of his wrongful disorderly outburst. So techincally, Joe Wilson did not apologise as he never would have nor wanted to, except for the pushing of the republican party officials? ON the apology, Joe Wilson was saying, it was not my act; they made me do it!
If the president is a liar, please Joe Wilson show Icheoku the evidence! House Bill on Health Care Reform HR 3200 Section 246 is clearly very instructive that 'no illegal aliens would be covered under the health care reform plan.' So Congressman Joe Wilson, we challenge you to prove your case by producing your evidence to the contrary; we are waiting for your rebuttal to affirm your deranged outburst. Even Sean Hannity of the Fox Network went out of his way to misrepresent what the president said just to malign the president's effort to fix what is broken. According to Sean 'Insanity', the president called Insurance executives 'bad people'; whereas what the president said on record is that 'their action does not make them bad people but they are only driven by profit of the marketplace ..' Lord God have mercy on these lunatics; imagine the extent these confederates will go just to try to 'diminish' the presidency just because 'THAT ONE' is occupying it, - 'their' White House? They are seeing red because some institutions they had set up over the years to rob millions of Americans their hard earned money and deny them benefits when the need arises, are being put under the surgical knife, by a brave president who wants to do right for and by the American people! And their cry of blue murder is becoming as thunderous as it is deafening; as we have never heard before. Another one of these lunatic fringed right-winger even carried a placard which read "Keep the government out of my Medicaid" and you wonder who is medicaid but the government and vice versa?
There is no American who does not agree that there should be reform of the health care industry except for these racist rednecks whose only duty's war-cry is bring 'him down at whatever cost!' Which American does not have a tale of woe in the hands of these insurance companies that would readily deny you coverage and even off-load you, once a debilitating illness sets in? As for a personal experience, I lost a close friend sometime around November 2007; his insurance dropped him because in their own subjective assessment, 'his life is not worth the estimated cost of $500,000 required to treat him?' My friend, just 43 years old, married and with two sons had religiously and regularly paid his $600 per month premium without fail. About ten years down the road of strictly adhering to his obligation to pay premium under a subsisting health insurance policy contract; one day he was not feeling too good and went to see his doctor. MDS (Leukaemia) was diagnosed, his insurance company was contacted to pony up for his treatment but they dropped the ball on him; they denied him coverage and ultimately dropped his coverage! The rest is now history as the young father of two died shortly afterwards; however after friends and family had rallied around to see him through a bone marrow transfer operation and subsequent chemotherapy and radiation courses. Whether the later intervention was too late or my friend would have lived had the insurance company shown cause and lived up to their obligation under the contract, Icheoku does not know; but suffice it to say the insurance company acted like a scam artist by reneging on a due obligation after accepting consideration thereto.
Once again, who is against Health Care Reform but the recalcitrant racist Republicans who by their constant action are portraying themselves as uncaring, unfeeling, racists-KKK operatives who would rather hold out against anything from the presidency just to protest "THAT ONE" who is "illegally" occupying their White House and who does not fit their image of a White House occupant? This is the single most fathomable reason why this 'thug' from South Carolina broke every rule of decent conduct and decorum of the Congress, and shouted on top of his lungs at the President of the United States of America; accusing him wrongly in the process! Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina thinks he is disrespecting President Barack Obama, but no, he is only diminishing himself while trying to belittle the presidency of the United States of America. But as far as he is concerned, the office and the president is one and the same thing; and attack he must to Barack Obama.
As a descendant of former slave owners, the Congressman was seeing before his eyes, "a boy" who can be shouted at, at will and expected to obey and answer 'Yes Sir!' It is all in his mindset of the 'good ole-boi,' the lord and master? It is in his head! Like his other cohorts, he is still in denial of the fact of November 4 2008 which was made official on January 20, 2009. However Icheoku has a proposition, if it is going to make these breed of humanity saner, we want to reiterate that Barack Obama has no slave blood in him; rather he is an African-African who was born in America! So instead of thinking that a slave descendant is their president, it could be psychologically safer and healthier for these people to see President Barack Obama as an African Kenyan and not a 'nigger-slave' descendant?
Now Congressman Joe Wilson, Icheoku asks you once again and with due respect, to formally own up responsibility for your unwarranted outburst, be contrite about it and apologise freely and formally to the President, the people of South Carolina that sent another confederate redneck to Washington DC and to the American people in general for embarrassing the office of their president! Anything short of this is unacceptable and we shall continue to hold you out on this fatal error of judgment, fuelled by a furry of racism running in your genetic gnome! To the people of South Carolina, Icheoku asks, when will you people start disavowing all these your politicians who are painting you in a bad light, not mindful that their actions and utterances reflect badly on you who they represent - or is it a case of birds of the same feather? Oh South Carolina are these politicians the best you can offer? Governor Mark Sanford? Congressman Joe Wilson? And we shall not forget the KKK Capo who had an affair with a slave-descendant while hammering away at African Americans; and who swore his biracial daughter to an oath of secrecy, compelled her to remain under the radar until his demise! We are reflecting on the late centurion, Senator Strum Thurman, also from South Carolina!
Possibly Congressman Joe Wilson's outburst was a case of a liar calling another person, who happen to be the president of the United States of America, a liar? According to Politifact.com, a nonpartisan site dedicated to fact-checking the claims of "candidates, elected officials, political parties, interest groups, pundits, talk show hosts, concluded "Obama wasn't lying when he said the health-care reforms he's proposing would not apply to illegal immigrants. In their own very summation, "Obama can make a pretty thorough case that reform doesn't apply to those here illegally. We don't find the public option argument enough to make the case that Obama 'lied.' We rate Wilson's statement False." Icheoku says, America, now you know who the real problem is, - racist republicans who would maintain and sustain their opposition to the president without any reasonable basis whatsoever, simply because of his skin pigmentation, period!
