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.

JOE WILSON'S 'YOU LIE' OUTBURST, SIMPLY OVER THE TOP!

Icheoku says, the "You Lie" outburst by South Carolina Republican Congressman Joe Wilson is simply unacceptable, inexplicable and intolerable! It is a vagrant affront to the Presidency, which office deserves the highest respect, courtesy and decorum from the American people, including their elected representatives.
It does not matter how 'pissed off' this republican 'street-thug' representative was, but to shout on top of his lungs at the President of the United States of America is over the top of tolerable dissents! Worst still, the President was a guest of the Congress and was addressing the burning issue of health care reform and deserves some respect from one of his host, the congressman.
The action of the congressman was both disrespectful and very disruptive; and should be condemned by all men of decent morals! What manner of man is this thug that would interrupt the president is such opprobrious contemptuous manner? Even if the President was not stating facts "acceptable to this 'thug", decency and respect for the office, not necessarily to "That One" occupant of it, should have moderated this outburst? Icheoku says, this 'thug' should tender a public unreserved apology to the office of the President, the United States Congress and the people of the United States of America for besmirching the office by such a frontal attack and unruly misbehaviour.
The outburst is crass stupidity and does not in any way, reflect the highest decorum expected of a United States Congressman in a session being addressed by the president? It will be recalled that another republican, the former Vice President Dick Cheney once told a person to 'go f**k himself' and you wonder if expletives are the sole preserve of the holier-than-thou republican party members? But in this particular case, the rudeness was exhibited to the highest office in the land and it came from a South Carolina congressman? The same South Carolina that its governor once abandoned and surreptitiously went on a "sex-capade" to Buenos Aires Argentina without any care about the state's welfare while AWOL? Icheoku really does not care how much hatred boils under Congressman Joe Wilson's heart, but for the office of the President, he owes utmost respect; especially being a co-host of the President while in the chamber of the United States Congress!
Icheoku therefore, unequivocally and totally, condemn the "You Lie" outburst as unnecessary, unwarranted, disrespectful, insulting, demeaning, classless, tasteless, opprobrious, raw, crude, thuggish, crass and an outpouring of a hate-filled redneck from South Carolina; who must atone for his sins by a public apology and pray the American people accepts same! If the Congressman disagrees with the President on any aspect of the intended health care reform or all of it, there are more civil avenues to express it; other than such a public forum that was very disruptive to the president's address. If the outburst is 'warranted', as some may argue, where is this congressman's evidence that 'Illegals' will be covered under the new health insurance plan, that conflicted what the President said, to thus make him a liar? The people of South Carolina, his wife and children should be very ashamed of the 'thug' they sent to Washington and the man they call husband and father! His outburst is appalling and beneath a United States Congressman, period. Shame on you Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina!
FYI:- If you are as outraged as so many Americans at the disrespect showed to the office of the President by Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina, call the congressman today and register your displeasure! His office telephone numbers are:- (202) 225-2452; (803) 939-0041
