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.

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.

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.

SHOICHI NAKAGAWA, THE DEATH OF A DEAD MAN WALKING?

The alcohol-loving former Japanese finance minister finally did it, - he took his own life amidst a painful heart long yearning for attention, but was simply over-looked and ignored in a society, moving at the pace of meteor! His manifestations of cry for help went unanswered and today, he is no more! Like all suicides, he was unheard and he "jumped!"
He tried to drink away his painful sorrows, but no, his demons still tagged along with him until they finally forced his hands. He possibly could not shake off his monkey of alcoholism! Icheoku says, he probably died a very long time ago, judging from his moody-looks, which suggests a man in deep pain caused by a troubled heart. What was it and was it worth taking one's own life?
Shoichi Nakagawa was found dead by his wife on Sunday morning, in his home at Tokyo residential district of Setagaya. He was lying faced down, on his bed, in what appears to be an apparent suicide? The late minister had no external injuries which suggests he may have ingested some substance, to end a life, which as far as he was concerned has since lost its meaning? His death is strongly tilting towards suicide as it would appear that suicide runs in their family, his father who was also an LDP heavyweight, committed suicide in a hotel room in 1983. Icheoku says, Shoichi Nakagawa, most likely took his own life!
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are investigating the death of the 56 year old, troubled and drunken former finance minister; who was forced to resign his office over a drunken misbehaviour at the G7 meeting in Rome, Italy, last February 2009! He subsequently lost his seat in parliament during his party's abysmal election performance, last August 30, 2009. Mr Shoichi Nakagawa was a former lawmaker from the northern island of Hokkaido for more than 25 years. A heavyweight in the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), in an election speech he made to his constituents in the town of Obihiro on the northern island of Hokkaido, during his failed re-election campaign last August, Shoichi Nakagawa said, “For the sake of Japan, for the sake of all of you, I shall renounce alcohol.” Icheoku says, this guy would have been a good commercial for any alcoholic beverage company as their spokesman; but he died before they could discover his talents?
A former LDP rising star and potential prime minister candidate, late Shoichi Nakagawa held several Cabinet-level positions including agriculture minister and trade minister before becoming the finance minister in September 2008. He once called for Japan to consider developing nuclear weapons in response to North Korea's ratcheting its nuclear capabilities? He was also pro-Taiwan, a position which angered China which sees the island as part of its territory. Icheoku says, while the Tokyo police works to confirm the suicide, may his soul now find the peace which eluded his physical body. Adieu, Shoichi Nakagawa!
