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.

MOTHER-NATURE MOCKS HUMANITY OVER GLOBAL WARMING?

So much so for global warming hysteria that mother-nature decided to mock and humanize humanity, on the same day world leaders are hurdled down and discussing environmental impact of global warming and how to curb it? Instead of intensive heat from hell scorching everybody and everything across the land, just to buttress the point being made, mother-nature froze over the entire Europe, Britain and north America's east coast with what has been aptly describes as a blizzard weather condition.
What a cruel irony of faith, thereby making these global warming protagonists not look so very credible; since the world is witnessing rather a 'global cooling' and not the hyped opposite? Icheoku does not have an opinion one way or the other on the issue of globe warming, that is not our area of expertise; but assuming the globe is indeed warming, it is our position that humanity is too infinitesimal to make any variable impact thereto? In other words, the globe is not impacted by mankind, and it is very arrogant of mankind to assume it is formidable enough to affect a world which has survived various forms of lives before the arrival of man on it. Therefore, who is mankind to arrogate itself, the omni-portent position of checkmating global warming, assuming it is not a hoax ab initio?
Pictures do not lie and both of these were taken on Fraiday December 18, 2009 according to the publisher, BBC! Even in Britain, an Eurostar train was frozen on its track at the chunnel and forced the entire train service out of operation; a result of a severe chilly weather event? Copenagen the host city of the global warming conference also recorded freezing conditions? Now call it a coincidence or whatever your convenient explanation tells you; but Icheoku asks, why would mother-nature force this joker on the world leaders on the same day they are wounding up their deliberations on global warming? It must be for one thing and one thing only, to ridicule the world leaders into humility and make them seem contemptible before the people, for shouting fox when there is none in the vicinity.
But what do they want to gain, who knows; why bother to understand the ways of men, especially when there is big money to be made! Icheoku says, there is more pressing needs of humanity for these world leaders to tackle, instead of spending valuable time on a phenomenon which they have no control or handle on; and which is still thousands of light-years away before any significant impact adversely affects the world. Why not spend the $100 billion on food, medicine and education for the millions of Africans, south Asia, Latin America and even in certain so called first-rate countries in desperate needs? But who cares; and according to former south Africa President Thambo Mbeki, the ruse generated by the HIV/AIDS epidemic would not have reached the proportion it is in today, had all these foreign drug peddlers spent a little percentage of the resources being wasted on placebo drugs and publicity campaigns on foods to feed the hungry mouths; maybe they could stand a better chance at fighting the scourge?
Continuing, Mbeki opined that the needs of Africa is rather food and not experimental drugs which seem to worsen an already bad situation? Icheoku says, unlike global warming which could be likened to a virtual event; starvation and disease are real tangibles which eradication could be measured in physical terms, instead of the speculative exercise now being embarked on by the world. $100 billion dollars could go a long way in fighting malaria and buying millions of mosquito nets; also eradicate cholera through digging of bore-holes and providing clean safe water for the needy of the society. Think about how many scholarships $100 billion could buy for the very bright but less privileged of the society's bottom feeders who could grow up to someday become the President just like President Barack Hussein Obama?
But no, business is business and those other perils of society can wait while some coffers somewhere are filled to the brinks, through contracts, consultation fees, conferences and anticipated fixing of an unbroken global weather pattern! Anyway, our case is made; if these blankets of snow were exclusively, totally deliberative of mother-nature, then who are we to question her judgment and actions; afterall we are mere mortals guided by only what we see and hear.
Finally Icheoku says, if global warming is real and caused by man, then it can be stopped by man! But if not, then all these efforts being made by everybody to stop it remains wasted and misplaced; since mother-nature will continue to get a better part of us by reminding us each time of our limitations both in knowledge and abilities. For the records, Icheoku reiterates once again, our position on whether or not there is global warming is suspense; but on the issue of it being caused by mankind or not, we declare it doubtful! So dear reader, what is the temperature today in your own neck of the wood; but since the last time we checked, the waters of the Pacific is still very chilly and the Atlantic is not yet boiling over. Moreover so many animal and insect species, that are particularly heat-intolerant and most-times die from heat-stroke would have all since died. But since these 'canary in the mines' are still alive and thriving, Icheoku says, may the resources of the world go to where it is needed most - food, medicine, disease, shelter, weapons-proliferation control, abolishing of 'dis-Honor-Killings of women, child labor, education etc; but not to the infantile over-blown global warming!
