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.

JARED LEE LOUGHNER, THE WHITE DOMESTIC TERRORIST OF TUCSON ARIZONA

JARED LEE LOUGHNER, THE WHITE DOMESTIC TERRORIST OF TUCSON ARIZONA.One woman asked, "How can a person hate this much" as to cause such a mayhem. In answer, Icheoku says, violence has been around in America and America has been around violence and for a long continuous time. The only thing that changed this time with the Tucson incident is that a top public official, a United States Congresswoman, was one of the victims and now it is all hell tuned loose? 

Icheoku asks, does it mean that this particular mass murder is somewhat different or is it a case of Animal Farm's some animal being more equal than others; and that some lives are more special and valued more than the rest of other Americans who are continuously dropped on the streets of America by acts of violence every day. Instead of addressing the easy availability of guns, people are looking for someone to blame for the bloody violence which is fast taking over the land and which manifests every time and in various forms. 

Violence which started way back and continuing today from Slave-owners and Slave-traders, native American-Indians massacre, the two Texas white males that tied a black-man at the back of their pickup truck and drove his tailgating body around until it completely disintegrated and his skull spilled his brains on the pavements of a Texan town, Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and according to Rachel Maddow's account on 1/10/11 TRM's show, several other bone-chilling mass killings in America, including Columbine High School students massacre and Virginia Tech massacre; all which were carried out by persons who "hated that much" that they committed such heinous dastardly act. 

It is regrettable what happened in Tucson; but let no one pretend it is new in our land or that this killer and mass-murderer was any different from other past mass-murderers on record or that such madness shall magically end with this Tucson episode; many copycats are likely to follow. A serious soul-searching is all that we need in addition to toning down the rhetoric while finding meaningful ways to get around NRA and take the guns out of the reach of such psychopaths as Jared Loughner. Icheoku hopes that we can learn to love more than we war on one another; and pray that the Almighty shall not allow such people as Jared Loughner to wake up on the day they planned to carry out such infamy!

A GLOCK PISTOL WITH EXTENDED MAGAZINE, BEAUTIFUL BUT DEADLY. The white domestic terrorist who caused great mayhem in Tucson Arizona, used a similar assault pistol to kill and hurt so many Americans including a 9 year old child and a United States Congresswoman.
