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.

JOHN McCAIN SAYS TO MITT ROMNEY, WHAT ABOUT FRANCE?

He is back, the lovable mavericky Senator John Sidney McCain and he is as truthful as whenever he wants to be. Icheoku did not like it when he denied being a maverick during his last campaign for political survival as a senator from the State of Arizona; however he gets a pass now for once again rising above partisan fray to point out certain absurdities of the Republican Party. This time, Senator McCain took it directly to sleek Mitt Romney, a man who America have come to loathe for his quicksand-like shifting positions on issues. To this cunning fox and former governor of Massachusetts, it could be daytime or nighttime any time depending on whatever  points or advantage he wants to score and he is shameless about it. According to the double-faced Janus and Republican Party's presidential nominee wanna-be, Mitt Romney, "Our troops should not go off and fight a war of independence for another country. Only the Afghanis can win Afghanistan's independence from the Taliban." 

For this Mitt Romney's ignorance of US foreign policy objective in the use and deployment of our troops, Senator John McCain reacted in disbelief, saying "If Reagan were around, he would be saying: That's not the Republican Party of the 20th century, and now the 21st century. That is not the Republican Party that has been willing to stand up for freedom for people for all over the world." And to those other Republicans in the House of Representatives taken hostage by the Tea Party fanatics, now threatening to cut military funding for the Libyan operations, McCain added, "I would say to my Republican friends: If this were a Republican president, would you be trying to impose these same conditions?" Icheoku says definitely not, they will not be imposing those conditions on a White Republican President; but since they have sworn an oath to make President Obama  a one-term president, if it means sabotaging US national security objectives to accomplish their mission, they won't care a hoot as according to them, the end justifies the means and that includes any end.  However, Icheoku commends Senator John McCain for braving it to speak up against a Rush Limbaugh and Tea Party controlled Republican Party's presidential candidate wanna-bes and Congress. Finally let the truth be spoken that it does not matter what President Barack Hussein Obama does to move America forward, provided he is still a blackman, those lunatics who do not see a president in President Obama but a blackman occupying "their" White House would still oppose it. 

Suddenly the Republicans known for years as the party of national security have suddenly somersaulted just because President Obama is so strong on National Security as they swore that President Obama can never do anything right by them. Regrettably too, Mitt Romney had to re-write history of our troops deployment just to meet the template of "nothing ever good can come out of President Obama" and forgot the Normandy landing that liberated France and much of Europe during World War 1 and 2. The bifurcated-tongued fake, Mitt Romney, also forgot that just recently, President GW Bush charged into Baghdad to liberate Iraqis and give them their freedom. A man so full of it, Mitt Romney, was prepared to suffer amnesia over the first President HW Bush first Gulf War when he sent in troops to liberate Kuwait from Saddam Hussein's invasion and ephemeral colonisation or should Icheoku say, annexation? Should Icheoku continue to enumerate our troops mission statement except that the Mitt Romneys of the Republican Party fringe have deliberately chosen for their brains to go into a sleep-mode on anything that shines good light on President Barack Hussein Obama and his presidency. 

Were Mitt Romney to be an honest person, he would have known that the purpose of the United States military, as an instrument of US foreign policy objective, is solely to bring freedom to freedom loving peoples of the world, anywhere and everywhere as it may be deemed fit and proper by the president. But it would seem that foreign policy is not Mitt Romney's strong suit and even his supposed economic feather seem to have fallen off when he stated that he would not have bailed out the Detroit Auto Industry while distancing himself from Romneycare which he sponsored and signed into law as governor of the State of Massachusetts. Icheoku says could somebody please advert this Mitt Romney to the statement by Nobel Laurette Professor Wole Soyinka that "history matters, records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides for the future" and see if he could safely wake up from his delusional shifting positions. 

There is simply no need wasting time laboring to make some race-blinded bigots see the light or accept the truth; otherwise how could any sane person explain that some of them claimed credit for Osama Bin Laden's killing; and bold-facedly stated that the honor of landing terrorism most coveted trophy should go to former President George Bush? Needless to add that these lunatics suffered selective loss of memory not to remember that the same GW had eight long years to nab Bin Laden but failed. Anyway, these group of people who would lie and mislead just to score cheap political points, such as Mitt Romeny and his co-travelers to presidency in their dreamland, are the real problem with America; but thankfully their mask has been removed and Americans know who not to trust with power. Imagine Mitt Romney and his Romneycare baggage, now jumping off into the deep end on foreign policy just to pretend he is what he is not. Thank you Senator McCain for calling Mitt Romney out on this and thereby holding him accountable; so please Americans, do not let this fluke called Mitt Romney beguile you; just say NO TO MITT ROMNEY, the MORMON; or did Icheoku hear he is now denying ever being one?
