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.

#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

"FUCK YOU, MITT ROMNEY", SCREAM IT LOUDER?

Icheoku says possibly the heckler screamed on behalf of millions of irate Americans who are furious that this one percent-man Mitt Romney is deliberately thumbing his nose at them by pretending to be everything to everybody depending on which audience were gathered before him. 
May be going forward, The Mitt's mantra should become "ME TOO" since whatever turned out right, he also would have ordered or implemented? Osama Bin Laden was killed in a daring raid ordered by a thoughtful and brave president who staked all or nothing of his presidency on the outcome of the mission sticking to his pledge in 2008 to get Bin Laden wherever he may be holed up. Mitt Romney who had also in 2008 called such boldness impetuous now says he too would have similarly ordered the raid? The auto industry bailout of General Motors and co which Mitt Romney wanted bankrupted is now a success story and before too long the Mitt would scream "ME TOO" supported it and that he would have similarly bailed out the three? During the early stages of the current concluding Republican primaries when he was accused of not being a conservative or conservative enough, The Mitt frog-leaped to the far right shouting "ME TOO", am an "acute conservative" regardless of whether anyone understood what he otherwise meant by being an acute partisan other than an extremist.

Icheoku says to this flip-flopping Mormon bishop from liberal Massachusetts that presidential decisions is not a hindsight or Monday quarterbacking type of when the situation is right positioning especially on issues that many atimes requires on your feet life changing decision making ability. Who knows what else The Mitt would now seek to share and partake in the credit or take pleasure in screaming his new mantra of "ME TOO"? Icheoku strongly believes that Americans are not as dumb and stupid as this Mitt and his Republican hatchet-men would like to believe and would gladly remind this Mormon Bishop of all his prevarications and equivocations on so many issues and matters of great importance come November. 

Now that the Mitt has been called a racist to his face, soon and very soon he would deny he never in the past took positions inimical to a responsible immigration reform policy in the country and would then gladly declare "ME TOO" supports a sensible immigration reform. Icheoku says may be it is about time The Mitt suffixed his name with "Flip-flopping" Mitt Romney and get over with that his particular attribute once and for all. However in as much as Icheoku is tempted to add it's voice to the heckler's in using deserving profanities on the Mitt, we shall pass but urge other would be incensed Americans to say that with their votes in November instead. Americans need to send a clear message to The Mitt and his Republicans that not this time, never again. That they are not as dumb and unthinking as they would want to believe and that their brains still have recollection of the not too distant past George Bush's maladministration and that they are not willing to relive the nightmarish disaster so soon after the memory began to fade. 

So, whether the heckler's "Racist! Racist! Mitt Romney is a racist. Fuck you, Mitt Romney!" makes any difference, Icheoku does not know but suffice it to say the former George Bush vice president Dick Cheney similarly used such profanity in the hallowed chambers of congress when he told Patrick Lehey to "Go fuck himself." A congressman also shouted "You Lie" at the president while he was addressing Congress, so what the fuck does it matter if The Mitt is told F.U.

  1. As predicted this Mister Flip-flop has now said "ME TOO" in the auto bailout success story. Icheoku says The Mitt is shamelessly despicable and wonders how he go to sleep at night knowing that nothing out of his mouth ever solidifies into a position.

    EUCLID, Ohio (AP) — Campaigning in the backyard of America's auto industry, Mitt Romney re-ignited the bailout debate by suggesting he deserves "a lot of credit" for the recent successes of the nation's largest car companies.
    That claims comes in spite of his stance that Detroit should have been allowed to go bankrupt.
    The presumptive Republican presidential nominee told a Cleveland television station on Monday that President Barack Obama followed his lead when he ushered auto companies through a managed bankruptcy soon after taking office.
    "I pushed the idea of a managed bankruptcy, and finally when that was done, and help was given, the companies got back on their feet," Romney said in an interview inside a Cleveland-area auto parts maker. "So, I'll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry has come back."
    Romney has repeatedly argued that Obama ultimately took his advice on the auto industry's woes of 2008 and 2009. But he went further on Monday by saying he deserves credit for its ultimate turnaround.
    The course Romney advocated differed greatly from the one that was ultimately taken. GM and Chrysler went into bankruptcy on the strength of a massive bailout that Romney opposed. Neither Republican President George W. Bush nor Democratic President Barack Obama believed the automakers would have survived without that backup from taxpayers.
    Romney opposed taxpayer help.
    "If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye," Romney wrote in a November 2008 opinion article in the New York Times. "It won't go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed."
    General Motors posted a record profit last year.
    The issue is critical in at least two general election swing states: Ohio and Michigan, where the auto bailouts are popular among some Republicans and Democrats.
    The Obama campaign pounced on Romney's statement Monday night, calling it "a new low in dishonesty" and calling on him to have "the courage and integrity" to admit he was wrong.
    Romney is scheduled to campaign in Michigan on Tuesday
