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

WORDS ON MARBLE.

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.

AFRICAN-AMERICANS ECONOMY IS WORSE OFF - ROMNEY

Icheoku says except that President Barack Obama did not cause it. It has been the same and have always remained the same ever Mitt Romney's forebears brought unwilling Africans in chains to this shores. Regrettably too, all attempts at equalizing and/or leveling the playing field to create enabling environment for a serious headway has been rebuffed by Mitt Romney's people. Effort at reparation has also been resisted by the good ole white boys who would not hear none of that. Even the present government  of President Barack Obama honest attempt to cushion their hardship has been branded by Mitt Romney's people as redistribution and socialist? Any and every attempt at redressing this age-long, purposely maintained, economic-vice hold on African-Americans by Mitt Romney's people have been rejected in order to help keep them in their place. 

Yes, you read Icheoku right and we make bold to restate that economic disequilibrium in America was engineered and maintained by Mitt Romney's skin-color type and no one, not in minority Americans communities or the the NAACP convention, should listen to this holier than thou fellow from Massachusetts trying to patronize them with his bamboozling speech. Icheoku asks would Mitt Romney release his Bain Capital records on how many African-Americans his company employed or helped get a loan of any sort while running it? Would Mitt Romney tell Americans why the United States Senate is an all white club with no minority or an African American therein serving as a senator? Would Mitt Romney tell Americans how many African-American CEO there is in Wall Street? Would Mitt Romney tell Americans how many African-Americans there is anywhere that creates jobs or hire workers and would Mitt Romney tell Americans why African-Americans are last to be hired and first to be fired in American work-places? Would Mitt Romney tell Americans why the dissipate application of justice against African-American males which sees them being recycled through the prison system thus making them unable to play any major or supportive role in the economic system especially of their families. 

We need to know what the Mitt's plan is towards redressing these stacked up roadblocks and not to rehash the obvious. All these economic dislocations of the African-American community did not start under or with Barack Obama's presidency; no, it is an unspoken and subsisting economic-slavery, engineered to keep them down and under control. Therefore Icheoku says to Mitt Romney, to please keep his patronizing observation to himself and that NAACP does not need him to tell them what they have been forced to live with all these centuries since slavery. If Mitt must open his mouth in that direction, to please say if he will among many other palliative measures to be articulated and put in place to help African-Americans economic well-being, support the payment of reparation to the people who have been shortchanged ever since they were forcibly brought to America by Mitt Romney's people in shackles. That is what NAACP wants to hear from the Mormon Bishop and that is what Icheoku would like to also hear as any and every other thing is a cheap-talk patronage which African-Americans can use less of.
