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.

REAL FEAR, ONE REASON WHY ROMNEY LOST.

Icheoku says people were genuinely scared and afraid of what a Romney presidency would do to them and what it portends for ordinary folks in America and as a result, they went into offense proactively with their votes to make sure it never happened. It was a case of the proverbial offense being the best defense and it worked so well that Mitt Romney did not know what hit him on election night last Tuesday. There was palpable fear in the land among minorities, women, Hispanics, the poor, the elderly, the infirm as well as some segment of the white population that Mitt Romney was coming after them with a pitch fork and sledge hammer, and would spare none of them from serious pain and much suffering. Mitt Romney was seen as the Grinch that stole their Christmas even before Christmas got here and no one wants to be left holding the bag at Christmas. And for those angry White men who are saying that Obama voters wanted stuff, Icheoku says no one wanted and still wants stuff more than these human excrement - from wanting and taking free Native American's land, to 400 years of wanting and taking free slave labors, to their skewered unfair tax advantaged deductions, to hiring cheap labor and paying people stipends they can hardly live on, to commandeering America's wealth only for themselves and the list goes on ad infinitum. Lets hope that the revolution of last Tuesday will only remain as it is, a mere ballot revolution; as people feel shafted everyday by this section of Americans. Now who is it that really want stuff America? One of them recently told me that it is about lifestyle, as they do not want to compromise what they are used to by not having enough money to sustain it through equitable taxation. To this guy, who admittedly makes high six figures and his ilks, Icheoku says, what about the millions of other Americans who cannot afford a hot meal?

Only a tree gets notice of its impending felling and still stands where it would be found and cut down. Reasonable humans make a run for it to spare their lives and so did the new America majority, the coalition of true representatives of America, who decided to nip the Romney "killing machine" in the bud. This is one reason people ecstatically celebrated President Obama's triumph at the polls as it ensured the Mitt anguish is further deferred if not completely starved off; as it is more likely than not that the Mitt is done and will never entertain the thought of running for the presidency of America, having been irreparably damaged in this campaign. 

The fear of what the oppressive angry white males of America, who have been seething in pain these past four years that a "NIGGER" was occupying "their" White house, would have unleashed on the oppressed people of color, women and children of America was simply too haranguing that people sprang to action and  stop it cold. American people knew better as they understood that a man who was so heartless as to tie his pet-dog on the roof of his car for a twelve hour vacation road trip to Canada, who voiced out that he does not care about 47% of Americans, that he will deny people with pre-existing conditions insurance by cancelling OBAMACARE, that there is a case to be made about "legitimate rape" or that "rape babies are gift from God" by proxy of his support of the chief proponents, that FEMA has no relevance, that more money should be spent on the military instead of on education, that Planned Parenthood should be outlawed, that conditions should be made so unbearable for Hispanics that they self-deport, that Medicare and Social Security should be voucher(alized), that Pell Grant should be abolished, whose actions and utterances forced even a five year old boy in California to tell his teacher, that "although his dad is voting for Romney, he and his mom and his four year old younger brother are voting for Obama in part to save 'Big Bird;" cannot and would not get their backs. It was a case of "we have no inheritance or protection in a Romney presidency, so to Obama we go" and they went.

Now please tell Icheoku if you are part of the millions of Americans any of these inhumane policies would have impacted negatively that you would stay on the sidelines while this man sneaked into office? A matter made worse when Mitt Romney confessed to being a heartless acute and severe conservative and to drive this message further home and to show he was not joking, picked an anti-peoples' poster boy Paul Ryan as his running mate? Two anti-Christ be your brother's keeper injunction candidates, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, running on one ticket gave no one hope or reason to vote for them? Indeed people were scared-stiff and genuinely afrid of the impending knifing to their underbellies that they voted to reject and stop the source of this enveloping fear. When added to his storied take no prisoner cut throat business ethics at Bain Capital and it became everybody run to the hills America. Icheoku says Team Obama read the feeling in the country right and tailored their messaging that Mitt Romney is not to be trusted. As is always the case, people need protection from what they fear and they saw a President Obama as their buffer wall and that friends, was what won the election for President Obama for most part; and who as president and commander in chief must work to protect Americans from Mitt Romney and his vile policies. Thankfully common sense reasonable approach won and Icheoku prays that Americans shall in the next four years and in the President's word, see better days.
