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.

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.

DONALD TRUMP FEUDS POPE FRANCIS, CROSSED THE LINE?

Icheoku says this is coming from the same pope who not too long ago told the world 'who is he to judge' of people who choose to love and marry differently?  Then the politically-correctness pope deferred to the powerful world gay community but now suddenly is ready to judge and adorning the garb of a judge is now making pronouncements as to who is or is not a christian? Judging a brave, bold and courageous American who is standing up firm against politics as usual; against politicians not doing their job to secure American borders from illegal migrations and infiltrations; and promising to make America great again. 

Query, why does the pope lock his doors in the Vatican City or are those four walls of his apartment not a form of wall to fence off unwanted and uninvited trespassers and intruders alike? Why is the Vatican city walled off and why does entry into the Cistern Chapel regulated and its doors locked as and at when due? Some would argue that it is for the safe keep of the frescoes and artworks dotting the whole place. So what is then wrong in trying to also keep Americans and what is in America safe with a wall? This then leads to the question why does the pope and his church keep their treasures here on earth? Why did they not listen and heed the provisions of Mathew 6:19-21; Matthew 19:21 and such other many verses of the Bible that warns against earthly possessions. So speaking of who is not a christian, does the fact that the Vatican owns properties and assets valued at over $35 billion while many God's children all over the world are languishing in abject poverty and starvation still make them christians? 

Does this their attitude of keeping stuff, including those their Father Mbaka of AMEN Nigeria did not know what to do with upon his transfer, not negate these biblical injunctions against accumulating earthly treasures and possessions; especially when millions of God's children are languishing of hunger and abject poverty from India to Africa to Latin America to even the United States of America? Icheoku asks what has the Vatican done to help out these millions of starving Kenyans, Ethiopians, Eritreans and other impoverished African countries who are suffering from famine, starvation, wars and other disasters. Yet the Vatican is awashed with billions of dollars and you wonder who are they stashing the money for and they are Christians? The good news however is that no one tells Americans what to do or who to chose to lead them. Therefore, the Vatican should stop trying to influence the outcome of the upcoming  American presidential election because it is not their business who Americans chooses to lead them. 

Moreso, Americans do not try to influence the outcome of Vatican's election or concave, when they decide who they want to lead them as pope of their church. Lucky enough, Americans are always wary of the Vatican and it nearly cost John F Kennedy his election and subsequently hounded John Kerry, another Catholic divorcee, who unsuccessfully ran for United States president because Americans do not trust Vatican and do not want their president beholding to the pope. The pope's uncalled for outburst can only help consolidate Donald Trump's ongoing revolution to make America great again; because in matters of American welfare and issues, Americans come first before the pope. Americans cannot take orders or allow their election to be influenced by just one religious leader out of the so many other religious leaders of different religions which the world has. The pope is leading about 1billion people in a world that has over 7 billion people. so?

The somewhat Vatican's attempt at intervening in America's presidential election reminds Icheoku of Fela Anikulapo Kuti's song "Religion na (is) politics". it makes one to wonder what is the pope's business meddling in a purely internal affairs of America - the expressed intent to protect the borders of  an independent sovereign state of America. It is such meddling and always telling people what to do and how to behave and morality including their shifting positions on gaydom, divorce and now birth control that is continually depleting its follower-ship. People are smarter today than to be led by the nose from the Vatican City. Icheoku recalls that Britain broke away from the Catholic Church for among other things, the   payment and disbursement of Peter's pence; giving rise to  the formation of Anglo-Catholic (Anglican) church. 

Icheoku is delighted that the Donald told the pope to wait a minute, as his plans is merely to protect a sovereign territory's borders and that it has nothing to do with the Vatican or any other country for that matter. Good enough too, the Donald is a real man with two great steal balls in his groins and so took on the pope decisively. Like with the past battles, he took on the establishment and survived; he has taken on illegal immigration and survived; he has taken on the mighty Bush family and survived; he has taken on politics as usual and survived; he has taken on Muslims terrorists and survived; he has taken on all manners of interest and pundits and survived and will again survive the current pope's interpretation of who is a Christian.  A pope who has been engaged in active papal politics since his ascension and who is known, like the bouncer he once was, to bend hands until he mission accomplish an objective, will be told not this time. He did it with Cuba and Obama and suddenly fifty years old frozen relationship is being thawed. 

Now he wants the southern border to be thrown wide open for the country to be overrun by Mexicans; except that the pope did not ask Angel Merkel and the Germans how funny they are finding their own Syrian refugees experiment. Icheoku says for the pope to butt out from trying to influence the outcome of the coming American presidential election and to quit playing politics with America's national security interest, an initiative which Donald Trump has taken on strongly as protecting the borders will be his priority number one. Nobody is against anyone coming to anyone's house; but please do it through the door and don't try to jump in through the window, especially at night, otherwise you become a burglar who deserves to be treated as one. Finally, Icheoku says if it means Donald Trump taking on the entire world in order to make America great again, so be it; but the task at hand must be mission accomplished including building the wall, the Trump Wall. Donald Trump lets make America great again, build that wall.
