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

“What you believe in can only be defined by what you’re willing to risk for it." - Stuart Scheller.

HEDGE YOUR CRISIS.

Never get in bed with a woman whose problems are worse than yours. - Chicago PD.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

Empathy is at the heart of who we are as human beings. - Cardinal Matthew Kukah.

WORDS ON MARBLE.

"Birth is agony. Life is hard. Death is cruel." - Japanese pithy.

REPENT OR PERISH - POPE.

Homosexuality is a sin. It is not ordained by God, therefore same sex marriage cannot be blessed by the church - Pope Francis.

CANCEL CULTURE IS CORROSIVE.

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.

COLORADO CHARADE, NOT THE DEMOCRACY WE CAN BELIEVE IN.

Icheoku says those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable. If this particular man will not allow Americans to chose who they want to lead them, how else does he want them to change an outcome they are not happy with? Violence? Colorado Republican Party chairman Steve House  sure confirmed that his House is not a large tent for everyone as he is prepared to exclude some people he does not like and would rather do such injustice pursuing it. 

What a shame. Americans still have the right to choose who leads them and will not accept the untoward behavior of Colorado Republicans trying to deny Americans the right to choose their leader. The Republican presidential primaries is a contest and in a contest, participants are supposed to be availed equal opportunity to compete. But a situation where the party officials have a dog in the fight and would go to any length to deny a competitor his day in court is simply unacceptable and should be condemned by every righteous person. It is fairness; it is justice; it is equity and it is the only the acceptable operating procedure in any given contest. Let each and every participant be heard and be allowed to be voted for. 

That the Colorado Republican honchos could dare deny the front runner of the Republican Party's presidential primaries, Donald John Trump, the opportunity to be voted for, is rather incredible to say the least. They decided to award all the Colorado delegates to Ted Cruz and the supposed Christian zealot and fanatic happens to find nothing wrong with such brazen act of pervasion? Ted Cruz appears to be a christian in name only and only when it suits him; but fails or rather chooses not to see anything wrong in this injustice that was wrought to Donald Trump. Americans understands this very weird, vampire-looking man from Texas, the reason his moniker "Lyin' Ted" has stuck to him thus far. Icheoku says that an injustice to one is an injustice to all. Today it might be Donald Trump that is at the tip end of the sword, who knows for whom the bells will toll tomorrow. 

Icheoku therefore calls on Colorado republican party honchos to reverse themselves and at worst divide the delegates proportionally. If we can demand of the Chinese Communist Party to open up their electoral system to allow the Chinese people choose their leaders; and often quarrels with Putin's Russia because their system is not transparent, how then does America explain the sham that took place in Colorado? Icheoku says with a democracy like that no one actually needs democracy and we might as well revert to a politburo system where henchmen handpick who they feel is best for the citizens. In the manner Ronald Reagan admonished Soviet Union's Gorbachev to tear down this wall, Icheoku says to Colorado Republic Party Chairman Steve House to reverse the Colorado outcome in the spirit of fairness and justice to everyone of the candidates in the running to become the party's presidential nominee.
