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

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.

NEW YORK TERRORIST ATTACK AS MAN DRIVES VEHICLE INTO CROWD.

ICHEOKU says it is not only and should not be only when a Muslim or Arab-looking person strikes that the act aggregates to terrorism. Nope, it also includes and should include any infliction of harm and fear on the public psyche by any individual regardless of race or religion which is meant to cause panic and unmitigated alarm. The driving of a car into a crowd in Times Square New York City is such instant and yes, ICHEOKU is emphatic that not only Muslims commit terrorist acts and therefore the loony who drove his car into the crowd in New York City is a terrorist and should be treated as one, at least as a domestic terrorist and dealt accordingly as one. 

Just listen to some account of witnesses who beheld the nightmare unfold before their eyes: "Pandemonium erupted when the vehicle barreled through the prime tourist location as 26-year-old Richard Rojas made a quick U-turn onto 42nd Street and then drove up the sidewalk for three blocks and was just mowing people down. He didn't stop; he just kept going for some more people to mow down until slamming into a pole; before being tackled and arrested." Richard Rojas has now been charged, but not for terrorism but for murder one person who was killed and attempted murders of twenty two other victims who were injured but did not succumb to their injuries.

There is nothing different from the fellow who drove his car into a crowd in Times Square New York from those truck drivers who drove their vehicles into a Christmas market in Germany or into a Bastille revelers in France or unto River Thames bridge near the Parliament in London. They are all the same and they were all geared at inflicting maximum casualties, causing fear and panic among the citizenry. In New York. one person was killed and twenty two more others were wounded and such cannot be swept under the rug as just a drugged out man who was freaking out and mistakenly drove on the wrong direction. ICHEOKU says no, as his act were premeditated, calculated and methodically carried out; otherwise why did he drive on the wrong side of the road and intentionally plowed his car into a lot of tourists and people who were just going about their daily routine, killing one person and injuring twenty two others. 

It is therefore unacceptable for anyone to try and spin it any differently from those other attacks in Europe or Britain, because they all achieved the same result - they caused panic and terror amongst the public, regardless of how temporary the duration. ICHEOKU therefore calls on the authorities to throw the book at the driver and treat him as they would treat any other enemy combatant including any ISIS terrorist operative caught or captured on the battle field. Those foreign terrorists are not any more dangerous or worse than the demented man who killed one person and wounded twenty two others in Times Square New York City. He is evil and he is a terrorist. Yes, ICHEOKU is emphatic that Richard Rojas is a terrorist and should be treated as such and tried under the terrorist laws of both New York and the United States of America. That will be the only acceptable option here and the dead and the injured will agree with ICHEOKU that such a dastardly act requires a commensurate deterrent in order to scare away possible copy-cats from trying. 

ICHEOKU says may the soul of the victim rest and may those injured twenty two power through a quick speedy recovery. What a murder of innocence that people can no longer freely and leisurely walk around without looking over their shoulders to make sure that no truck or car is barreling down the pavement or on the wrong side of the road to mow them down. Richard Rojas just did that and ICHEOKU strongly believes that so many other copycats are lying in wait to see how his case is treated before similarly attempting their own criminal stunt. ICHEOKU wonders how people have become so degenerated that they do not care any more about human lives, which do not seem to mean a thing to them any more. ICHEOKU says tired of living, just go jump off but please leave other people alone and not be a facilitator of their untimely exit.
