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.

CNN IS GOING DOWN: TIME TO SEEK A TRUCE IS NOW.

ICHEOKU says what the Fake News Clinton News Network wants to achieve by continuously engaging President Donald John Trump in a media war is simply incomprehensible. The president has nothing to lose and the network has everything to lose in continuing the current atrocious battle between them and the president. As has been shown time and time again, with various opinion polls, the attacks by CNN on President Donald John Trump is not working; it is not eroding the president's presidency and you wonder why then continue a game with such a faulty plan that will lead to nowhere. 

They tried to derail the president's then presidential campaign with their slanted skewed news coverage but did not succeed as the president won the election handily. They have continued their get the president war since the election through the inauguration till date but are not achieving their sinister objective to send the presidency off course. Now it is a full throttle war or words and name calling between them and the president, leaving ICHEOKU to wonder, who has the most to lose continuing the war of words. So the president, having won the election without their support and still successfully presiding over the country without their support; and despite their barrage of attacks and all system go fake news, meant to tarnish the president's image and make it difficult if not impossible to carry on his presidency, what then is their end game here? 

ICHEOKU says any rational, reasonable and responsible news entity would have since backed off, having realized that they embarked on a mission impossible. CNN should have  since cut down on their loses by beating a retreat because continuing in their current lane of travel can only lead to a certain perdition and end up horribly for them. They are the ones that will eventually bleed from the current war by losing viewership and possible patronage from advertisers; needless to add that their rating has tanked measurably too. But not the Cable News Network as they are possessed by some demon which is continuously egging them on and to a place from which they might find it very difficult to climb down from, except they take a plunge of a certain death. ICHEOKU says the management of CNN should as matter of urgency, pull back their hound dogs and leave President Donald John Trump alone to do the job for which millions of Americans voted for him to do. They should face their business of news reporting and cease being a tool of the opposition with their nonsensical fake news hatchet job; and see if they can begin to regain their so many lost grounds.

The saddest part of it all is that CNN is aware of the indomitable fighting spirit of President Donald John Trump. A man who winning is everything and who does not take any competition lightly; and who would not back down from the current face-off with CNN until an assured victory is achieved. A man who puts his all in everything he does and who will bring the same thing that has always worked for him when faced with opposition to bear on CNN. A savvy master brander, who has previously successfully branded people and took them down to a ditch from which they never climbed out from. A man who took on the entire Republican Party establishment and won; who face down sixteen presidential primaries contestants and trumped them all. A man who took up the Democrats alongside  the Clinton machine and triumphed. A man who took on a sitting President Obama and his Vice President Joe Biden and came out tops. A man who took up practically the whole world, including the Vatican, Mexico, France and whatever else was out there and still triumphed. So why on earth does CNN think that their own case will be any different or that they stand a chance in hell of vanquishing the indefatigable Donald John Trump, now POTUS 45th. 

Unfortunately for CNN, the president has now marked them with his usual saint of death; a parchment sort of, of Fake News, which apparently has stuck as people are now referring to CNN by the president's moniker, Fake News CNN. CNN does not stand a chance in this fight and will find it difficult if not impossible to shake off this name once it takes hold. Therefore they should do what any sensible person or entity would do, back off and back down; and stop their antagonistic attacks and confrontation of President Donald John Trump, the 45th. Jeb Bush was tagged Low Energy Jeb and it stuck and took him out of the Republican Party's primaries. Marco Rubio was also branded Little Marco and that ended his presidential nomination aspiration. Ted Cruz also fell victim of Trump's branding and he took him down with Lyin' Ted. Then came the mother of all branding Crooked Hillary which led to the defeat of Hillary Clinton in the election. Now CNN is tagged Fake News CNN and like all previous victims of Trump's marking, is headed to that tunnel of irrelevance and certain death. 

So if CNN is conscious of this historical antecedents of not too long ago, why then do they think that their fate would be any different from these victims of the Trump masterful branding. What exactly then is CNN's game plan or planned objective since it has been proved time without number that their anti-Trump reportage does not move the needle regarding President Donald John Trump's popularity or his ability to win elections or reach out to his millions of fans and followers. The president has nothing to lose and having lost nothing thus far, it is only CNN that the odds are stacked up against. It is only CNN that will come out from the present feuding scathed and bloodied; and left with a mouth full of regrets, wondering what brought upon themselves. Therefore picking a fight which one cannot win is not wise nor a smart decision; rather it is foolishness defined and in the battle of Trump V. CNN, the Cable News Network appears to be losing and only a quick retreat will salvage whatever is left of its reputation. 

What is a News Network worth afterall if its news is regarded as fake news? What is CNN worth afterall if what they broadcast to the world is received with some pinch of salt as possible fake. Yes. people tune in to news media to learn what is new and breaking in the world but who will continue to tune in to CNN if their mind is tainted that what they might hear or see is probably manufactured fake. This is the problem CNN has and this is what they must guard and protect by  calling for a cease fire in their battle with President Trump. The president has nothing to lose; has won an election before and will win a second term, regardless of what CNN reports or decides to report about him. Therefore he who has more to lose should seek a truce and end the current ongoing brickbat between the president and CNN and CNN is that entity. 

For whatever it is worth, the CNN of Bernard Shaw's fame is definitely behind us and regaining that past glory might be somewhat difficult. Whether a management reshuffle or general reorganization or rebranding of the network will work and take it away from its current homosexual-tinged operation, to something more of a center this and center that organization, would do the magic, ICHEOKU does not know. But whatever would work should be explored immediately in order to save the network from the precipice which it is fast speeding to. At least the network can start its rehabilitation by turning away from its anti President Donald John Trump reportage and face other issues of greater importance and relevance to their viewers and the market target of their sponsors. Enough of the attacks, especially one which is not making any dent on the presidency of President Donald John Trump. The moniker FAKE NEWS CNN will very soon become indelible and such a kiss of death is not what CNN would wish on itself in the news business. They must therefore do the needful now and salvage themselves and reputation and end the war on President Donald John Trump and for their own good.
