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

DO YOU?.

“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.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

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.

BOSTON AND CHARLOTTESVILLE SHOWS, WHAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

ICHEOKU says it is due to one thing and one thing only, the police did their job in one city while they chose to stand idly by and do nothing in the other city. This is what ended up being the major difference from the charade that was Virginia and the good job put up in Massachusetts. But in the Commonwealth of Virginia, in its city of Charlottesville, somebody in authority made the conscious decision not to allow the police to do their job; to protect a group of people who were legally doing what they were authorized to do by the Constitution of the United States of America and for which they obtained required necessary permit to do. They allowed a bunch of trouble making rabble rousers to crash the party and with it the mayhem that was witnessed in Charlottesville, Virginia. 

So, anyone drawing a comparative analysis between the two cities protests must be mindful of the political undertones that was in place in both places, which sabotaged one protest rally and made monsters of some people and the other one which followed a textbook detail of how to police a lawful event and avoid unnecessary tension in the land. ICHEOKU has no dog in the fight and could care less what any pinhead hater wants to say, but categorically rejects the current umbrage against the President of the United States of America Donald John Trump as being responsible for what went down in Charlottesville, because he is not. 

The president, as the father of the nation had to admonish both sides of the political fringed spectrums to cut the crap and be of better behavior. Anyone expecting him to have taken sides is mistaken, because as a president of all Americans, he is supposed to be impartial in all issues and matters involving the citizens of the nation. He did not start racial divisions in America, they preceded his presidency and they will still be around long after he completes his term or terms in office. When two children are engaged in a fight, any responsible parents have to first stop the fight, listen to their stories, before apportioning blame accordingly. The president spoke well on Monday when he said that both sides behaved badly; and again, the president was right on Tuesday when he called out the Nazis for their bad behavior after finding out the facts of what happened and once again, the president did not misspeak when on Wednesday he reiterated that there is always two parties to a conflict. 

ICHEOKU therefore calls on everybody to move on from the current Charlottesville nonsense and refocus on how to solve the multitude of problems facing the nation; instead of expending useful manpower dribbling about nothingness. Enough of the divisions and enough of the finger pointing at the White House; moreso, now that Steven Bannon has gone, once again a show of proof by the president that he is not beholden to any nationalists movement nor have been taken hostage by any white separatist group including the KKK. Americans should therefore move forward and allow the president a chance and the opportunity to do what he needs to do to help Make America Great Again.
