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.

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.

JUST THE FACT.

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.

LAVAR BALL: A DESPICABLE INGRATE AND BAD ROLE MODEL.

ICHEOKU says never has a human-being been this despicable and dumb, that instead of hiding his face in shame that his thieving son nearly caused an international incident when he took his shoplifting act overseas, he is here dismissively treating what his son did as no big deal and also belittling the effort that made his son's release possible. 


LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo Ball, one of three UCLA players, who were caught red handed shoplifting in China, is one big foolish oaf and a loud mouth who should have known better not to display the stupidity of a comment which he made to ESPN. How any responsible father would so impetuously say what he said regarding the shameful criminal behavior of his son and added insult to the injury by not being appreciative of the presidential power that freed his son is simply unfathomable. ICHEOKU says if President Donald John Trump did not help and actually facilitated the release of his son and his two criminal accomplices, who did? Or was it his little self that strong armed President Xi Jing Ping and ordered him to release his son immediately; knowing that the culture over there has zero tolerance for such irresponsible criminal behavior such as stealing. 

ICHEOKU agrees with the President Donald John Trump's social media director, Dan Scavino, that his shoplifting son, LiAngelo Ball, would still be in Chinese criminal custody and for a long, long, long time without President Donald John Trump's assistance and intervention; for which this buffoon should have been eternally grateful and not open his mouth like a foolish blowhard big loud mouth which he apparently is. A more responsible, well disciplined father should have personally thanked the president and thereafter, quietly kept away to allow the incident to melt away. But no, he inserted himself into the matter and thereby successfully reintroduced his son's criminal behavior back into the limelight centerstage. 

His son LiAngelo Ball, alongside his two other colleagues in shoplifting, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill, were arrested in Hangzhou China for stealing sunglasses in a Louis Vuitton shop. They were facing possible ten years imprisonment in a Chinese prison following a likely conviction; presidential plugs were pulled to secure their release and this LaVar Ball is now saying what? A matter made worse because the three criminals have already owned up to their criminal activities, apologized for their criminal behavior and also expressed their gratitude to the president for facilitating their release. But this ostrich is saying what? In their words of gratitude, the trio said: "To President Trump and the United States government, thank you for taking the time to intervene on our behalf. Thank you for helping us out." 
So could LaVar Ball help the world understand what he understands this to mean or how else he otherwise interprets this show of contrite and gratitude by his son and the two others or is hisnuerons possibly not firing properly not to fully appreciate what went into his son's release from an assured lengthy prison term. The three musketeers stole, the three musketeers were identified from video recording and the goods were found in the three musketeers' bags, following a police search and this LaVar Ball still has the face to say what? 
ICHEOKU admonishes that a responsible father who did a good job raising his son would have hushed and not pour further gasoline into the inferno of shame. He should have allowed the three shoplifters, one of who is his ill raised son LiAngelo Ball, to have the "great life" which the president had wished them. But no, the big mouth is rather blabbing like a drunk, who is so inebriated not to to appreciate the magnitude of what his son and his friends did and for which President Donald John Trump's phone call to Chinese Jing Jin Ping helped solve. Any good father would have also followed up with ensuring that his son and his fellow thieving two friends heed the president's advise to go out and give a big Thank You to President Xi Jinping of China who made their release possible. Emphasizing too the president's fatherly advise to have a good life and be careful because there are many pitfalls on the long and winding road of life!" But not this rambler. 
Just listen to the his gibberish and you wonder what manner of a man he is indeed that raised such a badly behaving son.Whether he is actually the bad influence on his son is deducible from his reaction to this thievery; which suggested to his son that it is okay to steal or take what does not belong to him. Hear him: "Who? What was he over there for? Don't tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out. As long as my boy's back here, I'm fine. I'm happy with how things were handled. A lot of people like to say a lot of things that they thought happened over there. Like I told him, 'They try to make a big deal out of nothing sometimes.' I'm from L.A. I've seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses." 
ICHEOKU says the fact that such criminal misbehavior happens and/or is acceptable in the Hood where the blabber mouth grew up, does not otherwise legitimize it. The criminality of stealing, robbing and dispossessing people of their belongings or taking something from a store and not paying for it, is all frowned criminal misbehaviors for which the law not only frowns but pushes the offenders. What his ill mannered and poorly raised, mannerless son, LiAngelo Ball, did, was in addition to being criminal, deed both reprehensible and inexplicable. 

LaVar Ball should therefore be ashamed of raising such a thieving son, instead of so brazenly trying to explain away his conduct as if it is no big deal. From his idiotic reaction, it is possible he was in fact the reason his son did not turn up a good boy nor knows any better or aware that stealing is wrong. He probably watched his father do similar things in the past himself or he, LiAngelo Ball, has gotten away with doing such things in the past, without any consequence or admonition from his father, who rather approved of such his despicable conduct. Otherwise why would this man not scold his son who disgraced himself, his family and country, by shoplifting overseas. His reaction simply shows that he has no compunction and lacks the decency to frown at evil and has no aversion for criminal behavior. Pitiful.
