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.

PAUL RYAN FORCED OUT: MITCH MCCONNEL NEXT?

ICHEOKU says one down, one more to go; so when will the tortoise-neck, froggy Senate Leader Senator Mitch McConnell follow suit and scream ME-TOO, am out, gone!. This will help the president begin with a new Congressional leadership he can trust to help him mission accomplish his Make America Great Again agenda. ICHEOKU hereby calls on Senator Mitch McConnell to emulate Paul Ryan and also throw in the towel and retire from the Senate; to make room for and enable President Donald John Trump to have his Congressional leadership. So, Paul Ryan is a good riddance. 

His exit significantly marks the beginning of the end of the Washington Swamp establishment; draining of which, was one of the issues the president campaigned on and for which the American people elected him president. Drain the Swamp effort having finally netted one of its biggest swamp creature, with the soon to be former Speaker Paul Ryan being forced out of the Congress, has now finally regained steam. Paul Ryan  announced that he Is resigning from Congress and will not run again for reelection in November 2018. His departure will help suck out the lifeblood of those other creepy swamp creatures, who are only doing the job for which lobbyist pay them, while neglecting the primary business of the American people, the reason they were sent to Washington in the first place. Therefore ICHEOKU and millions of other American deplorables are glad that at last the active draining of the swamp has indeed finally begun with the resignation of Speaker Paul Ryan.

Paul Ryan never supported the president and was never a fan of the president either; and this position has not changed much till date. He was lukewarm from the inception of the president's race to the White House and has not sufficiently warmed up to the president or his agenda till date. A situation many interpreted to be exhibition of petty jealousy that what he as vice presidential candidate to and with Mr Penguin Mitt Romney could not achieve, Donald Trump accomplished on a first try. During the last 2016 election campaign, he displayed open hostility towards the then candidate Trump, urging Congressional Republican candidates running for reelection to go about their own election and not worry about the presidential candidate or allow themselves to be distracted by the then candidate Trump's tsunami of women troubles. 

Paul Ryan actually showed openly that the president stood no chance of ever winning the election. When the Access Hollywood tape leaked, instead of supporting the party's nominee, he distanced himself from him and even cancelled a previously scheduled joint campaign appearance with then candidate Trump, appearing alone in the campaign event in his native Wisconsin where he denounce Trump, without having the decency to even mention him by name. Paul Ryan also castigated and condemned Trump, to the extent of calling him a racist, when the Charlottesville South Carolina incident happened. 

So in Paul Ryan, President Donald John Trump never had a man-Friday or somebody you will gladly go to war expecting that he will unconditionally get your back. But the president won and he put a face of reluctant cooperation. ICHEOKU says such pretentious fair weather friends are worse than the worst enemy anyone can have. They cannot be trusted nor expected to change into any better supportive friend; but are usually only accommodating a circumstance which they cannot do anything about while secretly wishing differently. Yes, ICHEOKU is emphatic that Speaker Paul Ryan was not a fan nor friend of the president and never helped with the president's election campaign nor ever wanted him to win the election and also did not want him to succeed. His resignation is in fact a welcome relief so that the president can rejig and continue doing what he is doing best, working for the American people.

ICHEOKU says what took him so long as he should have resigned a long time ago, the day Trump won the election without his help and without waiting this long to be forced out or resign. President Donald John Trump won the presidency without his help or support or effort; and as chairman of the Republican Convention 2016, reluctantly showed up to preside but left his heart somewhere else. Even the day he conducted the president on a familiarization tour through the Congress, his face told it all that he was still in shock that the president won. But how he burrowed in this long, pretending to be a loyal team player when he is not, while allowing himself to be daily eaten alive from the inside out, and opposing the president's MAGA policies, including the tariffs on China, is simply mind blowing. 

Anyway, better late than never is always good; admitted never late is always better. Paul Ryan reminds ICHEOKU of Cassius in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and such men are dangerous. ICHEOKU also wishes the soon to be former speaker and member of Congress Paul Ryan all the best in whatever future endeavor he settles on including working as a lobbyist, but is definitely glad that the president will now have the opportunity to have a Speaker of his choice, who will help him accomplish on the many election goodies which he promised the American people. A MAGA speaker who will proudly work with the president and together help the President's Make America Great Again agenda succeed. So long Ryan.
