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

WORDS ON MARBLE.

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.

MCCABE 60 MINUTES CBS INTERVIEW: NOT PROBING ENOUGH.

ICHEOKU says it is possible that the CBS 60 Minutes Sunday evening News program has outlived its usefulness and it is about time it is rested. The program has surely seen its glorious days which unfortunately is now behind it. What it now presents is a shadow of its past storied self. A program which used to be very insightful and incisive that it earned itself a must watch television program on Sundays evenings, but it no longer lives up to its billing. It is steadily on the decline and the management of CBS should seriously consider resting it or re-branding it, in order not to entirely lose its viewership. 

Everyone tuned in to see some questions answered by the former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, concerning Election 2016, Hillary Clinton's Email-gate scandal and of course the Russian Collusion scandal. But at the end of the interview many people were disappointed that they were left more confused than they were when they tuned in to the CBS 60 Minutes program interview of the former deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Andrew McCabe. None of the needed questions were asked nor answered and the man who is the chief architect of it was right there to be confronted with the questions but it never happened.

Many people were expecting the moderator to ask the former deputy why the FBI did the shoddy job on Hillary Clinton's interview and email scandal investigation; and why no Special Counsel was appointed to investigate her; but such was considered necessary with the Russian Collusion. Whether it is true that the Russian Collusion investigation was triggered from a dossier paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and finally, knowing what he knows today regarding lack of any evidence so far about a Russian Collusion, whether he would have instigated it and if he has any apology to tender to both President Donald John Trump and the American people for the wild goose chase which the investigation so far turned out to be. 

ICHEOKU says these and so many other questions were begging for answers, but CBS moderator Scott Pelley either went blank or purposely went soft on the former deputy director and intentionally guided his questionings only to the usual Trump bashing, instead of getting to the nitty gritty of what actually went down under the then James Comey and Andrew McCabe led Federal Bureau of investigation. Like many people that watched the program, ICHEOKU says was disappointed, as it was a wasted one hour, seating on the edge of the sofa waiting for the bombshell to drop, particularly as to the Hillary Clinton email investigation and the foundational basis for the Russian Collusion. 

The only thing that anybody probably took away from the interview is his allegation that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wanted to wear a wire to secretly record President Donald John Trump, for use in a possible Article 25 removal of the president from office. However when prodded further on what led to the alleged conversation with Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe stuttered that he didn't remember and you wonder if he had remembered every other thing that took place in the FBI, why only pull blank as to that material fact. 

Anyway, glad that he is now gone from the FBI and hopefully, the cleaning of house of the bureau will continue until completely restored to its previous non partisan, equal opportunity investigative agency. Hopefully too, the Hillary Clinton's emailgate scandal can be reopened and a thorough investigation done, in order to ensure fairness and prevent such lopsided work from ever being done in the future. But overall, the 60 Minutes CBS interview of Andrew McCabe was lackluster to say the least. Not worth the time spent watching it.
