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.

'The best way to keep peace is to be ready to destroy evil. If you Pearl Harbor me, I Nagasaki you.' - Ted Nugent.

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.


FOR SAKE OF COUNTRY.


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.

OPERATION VARSITY BLUES: ADMISSION SCANDAL ROCKS AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES & COLLEGES.

ICHEOKU says it is the rich kids syndrome and they must have whatever their hearts desires including placement in choice universities and colleges, regardless of their qualification. Yes indeed, rich parents go out of their way to add feathers to their bragging rights of this and that, and that their kid attended or is attending an elite school somewhere in America or Switzerland boarding schools. That they go out of their way, no matter the cost or sacrifice, to please heirs to their fortune is a fact of consequence and it  cuts across the board, in everything and practically every field in America. 

A drunken Texas rich kid once mowed down and killed three people with a brand new truck which his parents gave him for his 17th birthday and walked away a free man. The defense was the proverbial Affluenza defense that precludes him from liability because he was too spoilt to appreciate the consequences of his actions. There was also another rich kid whose mother hired a prostitute to give him blow job as his 17th birthday present and inside the family's house. Needless to add that free drugs, alcohol and sex are readily at their disposal, sometimes with the help and connivance of their parent, who aid and abet this their choices, just to be "loving" parents, who can go out of their way to show their love and affection. 

That they have access to any designer clothes and labels there is, is also a fact; as well as cars of their choice including very expensive automobiles upon turning 18 years old. Many of course have killed themselves, either by direct suicide or accidental overdose on illegal drugs. Ironically this over indulgence by these rich parents have ended up turning their rich kids into party animals who knows nothing except partying, drugs alcohol and sex; with repeat check in into rehabilitation centers, which to some, have somewhat become a revolving door of excessive indulgence. many have become so spoilt that they have turned into lazy slobs who hate schools and prefer the fast, non responsibility lane, with no accountability either. 

They also lack the disciplined mind required for academic pursuit and hardly finishes High School any longer and when they do, with very low grades; but somewhat you still find them in elite universities and colleges, leaving you wondering how did they get there in the firs place. But over the years, many of their parents have been making hefty donations to endow one chair or the other in those schools, which pass for an indirect bribes to facilitate admitting their wards in the schools. It is also on record that some professors, lecturers and deans are known to exchange bribes for grades and this conduct is somewhat pervasive within the academic environment in America universities and colleges. 

To add salt to the injury, when these privileged kids eventually saunter out of school, parading all manners of indefensible credentials, they still have multiple job offers, in the citadels of their chosen professions and career path, waiting for them, to please make a choice. It is in law, it is in insurance and it is in finance and Wall Street is populated with such rich kids, whose rich parents paved the way with gold for their comfort walk on the moon of life. Literally speaking, they were handed the proverbial golden spatula to compete with children of peasants, whose parents merely provided them with rusted iron tea spoon. 

It is life and a life, now made public with the now completed 8 year long running FBI investigation, dubbed Operation Varsity Blues, which has netted 50 cheats who were involved in the admissions scandal, masterminded by William Singer. A criminal named Singer who sang to the FBI about crimes which he masterminded and you wonder can any criminal prosecution of the culprits been any easier, admitted they will lawyer up with the best legal minds money can procure. That so many liberal Hollywood elites were fingered in the scandal is not surprising, as their acting life and life of fantastical make believe has turned everything in their eyes, as acting, including their children studying for university admission purposes. 

For them, there is a price tag for everything and these busted individuals paid hefty bribes to have their children displace children of poor people, who actually took out time and studied to gain admission into these favored schools, but were cheated of a place by this ring of fraudsters. Hopefully the law will make an example out of the 50 people indicted for the racket, including Hollywood Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, to send a message of deep frown on their perversion. These are people who have been preaching holler than thou sanctimony to President Donald John Trump, but who have now proved themselves to be mere hypocrites, the type Jesus Christ called the Pharisees. What a shame, driven by greed and avarice. Pitifully SAD and thanks to the FBI for unmasking this criminal enterprise.
