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.

THE SQUAD: HOW COULD THEY LOVE AMERICA?

ICHEOKU says when you love something, you are proud of it and you are bound to do right for and by it; as well as protect it from harm, damage or injury. Such expected disposition also includes not allowing any person to insult, disparage, ridicule or otherwise belittle the thing in any other way. You also do not talk it down, but continuously remain its cheerleader in chief. 

As a result, you somewhat morph into its marketing officer, as any good salesperson would, for any good product which he or she is trying to move. A mother's love for a child is one such good example of such abiding and unconditional love, which a person should have for a child, thing or country. For instance, when you have a house or is inside a house which provides you shelter from the elements, you don't tear it down; rather, you defend and protect it from any and every antagonistic foreign and external foe trying to take the roof out and render you homeless. This is the crux of the current embroilment between real American people and those four nutcase Congresswomen, who have formed themselves into a gang of four, aka The Squad. They do not love America and at best, not deeply enough; and not in such a way as beneficiaries of the American largess such as them, would or are expected to love a country which has given them so much. 

In which other country would their stories of coming from nothing to becoming something have been realized within such a short period of time in their lives. Many marvelous dreams come through, especially for Alexandria Ocasio Cortez who rocketed from a waitressing in a drinking bar to a United States of American Congresswoman from New York. Then add Omar who was a rescue from a Somalian refuge camp less than two decades ago and is now also a United States Congresswoman from Minnesota. The incredible but true story is about the same for the other two Congresswomen from Michigan and Massachusetts who round up the membership of the The Squad, Presley and Thliab. Their story of ONLY IN AMERICA, where dreams frequently come through for those who dare to aspire. 

ICHEOKU says what then is it exactly, that still riles these four women and cause them to hate America this much, despite having benefited so much from what America has to offer. Why do they hate America so much that at every opportunity, they trash it in such a way that you begin to wonder if America is really this horrible, why are they still there and not take a refuge somewhere else. Where is their love of country and gratitude to America which made them who they are today; which still protects, provides and defends them. An America which translated their dreams into realities of epochal achievements, which would have still remained merely a fairly tale dream in so many other countries, but a reality in America. But they chose to remain angry ingrates who pine away in sorrowful condemnation of the country which gave them its all.

Instead of disparaging America, these gals should be singing praises of America for allowing them realize their own American dreams; admitted, millions of others are still chasing their own dreams, while many millions of others have hopelessly watched as their dreams have since turned into unmitigated nightmares. That is what love of country is all about, showing gratitude for the privilege of being a citizen and not disparaging it at any slightest given opportunity. 

ICHEOKU says this is true, notwithstanding the famed right to free speech, freedom of expression ingrained in a democracy. Talking down of one's  country is definitely not the only way to truly exercise one's right to freely speak. That is what enemies and detractors do, but not patriotic citizens who love their country dearly. Patriots fight and defend the honor of their country, but they do not help detractors tear their country down or in any other way, demean it. If these four renegade women spend their time talking ill of their country and literary pulling it down, what then do they expect detractors of America to do or is it a case of unwittingly doing the job for them? 

Therefore, when one continuously belittles, insults and talk down something, such as one's own country, it becomes somewhat difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile such an unflattering conduct with love of country. Such crazy "love" is anathema to the country's well-being, as with such love, the country does not need any other enemy, because the enemy within is enough threat already. 

How could these women be calling for a borderless America; an American without security officials; an America where everything is free without saying how they are going to be paid for ; an America where babies are cavalierly aborted; an America where all the structures that hold it together are torn apart; an America which is completely gutted and remade in their own fantastically maniacal image; an American without an American flag; an America where the entire world's population are emptied into; an America which is a different America as we currently know it and in fact an America which ceases to be America. Yet they pretend to love America and you wonder with all these their desire come through, would there still exist America in the true sense of it. 

Something is wrong with the picture and only a person who hates America would advocate for such radical, complete and total remake of America; because once done, it will no longer be America that will remain, but a caricature of America, a ghost of the America that once was. 

These four knuckleheads who call themselves "The Squad" are guilty of lack of love for America. They have no real and true love for America and possesses shallow lip-service love at best. They do not have such love for country as real patriots do, that makes them pay the ultimate sacrifice for their country if need be. If America were a chattel or commodity and the opportunity avails itself for these women, they would readily auction America off for pittance without batting an eyelid. These women are mad and angry; and their deep seated anger at everything America stands for readily shows and boils out each time they open their anti America acerbic mouths. 

ICHEOKU says will reecho President Donald John Trump's words that these women should freely look elsewhere to anchor their boats of citizenship if they cannot stand America anymore. Good enough, America is still one of the countries that does not bar its citizens from leaving the country whenever they so desire. Rather, it is the deluge of people from other countries wanting to call America home who are flooding America, including those jumping in from the Southern border, that is the problem. How to effectively, sensibly control and regulate their inflow is the issue and not that anybody is stopping those who wants to leave. What a squad of undignified, rascally, feminists anarchists, who are seeking their fifteen minute of fame and in the process trying to destroy America and take it down. Thankfully enough, President Donald John Trump says not under his watch and is fighting back and is winning. Kudos to the MAGA-Nation. #SAYNOTOTHESQUAD. #MAGA/KAG2020.
