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.

BRETT STEPHENS: A BED BUG?

ICHEOKU says in fact he actually looks like a bed bug, the human type that is; which stealthily undermines other people and eats them hollow from the inside out. A two-faced person who pretends to be a friend before you, but sabotages you behind you. 

His type is who you will find in Facebook, in charge of vetoing what is acceptable to their "community" and who would readily block you because you expressed an opinion, which according to him, is  too mean spirited and does not agree with their "community" standards. But what constitutes their "community standards" is very subjective as there is no broad spectrum of a one cap fits all rule for this "standards." It becomes whatever they wake up to and deemed not compliant to their community standards; and they usually make it up as they go. 

This guy is a snowflake of some sort who cannot take a name calling and probably resorts to his mom for answers to life's problems, issues and challenges. ICHEOKU wonders why he did not even call his mom first for advise on what to do when somebody called him a bed bug. What a lousy fella who cannot take an ordinary joke. So what if he was called a bed bug or haven't so many other people been called worse names. 

Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton for example took it like a man, with firm understanding that boys don't cry. Little Marco Rubio did not react so much except to try and hit back with his small hands comment. Lying Ted never recoiled or pleaded for mercy and of course the irredeemable deplorables are still standing tall and waxing philosophically about 2020. Mike Cohen is a rat and he is still alive in prison, begging the question which part of planet earth did this guy come from, who could not take an ordinary joke or a roast. 

Such a linguine spine and he must have been home-schooled not to have been tortured by bullies or experienced the challenges of hazing while growing up. ICHEOKU too has been called names before and is still here; but that a journalist or rather a columnist who should be used to such metaphorical speak and who probably have used such secondary name figure of speech to refer to another person, was this sensitive to being called a bed bug, is indeed a  testament that this Generation Z millennials are a lost people who cannot take care of themselves if left alone. 

What a cry baby; a matter made worse because he had the false audacity to say that the "offending" professor should visit his home and call him a bed bug to his face and that he will take whatever words or language the professor might use without being offended. Query, if he cannot take an ordinary Twitter joke, how then could he stand being called the same name to his face and in his home, which offended him on Twitter. Something is definitely wrong with this fella's emotional fortitude for him to find being called a bed bug so offensive that he almost burst out crying because of the hurt feeling. 

How about President Donald John Trump who has been called all manners of unprintable names and he is still standing, strongly tall and headed to an almost assured reelection victory on November 3rd, 2020. But here is a 45 year old man, a husband and a father of three, crying because he was called a bed bug and you wonder how he would even defend the honor of his wife and kids if he is this girlie sissy male who is overtly offended for being called a bed bug. Bed bug is a universally used moniker for trouble makers. ICHEOKU agrees with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that Mister Bed Bug abused his position when he tried to get the professor fired over something "so insignificant" as being called a bed bug and that he could be so incensed that he was so called. 

Even if bed bug is not a metaphor, what triggered such a reaction in him must be something deeply seated in his memory. It is possible that someone had used those words before to refer to him and he found the professor's joke a cruel coincidence which validates his fears that there must be something about him or the way he looks that is bed bug like. Truth hurts and he felt that he actually is a bed bug and that the world knows that he is a bed bug. Imagine deactivating his Twitter account just because he was called a bed bug and it wasn't as if it was Twitter that called him a bed bug. A definite case of the chicken bending its neck for the stew pot that cooked it, instead of the knife that severed its head. 

ICHEOKU says Mister Bed Bug is definitely over sensitive and should find a dark dank hole to crawl into and hibernate for protection from the world. He has shown by his puerile reaction that he is not a big boy and is not made of a sterner stuff, hence undeserving of both his profession and position. Even CNN's Chris Fredo Cuomo losing his tops because he was called Fredo was not this bad. Mister Bed Bug Brett Stephens, ICHEOKU says hello.
