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.

JOHN BOLTON: FIRED OR RESIGNED, IS OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

ICHEOKU says whether he was fired or was asked to resign or he voluntarily tendered his resignation is irrelevant. The only controlling authority here and which evidenced what truly happened is that John Bolton's clearance to the White House as the National Security Adviser has been revoked and he is now a person non grata therein. Meanwhile, his former boss, President Donald John Trump is still the Chief in the White House and that explains everything which anybody wants to know about what took place, as the lesser dog had to make way. 

So, Mr Walrus should have respectfully maintained a dignified silence as he packed his personal belongings out of the Office of the National Security Adviser to the president and not become just another disgruntled former employee who is lashing out and trying to "put the records straight", as nobody is interested in the journey traveled since the destination is clearer definitive. As is with such cases of failed romance, each party always tries to paint the picture in their best light; but the bottom line is clear, the man on top stays and the squealing minion is out. 

The sequence of events is therefore irrelevant as the result speaks for itself and voluminously:- JOHN BOLTON, OUSTED. The semantics and terminology deployed to codify what happened won't a thing change as John Bolton is no longer the National Security Adviser to the president, period. John Bolton is a hawk and deeply entrenched in the Washington DC's Military Industrial Complex, war profiteers, who always force wars on presidents so that they can make billions of dollars through military contracting. But they met their match in President Donald John Trump, a man of peace, a dove, who had promised Americans that there will be no more wars under his watch and is following through on that promise. A man who keeps his promises and has become a promise keeper and who is determined to fight off these war mongers and has now fired their agent in the White House. 

ICHEOKU says imagine how many wars John Bolton would have drawn Americans into, if not for a president who is tough and courageous and has swathed every move, ploy and plot hatched by John Bolton to force his hand into war. From Iraq to Afghanistan and Syria and you wonder why he does not want America to end all the endless wars. Then add Iran, North Korea, China and even Russia, which if John Bolton had his way, America would have been simultaneously waging multilateral wars right at this very minute. Meanwhile, none of John Bolton's children, if he has any child, is in the military fighting; yet he wants other peoples children, who bravely enlisted to defend America, to continue to die in needless and endless wars throughout the world, so that his defense contractors buddies can continue feeding fat on American resources. 

Imagine too the progress which America could have made  on nearly all these flash points if only they had engaged some of these adversarial countries in round table discussions. But John Bolton said no, as his loyalty lies with his friends in the Military Industrial Complex and to the chagrin of a man of peace, the president who appointed him National Security Adviser and woke up to the fact that he has had it with John Bolton and had to let him go. Whether fired or resigned, the most important thing is that for the sake of giving peace a chance, John Bolton was relieved of his duties at the White House and when he wakes up tomorrow will not be entering the White House to occupy his desk as the National Security Adviser to the president. 

Now, let Americans watch and see how progress will be made on all the simmering fronts, since the sword of Damocles which has been hovering over the necks of these "enemies of America" has been removed. ICHEOKU says no man, especially a leader, negotiates under the duress of either you take what is on the table or we will unleash the awesome fearsome might of the United States military on your country. So, to all peace loving peoples of the world, John Bolton's offload is a good riddance; admitted the hawks and war mongering war profiteers of America will be brooding their loss on an ally inside the inner sanctum of the White House. Mr Walrus, ICHEOKU says so long and enjoy your next appointment at fake news CNN.
