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.

BERNIE SANDERS CROWD SIZE:JOE BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN IS EFFECTIVELY DEAD.

ICHEOKU says it is only a die hard, arch-partisan naysayer, in complete self denial, who will not acknowledge the massive crowd which showed up in Queens for Bernie Sanders' campaign relaunch and endorsement by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The event was spectacularly well attended and ICHEOKU says congratulations to Bernie Sanders and his campaign for putting up such a show of support. AOC and plus two, as well as Michael Moore's contribution to the massive rally is also recognized. It was a great numbers game and the largest crowd ever, pulled by any of the candidates since the Democratic Party's presidential primaries campaign began. 

ICHEOKU says were crowd the only parameter for securing the nomination, then Bernie Sanders is effectively now, the undisputed nominee of the Democratic Party 2020 presidential election. However, whether he will eventually secure the nomination is yet to be seen, as it depends on a lot of other variables. His experience in 2016 factored in, he  might still be denied it because he is not a bona fide member of the Democratic Party, but an Independent who caucuses with the party. But with such a rekindled momentum, in addition to the waves which Elizabeth Warren is currently making, Joe Biden's campaign is effectively now out of commission and in comatose, because being relegated to a third place is not always a good sign for any campaign and extremely very difficult to rebound from, especially a candidate which is mired in corruption allegation. 

Bernie Sanders has every reason to be beaming with smiles, watching the mammoth crowd which showed up at his Queens New York campaign event; at least he has the argument of excitement to table before the Democratic Party henchmen and women as a reason to seriously consider banking on him to give the party the best shot at any meaningful showing on November 3rd, 2020. But he cannot win or defeat the president and nobody can or will; the reason the Democratic Party might still turn him down and not allow him to fly their party's presidential flag as the nominee. 

Anyway, we shall see if Bernie Sanders can replicate such crowd in any other place outside his New York catchment area and may be in California. So until ICHEOKU sees it, what happened in New York might be a one hit wonder and understandably, a sort of making a statement of turf ownership; admitted that will not be enough to win either the nomination or the general election. But overall, the crowd size was impressive and hopefully his heart will not give up on him again, going forward.
