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

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.

BETO O'ROURKE: BORN TO DO IT, BUT COULDN'T.

ICHEOKU says he jumped up like a man but floundered down and out like a chicken, intimidated and not man enough to go the full hog. In President Donald John Trump's own words, 'Beto came out of Texas into national limelight smoking hot, but quickly retreated back to Texas as cold as ice, humbled and crestfallen.' Yes indeed, Robert Francis O'Rourke was so many things to so many people. He excited a base which shortly after, began wondering what they bargained for in Beto and started withdrawing their support as quickly as possible. It led to the latest development in his presidential nomination bid, as he beat it, recoiled back to his native El Paso Texas, thus ending his otherwise improbable run for the presidency. He found out the hard way that he was not born to be in it. 

As the president remarked, Beto just found out that running for the presidency is not that easy; that it is not a game for everybody, as only the big boys dare to even try. Beto O'Rourke was not ready for such a prime time heavy duty because it was above his pay grade. Hopefully, he was listening to Michael Jackson's song 'Beat It' as he drove his van back to El Paso from Iowa and hopefully face timing it like many of his other puerile activities as well. 

ICHEOKU is emphatic that Beto did himself in and as an architect of his own downfall, has none other to blame but himself. Like Howard Dean of New Hampshire and his hellish yelling yeah-scream, Beto was too exuberant with his campaign. He approached it as a child's play and something strictly for a "woke" audience only; especially the young and restless liberal youth of America. He was regularly casually dressed and jumped on top of every desks, tables and chairs he can lay his eyes on; as well as any other object or thing that had a surface which can carry and withstand his weight. He was face timing every sundry inanities that he did, thinking that any serious person wanted to see his long drawn face with his mouth wide open in a dentist's office. 

Beto was changing a flat tire and thought that it was such a big deal that a presidential candidate wanna be, must share it with the world. He took a flu shot and felt it was cool to show that he can take a shot without crying or flinching. Even when he did diaper duties or fetched groceries from the car, he shared it on social media. American people were wondering if Beto was matured enough to actually realize the duties of the office of the president, for which he was aspiring to; being distracted with such petty little things, instead of sharing big ticket ideas as befits the presidency. 

The stupidity of his acts eventually got the better part of him and he took it a notch further, proclaiming on national television that he will forcibly take Americans' AR15 and other high capacity weapons. He also said that he will also revoke churches' tax exemption status because they are anti abortion; and you wonder who was advising him and whether he even has advisers or does not listen to what they have to say. This is a man from Texas and understands fully well what the 2nd Amendment guarantees on firearms means to Texans as well as the whole gun loving Americans. But Beto could care less how rivetingly scary, his pronouncements were to those God fearing, gun totting Americans who became afraid that Beto will deprive them of their two highly prized possessions, their church and their guns. 

Without tax exemption, many churches will not thrive or even remain operational. Beto knows how much religion means to greater portions of Americans, yet he threatened their  existence. Beto knows that if churches lose their tax exemption status, that they will wither away, but the knucklehead Beto did not first think it properly through, before opening his wide mouth. Both utterances, he must be regretting now as he announced his exit from the Democratic Party's presidential nomination campaign 2020. 

If only he was tongue-disciplined, he could still have remained the great white Democratic hope for the White House 2020. But he got ahead of himself and his mouth parted ways with his thoughts, resulting in the many misspeaks which is any politician's worst nightmare and albatross. It kept his campaign in a single digit boondoggle until he made peace with the reality that Beto O'Rourke cannot win the presidential nomination primaries of his Democratic Party, talkless of the presidency of United States of America; and he beat it as fast back to Texas as he had emerged on the national scene. 

The country will miss him, especially his comic relief as that white man who hated whiteness so much that he regretted being a white man. His unceasing hand waving was also so noticeably disturbing that many wondered if he had a hand waving disorder syndrome that he couldn't keep his hand's muscles under control and from constantly flailing. He was also loud and shouts all the time, thinking that his audience are deaf and hard of hearing that he must speak on top of his voice before they could hear him. He was energetic, admitted he deployed it wrongly, bouncing all over the place and jumping on top of whatever surfaces he could find. 

Anyway, he has insulted white Americans so much and they have responded not necessarily in kind, but by tacitly telling him that he won't get any where near the White House, as long as they are still the majority in America and definitely not with their votes. Now, he can recoil back to his El Paso or even step over across the boarder into Mexico and stay there permanently with the people who he loves more and leave American people the heck alone. How any person could so hate his own race and people, is simply beyond reasonable and rationality. 

Hopefully, his move have now permanently sealed whatever fate Beto has of ever running for any higher office again; at least not in this lifetime. With his many antics and theatrics now fully ingrained in our memory, it will be hard for Beto to, in the future, re-present himself for election, knowing that American people knows that once a quitter always a quitter and will not want to have anything to do with him again on the issue of the presidency. His words finally caught up with him and there is no magic wand known to man which is capable of washing our brains free of his many inarticulate and sometimes insensitive offensive statements; not even Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton's 33,000 deleted emails' erasing bleach could successfully do the wash. 

ICHEOKU says as another one bites the dust, realistic that the goodwill which American people had for him has since departed, the burning question now is when will other fledgling candidates in the Democratic Party's presidential nomination primaries, including the angry bitchy Kamala Harris and Spartacus Cory Booker follow suit. They stand no chance whatsoever and hell will first freeze over before they can improve their chances at anchoring their boats in the White House. All of the candidates who are below two digits points should hurry off the scene quickly, so that they can make way for American people to start conducting a real evaluation of the top tier candidates. They have clogged the race for so long that now is time for them to move away to make way for the real contenders Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden, the last placed candidate among the four to finally present themselves and their programs to the American people. So long Beto!
