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.

BAGHDAD EMBASSY ATTACK: MAKE IRAN AND IRAQ PAY A STIFF PRICE.

ICHEOKU says apparently Iran wanted to replicate what they did to the American embassy in Tehran during their 1979 revolution. The Iraqi government on the other hand is also complicit because of their failure to protect the American embassy on their soil. Both countries therefore are jointly responsible for the attack on the American embassy in Baghdad and must be held accountable for executing and permitting the attack, respectively. The two countries must be made to pay for the cost of repairs and replacements of whatever were  damaged and/or destroyed during the mayhem. 

Enough of tolerating these maniacs exploding at the slightest provocation and taking it out on America and its interests in the Middle East. None of them ever dares to destroy Russia's or Chinese assets in their region, fully aware that both countries are a no nonsense countries and will retaliate in equal measure, if not more. But for America, they have concluded that they would not respond in kind or in a way that would send them a strong message of never again should this be tolerated. This is the reason they frequently take to the streets to protest America and destroying American assets and burning American flags, because they have become emboldened by getting away with so many intransigence carried out against America in the past, including the invasion and hostage taking of diplomatic staff in Tehran. 

As part of the punishment against Iran and Iraq, there should be drawn a line in the sand that the next time such a thing happens, that their own embassies will either be attacked or shut down. The government in Iraq cannot survive a day without America's presence in the Middle East and therefore the Prime Minister must be read the riot act to either use the authorities of his office to protect embassies in his country or his days in office are numbered. Any protest crosses the line when properties are being damaged, destroyed and set on fire, especially properties which are on sovereign grounds of the United States of America like the embassy. Enough of the cuddling of these maniacs; the time for measure for measure has since come and in order to put a stop to the vagrancy and recurring lashing out against American interests in that part of the world. 

Better still, the next time it happens, live ammunition should be deployed against any person wantonly destroying properties in a zero tolerance enforcement of law on international relations to protect America's embassy sovereign grounds. Also, it would appear that the perimeter walls were not as strong as original intended, so necessary adjustment should be made thereto, including taking a blueprint from Israeli walls which has kept them safe from the Palestine. Those walls could not have been breached, regardless of the number of maniacs that were assembled against it. Then a few meters before the wall should be lines of concertina barbed razor wires providing additional protective hurdles to cross before even reaching the walls. Raising the windows higher should also be considered. 

ICHEOKU says the frequency of these attacks on American embassies has become such that people are beginning to wonder if indeed America can and is capable of protecting its diplomatic foreign missions. From Pakistan to Egypt to Libya to Cuba to Tanzania to Kenya to Yemen to Iran and now Iraq, they are just too many of these attacks on American embassies that it is about time something is done to end it, including drastically, if need be. The only language these petulant understand is ruthless force, otherwise why have they never attacked any Russian embassy any where? Imagine a militia saying that they rubbed America's nose in the dirt with the attack in Baghdad and you wonder if these guys have any better thing they do with their time and life. 

A very ungrateful bunch who could not remove Saddam Hussein from power until America stepped in and did it for them. They couldn't stop ISIS from nearly overrunning their country until America did it for them. Yet they always attack America as their problem. The worst part is their government's involvement in this attack. Iraqi security forces did not allow Iraqi protesters who have been protesting against the government since October last year to breach the Green Zone, so what changed with the militia that attacked the United States embassy inside the same Green Zone. The same Iraqi government vehemently condemned the United States Air strikes but has yet to condemn the attack on the American embassy with the same vehemence. 

ICHEOKU says enough of the niceties as only a strong response will resonate with this two countries, who are now joined at the hip as foes of the United States of America and should be treated as one.
