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

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.

MEGHAN MARKLE: THE SLAY QUEEN RIPS HARRY'S FAMILY APART.

ICHEOKU says a definition of demonic restiveness and you wonder what they stand to gain by going up against an institution which made them who they are and without which they are nobody. A monarchy which have lasted for more than a thousand years is suddenly now being threatened by this two little rascals and you wonder why the palace is cuddling them and hesitant to cut them off and forget about them, done. 

Whatever storm such action might generate or which the duo could create later, such as a   no holds bare interviews impugning the monarchy, should be given the Trump treatment, deny it or better still, don't waste time responding to it. As with everything in life, after a while it will blow away and nobody will even remember it ever happened; but most importantly, the monarchy must be saved. But if they are given undue attention, allowed to have their way and begged not to abandon ship, they will forever hold the monarchy hostage to their ever changing mood swings of threats to walk away. Therefore, instead if waiting for their next bout of tantrums, the matter should be resolved now and decisively too. If they want to walk away, let them walk away, no pity parties. 

May be they need to learn some hard life lessons in order to become better and more appreciative human beings, especially the fact that without the monarchy, they are not that important. So let them have a go at it, turn them loose. It is a question of who made who and who needs who. The other Meghan, Meghan Kelly, once thought that she made Fox News and not the other way round, but sadly later found out that that everything she was, she owe to Fox News and so shall this two irascible fellas. Take away their title and privileges and banish them from the royal court and they will melt away into obscurity. 

The Queen must not succumb to the blackmail by this two lucky go, restless souls; conceited radicals who want to have it both ways. They want the perks of royalty but do not want to do the work that comes with it, just to meet and greet people and wear a false smile doing it; or is that too much for the British taxpayers to ask of Harry and Meghan in return for all the money being wasted on them. Harry is who he is because of what he is, a prince; and the gold digging Meghan married him because he is a prince; she wanted a real life Cinderella and Prince Charming story. But now that she got it, her restless soul wants something entirely different. So take their royalty away and they become ordinary commoners and no longer attractive to the media hogs and undue publicity. 

It is not as if people have never abdicated from royalty before; but the manner in which Harry and his beau went about it was in fact disrespectful to the Queen and they challenged Her Majesty's authority as the final word on all and any matter British. That was what riled most people, their being overtly disrespectful to the custodian of the British monarchy. Whatever be their grievances, they could have quietly relocated to wherever the heck they want to live without advertising it and being too confrontational and affronted to Her Majesty in doing it. By publicly disrespecting the Queen and her successors in line, Prince Charles and Prince William, the two rebels brought the revered institution into disrepute and invited the world into the palace's private and personal business. 

Although Harry has been showing rebellious streaks ever since he attained majority, but the world is now blaming his gold digging commoner wife for sowing the seed of discord between Harry and his family, particularly his only brother, Prince William. Now people will credit President Donald John Trump for identifying her out as a Nasty Woman, as only nasty women separates brothers and destroys family relationships, instead of nurturing them. Incidentally and irrespective of how the impasse is eventually resolved, Meghan has now earned the moniker and will forever be known as a Bad News Meghan, the curse of the royal family, who was sent from hell to tear the royal family apart. Hopefully she took her last flight out of London and will never be allowed to either return to the palace or ever see the Queen again. 

How bad could things be that Meghan would visit London with her husband Harry and refused to see or meet the Queen; as well as her father in-law Harry's father Prince Charles and her brother in-law, Prince William. She also risked a British Prince Archie by leaving him alone in Canada. What mother does this; leave an infant and fly across from Canada to London and back just to deny the Queen and opportunity to see her great grand child. That was mean spirited. It is always bad when people expected certain crass behavior from someone and that person goes on to prove them right. Meghan met and surpassed the fear of palace insiders and royals who anticipated the current development and had advised Harry to please reconsider his decision to marry a trailer trashy woman without a proven pedigree. What would Lady Di say? 

Why the royal family is accommodating the vagrancy of this duo is still a surprise to many, who knew how the Queen normally decisively quells the slightest signs of disloyalty. Is it possible that Harry has some damaging information about the inside workings of the royal family or even a specific act of infamy about the royal family, which if it comes out, will torpedo the monarchy or at least damage them. What is Harry's joker; what is the King's ransom; what does Harry have on them with which he is holding them hostage to his demand. What makes Harry believe that he has all the aces and the upper hand in the situation. Does Harry have information about what actually took his late mother's life in a Parisian tunnel? Was she a victim of palace orchestrated hit job, the reason he has been reacting with such volatility, angry at the whole monarchy set up which appears to two faces. 

The world may never get to find out these things unless the Queen stands her grounds and tells Harry to go to hell and remain there until it freezes over; in which case Harry might seek his pound of flesh by dropping whatever hydrogen bomb he has on the monarchy. Anyway, the world awaits further developments in the impasse, although it would appear that the Queen has signed off on Harry's intention to walk away. But would she allow Harry and Meghan to keep their titles, allowances and other perks associated with their royalty. If she does, how will she explain it to the British tax payers who are funding their royal lifestyle, that Harry will continue being treated as a prince when he has abdicated. But hey, we shall see how everything eventually get sorted out, if ever; admitted what Harry did shook the palace to its existential foundations. What a naughty boy and his nasty beau.
