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.

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.

CHUCK SCHUMER: REALLY?

ICHEOKU says why didn't the Senator from New York extend the same excuse of brash talking which Brooklyn is known for to people from Queens where President Donald John Trump comes from; or are both boroughs no longer in the same New York City where people say what they are really thinking. But no, he would pillory the president for a mere tweet expressing disgust at the disparity of treatments being meted out to different divides of the society by the justice system and wants his threat of two Supreme Court Justices to be excused as a mere bombast.

Charles Schumer accused the president of intimidating the Judge in Roger Stone's case as well as trying to influence the Department of Justice by his tweet and demanded that Attorney General William Barr resign for changing a recommended sentencing guideline, just because the president expressed outrage at the recommended lengthy sentence in the guideline. But Charles Schumer publicly and directly threatened two Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh with bodily harm, if they don't rule in a particular way. Then, you wonder between the president and Schumer, whose action actually amounts to intimidation. But he wants to excuse his threat as a mere Brooklyn style passionate way of speaking but would not cut the president a similar slack. ICHEOKU says really? 

Charles Schumer is a lawyer and a politician who has been in Washington DC for such a long time and has been publicly making speeches for as much long, yet used threatening words against two Justices of the Supreme Court, but wants American people to believe that he accidentally used those words. If he indeed meant not to use those words, where is his apology to the two Justices? Where is his retraction of those words? Where is his sincere mea culpa showing that he is indeed truly sorry for the misspeak. ICHEOKU says it will require the suspension of disbelief to accept that those words were mere gaffes and not purposely coined to please his rabble rousers abortionists who kill babies with glee, were delighted that he chose those words and they applauded him thunderously for being their number one champion. 

It was not an ordinary offhand remark made causally to journalists shouting questions at him. It was a prepared speech which he went in front of the Supreme Court building to deliver, to ensure that those two Justices heard him loud and clear; and being intimidated by it, they will be forced to rule differently and as Charles Schumer would like. It is also arguable that he pointed his finger at the two Justices, since both Justices were inside the Supreme Court building when he pointed at it while making his threat. So the intended victims of his threat are not in doubt as they were clearly identified by Charles Schumer as Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh.

A case of a kettle calling the pot black as he excoriated the president for a far lesser tweet that contained no threat whatsoever, but doubled down for his own much more horrendous outburst. A matter made more insulting to anyone's intelligence by his denying that it was a threat, that it was how Brooklyn people speak and that he was referring to the Republicans and not the Justices. A willful amnesia one would add since he called out the two Justices by their names. What consequences did Charles Schumer want the two Justices to suffer and what price could they possibly pay, of course not political, since they are lifetime appointees and do not run for elections. So, when Charles Schumer said that they won't know what hit them, what exactly did he mean or insinuated? Was he insinuating that Justice Anthony Scalia did not die of natural causes and threatening an encore? 

It is also possible that Chick Schumer decided that since he is the Democratic Party Congressional leader, Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not out do him with her tearing of the State of the Union address and took it another level by publicly threatening harm to two Supreme Court Justices. Luckily enough, his threat was captured on video and his words rang out clearly and without any ambiguity or other possible interpretations.He threatened that the two Justices will pay a price and that they will not know what will hit them. ICHEOKU says if this is not a threat or does not rise to a threat, what else then is the definition of a threat. 

ICHEOKU says Charles Schumer should without any further ado or delay, tender an  unequivocal apology to the two Supreme Court Justices as well as to the American people, whose Supreme Court Justices he threatened; failing which, the Senate should censure him for bringing disrepute to the chamber. He spoke like a thug and not a member of the United States of America's Senate. If such a highly placed Democratic Party member of the Senate could be so irascible as to publicly threaten two Supreme Court Justices, what then is expected from the lunatic base of the party, particularly their abortionists wing. Charles Schumer is just another example of a bad leader leading by bad example; like Nancy, like Chuck. Threatening an equal branch of the government, one among the three of which Charles Schumer belong to one, the Congress, should not be tolerated, period.
