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.

CNN IS NOT WORTH MY TIME ANYMORE - CHRIS CUOMO.

ICHEOKU says who wouldn't, except for those soulless cretins who parrot teleprinter's fed texts like mind numbed robots, incapable of original thoughts. They are glad they were hired and as long as the paychecks for their sold out souls keep on coming, they could care less nor give a crappy damn. They don't care whether what they are asked to recite to their audience daily is true or not and if any person's reputation is being damaged as a result. 

Further, they also do not care that opposing views could sometimes be right and they flatly reject whatever is not in tandem with their given talking points. They also do not care about their audience, whether they are getting the full story from what they are dishing out to them and whether some of them have since walked away from tuning in. They also do not care that their audience has dwindled into a size which ordinarily would not be sustainable for a network, but thanks to bundling many providers are forced to carry CNN and subscribers pay for it, even if they do not watch it. They don't care and this  is the reason why CNN SUCKS! 

But at last, somebody is tired of being eaten from the inside by the propaganda sleaze which passes for a News Network and has now had it with them. The thing has boiled over for Chris Cuomo, who is now venting his frustrations with CNN which it is understandable. ICHEOKU says he should follow his instincts and walk away now before it is too late as complete mental breakdown and suicide naturally follows such a dissatisfaction with a job or work environment. Recall that Comedian David Chappelle once walked away from a $50 million Comedy Central gig, just to keep his sanity; so Chris Cuomo should likewise consider following suit with his gut feeling, except if he does not mind someday completely losing it, going bonkers. 

His outburst is a cry for help from a tortured soul, who has been under enormous pressure but can no longer bottle his emotions and frustrations anymore. There is a reason CNN sucks, it is boring to watch because presenters, anchors and anchorets are not allowed to opine as they see fit and proper. Instead they are giving talking points and studiously monitored for conformance, at the pain of being fired. Such destroys creativity and also makes nonsense of their journalism training as their knowledge becomes atrophied and stagnated. It leads to mental torture and anguish which has now boiled over in Chris Cuomo who bravely vocalized it. And there are so many Chris Cuomos in the media who are living in bondage of fear of being fired should they disclose what they are forced to put up with just for job security. 

ICHEOKU says so many anchors/anchorets throughout the world have quit their jobs on air, in the middle of presenting their program, because they got fed up with parroting the same propagandas forced on them by management and producers. So it is understandable that Chris Cuomo is feeling the way he presently feels, in regard to his gig at CNN. Finally, coming to his Jesus moment, the brawling CNN anchor said, "I don't want to spend my time doing things that I don't think are valuable enough to me personally. Well, I don't like what I do professionally, I've decided. I don't think it's worth my time." 

That said, but his rather weird preference for a street thug's lifestyle, screaming at his critics and telling them off, to go to hell, to the millions of dollars which CNN pays him  yearly raised some eyebrows of disbelief. How can any person desire such a trade, choosing a lifestyle of perpetual confrontation on the street to a comfortable private life as a millionaire. This is what ICHEOKU does not understand and wonders whether Chris Cuomo will not be better off checking himself into a rehabilitation center to decompress from whatever anxiety he is currently under. Life is tough already as it is, but it is tougher when one thinks that he has it all, only to not be happy and overly this anxious. It is a mix bag sloppy trajectory which often leads to complete mental breakdown and in some extreme circumstances to suicide. 

ICHEOKU hopes that whatever Chris Cuomo is going through will be resolved by Chris Cuomo, with necessary assistances and interventions where needed. But it does not look good when such a bottled up anguish starts effervescing to the top and put out there in the open to become so publicly noticeable. Many people dismissed his angry outburst at the  person who pissed him off in a New York subway, thinking that it was a one time occurrence, as everybody periodically loses their cool; but this latest tirade against the company that writes his checks is definitely deserving of a second more in-depth look. Anyway, ICHEOKU wishes Chris Cuomo well and all the best in getting a handle over whatever demons that are currently haunting and tormenting him.  All the best CC.
