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.

CORONAVIRUS: PIERS MORGAN'S ATTACK OF PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ILL ADVISED.

ICHEOKU says if indeed Piers Morgan was a friend of President Donald John Trump as he often times frequently touted, he should command the president's ears. He should have the president's direct telephone line number through which to reach the president whenever he wants. He should also have the president's private mobile cellular telephone number as friends normally do. So that whenever there is any issue, both personal and official, bordering Piers Morgan or concerning the presidency of Donald John Trump, he can easily discuss it privately with the president. 

But for Piers Morgan, despite his acclaimed relationship with the president which would have ordinarily provided a back channel line of communication with the president, to continuously publicly bash the president over his coronavirus pandemic effort, leaves much to be desired of a friend. As Julius Caesar would say and as would be paraphrased by the president, Et tu Piers Morgan? Why join the army of vigilantes out and about to get the president? Why go public with criticizing and chastising the president when he could have privately communicated his discomfiture to the president. Why did Piers Morgan not call the president but instead went on Twitter to attack the president over what he considered the president's lack of skill and competence in handling the coronavirus crisis. 

That Piers Morgan went to the extent of using words like "stupid" to describe what the president was doing is a pointer that Piers Morgan does not mean well with his criticism, but wants to become just another pain in the butt for a president, who is already doing so many battles on so many fronts. Why add to the president's troubles and as a friend, don't he think that the president already has plenty on his plates. Why make the president's task even harder or shouldn't a friend be seeking a way to lighten the load which his friend is carrying? Piers Morgan acted with malice and his conduct was meant to damage and disparage the president, not to correct or point the laser at the right direction. His intent and execution are both faulty and he so desired it, period. 

Had Piers Morgan not declared that he is a friend to the president, ICHEOKU would not have bordered with how he chooses to criticize the president. But friends do not pile up on their friends, especially not how Piers Morgan is currently going about it on Twitter. A matter made worse because so many people are already knocking the president and the president could use less detractors at present. But here is a Piers Morgan, a self confessed friend of the president, now joining forces and in the bandwagon of the president's traducers and you wonder why. The worst enemy anyone can have is the enemy within, the proverbial green snake in green grass; like Judas Iscariot was to Jesus Christ. How does the president protect himself from such a frenemy. 

Piers Morgan is now another addition to the band of jackals who are baying at the president, including Michael Cohen and Anthony Scaramucci; people who the president took into his bosom but who ended up being what nobody would wish on their worst enemies. ICHEOKU says is not saying that the president is above reproach or that his "friends" should not criticize him, but that there are more acceptable ways of communicating their dissatisfaction short of through public Twitter attacks. If ICHEOKU had a back channel to the president as Piers Morgan made the world to believe he had, being his personal friend, would always call the president with whatever concern or opinion ICHEOKU might have regarding the way he is running his administration. That's how true friends act, they are unofficial backroom advisers; but they never publicly take side with the enemy against their supposed friend. 

Piers Morgan is complaining that the president unfollowed him on Twitter and you ask Piers Morgan what did he expect to be the president's reaction, watching his "friend" go rogue on him in such a public manner. It is also not on record that Piers Morgan previously tried reaching the president but failed or that the president did not listen to his wise counsel; he just went public, believing that it is what the woke generation expected of him. Such a betrayal should not be accommodated, not by the president and not by anyone for that matter. Piers Morgan was malicious in publicly airing his discontent with the president and it is inexcusable. Friends do not upend their friends that way, otherwise with a friend like Piers Morgan, President Donald John Trump does not need an enemy, not anymore. 

A time like this requires the support, counseling and reaching out by the president's friends to help the president succeed. The president was fighting too many battles before now that the coronavirus have made it more complicated and all he needs now is not the extra distraction of Piers Morgan. Therefore, it is fiendish for Piers Morgan to choose now as the time to strike at the president and to continuously pile up on the president as he is currently doing now on Twitter and other media houses is enmity not friendship. But who knows his motivation, except that Piers Morgan was once fired by CNN for tilting to the right and now appears to be seeking a second chance at revalidation. Piers Morgan probably figured out that the fastest way of accomplishing this is through an onslaught at the president. Now he is a hater who does not mean well for the president. But the good news is that those ones who came before him did not succeed and so shall he too fail; as the harder they come at the president, the harder they fail underneath his crushing feet. What a joke of a Brit.
