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!

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.

JUST THE FACT.

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.

ELECTION 2020: JOE BIDEN REFUSES TO CLOSE THE DEAL WITH BLACK PEOPLE.

ICHEOKU says several times has the presumptive presidential candidate nominee of the Democratic Party, former Vice President Joe Biden, been given the opportunity to seal the deal with black people on their votes this November 3rd, but severally has he refused to ink the deal. Joe Biden has on numerous occasions been asked to commit to choosing a black female vice presidential candidate, but he has flatly refused to do so, because he does not want a black woman as his vice presidential running mate. 

Instead, he promised to appoint a black woman to the United States Supreme Court and also as a cabinet Secretary in his government. If Joe Biden is willing to publicly commit to the later two but is not willing to so commit as to the vice presidential slot, it shows that he does not want to and will not choose a black female as his vice presidential candidate. Possibly because a black woman is not good enough for Joe Biden to have as his Vice President should he win; thus begging the question does Joe Biden really like black people and does he still deserves the black votes, reciprocity considered. 

If Joe Biden does not like black people enough to choose one of their female as his vice presidential candidate, what does that really tell black people about Joe Biden and his supposed love for black people. Joe Biden authored the 1994 Crime Bill and that is a testament of his abiding love for black people, all the pretenses notwithstanding. Why is Joe Biden coy in directly answering this question, whether he will pick a black female as his vice presidential candidate. He emphatically responded that he will appoint a black female to the Supreme Court and a cabinet position, but vehemently refused to commit on the position of the vice presidential candidacy. 

This is a Supreme Court position which twice became available during the Obama/Biden government, but on both occasions, Joe Biden and Barack Obama overlooked black women and instead appointed two other women, one white and the other Hispanic; but the same Joe Biden now wants us to believe that if black people vote for him that he will reward them with a female black Justice of the Supreme Court. If Joe Biden could not persuade and encourage Barack Obama to appoint a black female as associate Justice of the Supreme Court Justice then, what is the guarantee that he will do so if elected with black votes. But he knows that he cannot win the presidency without black votes and he is doing and saying whatever comes to his mouth, short of the vice presidential position, to secure black votes. 

It is about time black people told Joe Biden enough, give him an ultimatum to choose a black woman as his vice presidential candidate or forget about black votes on November 3rd. It should no longer be a case of use and dump black people, but an express quid pro quo of one good turn deserves another. Black people secured the presidential nomination for Joe Biden with South Carolina, so why he finding it difficult to return this love by running his ticket with a black female. Enough of the using of black people only to get to where they want politically and then abandoning them at the doorstep. 

A case of continuously treating black people as only good for cooking the dinner but not good enough to be on the dinner table should not be tolerated this election 2020. A situation of black people continuously baking the electoral cake for the Democratic Party and being kept out of the cake dinner must end. Why must black people be only good for their votes and not good to participate in presidential governance. Enough of the Democratic Party's ingratitude. 

If Joe Biden refuses to pick a black female fro run with him, then there is no point of black people voting for Joe Biden this November. Black people should then either totally boycott the presidential election of November 3rd or vote for President Donald John Trump in protest. Joe Biden has been in Washington DC for over 40 years without anything to show that he improved the lives of black people in America. Joe Biden also authored the 1994 Crime Bill that incarcerated millions of black people and destroyed a lot of black families in America. Joe Biden's other racist undertones are equally well documented. 

Therefore, if a black woman is not good enough to run with Joe Biden on a ticket, then black people have no inheritance in any resulting Joe Biden's presidency; hence there is no use of supporting him to get there. It is imperative and there should be no choice about it, it is either Joe Biden seals the deal with black people by picking a black woman as his running mate or all the bets are off with the support of black people, period. This  demand should be unequivocal and this demand should also be non negotiable and this demand cannot be compromised. #BidenMustPickABlackWoman or no deal with black votes.
