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.

LAW AND ORDER MAKES SOCIETY LIVABLE: SAY NO TO DEFUND POLICE.

ICHEOKU says majority of those snowflakes shouting disband the police, defund the police, will be the first victims of a lawless state which they are inadvertently calling for. Without law enforcement there is no society and it becomes a jungle where only the strongest and the fittest survive. Laws of the jungle is definitely different and it has no accommodation for the weak, the sick and the infirm. Those shouting for the abolishing of the police are about the weakest in the society and they need police protection more than those who are calling for the police to stay. 

Unbeknownst to them, the police is the reason they have survived till today and thrived thus far. Remove the police today and people like Mark Zuckerberg will lose his ownership of Facebook, ditto the gaunt fella of Twitter, Jeff Bezos and so many others who a lawful society midwifed their existence and thriving. Imagine a society where the Minneapolis Mayor is left to fight for survival with Mike Tyson and you tell ICHEOKU the natural outcome. But these silly people are ungrateful for the security provided them by the existence of police and are taken everything for granted, the reason they have been running their mouth saying to defund and ban the police. If you ban the police today, they will not live to their full life expectancy as somebody will take them out without fear of law enforcement. 

Many of them do not even know any better to understand and fully appreciate the ramification of what they are advocating. Many of them also do not have international passports and have never taken a trip outside the United States of America to understand how good they have it, having a police that do not constantly shake them down for bribes and at every corner. Even those who traveled, never made it to some countries where there is no 911 to dial when in trouble and where lawlessness is the norm and survival is the only order of the day. If only these agitators know better, they will be forever thankful and grateful for the law and order which exist in America, which is maintained by the police. 

ICHEOKU says despite its shortcomings, which obviously could use some reforms, the police is not expendable in any society that wants to live and thrive in peace. The ensuing chaos is always such that even the worst kind of police is preferred to its complete absence. Somalia, Afghanistan, Waziristan, some parts of Mexico and of course the looting ad burning arising from the protest showcases what absence of police begets. America also once had its Wild Wild West and then, only the ruthlessly strong survived and no sane person should wish this on America, especially not the little minded fellows calling for the police to be disbanded through defunding. 

What is needed is a sensible reformation and increased funding to help the police do a thankless risky job they are faced with. They are confronting society's dregs, people who are anti rules and order and these people for the most part has nothing to lose. The police put their lives on the line each day or night they step out to do their job, protecting the society. They are human beings too and many have families, wives, husbands, brothers, sisters, parents and children they like to return back to at the end of their shift. They are also under enormous pressure doing their job and the stress sometimes overcomes them. Many of them have been killed on the job, shot, stabbed and spitted on. Some have died as a result of accidents they were involved in while responding to someone in distress. 

Therefore all these anti police outcries need to stop as it is not daily that the George Floyd's incident occurs. Every group has their own bad eggs and even Jesus Christ had Judas Iscariot in the midst of his twelve disciples. That a few police are bad does not  mean that the entire police is bad and America cannot allow this group guilting of the police to take roots. It is not fair to those police who are doing their best to protect and serve society within established laws and tolerable practices. Instead of the excessive antagonism of the police, let Americans try to understand and appreciate the work which they do. When any of them errs, then punish the errant officer individually and not impose a collective punishment on all the police. 

Also, necessary reforms should be made to fix any observed shortcomings and to make the job easier for the police and to protect the policed. But removing the last bulwark between civilization and the jungle should be a complete no deal. Nature abhors a vacuum and if the police goes, the underground world will take over. ICHEOKU strongly believes that none of these snowflakes will prefer a life under the mob and their henchmen to the police, no matter how bad some of them may feel against the police. Reform the police where necessarily needed but reject the call for institutionalizing lawlessness. #SayNoToDefundPolice.
