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

DO YOU?.

“What you believe in can only be defined by what you’re willing to risk for it." - Stuart Scheller.

HEDGE YOUR CRISIS.

Never get in bed with a woman whose problems are worse than yours. - Chicago PD.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

'The best way to keep peace is to be ready to destroy evil. If you Pearl Harbor me, I Nagasaki you.' - Ted Nugent.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

Empathy is at the heart of who we are as human beings. - Cardinal Matthew Kukah.

WORDS ON MARBLE.

"Birth is agony. Life is hard. Death is cruel." - Japanese pithy.

REPENT OR PERISH - POPE.

Homosexuality is a sin. It is not ordained by God, therefore same sex marriage cannot be blessed by the church - Pope Francis.

CANCEL CULTURE IS CORROSIVE.


FOR SAKE OF COUNTRY.


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.

TRUMP 2020: REPLACING CAMPAIGN MANAGER NOT THE ANSWER.

ICHEOKU says although it is a good rejig to infuse new energy and new vision for the campaign, but messaging is the problem. So, until fixed, the basement man still poses an existential danger to the president's second term quest. The president should try and concentrate more on highlighting the things which he has accomplished already in his first term and enumerating things which he hopes to accomplish in his second term, instead of continuously attacking a man who is already holed up in his basement. It is akin to still beating up a person who is already down on the ground and such only attracts sympathy for the victim. The president achieved much during his first term and this should remain his primary focus, retailing them to the American people as the reason to give him a second term because he has done a lot and will do more. 

The president should not dwell so much on telling American people how bad Joe Biden is or for them to rehire him because he is better than Joe Biden. Nu, his message should  be to rehire him because he has delivered on his previous campaign promises and will deliver more during his second term. The record of Joe Biden is already a public knowledge and constantly reminding people of that is not all that necessary; his campaign underlings should be doing that instead. Personal attacks sometimes work against the person doing the attack and this is drawing sympathy for Joe Biden. 

Also, the president should try and reconcile with some of those people who helped with his election in 2016, bring them back to the fold and let them go to work for him as  passionately as they did in 2016. But when American people see a former die hard supporter like Ann Coulter attacking the president, they somehow believe that something is indeed wrong somewhere that made her to turn against the president. Steve Bannon also needs to be brought back to the campaign and so should everybody who in one way or the other contributed heavily to the success that was recorded in 2016. As Jesus said, those who are not against us are with us; at least they will stop bleeding the campaign when they stop attacking it. 

Furthermore, the president needs to unleash some media hogs to go to work for him by going to every available television and radio programs to toot the president's many accomplishments. People like Mike Huckabee, Lewindosky, Chris Christie, Rudy Giuliani and other hard charging pundits need to be turned loose and let them go do what they do best. And of course, if the president's campaign can reach out to some television personalities, treat them to a dinner and lean on them to give him a fair shake with their reporting, that will not hurt as well. But be that as it may, ICHEOKU is still very hopeful that the president will win his reelection for a second term despite all the snafus as the idea of Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA dictating what happens in America is the stuff nightmares are made of. #Vote4Trump.
