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.

IT'S TIME: THE Republican Party NEEDS TO GO.

ICHEOKU says never in the history of political party politics has a party brought so much harm on itself than the Republican Party as it presently stands. The only way forward for the party is to be dismantled and a new party birthed that will be more dynamic, more compassionate, more feisty and which will fight harder as if their political life depends on recorded victories. But the present crop of good ole boys holding sway in the Republican Party needs to go; they need to make way for more viable and able young turks to take control. People who still have and possess the seal to put up the good fight necessary to protect the interest of their grassroots. 

These old Republicans have to voluntarily retire or be forced out and be made to move on for a new breed of Republicans to reinvent and reposition the party. The old guard no longer have what it takes and if they could not defend their turfs in Georgia and Arizona; could not defend their presidency and their majority in the Senate, what use are they anyway going forward. They do not speak with one voice, they are deathly afraid of the Democratic Party and they do not know any longer how to fight bareknuckle, the reason the Democratic Party usually make a mince meat of them on every issue and controversy. They easily cave to pressure and they always play to be loved and accepted by the other side and mainstream media at the expense of their base. 

What use are they anyway still calling themselves a political party when they cannot act and fight like one; and which represents the other half of the American polity. If the current imbroglio was about a Democratic president, Democrats would have forcefully stood by him or her and fought bloody and would have also spin what took place into an explainable passionate reaction of the people; afterall some people did something which some people will do anyway. But no, they ran to the hills at the slightest push and abandoned everything dear to the party including their president and their voting bloc. Where is the fight in them anyway and if they cannot defend their voters and president, what then is the use of their continued existence. 

These people who have outlived their political usefulness and should go or be forced to go. Enough of the fear and enough of the capitulation. Let those who can fight take over and assure Americans that there are still two formidable political parties in America. How can they allow the Democrats to divide and conquer them by causing such an irrecoverable rift between them and their base. How dare they accept the narrative that those who breached the Capitol were asked by the president to do so? How can they accept the narrative that it was the MAGA family and not some of them that wrecked havoc in the Capitol? Where were they when Ilhan Omar in response to 9/11 said "because some people did something?" Where were they when Nancy Pelosi in response to BLM and ANTIFA mayhem said "some people gonna do what some people gonna do?" 

Why would these Republicans attribute what happened to the MAGA world and accept that the president was responsible for it. Was Iran which shouts "death to America" responsible for 9/11? When 9/11 happened through the action of Saudi Arabia nationals, was Saudi Arabia held responsible for it? Too what if the president said to march to the Capitol but he did not say to breach the Capitol or destroy it or things therein. ICHEOKU says is not justifying nor in any way trying to explain away or condone the havoc that was the Capitol storming, but strongly disagrees that the Republican Party should pile up on the president for what happened. Yes, his words may have caused some people to over react and over exhibit their passion, but to hold him responsible for the actions of adults is simply over reaching. 

A matter made worse because these Republican leaders did not give the president a benefit of the doubt before joining forces with his detractors to nail him on the cross. But regardless of what happens, the beneficiary is the Democratic Party which have successfully buried the Republican Party, admitted those Republican leaders might be mistaken that it was only the president that was ran over. Far be it as MAGA is comprised of diverse Americans from diverse political and philosophical backgrounds and they strongly stand firm with the president. They do so because they are convinced on the rightness of his cause and they also strongly believe that Joe Biden did not win the election and could not have won it, at least not honestly. 

The president wanted to pursue the declared result of the election but was not allowed to so do. He hired election lawyers but they were intimidated and blackmailed into withdrawing from the case. He approached the various courts in the land including the Supreme Court to hear him out but they rejected his plea. What then did any rational and reasonable person expect people to do if not to act out their passionate conviction. Now some of these people are being punished when other people who did similar things last summer were not punished. Where is the justice and where is the fairness; yet some people are preaching a hollow unity and you wonder how can people truly unite when they are treated differently due to their political believe and ideological differences. If we are one American then equal treatment should be administered to everybody. No justice, no peace. But ICHEOKU blames it on Republicans who have mortgaged their souls to Washington DC Deep State and could care less about their base supporters. It is sad.
