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

“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.

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.

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 BAN: TWITTER DIMINISHES OFFICE OF AMERICAN PRESIDENCY.

ICHEOKU says by banning President Donald John Trump from its platform, Twitter has diminished the office of the United States of America president in the eyes of the world. Imagine how the office will now be ridiculed in Pyongyang, Moscow, Tehran and Beijing and other capitals in the world as a toothless bulldog. It is not about President Donald John Trump but the office of the president which future occupiers has been irredeemably damaged and reduced in stature in the eyes of the world. The ban of President Donald John Trump from Twitter has reduced the estimation of the office and rendered the office powerless before everyone watching America and for so long. 

Imagine how belittling it is really indeed that an American president would be banned on an American social media platform which is operating in America and by an American owner and without dire consequences. What foolish freedom gives Twitter the right to so reduce the office of the president in such a manner that is demeaning. How can any world leader be expected to respect an American president going forward when such a president does not have power over Americans and American companies, including Twitter; and cannot punish them for going out of line. Haven't Twitter gone too far an dhow much of this should be tolerated. There should be a law shielding an American president from such humiliation. 

It is the American people that were humiliated when their president is prohibited from communicating to them through an American company operating in America. If Twitter cannot respect the office of the president, what use is their operating license anyway and why should they be allowed to continue making use of the Internet access granted to them. Why should Twitter be allowed to continue to operate within American terrestrial and territorial space when they could insult an American president in this manner. Something needs to be done, at least if not for President Donald John Trump, but for future presidents in order to protect the office from such a ridiculous humiliation.  

What is not fair is not fair regardless of whose ox is gored. It is President Donald John Trump today but who knows which president the bell might toll for tomorrow and years to come. If Twitter is allowed to get away with what they did, who knows what any future president might be forced to suffer from any other fringed company executive who disagrees with the president's political and ideological philosophy. A matter made worse because the over 80 million followers of the president on Twitter has been rendered incommunicado with their president and nobody knows or gets information about the president's condition and his activities. 

It is a sad day in America and a sign of ominous times ahead when such a drastic challenge to the office of the president is tolerated. Twitter should lift the ban immediately and give back the president access to his Twitter handle. It is sad when Americans, especially the hard left, will stand by and watch with glee an elected president of America being humiliated in this manner by an American company doing business in America.  #RestoreThePresidentTwitterHandle.
