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.

MITCH MCCONNELL HAS SIGNED OFF FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

ICHEOKU says there is no other rational way to explain Mitch McConnell's current attitude on matters involving the survival of the Republican Party as one formidable conservative party than to say he does not seem to care any more. He has completely changed from the conservative values loving Republican who used to hold the ideals of the party aloft to a now a shifty politician who takes it to members of the Republican Party.  

He attacked President Donald John Trump, accused him of being responsible for the January 6th melee at the Capitol and there is no evidence of the president's involvement. He has now has set his bile-sight on the Congresswoman from Georgia Majorie Greene and accused her of being a cuckoo; and you wonder which side is he now really on when members of the Republican Party have become his new chosen targets. Were Majorie a democrat, Charles Schumer and Nancy Pelosi would have shrugged it off and at best quip that it is for her congressional district to decide who they send to Washington DC. Needless to add that he also defended Liz Cheney on her attack on MAGA nation by voting to impeach President Donald John Trump. 

It is sad and regrettable that such a man who has benefitted handsomely from the Republican Party is now its arch nemesis. What manner of man is he anyway when this is what he has turned into despite being the leader of the Republican Congress and at his very advanced old age when he should be preparing new party faithfuls to assume leadership of the party by eventually turning power over to them. If a party leader could be this antagonistic to members of his own party, what does he or anyone else expect from the other party or even junior members of the Republican Party. But no, instead of being the mother hen of his party members he is rather more interested in currying the favor of Washington DC Deep State establishment and at the expense of the Republican Party's general overall wellness. 

The leadership of the Democratic Party never condemns their members or their foot soldiers; including the latest Eric Swalwell's sex scandal involving a Chinese honey pot spy. The Democratic Party leaders never condemned the Black Lives Matter and/or ANTIFA during their rampage and hostage taking of America last summer. But Mitch McConnell readily vents his pent-up anger on members of the Republican Party as well as the party's base and foot soldiers as represented in MAGA nation. Unlike the Democratic Party leaders who always show up to encourage their foot soldiers each time they protest, Mitch McConnell never shows up to say a word of encouragement when MAGA makes a stand. He also did not help the president during the last election including not passing the supplementary coronavirus economic aid which the president wanted for American people, the refusal of which partly cost the Republican Party the two Georgia's Senate seats. 

Now, he will sit in Washington DC and watch helplessly as Charles Schumer will deliver the same economic stimulus aid package for Joe Biden which he denied President Donald John Trump and you wonder where this fella's loyalty really lies when he cannot help the Republican Party win elections. It is sad that he is doing this now, believing that he is on his last and final term in office and does not need the party for any future election anymore; sort of used, abused  and now FINALLY dumped the party. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar dismissed the 9/11 attack as some people did something yet her party did not condemn her. Eric Swalwell did what he did with the Chinese spy, yet his party did not condemn him. Dianne Feinstein had a spy Chinese driver for over twenty years, yet her party did not condemn her. But not Mitch McConnell and you ask yourself how will posterity eventually weigh his actions as leader of the Republican Party. It is sad.
