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.

MYANMAR MILITARY COUP: WHITE HOUSE'S STATEMENT IS SIMPLY LAUGHABLE.

ICHEOKU says isn't it ridiculous and ludicrous that America which is still bleeding from an inconclusive and contested election is now somewhat playing a defender of elections and an anti altering of election outcome to Myanmar. It said that the 'United States opposes the attempt to alter the outcome of the recent elections in Myanmar or the attempt to impede Myanmar's democratic transition and will take action against those responsible if these steps were not reversed.' Such a hot air would have amounted to something and may be forced a reversal of course were it before the travesty that was the last November 3rd American presidential election. 

How could any country after witnessing what happened on the night of November 3rd leading up to January 6th to January 20th and continuing till this day in America listen to such bombast from the White House. How can any country feel obligated to do right by their election when the outcome of America's election is still not settled in the minds of over 75 million MAGA nation which still strongly believe that President Donald John Trump won the election but was robbed of victory through the machinations of the Democratic Party aided by the Deep State. 

It should have been first things first for America; and until the American election is thoroughly and conclusively investigated, America's sanctimonious preaching of democracy to other nations will be summarily ignored and at best treated with levity. Everybody saw what transpired in the November 3rd election; it is still fresh and sour in millions of people's minds, and such is now an albatross facing America and its gospel of democracy. Where lies the moral authority of the White House to tell Myanmar military generals how to operate in their country when neither Myanmar nor any other country told America how to operate during the November 3rd election debacle. 

It is about time America removed the clog on its democratic eyes first before pointing a finger at the spec on any other country's democratic eyes, including Myanmar. Recall that Mali military also carried out a coup and those army juntas are still in charged of affairs in Bamako, so why single out Myanmar for a lecture on respecting elections outcome. Aung San Suu Kyi is not respecting the civil liberties of the Rohingya muslims in Myanmar, so what difference does it even make anyway whether it is she or the military that is in power since both are somewhat despotic and anti democracy. America should stop playing the role of policeman of the world and concentrate its energies on rebuilding a hollowed out nation with a dying middle belt and afflicted urban cities. Enough of the holier than thou adumbrations. Let Myanmar and its Asian neighbors sought themselves out.
