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.

NEW RUSSIAN SANCTIONS: AMERICA AND RUSSIA DETENTE IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE.

ICHEOKU says it is a deliberately orchestrated scheme by the military/industrial complex to keep Americans and the rest of the world perpetually afraid of Russia and in turn continue to sustain the market for their weapons and wars enterprise. Yes, there has to be a boogey man who is coming to get you and you need to defend yourself from him. America and the rest of Western nations are the good fellas while Russia is the bad guy, as they are being painted by the West and you need Western weapons to effectively defend yourself from Russia's inevitable invasion. 

Or better still, if you want the West to defend you or come to your aid when Russia eventually invades you, you need to first stockpile on weapons manufactured by the West as a show of good faith and we will remember to return the favor when the Russians come for you. But Georgia lost their Abkhazia and South Ossetia in 2008 and Ukraine also lost their Crimea in 2014 but the West never rushed in with their marching army to defend them. 

The Russia/America never ending "face-off" or supposed constant hostility is a racket for weapons and wars profiteering. So it does not matter what Vladimir Putin does or does not do,  there can never be enduring peace between the West, particularly America and Russia. His Russia will always be held out as the enemy; and even if there is no real factual basis to justify its enmity, one will always be manufactured just to keep the narrative the same. It is also the reason for the periodic ratcheting up of sanctions against Kremlin by successive American presidents, democrats and republicans; which helps create the appearance that Russia are up to no good. A West and America desiring a lasting peace with Russia would have since allowed Russia to join NATO and formalize its membership of the European Union since it is a European country. 

But no, as to do so will drastically impair their military.industrial bottomline because with the "enemy" now gone, there will be no need for countries to buy weapons and the weapons and wars market will drastically dwindle or even dry off. If Joe Biden actually imposed the latest sanction against Russia as a deterrent against their military buildup at the border with Ukraine, why is a similar sanction not imposed on China which has been constantly buzzing Taiwanese airspace with their military fighter planes these past weeks. China has even sent their warships including aircraft carrier into Taiwanese waters in violation of international order, but the White House looked the other way. 

But it is the America's politics of Russia, the bogey man; and it has to constantly play on as it has always been playing for the past many decades, irrespective of which party is in the White House. American' Russian policy is dictated by the Deep State and the Deep State always gets what the Deep State wants. They have to keep the golden goose laying the eggs so that they can continue enjoying their mouth-watering omelette. It never ends and it will never end. It is a manufactured situation and there is an ongoing need to keep it that way. It is also possible that Joe Biden imposed the current sanctions in order to prove his tough guy bona fides, since he promised to be tough on Russia and he also called Vladimir Putin a killer.
