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

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.

BIBI NETANYAHU NOT HAPPY: FORCED CEASEFIRES ALWAYS UNRAVEL.

ICHEOKU says like with forced marriage, anything forced on parties, including a ceasefire, never lasts. The new ceasefire agreement reached between Palestine Hamas and Israel will not be an exception as their fiery hostilities will possibly restart sooner than anyone would imagine. The issue between them is enduring and so is the fight for supremacy over each other. So, until there is a decisive, unequivocal, absolute imposition of authority by one party over the other, which permanently banishes the vanquished and exert maximum undiluted control over them, all the effort being made now to establish a ceasefire will also be in vain. 

The crux of the matter is that each of the parties want an absolute ownership and undivided total control over the same piece of land and Jerusalem. It is akin to the two women who went before King Solomon over the ownership of a child, with one woman asking that the child be divided into two and the other woman rejecting that the child should be killed. King Solomon was wise and he made a wise decision which forever inked him in history,  solving the problem and also saving the child. A case of killing two birds with one stone, one would add. During the many centuries past when the Philistines had their way, they forced Israelis into servile existence and literary banished them from the MiddleEast. They took over everything including Jerusalem and their absolutism lasted for thousands of years with Israelis becoming wanderers in exile all over the world until 1948 when they were reestablished in the MiddleEast. 

If Palestine have their way today, they will completely obliterate Israel and once again reassert total and complete control over Israelis and the entire territory as well as Jerusalem. If they had the superior firepower today, they will not agree to any ceasefire nor will they agree to accommodate Israel in any form or shape in the MiddleEast. They will remain resolute in their bombardment until their final objective, the complete annihilation of Israel, is accomplished.  But Israel is somewhat more civilized and easily amenable to emotional pressure to end hostilities as soon as it has begun. Israel is heavily dependent on the United States of America and always finds it difficult to refuse any request from the White House which easily yields to international pressure to call off Israel each time they want to solve the Hamas problem. Left for Israel, the latest hostilities would have gone on until something decisive happened; but they are heavily constrained by their deference to America and once again had to acquiesce to yet another ceasefire. 

Israel has been forced by Joe Biden to agree to another ceasefire with an internationally recognized terrorist organization instead of wiping them out. Why is Hamas still being accommodated when there is a standing international policy in force to deny terrorists any real estate and in fact to destroy them wherever they are found. Why is Hamas being given this leeway and at the detriment of Israel, who they continuously provoke and attack. If ISIS is not allowed to keep and maintain a territory, why should Hamas? If al Qaeida was bombed out of controlling any territory, why is Hamas not under similar blitzkrieg? If American troops and other coalition of the willing meagre troops spent over 20 years in Afghanistan hunting down Taliban terrorists, why is the airspace over Gaza not buzzing with fighter jets trying to dislodge and decimate Hamas. Why the mix message and differential treatment when it comes to Hamas?

ICHEOKU says the rest of rational world is confused about all these different American policies about terrorists as it is beyond any logical explanation or understanding. Why is there is no international effort to put Hamas out of existence after declaring and recognizing them internationally as a terrorist organization. Is it because Israel is their immediate victims and not America or other Western countries? ICHEOKU says may be it is about time Israel called America's bluff over the continuing tolerance of Hamas and see if America can actually throw them to the wolves, which is very doubtful. The strong-arming of Israel by the White House each time they want to decisively crackdown on Hamas terrorists living in their neck of the wood sends a conflicting message. It should either be every terrorists should be wiped out or no terrorists deserves a different treatment. 

Will America accept such an unfriendly foe as Hamas, which seeks its destruction, living in their  neighborhood? If Israel will not be allowed to destroy Hamas that means that Hamas is not a terrorist organization. So, let the international community remove the terrorist tag which they placed on Hamas, legitimize them and let them become known as ordinary "freedom fighters". But it is a conflict of syllogism for Hamas to be a terrorist organization yet not amenable to be completely destroyed. It does not make sense to continue to tolerate Hamas and watch them flourish and cause havoc every so often and when Israel responds, they are called to stop and sign a ceasefire agreement. 

ICHEOKU is emphatic that the latest ceasefire, just like the several others before it, will only serve as a hiatus to enable both parties to regroup, rearm, restock and re-strategize for the next episode or round of hostilities. There will be more Hamas provocations and of course more Israeli responses and then a confused world going back on hyper loop hysteria, hyperventilating on the need for an immediate ceasefire and the cycle continues. This is a time, a seething Bibi Netanyahu wished that some Jewish people were not complicit in effecting the change in the White House last November 3, 2020. Imagine if President Donald John Trump was still in office what would have happened to Hamas, although Hamas would not have dared. It is sad that another ceasefire has been hurriedly imposed on Israel and sadder that some Jewish people voted against President Donald John Trump in the last election despite all he did for the Jewish State of Israel.
