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

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.

LIZ CHENEY'S OUSTER WAS 5 MONTHS LONG OVERDUE: A GOOD RIDDANCE.

ICHEOKU says never entertained any doubt whatsoever that this day will eventually come, admitted it was 5 months delayed. Her decapitation from the leadership of the House Republican  Conference should have taken place on January 7th, a day after her betrayal, but better late than never. At last the House Republican Republican conference did the right thing by removing her from the leadership position as their Conference chairwoman. She cannot be a leader in the Republican Party and not representing the Party's overall majority best interest. 

But she put her personal feelings above the broader feelings of the Republican Party in her effort to snag prime time visibility by constantly attacking and opposing Republican Party leader President Donald John Trump. As always, there cannot be two captains on a boat and to allow her cancer to continue to grow is tantamount to destroying the hierarchical structure within the Republican Party. She cannot take up the leader of the Republican Party and still expect to  retain her position in the leadership of the party. What she did was an insubordination rising up to an insurrection and such anti party activity deserves to be crushed ruthlessly. Even expelling her from the Republican Party should be considered going forward. 

She thought that she has become such a big deal that she could go up against the Party's foremost leader and still survive. Now, with her removal, she has found out the hard way that her impetuosity was merely tolerated for as long as it lasted. The Party's leadership provided her with enough accommodation and opportunity to mend her ways, but her obstinate refusal to change course and/or halt her anti party activism, eventually led her to the political gallows. Hopefully she will be primaried out from her Wyoming at large Congressional seat in 2022 and with that, forcibly retire her from politics in defeat. She needs to be taught a harsh political lesson that a representative only represents their congressional district's interest and not their personal interest, the reason they are called representative. 

Also, a leader in a political party only pursues the agenda of the party and not their personal agenda. Liz Cheney fully understood this but was only grandstanding and hoping for some unrealistic and unrealizable outcome. Members of Congress are sent to Washington DC to represent the people who sent them, including pushing and championing their political preferences. Such members must therefore as a matter of expediency, check their personal excesses and endeavor to suppress whatever their personal idiosyncrasies are in pursuit of the interest of those constituents who sent them to Washington DC. A matter made worse by her fighting the leader of the party who is much loved by the party including her constituents in Wyoming. What she did was literary a political harakiri and today, with her removal, the Republican conference has given her a burial. 

ICHEOKU says there is no question or debate about who eventually won the tussle of leadership of the Republican Party as many political observers already knew that there is no way in hell Liz Cheney would have ever emerged victorious. Even the Biblical David and Goliath miracle would not have availed her in surmounting the political juggernaut and bulldozer, the undisputed supreme leader of MAGA nation, President Donald John Trump. ICHEOKU says finds it laughable her post removal remark where she said that she will do everything within her power to ensure that President Donald John Trump "never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office."  

ICHEOKU says in as much as it will be extremely difficult for President Donald John Trump to get back into the White House, but it will not be because of Liz Cheney, as she has no such power nor does she command any such influence nor followers within the Republican Party sphere. President Donald John Trump won the 2020 election but was prevented from being sworn in for a second term and the same forces will also not allow him to ever come back to the White House. The attendant retribution from an incensed President Donald John Trump back in the White House poses too much risk to toy with, that they will go far and beyond to ensure that his second coming will never come to fruition. 

ICHEOKU says it is a counter argument to make that President Trump won the 2020 election and will win the 2024 election because if he won why is he not in the White House. ICHEOKU abides by the superior argument that he won the 2020 election but was prevented by the Deep State from doing a second term and that the same Deep State will not simply go away in 2024 or stand idly by and watch him slide back into the White House. The outcome of both 2020 and 2024 will be the same as President Trump will not get back into the White House, admitted he can win back both Congressional Houses for the Republican Party.

Therefore, except Liz Cheney is channeling her father, Dick Cheney's Deep State roots, standing on her own tiny political legs alone ain't gonna cut it to stop President Trump in 2024. It was very boastful of her to accord herself such an exaggerated power over Trump's fate in 2024. She needs to be humble in defeat and not try to spin her humiliation as if it somewhat empowered her more. Anyway, it was a good end which finally came, admitted January 7th would have been the more ideal date to have removed her. But MAGA nation is completely satisfied that her continuing nuisance has been finally abated.  Her ouster sends a strong message to the Mitt Romneys and other anti party minions who are still lurking around in the Republican Party. 

These disgruntled fellas, the Republicans In Name Only (R.I.N.O) should be bold enough to leave the party, either crossover to the Democratic Party or become Independents. But as long as they chose to remain in the Republican Party, they must abide by the party's rules, stand in lockstep with pursuing party's agenda without exception, show unalloyed respect to the party's structural institutions and display absolute obedience to the party's hierarchical orders. These RINOs should understand that they are just members of the party and cannot be allowed nor ever tolerated remaking the party in their soft cheese much diluted understanding go conservatism. The party will not tolerate acute conservatism or liberal feminism conservatism but will remain a bastion of pure conservatism. 

So the choice is absolutely theirs, to either tag along as good party members or fallout by the wayside as disgruntled anti party hacks. Therefore, it was a good riddance getting Liz Cheney out of her leadership position as she no longer represents the values of the Republican Party and cannot continue to lead them. Her actions and utterances were anti party and at odds with the wishes of those Wyoming people who sent her to Washington DC as well as the general Republican Party majority nationwide who she hitherto held their mantle of leadership as Conference chairwoman. She was never a faithful partisan nor was she ever down with the MAGA struggle and therefore deserved the fate which befell her. So long Lizzy.
