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.

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.

PIERS MORGAN QUESTIONS SIMONE BILES MENTAL ILLNESS: SHAME ON HIM.

Piers Morgan said that there is nothing heroic about quitting but forgot that the same goes both ways; and that as he was pointing a finger at Simone Biles, the rest of his other fingers were pointing back at him. The fat British slob has no grounds whatsoever to stand in making such a statement, having himself quit before when he stormed off a live British television programming simply because someone deflated his ego and checked his megalomanic streak. 

It is therefore hypocritical of him to attack the Olympic gymnast for succumbing to the demons of mental illness, upbraiding her for "chickening" out from the Tokyo Olympics.. Piers Morgan should be the last person to complain about anybody quitting from something and many other people have severally quit from something, including their jobs or professions, because they cannot handle the pressure anymore. Simone Biles was not the first and she will not be the last; but it is always good to know when to call it quits in the interest of someone's health, mental or phial or both. 

But Piers Morgan's attack appears to be prejudicially motivated, possibly because he has something against women particularly when they are colored. First, it was Meghan Markle and now Simone Biles and you wonder whether their skin color triggered him and had everything to do with his unwarranted criticism of a mental health sufferer. What a shame of Britain to have such a loudmouth who does not know when to hush. Perhaps he cherishes the attention which he gets each time he vents so idiotically, the reason he pounces on every opportunity that presents themselves for him to be the news. It is very pathetic of him that he finds such controversies so satisfying that he deliberately stews in them nearly frequently. 

But to attack a mental health sufferer in this way despite her well known record of not easily shying away from challenges or "quitting", which made her the global superstar she is, who holds so many records in gymnastics, shows that Piers Morgan deliberately courts controversies and not that he genuinely believed that Simone Biles "quit" because she was not having a fun-filled day. A person who could attack his former friend, President Donald John Trump, just to get on top of news coverage is a person who would do just anything to stay in the news and he did it with his attack on mental health and questioning, if indeed Simone Biles had mental issues. It is sad. 

ICHEOKU condemns the Brit for making such unguarded statement and without a care in the world how that might even add to the mental anguish which Simone Biles is currently undergoing. Why make a bad matter worse or is it not enough for him already that a world class Olympic gymnast who trained for a competition gave it all up as a result of something which she cannot control. But instead of showing sympathy and understanding, it is to taunt her by doubting her and further exacerbating the whole matter. Piers Morgan has shown by this that he is simply heartless and possibly have no heart at all and if any, may be one made of stone or even cold tungsten. What a fella the Brit really is; a very despicable fellow.
