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.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: NOT GIVING AMERICAN PEOPLE THE ROOM TO MISS HIM.

ICHEOKU says if only he can appreciate the need to remove himself from the firing range and totally and completely isolate himself from the line of fire and not give the media a reason to see him at the business end of their rifle. That way they will be forced to concentrate only on the target at the White House without being distracted by their Trump's derangement syndrome, which usually kicks into overdrive each time President Donald John Trump comes into focus. Yes, for all intent and purpose, Joe Biden should be the only target on the crosshairs of the viewfinder, strapped alone at the firing range of political destruction right now in America. But President Donald John Trump cannot retrain himself and is constantly trusting himself into view and making it difficult for the media to concentrate their aim. 

If only he could discipline himself enough and take a leave of absence, away from the center of attention, he will give those his usual traducers time to really find another target of attack concentrate their attention. They will be forced to engage the man at the White House, whose stewardship so far needs some reviewing. But unfortunately, his love for camera, light and action has become almost an addiction and he cannot help himself but continuously insert himself into the fray. Now the woke media is trying as hard as possible to make him the bogey man of everything that has gone wrong so far in the Joe Biden's administration. He forced them to redirect attention at him and with it, Joe Biden is not being fully exposed to the heat of all that are going awry in the country. 

President Donald John Trump is oversupplying himself to the media and at a time when he should be very scarce, in order to force them examine Joe Biden's record more closely to see if they are meeting his election campaign promises. He is the one now in the White House and since the buck stops on his desk, the media and politics pundits will have no other choice in the matte but to explain to American people why things are going awry with an "adult" now in the White House. If President Trump can just move away, even temporarily, may be American people will then become fully aware of who is in fact responsible for all that are going adrift in their life and America in general, the present occupant of the White House, his name is Joe Biden. 

There is the Afghanistan withdrawal hiccups; the resilient coronavirus disease which is still scalding Americans; the weak economy with very slow recovery; the weak jobs numbers; the natural disasters of hurricane Ida and wildfires in California; and of course the exacerbating gun violence as well as opioids deaths. All these are problems needing solutions, which Joe Biden promised Americans he will wipe away once in the White House. But nine months later, he seems lost in finding solutions as promised. American people should be edge now, demanding answers and seeking to know from the Joe Biden why his administration has not delivered as promised. Because the media is not concentrating focus on these problems solely on him, it makes it appear as if things are still firmly under his control.

ICHEOKU says strongly believes that the problems would get the attention they deserve when Joe Biden is hounded by American people with the help of the media and demanding answers for why things are not smooth sailing since he came into office. A smarter President Donald John Trump should therefore not stand in the way of focusing attention on Joe Biden and should have since yielded the spotlight and disappeared. Joe Biden could then be pinned down to explain why so many things are not currently working out as he promised and American people had anticipated. But as long as President Donald John Trump keeps on placing himself in the center-front, that long will the media and pundits be tempted to make him the subject of discussion. 

Who gains from this but Joe Biden who is, coasting under the radar, without being held to account for the shortcomings and unfulfilled expectations of his administration, nine months after. The Afghanistan debacle would have been a great opportunity to compare notes between what President Donald John Trump would have done if similarly situated, with what Joe Biden did.  Many people are leaning on the side which said that Trump would have not allowed the Taliban to so easily rout Afghanistan. Some other people also blame Trump for entering the agreement with the Taliban which they claim bounded Joe Biden's hands, but they fail to also include that Joe Biden could have canceled the agreement as he did other things with Trump's signature on them. 

President Donald John Trump was saved from salvos of condemnations which would have come his way had Afghanistan ended as it did with him still in the White House. Imagine what they would have done to him had it been under his watch that Taliban breezed into Kabul without any hinderance or resistance. Even the woke generals would have "rebelled" against him for being such a "mumbling" and pathetic" commander in chief and foreign policy novitiate who did not know what was in the best interest of America. The media would have also chewed and spat him out like a bad curd; and paid hacks who are parading themselves as pundits and experts would have brought the roof down on him with their useless analysis explaining why Trump was not fit to remain in the White House. 

For added effect, they would have used all manners of words to describe him such as fumbling and inexperienced; maniacal and egotistic; dead brain; hare brained; a buffoon who knew nothing about foreign policy etc. They would have blamed him for everything and being the sole reason the outcome turned out as it did. Both political parties, democrats and republicans, would have joined hands in demanding that he resigned from office and would have summarily impeached and removed him from office  if he hesitated or resisted. Now, even some republicans are defending Joe Biden's foibles, needless to add that no democrat has so far ever ventured outside their party directive to raise a voice against all the shortfalls bedeviling the administration. 

May be if Trump wasn't in the way, the situation could have been different, but he is not yielding nor ceding the space to test the theory. American people still see him very much around and nearly everywhere, such that some people probably thinks that he is still in the White House and calling all the shots. The media is not helping matters either as they are using him as scapegoat to cover for Joe Biden's problems; and thus saving Joe Biden from the full weight of anger by an increasingly disappointed and despondent American people. But for Trump interjecting himself in the situation, all the current darts would have been shooting straight right at the White House with none ever being directed at Mar-largo. The media would have had no choice but to keep it one hundred on Joe Biden, but with Trump giving Joe Biden some lease on life with his availability, Joe Biden is largely left unscathed.

A more political adroit and astute Trump should have known that he is helping Joe Biden by serving himself up to the media at this time. He is their goose that keeps on giving as they have insatiable appetite for attacking and criticizing him. If ICHEOKU were advising Trump, would suggest that he take a break from the media scene and allow Joe Biden to answer for his stewardship so far, by forcing the media to finally solely focus on Joe Biden and dig into his records. President Trump is one lucky fella and probably the luckiest politician alive in America right now for not being in the White House at this present time. He should therefore do himself a favor by making a b-line out of the media circus and stay away; and watch Joe Biden take all the heat. But his addiction to light, camera and action would not permit it.
