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

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.

CHRIS CHRISTIE'S SELECTIVE MEMORY: AN ATTEMPT AT SELF VALIDATION.

"When I ran for reelection in 2013, I got 60% of the vote. When he ran for reelection, he lost to Joe Biden." - Christ Christie.

ICHEOKU says fat Chris suddenly forgot that he finished in the bottom tier in the 18 persons crowded field 2016 Republican Party's presidential primaries, when the then candidate Donald John Trump handily beat all of the wanna bees, including fat Chris himself. But now, he is seeking relevance and trying to position himself as a formidable contender to the 2024 presidential election. The same fat Chris unsuccessfully lobbied for the Attorney General position and some other positions in the Trump administration, finally ending up as a mere ad-hoc adviser to the former president. 

He was governor of small State New Jersey alright, but has never successfully ran a nationwide election; yet he has the effrontery to compare his two terms as governor of New Jersey to a man who ran and won a nationwide presidential election on a first try. This is what he is brandishing now as evidence of his political viability as the Republican Party's presidential candidate in 2024. Needless to add that fat Chris is a professional politician unlike President Trump who was a newbie, a breath of fresh air, who came from the business world and yanked the keys to the White House on his first attempt and first foray into politics. So, what again was the basis of his comparison, his winning a small State's governorship twice, right?

Whatever beef fat Christ might have against the former president ,including his prosecution of the former president's son in-law's father, the senior Kushner; he is pushing it rather too far with his continuing antagonizing of the former president. He is making millions of people mad and alienating himself further from their voting clout. Chris Christie is not a match nor a competitor to the former president and if he likes, let him throw his hat in the ring in 2024 but American people know who they will choose. Chris Christie will NEVER in this life be elected president of the United States of America, but that does not mean that he cannot dream and even try; but he is simply not electable. 

He does not have what it takes to be elected president as American people have consistently elected president, people with very specific qualities and certain traits. Christ Christie is not tall enough, he is fat, he is not photogenic, he has no charisma, he is not personable, he is not warm, he comes off as too full of it, arrogant, standoffish and generally unkept. He does not have the conviviality and connectivity which glues people to persons. He has no charm offensive nor is there anything particularly significant or memorable about his governorship in New Jersey which American people can relate to, other than the Bridge-gate scandal. 

Overall, he is not an ideal candidate for the White House and he cannot even win the Republican Party's primaries nor does he stand any chance whatsoever of ever being elected president of the United States of America. Imagine Chris Christie calling President Donald John Trump a loud mouth, a case of the kettle calling the pot black; and it is possible too that his fat loud mouth is even louder than the howler monkey's known loudest shrill on earth. It is the diminished person syndrome that has infected Chris Christie as he saw his previously rising profile suddenly diminished by the Bridge-Gate scandal and then completely eviscerated by the new kid on the block of politics, President Donald John Trump.

Anyway, ICHEOKU would rather Chris Christie stopped speaking ill about the former President Trump because the army of 64 million strong MAGA-nation voters are attentively watching, and these are people he should be very careful not to make mad or attract their ire and angst. He must also be very careful not to tread on them. Chris Christie can go ahead and reel out the things which he would do differently were the good fortune of mother luck to ever miraculously smile down on him. But whatever he do, he must stop making disparaging remarks about the former president because they are not equals; nor is he ever a worthy contender of the party's nomination with the former president, his millions of MAGA-nation unwavering base considered. 

In 2024 MAGA-nation will vote to reelect their beloved President Donald John Trump if he runs again; and in the alternative will look towards the newly elected Virginia State Governor Glen Youngkin to fly the Republican Party's presidential ticket flag. Better still, MAGA-nation will be  delighted to see the two beloved political outsiders run on the same ticket as presidential and vice presidential candidates of the Republican Party. But Christ Christie is not an option and he stands no chance in hell of ever winning the Republican Party's primaries nomination, with or without the former president also running. Christ Christie does not have what it takes and should therefore be humble enough to curb his enthusiasm and throw his darts elsewhere. All he did was just to add his name in the lengthy list of those people trying to profit from their association with the former president, writing a book many will not read or would find mediocre, at best.
