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.

'The best way to keep peace is to be ready to destroy evil. If you Pearl Harbor me, I Nagasaki you.' - Ted Nugent.

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.

HONDURAS SWEARS IN THEIR FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT: LESSON LEARNED FOR HILLARY CLINTON?

ICHEOKU says another woman has just done what Hillary Clinton could not do, win a country's presidential election. It once again proves Hillary Clinton wrong that winning the presidency of a country has nothing to do with genitalia nor is it gender biased. It is all about likability and having a resonating campaign message of hope, that everything will be alright with the person manning the tiller of state. 

But when even her dour look telegraphs a message of despair, doom and gloom; and that she was running for president just for the heck of setting a female record, and going about it as if she is entitled to be "crowned" president as a matter of right, she turns so many voters off, thus making it  an insurmountable task, cracking the proverbial marble ceiling of the White House. 

Hillary Clinton's rejection by the American people as unelectable in a nationwide election is something which will haunt her till death. She will go to her grave, sad, unhappy and unfulfilled, regardless of the many other blessings which life bequeathed her, just because her single most important ambition to become the first female president of the United States of America was denied her. American people severally rejected her, both in party primaries and in the general election, the last being 2016 which she is still sulking about. A very humiliating defeat because she lost to a political newbie real estate billionaire from New York named Donald John Trump She is still having nightmares and sometimes experiences being president in her dream, only to wake up to the reality of what is, a presidential reject of America.

Anyway, Hillary Clinton is not the reason for this piece, although she is an integral part of it as this article disproves her warped narrative that she lost several bids for the White House because American men are misogynists who do not want to see a female president in their White House. But Vice President Kamala Harris is in the White House and some American men voted for her; and the last time ICHEOKU checked, she was still a female and married to one Jewish guy. Hillary Clinton was only rejected because she is not the right type of female, period. 

President Xiomara Carlos has pulled the feat in Honduras and was sworn in as the country's first female president. She has now joined the retinue of other world female leaders and increasing the numbers of females who are leading their countries. She also entered the history book of first female presidents and females who are leading and/or have led their countries; including Golda Meir of Israel, Margaret Thatcher of Britain, Germany's Angela Merkel,  Sirleaf Johnson of Liberia, Isabel Perón and Cristina Kirchner of Argentina, Dilma Rousseff of Brazil, Michelle Bachelet of Chile, Samia Suluhu of Tanzania, Salomie Zurabishvili of Georgia,  Paula Mae Weekes of Trinidad and Tobago, Laura Chinchilla of Costa Rica and Ekaterini Sakellaropoulou of Greece, just to name a few. 

This shows that America too can elect a female president of the United States; but it will take the right and correct woman to get it done; but definitely not one who is not comfortable in her own female body and who attacks men as if God made a horrible mistake by creating Adam. She must be a real-deal female who American men can relate to as either a mother, girlfriend, wife, sister or aunt. Any American woman who wants to succeed where Hillary Clinton failed, break the marble ceiling of the White House, must imbibe the lessons of Hillary Clinton's rejection and approach the quest differently. 

Such a female candidate must understand that there is nothing wrong with being a woman and that American men do not hate women and that they like women enough to elect them president. All such a candidate needs to do is to appeal to men as a mother, sister, wife and aunt would do, and wallah, America will elect their first female president. But any crazed out, wild-eyed feminist on steroid, who thinks that she can get into the White House by disparaging men and acting as if she does not squat or sit down to pee, will meet the same cruel fate which denied Hillary Clinton her lifetime ambition. 

ICHEOKU says congratulations to President Xiomara Carlos for a hard fought election, victory and being  sworn in as the first president of Honduras. Hopefully, she will deliver on her election promises and by then, would have rightfully earned the trust which Honduras people placed in her with their votes; by improving their fortunes through improved jobs creation and the overall wellness of the economy and security of the Central America country. Hillary Clinton must have called her to congratulate her and also pick her brains on how she pulled it off, as hush talks have it that she is thinking about 2024. Felicidades Madam Presidente Xiomara Carlos.
