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

“What you believe in can only be defined by what you’re willing to risk for it." - Stuart Scheller.

HEDGE YOUR CRISIS.

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.

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.

JANUARY 6TH INVESTIGATION: A GREAT WITCH HUNT AND DEMOCRATS POWER SHOW.

ICHEOKU says suddenly it is now ok in America for a political party in power to go after it's opponents. This is contrary to what they told us a few short years back, when the demand to "LOCK HER UP" was fever-pitch, that political opponents are not victimized in America. ICHEOKU says what changed as the count is beginning to mount. Steve Bannon is a political opponent; former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is a political opponent; minority leader of the House of Representative Kevin McCarthy is a political opponent; former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany is a political opponent and of course those rancorous Capitol building stormers of January 6th 2021 are all political opponents. 

Without a doubt, the coveted trophy of this ongoing political harpooning, the person they are plowing through all these soft targets to reach, is none other than the former president of the United States of America Donald John Trump. All these other persons are but preliminary  stumps which they must get out of the way prelude to eventually netting their prized target. They have assessed the political atmosphere in the country leading up to the midterm election and eventually to 2024, and understands that they do not stand a chance at retaining the White House, if not also losing the two Houses of Congress as well, with the former president in contention. So, they made a calculated decision to handicap him now and render him politically less viable rather than risk the consequences of his second coming to the White House. 

Although the former president is not a witch nor a wizard, but for the purposes of achieving their objective, they have branded him one and are using the subterfuge of a January 6th investigation to hunt him down, with fervor and every fiber of their congressional power and authority fully deployed. They are pulling every stop to accomplish this objective, of taking former president Donald John Trump down and out of the 2024 presidential calculation, just like they did to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo with trumped up sexual crimes which they later refused to prosecute. They will stop at nothing as the alternative is a nightmare which they would rather contemplate than live through. They know what his second time in the White House will do to their woke destructive agenda and would rather it never came to that by preempting it.

So, yes, former President Donald John Trump is the reason for the investigation and not that some exuberant and rambunctious Americans, in their overheated moment of excitement, badged into the Capitol. Unless they are telegraphing the message that some animals are more equal than others and that members of Congress are better than other Americans, it really defiles every logic of fairness that those Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA collaborators walked away free from their own badging into American cities and homes, with its destructive consequences while those nut job Save America rally attendees who went on a frolic into the Capitol building are being punished for their own rascality. 

ICHEOKU is not by this piece holding brief for those January 6th "storm-troopers" nor in any way justifying what they did as imitable or holding up their uncontrolled misbehavior as worthy; but that fairness demanded that they were handled with the understanding that they were just some overzealous Americans who thought that they were doing the right thing for their version of democracy by taking back their peoples house that "democracy" will go on and not be hijacked by people who "stole" an election. Their intent was misguided as it was based on wrong suppositions including their conviction that their cause was right and that they are justified in doing something about it. 

But be that as it may, the course of the justice system has since been activated against them; many have been convicted, some have been sentenced to various prison terms and many more are still under the microscope of Lady Justice and many more might be convicted and sentenced. But how do we move forward as a united country when millions of people strongly believe that they are being victimized simply because of their political affiliation, particularly after watching rioters and vandals with opposite political affiliation go scot-free from their own disturbances of the American society. 

It is this failure or inability to reconcile the two "similar" situations that is keeping the wedge in America in place and will most likely remain affixed until a convincing revolution is reached. If not, a day shall come when the Republicans will take back the White House and possibly the two Houses of Congress and there will be a demand by party loyalists for a payback. It is finding ourselves in such an outcome as a society that needs to be prevented now when it is still possible in order to preempt a vicious circle of retribution and normalizing in America the practice of a political party in power leveraging the levers of justice to punish its opponents. 

It is a river which America as a society must not cross because it leads to a one way highway to hell. It will be sad the day Americans will start punishing each other because of their political beliefs and associations. Therefore, the ongoing wasteful January 6th investigations including the Congressional committee hearings should be rested and every "convicted" offender pardoned with a reprimand. It will go a long way in fostering unity among America's divided society; let bygones remain where they belong, in the rearview mirrors so that America can begin to honestly heal from the past overheated politics of prelude to the last election. 

ICHEOKU strongly believes that had those January 6th Capitol building stormers known that what they were doing was against the law, many of them would not have dared. Many of them sincerely and honestly believed that they had the right to "reclaim" their democracy which they were persuaded was being "stolen" from them. It was an honest mistake and it was political and America's party in power usually does not victimize their opponents and we must not start now by setting a precedent which is capable of hounding us all. If Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton was not LOCKED UP, why the current attempt to lock up former president Donald John Trump and at worst, destroy him politically. Enough of the witch hunt as MAGA nation will not allow their own "witch" to be hunted down.
