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.

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.

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.

MORE INFLATION IS GREAT, YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH - PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN.

ICHEOKU says why was the outburst not extensively condemned by the liberal woke media as beneath the office of the president; and that it is not good for American children to hear their president using profanity on national television. Instead, they are providing him cover, with one media outfit even reporting it as "President Joe Biden "appeared" to say.....", despite video evidence of what the president said. Why should what the president said still be foggy in the mind of some media if not that they are giving him a "protected person" special coverage. This is unlike the scorched earth harshness with which they visited every affair of former President Donald John Trump. 

It is not as if the president is not human and susceptible to periodic anger bursts just like any of us; but the media should have roundly held him accountable and severally called him out for using such words on national television. When former Vice President Dick Cheney told Senator Patrick Leahy to go fuck himself, at least it was within the confines of the Capitol. It would have remained there if not for some gotcha members of Congress who wanted to hurt Dick Cheney and make him out as vulgar and uncouth, and relayed what he said to the public. And yes, there are such other hot-mic moments by past presidents including President Barack Obama and of course President Donald John Trump, but the level of condemnation the media gave them was  politics tinged.

Just a simple question which he was not even under any obligation to answer or respond to, and which he could have easily ignored. But not President Joe Biden, as his signature anger got the better part of him and he went off. What is wrong in a reporter seeking to know from the president what he thinks about the impact the rising inflation will have on the forthcoming midterm election? Although the answer is quite obvious and Peter Doocy rightly articulated that it will be a liability for the president and his party, the president should have still maintained his cool and not show his hand, revealing his hurt-feeling about the negative impact of an untamed inflation. 

There are times when silence trump sarcasm no matter how framed or delivered. The revelation by the president has now placed the inflation problem on the center burner, as more Americans are now more conscious of it; and worried sick about their future, as well as their overall living standards. These Americans are wondering why the president would be so irritated by the question as to make him call the journalist who asked it, a son of bitch. A more measured answer would have been, that the government will do everything within its power to bring the inflation under control and make sure that American people do not suffer or struggle too much because of the rising prices.

Anyway, what is done is done and cannot be undone. We heard what the president said, he called a journalist a son of bitch for asking a simple question which is bothering millions of American families, admitted it was framed in the context of partisan midterm election. The president must therefore not ever deny saying what he said. It must not be another one of his memory lapse episodes, or another one of this Martin Luther King Jr speech in Atlanta's moment, when he later denied calling people who have issues with his approach to voting rights legislation, Bull Conner-like and Jim Crow-istic.

Whether inflation is a political liability or a great asset going into the midterms is actually yet to be determined as so many other things could happen before November that would subsume whatever inflation there is in America. President Vladimir Putin may decide that he has nothing more to lose and launch nuclear bombs attack on Europe and America? What if it is Kim Jong Un who decides to take the spotlight off Putin by attacking Japan or South Korea. President Xi Jinping might also decide to pull the plug first by overrunning Taiwan. So, who will still be talking about inflation under any of these circumstances.

The midterm is a long way out, so President Joe Biden should calm down and not fret too much about the impact of the inflation on it, while seriously exploring and exploiting ways to rein it in, before American people completely loses their patience with him. The president should not apologize either for using such words to describe Peter Doocy or that American children heard it; he should just strive to guard against such outbursts in the future. But as uncle Joey, he can do whatever the heck he likes and as always, it will be excused as "old Joe doing what old Joe does" and not be seriously chastised by his ringside woke liberal media. Did anyone even ask Peter Doocy's mom whether she took offense by what the president said or felt defamed by the president?
