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.

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.

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.

PRESIDENT BIDEN HOSTS GERMANY CHANCELLOR OLAF: SANCTIONS ALONE WILL NOT CUT IT.

ICHEOKU says the fear of white people, once again, killing themselves in very large numbers as they did during the two world wars is weighing heavily on the minds of NATO leaders and President Vladimir Putin. This is why the forever threatening war between NATO and Russia has not been fought yet and is steadily looking very unlikely that it will ever be fought. The will is not just there, particularly in Europe, where people are now used to just loving and living life on the easy lane and will not want anything to disturb their groove. 

The new mantra in Europe is why fight wars when you can just relax, make love and smoke some weed and sometimes carry placards on the streets. Many of the good men are all gone, remaining only a very few, who are not in a position to influence policies or make decisions. Those European hippies easily forgot that, but for the brave and courageous few good men of the past, the entire European continent would have lost their culture and language; and replaced them with Aryan culture and German, which would have been the only language tolerated in Europe. Adolf Hitler started off just about the same way which President Vladimir Putin is now trending, with one small country.

That the visiting German Chancellor refused to categorically commit to the fate of Nord-stream II should Russia invade Ukraine shows the deep anti war sentiment in Europe. They don't want war and they don't want to and will not fight Russia; they don't want any hostilities in the neck of their woods to dampen their joyride. Imagine what these European leaders could possibly be telling President Vladimir Putin privately, in phone calls and visits. Is it not even better to just break up NATO or cancel it entirely; and let the "countries of the willing" organize themselves into another security protection umbrella. Enough of the wishy washy Germans giving Putin a mixed signal that NATO is not united under one common resolve.

The German Chancellor was repeatedly asked and given many opportunities to assert a firm position of his German government on the gas pipeline project, but he severally refused to, hiding under the nicety of diplomatic ambiguity. What would President Vladimir Putin, watching the meeting between President Biden and Chancellor Olaf from the comfort seating of his Kremlin residence or office, think? Probably that NATO will not do anything other than the current barking and shouting; and you ask yourself, will such be enough to deter and dissuade Putin from ordering his soldiers to cross the border and thrust into Ukraine, full metal jacket.

Sanctions alone, no matter how tough, will not be enough to deter Putin nor force him to change his mind. He is one heck of a tough cookie and he only understands the language of force. He is a bully of some sort and bullies only understand and respond to bullying. Bullies need to be bullied themselves, too. If NATO should commit right this very minute to send troops into Ukraine and fight alongside Ukraine to help Ukraine protect its territorial integrity, President Vladimir Putin will immediately pull his troops back from the Ukraine border. He is a "strongman" and he does not want to lose that appellation through a possible defeat by NATO and would rather cut his losses and beat it, with his pride and ego still intact.

The war with Russia should be fought as so many weapons have been manufactured and more are still being manufactured and they need to be used. There will not be any other war greater than a war between NATO and Russia, the real mother of all wars. Such a war will be the biggest payday for the military industrial complex and it will also help improve so many countries' economies. Even if President Vladimir Putin caves in now and withdraws his troops from Ukraine's border, he should still be forced to pay a penalty for disturbing the peace of the world and ratcheting the threat of war. He should be made to set a definite transition timetable, within which he must relinquish power in the Kremlin. 

How can the West be preaching democracy around the world and going to war to spread it, yet still doing business with a despot who has been in power for 23 long years. Why were Saddam Hussein and Moumar Gaddafi killed or is President Vladimir Putin not also killing and imprisoning his Russian people in a similar fashion as those former leaders of Iraq and Libya? The sham which passes for elections in Russia is not free and opposition figures are frequently hounded and hunted down, just like it obtained in Iraq and Libya during the regimes of Saddam and Gaddafi. So, why is President Vladimir Putin getting a different special treatment or does his different skin color hold the secret source code?

Anyway, Chancellor Sholz Olaf equated himself well as a bilingual speaker; he also has the composure and finesse of a leader and shares uncanny resemblance with Delaware Senator Chris Coons, the guy who took Biden's senate seat, although his hair is fuller and the hairline is still within an acceptable recession. If only he had the courage to make the much anticipated pronouncement about what will happen to the Nord Stream II pipeline project should Russia invade Ukraine, he would have transformed himself into an Americans loving world statesman. But he missed that golden opportunity to shine at his moment in the sun. It is sad. The wait now continues for Putin to make his next move, which probably would be with tanks rolling into Ukraine. Who even knows what Putin is thinking? Only Putin can vouchsafe that.
