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.

SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI DUMPS DEFUND THE POLICE AGENDA: FEAR OF MIDTERM IS REAL.

ICHEOKU says Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi is now officially the gold standard bearer in politicians doublespeak. She is a poster politician in political shiftiness, swinging her positions on issues as the temperature of electoral fortune dictates. She is an illustration of the mistrust in politicians, the reason many people regard politicians with great contempt and disdain because they only think about their electability and nothing more. 

Suddenly, Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi woke up from her two years slumber and no longer finds "Defund The Police" a good policy objective for her Democratic Party. She now flatly denies that "Defund The Police" was ever a Democratic Party's agenda and that they have always been a party that "protects and defends" the community as that was the basis of their oath of office. Madam Speaker also conveniently forgot that many Democratic Party's elected officials in the House of Representatives are on record proclaiming the Defund The Police agenda and even campaigned on it. Vice President Kamala Harris donated money to a group championing the Democratic Party's Defund The Police agenda. 

ICHEOKU says where was Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the summer of 2020 when Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA held the country hostage, occupied streets, destroying, looting, burning properties and pulling down historical statues in America? Where was Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi then denouncing these anarchists and/or renouncing and disclaiming their "Defund The Police" war cry? These anarchists are Democratic Party members and supporters. but never a time during their mayhem did Madam Speaker call them to order or condemn and denounce them and their Defund The Police battle cry. 

All that Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi reluctantly quipped was that "people will do what they do"; but never forcefully condemned them nor demanded that those Democratic Party's foot soldiers stopped their destructive activities. Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi also did not call for strict law enforcement against these rioters to help free America from their vice grip. Yet Madam Speaker is now claiming that her Democratic Party is a party that "protects and defends" our communities. Really? Was Seattle not part of "our communities" and why did Madam Speaker not speak up and demand that they be protected and defended? 

The story of their destruction was replicated across the land, but Madam Speaker maintained her political correctness silence, afraid that speaking up would offend her political power base, which make up the Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA anarchists. With their ballots, American voters condemned her and her Democratic Party for the riots and their Defund The Police agenda in the 2020 midterm. To Madam Speaker, it was a message sent and received; and now that another midterm is fast approaching, Madam Speaker wants to inform gullible American voters that her Democratic Party is not an anti-law enforcement Defund The Police party.

ICHEOKU says the better approach would have been for Madam Speaker to truthfully acknowledge that the message sent was received and that her Democratic Party has learnt a lesson and will do better going forward with their anti-law enforcement credentials. But for Madam Speaker  to presume that American voters are memory deficient is adding insult to injury because American voters know exactly that the Democratic Party is for Defund The Police. Madam Speaker is being clever by half and once again trying to pull a wool over the eyes of American voters, by denying the obvious. 

Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA wants police defunded or scrapped out, they are Democrats and the Democratic Party approves. The Squad also strongly supports Defund The Police as well as Vice President Kamala Harris. Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi by her silence and failure to condemn the anti law enforcement and Defund the Police sentiments in her Democratic Party is technically also in support. So, when November 2022 comes, we shall know if she was able to successfully  deceive some gullible American voters by her latest about-turn, barefaced denial that Defund The Police is not a Democratic Party's agenda and that the party never used it as a  campaign slogan.
