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

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.

NATIONALISTIC FERVOR FOR MOTHER RUSSIA: DRIVING PUTIN TO THE DANGER ZONE.

ICHEOKU says the Russian strongman has probably reached a point of no return and now headed straight into his final eclipse. He cannot recover from the premeditated war which he launched against Ukraine and as the war goes, so goes Putin. His being readmitted back into the civilized committee of nations will be very difficult, if not impossible. Ukraine is steadily looking like the quagmire which finally swallowed him up, his Waterloo sort of; admitted many are still watching with giddy to see how his final last chapter will be eventually written, but it won't be flattering nor kind or forgiving. 

Unfortunately, it has always been condemnations of President Vladimir Putin as none of the pundits, talking heads, writers and molders of opinions of the war has ever pondered the why? What possibly triggered President Vladimir Putin and incensed him so much, to the extent that he threw every caution to the winds and went in head first into Ukraine. Why did Putin make the decision and exercise the choice to invade Ukraine despite the threats of punishing sanctions against Russia and a global plea for him not to do so, which he simply ignored as a dismissible nuisance and ordered his army into Ukraine?

The Russian strongman has repeatedly vented out his frustrations against the West, particularly the erosion of Christian-Judaeo values which hitherto provided the anchor of society and the orbit on which it rotates. He has also complained times without number, the inroad which homosexuality is making into the society and the attempt to cancel heterosexuality and traditional mother and father family units. He is also appalled that the United States of America has become too woke-centric and increasingly spending too much time pandering to societal diminishment rather than leading the world from the front. 

The attack on Ukraine is but an avenue to vent his long bottled up anger at the West, its woke culture, its antipathy to God and the Christian religion and the wide embrace of homosexuality and every other thing which he considers and sees as debasement of the civilized society. He had lashed out before about the way Western civilization is being torpedoed by things strange and unusual, and to some extent bordering on abnormality. 

He has watched as values which hitherto held societies together are steadily being drastically watered down and in some cases, outrightly washed away or canceled and being replaced with  such absurdities as extended pronouns, males being allowed to compete as females in female sports, men debasing womanhood by pretending to be women or "pregnant" or women with uterus and vagina pretending to be men. He also witnessed the bathroom law debate and increasingly questioned himself on why Russia should continue to submit to such a country which propagates such ideas. 

In short, President Vladimir Putin was triggered by the cancerous woke culture of the West and now Ukraine is at the receiving end of his fist of fury, thunder and brimstone. In his mind, the war he is waging against Ukraine is a war against the West and their skewed values. He sees it as a justifiable cause, as he is trying to stop the bleeding which woke culture is exacting on humanity in order to forestall an assured mass decay of every strata of the human society. 

Although his belief is largely misguided as the world has since evolved and moved on, it is still a belief which he strongly nurses and understanding the same might help provide an inroad into his mind and also an opportunity to smooch his ego towards ending the war. ICHEOKU concedes that Putin having such a mindset should not provide him a carte blanche freedom or right to operate as the sole soldier of conscience of the world or to do what he is doing in Ukraine. 

The world has since abandoned some of these societal foundational values in the name and "interest" of getting along with the vocal but more vicious minorities, and President Vladimir Putin should try and cope with it and hop on the train. He cannot remain the only sane person in the land of insanity and if the majority says that is how things are going to be, who is President Vladimir Putin to say otherwise. It might be unfortunate and/or disheartening to the much older generation, but that is the new reality and necessary adjustments must be made, the bitter pill. 

He is so mad at the West that he is now readying to purge Russia of people he considers as having pawned their heads rent free to the West. He called them some unflattering names including scums, bastards and traitors and expressed the wish and desire to get rid of them through a self-cleansing of Russian society. He was so pissed off that he added for good measure, that such Russians Western stooges should be spat out of Russia's mouth like an unwanted gnat which accidentally flew into one's mouth.

If only President Vladimir Putin is not an inveterate liar who usually says one thing while doing another, a Pharisee, may be his arguments in favor would have packed a punched weight. A man who as recently as last month assured the world that his amassed Russian troops at the border of Ukraine was only conducting military exercises and will not invade Ukraine; and who also divorced his wife of thirty something years but refuses that Ukraine will divorce his Russia, has such a garden-variety latent and inherent capacity to mislead that he has gathered multiple Pinocchios. 

He complained that the West wants to violate Russia's territorial space and weaken its cohesion; yet that is exactly what he has done and is doing in Ukraine. He complained that Ukraine has a Nazi government which he wants to deNazify, yet ignored the fact of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Jewishness and ancestry. He complained that the West wants to dismember Russia, but who has removed Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk from Ukraine or is that not dismembering Ukraine? If the West does not want a strong and sovereign Russia, why then does Putin not want the same for Ukraine? 

How the current Russia's military adventurism in Ukraine will conclude nobody can actually say. Everyone is hoping that it ends sooner than later and before Ukraine is completely destroyed and ruined; and that the foray will stop in Ukraine and not exacerbate into surrounding countries. One thing nobody will take away from President Vladimir Putin is his abiding love for his Mother Russia. He is possessed by it and he is willing to do anything for it, including even perishing in the process. Paraphrasing Kenny Loggins song Danger Zone, President Vladimir Putin is on a highway to the danger zone and dragging the world along with him as he rides into the danger zone. May God protect his people IJN.
