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.

UKRAINE WAR: SYMBOLISM OF THE VOICE OF JACOB AND THE HANDS OF ESAU.

ICHEOKU says it is so obvious that even Ray Charles and Steve Wonder could easily see it. America is now waging a long planned and overdue war against Russia, fronting Ukraine as the face of the war while surreptitiously doing all the heavy lifting. In armament, logistics and supplies, tactical maneuvers, precision targeting and intelligence gathering; as well as actual  unofficial boots on the ground, instructing and directing the Ukraine defensive war effort against Russia, one can smell American involvement and participation everywhere. 

But America would rather the world and Russia believe that it is only helping Ukraine defend itself from Russian aggression with some defensive capabilities. If American weapons are flowing into Ukraine, it is also possible that some other form of American human weapons are also making the trip into Ukraine's theater of conflict. There is presently no Russian Customs to interdict either shipped American weapons and soldiers entering Ukraine or any other method of ensuring that the manifest corresponds exactly with the shipment and that nothing else accompanies the shipped weapons. 

It is a laudable objective and those courageously sacrificing to save democracy and freedom in Ukraine should be commended. ICHEOKU wishes America and the West could do more to protect lives and properties in Ukraine, but the much they are currently doing is good enough as the alternative would have been an easy walkover of Ukraine by Russian invaders. Hopefully America will stay the course and use this God given indirect opportunity to finally humble Russia and bring President Vladimir Putin to books. A direct involvement would have completely destroyed Ukraine and caused more deaths, so the proxy war is still a good way to go. 

Russia deserves everything that is currently being thrown at it, sanctions and military; as it defied the plea of the entire world and invaded a country which did not do it any harm just because Vladimir Putin felt that he could get away with it. Thankfully President Joe Biden said no to Putin's creepy arrogance and is cleverly managing America's involvement and participation in the war without America being officially engaged in it, while meticulously bleeding and decimating Russia, economically and militarily. 

Russia cannot sustain a protracted war in Ukraine against America's led West's invisible hands choking him and his country off. Russia will someday flee Ukraine in the same manner the former Soviet Socialist Union Republic army fled Afghanistan, forced out by Stinger missiles in the hands of Mujahadeens and direct covert CIA operations. The humiliating history will repeat itself in Ukraine, a bargain which President Putin foolishly made when he invaded Ukraine, aware that such would create an opportunity for America and Europe to carry out a long awaited war of attrition against Russia. We shall live to see what eventually happens but surely, it will not be a Russian victory in Ukraine.
