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.

PETE BUTTGIEG: IS AMERICA READY FOR A GAY PRESIDENT?

ICHEOKU says if Iowa says yes then America will have no choice but follow the lead or at least give him a fighting chance without walling him off because he chose a different lifestyle. Iowans did it with Barack Obama when against all odds, they signed on to a black candidate and it propelled Barack Obama all the way to win the presidency, and twice. 

So, is America once again headed to the same road previously traveled with another improbable candidate come into being. The South Bend Indiana Mayor has zoomed past every other Democratic Party presidential candidate in the latest poll from Iowa, nearly doubling his closest rival, Elizabeth Warren at 25% to 16%; and you wonder what message Iowans are trying to telegraph to the rest of the country that it is okay to have a First Man in the White House as opposed to the traditional First Lady which America is used to having. 

Short of his homosexual lifestyle and petite size, ICHEOKU has always maintained that Peter Paul Montgomery Buttgieg aka Pete Buttgieg is the best candidate for the Democratic Party. He is most qualified, most erudite, most articulate and most eloquent candidate amongst the wildebeests running for the 2020 presidential nomination of the Democratic Party. Youth is also on his side and he backs all the mentioned credentials with his military service. So, put in another words, Pete Buttgieg checks all the salient markers which makes a president fully grounded and having the right resume for the job, as he covered all the fields. 

ICHEOKU's only nagging concern for his candidacy is whether America is ready for a homosexual president with a homosexual First Man occupying their White House. However, the canary in the mine of American political direction is the Great State of Iowa and if they approve of Pete Buttgieg, so be it; admitted that New Hampshire and the predominantly black South Carolina also tells something about the direction where the wind is blowing. But Iowa is usually the it and once they decide, most times, the rest of Americans usually follow their lead. Therefore the rise of Pete Buttgieg polls in Iowa is significant and must be a cause for concern for all the other presidential candidate currently jostling for the nomination of the Democratic Party. 

That Pete Buttgieg is now the front runner in Iowa, passing Elizabeth Warren, who has of late become too anti men, anti white people, anti successful people and unabashedly nuts is understandable. Bernie Sanders ate the apple of death when he embraced the kiss of death that was the endorsement of the nut job from New York 6th Congressional District, crazed out wild eyed Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. Bernie Sanders poll numbers has sunk so low since that embrace and has never recovered, such that he is now trailing at number 4th position in Iowa at mere 15% approval, behind even Joe Biden at number three, whose play at the presidential nomination has since lost steam, his hot-air balloon which he is gliding to the White House with, having been punctured by the Ukrainian scandal. 

ICHEOKU says provided Pete Buttgieg maintains his current momentum and takes it all the way through New Hampshire and South Carolina and secures the nomination; then picks a good vice presidential running mate, he will definitely give President Donald John Trump a run for his money in 2020; admitted he will not defeat the peoples president and leader of Team MAGA, who is unstoppable right now and is almost assured of a second term. But such a strong showing will give him all the headwind he will need in 2024 when he will once again definitely make another play for the White House with much confidence and better experience running a presidential campaign. Youth is on his side and he would have learnt a lot of lessons on how to run a presidential election and will be more optimistic with President Donald John Trump no longer running and the presidency will then be anybody's, to have. 

ICHEOKU says likes Pete Buttgieg most among all the Democratic Party's candidates running for the presidential nomination. His eloquence, articulation and knowledgeable grapple of the issues are his most enviable credentials; added to his military service for the fatherland. Anyway, ICHEOKU wishes Pete Buttgieg luck in securing the Democratic Party's presidential nomination and hopefully the party's henchmen and women will allow the will of the nominating electorates to prevail this time; unlike the rigging that rigged out Bernie Sanders in 2016. That done, the future is very bright for the Mayor of the small middle America city of South Bend Indiana and American people will keep their eyes on this fella as he tries to write history for both himself and the American society at large. Go Pete Go!
