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.

JUST THE FACT.

#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.

CHRIS CUOMO SUSPENDED BY CNN: THE CURSE OF THE CUOMO BROTHERS.

ICHEOKU says this might be the long overdue opportunity for the weight lifting brother of the disgraced former New York Governor Andrew "randy" Cuomo to finally follow his head and part ways with the network. It is a well known fact that Chris Cuomo is not particularly happy working for CNN and would have possibly since left if not for the fat contract which he has with them. He has lashed out in the past at his paycheck signers over some internal practices in the network, including writing very subjective opinion scripts and compelling anchors and anchorets to lip through them as news like mind numbed robots without much input.

So, a furious Chris Cuomo, suspended over a matter as seemingly trivial as helping his brother marshal out defense for some sexual molestations accusations against him, might just decide to call it quits. Doing so will help him preempt the network from having the last laugh by firing him as they will most likely eventually do. But will he find the courage to finally pull the trigger and escape from the purgatory that working for CNN has been for him; or will the mouthwatering contract he is enslaved to, continue to humble him and secure his servile silence and pretense love for the network. 

It is on record that Chris Cuomo have done many things in the past which ordinarily would have  warranted his dismissal from the network, but had survived due to his show's fairly high rating compared to other shows on the failing network. For CNN to now muster the courage to  suspend him indefinitely over his involvement in the elder Cuomo's troubles, despite being the golden goose of the network, shows that the younger Cuomo is in serious neck deep trouble; and might not be returning back to the network barring a miracle. His indefinite suspension now is an overkill, a case of punishing him when it is not deserving. 

What is wrong with advising one's brother in trouble and in a personal capacity; or does his anchoring for CNN preclude him from having a personal, private life? Chris Cuomo is a lawyer by training and his working for CNN does not make him no longer a lawyer or incapable of giving legal advise, paid or pro bono; especially to his family member, his elder brother. It is his big brother that was accused of sexual molestations of many women and like a good brother, he volunteered his help by offering some advise on how to defend the accusations. What is wrong with that and is it worth suspending him indefinitely from the network? 

The only plausible explanation to the sanction is that the network has long had it with him and now merely using the thrown up opportunity to finally get rid of him. For them, there is no more a potential future President Andrew Cuomo to be afraid of; and with the protector of Chris Cuomo  forever gone with the wind of sexual scandal, Chris underbelly became exposed to their long knives, thus triggering such a rash, harsh action. He offered the advise to his brother as a family, and a private, personal counsel; and not in his capacity as a CNN anchor and it should therefore  not be sufficient nor enough reason to warrant his ouster from the network. 

Any lawyer-brother or sister for that matter, would similarly come to the aid of a brother or sister in any legal trouble. Offering his advise did not mean that he condones what his brother allegedly did nor approved of it. He merely suggested best ways possible to defend the sexual allegations and to help save his political career, admitted his effort was not successful. Therefore, as far as ICHEOKU is concerned, Chris Cuomo threat to "fuck up" the guy at a train station in New York was more egregious and far more reputation-damaging to CNN for having a "brutish thug" on its payroll than his giving private legal advise to his brother. 

Ordinarily, his being a straight guy and a high-rating anchor in a network that is nearly saturated with homosexuals, makes him an already marked for elimination outsider; and they just ceased the latest opportunity to do the dirty deed. For a network that is struggling and barely clinging to life, and literally comatose in viewership and rating, letting go of their highest rating anchor rather  looks like committing a harakiri, unless the network no longer cares anymore about its survivability. Why the harsh punishment for such so little "misjudgment" on his part if it is not settling old scores.

But whatever happens, getting rid of Chris Cuomo is definitely a gain for reason and rationality as one hopelessly biased voice of wokeism have now been silenced. Whether the shutout becomes permanently or not, at least there will be peace for the righteous wing of the political divide for the duration of his absence on television. ICHEOKU can live with that; admitted the punishment is more severe than the supposed offensive act. 

As the saga of the curse of the Cuomo Brothers continues to wreck havoc on the Cuomo family, there will be no more mega sized Q-tips display on the Cuomo Brothers Comedy Central on CNN.  It is possible too that very soon, even the Cuomo name might become such a pariah that people bearing it as their last name might be forced to do a change of name just to avoid the close association to a name that is now becoming infamous in America. What a tragic end of the road for the two Cuomo brothers, a once powerful family siblings. Life often pulls cruel jokes on people and the Cuomo brothers are its current victims. It is sad.
