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.

CHRIS FREDO CUOMO: HAS SERIOUS ANGER ISSUES.

ICHEOKU says it is now obvious that all his pretentiousness on fake news CNN were just a charade, a mask of Zorro; feigning dignity, civility and gentlemanliness where none exists. It all came off like a woman's mascara in the rain and at last, he was exposed for who he is, an angry person who cannot take what he regularly dishes out to others and nearly on a daily basis. 

This is a guy who has been calling the president RACIST and a TRAITOR for "colluding" with the Russians, but who could not stand the same test when applied to him; and in his case, it was just his name being mistaken for Fredo and he erupted. A case of serving others a medicine which himself would not take. A pitiful hypocrite. 

Anyone who watched the video where he threatened violence on an innocent fella, of pushing him down the stairs to his ultimate death by broken neck, can then imagine  what he would have done to all those fake news media hacks who have been accusing the president of being a Russian agent, were he to possess the powers of the office. Just a mistaken name and he went off like a rocket, blowing his top gasket in the process. He not only threatened to kill the guy by a neck break through a fall, but he also was very unruly, unguarded and cursed like a drunken sailor, using profanities, not minding that his 9 year old daughter was present. 

ICHEOKU says such an erratic behavior is a testament that the suits which he wears merely covers up a raw, crass and uncouth street fella, who lacked proper upbringing, including right mannerisms and etiquette. Little wonder he cannot seem to shake off the complexity of being an underachieving Cuomo and the least fulfilled of the Cuomos. That such a vagrant individual is the face of CNN and anchors a one hour program on the station daily, is yet another scandal to hit the network. Regrettably, this is the same guy who has been accusing Trump's MAGA supporters of vagrancy. 

ICHEOKU has nothing personally against Chris Fredo Cuomo, but after watching that video, is emphatic that CNN should not keep him a day longer on the network; at least not on television. A desk assignment will do, as his continuing stay on television will only be a reminder of the career-killing, indelible life altering rant. Keeping him will reflects poorly on the network and he should not be the example which CNN wants its viewers to emulate, especially their young and easily impressionable ones. 

The name Fredo shouldn't have such a bile to it as to provoke any disciplined person to such a ravenous rage, except of course the person is a time bomb waiting to go off. ICHEOKU wonders what kind of childhood which Chris Fredo Cuomo had that enshrined in him such a level of anger. Even watching his Snowball's eyes and twitching face on television and some expressions which keep them company, as well as his sometimes forced showing of teeth which he passes for a smile, tells any keen observer that he is not a happy person. Anyway, going to anger management class will be in order and any gun control measures must start by taking his guns away and keeping him away from guns. Such an angry and easily provoked personality has no business having guns handy. 

ICHEOKU says Fredo is not a racist word, otherwise Italian Don Corleone would not have named his second son Fredo. In fact Fredo is an endearment for Frederick and ICHEOKU knows a lot of people named Frederick who are affectionately called Fredo and they love it. Also Francis Coppola is Italian and he wouldn't have allowed such an Italian slur "Fredo" in making the movie; neither would Mario Puzo, another Italian, have chosen the racist name for the character in his book, The Godfather. The Godfather was not about putting Italians down but showcased their struggles through early life in America and rise to fortune. 

None of these Italians would have tolerated any disparaging of their heritage through a racial slurring name, Fredo. Chris Fredo Cuomo misfired by alleging that Fredo is racist and akin to the word Nigger because it is neither. He should have instead claimed the name and own it; and then turn it into a profitable brand merchandising and made a fortune doing it. 

But what was witnessed is a man embroiled in rage and you wonder if his home is a safe place to raise children and whether his daughter and wife are even safe being under the same roof with him. The Children welfare services ought to pay them a visit and conduct welfare check on them, failing which they should be removed from the home. CNN must therefore withdraw its blanket support for their angry presenter as not to do so, presupposes that the network condones violence and by necessary implication, encourages same and/or a threat of it, regardless of whatever preceding provocation that might have occurred. 

CNN must not be seen to endorse what happened or in any other way telegraphs, by their reaction, that such outlandish outburst is okay, even in defense of oneself. It is also not okay for adults, particularly parents, to curse in front of their children. It is the same thing which the network accuses Trump and Trump's supporters of doing that their anchorman did and now they suddenly approved of it. 

Threatening to throw a person down the stairs is as serious any threat could be and it should not be taken lightly. Possibly, it was a tip of the iceberg of the real Chris Fredo Cuomo that Americans and the whole world saw on the video and you wonder what the eruption would look like behind an enclosed space, with no camera rolling. It is for the same exact reason that our Lord and master Jesus Christ admonished that he who is without sin should throw the first stone. Here is a man who is in the business of casting aspersions on people and who continuously disparages the president, losing his temper so publicly and going off like a tornado. Even Bill O'Reilly's "DO IT LIVE" outburst fades in comparison. 

Chris Fredo Cuomo is irreparably damaged and has lost the moral authority to opine on people's behavior, especially the president. As long as he shall live and for however long CNN decides to keep him on television, and regardless of whatever achievements and accomplishments he may record, the video has forever defined him and he will be remembered for the angry outburst as Fredo. It is SAD and it is the sad reality of life, as anyone's reputation could so easily go up in smoke at a moment, either as a result of their own making or the witchery of others. But in this case, Christopher Fredo Cuomo has no other adversary except himself, as he could have easily walked away, but chose to show the pestilence that he has been going to the gym and pumping iron. Now, it is only regrets, the mother of "HAD I KNOWN."
