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.

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.

KYLE RITTENHOUSE FOUND NOT GUILTY: IT WAS THE RIGHT AND CORRECT DECISION.

ICHEOKU says did not expect anything less as he fired off those shots in self defense, to avert a threatened imminent grave bodily harm to his person and even a possible death. Anybody who saw that video of him forced down on the pavement, surrounded by an irate mob with no where else to go; and also watched him throughout the court proceedings, observed his countenance and demeanor, will agree that the jury reached the correct verdict. Self defense is the only time and situation when the killing of another is ever completely excused by law. Kyle Rittenhouse killed under such circumstance and the jury rightly agreed.

It is not always that often that we see an accused person take the stand and testify in their own case; as they most always will take refuge under the 5th Amendment against self incrimination. But he bravely and courageously took the stand and acquitted himself creditably very well throughout the cross examination. He came across as believable and credible; and his innocent baby face helped a lot to convince everyone that the fella sitting on the accused chair was incapable of committing a depraved heart crime such as murder. It helped that his lawyers were persuaded by his intelligence to gamble with him testifying and he did not disappoint. 

His lawyers did a good job too and their case was immensely helped by that particular video. Thanks to whoever the videographer was that captured that very moment of truth; and hopefully he was rewarded bountifully for that frozen in time image of Kyle sitting on that pavement, bewildered and watching his life flashing before his own very eyes. Good enough he was good with the gun and he was able to save himself, just by the whiskers. Imagine what the angry mob would have done to him had the gun jammed or misfired? They would have ripped him into pieces; but the good Lord was smiling down on him that night and he was saved by the bell of his AR-15 rifle. 

Nobody is celebrating that two people lost their lives on that fateful night and another third person was injured. If there is anything to celebrate, it is that justice was done in the case and an innocent man was adjudged accordingly. Kyle Rittenhouse did what majority of Americans wished they could have done that night but couldn't do. The jurors lived through that nightmarish experience and like every sane American, were grateful that Kyle Rittenhouse acted when he did to help put an end to the madness that was ravaging America that ugly summer of 2020.  They were therefore better placed to appreciate what went down that led to Kyle Rittenhouse's defensive firing off of his rifle.

Anyway, the nation can now breath a sigh of relief that justice was done in this case and that the anticipated mayhem by the anarchists domestic terrorists Black Lives Matter and their ANTIFA partners was effectively checkmated. Now let everyone move on and allow Kyle Rittenhouse to exhale as he continues to recover from the trauma of that event and the families of those who lost their lives continue to heal and the wounded best of healing as well. 

ICHEOKU says is particularly impressed by Kyle Rittenhouse astuteness. He is a testimony of a very good upbringing and he is both intelligence and knowledgeable. He is a proud son of his parents and they should be glad they have him as their son. He has earned his pips as a very personable smart young man and has burrowed himself into the minds of millions of admirers worldwide, especially those who call America home and residence. A career in law should be a natural calling for him. That guy is lovable. 

It will be good if Americans can now start healing from the mortal distrust existing amongst them; where blacks and whites are constantly at each other's neck and everything is seen in the prism of white and black. ICHEOKU says is not white, but Kyle Rittenhouse's case has nothing to do with race as anyone similarly situated, faced with imminent danger and threat to their life, would have similarly acted and not expect to be locked up simply for defending themselves. The video spoke a gazillion words in defense of Kyle Rittenhouse and the whole case was anchored on it.

If anybody does not like the verdict, let them persuade their lawmakers to change the protective wingspan of killing in self defense. But until then, what Kyle Rittenhouse did was a pure self defense move and the law still permits it. May the souls of those killed rest and may Kyle Rittenhouse be allowed to move on with his life. Hopefully, his remorseful tears are genuine and he should continue to maintain that poster which he presented to American people which helped him win a lot of people over. One last advise, he should endeavor to never be caught or found or captured on video celebrating those killings. Lastly, if OJ Simpson could walk, Kyle Rittenhouse walking should not be a big deal as he rightly merited his own walk of freedom.
