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.

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.

THE "DO NOT CONGRATULATE" BROUHAHA: JUST A NOISY HYSTERIA.

ICHEOKU says let the distinction between an "advise" and an "instruction" be clearly made, as it will help with a better understanding of who the party at fault here really is. An advise is a mere non binding opinion, while an instruction is an order, a mandate to comply with something forthwith. 

Advisers suggest what, in their reasonable humble opinion, is the best practice and good conduct and/or cause of action going forward on an issue. They recommend to their superior or employer or retainer or as in this case, the president, what they think he should do regarding a matter over which they were consulted or their opinion was sought. The person in authority then have to decide whether to accept or reject same; and is not bound to do as told. An advise is not mandatory; unlike an instruction which commands obedience and which is normally handed down in the cause of business from top to bottom, from the person in authority to subordinates. So while an instruction is an order which must be obeyed, an advice is simply an offered opinion which could be rejected; and which acceptance or rejection is entirely the prerogative of the person to whom it was offered. 

Therefore, it is pathetic and patently irrational and unreasonable, the current feverish fit by the same anti Trump and Never Trump crazies that the president did not heed the advise not to congratulate President Vladimir Putin over his election victory. The president is not obliged to comply with their advise or to do as told; he is the boss and accordingly was within his rightful discretion when he congratulated President Putin, regardless. The president did not break any law either and his congratulating President Vladimir Putin or any other president of another country is in order and not out of place in international relationships. Past presidents of America always congratulate elected foreign presidents and former President Barack Hussein Obama did it as well, including his 2012 congratulation of the same President Vladimir Putin. 

ICHEOKU says it is nothing but a continuing manifestation of the hatred which the Never Trumpers have against President Donald John Trump. They have been lashing out against the president for defeating their Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton and they cannot seem to get over it. So with every opportunity, no matter how trifle or ridiculous, which they find to trash the president, they strike with vengeance as is evident in the latest nonsensical hollering over a supposedly "Do not congratulate" advise which the president "violated." What a cruel reaction to a loss of power and control; people who should know better are deliberately lying to their incensed mob about something which is not true. But hey, they will still be stewing in their hate while the president gets reelected for a second term come 2020.
