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.

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 MASSACRE AT TUCSON ARIZONA, CONGRESSWOMAN GIFFORDS SHOT.

CONGRESS WOMAN GABRIELLE GIFFORDS SHOT, OUR HEARTS GOES OUT TO HER!
Icheoku says blame Rush Limbaugh, FoxNews, Tea Party activists, Senator John McCain (That One) as well as some other Republican Party establishment people for the tragedy of Tucson, Arizona. The suspect, Jared Lee Loughner, 22, most likely, acted out the script written by these people; people who on a regular and sometimes daily basis, use their respective pulpits to divide America between the "Real Americans and those who hate America". Regrettably, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was classified by necessary implication of these anarchists' acerbic rhetoric, into the later category; being a Democrat in a bloody-red state Arizona and the rest as they say now belongs to history. 

Their rhetoric was swallowed hook, line and sinker by this crazed-out white nincompoop as a call to action to protect his America from being destroyed by those people who hate it and he went on a killing rampage; leaving in its trail a dead Federal Court Judge, a nine-year old child and four others. His mayhem also wounded 13 others, including a United States Congress woman Gabrielle Giffords, whom he shot in the head, his bullet piercing through her brains and taking some of them as it exited from the opposite side of her head. The prognosis post surgery does not look good and appears grim, despite the cautious optimism expressed by her crisis management team. It is her brains that was impacted and Icheoku fears the congresswoman might never recover fully with all her faculties in tact. The congresswoman may end up in a vegetative condition or become so debilitated s a result of her injury that she can no longer live a full and very meaningful life of representing the good people of her district in the United States congress, all thanks but no thanks to a nut-crack, who was inspired by some right-wing talking-heads to go on a killing rampage. 

In a wacko state like Arizona which permits packing of loaded guns publicly and which has become the poster-child of anti-people state in America, it is very easy to see coming, a scenario like played itself out in Tucson. There was an incensed "real American" with a loaded gun, which the law in Arizona allowed him to carry and a sitting target, who has been derided as an "American hater" by some public officials utterances; the two converging at the same place was a bad mix as evidenced by the resultant explosive tragedy? It should have been anticipated by the congresswoman's security details that the possibility of a lost-cause coming to the venue of the 'Congress in the constituency' meet and greet is highly likely and additional security provided just in case. But they never did, resulting in the sudden death of six innocent people and the fatal wounding of 13 others, whose blood was spilled by this monster white boy, "real American?"

Icheoku says, if you one is a "real American" and have been constantly bombarded with tales that some people are destroying your America, it is only natural that you have to fight back to stop the bleeding and defend your America? This is our theory of the mayhem of Tucson and exactly what possibly drove the nut-job, Jared Lee Loughner, to go after an identified "suspect and one of those destroying his America?" These band of "real Americans" recently read the constitution publicly, yet they do not abide by the letters of the constitution therein contained by not respecting the freedom of speech and association of other Americans who differ from them. Icheoku says Democrats and other none-Republican Tea Party activists in America equally have rights under the constitution to be different and to have beliefs which is at variance with the formers' far right extremist viewpoints and agenda. But to call to question their love for the country or deprive them their right enshrined under the constitution is the real anti-American move and hatred for the American way.

But regrettably these hypocrites are so perverted in their myopic 'Americanness' that they believe that it is only their viewpoint that is protected under the constitution and nothing more. For them the constitutional provision of freedom of speech and association should be skewed and interpreted to read as follows:- "viewpoints are only protected as longer as it is extremist and resonates as ours, likewise the right of freedom of association."  However, now that one of their disciples have spilled the blood of so many innocent Americans, motivated by what he has heard over the years coming out of the mouths of his heroes and people he looked up to, they are crying holly-molly and pretending not to know what triggered the massacre of Tucson. Icheoku calls it another sad day in America, a case of domestic terrorism by a white-boy American, on American soil; a boy who has now joined the ranks of Timothy McVeigh as yet another infamous American bloody domestic terrorist. His very wicked act will complicate the good works of our security agencies and makes it much more difficult for them to easily discern the terrorists that will or are planning to attack our motherland. Icheoku asks, should we still be looking only for Arab or Middle Eastern looking terrorists when we now have such an all American white boy doing the bidding of Al-Querida in Tucson Arizona? An animal who have indulged and obliged Al-Querida plans and made their wish come through by shooting and mass killing Americans on their soil and in their public place, their grocery shopping center?

It is indeed laughable that all those who in one way or the other motivated this domestic terrorist, the agent provocateurs, are now pretending not to know what triggered the Tucson massacre. They are the same people who repeatedly over the last two years since Obama became president, gingered the likes of lunatic Jared Lee Loughner with their inciting words that the Democrats and Obama are destroying their America. Now that Jared rose in defense of "their America" as a "real American," Icheoku wonders why the Senator John McCains, Speaker John Boehners, Sarah Palins, Sharon Angle and other Republican Tea Party activists of America are surprised that their instigation have finally born fruit? The dots are very easy to connect and they should rather be "delighted" that their message have finally been heard by a "real American" who decided to use his second Amendment right to defend "their America" as Sharon Angle once suggested and advised.

The tragedy of Tucson is akin to a mother or father constantly complaining in front of their grown-up adult son that someone is disparaging their family's name. Eventually, if the boy rises to defend the family's honor by eliminating the subject matter of the parent's complain, wouldn't it be ridiculous for such parents to subsequently open their mouths to say they did not know what tipped their son over? If Icheoku had its way, several other people including Rush Limbaugh, Senator John Mccain, Sharon Angle, Sarah Palin and other divisive elements of America, th so called "real Americans", will be summoned and bound over to tone down their rhetoric, at the pain of being arrested and tried as instigators for creating the caustic atmosphere that led to the Tucson tragedy. Enough should now really be enough and political partisanship bickering moderated to avoid such wacko-doddle as Jared Lee Loughners of America from misinterpreting such fighting words as a call for arms in defense of their America. It is regrettable that the charged partisanship in the land had to boil over with the senseless massacre and blood letting that took place in Tucson. Icheoku sympathizes with all the victims and our condolences to the families who lost their loved ones in the ensuing mayhem, our hearts goes out to them all. Icheoku says, please America, 'Tone Down the Rhetoric!'
