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.

SENATOR EDWARD KENNEDY, BURIED!

A life starts at birth and ends at death; upon death, society disposes of the body for their own health and convenient sake; and also as a reverence to the dead, whose remains must be properly taken care of?
Some incinerates, some cremates, some through sea disposal, some dump their dead in a designated forest, some disperse in space, while some others inter their departed ones as was done yesterday's evening at Arlington National Cemetery Washington DC area of Northern Virgina, with the body of Late Senator Edward Kennedy! Hopefully it was his wish that he be so disposed upon his last breath?
This report brings to an end our four days devotion to the memory of a man, whose stage appearance on earth was highly beneficial to mankind. Senator Edward Kennedy was indeed one of a kind, who despite being born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth, easily got down and dirty helping the less privileged of the society. This is one reason he was loved by many and as President Barack Obama said during his eulogy, 'he gave voice to the voiceless!' Icheoku appreciates the man Edward Kennedy, and for his exemplary life, we gave him a free extended coverage in our media portal.
Flown late afternoon from Boston after a funeral mass to Washington DC, Senator Edward Kennedy's body briefly made a stop over at the Senate building where he called office for the last 47 years, before proceeding for a historic final rendezvous with his late brothers at Arlington? With three volleys to the sky by seven riflemen, a bugler's taps and as if the heavens were participating in the burial of this great man, lightning flickered across the sky simultaneously, Ted was buried? It is instructive that the heavens also opened up and teared down during his funeral service at Boston? Remarkable, that is!
Edward Kennedy's grave-site is flanked 100 feet away, by his brother Robert's, killed in 1968 in Los Angeles California while running for president; and John F. Kennedy's , another 100 feet away, who was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas Texas, while a sitting president! The eternal flame lighted in his honor since 1963 still burns in Arlington. Icheoku says, science wonders that this flame is unquenchable and has burned since 46 years now? Ted Kennedy's grave is marked by a white oak cross and a flat marble foot-stone inscribed "Edward Moore Kennedy 1932-2009."
As he now lay buried alongside his two departed brothers, one a president and the other a senator, on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery, Icheoku says, rest in peace in the Lord, and may the dream you kept alive all these years, continue to live on! Adieu Teddy!
