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.

MBS' FINDING OF GUILTY: WHAT'S THE POINT ANYWAY?

ICHEOKU says what use is it in finding someone guilty of an offense but not punishing him for committing the offense. Why did the government waste time and resources investigating a crime if it is only for show and not meant to punish the offender as a deterrent to others. So what if the government just confirmed what the world knew right from the start that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed Bin Salman killed Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi? What is the point if he is not punished for what he did; is he above the law or is America afraid of the consequences of an overreach in punishing him? 

But as with everything the far left does, symbolism is the key. They live in their make believe world of fantasy where their reality is different from the rational reality and where they always want to be seen as going to do something rather than actually doing the something. This helps them to psychologically justify their hypocritical way of life which they delude themselves is better and far superior to the other side, the right side of course. They harangued President Donald John Trump without ceasing for cozying up too much to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and not punishing their Crown Prince of Beelzebub Mohammed Bin Salman for murdering journalist Jamal Khashoggi. But now that their Joe Biden had the same opportunity to punish the same fella and has similarly passed, it is all cricket on their side. There was no similar fever-pitched hysteria from them which similarly demanded that Joe Biden not to do what he just did and/or thereafter, condemn him for what he did, granting a general pardon and amnesty to MBS. 

But what exactly can America really do to Saudi Arabia when the Kingdom can sink America's economy if it chooses; afterall they practically own America having invested heavily in America's economy including in banking, finance, real estate, Internet based outfit, Wall Street and security bonds. They also have the capacity to crash America's oil and energy economy by flooding the world market with the black liquid. They can also dump their dollars and force the dollar to become toilet paper without value. They can decide to withdraw their students from American universities and colleges and with it the millions of dollars which they pump into America's education economy. They can decide to pull out their over $700 billion cash in America and put it elsewhere. They can decide to stop buying Boeing planes and other aircrafts from other American manufacturers including fight jets. Lastly they can decide to stop patronizing America's defense industries by sourcing their weaponry elsewhere including from Russia, China, United Kingdom and Europe. 

So what exactly is the leverage which America really has over Saudi Arabia that the Kingdom cannot find elsewhere including mercenary countries to defend it. But it was the pressure of the far leftist anarchists that forced Joe Biden's hand and he did what he did just to placate them, which of course they are already complaining was not enough nor satisfactory. 

Anyway, the gist of this article is not to chastise Joe Biden for going easy on MBS; no, it is just  to once again bring to the fore the hypocrisy of the left which always talks more than they do. They were fully aware that there is nothing much America can actually do to the Saudi Arabia prince over the murder of Khashoggi yet they attacked President Donald John Trump endlessly for not doing something to the prince. They also accused the president of all manners of collusion including covering up for and protecting MBS, the reason they proffered made the president spare the rod and not punish the prince for the killing. Joe Biden has now done exactly the same thing by not punishing the prince. 

But it is what it is as things rarely changes in diplomatic relationships as friendships are bonded by purely only interests and not morality. Countries including America regularly first weigh the pros and cons of their actions against any country before taking them. Fortunately for Saudi Arabia, they have special status  because they have some serious economic muscles backed by billions of dollars of oil money which they can easily throw around if provoked; hence America had to think twice before making the Kingdom unhappy. It is all about the Benjamins and they got loads of it, the reason America cannot use any stick on them no matter how small or big. For far leftist trouble makers, you now know to stop the whining that Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman got away with murder.
