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.

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

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.

YOU AIN'T BLACK: JOE BIDEN REDEFINES BEING BLACK IN AMERICA.

ICHEOKU says the only reason Joe Biden's campaign has survived thus far is the intervention of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic which has put every other thing in the back burner, including paying closer attention to the candidates for the November 3rd presidential election. As a result, Joe Biden's campaign is still very much alive, otherwise his many gaffes plus more, would have since arrested his campaign with a heart attack. A man known for his many gaffes and who would have made even more egregious gaffes had he been on the campaign trail and being bombarded with questions by reporters. But luckily for him, the coronavirus took away focus from him as American people's attention was diverted to the coronavirus pandemic which has subdued the nation, including the 2020 presidential campaign. 

So ICHEOKU is not surprised nor shocked when Joe Biden defined black people as only those who vote for the Democratic Party. In his assessment, the party owns black people and black people should better know this fact and should do as they are told by voting for the Democratic Party's candidate and no one else. It has been the way of the Democratic Party ever since. They see black votes as theirs as of right and perceive any black person voting outside the expected voting pattern as an unruly slave who is rebelling against the plantation. Black people have been voting for the Democrats all these years and have nothing to show for their loyal bloc votes. The fact that they continued to vote for Democrats regardless, made them to be treated without respect by the party. A matter made worse because without black votes, there will be no Democratic Party victories in American elections, yet black people have not wielded this power to their own advantage. 

Former Vice President Joe Biden is a man with storied racist inclinations and who was called out for this during the just concluded Democratic Party's presidential primaries by Kamara Harris and Cory Booker respectively. The same Joe Biden once mentioned  putting black people back in chains. Joe Biden once took pride in his State of Delaware being a slave owning State with the fourth largest black population in America. It is also on record that Joe Biden alongside Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton championed the 1994 Crime Bill which led to the disproportionate incarceration of hundreds of thousands of black people. 

Hillary Clinton had called black people Super Predators and Joe Biden authored the same bill as chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Joe Biden also has a condescending manner of talking down on black people including when he said that Black Obama was the first clean and articulate black person he has ever seen and you wonder what he thought of  Jesse Jackson, Ron Brown and other black politicians before Obama. Joe Biden also proudly parleyed around with known unapologetic racist senators; so it is possible he is just one of them, admitted he would rather he is seen differently. 

Therefore ICHEOKU is not surprised when Joe Biden classified black people or rather defined them in terms of who they vote for. It is true that during the concluded primaries, without black people in South Carolina, Joe Biden's candidacy would have since been a forgotten issue. So, he ought to have answered Charlamagne of The Breakfast Club question, what he would do to show black people that he appreciates their effort in saving his candidacy and making him the presidential candidate. 

According to  Charlamagne, black people saved Joe Biden's political life in the primaries and they have things they want from Joe Biden, one of which is a black woman running mate. But instead of answering the question, Joe Biden went on to lecture Charlamagne that there are multiple black women being considered alongside other women for the vice presidential slot. This was a far cry from the question, which was whether Joe Biden will choose a black woman for his vice presidential candidate to compensate black people for their primaries vote for him. 

Joe Biden was prodded by one of his handlers to end the interview to which Charlamagne retorted that black media has more questions to ask Joe Biden but Joe Biden said he does not mind ending any interview whether it is black media or white media and that his wife has something to do within the period. Then Joe Biden interjected that additional questions from black media will not be necessary because any back person who is still having problem about who to vote for between him and Trump is not a legitimate black person. In his own words, "I'll tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or for Trump, then you ain't black." 

ICHEOKU says this is who Joe Biden is and he does not care about earning black votes because as far as he is concerned, they are already securely tucked in his box and he should not waste time working further to earn them. But will black people make him pay as they made Hillary Clinton in 2016? Only November 3rd shall tell. ICHEOKU agrees with Andrew Surabian that Joe Biden telling black Americans that they 'ain't black' if they don't vote for him is about as condescending and racist as it gets. So sad.
