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.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

Empathy is at the heart of who we are as human beings. - Cardinal Matthew Kukah.

WORDS ON MARBLE.

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.

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.

DELAYED ELECTION: NOT AN OPTION NOR A GOOD REELECTION CAMPAIGN SPEAK.

ICHEOKU says it was one of those statements many of his supporters wished the president never made. It is regrettable that the president is casting doubt on an election which is yet to take place, thereby soiling his likely reelection victory. It is not right for the president to say that the November 3rd election will be the most "inaccurate and fraudulent" election in the history of America's elections. Such a statement has the potential to color the outcome of the election and when the president eventually wins, many people will ascribe his victory to an inaccurate and fraudulent election. 

ICHEOKU says the statement was otherwise avoidable and should have been left not made as it depicts the president of being afraid of the November 3rd election outcome. But playing the devil's advocate, assuming that the election can even be delayed, for how long exactly does the president want it delayed? A matter which needs immediate  clarification because the lockdown is now entering its sixth month without a definitive end in sight. If it is as long as it takes to find a cure for the coronavirus, will the president be comfortable having Nancy Pelosi sworn in by January as an acting president and for how long will her own presidency last. It is even possible that the president does not know that his term is fixed under the constitution and that he cannot under any circumstance or guise elongate it beyond the due date in January. 

Once again, the president was unguarded in his utterance and have now given additional ammo to his detractors with which to continue firing at him. ICHEOKU sometimes wishes the president could be more disciplined and in some cases, seek wise political consul before making some of his tweets and statements. Delaying an election which is inviolably cast in a constitutional stone is certainly a regrettable statement as it once again showed the president in a light not friendly to an otherwise well informed person. It showed the president as unaware of certain unassailable constitutional provisions which are beyond his presidential powers. The enormity of what he said rises to the same level of ignorance as his "ingesting disinfectant" comment, as the president should or ought to have known that a presidential election cannot be delayed. If only he had sought counsel, he would have known that delaying election is not tenable, just like disinfectants are not administered into the body. 

For a president who has achieved so much during his first term and has a lot of accomplishments to campaign on, it is simply inexplicable why he regularly still veers off tangent on honed-in political speak after nearly four years in office. The president so frequently wanders off into the wilderness of both the unknown and the incredulous in politics and you wonder why? Does the president not have political advisers or he chooses not to listen to them, otherwise a tweet whisperer should have been hired by now to vet what the president tweets. All the president needs in this campaign is to stay on the message of rehashing all that he has accomplished and promise to do more in his second term and it will be a case closed against Joe Biden. But that the president continuously pipes life saving oxygen into the basement of Joe Biden to keep him politically alive and soaring is simply beyond belief. Why? 

But hey, the president's middle name is controversy and he does not seem to ever get tired of generating them. The president never allows a period to go to waste without stirring one controversy to the detriment of consolidating his messaging into a one punch lights out strategic stance. Hopefully American people will remember the many good things he have already accomplished for them and forgive his misspeaks and reelect him for a second term. ICHEOKU says optimism of a reelected President Donald John Trump remains unwavering and it shall come to pass because the president has done enough to earn a second term and Joe Biden is just not an option, no matter how diced and analyzed.
