How did we get here in America?

The killing of Charlie Kirk is pure evil and an act of cowardice. Instead of debating with his mouth, the shooter chose the coward act of shooting an innocent man dead from 150 yards. No one deserves to die like that...the question Americans should be asking is, how did we get here...?

When those in power use rhetoric that fans an ember of violence, when they turn a blind eye to violence committed by their supporters and open the door of prison for them to re-integrate into our communities. They ignore the state of the people, right and left, while they laugh to the bank as Americans live in penury, fear, and nightmare daily. They tell us we do not matter. They punish dissent with threat of imprisonment and bankruptcy, but friendly voices like those of Charlie Kirk is given the megaphone... when the most powerful seat in the world is used to propagate pure evil and hate... we hear it every day, we wonder why we are seeing this... that same evil and one-sided rhetoric continues in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, where false allegations are being made in vile language that incites more violence without evidence. This is a dishonor to Charlie.

I do not share any of the values that Charlie stood for in his young life. He was a divider, and he spread an ideology that dehumanizes, denies the pains of others, and reduces others to nonentity in the name of MAGA. One thing I credit him for, though, was that he did it with his mouth, not inciting violence, unlike some of the people he supported to power. He was so young with a young family. I feel for his family, and he does not deserve to die in such a tragic way. I pray his family is comforted. I hope the power that be will use this to unite the country and not further divide it.

  THE GREATEST ASSET EVER – LAND “Every time I make a movie, I buy a LAND” – Tiffany Haddish (Actress, Comedian, Singer, and Producer). If you do not know yet, I announce to you that the greatest asset that will give you an assured return, whose value hardly depreciates, is LANDED property . Reflect on the major wars going on right now in the world that are predicated on the issue of LAND. WHY? It is one of the GEM God endows humanity with that is finite in quantity. While the human population continues to increase, land area remains the same or is diminishing due to climate change. The Russia's war in Ukraine , the Gaza war , the DRC-M23 war/Rwanda , Sudan's civil war , the Cambodia–Thai war , herdsmen-farmers' violence in Nigeria and the Ethiopian civil war … all are predicated on access to land and what is in it – rare earth minerals . So, in 2026 , if you have the opportunity to invest in an asset, think about landed property.

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO EXTREMELY GOOD PEOPLE

There is a saying in my language, Yoruba , that “Igi to ba to, kii pe n’gbo” – meaning, the good ones do not seem to last or live long. WHY? Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of John F Kennedy (The U.S. President who championed the civil rights movement to end discrimination; one of the greatest U.S. presidents ever) and daughter of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis , passed away today from cancer at a young age of 35. Like her grandfather and many others in the Kennedy family, she dedicated her life to changing the world. She was a passionate environmental journalist for the New York Times and wrote a book titled "Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have” in 2019 that won the Society of Environmental Journalists’ Rachel Carson Environment Book Award in 2020. Her life’s work sheds light on how individuals’ daily activities and choices exacerbate climate change issues . Tatiana Schlossberg's work focused on making complex environmental issue...
