Yes this is a huge problem. When the failed underachiever Kamala Harris was named for the Democratic presidential nomination, no Democrat dared challenge her, as it would have led to denunciations for standing in the way of the first African American woman becoming US president.…

That's why I oppose this the "first woman" shit. It a recipe for chaos because you can't level any genuine criticism without this retards sounding "because am a woman '. We are criticizing you because of failure not because of some wet crack between your legs



THIS IS BIG! Son of our renowned public intellectual Mahmood Mamdani and the even more renowned Bollywood/Hollywood film director Mira Nair, Zohran is a socialist and the most progressive member of the NY State Assembly. nytimes.com/2024/10/22/nyr…


The Flailing Superpower nybooks.com/articles/2024/… via @nybooks In extraordinary condemnation of US, Mishra says it has ruled the world through raw use of force, and there is no “lesser evil” between Trump or Harris. Biden assisted Gaza massacres "while chanting ceasefire," with…


AUC chairman: Why this could be Africa’s most important election (More my FB pg) In 1990, Sub-Saharan Africa accounted for 15 percent of the world’s extremely poor. Unknown to the world, and indeed to most Africans, by 2022 that figure had soared to 60 percent, while every other…

RAILA'S LEVEL OF SUPPORT FOR AFRICAN COMMISSION CHAIRMAN POSITION I am aware how many countries have publicly supported Raila but its still startling to see this graphically displayed! The potential candidates list is outdated, like some other items. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Afri…


Thanks Pundit, but he did do a lot as MP for Kamukunji, serving 17 years, which is a high sign for approval from his constituents. If you read the Nation story, you'll see why. Among many other stands, as Cabinet Minister he opposed Mzee Kenyattta's decision to allot 100 acres…

Are you looking for roads and schools? Sorry, hiyo ni kazi ya government.



Mzee Wanjigi was one of our nicest, brightest, most honest, democratic leaders. He helped change Kenya's history helping Dr Muthiora defeat Dagoretti MP Dr Mungai, then considered Mzee Kenyatta's successor. At Muthiora's death, Mzees Wanjigi and Matiba stunned me with their…

Former Cabinet Minister, Maina Wanjigi dies aged 92 while receiving treatment at Nairobi Hospital; he served as Minister for Agriculture, Public Works and Tourism. He is father of politician and businessman Jimi Wanjigi.

Very painful seeing a diminished President Biden making Trump the likely US leader. Democrats misled us, media covered up his extreme frailty. As Economist says, by not dropping out, he "recklessly endangered the democracy he claims to want to protect." economist.com/united-states/…


Kenya's Ruto Rejects Tax Bill, Returns It to Parliament, Local Media Reports "I concede," said President Ruto. Overwhelming courageous pressure from young Kenyans led to a historic Kenyan presidential reversal. Took courage backing down right after his fiery, belicose stand…


NY TIMES: Death Toll in Kenya Tax Protests Rises to at Least 22, State Agency Says Raila Odinga: “Kenya cannot afford to kill its children just because the children are asking for food, jobs and a listening ear." nytimes.com/2024/06/26/wor…


Kenya Protests Are a Blow to Biden’s Embrace of President Ruto The turmoil on Tuesday represented a blow to the Biden administration’s tight embrace of President William Ruto, a strong U.S. ally on a continent where American influence is rapidly waning. nytimes.com/2024/06/25/wor…


FRENCH BAN ON HIJAB EXTENDS TO ABAYAs. Thanks Makau. Let me add that President Macron, using racism in his bid for re-election, also signed a ban on schoolgirls wearing the abaya, a loose-fitting, full-length robe Arabs have worn for centuries. Anti-Muslim hate flourishes...

Some of my siblings are Muslims and wear the hijab. Neither they, nor I, or anyone I know, has ever thought the hijab to be a tool of “evangelism,” by which I think you mean proselytism. Only a Christian zealot would think so.



Kenya's Binaifer Nowrojee to head Open Society Foundations I can't believe that the little girl I saw grow up in Nairobi has just been appointed to one of the world's most pivotal positions in political philanthropy. She succeeds Lord Mark Malloch Brown. nation.africa/kenya/news/ken…


WORLD COURT: ISRAEL MUST PREVENT GAZA GENOCIDE. This is a major victory for Humanity, Justice, Palestinians and South Africa, and a severe blow to Israel's powerful western backers. Of 17 judges, only Uganda’s Sebutinde opposed all the court’s decisions. More my FB page. #GAZA

Justice Julia SEBUTINDE of Uganda is an embarrassment to Africa and the world. What a shame!

ISRAEL STILL BLOCKING AID - UN CHIEF. A day after UN Security Council demanded urgent emergency relief to get into Gaza, Mr Guterres said Israel was creating “massive obstacles” to its distribution in a Gaza battered to smithereens. More my Fb pg #Gaza cnbc.com/2023/12/23/un-…


ISRAEL FORCED TO ADMIT ATROCITY. Joy Reid had Mark Regev, Netanyahu’s BIG LIE spokesman squirming with questions like would Israel use 20,000 pound bomb on an Israeli hospital if a Hamas leader was hiding there? Google "joy reid mark regev interview" More my Fb pg. #GAZA #REIDOUT
