We have crazy people in leadership. This does not make economic sense
Kenya is set to spend up to Sh1 billion to host Bayern Munich and Ajax for a friendly match on January 5, 2027, to officially open Raila Odinga Stadium.

😆😅 definitely not what was intended
Russia has been cut off from CNN, CBS, ABC Pornhub, Facebook... US is working depriving Russians of McDonalds, Coca-Cola and US fastfood. If they continue with these sanctions and Russian people will probably be the most healthiest, well adjusted, spiritual and well informed people on the planet.

Somewhere in Africa, a whole community is living alongside snakes. They consider snakes as gods and they even have a festival to celebrate the snake god they call Vodu Dangbe. Children wrap the snakes around their necks without fear as part of their tradition.

As a pilot for 20 years I have questions: - where are the cabin crew here? - where are the oxygen masks that automatically drop during a rapid emergency descent? - how did the Capt manage to open the door while being stabbed? - Omani pilots were not allowed to fly to Israel, why was he allowed? - how did the offending pilot get a weapon onboard? - why has this happened so close to elections? - how are passengers walking around while apparently in a nosedive? - who else was injured? Nose dives cause significant g force incidents - why is there two perfectly positioned people recording the incident and not helping? - why did a plumber take control and not the 2 pilots onboard who would certainly know when an aircraft was in a nosedive? - why was the plumber speaking in English to Bibi after the flight - why was he still in his blood soaked clothes 8 hours after the incident False Flags have been a very effective mechanism to influence public opinion Hitler burnt down the Reichstag just before his parliament elections and he won the election…changing the course of history. A full and independent investigation should be carried out here. Hopefully independent journalist will be allowed to view this too.

Kenyan cabin crew attended to the stabbed pilot of the Flydubai plane to Tel Aviv, Israel. They can be heard speaking in Swahili. What a day at work for them!

BREAKING: The US Navy has completely withdrawn its warships from the blockade line around Iran after Iran’s first operational use of the advanced Qasem Basir “carrier killer” anti-ship ballistic missile, with satellite imagery showing no US carriers or destroyers in the Gulf of Oman or Arabian Sea since early September, per open-source intelligence and Sentinel-2 data. The Qasem Basir has a declared range of roughly 1,200 kilometers — enough to cover nearly the entire Gulf of Oman and the US fleet’s previous positions — and is reportedly equipped with electro-optical and thermal imaging seekers designed to track naval targets. SNSC Secretary Mohsen Rezaei said the missile “created hell for the Americans,” while CENTCOM acknowledged US vessels came under attack by hostile missiles but said they were defeated without damage. Satellite imagery shows the USS George Washington, USS George H.W. Bush, USS Tripoli and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are no longer visible in the designated blockade zone, with the line reportedly pushed beyond the missile’s range. The USS Gerald R. Ford has also left the Middle East after a ten-month deployment, leaving the US with two carriers in the region as CENTCOM prepares “short and strong” strike options against Iran. The blockade remains in place on paper, but the warships enforcing it have reportedly moved beyond the range of Iran’s anti-ship missiles.

Today, during a game drive in the Masai Mara, this pregnant zebra couldn't stand on its own. From what we observed, it seemed to have been moving with its family, but they had already continued, leaving the pregnant one behind. She kept struggling to free herself, but the driver finally had to intervene. It was a heartbreaking sight and a reminder that survival in the wild is never easy. Every day brings new challenges, and not every animal is lucky enough to overcome them. God bless our Maasai driver

President Trump Explains Trade Deficits: “If we buy 2 billion dollars worth of Bananas from Brazil, we’re actually losing 2 billion dollars. So if we stop eating bananas, we actually save 2 billion dollars”. It’s just simple Economics.

L’ancien conseiller du Département d’État américain 🇺🇸 James Carden remet les pendules à l'heure : “Les Tomahawks ne changeront rien. Pas plus que les HIMARS, Patriot ou F16. La guerre est perdue. Et c’est l’Ukraine, et non pas la Russie qui se trouve au bord du gouffre.” Et de rajouter : “L’Ukraine attaque ces territoires du Donbass depuis 2014. Les Ukrainiens ne sont pas entièrement sincères. Ils disent vouloir les terres de l'est et le Donbass, mais sans les Russes ethniques qui y vivent. Au cours des 30 dernières années, ils ont tout fait pour priver ces personnes de leurs droits.” L’aveu qui détruit trois ans de propagande occidentale. L'aveu du nettoyage ethnique des ukrainiens russophones par les Nazis hitlériens ukrainiens. @remi_philiponet

Iran 🇮🇷 has got the message
Trump ADMITS He Would BOW TO IRAN if They Had NUKES Trump on Iran: If Iran had a nuclear weapon, I would be calling the Supreme Leader. I would be saying, "Mr. Supreme Leader, how are you, sir? Is there anything we can do for you?"

They told us Iran’s military was gone. Then Iran just shot another missile wave at the bases where our troops actually sleep. I voted for Trump 3 times hoping for peace. I voted for $2 gas and no new wars. All I got was another Middle East Forever War and $4.50 gas. Overnight Iran fired ballistic missiles at Jordanian air bases hosting U.S. forces, including Muwaffaq Salti / Al-Azraq and Prince Hassan, after the latest tanker strikes. Jordan says 20 came in, 18 were intercepted, two dropped in empty ground, and they have no casualties to announce. Tehran is already claiming they smashed jet shelters and maintenance areas. That is the official picture right now. What is NOT confirmed: a mass medevac of Americans to Ramstein from *this* strike. “All troops accounted for” is a headcount. It is not an injury report. If CENTCOM puts names and numbers out, I’ll post it. Don't forget the attack on n July 17 at Muwaffaq Salti when a missile hit the container housing where U.S. troops lived. Three Americans were killed. 1st Lt. Tyler Feehan. Pvt. Isabella Gonzales. Sgt. Angel Rampersad. Air defenders. WSJ said it was the third missile onto that base in 24 hours. Sirens went off. Not everybody made the bunker. NYT later reported nearly a dozen badly wounded from that July wave were flown to Germany. That is the Ramstein story. It already happened. Trump’s war already put American kids in prefab boxes in the desert and then told you it was strategy. Now replay the greatest hits from the same people who said the Strait was open 1,000 times. March: “We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability.” March: air force and navy “literally obliterated.” June: military “totally destroyed.” “No military.” 159 ships “at the bottom of the sea.” 200 airplanes “all gone.” “Maybe 21%, 22%” of the missiles left. Rubio: navy and air force “those are all gone.” Hegseth: missile program “functionally destroyed.” Then Iran kept launching. Not once. Over and over. At the same Jordanian bases Washington turned into a hub after moving forces out of the Gulf. Hangars. Helicopters. A THAAD radar earlier this year. Troop housing in July. Another salvo this week. NYT’s own visual pass found damage at nine U.S.-linked sites after the “we already won” phase. So either Iran’s military was “100% destroyed” and it learned how to fire missiles from the afterlife, or the Trump regime has been lying to the same voters who put him there. There is no third option that makes you look smart. I called this on day one of the Iran War for Israel. WMD in Iraq all over again. Promise peace on the trail. Start a war. Declare victory into a camera. Hope nobody notices the bases still getting hit. I don’t regret voting for what he promised. I regret that the promises were nothing but lies. We the people have no representation. The working class gets the inflation, the gas, and the body bags. The political class and the rich get richer as they laugh at us. Am I wrong?

It has now emerged that Nalitex Limited, the company awarded the tender to supply Kenya's new police uniforms, was registered in May 2024 with Selpha Chesimi Temoi as its sole director and shareholder, while its registered phone number has been linked to accountant Charles Tela Alusala, a financial contact for companies associated with First Lady Rachel Ruto and President William Ruto's daughter, Charlene Ruto.

I asked someone what is the difference between Ruto's Regime and Uhuru's Regime. She said: “If I want to go to Mombasa and use the SGR, I’m grateful to Uhuru. When I use the Nairobi Expressway and see how quickly I get to my destination without sitting in tiresome traffic, I say, ‘God bless Uhuru.’ Then I asked, “What about Ruto?” She paused and said: “Every month, I look at my payslip and see money being deducted for this thing called Affordable Housing. I resent Ruto. Those houses are not even affordable to the poor. They will mostly be bought by the rich. My money is being used to benefit people who are already better off. And whenever I walk past Parliament, I get a painful déjà vu. I remember how young people’s lives were lost, and my heart skips a beat. That is why, when the time comes, I must make the right decision.”
