Lebanese President to Iran: 'This is not your country.'
Hezbollah doesn't represent Lebanon, it's an Iranian proxy holding the Lebanese people hostage. It's time to free Lebanon from Iran's grip.
Ask yourselves: why would Hezbollah need stockpiles like this in South Lebanon?
💥 5 tons of explosives
💥 Dozens of killer drones
💥 Land mines and IEDs
This was all meant to be used against the people of Israel, and our northern cities and villages.
This is what we're defending ourselves against.
A majority of Kenyans have continued to extend their hands to support Joel, an American passport holder and former US Navy worker who’s now stranded in Malindi. He was allegedly defrauded of over Ksh 80 million by his Kenyan partner Martha.
After selling his Ksh 100 million house in Dublin for a comfortable retirement, Joel bought property with Martha but now faces a demand letter from her lawyer ordering him to vacate the house until the court decides the case. Joel risks being evicted and is currently homeless, penniless, and relying on well-wishers.
A member of the Rotary Club of Malindi has offered him unlimited accommodation, and we’re grateful to the “Father of Dogs” for his legal guidance and for standing with Joel physically in court.
This case highlights a painful reality at the Kenyan coast where foreigners lose their lifetime’s savings to fake relationships and get stranded in a foreign land. Joel lost everything he built in just 4 months. We pray the U.S. Embassy Nairobi steps in to help one of their own.
The ongoing case is scheduled for Wednesday next week in Malindi, and we urge anyone who can to show up and support humanity. Aki huyo mzungu anakiona kweli…
For 48 hours of this so-called ceasefire, Hezbollah launched attack after attack after attack.
Rockets.�Drones.�Missiles.�IEDs.�Even a terrorist infiltration.
Then #Israel responds.
Suddenly, the peace talks are off!

This is the one. An apartment block in Africa, designed by an architect working in Africa, using Swahili moucharabiah screens that filter sunlight and pull sea breezes through every floor, built with coral stone, local timber lattices and terrazzo by artisans from Mombasa and Lamu. No imported facade system. No sealed glass curtain wall. A building that knows exactly where it is.
Tudor Apartments. Tudor Creek, Mombasa, Kenya. Urko Sanchez Architects. 14 apartments. 2017.
The moucharabiah screen wrapping the entire facade is not decorative. It is the climate system. It filters direct sunlight before it hits the glass, allows cross ventilation from the creek breezes through every apartment, and creates the kind of shaded interior environment that a sealed concrete box with air conditioning running twenty-four hours is trying and failing to replicate at three times the energy cost. The coral stone cladding, the hand-carved wooden lattices, the terrazzo floors were all executed on site by artisans from Mombasa and Lamu.
This is an African building, on African land, built with African craft, solving an African climate problem. It exists. It is standing. And most of what goes up around it in Mombasa today looks nothing like it.
We have the materials. We have the tradition. We have the artisans. What we keep choosing instead is the concrete box with the tiny windows.

Right now, at least 100 Hezbollah terrorists are trapped inside a strategic tunnel.
The IDF controls every exit above them.
Iran’s pressure is trying to make Israel fold and save the terrorists and the tunnel. U.S. pressure isn’t working so far.
What should be done?
Xiaomi 17 Ultra with Leica and OPPO Find X9 Ultra with Hasselblad are two of my favourite currently for Camera 🔥
Both processing are mind blowing. Leica Authentic and Master Mode is being used here.
🚨 JUST IN: TotalEnergies has installed solar panels on 150+ of its 250+ fuel stations. Many can now run entirely on solar.
The irony of a fossil fuel giant reducing its reliance on KPLC while selling us petrol is wild. 💀
But the real takeaway?
If a literal oil company is investing heavily in solar, what's keeping the rest of us?
KPLC is a sinking ship clinging to a monopoly, in my opinion. In fact, I believe the government keeps solar panel and battery taxes high because a mass shift to solar would threaten that monopoly, and ordinary Kenyans pay the price.
If solar equipment were VAT-exempt or zero-rated, prices would fall, and many more households and businesses would make the switch.
