[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.

🚨💣 Josh Kroenke’s Emotional Words: It would mean the World To Me If I Carry The Trophy Out with My Father.

🗣️I was at the Etihad when Arsenal were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City in April. “I thought Declan’s mentality was spot on: ‘It’s not done’. “I think our group still believed, even if the rest of the world had started to move on. Being in that dressing room after that match, I think the players all looked at each other and were like, ‘We can still do this’.”

🗣️When Arsenal beat Burnley 1-0, I was in the directors’ box. I flew back to the U.S. the next morning, landing just as Bournemouth scored against Manchester City to put Arsenal within touching distance of the title.

🗣️I got back to my home in Denver. I flew through the door and actually went into my bedroom and turned it on,“I don’t think anybody else wanted to experience the energy that I was having in that moment in time. But when we did win, there was an unexpected outpouring of emotion for me.

🗣️My first phone call was to my dad, my second was to Mikel. I figured he wouldn’t answer right away because he was probably doing exactly what I was doing at that moment, which was celebrating and crying with your loved ones. But a few minutes later, he called me back, and we had a great moment.

🗣️I didn’t know the exact protocol of how the trophy was to be presented, But I just said, ‘It would mean the world to me if I could carry it out with my father’. And if it wasn’t both of us, I wanted it to be him carrying it out because of everything that we’ve been through over here in England.

🗣️That moment to celebrate Arsenal’s first EPL in 22 years represents what I call “a journey beyond belief” for my family and my club.

🗣️Those were powerful images for me to get halfway around the world,” says Kroenke. “It was great to see people come together for a singular moment like that. We’ve all come from different parts of the world, different walks of life, but if you’re an Arsenal supporter, everyone is united.❤️

Then in 2016, Estama company imported 100 containers and called them mobile clinics.

Painted them so well.

The company bought each at KSH 1.2 Million and sold to the Ministry of Health at KSH 10 million each, making a profit of Ksh 9 million per container.

The crooks were paid KSH 1 billion from the government and dumped the containers in Mombasa and Nairobi, and vanished.

Nobody has been convicted.

The heist just died silently.

We have gone through a lot.

Monkey business

[Kenya Wildlife Service @KWSKenya]

Senior Counsel, @DonaldBKipkorir , we must respectfully report that after exhaustive investigations, all “suspect monkeys” have exercised their constitutional right to disappear into the vast witness protection programme otherwise known as the park 😄.

On a serious note, at Kenya Wildlife Service we are fully committed to justice for both man and monkey—but in this particular case, the evidence trail seems to have leapt from the forest straight into a matrimonial courtroom.

Given your towering reputation in dispute resolution, we humbly (and urgently!) request that you step in—not to prosecute the monkey—but to mediate the “domestic wildlife conflict” at hand. This one appears less about primates of the wild and more about primates of the household.

Should the monkeys resurface, we assure you they will be treated as persons of interest. Until then, Counsel, the brief is yours 😄

[IRAN EMBASSY in KENYA @IRANinKENYA]

Your Excellency, allow us to comment on this post in which we are of the view that it has missed a few important chapters of international law:
1. Aggression originates from the U.S. and the Israeli regime use of regional water, air and land territories: Based on Article 3(f) of the UN General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) (Definition of Aggression, 14 December 1974), “The action of a State in allowing its territory, which it has placed at the disposal of another State, to be used by that other State for perpetrating an act of aggression against a third State” constitutes aggression. For months, we had warned neighboring countries—particularly those along the Persian Gulf—that any aggression from their soil against Iran would be met with our inherent right to self‑defense. Despite their denials, numerous attacks against Iran have been launched from U.S. bases in these countries, a small example being the downing of three military aircraft in Kuwait.
2. Violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter: The United States and the Israeli regime have violated Article 2(4) , which requires all Members to “refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.” Their military aggression against Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is the root cause of the current crisis.
3. Iran’s response is lawful, legitimate self‑defense: Our response has been strictly in exercise of our inherent right to self‑defense, consistent with international law and the principles of proportionality, necessity, and discrimination. Operations have targeted only military bases and assets of the aggressors. After these military installations were struck, enemy military personnel and forces fled into hotels and civilian centers, taking innocent civilians as hostages—a gross violation of the law of armed conflict.
4. The Strait of Hormuz: prior freedom of navigation & current restrictions: Before the U.S.‑Israeli regime military aggression against Iran’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, the Strait of Hormuz was open to all countries. Any current disruption to Persian Gulf security or maritime traffic is a direct consequence of that aggression, and full responsibility lies with the aggressors. As the coastal state, Iran has introduced necessary restrictions to ensure safe passage. Vessels belonging to non‑belligerent countries may conduct innocent passage in coordination with Iran. Clearly, vessels of belligerent parties—especially the U.S. and the terrorist Israeli regime, as well as those serving their interests—cannot use this waterway.
5. Call on all free and independent nations: The Islamic Republic of Iran expects all free and independent nations to stand on the right side of history and condemn the aggressors. We reaffirm our readiness for diplomatic solutions based on mutual respect and international law, but will not hesitate to defend our sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national security.
Thank you Excellency for paying due consideration the the above facts.

It’s either my uncle Waruthu is heavily bewitched… or the man is the luckiest dropout kikuyu in the history of Kenya.

This man dropped out in Class 6. No degree. No biashara. No master plan. Just inherited land and some anointed timing.

He starts in Kingeero with a plot left by his father.

Then boom Western Bypass construction comes slicing through it, then KeNHA appears and tells him,

“Waruthu, kindly move, but first collect your 16 million.”

Now a serious man would sit down, call a fundi, maybe an architect, maybe even think of rentals, biashara, mabati ya tenants, something sensible.

Not Waruthu.

Waruthu buys land in Gitaru for 4 million, puts up a 3-bedroom house, then takes the rest of the money and launches a one-man campaign of alcohol, women and complete financial vandalism.

The man did not spend money. He attacked it.

Two years later, before the dust even settles, KeNHA returns again.

This time for the Gitaru-Kikuyu interchange.

I’m not joking.

Same man. Same story. Same government. Another cheque.
19 million.

At this point you stop calling it luck. This is now a calling.

He moves to Manguo near Limuru town, buys about three-quarter acre, builds again for around 4 million, then does exactly what he had done before.

Not almost. Not roughly. Exactly.

House first, then the balance is taken hostage by bars, women and enjoyment until nothing remains except memories and hangovers.

Any other human being would learn.

Waruthu?

Waruthu behaves like a man who thinks compensation is a monthly salary.

Then last November Ruto launches the Rironi-Nakuru-Mau Summit Road project.

Now tell me why this man’s land is again sitting next to the highway like it had been booked in advance.

Again the government comes.

Again they acquire.

Again Waruthu is paid.

This time 25 million.

You people, there are men who hustle for 20 years and never smell 5 million.

This fool has made a full career out of being removed by road projects.

He doesn’t farm.

He doesn’t build wealth.

He doesn’t invest.

He just keeps positioning himself where tarmac will eventually develop feelings.

The last report we got was that he had moved to Ponda Mali in Nakuru.

Either there’s a powerful mganga somewhere blessing his land papers… or God has a very twisted sense of humour when it comes to my uncle.

The man is turning Kenyan infrastructure into his personal ATM.

Respect. 😂

A guy asked a girl in a library; "Do you mind if I sit beside you"?
The girl answered with a loud voice; "I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT
WITH YOUUU!!!.
All the students in the library started staring at the guy and he was embarrassed. After a couple of minutes, the girl walked quietly to the guy's table and she told him "I study psychology and I know what a man is thinking, I guess you felt embarrassed right?"
The guy responded with a
loud voice: "$200 JUST FOR ONE NIGHT!!!?
THAT'S TOO MUCH!!!"
...and all the people in the
library looked at the girl in shock and the guy whispered in her ears; "I study Law and I know how to make someone feel guilty"😂

A coworker brings two lunches to work every day.

I thought his wife was spoiling him.

Turns out the second one isn’t for him. It’s for a guy in the neighboring department who’s on unpaid internship, living alone and barely able to afford food.

My coworker found out about it by chance and started bringing an extra lunch every day. It’s been six months now.

The intern thinks the cafeteria is running a promotion—two meals for the price of one.

But there’s no promotion.

Just a person who cooks an extra portion every evening for someone who barely has enough to get by.
