I have a deep love in my heart for Nairobi, Kenya and its indigenous people. It was one of the cities I spent time in on my first trip to the Motherland back in 1985. The people were warm, friendly and humble. Most of the people I met would not be able to afford to shop at the Westgate Mall where terrorists rained bullets on innocent shoppers. Some observers believe that the mall was the target because it is frequented by Westerners. Still, the fact that Kenya is allegedly becoming the battleground for Al Qaeda is troubling. In this case it’s Shabab, an Islamist militant group based in Somalia. Add long-time corruption by government officials, and it spells untold suffering for the masses of Kenyans.
How Republicans lost the map battle
You may know that the 2022 Missouri map will be used for the Nov. 3 election. What you should also know is how the state’s top Republican lawmakers conspired against the voters’ wishes and their constitutional rights. Since the last federal election, nine states have redrawn their congressional maps. Trump and his MAGA cronies had hoped Missouri would be the tenth in a perverted effort to reshape congressional districts to rig the midterm election.
