The case of the White House bust of Winston Churchill
It had once been a transatlantic art scandal or at least various actors of questionable intent would have you believe it was.
Overheated, confusing and laden in the end with blatant racism, the case of the White House bust of Winston Churchill still persists.
President Joe Biden has removed it from the Oval Office after four years standing sentry under his predecessor, who thought he looked something like the wartime prime minister.
An Oval Office redesign brought in new busts instead: Latino civil rights leader Cesar Chavez, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Robert F. Kennedy, Rosa Parks and Eleanor Roosevelt.
Joe Biden s socialist hero: Latino union firebrand fought AGAINST illegal immigrants but brutally purged anyone who defied him (while hushing his MANY infidelities to keep up his Catholic family man image)
A bust of firebrand Latino union leader Cesar Chavez now takes pride of place behind the President s chair
Chavez is controversial because of his brutal tactics and opposition to strike breaking illegal immigrants
He was also devoutly Catholic but had many affairs that were hushed up to maintain his family man image
Biden has replaced a statue of Andrew Jackson with bust of Chavez. A bust of Churchill has also gone
The said post by the Kenyan President contained a congratulatory message to his Ugandan counterpart Yoweri Museveni who on Saturday won the country’s general elections.
As is the tradition, President Kenyatta while congratulating Museveni, explained, via the official State House Kenya Facebook page, that the former guerrilla leader’s victory ‘is a testimony of the confidence of the People of Uganda in his leadership’.
The Kenyan leader also promised that ‘Kenya and Uganda will continue deepening their bilateral relationship to the benefit of their people’.
While fagging the post, Facebook claimed that message had been checked and found to be fake.
Somalia cuts diplomatic ties with Kenya
Somalia has said it will withdraw its diplomats from Kenya and has given Kenyan diplomats seven days to leave Mogadishu.
Information minister Osman Abukar Dubbe said Somali s Mogadishu-based government was recalling its diplomatic staff from Kenya and was giving Kenyan diplomats seven days to leave Somalia.
