I don’t give a s**t if you don’t like the guy. Comparatively speaking, Barack Obama was fu***ng awesome, and his election filled many with hope that America wasn’t irrevocably fu**ed. And yet, for four years, America was ever so fu**ed. And then they weren’t. And then here we fu***ng go again.

--On This Day in History S**t Went Down: November 4, 2008--

First, we need to talk about Jeri Ryan, who many know as “Seven of Nine” in the Star Trek franchise, and her unwillingness to take her husband’s s**t. Wait, what? Yeah, she played a significant if indirect role in the election of Barack Obama.

Back in 2004, Jeri’s ex-husband, Jack Ryan, was a likely winner for election in the Illinois senate race. But then Jack’s divorce records were made public, revealing that he’d pressured Jeri to have public s*x in various swingers’ clubs. But resistance is not futile, and Jeri said f**k that noise and divorced him instead. Jack denied the allegations but dropped out of the race a few days later and was replaced by the unexciting MSNBC host Alan Keyes. Obama, who had only been a state senator up to that point, annihilated Keyes in the election and became senator, and then four years later became the Democrat nominee to be president, narrowly beating Hillary Clinton.

The 2008 election was the war hero supporting the war in Iraq that had been going on for five years vs. a man opposing the war who proclaimed a need for change in Washington. McCain was hindered by being tied to George Bush, and a lot of people were sick of eight years of Republicans in power, especially since the economy imploded right before the election. I don’t think Sarah Palin as a VP choice did McCain any favors either.

Conversely, a lot of people were wondering if a Black man could win the presidency in the United States of Racist America. When Obama did win by a wide margin on November 4, 2008, many were elated. They felt this represented a hopeful future for their country. The massive attendance at Obama’s inauguration was a love fest. His supporters were overjoyed.

Of course, there was a substantial portion of the American population that was just fu***ng seething over the Obama victory. How dare a Black man occupy the White House? The Tea Party, aka the American Taliban, became a thing only a month after President Obama assumed office, and Republicans made every effort to block Obama’s policies no matter what they were. For eight years the racism festered like an infected wound, becoming a major contributor to the election of the blatantly racist and vocal Obama critic Donald Trump to the presidency in 2016.

Those who cannot remember the past need a history teacher who says “f**k” a lot. Get both volumes of “On This Day in History S**t Went Down” at JamesFell.com/books. The holidays are coming and they make great gifts.

Eulogy for The Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga

(A Tribute to the Shining Prince of the Kenyan People-PARAPHRASED from OSSIE DAVIES EULOGY OF MALCOLM X)

Here, at this sorrowful moment, under the weight of memory and love, Kenya weeps the loss of one of her most cherished sons — lost now, but eternally so.".

For it was here in Kenya that he dreamed and here in Kenya that he fought. It was in our streets that he marched, in our prisons that he suffered, and in our hearts that he planted the seeds of hope and courage. This is his altar — her people his prayer.

And so it is fitting, deeply fitting, that we convene here — as children of the earth he loved — to whisper his name for the final time, not in grief alone, but in gratitude.

For never, in the annals of our nation, has there been a spirit more determined, more unbreakable, more committed to the cause of freedom than Raila Amolo Odinga — our leader, our brother, our conscience.

He was a man of unshakable resilience — who endured injustice without surrendering, who was jailed but never silenced, who was mocked yet never lost faith in his people. He stood his ground where truth beckoned him, even when the ground beneath his feet trembled.Unbowed, unyielding and unbwogable.

And yes, there were a few who underestimated him. There will always be a few who grumble that he was too stubborn, too restless, too dashing,too divisive and even compromising. And we shall smile — for we knew him.

We knew his laughter, his warmth, his passionate love for this nation — for fishermen of Nyanza, farmers of Rift Valley, workers of Nairobi, herders of Turkana, mothers of Mombasa. He had Kenya in his heart — all of it — and all of us.

Raila was our courage — our very living, breathing courage. When he spoke, he reminded us of who we are. When he stood, we stood taller. When he fell, we rose again — because he had taught us that freedom must be lived for, and, if need be, died for.

And in thanking him, we thank the very best of us — that unbreakable spirit that refuses to yield to tyranny or lose hope, no matter how black the night.

Years ago, he proclaimed, "Kenya is worth the struggle." And he made it happen — again and again — with the persistence of one who knew that the arc of history bends, however gradually, toward justice.

This day we mourn not only a man, but a seed — a seed of courage, of faith, of unshakeable belief that Kenya can, and ought to, do better.

And when the rains of our weeping have washed away, and the sun of our recovery rises, that seed will bloom — in all these young idealists who have the courage to tell the truth, in all these mothers who instruct their child to hope, in all these Kenyans who are not willing to lose.

Then we will know him once more, not in the flesh, but in the spirit — shining and endless — our own black gleaming Prince, our Raila, who did not shy away from struggle, from pain, from death itself — because he loved us so.

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: 9 June 2025
Subject: Call for Resignation and Investigation Following the Custodial Death of Blogger Albert Ojwang
The brutal murder of blogger Albert Ojwang while in police custody is a national outrage and a gross violation of fundamental human rights. The fact that this occurred following a complaint made by none other than the Deputy Inspector-General of Police not only deepens public concern but also raises disturbing questions about the abuse of state power and personal vendettas disguised as law enforcement.
This tragic incident is not an isolated case of police misconduct. It is a glaring indictment of the entire police leadership, which has for too long presided over a culture of impunity, brutality, and disregard for constitutional safeguards.
In light of these developments:
• The Inspector-General of Police must take full political responsibility and resign with immediate effect.
• The two Deputy Inspector-Generals must also step down, as their continued presence in office undermines any hope of impartiality or justice.
• The Deputy Inspector-General who lodged the complaint against Mr. Ojwang must be compelled to record a formal statement and subjected to an independent, credible investigation.
This matter cannot be swept under the rug. The Kenyan public demands accountability, transparency, and justice. The life of Albert Ojwang mattered, and his death must not be in vain.
We call upon Parliament, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), and all relevant agencies to act swiftly and decisively.
Justice for Albert Ojwang. Accountability for all.

Signed,
Kennedy Murunga

Ten Lessons from The Art of War by Sun Tzu:

1. Know yourself and your enemy. This is the first principle of warfare, and it is essential for success.

2. Engage only on your terms. Don't fight a battle that you cannot win.

3. Use deception to your advantage. Keep your enemy guessing and off balance.

4. Be flexible and adaptable. Don't be afraid to change your plans if the situation demands it.

5. Strike at the enemy's weakness. Don't waste your time and resources attacking their strengths.

6. Use surprise to your advantage. Catch your enemy off guard and they will be more likely to lose.

7. Conserve your strength. Don't waste your resources on unnecessary battles.

8. Be patient and persistent. Don't give up easily, even if you are losing.

9. Use your intelligence and cunning. Don't rely on brute force to win.

10. Win without fighting. This is the highest form of victory.

These are just a few of the many lessons that can be learned from The Art of War. If you are interested in learning more about the art of war, I recommend reading the book.

I hope this helps!
