Hillary Clinton has been blindsided and this has fired her up

The Clinton campaign predicted a WikiLeaks intervention, but the new FBI probe has taken them by surprise.

 

Hillary Clinton at a rally

Her email scandal has delivered an 11th hour gift to her opponent and critics.

There was a celebrity distraction on show on Saturday night - Jennifer Lopez offering a rallying cry to Latino voters and millennials who Mrs Clinton needs.

As J-Lo and her dancers dazzled the soaked crowd, Mrs Clinton's been busy with her own bit of political choreography, trying to turn the focus of the FBI review into a rallying cry against her opponent.

Her campaign is at war with James Comey, too. They predicted a WikiLeaks intervention, but this unexpected review from the FBI blindsided them.

Video: Director of FBI made 'huge blunder' over Clinton emails

Hillary is in attack mode. She will ultimately bear responsibility for whatever happened to her emails, but she is now sharing the stage with Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin.

What it does mean is the spotlight has shifted from Donald Trump. Republican strategists tell me if he can remain disciplined and resist the propensity to tweet in the early hours, there is plenty of political capital to be made.

But in the crowd, Mrs Clinton's abuse seems more fired up than I have seen for some time. There is anger, resentment. Some say that as volunteers they feel even more driven about getting Mrs Clinton to the White House.The drip, drip of emails, they say, does not whiff of suspicion, but a partisan play.

The content of the emails is unlikely to be known before the election. It is understood the FBI director does not even have the legal authority to read them yet. But in the absence of facts, the potential damage is impossible to assess.

Ah! You Robbed God?

Ah! You Robbed God?

 I'm not a preacher, please, but i have to tell you this, perhaps you don't know the danger of what you're doing. Somewhere in the Holy Bible in Malachi 3: 7-10 you will see what is written there.

                                                                      

Some of the effects of robbing God:

1. unsteady jobs/business/contracts

2. ill-health

3. failure in exams

4. unnecessary bills

5. invasion by armed robbers

6. closed doors of favours

Chai! this is terrible...if you rob God, your family will not be at peace.

Kenyan man pours hot water on wife's private parts

Kenyan man pours hot water on wife's private parts 

A 30-year-old woman, Catherine Wakere, from Kianamu Village in Embu County, Kenya, is nursing serious burns on her thighs and private parts after her husband poured hot water on her.

She was taken to Siakago Level Four Hospital last Wednesday, two weeks after the attack. Her upper right thigh and her private parts had started developing infections when she was taken to the hospital.

 

According to the hospital’s Nursing Officer Secinta Nyaga, the woman was only taken to hospital when a neighbour learnt of the cruel assault. Ms Wakere said her husband, Charles Njiru, 36, had without any provocation, poured boiling water on her. Around 11am on that fateful day, she was heating water for him when he suddenly grabbed a bowl, scooped the water and threw it on her thighs and private parts.

"He just scooped water that was boiling and splashed it on my thighs. He had aimed at my private parts, which were partly scalded," she said.

Ms Nyaga said the wound had deteriorated due to the lengthy stay without medication but her condition has since improved.

"Hers is a case of gender violence, which we reported to the police before treating her. The wound was in a very bad state since it appeared to have stayed for two weeks without being treated. If it was a fresh would it would have healed. She is now in a stable condition." she said.

 

Ms Wakere’s left thigh also bears another scar of a healed burn injury while she has two broken fingers, all said to have been inflicted by the husband. She had also told doctors that her fingers broke when she fell.

The hospital has also alerted the Children's Department to take care of the victim's children, a two-year-old girl and a boy, seven. Her mother, Daisy Muthoni, who is looking after her in hospital, said she was afraid of visiting her daughter’s home due to the cruelty of her husband.

News of the assault caused uproar among women leaders in Embu, with county assembly gender committee chairperson Peninah Mutua calling on police to crack down on perpetrators of gender violence. Mbeere North Assistant County Commissioner, Benjamin Birech said the man has been arrested and will be taken to court once his wife files an official complaint. He said the woman had reported being repeatedly beaten up and sexually harassed by the man.

"We will charge him with causing grievous harm. She says that the man beats her regularly. He is reported to be a habitual user of bhang and miraa," said Mr Birech, adding that the man could have been under the influence of drugs when he poured hot water on his wife."
