Story of my Uncle Alexander Kimakia.
After living in the United States for over 40 years, Uncle Alexander Kimakia, at the age of 70, finally relocated back to Kenya this year, settling in his mega 5-bedroom house at Mushroom Gardens Estate along Kiambu Road, a project that took him nearly 10 years to complete.
Now in Kenya and in his house, Uncle Alexander Kimakia lives in the living room of the house downstairs while his caretaker lives upstairs in his huge master bedroom.
This is because Uncle Alexander Kimakia cannot climb the stairs without the help of another person.
Even with help, it takes him 10 minutes to make the climb.
As such, Uncle Alexander Kimakia has decided to stay downstairs in the living room as all 5 bedrooms are upstairs.
The house has a living room, toilet and kitchen downstairs; 3 rooms on the first floor and another 2 rooms (including the master bedroom) on the second/last floor.
This is surely not how Uncle Alexander Kimakia anticipated his retirement.
But that is the reality of his journey.
This will be the life of many other Africans living abroad and building mansions back home.
In fact, if you are building a dream house for yourself to live in and the house is not ready by the time you attain the age of 50, forget about it!
Uncle Alexander Kimakia virtually wasted 40 years of his life doing menial jobs abroad, hoping to go and retire back home in his mansion and enjoy life.
But, now he has no life to enjoy and someone else is sleeping in his master bedroom.
Like most aged persons, Uncle Alexander Kimakia is not even able to enjoy a bottle of Malt because it will shoot up his blood sugar level. And he can't drive his Range Rover! It's rotting in the garage!
Yet, he said he was working hard all his life in order to enjoy life, which includes eating and drinking the finest foods and drinks, when he retires.
Now, he is only able to eat fruit and vegetable salads - and even that, without dressing!
He cannot even eat any of the fine meats out there without his cholesterol sending warning signs.
That is the life of Uncle Alexander Kimakia in retirement.
This will be the story of more than half of us. The best thing to do is to take mini-retirements now and enjoy.

The next President of USA!
JON OSSOFF JUST LAID OUT THE WHOLE SCAM IN GEORGIA — AND IT'S BIGGER THAN ONE DEAL.
At his closing rally in Morrow, Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff walked through it deal by deal. Georgia is listening: he leads Mike Collins 55-40 in the latest poll, and 2.2 million Georgians have already voted.
While Donald cuts a diesel deal with Vladimir Putin — 300,000 tons now, 500,000 in November, a million more after that, while diesel sits at $6.33 a gallon for American farmers and truckers — his own son-in-law Jared Kushner and his envoy Steve Witkoff are brokering the sale of Lukoil's $20-22 billion in international oil fields, refineries and gas stations to the first family's friends.
The buyers, as Jon Ossoff named them: Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE's spy chief, who paid $500 million for half of the Trump-Witkoff crypto company days before the inauguration. Moutaz and Ramez Al-Khayyat, the Syrian-born brothers financing Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's multi-billion-dollar Albanian resort. And billionaire Todd Boehly leading the consortium. The United States government itself would take a 15% stake — through the same government that is supposed to approve the deal.
Then Marco Rubio: his State Department helped steer up to $1.6 billion in taxpayer backing to the Trump sons' tungsten mine in Kazakhstan — the company's own chief executive says it got 'direct assistance' from Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Howard Lutnick.
Then Pete Hegseth's Pentagon: a $620 million loan to Vulcan Elements, the magnet company Donald Trump Jr.'s fund invested in three months earlier — the biggest loan that Pentagon office ever gave. And Venezuelan oil money routed through Qatari bank accounts — $500 million in the first sale alone, more than $13 billion taken in by late July.
And Elon Musk? Apartheid Clyde is one of these elites. He spent $475 million buying this election, his companies took $10 billion more in federal contracts since he left DOGE, and his Tesla paid ZERO in federal income taxes on $5.7 billion in U.S. profits. That's why he tells poor people America will end if his side loses. It has nothing to do with them. They are just the infantry for an oligarchy waiting to happen.
This is not a presidency. This is the biggest Ponzi scam in American history — and it is a national security danger, because the men running the State Department, the Pentagon and the negotiating table are cutting resource deals for the family while you pay $6.33 for diesel.
So hear Jon Ossoff's closing line, and hear it like it's real: Raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God, in front of the United States Congress? Because next year, that's where this ends. 1 day. EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.

At some point, his judgement has to be called into question.
He can't get anything right and his party is riddled with sex offenders and racists.
Will any mainstream journalists ask the questions?

I first said this a long time ago, but I’ll repeat it tonight…
Six months after Trump is gone, finding a Republican who admits to having supported him will be like trying to find Nazis in 1946 Germany.
The story goes that Marcus Aurelius, The then Roman Emperor, hired an assistant to follow him as he walked through the Roman towns square. The assistant’s only role was to, whenever Marcus Aurelius was praised, whisper in his ear, "You’re just a man. You’re just a man".
Respice post te. Hominem memento te"
They say two things define us. Our patience when we have nothing and our humility when we have everything.
