Recently the citizens of Kenya stormed their Parliament to protest a controversial tax bill
The protesters entered the building and torched parts of the structure as police responded shooting to kill
The cost of living in Kenya has spiraled upwards in recent years
As with most governments what was promised during election campaigns always disappears
The bill causing this uproar, aimed squarely at the everyday expenses, seemed to stick painfully in the citizen’s craw
Feeling like they’re fleeced enough by the ever encroaching government, the citizens looked at this bill like the last straw
Just last month Washington designated Kenya as a “major non-NATO ally” roughly meaning you get a spiffy new t-shirt
But you’re on your own when you need help and your country has a crisis to avert
So this “major non-NATO ally” is now trying to force new taxes to pay off the national debt held in IOUs to China and the World Bank
Ignoring the basic needs of its citizens as the country’s economy circles the bowl, perhaps the Kenyans have President Biden to thank
They have seen the newscasts of the violence, the protest at our Capitol, and the continual failings of our own weak-kneed figurehead
But the Kenyan government seemed determined to pass the bill and then flee in underground tunnels leaving many rioters injured and dead
Diplomats from around the world in measured indignation stated they were “shocked” by the unrest
The eyes of the world are suddenly on Kenya as this proposed bill kicked the proverbial hornets’ nest
The government cannot let the protesters win as that would become a worldwide blueprint
When other countries fed up with supporting the political class take the hint
Biden and his corps of top-notch negotiators weren’t asked to step in and help cool this boiling point
Knowing he would have exploited one of the self-serving policies he used before on the world stage and to most citizens serve only to disappoint
Rubber-stamping the royalty quirks of the ruling class giving a thumbs up to all pro government partisan decisions
That led to the chaos in the United States leading from quiet frustration to uproar and political divisions
But by taking matters into their own hands when the elected official turns out to be just another lying political louse
The Kenyan citizens determined the best course of action is “burning down the house”
