Vice President JD Vance’s Visit to Kenya Officially Cancelled

The planned visit of U.S. Vice President JD Vance to Kenya has been officially cancelled due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, according to Kenya’s Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.

In a statement, Mudavadi confirmed that the decision followed President Donald Trump’s directive barring all U.S. officials from attending the upcoming G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa. Vance’s Kenya stop was tied to his participation at the summit, making the trip no longer feasible.

“The Government of the Republic of Kenya, through the Office of H.E. Dr. Musalia Mudavadi, E.G.H., Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, has been informed by the Government of the United States of America of the cancellation of the planned visit to Kenya by the Vice President, His Excellency JD Vance, which was scheduled to take place later this month,” Mudavadi stated.

Despite the cancellation, Mudavadi reassured that Kenya-U.S. relations remain strong, citing ongoing collaboration in trade and investment, security cooperation, education, health, and diaspora engagement.

“Kenya values its longstanding and strategic partnership with the United States, which continues to span key areas of mutual interest,” he added. “The Government remains confident that this development will not affect the strong and enduring ties between our two nations.”

Vance’s trip would have been the first official visit to Kenya by a high-ranking U.S. executive since President Trump’s second term began. Reports from Africa Intelligence had earlier indicated that the Vice President would arrive in Nairobi following the G20 Summit scheduled for November 22–23.

Confirming the withdrawal of the U.S. delegation from the G20, President Trump criticized South Africa’s treatment of its white minority population, describing it as a “total disgrace” in a post on Truth Social.

Tim Davie and Deborah Turness Resign After BBC’s Trump January 6 Speech Edit Scandal

The BBC has been thrown into crisis after Director-General Tim Davie and News Division Chief Deborah Turness announced their resignations following revelations that the broadcaster edited Donald Trump’s January 6 speech in a misleading way.

The controversy erupted after a segment from the BBC’s Panorama documentary appeared to splice portions of Trump’s 2021 address, creating the impression that he called directly for an insurrection. Critics say the edits distorted the original context of his remarks, damaging the network’s credibility.

In a resignation statement, Turness said the scandal had “caused unacceptable harm to the BBC’s reputation,” while Davie accepted “full responsibility for editorial misjudgment” and apologized to viewers.

The BBC has since pledged to launch an independent internal review to assess its editorial practices and restore public trust. Media analysts say the resignations mark one of the most serious leadership crises in the BBC’s modern history, renewing global discussions about journalistic ethics, media bias, and accountability.

As of Sunday evening, neither the BBC Trust nor the UK’s Ofcom regulator had issued formal findings, though officials indicated that a full investigation is underway.

The scandal serves as a powerful reminder of the role of accuracy and transparency in journalism and the damage that can result when trust is compromised.

2025 Veterans Day Rally at the National Veterans Memorial Museum – Columbus

Columbus, Ohio — The 2025 Veterans Day Rally at the National Veterans Memorial Museum, hosted by the Military Veterans’ Educational Foundation, brought together veterans, families, and community members to honor the brave men and women who have served the nation.

Carrie Killingsworth, president of Ohio MILVETS, emphasized the importance of creating meaningful connections between veterans and the community.

“A lot of people say thank you for your service, which is a lovely gesture,” Killingsworth shared. “But this rally allows for that deeper, person-to-person connection that truly honors veterans.”

Now in its second year, the event featured historical exhibits, live entertainment, guest speakers, and local food vendors, all free of charge. During the ceremony, Ohio MILVETS awarded educational scholarships to families of central Ohio service members who lost their lives in service.

Air Force veteran SMSgt Mike Dedousis highlighted the day’s importance, saying,

“This event shows how multigenerational support for veterans continues to grow. We are coming together to recognize what it means to serve our country and community.”

A standout moment was seeing ROTC cadets and students from schools across Columbus engaging with veterans, learning from their experiences, and gaining inspiration for their future.

“It’s good to honor them because some gave their lives for what they believed was right,” said Kamiya Smith from Arts Impact Middle School. “We should appreciate everyone who served.”

Organizers hope the annual Veterans Day Rally will continue to serve as a bridge between generations, strengthening community ties and providing ongoing support for Ohio veterans and their families.

Thousands of Ohio families are still waiting for their November SNAP benefits amid federal delays.

Central Ohio Mother Shares Struggles After Delayed SNAP Benefits

It’s been more than a week since Ohio’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients expected their November benefits and thousands are still waiting.

Over one million Ohioans who rely on SNAP, the federal food assistance program, remain uncertain as funding delays continue. The hold-up comes amid a federal government shutdown and ongoing legal debates over emergency food aid allocations.

Many families across Columbus and beyond are struggling to make ends meet while their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards remain empty.

Columbus resident and SNAP recipient Brooke Rickman says the delay has left her family in crisis.
“I have felt dehumanized,” Rickman said. “SNAP is the only reason my kids and I have food on the table. Now we are at a point where there is no food.”

Rickman, a working mother of three — including twins under one has relied on SNAP for more than four years. She says her benefits card was not reloaded at the start of November and she is still waiting for an update.

“As much as we hear that the payments are coming, it is not the reality for my family,” she said, adding that she’s been forced to choose between food and gas.

The delay has created a ripple effect, forcing many Ohioans to depend on community aid and food banks to feed their families. “Every dollar in my home has a purpose,” Rickman explained. “Without food benefits, everything else suffers.”

For now, she’s surviving on support from her community, hoping the issue will soon be resolved.

Ohio officials have yet to confirm when SNAP benefits will be fully restored, leaving thousands of families anxious and uncertain.

Columbus Man Dies After South Linden Stabbing, Suspect Faces Additional Charges

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A 62-year-old man has died following a stabbing incident that occurred late last month in the South Linden neighborhood of Columbus, authorities confirmed Thursday night.

The victim, identified as Charles Haynes, was found unresponsive on October 29 in the 900 block of East 20th Avenue with a stab wound to the chest, according to an affidavit from the Columbus Division of Police. Haynes was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition, where doctors reportedly indicated he was unlikely to survive.

Police have since confirmed that Haynes succumbed to his injuries on Thursday night.

Suspect Arrested, Charges Pending

Sasha I. Townsend, 35, was arrested and initially charged with felonious assault in connection with the stabbing. Police said additional charges are expected to be filed following Haynes’ death.

According to court records, Townsend allegedly gave investigators conflicting accounts of what happened. An affidavit states she was captured on audio recordings from a nearby home saying, “I asked you to stop.”

During a search of the residence, detectives reportedly found knives in the kitchen sink “as if they were just being cleaned,” along with visible traces of blood.

Townsend appeared in Franklin County Municipal Court on October 31, where a $350,000 bond was set on the felonious assault charge. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Friday at 9 a.m.

Authorities have not yet announced upgraded charges, but the investigation remains ongoing.

When Will Ohioans Receive Their SNAP Benefits? Latest Updates on November Payments
When Will Ohioans Receive Their SNAP Benefits?
Ohioans using their EBT cards may face delayed SNAP benefit payments due to the federal funding lapse and resulting administrative recalculations.

When Will Ohioans Receive Their SNAP Benefits?

Columbus, Ohio – In Ohio, approximately 1.45 million residents are currently waiting for their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, and the timeline remains uncertain.


SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) supports low-income households by providing monthly funds to purchase food. On November 1, funding for the program lapsed after the federal budget expired, including during the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.


Following legal action by the city of Columbus and other parties, a federal court ordered the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to release funds, but the deadline of November 5 was not met. Partial benefits were expected via a USDA contingency fund of over $4 billion; however, that funding has still not reached Ohio’s administering agencies.


Ohio’s governor confirmed benefits would not arrive during the first week of November. Though Ohio administers the program through the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) and local agencies, the federal delay has affected disbursements. The USDA has allowed up to 65 % of benefits to be released in November, previously capped at 50 %.
Ohio’s eligibility and benefits system will go offline on November 11 so that enrollment data for the 1.45 million recipients can be recalculated under new guidance. Once processed, files will be sent to the Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) vendor to enable payments. Funds may be issued either in a lump sum or staggered, depending on vendor scheduling.


Typically, SNAP benefits are distributed between the 2nd and 20th of each month, with issuance dates staggered by case number. In Franklin County alone, around $31 million is typically disbursed monthly; statewide totals average roughly $263.4 million. The average benefit per household is about $190.
Beneficiaries should anticipate some disruption, possibly receiving less than their full benefit, while the federal shutdown continues. The state remains committed to processing eligibility and issuing payments as soon as possible.

Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Announces Retirement

Veteran Democratic Representative Nancy Pelosi has confirmed she will not seek reelection, drawing to a close a historic four-decade tenure in Congress. She stepped away from her leadership role in 2023 but has now announced that she will also leave the House at the end of her current term.

Pelosi reflected in a video message on her deep connection to San Francisco, stating that among all her titles none has meant more than “standing on the House floor and saying: I speak for the people of San Francisco.” She added: “I will not be seeking reelection to Congress. With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative.” Her message to her home city: “San Francisco, know your power. We have made history, we have made progress, we have always led the way. And now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.”

Though she relinquished her speakership in early 2023, Pelosi remained in Congress in a reduced role, helping to guide the Democratic Party’s transition and mentor younger leaders like Hakeem Jeffries. Her ability to operate behind the scenes while adjusting to a lighter personal schedule speaks to her enduring influence.

Pelosi’s legacy is widely acknowledged. In the words of Hakeem Jeffries, she is “an iconic, legendary, transformational figure.” Yet her long tenure also drew criticism for concentrating power and slowing the advancement of younger Democrats. On the personal front, the intensity of her public service imposed a toll: in late 2022 her husband suffered a hammer attack in their San Francisco home, and the couple decided she would step back from leadership thereafter.

In announcing her departure, she delivered a final plea for bipartisan commitment: “American democracy is majestic, but it is fragile. Many of us here have witnessed its fragility firsthand tragically, in this chamber. And so, democracy must be forever defended from forces that wish it harm.”
