In Case You Missed It NTVUganda has added Looking back at President Museveni's 34 year presidency video: Looking back at President Museveni's 34 year presidency On January 26, this year, President Yoweri Museveni made 34 years in power. On the world stage, this makes him the 6th longest serving elected head of state. His longevity in power has been underscored by relative peace in the country, after the army defeated a record number of rebel groups. However, others believe that this long stay in power is not good for the country’s democratic credentials.

Oracle Chairman bribed Senator Lindsey Graham during TikTok take over by Oracle: Larry Ellison Photographer: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg By BLOOMBERG Oracle Chairman Donated to Lindsey Graham PAC During TikTok Deal October 17, 2020... Oracle Corp. chairman and founder Larry Ellison donated $250,000 to a super PAC supporting Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina on Sept.14, the same day his company announced it was chosen as TikTok’s U.S. trusted technology provider, a Federal Election Commission filing shows. The Security Is Strength PAC has purchased ads in support of Graham’s current re-election bid for the Senate, said The Verge, which first reported on the donation. Graham has expressed support for finding an American company to buy TikTok’s U.S. operation instead of banning the popular social media app, although it is unclear how much direct influence the senator has in arranging the deal. After President Donald Trump signed off TikTok’s deal with Oracle and Walmart Inc. on Sept.19, Graham tweeted it was a great decision. Graham is in a tough race as he seeks for a fourth term in the Senate, running against Democrat hopeful Jaime Harrison, who raised $57 million in the third quarter, more than double the amount Graham raised. Graham’s campaign didn’t respond to a request for comment from The Verge Friday evening.

(AP Photo/Lucy Nicholson, File) ARLINGTON, Te...xas (AP) Nikki McKibbin, a singer from Texas best known for her third place finish in the first season of American Idol, has died. She was 42. McKibbin’s husband, Craig Sadler, confirmed her death in a Facebook post, saying that she had died after suffering a brain aneurysm on Wednesday and was taken off life support early Sunday. Her husband did not say where she died. McKibbin's son, Tristen Langley, told The New York Times that his mother died in Arlington, Texas. She was so loved that I know thousands of you will be grieving with us, Sadler said. She loved so many of you and I know you loved her too. McKibbin appeared on American Idol in 2002, when the show started and became an instant hit. A 23-year-old from Grand Prairie, Texas, McKibbin impressed the judges with soulful performances of songs by Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks and a stirring cover of Alanna Myles’ song Black Velvet. McKibbin finished third on the show that year, behind Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson, who won the competition. Gracious in defeat, McKibbin tearfully hugged her fellow contestants when she was voted out in 2002. "What an incredible journey this has been, McKibbin said before leaving the stage. Just to know that so many people support me and enjoy what I do means more than anything in the world. The often acid-tongued Simon Cowell was equally gracious. "Reality check: Out of 10,000 people, you are third. This is not a time for tears, he told McKibbin. ``You’ve got a career ahead of you. In a statement, American Idol sent its condolences to McKibbin's family and friends. Nikki McKibbin was an incredible talent and we are deeply saddened by the news of her passing, the TV show said in a statement posted on Twitter. She was part of our American Idol family and will be truly missed. --- RSS https://feedx.net https://feedx.xyz
