Martial Law
I just fell asleep when my son came in the room excited saying, "Dad we are under martial law." I told him, "go to sleep. It will all work out in the morning." Then he showed me pictures of tanks in front of his school that his friends posted. He said, "It's serious. They are gonna censor out media and try to draft me.
He started to cry saying, "I have one more year of high school to finish. They can't send me to the army now." This order for martial law came right in the middle of final exams. None of the students could study. They stayed up all night worried while the national assembly members were given warning if they meet they will all be arrested.
The President was trying to save his own ass. He didn't save anything and will be impeached and probably arrested anyway. This is not 1979. This is 2024. A president cannot secretly declare martial law to take over the government. Everybody in the world knows about it. The martial law failed and was called off because no one agreed with him except for maybe his shaman. His own party is voting to impeach him now. I was a little worried about democracy in action here, but it has proven that if democracy is on the hearts of the people then proper law will preside over the nation.
Anyway, I have some clown songs to celebrate world leaders who think it is still 1979.
Send in the Clowns - sung by Bing Crosby
Afro Circus - Sung by Chris Rock and Danny Jacobs
The death of a clown - The kinks
Let's all drink to the death of a clown.
I hope you are enjoying your week.
