When everything is exposed as a lie, the biggest liars triumph. The forces of darkness rush in to fill the void. That is the future awaiting us

In a shocking turn of events, South Koreans went to bed Monday night to the news that their unpopular president, Yoon Suk Yeol, had declared martial law over the country, only to awake on Tuesday to discover that the National Assembly—backed by crowds of citizens gathering in protest—had overruled Yoon and restored their hard-won democratic system.

By Wednesday, an uneasy calm had settled over Seoul. Yoon, who has been praised as a diplomatic wonder and staunch ally by President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, appeared to be on his way out. All of Yoon's senior aides, including his chief of staff, have resigned their posts even though the president had accepted the parliamentary demands and lifted his martial law order. Opposition parties in South Korea led by the left-liberal Democratic Party (DP) are now seeking to impeach Yoon over his actions, with the first votes scheduled for Thursday.

Yet even as the coup unravelled in full public view, the close ties between the Pentagon and Yoon's military could present a dilemma for Biden and the next Trump administration. The United States stations 28,500 troops in South Korea and a U.S. general holds operational control over the Korean Army and the U.S.-South Korean Combined Forces Command during times of war. That has led to serious strains in the bilateral alliance over the years.

I want to remind everyone that there are going to be elections next year in the US.

Local elections are very important because they will have a direct impact on you because you are choosing the people who will run your community and the people around you. Anecdotally I've heard that on the Republican side in various local governments are sometimes even more crazy than the ones at the federal level so it's really important that these people get voted out.

The process of finding out information on your local elections depends on where you live but typically you can Google/DuckDuckGo/whatever search engine you use your city name with the words 2025 election after it. Also do the same for your county and your state. Or you can checkout the article I linked for different instructions on how to find information about your local election.

Also please search for information on the primaries, these are very important because they will determine who is going to be on the ballot come election day. It could be the difference between a win or a lose in the election.

I know I'm going to be phone banking and knocking on doors. If you're going to do that may I suggest telling your friends that you're doing it and asking that they join you?

In addition when you find out information about your local election be sure to share that info with anyone like-minded and tell those people to pass the information on farther. You can post on local social media groups, make posters and signs, do whatever you can to spread awareness.

Let's make 2025 blue! We can do it together, when we unite we are strong!
