Story of the Year 2024
“Hail to the Cling”
Still desperately seeking someone, anyone to support his cling to power, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu continued to cling to the hope that he could deftly navigate his way through politics at home enroute to dragging out what can only be described as the longest one-sided military expedition in the history of war. Meanwhile, in America, Joe Biden’s bid to cling to power for just one more term dragged on until even his staunchest supporters could no longer forget all his gaffs and apparent symptoms of cognitive decline. Alas, he clung on too long, allowing Donald “By the Grace of God, Divinely Right” Trump to make America a Kingdom again. The list goes on with India’s PM Narendra Modi white knuckling (despite knuckling down on opposition) his way to a 3rd term. Vladimir Putin beheading all legitimate opposition parties and cruising to an unpresidented[sic] 6th term and his 25th year as Russia’s Head of State. Not so bad when you consider only the Russian Tsar Ivan the Terrible ruled the Rus longer than that. And then there was Canada. Oh Canada!
