TODAY is May 10, 2026, and it's the second Sunday in May when Americans traditionally celebrate and honor mothers. This isn't the news I expected to hear first thing on Mother's Day, but … I can't pass it by. I gotta say something!
NEWS FLASH! The current North Korean Leader (what's his name) has amended the country's Constitution, and it now states that if he is assassinated, “a nuclear strike is mandated”.
Uh huh. Well! That settles the matter, doesn't it?
🠊Dear Mr. NK Leader (whatever your name is),
Do you not read history? You do realize when you're dead, PEOPLE DON'T GOTTA DO WHAT YOU SAY? You're dead! And if they don't carry out your wishes or orders … AIN'T NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!
Let me give you an example.
- There was once a king. Some guy they called Herod the Great.) He knew people didn't really like him. He also knew he was dying. So to ENSURE that there was mourning when he died, he ordered that several prominent “beloved” and “respected” leaders in another community … be put to death. That way … there will be great mourning in the land. (Even if it's not for him.)
HE DIED!
Do you know what his sister did? She told the people who were supposed to kill the other people NOT TO DO IT!
The Jewish historian Josephus recorded that Salome, Herod's sister, was one of the most powerful figures in Herod’s court, and she repeatedly “influenced Herod’s decisions”.
INFLUENCED? NOT THIS TIME!!
He is so great, but his sister ignored him? She didn't just ignore him. SHE COUNTERMAINDED HIS AUTHORITY!
Some accounts state her actions euphemistically and use words like:
- After Herod's death, Salome issued commands to the military, released political prisoners, and nullified the king’s final decree
Nullified? That sounds much nicer.
🠊So! Mr. North Korean Leader.
YOU DO KNOW that the Constitution in almost every country that has one … is “highly flexible”?
Seeing as how you had no problems changing the words in North Korea's constitution, those who come behind might not have any problems changing them back.
Just saying.

P.S. There were many leaders named Herod in history. This "particular Herod" is known for killing a lot of his family members. But NOT his sister. Evidently, he trusted her. Also, he didn't view her as a competitor for his throne. Actually, she was never a queen. But it looks like that didn't matter. If only he had known that you don't need to have a throne to wield power.
The North Korean leader is always 'in character”. It figures he would try to end the world the same day HE ENDED.
