SENDING THE CLOWNS

Since the US House Republican-led show isn't going well, they sent in the clowns, in other words, let's try these jokes. 

The show's best-known and Sondheim's biggest hit song was almost an afterthought, written several days before the start of tryouts.

it means to act stupidly to make other people laugh: to clown around when all hope is gone. Some folks always want to know, when listening to a song, what the end is going to be, so "Send in the Clowns" didn't settle in until the end is near, "Don't bother, they're here",

Let it be, and so it goes can always sum up lots of significant answers for me and everyone who cares to feel, think, and just be.

If our friends are not inviting us to a party, let them. If the person that we are attracted to is not interested in a relationship with commitment, let them. If one of our family members does not want to include us in their WhatsApp chats or come to see us whenever we are in town, just let them be. So to review… Too much time and energy is wasted on wondering why other people do not match our expectations.

“Texas Hold 'Em”s 19.2 million official streams and 39,000 sales through February 15 didn't just take it to number one on Billboard's country music charts...
It made Beyoncé the first Black or known biracial woman to top those charts. “16 Carriages,” with 10.3 million streams and 14,000 sales as of February 20, came in at number 9 on the charts. Which, not that anyone is really counting at this point, also means another record for Beyoncé: being the first Black or known biracial woman with both a #1 and another song in the top 10 on the country music charts simultaneously.
