Capitol Police were momentarily stunned Wednesday when vandals broke into the U.S. Capitol building following a Trump rally. They'd never seen a conservative riot before. The rioters ran down to the Rotunda and put back up all the statues of the Democrats who once belonged to the Klan.
The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives debated objections to the election on Wednesday night, capping the scariest day in the Capitol history. No one there will ever forget it. Mid-afternoon, Nancy Pelosi announced from under her office sofa we've decided not to get rid of the police after all.
Fox News had cameras stationed all over the halls of Congress as the rioters broke into the building and Member offices. One of the protestors was photographed enjoying himself in Nancy Pelosi's office. There is always one person in the sacking party who has a nose for the liquor cabinet.
President Trump found himself in a new impeachment storm on Sunday with no social media platform available to him. Big Tech in Silicon Valley wants Trump to stop causing problems. So Friday they kicked him off Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, leaving him with just the nuclear codes.
Joe Biden stumbled all over the facts of the World War II bombing of Dresden Friday while trying to compare Trump's tweets to Nazi radio propaganda. Trump won't be there to hear Joe Biden deliver his Inaugural Address next week but he'll have company. Biden won't be there either.
Joe Biden decided not to have an Inaugural parade following his swearing-in. In one week, the House, the Senate and the White House will all be in Democratic hands. I'm not saying that conservatives are screwed, but some of us may be forced to change our preferred personal pronouns.
Michelle Obama urged the Big Tech companies to ban Donald Trump permanently from all social media. Her husband Barack, in his presidential farewell address four years ago, declared there is much more that unites us as Americans than divides us as Americans. Well she showed HIM!
Newsweek reported that the chaos in Washington last week caused widespread fears that 2021 was going to be worse than 2020 after the New Year got off to a morbid start last week. First to die was actress Tanya Roberts, then Tommy Lasorda, then Freedom of Speech. It always goes in threes.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi was graphic on CBS 60 Minutes Sunday in describing the mayhem and terror in the Capitol during the riot. This was not the first time the Capitol has been attacked. One time the zombies stormed into a session of Congress at suppertime and they all nearly starved to death.
President Trump was accused by Democrats of using the word Patriots as code for permission to commit right-wing violence. The word now gets you flagged. The New England Patriots just changed their name so it'll be less offensive and now they'll be known as the New England Redskins.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the conservative platform Parler was dropped by Google and Amazon, leaving conservatives no social media of their own. The anti-trust suits were filed on Monday. Apple insists it allows for the expression of all political views, Left, Center Left and Far Left.
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel weighed in on President Trump's getting removed from Twitter Monday. She said she considers it a free speech issue. It's a sure sign that Twitter is on the wrong side of history when the Germans think your policy of silencing people has gone too far.
All I can say is, thank God President Trump brought so many U.S. troops home from around the world. We need them for the Inauguration.
Congress stepped up Capitol security Thursday following their impeachment vote and with the Inauguration ceremony coming up there. The next day, the U.S. Capitol building was completely surrounded by concertina barbed wire, which makes you wonder if Trump won after all. He locked them up!
The Washington Post noted that Washington, D.C. was beginning to look more like a U.S. Army base than the nation's capital. Twenty thousand National Guard troops will be on hand for Joe Biden's inauguration. This alleviates the fear Democrats have that no one shows up for a Biden event.
