JOE BIDEN’S victory in November’s US presidential election was finally confirmed by Congress today, but only after riots on Capitol Hill that saw the House of Representatives invaded and left four Trump supporters dead.
Despite commentators describing the chaotic scenes as “a fascist coup,” US President Donald Trump eventually backed down after having fuelled the protests for weeks amid unsubstantiated claims he was deprived a landslide victory due to electoral fraud.
In a three-paragraph statement today, he finally conceded that there will be “an orderly transition” of power on January 20 when Mr Biden is sworn in as the next president.

President Trump: Declassify Everything. Everything.
@toddstarnes Dec 11 At this point @realDonaldTrump should declassify everything. Everything. @realDonaldTrump Dec 12 I have been doing this. I agree!
A few sources claim President Trump will do a great declassification of documents before leaving office. This would be excellent, but must be started immediately.
The president should use his final days in office to strike blows against the ‘deep state,’ corrupt Democrats, foreign enemies, and all who have endangered our national security and domestic liberties. In other words, declassify far more than has been to date.
The president should declassify and publicly release everything possible within these categories as well as release all such non-classified information that is currently unknown to the public. This should become the highest priority in the White House through January 20.
