Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has acknowledged the challenges that lie ahead for Joe Biden when he will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States on Wednesday, saying it is not going to be easy.
In his first remarks on the Senate floor since the Capitol attack, Republican leader Mitch McConnell gave his most vocal condemnation yet of the violence that broke out two weeks ago and led to five deaths.
DustBoss Atom designed for precision applications
Peoria, Illinois-based BossTek says its new DustBoss Atom has been engineered to provide an unmatched level of mobility and performance, delivering effective dust and particle suppression for new and existing applications.
With a throw of 100 feet (30 meters), the Atom’s adjustable elevation angle and user-defined oscillation allow precise aiming of a powerful dust-capturing mist comprised of millions of droplets per minute in the 50-to-200-microns range, which BossTek says is “proven to be the most efficient size for most project needs.”
The company describes the DustBoss Atom as “a true innovation in mobile dust suppression: a fan-less, self-contained design that incorporates remote control and 4G LTE telematics technologies as standard equipment to deliver an unprecedented combination of suppression and monitoring.”

Portuguese American actor Tom Hanks will host a 90-minute “Celebrating America” primetime television special on January 20, for the inauguration of Joe Biden as President and Kamala Harris as Vice-President of the United States. The ceremony will be held on the West Front of the US Capitol.
Tom Hanks is just one of the few Portuguese Americans invited for the inaugural ceremony. Other Portuguese Americans present include the five re-elected politicians who served previous administrations. They are Jim Costa; Devin Nunes, David Valadão, Lori Loureiro Trahan, and Patrick Toomey.
Except for Lori Loureiro Trahan, who is a Democrat congresswoman of Massachusetts, and congressman Jim Costa a Democrat of California, the other legislators of Portuguese descent are all Republicans who served under the Trump Administration not without consequence.
