“Mom, tell me about Civil War 2.”
Well, honey, we held a rich white man accountable for his actions and he was too emotional to handle it so he told his friends to murder us.
The Confederate Flag has breached the Capital, something it failed to do even in the Civil War. This isn’t a protest, this is a coup, an attack on the state, and an attack on the very heart of democracy. I have never seen anything so un-American.
Even in the Civil War the Capitol building wasn’t breached.
Republicans object to Arizona s results Follow Us
Question of the Day By Alex Swoyer - The Washington Times - Wednesday, January 6, 2021
Republicans in Congress on Wednesday objected to the results of the November election out of Arizona, making it the first state to see a GOP protest against the 2020 results.
Rep. Paul Gosar, Arizona Republican, and Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, objected to the electoral votes out of the swing-state, where President-elect Joseph R. Biden defeated President Trump.
Mr. Trump has urged Republicans to object to the several states where he says there was election fraud. It takes one member of the House and one member of the Senate to successfully protest a state’s electors, leading the chambers to debate the issue for up to two hours.
The unprecedented scene saw lawmakers with gas masks huddling in the locked House and Senate chambers with aides while demonstrators pounded on the doors and roamed the halls of the Capitol unchallenged.
In the House chamber, plain-clothes officers with guns drawn barricaded the doors with furniture and pointed their weapons through broken windows at rioters trying to get inside. Officers told the trapped lawmakers to lay down on the floor until the danger had passed.
After several hours of clashes and lawlessness, national guard troops from the District, Virginia and Maryland were called in to restore order. District Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered a citywide curfew from 6 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday.
Army Gen. Gustave Perna said 20 million doses have been delivered to 13,000 locations throughout the country. The plan is to continue a “steady drumbeat” of allocation so states can prepare for distribution, he said.
Only 4.8 million doses have actually been administered, however, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tracker.
Officials say there is a reporting lag. Mr. Azar also pointed to a slowdown around the winter holiday and said that nursing homes are gaining momentum in their push to inoculate residents and staff.
The federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said health care workers and people in long-term care facilities should get the first round of shots, followed by people 75 and older and certain front-line workers.
However, the pick rebuffs civil rights leaders who called for Mr. Biden to address issues of diversity and racial injustice by selecting a person of color to be America’s top cop.
Judge Garland, who is White, does not come into the job with the social justice advocacy resume of others who were considered for the position.
Candidates with fuller social justice resumes included outgoing Sen. Doug Jones, Alabama Democrat, who, while serving as a U.S. attorney, convicted Ku Klux Klan members of bombing a Black church.
Another candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, who is Black, oversaw the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, which enforces federal anti-discrimination laws.
