Thousands of National Guardsmen were asked to vacate the Capitol after being on duty for about two weeks following the incident on January 6. Many of them went to a nearby parking garage that had limited resources and cold temperatures, sleeping in the cold and on the ground. They had just one electrical outlet and a single bathroom for about 5,000 of them according to a report on Politico. The stranded National Guardsmen were eventually let back into the Capitol, but that wasn’t until after lawmakers complained about the situation and the poor conditions. It was the Capitol Police who…
President Joe Biden’s first day might have been filled with excitement, but then one Congresswoman tried to put a dent in it. It was the often criticized Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene who introduced articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden. She accused him of corruption pertaining to an alleged “quid pro quo” incident in the Ukraine. Her complaint also mentions Hunter Biden and money transfers. Greene, who has been fact checked for pushing over ten false claims in the last month alone, is going after President Joe Biden on just his first full day as president. Congresswoman Greene had previously…
President Joe Biden is off to a stern start as he informed new government employees that he will fire them on the spot if they are disrespecting colleagues and/or co-workers.

Biden’s comments to his staff were made during a swearing-in ceremony that was held virtually. There was several hundred new government employees being sworn in and they received the message loud and clear.…

President Donald Trump might be sailing off on his own without a big military parade farewell. A recent report from a top Defense blog has stated that two senior defense officials have confirmed the Pentagon has no military farewell being planned for Trump. The president has instead planned his own sendoff ceremony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPq_qVUzbAg Part of this situation might be due to President Trump stating he was not attending the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. Several reports suggest Trump and his family might leave for Florida that day. If Trump is not there, then it would be difficult to provide him…

West Virginia Democratic Senator, Joe Manchin, is now suggesting that the Senate take into consideration the 14th Amendment and remove both Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley following their objection to the Electoral College vote that secured the 2020 election victory for now President-elect Joe Biden. Manchin was interviewed on an episode of “Firing Line” on PBS where he’s quoted as saying that it “should be a consideration” for the two Republican senators to be removed. Manchin called Cruz and Hawley’s behavior “totally unconscionable” and that made him suggest the 14th Amendment be used. Manchin is likely referring to the…
Fox News took quite a ratings dive when they landed in third place behind CNN and MSNBC. This is reportedly the first time since all the way back in September of 2000 that Fox News has been behind both of the opposing networks in viewership. The Fox News ratings slump took place over a three day period starting on January 6 and ending on January 8th. There is speculation this might be due to the events that happened at the Capitol on January 6th, with many people tuning into the other networks to see live coverage of the incident that…

Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and friend of President Donald Trump, was seen at the White House this week. As he left the Oval Office, a photographer grabbed a shot of him and readers can see Lindell was carrying some paper with writing on them. Internet users zoomed in to see what they could find, and it appears to be suggestions on how the president can still try to overturn the election, despite Donald Trump losing both the election and most of his legal challenges.

Incoming president, Joe Biden, has revealed the framework of a new relief plan and it certainly includes stimulus checks. The plan, set to cost about $1.9 trillion, also has more support for unemployment benefits, and much more.

Biden’s proposed relief plan is named the “American Rescue Plan” and is geared toward helping families and businesses maintain and sustain their livelihood for the time being, something many Americans needed, despite being sent stimulus checks for…
President Donald Trump has allegedly informed his aides to stop paying legal fees to attorney Rudy Giuliani, who was acting as the president’s personal attorney. This comes months after President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election and their legal challenges in court, to essentially flip the election results one way or another, have been dismissed numerous times by various courts. The amount of legal challenges has fallen and Trump may no longer need Giuliani’s assistance. This comes to light as President Donald Trump begins to accept his defeat and call for peace and easing the tensions leading up to the…
