Jan.6, 2021, is being described as one of the most terrifying events in American history. A violent mob of so-identified “Patriots” stormed the U.S. Capitol building to forcibly disrupt the official counting of the electoral votes. President Trump had fed them lies that the election had been stolen. They ascended on D.C. with a mob-type mentality that escalated into an outright riot because of their dissatisfaction with the election of Joe Biden. The insurrection on that day, the damage of property within the people’s house that left five dead, including a police officer whose job was to protect the senators and congressmen carrying out their duties, defies any semblance of patriotism and knocks loudly on the door of treason.
Donald Trump’s actions – inciting a radically charged-up mob to storm the capitol – is unfathomable and warrants felony charges. President Trump’s entire presidency has been built on lies and he proudly has betrayed the citizens of this country. His continued movement to “create war to win back ‘our’ country” finally has annoyed members of his own party and even his own White House staff. About time! Soon after the horrendous event, many staffers and members of his administrative team resigned denouncing Trump and his actions. Social media including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have banned him from spewing his venomous rhetoric. Twitter banned Mr. Trump forever. Yay!
As this country ushers in a new president, I am hopeful the dark clouds that settled over the United States of America the past four years will begin to brighten. The COVID-19 pandemic is still creating a bleak atmosphere, but I pray new leadership will wake us from the nightmare of the past 48 months and elevate us to an environment of hope and peace!
