Today is Jan 6, a day that will live in infamy.
To remind us of that day in 2020, it looks like Winter Storm Blair is taking a direct aim at DC, where Congress will meet to certify the results of the 2024 election.
The skies will look ominous as 10-13 inches of snow will fall in DC and its suburbs overnight and into the afternoon. Temperatures will remain frigid accompanied by high winds for the rest of the week.
The Federal Government is closed due to inclement weather.
President Biden penned an Opinion piece to remind people of Jan 6 and to make sure we do not let the forces of darkness whitewash it.
From www.washingtonpost.com/…
Joe Biden: What Americans should remember about Jan. 6 Four years ago, our democracy was put to the test — and prevailed. Thousands of rioters crossed the National Mall and climbed the Capitol walls, smashing windows and kicking down doors. Just blocks away, a bomb was found near the location of the incoming vice president, threatening her life. Law enforcement officials were beaten, dragged, knocked unconscious and stomped upon. Some police officers ultimately died as a result. An unrelenting effort has been underway to rewrite — even erase — the history of that day. To tell us we didn’t see what we all saw with our own eyes. To dismiss concerns about it as some kind of partisan obsession. To explain it away as a protest that just got out of hand. We cannot allow the truth to be lost. And we should commit to remembering Jan. 6, 2021, every year. To remember it as a day when our democracy was put to the test and prevailed. To remember that democracy — even in America — is never guaranteed.
Nature is not happy with where we are, how we got here and where we are headed. And neither should we be. Let’s regroup, resist the destruction that trump and his billionaire cronies will inflict on the nation and plan to win the House and Senate in 2026.
