Rioters Storm The US Capitol Building
On January 6th, 2020, as the House of Representatives met to discuss the possible certification of Joe Biden's victory as the 46th President of the United States, a crowd of President Donald Trump's supporters gathered outside the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. Helicopters flew overhead as rioters chanted phrases such as, "Traitors, traitors, traitors!", "We will not submit!" and "USA! USA! USA!". The gatherers were seen climbing into the federal building through a window, climbing the walls and, later, took pictures of themselves in what is believed to be Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi's office. The U.S Representatives that were meeting at the time barricaded themselves in the House floor. Republican Representative Ken Buck was quoted in saying during an interview with ABC7 News, "It's hard to believe that this is happening in America". Democratic Senator Joe Manchin informed, also in an interview with ABC7, "We'll get this job done."

Day Of The Trump Zombies
As a proud Independent I've always said I am so because I'm not dumb enough to be a Democrat and too smart to be a Republican. These days, I add to it, that I'm too smart, too patriotic and principled to be a Republican. On this day, as the body count from the COVID-19 virus rises past .25 million, all of those lost lives demand the truth be told. That truth is that they are all victims of the mass murder plot hatched by Donald J. Trump as part of his role as an agent in place for Russia's Vladimir Putin.

To The People In The Capitol Building
I'm growing tired. The deeper we get into this thing called life it almost seems the worse off we are. Our nation is more divided than it has ever been in my time on this Earth. I, for one, am repulsed. I have never witnessed such atrocities. We were made to accept filthy liars as the leaders of our country. We were made to feel alone in everything during COVID19. Now we are made to watch the double standards of America ring whole heartedly true.

DOMESTIC TERRORISTS
This is disgusting and outrageous. Criminals and terrorists have stormed the House. They trespass on a federal building and threatened the welfare of elected officials, who were in the process of certifying the newly elected president and vice-president. This was atrocious first because such criminal behavior was incited and called for by the man in the White House. A man who wants to be a dictator, -just as those he admires the likes of Putin and Kim Jung Un-, he told his followers to march to the capital and take control, but in a peaceful way.

Josh Hawley has always been awful.
When Josh Hawley announced that he planned to challenge Joe Biden’s victory on the Senate floor on January 6th, It was the first time many Americans were aware of Missouri’s junior Senator. He even got ahead of long time liberal boogieman Ted Cruz in his bid to undermine democracy to boost his own profile. As a resident of Missouri I can tell you, this is nothing new, he’s always been awful.
