It has now been confirmed by Marvel Studio President Kevin Feige that Black Panther 2 won’t feature any CGI footage of Chadwick Boseman.
During his interview, Feige said that the sequel to the hit film will delve into other characters and the world of Wakanda.
Oh and before you think that there will be another person playing the role of T’Challa, think again. Fiege and director Ryan Coogler have said that ain’t happening.
Black Panther 2 is scheduled to be released on July 8, 2022.
Chadwick Boseman, who played T’Challa aka Black Panther, passed away last year after a bout with cancer.

Black National Anthem Would Become America’s Hymn Under Proposed Law

“To make it a National Hymn, I think, would be an act of bringing the country together. It would say to people, ‘you aren’t singing a separate National Anthem, you are singing the country’s National Hymn,” says Clyburn.

To Heal Racial Wounds, Black National Anthem Would Become America’s Hymn Under Proposed Law

In an effort to begin the healing of racial wounds U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., is proposing to make the Black national anthem or “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” America’s hymn under a new law he’s proposing.

“To make it a National Hymn, I think, would be an act of bringing the country together. It would say to people, ‘you aren’t singing a separate National Anthem, you are singing the country’s National Hymn,” says Clyburn.

The song has been an important part of African American history and is sung during graduations, school plays, church services, and Clyburn believes all communities should take part in singing the song.

Some people disagree with Clyburn and deem the song being named an American Hymn as symbolic and would do little to help race relations in America.

Clyburn drafted a four-page bill to get “Lift Every Voice and Sing” passed as the National Hymn and says it doesn’t take away from the National Anthem but will bring unity and will be recognized as an important part of American history.

Do you think “Lift Every Voice and Sing” should be recognized as the American Hymn?

Sales Of Unapologetically Ugly Crocs Soar Due To COVID

Yes Crocs aren’t the most attractive footwear out there but arguably they are the most comfortable, especially during a pandemic and It’s the comfort of the Crocs that are believed to have made sales soar.

Crocs sales growth skyrocketed in 2020 with its fourth-quarter revenue at 55 percent, up from their projections of 20 to 30 percent.

The uptick is said to be because younger, mainly female, customers gravitated toward Crocs and because they are comfortable, plastic, and easy to sanitize, perfect for the current situation.

Not to mention Crocs partnered with Post Malone, Justin Bieber, KFC, and Bad Bunny with successful campaigns that helped raise the brand’s awareness.

How To Make Fresh Herbs Last Longer

Posted by @Robinrazzi
Posted on
For the past nine months, like many of you,  I’ve gained a much deeper love and appreciation for cooking my all-time favorite meals at home. Not only am I excited about experimenting with new recipes, I absolutely LOVE incorporating fresh herbs into all my dishes as well. Trust me, it makes a world of difference. My only challenge is trying to figure out how to make my fresh herbs last longer. Recently I learned a pretty neat tip that I’d love to share.

Over the years, I’ve learned about freezing fresh herbs in ice trays and using them as needed.

Also, I’ve heard about creating some sort of compound butter and freezing it to use while cooking.

Another tip my mom shared with me is instead of placing the herbs in water, you should wrap the stems in a damp kitchen towel, place in a plastic container or wrap in plastic wrap, and then store in the fridge. The damp paper towel ensures that the herbs won’t dry out and will keep them fresh for up to 2 weeks.

But this last tip, I never would have thought of in a million years.

Try placing your fresh herbs in a freezer bag and adding a metal spoon inside before storing in the fridge. Somehow the metal helps to preserve your herbs, making them last longer than normal. Crazy, right? Well I tried it and I’m happy to report, IT WORKED!

Try it for yourself and let us know if it worked for you too.

This Month’s Paris Fashion Week Goes Totally Digital

The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode has told luxury houses they won’t be allowed to invite guests this season, after instruction by police.

Posted by @Robinrazzi

PARIS (AP) — Ending the confusion over the fate of Paris Fashion Week, French fashion’s regulatory body has said that this month’s Paris men’s and haute couture shows will be strictly audience-free over coronavirus fears.

The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode has told luxury houses they won’t be allowed to invite guests this season, after instruction by police.

In a statement to The Associated Press, the federation said Monday that “we confirm that there can be no public gatherings” at Paris Fashion Week, adding that “houses can still organize ‘real’ runway shows with models broadcast live, provided that their events take place behind closed doors.”

Although Paris is technically not in a lockdown, stringent restrictions limiting movements are in place nationwide, including a 6 p.m. or 8 p.m. curfew. Repeated failure to obey rules can lead to a six-month prison sentence.

France’s second lockdown ended Dec. 15, but restaurants, bars, cinemas, theaters and museums remain shuttered.

In respect to Milan Fashion Week, despite the best efforts of the Italian fashion council to maintain a minimum level of live shows, top brands have also opted to show their collections with no guests, journalists or photographers present.

The Lombardy region, where Milan is located, appears headed to another partial lockdown.

Fendi, Dolce&Gabbana and Etro all have said their shows won’t include guests. They were among four brands planning live shows this round. Representatives for K-way, the maker of high-end outdoor clothing that is scheduled to show, didn’t respond to requests for comment.

The Milan Fashion Week calendar from Jan. 15-19 is much scaled back from usual, with just 40 brands participating.

Rihanna And H.E.R. Invest In Black Woman-Owned Business

Rihanna and H.E.R. have stepped up to invest in a black female-owned business, Partake Foods. Forbes is reporting that Denise Woodard’s health-conscious brand was founded after the mother couldn’t find food for her daughter who suffers from food allergies.

Woodard left her corporate job at Coca-Cola to focus on Partake Foods full time. She delivered cookies and started a Kickstarter campaign and eventually received capital from several venture capital firms and JAY-Z.

Woodard’s first round of investments has closed at $4.8 million and her products can be found on Whole Foods and Target shelves nationwide.

“The demand for thoughtfully-made cookies, snacks, and treats is clear, and we are excited to continue to provide plant-based, safe, and crave-worthy foods to consumers,” says Woodard.

Dr. Dre Still in ICU Almost A Week After Brain Aneurysm

Dr. Dre is still in an ICU unit at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The Hip-Hop producer and founder of Beats Headphones were taken to the hospital last week after suffering from a brain aneurysm.

According to TMZ, doctors have been running a series of tests to determine the origin of the brain aneurysm. They’re also concerned that if Dre suffers a second aneurysm, time would be of the essence.

Dre is said to be doing well following last week’s medical scare, nearly 50 percent of those who suffer a brain aneurysm don’t survive and of those that do, they usually have permanent neurological deficits.

Do you think Dr. Dre’s medical scare will soften the war between him and his soon-to-be ex-wife?

Harris Team Blindsided By VP-Elect’s Vogue Cover

In a statement, Vogue said it went with the more informal image of Harris for the cover because the photo captured her “authentic, approachable nature, which we feel is one of the hallmarks of the Biden-Harris administration.”

Posted by @Robinrazzi

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has landed on the cover of the February issue of Vogue magazine, but her team says there’s a problem: the shot of the country’s soon-to-be No. 2 leader isn’t what both sides had agreed upon, her team says.

Instead of the powder blue power suit Harris wore for her cover shoot, the first African American woman elected vice president is instead seen in more casual attire and wearing Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers, which she sometimes wore on the campaign trail.

Harris’ team was unaware that the cover photo had been switched until images leaked late Saturday, according to a person involved in the negotiations over how Harris would be featured on the cover. Harris’ office declined comment and the person spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity.

In a statement, Vogue said it went with the more informal image of Harris for the cover because the photo captured her “authentic, approachable nature, which we feel is one of the hallmarks of the Biden-Harris administration.”

But the magazine said it released both images as digital magazine covers to “respond to the seriousness of this moment in history, and the role she has to play leading our country forward.”

Harris, who is of Jamaican and Indian descent, posed in the light blue suit in front of a gold backdrop for the magazine’s cover. She also posed, more casually dressed in slacks, a blazer and sneakers in front of a pink and green background, for photos that were planned for inside the magazine, the person said. Pink and green are the colors of Harris’ college sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha.

Vogue has released both images online, but the photo of a sneaker-clad Harris is the one that will grace the cover of the fashion bible’s print edition.

The person with knowledge of the negotiations said Harris’ team has expressed to Vogue its disappointment over the magazine’s decision.

The cover also generated outrage on social media as posters expressed disappointment in how the magazine decided to present the nation’s first female vice president on its cover.

Harris is set to be sworn in as vice president on Jan. 20.

Democrats Push To Remove President Trump

Democrats say they will proceed with an impeachment resolution against President Trump

Posted by Andrea Muñoz
Posted on

WASHINGTON (AP) — A House resolution calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke constitutional authority to remove President Donald Trump from office was blocked Monday by Republicans.

Democrats in the House are pushing Pence and the Cabinet to oust Trump, saying he is unfit for office after encouraging a protest march that turned into a mob that ransacked the U.S. Capitol in a deadly siege.

Pence has given no indication he is ready to proceed on such a course, which would involve invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, including a vote by a majority of the Cabinet to oust Trump before he leaves office on Jan. 20. Democratic President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn in on that date.

With just days left in Trump’s presidency, the House also is preparing to impeach Trump this week. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trying first to put pressure on Republicans to tell Trump it’s time to go.

Trump would face a single charge — “incitement of insurrection” — over the riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to a draft of the articles obtained by The Associated Press.

Lawmakers were set to introduce the legislation Monday, with voting mid-week.

The four-page impeachment bill draws from Trump’s own false statements about his election defeat to Biden; his pressure on state officials in Georgia to “find” him more votes; and his White House rally ahead of the Capitol siege, in which he encouraged thousands of supporters to “fight like hell” before they stormed the building on Wednesday.   A violent mob of Trump supporters overpowered police, broke through security lines and windows and rampaged through the Capitol, forcing lawmakers to scatter as they were finalizing Biden’s victory over Trump in the Electoral College.

“President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of Government,” the legislation said.  The bill from Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Ted Lieu of California, Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Jerrold Nadler of New York, said Trump threatened “the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power” and “betrayed” trust.

“He will remain a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office,” they wrote.  Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Ca., said Monday on CBS, “We need to move forward with alacrity.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the House will proceed with legislation to impeach Trump as she pushes the vice president and the Cabinet to invoke constitutional authority to force him out, warning that Trump is a threat to democracy after the deadly assault on the Capitol.

A Republican senator, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, joined Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska over the weekend in calling for Trump to “resign and go away as soon as possible.”  Lawmakers warned of the damage the president could still do before Joe Biden is inaugurated Jan. 20. Trump, holed up at the White House, was increasingly isolated after a mob rioted in the Capitol in support of his false claims of election fraud. Judges across the country, including some nominated by Trump, repeatedly dismissed cases and Attorney General William Barr, a Trump ally, said there was no sign of any widespread fraud.  “We will act with urgency, because this President represents an imminent threat,” Pelosi said in a letter late Sunday to colleagues emphasizing the need for quick action.  “The horror of the ongoing assault on our democracy perpetrated by this President is intensified and so is the immediate need for action.”

During an interview on “60 Minutes” aired Sunday, Pelosi invoked the Watergate era when Republicans in the Senate told President Richard Nixon, “It’s over.”  “That’s what has to happen now,” she said.  Pence has given no indication he would act on the 25th Amendment. If he does not, the House would move toward impeachment.

Toomey said he doubted impeachment could be done before Biden is inaugurated, even though a growing number of lawmakers say that step is necessary to ensure Trump can never hold elected office again.

“I think the president has disqualified himself from ever, certainly, serving in office again,” Toomey said. “I don’t think he is electable in any way.”

Murkowski, long exasperated with the president, told the Anchorage Daily News on Friday that Trump simply “needs to get out.” A third, Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., did not go that far, but on Sunday he warned Trump to be “very careful” in his final days in office.

On impeachment, House Democrats would likely delay for 100 days sending articles of impeachment to the Senate for trial, to allow Biden to focus on other priorities.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said that instead of coming together, Democrats want to “talk about ridiculous things like ‘Let’s impeach a president’” with just days left in office.

Still, some Republicans might be supportive.

Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse said he would take a look at any articles that the House sent over. Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a frequent Trump critic, said he would “vote the right way” if the matter were put in front of him.

The Democratic effort to stamp Trump’s presidential record — for the second time — with the indelible mark of impeachment advanced rapidly after the riot.

Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I, a leader of the House effort to draft impeachment articles accusing Trump of inciting insurrection, said Sunday that his group had 200-plus co-sponsors.

Potentially complicating Pelosi’s decision about impeachment was what it meant for Biden and the beginning of his presidency. While reiterating that he had long viewed Trump as unfit for office, Biden on Friday sidestepped a question about impeachment, saying what Congress did “is for them to decide.”

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The U.S. Justice Department says it has charged a West Virginia state lawmaker with entering a restricted area of the U.S. Capitol after he livestreamed himself with rioters. Ken Kohl is a top deputy federal prosecutor in Washington. He announced the charge against Republican Del. Derrick Evans during a call Friday in which he presented dozens of new charges against members of a mob that stormed the Capitol on Wednesday. Lawmakers from at least seven other states traveled to Washington, D.C., for demonstrations that turned violent. But it’s unknown if any other elected official joined the mob of Donald Trump supporters that attacked the U.S. Capitol.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she has spoken to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff about preventing President Donald Trump from ordering a nuclear strike in his final days in office. She said she spoke to the top general Mark Milley about “precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike.” Pelosi said he assured her longstanding safeguards are in place. Democrats are discussing whether to act quickly to impeach Trump as soon as next week. This comes after Trump encouraged loyalists who ransacked the Capitol in a siege that has left five people dead. One Republican, Kevin McCarthy the minority leader, said impeachment would be divisive.

President Trump will not attend the inauguration of Joe Biden.  Mr. Trump tweeting that declaration today.

There will be a vote on impeaching President Trump next week in the House of Representatives if Mike Pence does not invoke the 25th amendment to remove the president, this according to the assistant Speaker of the House Katherine Clark.  More than 200 Congress members have called for President Trump to be removed from office.  Maryland governor Larry Hogan has called for Mr. Trump’s removal, as has former Secretary of State Colin Powell.  Yesterday, for the first time, Mr. Trump acknowledged that a new administration will take over on January 20th.

Michelle Obama Sees Double Standard With Rioters And BLM Protestors

Former First Lady Michelle Obama says their is a double standard on how police handle black/brown protestors and white protestors.

Posted by Andrea Muñoz
Posted on

Michelle Obama’s statement on the riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6:

I woke up yesterday elated by the news of Reverend Raphael Warnock’s election victory. He’ll be Georgia’s first Black senator, and I was heartened by the idea that the Senior Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church—the home parish of Dr. King and a spiritual and organizational hub during the Civil Rights Movement—would be representing his state in the United States Senate.

In just a few hours, though, my heart had fallen harder and faster than I can remember. Like all of you, I watched as a gang—organized, violent, and mad they’d lost an election—laid siege to the United States Capitol. They set up gallows. They proudly waved the traitorous flag of the Confederacy through the halls. They desecrated the center of American government. And once authorities finally gained control of the situation, these rioters and gang members were led out of the building not in handcuffs, but free to carry on with their days. The day was a fulfillment of the wishes of an infantile and unpatriotic president who can’t handle the truth of his own failures. And the wreckage lays at the feet of a party and media apparatus that gleefully cheered him on, knowing full well the possibility of consequences like these.

I think we all know the answer. This summer’s Black Lives Matter protests were an overwhelmingly peaceful movement—our nation’s largest demonstrations ever, bringing together people of every race and class and encouraging millions to re-examine their own assumptions and behavior. And yet, in city after city, day after day, we saw peaceful protestors met with brute force. We saw cracked skulls and mass arrests, law enforcement pepper spraying its way through a peaceful demonstration for a presidential photo op.

And for those who call others unpatriotic for simply taking a knee in silent protest, for those who wonder why we need to be reminded that Black Lives Matter at all, yesterday made it painfully clear that certain Americans are, in fact, allowed to denigrate the flag and symbols of our nation. They’ve just got to look the right way.

What do all those folks have to say now?

Seeing the gulf between the responses to yesterday’s riot and this summer’s peaceful protests and the larger movement for racial justice is so painful. It hurts. And I cannot think about moving on or turning the page until we reckon with the reality of what we saw yesterday. True progress will be possible only once we acknowledge that this disconnect exists and take steps to repair it. And that also means coming to grips with the reality that millions voted for a man so obviously willing to burn our democracy down for his own ego.

I hurt for our country. And I wish I had all the solutions to make things better. I wish I had the confidence that people who know better will act like it for more than a news cycle or two. All I know is that now is a time for true patriotism. Now is the time for those who voted for this president to see the reality of what they’ve supported—and publicly and forcefully rebuke him and the actions of that mob. Now is the time for Silicon Valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior—and go even further than they have already by permanently banning this man from their platforms and putting in place policies to prevent their technology from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection. And if we have any hope of improving this nation, now is the time for swift and serious consequences for the failure of leadership that led to yesterday’s shame.  Now is the time for those who voted for this president to see the reality of what they’ve supported.

Thankfully, even in the darkness, there are glimmers of hope. It’s something I imagine Reverend Warnock has preached about before—and I’m still heartened beyond belief that he’s headed to Washington. I’m glad his fellow Georgian, Jon Ossoff is, too, and that together they’ll help give control of Congress back to the only party that’s shown that it can put our democracy above its own short-term political fortunes. I pray that every American, especially those who disagree with them, will give our new Congress, President-Elect Biden, and Vice-President-Elect Harris the chance to lead us in a better direction.

But make no mistake: The work of putting America back together, of truly repairing what is broken, isn’t the work of any individual politician or political party. It’s up to each of us to do our part. To reach out. To listen. And to hold tight to the truth and values that have always led this country forward. It will be an uncomfortable, sometimes painful process. But if we enter into it with an honest and unwavering love of our country, then maybe we can finally start to heal.

Police Officer Dies Following Capitol Riots

Capitol police officers dies.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A police officer has died from injuries suffered as President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol, a violent siege that is forcing hard questions about the defeated president’s remaining days in office and the ability of the Capitol Police to secure the area.

The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that Officer Brian D. Sicknick was injured “while physically engaging with protesters” during the Wednesday riot. He is the fifth person to die because of the Capitol protest and violence.

During struggling at the Capitol, Sicknick, 42, was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher, two law enforcement officials said. The officials could not discuss the ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

His family said in a statement Friday that Sicknick wanted to be a police officer his entire life. He served in the New Jersey Air National Guard before joining the Capitol Police in 2008.

“Many details regarding Wednesday’s events and the direct causes of Brian’s injuries remain unknown, and our family asks the public and the press to respect our wishes in not making Brian’s passing a political issue,” the family said.

The rampage that has shocked the world and left the country on edge forced the resignations of three top Capitol security officials over the failure to stop the breach. It has led lawmakers to demand a review of operations and an FBI briefing over what they called a “terrorist attack.” And it is prompting a broader reckoning over Trump’s tenure in office and what comes next for a torn nation.

One protester, a woman from California, was shot to death by Capitol Police, and there were dozens of arrests. Three other people died after “medical emergencies” related to the breach.

Despite Trump’s repeated claims of voter fraud, election officials and his own former attorney general have said there were no election problems on a scale that would change the outcome. All the states have certified their results as fair and accurate, by Republican and Democratic officials alike.

Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said news of the police officer’s death was “gut-wrenching.” “None of this should have happened,” Sasse said in a statement. “Lord, have mercy.”  Sicknick had returned to his division office after the incident and collapsed, the statement said. He was taken to a local hospital where he died late Thursday.

Two House Democrats on committees overseeing the Capitol police budgets said those responsible need to be held to answer for the “senseless” death.

“We must ensure that the mob who attacked the People’s House and those who instigated them are held fully accountable,” said Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Ct., and Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio. in a statement.

Earlier Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said any remaining day with the president in power could be “a horror show for America.” Likewise, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said the attack on the Capitol was “an insurrection against the United States, incited by the president,” and Trump must not stay in office “one day” longer.  Pelosi and Schumer called for invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution to force Trump from office before President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated on Jan. 20. Schumer said he and Pelosi tried to call Vice President Mike Pence early Thursday to discuss that option but were unable to connect with him.

At least one Republican lawmaker joined the effort. The procedure allows for the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unfit for office. The vice president then becomes acting president.

Pelosi said if the president’s Cabinet does not swiftly act, the House may proceed to impeach Trump.

Trump, who had repeatedly refused to concede the election, did so in a late Thursday video from the White House vowing a “seamless transition of power.”  Two Republicans who led efforts to challenge the election results, Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri, faced angry peers in the Senate. Cruz defended his objection to the election results as “the right thing to do” as he tried unsuccessfully to have Congress launch an investigation. In the House, Republican leaders Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California and Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana joined in the failed effort to overturn Biden’s win by objecting to the Electoral College results.

With tensions high, the Capitol shuttered and lawmakers not scheduled to return until the inauguration, an uneasy feeling of stalemate settled over a main seat of national power as Trump remained holed up at the White House.  The social media giant Facebook banned the president from its platform and Instagram for the duration of Trump’s final days in office, if not indefinitely, citing his intent to stoke unrest. Twitter had silenced him the day before.  Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said “the shocking events” make it clear Trump “intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power.”

U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, under pressure from Schumer, Pelosi and other congressional leaders, was forced to resign. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell asked for and received the resignation of the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate, Michael Stenger, effective immediately. Paul Irving, the longtime Sergeant at Arms of the House, also resigned.  Sund had defended his department’s response to the storming of the Capitol, saying officers had “acted valiantly when faced with thousands of individuals involved in violent riotous actions.”

Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser called the police response “a failure.”

Lawmakers from both parties pledged to investigate and questioned whether a lack of preparedness allowed a mob to occupy and vandalize the building. The Pentagon and Justice Department had been rebuffed when they offered assistance.  Black lawmakers, in particular, noted the way the mostly white Trump supporters were treated.

Newly elected Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., said if “we, as Black people did the same things that happened … the reaction would have been different, we would have been laid out on the ground.”  The protesters ransacked the place, taking over the House area and Senate chamber and waving Trump, American and Confederate flags. Outside, they scaled the walls and balconies.  Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., a former police chief, said it was “painfully obvious” that Capitol police “were not prepared.”

Trump Finally “Concedes” — Amid Talk of Ouster from Office

His statement came end the of a day when the cornered president stayed out of sight in the White House.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With 13 days left in his term, President Donald Trump finally bent to reality on Thursday, acknowledging his electoral defeat amid growing talk in Washington of trying to force him from office early. His statement came end the of a day when the cornered president stayed out of sight in the White House, silenced on some of his favorite internet lines of communication, while watching the resignations of several top aides, including a Cabinet secretary. As officials sifted through the aftermath of the pro-Trump mob’s siege of the U.S. Capitol, there was growing discussion Thursday of impeaching him a second time or invoking the 25th Amendment to oust him from the Oval Office.

Attack Against The U.S. Capitol

There is a lot to be upset about when we look back at yesterday’s terror attack on the U.S. Capitol.  It opened our eyes to the vulnerabilities of the buildings and the institutions in the city that should be most protected.  Yesterday they were not.  We discuss defending America against enemies… foreign and domestic and the failure to do both.

Barack Obama Calls the Attack at U.S. Capitol ‘A Moment of Great Dishonor and Shame’

Former President Barack Obama released a statement about the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
He released the statement via his social media platforms.
He wrote in part, history will rightly remember today’s violence at the Capitol incited by a sitting President as a moment of great dishonor and shame for our nation.
He continued, but we’d be kidding ourselves if we treated it as a total surprise.
As the events unfolded on Wednesday, what thoughts went through your mind? Did you have to explain it to your kids?

Doc Rivers Says Black Protestors Would Have Been Treated Worse

“That to me is a picture that’s worth 1,000 words for all of us to see and probably something for us to reckon with again,” he says. “No police dogs turned on people, no billy clubs hitting people, people peacefully being escorted out of the Capitol. So it shows that you can disperse a crowd peacefully, I guess, would be the one thing.”

After watching in horror as violence unfolded at the nation’s Capitol on Wednesday, 76ers coach Doc Rivers turned the tables on reporters by asking them a question: “Can you imagine if those were all black people?”
Answering his own question, Rivers predicted the violent protest — which ended when police used tear gas and flash bombs to disperse the crowd — would have gone down a lot differently. “That to me is a picture that’s worth 1,000 words for all of us to see and probably something for us to reckon with again,” he says. “No police dogs turned on people, no billy clubs hitting people, people peacefully being escorted out of the Capitol. So it shows that you can disperse a crowd peacefully, I guess, would be the one thing.”
Regardless of the protestors’ races, Rivers said Wednesday’s chaotic display puts the United States in an unflattering light. “It’s a sad day in a lot of ways, not good for our country, more across the borders, that people see this,” he says. “But it’s part of what we are and so we have to solve it.”
Do you agree with Rivers? Would you be embarrassed to visit a foreign country after this?

‘This Is Domestic Terrorism’: Celebs React To Capitol Riot

Cardi B: “The irony is pretty funny, weren’t people just wild animals in the summer for demanding justice and now?…… Let me just watch.” She later asked that her followers stay inside and stay safe.

Many celebrities spoke out after seeing rioters storm the White House on Wednesday (January 6th).

Cardi B: “The irony is pretty funny, weren’t people just wild animals in the summer for demanding justice and now?…… Let me just watch.” She later asked that her followers stay inside and stay safe.

“This desperate ‘man’ and his silly sheep,” wrote Issa Rae. “Embarrassing.”

“This is domestic terrorism,” wrote “The View” host Meghan McCain. “Stop calling it protesting.”

P!nk tweeted that she was “ashamed of what is happening.” Mark Ruffalo, Amber Tamblyn, and Anita Baker called for the enactment of the 25th Amendment.

Maria Shriver tweeted to Ivanka Trump, “Get your father on TV and tell him to say stop,” she wrote. “You own this. You should be ashamed.”

What were your thoughts as you saw people storming inside the White House? Should there be consciences for those who unlawfully entered into lawmakers’ offices?

Aftermath Of U.S. Capitol Riot

The election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris certified by Congress hours after the siege at the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters.

The morning after, things are calm, the rioters are gone, the National Guard and police surround the Capitol grounds, and the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris has been certified.

President Trump issued a statement saying he disagrees with certification and but that there will be a peaceful transition.  But the questions remain of how a mob of Trump supporters was allowed to storm the Capitol, overrun police, break windows, and roam the halls and offices of the Capitol.  President Trump has been accused of inciting and encouraging the rioters. Mayor Bowser says the president must be held accountable.

President-elect Joe Biden called it an insurrection.   Former Secretary of State Colin Powell called the actions of the insurgents disgraceful. Authorities found pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails on the Capitol grounds.   The Trump supporter shot and killed inside the Capitol building has been identified as Ashley Babbit of San Diego, California.  Three others died on the Capitol grounds from medical emergencies.

Mayor Bowser has issued a state of emergency for the District until January 21, the day after the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

NY Sends 1,000 National Guard troops to DC

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on Congress’ tally of the Electoral College vote won by Joe Biden (all times local):

9:10 pm.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is sending 1,000 members of the state’s National Guard to Washington, D.C., to help “the peaceful transition of presidential power.”

Cuomo, a Democrat, said 1,000 troops would be sent for up to two weeks at the request of U.S. National Guard officials. It comes after a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters rampaged through the U.S. Capitol

Cuomo said in a statement Wednesday: “For 244 years, the cornerstone of our democracy has been the peaceful transfer of power, and New York stands ready to help ensure the will of the American people is carried out, safely and decisively.”

They will join law enforcement from Virginia, Maryland and New Jersey who are also coming to D.C.’s aid.

The president’s supporters incited chaos in a protest over a transfer of power to President-elect Joe Biden. Trump convinced them that he was cheated out of a victory by rampant, widespread voter fraud, a false claim.

Some GOP Senators No Longer Plan Biden Objection

Posted by @Robinrazzi

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on Congress’ tally of the Electoral College vote won by Joe Biden (all times local):

8:55 p.m.

Multiple Republican senators have reversed course and now say they won’t object to congressional certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

Their change of heart came after a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol earlier Wednesday and interrupted their proceedings. One person was fatally shot.

Sens. Steve Daines of Montana, Mike Braun of Indiana and Kelly Loeffler of Georgia all said in light of the violence they would stand down from planned objections to Biden’s win.

Lawmakers gathered to certify the Electoral College votes from each state were forced to evacuate after an angry mob of Trump supporters descended on the Capitol. Loeffler said that the “violence, the lawlessness, and siege of the halls of Congress” were a “direct attack” on the “sanctity of the American democratic process.”

All three had previously signed on to Trump’s false claims of widespread voter fraud to explain his defeat. Loeffler has just days left in her term. She lost her Senate race to Democrat Raphael Warnock earlier Wednesday.

Two Detectives In Breonna Taylor Raid Fired

A letter informing them of their dismissal was released Wednesday.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Louisville police have fired two detectives who were involved in raid that left Breonna Taylor dead. Det. Myles Cosgrove and Det. Joshua Jaynes were fired Tuesday after receiving notification last week from the department’s interim chief that they would be dismissed. A letter informing them of their dismissal was released Wednesday. Taylor was a Black woman who was killed in March by police executing a narcotics search warrant. None of the three white officers who fired into Taylor’s home were charged by a grand jury in her death. Cosgrove and two other officers who fired into Taylor’s apartment were not charged in her death by a grand jury in September.
