Meanwhile, in Guatemala -- Honduran migrants, part of a caravan heading to the United States, clash with Guatemalan security forces in Vado Hondo, Guatemala on January 17, 2021.

Not since Woodrow Wilson was in office during the 1918 flu pandemic – which killed about 675,000 in this country and 50 million worldwide – had a president overseen the loss of so many American lives.

That total is fast approaching the 405,000 U.S. fatalities from World War II – thousands of them recorded when Harry Truman was president after Franklin Delano Roosevelt died in April 1945 – to rank as the third-deadliest event in the history of the republic. About 618,000-750,000 were killed in the Civil War of 1861-1865.

Would be funny if all the national guard suddenly take over the Capitol and declare Trump still potus on Jan 20.

I know it won’t happen but what would the politicians do next?

More than 15 different USPS locations have been were disrupted in D.C., with varying days of reopening.

D.C. will see massive street closures on Jan. 20 -- a normal security procedure for the swearing in of a U.S. president -- but this year security has been heighted to an unprecedented level with the deployment of 21,000 National Guardsmen and 5,000 active duty troops.
