Driving into DC
Tuesday morning January 5, 2021 I was struck by a couple things as I drove into the DC Metro Area: 1. The wealth, and 2. Residents dutifully wearing masks and staying six feet apart.
After briefly stopping at George Washington’s Mount Vernon, I noticed our founding forefather’s estate seemed modest in comparison to many suburban DC homes. Regarding masks, everyone in DC proper seemed to be wearing masks and keeping their six foot distance like obedient subjects of a dictitorial King…that is, until a millon or so Trump supporters arrived.
Who were these Trump supporters? Most of them 50+ year old patriots (both men and women) who wanted to conserve an America of old for their children and grandchildren.

Excellent article...I was there
The citizens of The United States won a glorious victory on Wednesday!
The coward politicians ran like chickens!
They didn’t have the guts to face American citizens because the politicians knew they were doing wrong certifying a crooked election.
The entire world saw these coward politicians run!
God Bless!
I saw two confederate flags, one being part of a Q flag. From the top of the hill at the monument, all of those flags fluttering in the stiff ( COLD!) breeze was an amazing sight to see. It actually brought a tear to my eye.
Yep! Did you see the video of Lindsey Graham cowering away from Trump supporters in the Airport. He deserves everything he gets.
Yep.
He needs to come on television and apologize to the American citizens for trying to certify a crooked election and then running like a chicken.
Then he should resign.
