I volunteer with the Red Cross and we received notification this afternoon to be on call for a “national event”. What this means is they are preparing for a “possible event” in connection with the inauguration, so that they could have national disaster teams respond within 3 days.

We received similar national calls last year in connection with hurricanes and the mid west flooding that occurred, and local alerts for several severe weather situations.

Thanks for the report, Grammy.
And pinging others to your post.

Not only has the Red Cross been put on alert, but also the military and police departments across the country. An additional 4,000 National guard were activated just for DC.

This is unprecedented.

So was the PRIVATE meeting between the President-elect, Vice-President-elect, and SCOTUS, Only twice before have SCOTUS met with the new White House administration, but never have they had a meeting ib January and so close to Inauguration, and a private one as well.

The $64,000 question is, "Did Chief Justice Roberts tell Obama that he is in deep sh*t? Or did they have some kind of "agreement" that lets Obama slide home free?"

My money is still on Bambi's early retirement from politics.
