Washington (CNN) — Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday urged Americans to avoid the city during President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration next week and to participate virtually following last week's deadly domestic terror attack on the US Capitol.

Meanwhile, the National Guard has plans to have up to 15,000 National Guard troops to meet current and future requests for the inauguration, Gen. Daniel Hokanson, the chief of the National Guard Bureau, said Monday. The dramatic increase in troops comes as law enforcement in the nation's capital and around the country brace for further extremist violence amid the transition of power.

Speaking at a news conference Monday, Bowser, a Democrat, stressed that she was concerned about more violent actors potentially coming to the city in the run-up to the inauguration, saying, "if I'm scared of anything, it's for our democracy, because we have very extreme factions in our country that are armed and dangerous."

Bowser has to get her lime light in. Never let a crisis go to waste.

Yep. Huge fires burning, business looted, etc. and not a peep about the “mostly peaceful” protest.

They are scared that MAGA will be there to protest the fake inauguration and outnumber the 30-40 prostitutes there to service the chicom delegation.

If they go, they should just do a giant sit-in. Passive resistance. Singing “We Shall Overcome” would be a nice touch.

Well... we will know eventually won’t we.

the news and everything is either off or no way telling what is going on and no way telling the truth. In times like this, you are on your own.

You have not lived in a coup? or a war?.. you think it’s crazy? you think we will go on forever in peace and harmony?

What you don’t know keeps you from seeing what might be happening.
under last president... he wanted globalism..so does biden.
but if they are going to sell America, they want all the money they can get. how about 400 million? they both would sell their first born for control and all that money.

they were ready to take over America.... we do stand in the way of globalism..... with Italy making deals with barry and china in the mix paying for things they have no business having..comey and barry and et al... were in the mix.

hillary would be elected and they could finalize the deal.. in her time... but... Trump!

they went bonkers over what we did... voting for Trump. .. and today they are after us also.

Here we are in another election and they didn’t win it..they took it.. and if Trump does nothing, there will never be another election.
All the protections the founding fathers put in for us.. failed! under biden we would be ruled by their iron fist... and you got a small taste of it last week... your job and your healthcare would be if you obeyed and took it ....

So, Trump... who is not timid and not apt to walk away from us and let them have it. He is also a very intelligent man used to a fight if needed.

He took care of the ones in Italy... and they went to the vatican. do you know there is a child selling ring going on in this country and all in the upper layer are or have been involved.. including the Vatican. Including our elite politicians. will the people be bothered at all if they know their heroes were using children?

The only way you can get any “news” is to hunt for it and cipher it . they are shutting down all who say what they don’t want said.

I could go on... enough.... God bless our country one more time and God bless Donald Trump...keep him and his family safe!

Bowser already had her “Kent State Moment” last week, when a Capitol Hill (Cop? Congresscritter?) murdered unarmed Ashli Bobbit without NG involvement.

One never knows what another day will bring.

But on this day, we do know that your sources are bogus nonsense.

Grow up.

The 15,000 troops are NOT for any inaugural protests but are needed to put down the murder-record-setting crimes of SE and NE DC by the “brothers from unknown mothers” (i.e, the DC Amish led by Harrison Ford, of the Ohio Amish).

Bowwow as the “Great Black Hope” of DC but turned out to be a pure Democrat hack and Trump hater. Nothing new but “she could have been a contender”. Now all she’ll ever remembered as a “coal tender” - shoveling black racist mentalities and criminal excuses on the struggling black masses who are being decimated by uncontrolled criminal gangs and psychopathic-streetwalking killers.

If you can have a quiet life, practice your faith, educate your kids and grand kids, and keep everyone safe from violent death, you’ll have achieved a great victory.

Amen!

BTW, it doesn’t matter what Biden does now. Donald Trump is my president for the next 4 years. I hope the Donald holds his own inauguration ceremony.

if you can muster the act of kindness, I’d appreciate it. you don’t have to read anything... so take a bit of your own words... and give some courtesy to others on here.

Respect... the lack of... is not becoming.
