WASHINGTON (AP) — The fencing around the U.S. Capitol is back up for the president’s State of the Union address on Tuesday. Police cars with flashing lights are stationed at major intersections and highways. The U.S. National Guard is on standby.
It’s the new normal.
While there are no specific or credible threats related to President Joe Biden’s speech, law enforcement officials are taking no chances following the events of Jan. 6, 2021, when a violent mob caught the District of Columbia by surprise and successfully stormed the U.S. Capitol, briefly disrupting the certification of Biden’s 2020 presidential victory.
Since then, the U.S. Capitol Police, charged with protecting lawmakers and anyone else in and around the Capitol, has beefed up security for planned protests in the area. And this time, officials are also preparing for trucker convoys that are planning protests against pandemic restrictions beginning this week, though officials aren’t concerned about serious security issues with the possible protests.

This is very sad for America. Our government would like being in China, better. I hope they make it.
Guarded fence are good now!
Only Washington politicians are afforded a wall of protection from ‘might be’ a threat. But Citizens cannot have a wall on the border to protect us. Hypocrisy runs very deep in this administration...and the separation of the have of the elites and have nots to the general public.
Is this America or Rasputin USSR?I hate the effin EVIL COMMUNIST POS RATS!! Throw in the RINOS in there too!
President Retard is afraid of the truckers 🤪
The only violent mob on Jan 6 was the Capitol Police and the undercover Feds there.
typical Presstitute
That’s kind of what squatters do . . .
Washington DC has NO self-awareness WHATSOEVER.
Politicians who need barbed-wire, walls and military - to separate themselves from the masses - to give a SPEECH, speaks volumes.
Is Russia going to Invade?
These people need boogeymen, because THEY ARE the boogeyman.

An American government that fears its on people by its very nature is illegitimate.
This is what people who stole an election do. If the Democrats had won the election fairly you would not be seeing any of his behavior. The leftists are afraid and are doing everything to break us down, censor us, and keep their shaky grip on power secure.
They found 81 million ballots marked for Biden. Why so afraid?
What is the U.S. National Guard?
BTTT
Drop Kinzinger over Moscow, a win-win.
