Tomorrow Will Be a Shameful Day

Friends,

Before I post my Sunday cartoon I want to share with you some thoughts about tomorrow.

The day on which we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday will also be one of the darkest and most shameful days in the history of this nation, when the man who attempted a coup against the United States will be sworn in for the second time as president

Protesters descend on Washington ahead of inauguration

The People's March, a feminist-led progressive movement, kicked off on Saturday with tens of thousands of attendees as Washington, D.C., braces for a frigid presidential inauguration.

While the cold may deter some protesters from President-elect Donald Trump's second inauguration ceremony, which has been moved into the Capitol Rotunda, law enforcement and organizers told ABC News that several protests and major events are still planned throughout the weekend.

There have been colder inaugurations than this one. One president even caught cold at his, and never recovered. He died in office, never having really served at all. Along with everything else, Trump is a wuss. Or maybe what he's really afraid of is another tiny crowd like the one in his first term, in the mall that Obama filled to overflowing.

Trump signs the first executive orders of his new administration

Donald Trump began signing a slew of executive orders soon after taking the oath as president Monday, looking to quickly implement his agenda, with his plans including declaring a national emergency on the U.S.-Mexico border, ordering construction on his border wall to resume, and terminating diversity programs in federal agencies.

The first order he signed before a crowd at the Capital One Arena revoked approximately 80 executive actions that had been signed by former President Joe Biden. Another he signed was a freeze on new regulations, as well as a hiring freeze on federal workers. He also withdrew — again — from the Paris climate treaty.

Tennessee Republican proposes amendment to allow Trump to serve third term

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

Ogles proposed an amendment on Thursday that says, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”

Omar: Democrats attending Trump’s inauguration ‘sends the wrong message’

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) argued that Democrats who attended President Trump’s Inauguration on Monday were sending the “wrong message.”

Omar joined CNN’s “The Source” on Thursday evening and was asked by host Kaitlan Collins about the number of Democrats who attended Trump’s swearing-in ceremony, instead of skipping the event.

Trump Cancels Black History Month at Federal Agency, Whistleblower Lawyer Reports

Mark Zaid, the D.C. attorney known for handling cases regarding national security, security clearances, government investigations, freedom of speech claims and whistleblowing, responded to President Donald Trump‘s order not merely to cut all DEI initiatives in the federal government, but also demanding that all federal employees expose any colleague who remains involved with DEI-type programs in federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and NASA.

[NOTE: “We are aware of efforts by some in government,” said Trump administration emails sent to government employees, according to NBC News, “to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language.]

Trump fires all 3 Democrats on privacy oversight board

President Trump on Monday fired all three Democrats on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), bringing much of its work to a standstill.

The move guts a board designed to ensure the government’s work to fight terrorism is balanced with protections for civil liberties.

Look at the difference at how Biden's team ran The DOJ when they were in charge & how Trump's Team is currently running The DOJ these creeps don't don't care.

DOJ sues Illinois, Chicago over ‘sanctuary city’ laws

President Trump’s Justice Department sued the state of Illinois, the city of Chicago and local officials Thursday over laws creating a sanctuary city.

Accusing the officials of impeding federal immigration enforcement efforts, the Justice Department asked a judge to declare the state and local measures unconstitutional because of the federal government’s supremacy.

The Nation EU vs. US or People vs. Billionaires?

On January 16, four days before Donald Trump’s inauguration, two things happened that, taken together, are grounds for considerable optimism.

The first was a complaint filed under the new Protecting Americans’ Data from Foreign Adversaries Act, which outlaws the transfer of sale of “personally identifiable sensitive data of a United States individual” to any foreign adversary or adversary-controlled entity.

Yup. The real struggle is against the tendency for oligarchs to buy off political institutions. Always has been, always will be.
