What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, January 6th, 2025. It’s been 4 years since that dreadful anniversary of the Jan 6th insurrection attack on the Capitol in Washington D.C. by those terrorists, in the #MAGAcult. It was very difficult for the Capitol Police, and even some police officers succumbed to their injuries. Jan 6th is not a day of celebration, and the FBI + DOJ must continues to send these individuals to prison for attempting to hijack a federal building. We have a few weeks until the new United States President (47th), which we are unsure who it will be, since Trump might be ineligible for being a pedophile, an Al Capone mobster whom cannot seem to be sent to prison for mob behavior but could go to prison for tax evasion. He did #TrumpRussia and he blackmailed the US with Nuclear Secrets, including lots of dabblings with Elon Musk and Neuralink. They amassed lots of funding doing insider-trading with that technology. Looks like VANCE might be President, and who is going to be the VP?
