President Trump is About to be the First to be Impeached for a Second Time
It appears President Trump is about to be the first to be impeached for the second time as The Washington Post reports that House Democrats, which just formally introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump, have lined up the votes to impeach him for his role in "inciting an insurrectionist mob" to storm the Capitol.
“We actually have the votes,” Rep. David Cicilline, the Rhode Island Democrat who has taken the lead in rounding up support for a resolution of impeachment, told The Washington Post.
“There’s no doubt about that.”
FINAL DRAFT of article of impeachment against President Trump, titled "Incitement of Insurrection." The article is expected to be introduced Monday by Reps. Ciciline, Lieu, and Raskin, and has more than 200 Democratic co-sponsors.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell circulated memo among fellow Republicans which said that impeachment trial could start on January 20 at the earliest - when President-elect Joe Biden is to be sworn in. The Senate will not reconvene for substantive business until January 19, which is the day that it would likely receive the article of impeachment after it is passed by the House of Representatives. By rule, the Senate could only start an impeachment trial the day after it agrees to receive the articles of impeachment by the House of Representatives.
Pelosi told 60 Minutes on Sunday that she wants impeachment for Donald Trump so he can't run for office in the future.

Professor Ravi Gupta, a Cambridge University microbiologist, fears there is a risk that mutations will "chip away" at the efficacy of the current crop of vaccines as they build up, The Daily Mail reported. The vaccines we have now should work against the current virus, he said, but they should be kept updated with new variants in case it mutates so much that they stop working. If the effectiveness of a vaccine is too low there is a higher risk that people will get infected despite having had a jab.Major variations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus — which causes COVID — have emerged in England, South Africa and Brazil over the past month. All of them contain changes on the spike protein, which is tar
By January 20, there will be well over 700 miles of Trumps 800 remaining miles of boarder wall funded and the contract's have already been awarded. Now Biden seeks to reverse these contracts at huge expense to the American tax payer. Attempts to halt construction completely, as Biden promised, will prove difficult, particularly if the Biden administration insists on cancelling contracts that have already been struck. "They could terminate those contracts if they want to, but that's going to be a very lengthy, messy process," acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan."We're going to have to go into settlement agreements with each individual contractor," Morgan added, notin

Biden's team are living in fear and have hired a company called Showcall Security Services to help out with the inauguration in January. The company scored a $7.5 million contract for the job. According to TMZ a division of Showcall, named Checkmate, is what'll be deployed here -- and a glance at their specialties shows why they cost a pretty penny. Checkmate boasts "temporary deployable security assets" that create "hardened perimeters," which can stop vehicle-borne threats and attempted weapons hand-offs of people who get past checkpoints.This is not the behavior of a President that has nothing to hide. What are they all so afraid of? What did they do that got them so scared?
