GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!
With the Blogger interface, it is getting harder to make blog posts. I am not kidding.
The way they rolled this interface out maybe the death knell for the once beloved media platform.
I am not going to lie, this is frustrating and I am going to make my postings shorter and quicker now.
We are covering the chaos at the U.S. Capitol where Trump supporters have breached the steps of the federal building. We heard that a woman was seriously injured and we got word that many of these rioters have stolen property from the offices of lawmakers. Four people were killed. The graphic image of a woman being rolled out to an ambulance was the result of the U.S. Secret Service shooting her after they gave warning to not proceed toward a protected barrier.
Another member of the Trump team resigns
President Donald J. Trump finally concedes to Joseph R. Biden II. But the damage is done and his closest allies are socially distancing themselves from his presidency.
The pandemic has killed over 400,000 Americans. The coronavirus has a daily kill rate of 5,000 a day. There are over 33 million people in the United States infected by the coronavirus. There is no end in sight. Despite Pfizer and Moderna rolling out their vaccines, the American people will not get vaccinations in 2021. It may be going into 2022.
By that time, U.S. television shows will be permanently cancelled. There will be nearly 1.4 million Americans dead. There will be possible new strains entering the country and being immune to the coronavirus.
If things don't improve, we might call ourselves and endangered species. Trust me, the United States has for the first time had a slower birth rate. Our death rate has increased significantly. Due to the coronavirus and gun violence, the country will be stalling on growth.
It appears that Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos will join Elaine Chao, Mick Mulvaney and Stephanie Grisholm.
The longest serving member of the Trump administration is resigning.
On Thursday, DeVos submitted her letter of resignation citing the president's tepid response to the mob violence at the U.S. Capitol.
The chaos at the U.S. Capitol will be possibly the last thing to add to Trump's disgraceful presidency.
They can't control Trump. |
Considered one of the most inexperienced members of the Trump team, DeVos used her Amway knowledge to education. It was a giant pyramid scheme to rollback Obama era rules.
She rolled back health eating policies in schools. She imposed bans on education and safety measures for those in the LGBTQ+ community.
In a letter addressed to Trump, she squarely laid the mayhem of the U.S. Capitol on the feet of the president. She said that appreciates the time but it's time for her to move on.
"There is no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had on the situation, and it is the inflection point for me," she wrote. "Impressionable children are watching all of this, and they are learning from us."
DeVos had distanced herself from the president since the election. She knew that Trump was stroking fire but didn't act on it.
"Mr. President, I know with certainty that history will show we were correct in our repeated urging of and support for schools reopening this year and getting all of America's students back to learning," she wrote.
DeVos has also urged the president to not allow the incoming Biden administration change her policies. She said that she wants to make a lasting effort to helping America's children.
The outgoing secretary added that, "we should be highlight your administration's many accomplishments on behalf of the American people. Instead, we are left to clean up the mess caused by violent protesters overrunning the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to undermine the people's business."
"Impressionable children," she said, "are watching all of this and they are learning from us."
DeVos is married to Dick DeVos, the former president of Amway Corp. She is the sister of Erik Prince, the founder of the military contractor Blackwater USA. She is good friends with the Grand Rapids grocer Meijer family.
Hank Meijer's son, Peter is a U.S. Representative who replaced former Republican turned independent--Libertarian lawmaker Justin Amash.
Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI) won his election and voted against certifying Biden to be the president.
