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. Six 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.

It appears that in the final nine days of Donald J. Trump's presidency, it appears that his acting Homeland Security Secretary is resigning.

Acting Homeland Security Chad Wolf submitted his letter of resignation. He did not specifically note the chaos at the U.S. Capitol, but cited that his time working with the president is over.

"I am saddened to take this step, as it was my intention to serve the Department until the end of this Administration. Unfortunately, this action is warranted by recent events, including the ongoing and meritless court rulings regarding the validity of my authority as Acting Secretary. These events and concerns increasingly serves to divert attention and resources away from the important work of the Department in this critical time of a transition of power," he said in a statement.

Wolf had trouble getting confirmed by the Senate was one of the contributing factors to why he decided that he wasn't able to complete the term.

Wolf was a bigot. He was willing to deport migrants who fled chaos in their country for the freedoms of the United States. Alas, no one wants to come the United States. 

With the coronavirus pandemic ravaging across the country and the president's inability to govern, people are very skeptical of their safety upon entry.

Wolf also was a failure in Operation Warp Speed. The Trump administration's slow approach to combating the coronavirus has been a major failure. We have over 400,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccine rollout is a complete disaster. It may take years for the pandemic to wind down.

He couldn't control Trump.

Wolf also dropped the ball on far-right extremism. 

Under pressure, Wolf was trying to classify Antifa as a domestic terrorist group and Black Lives Matter as a potentially violent group. The president, Vice President Mike Pence, several Republicans and Wolf seriously believe that Antifa is the bigger threat than the Proud Boys, the Boogaloo Boys, the Klan and lone wolf extremists.

Trump's incitement of an insurrection had led Congress to draft Articles of Impeachment again.

Trump could be the first president to be impeached twice while in office. The Democrats have urged Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin have talked about it. So far, it appears that the White House cabinet will not agree to an immediate removal. 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that if Pence fails to take control of the office, then the leaders of the House will draft an article for inciting an insurrection. 

Wolf did condemn the president for the actions of Wednesday.

"What transpired was tragic and sickening. While have consistently condemned political violence on both sides of the aisle, specifically violence directed at law enforcement, we now see some supporters of the president using violence as a means to achieve political ends."

Trump has appointed Pete Gaynor as the acting Homeland Security secretary.
