As a child, I learned the nursery rhyme - Chicken Little – you know, ‘the sky is falling’. Well, yesterday it seemed to be coming true. The Capital building in Washington, in the United States of America, the country right next to Canada, the most powerful country in the world, was under attack by an angry mob of Americans, in a case of ‘armed insurrection’. An angry mob, led by a defiant US President, Donald Trump, over his and their belief that he won the US Election, won fairly and unequivocally by Joe Biden. Wow! In 2020, unheard of! But, then again, so was Covid-19!
There are cries – Invoke the 25th Amendment (the amendment to the US Constitution that calls for the immediate removal from office for an unfit President). President Trump, and his angry mob, have just thirteen more days, in which to try to take any action they see fit. A lot can happen in thirteen days, and, don’t forget that he has vowed to Never Concede! President Elect, Biden, was on TV this afternoon, and after decrying yesterday’s attack, he made it very clear, while nominating the new leaders of the US Justice Department, that they were not ‘his’ members (in contrast to Trump). He was obviously trying to unify the US – a heady task. Well, as usual – Time will tell . One thing's for sure, the current President will go down in history! Please be careful . . . Stay safe, stay well, remember your mask, stay physically distanced, wash your hands frequently, get some fresh air if you can, and keep smiling . . . Hang in there – the Pandemic won’t last forever . . . ‘til we meet again . . .
