The pair will speak in one part of a series of events organized by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats in 'solemn observance' for the officers who died protecting the Capitol from the rioters.Although it is unknown what the pair will say Thursday, Biden has repeatedly condemned the rioters who breached the Capitol while Congress was certifying the 2020 presidential election and has referred to the insurrection as a 'dark day' in American history.
As the anniversary of the Capitol Hill riot from January 6 approaches, the media have ramped up their efforts to remind us about that day. Every Sunday show featured someone involved with the U.S. Capitol. While "Fox News Sunday" spoke with chief of U.S. Capitol Police, Thomas Manger, who took on such a role in July. The other shows featured members from the select committee on January 6, including Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Liz Cheney (R-WY), and Bennie Thompson (D-MS).

There should be no more 'circling back' to a prior topic in the new year, according to Lake Superior State University's influential annual list of banned words.The work term, a modern alternative to 'I'll get back to you on that', has been used frequently by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki over the past year, as she repeatedly dodged questions from reporters.Her overuse of the term has led to several conservative memes and even a rap song compiling all the times she has uttered the phrase.But the term 'treats colloquy like an ice skating rink as if we must circle back to a prior subject,'
On January 3rd, 2020, President Trump exacted revenge for the many American and Iraqi soldiers and civilians killed by Iran’s notorious Quds Force when he killed Iranian General Soleimani via drone.While the targeting killing of the thuggish IRGC commander was much cheered by those in American and around the world that remember Iran’s depredations in the region, many Iraqis were less pleased by it, tied as they are (through organizations like the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMFs/PMUs) and harbor resentment about it to this day.They’re now protesting us and threatening to burn down the American embassy in Iraq on the anniversary of Soleimani’s killing.
Frequent consumers of news may be aware of Gallup's annual poll measuring the "most admired man" in America which is typically announced a few days before New Year's. The poll was done yearly from 1946 through 2020, with 1976 the only year that was skipped. NewsBusters pointed out a year ago that liberal news media lost interest in the annual poll after Donald Trump started edging out Barack Obama for first place, whereas the networks previously enjoyed using the survey to embarrassing Trump as sitting President failing to come in first place.
This year, a Google search conspicuously shows no sign that Gallup conducted such a poll

Anderson warned of Donald Trump supporters in the military while calling them a threat from within, and advised them to stop listening to 'The Pillow Guy' - Trump ally and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

'There's a threat within,' the retired general told the network. 'We've got some people that just haven’t been educated. They haven't been found out, and they've grown in power,

her party faces 'bloodbath' in 2022, conveys 'weakness' 34 replies
Recently ousted Democratic Nassau County (N.Y.) Executive Laura Curran told "Watters' World" on Saturday that her party is conveying weakness and faces a "bloodbath" in the 2022 midterms if it doesn't step up.
LAURA CURRAN: Unfortunately, my party, the Democratic Party, just conveys weakness right now. It almost feels like elder abuse with what's going on with President Biden. He has a hard time putting a sentence together. I think everyone gets nervous listening to him talk, he's going to mess up. What we need always, and especially now, is someone who exudes confidence and competence. Someone who sets a reassuring tone.

Airline executives are sounding louder alarms about the impending rollout of 5G service, warning that the cellphone frequencies could lead to 350,000 delays each year by jamming their in-flight systems.
