It’s been a rough couple of months, but I’m done grieving now, and I’m ready to get back in the fight.  But first, a brief celebration is in order.  Let’s reflect on four extraordinary years, ponder for a few minutes what President Donald Trump has accomplished, and consider what the alternative could have been.

Officials in Washington, D.C., are bracing for clashes in the streets Wednesday as thousands of pro-Trump supporters arrive to protest the presidential election and cheer on challenges of the Electoral College in Congress.

President Donald Trump in several tweets has called his supporters to gather in the country’s capital for “wild” protests, sparking fears of trouble between proponents and critics of the president.

Three groups have submitted permits to the National Parks Service (NPS) to hold demonstrations Tuesday and Wednesday, calling on Congress to move toward overturning the election in Trump’s favor.
