On the fifth anniversary of Jan. 6, 2021, there is no official event to memorialize what happened that day, when the mob made its way down Pennsylvania Avenue, battled police at the Capitol barricades and stormed inside, as lawmakers fled. The political parties refuse to agree to a shared history of the events, which were broadcast around the globe. And the official plaque honoring the police who defended the Capitol has never been hung.
Five years ago outside the White House, the outgoing President Donald Trump told a crowd of his supporters to head to the Capitol and I'll be there with you in protest as Congress was affirming the 2020 election victory for Democrat Joe Biden. A short time later, the world watched as the seat of U.S. power descended into chaos, and democracy hung in the balance. On the fifth anniversary of Jan. 6, 2021, there is no official event to memorialize what happened that day, when the mob made its way down Pennsylvania Avenue, battled police at the Capitol barricades and stormed inside, as lawmakers fled.
A lot of times they'll say, I wish Mike were tougher.' He's tough. He's tough as anybody in the room, actually. But can't be tough when you have a majority of three and now, sadly, a little bit less than that. But, you can't be Trump. You can't, I want you!' You know, you make 10 enemies, 20 enemies. That's the end of that, right?

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was all smiles aboard Air Force One on Sunday as he posed with President Donald Trump and the Make Iran Great Again hat signed by the commander in chief. The South Carolina lawmaker shared the photo on social media on Monday morning, the day after he hitched a ride on the presidential plane to Washington, D.C., after Trump's holiday vacation in Mar-a-Lago. Another great day with @POTUS who has brought America back, stronger than ever, at home and abroad, Graham wrote in the X post.
I met the dude at [a] dinner with his wife, who was genuinely a wonderful person and he was thinking of moving to Los Angeles and being a movie producer, Allen said. Really? an amused Maher said. Allen said the dinner with the president and Melania Trump happened around his last or second-to-last season starring on The Apprentice which would put the meal in the 2014-15 range. And he was talking about movies. He said I really like the film business.'
And most of all, I want to thank our president, Donald Jennifer Trump, without whom, we would be going home empty-handed tonight, said Kimmel to the crowd. So thank you, Mr. President, for all the many ridiculous things you do each and every day. It's been a banner couple of weeks, and we can't get wait to get back on the air tomorrow night to talk about them.
The South American country is not Ukraine, nor, for that matter, is it Afghanistan, Iraq, or Libya. But by ordering military strikes to seize dictator Nicolas Maduro, Trump has thrown a country of around 28 million people into uncertainty and tossed aside the most obvious, hard-won lesson of decades of US foreign policy failures: regime-change wars are easy to start and hard to win, much less to turn into anything resembling genuine success.
It's not quite a new year resolution, and it's certainly not a prediction. Think of it instead as a hope or even a plea for the next 12 months. May the coming year see those leaders who have done so much damage to their own countries, and far beyond, at last be called to account. Let 2026 be a year of reckoning.
The portrait of Jesus had been painted onstage by artist Vanessa Horabuena who, the president said, was one of the greatest artists anywhere in the world. To me, she's one of the greatest. In fact, she did something last night that was incredible. She can paint, slowly, a beautiful portrait for the White House, or she can paint the most incredible painting in literally 10 minutes, he added on video of the event broadcast on conservative channel Newsmax.
God Bless Tina Peters, who is now, for two years out of nine, sitting in a Colorado Maximum Security Prison, at the age of 73, and sick, for the crime' of trying to stop the massive voter fraud that goes on in her State ( where people are leaving in record numbers!), began Trump in a post on Truth Social. Hard to wish her a Happy New Year,
Shortly after the director's death, president Donald Trump himself took to social media to blast him as a "tortured and struggling artist," adding that Reiner was a "deranged person as far as Trump is concerned."
They don't raise money for it. They never show up, wrote the president via Truth Social on Tuesday, next to a Mediaite article about anger from JFK's family after Trump's proposed addition of his name to the Kennedy Center. The Trumps have always been supporters of the arts. The Kennedys are supporters of the Kennedys, read another screenshot from a Truth Social user posted by Trump.
Has the president convinced himself that he doesn't need to sell his policies and actions? It appears that he believes he can will people into agreeing with him by claiming his achievements are the biggest, best and most amazing in American history. He's gone way too far by slapping his name on buildings (the Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts) and government programs (the Navy's Trump-class battleship).
A veteran jazz ensemble announced on Monday it was canceling its New Year's Eve performances at the Kennedy Center, the latest group to withdraw from the Washington arts institution after it was renamed to include U.S. President Donald Trump. "Jazz was born from struggle and from a relentless insistence on freedom: freedom of thought, of expression, and of the full human voice. Some of us have been making this music for many decades, and that history still shapes us,"
US presidents have redecorated the Oval Office in different ways since it was first built in 1909. Most presidents have sat at the Resolute Desk, but others brought in their own personal furniture. President Donald Trump has added numerous gold embellishments to the Oval Office. It's been nearly 100 years since the Oval Office was first built under President William Howard Taft. Throughout that time, US presidents have each made different design choices to redecorate the formal workspace.
