In a state that gave former Republican President Donald Trump 57.8% of the stateâs 2016 vote for president and 57.6% in the 2020 presidential election, Republican Third District U.S. Rep. Michael Guest found the courage to join 35 other Republican members of Congress in voting for an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection on Capitol Hill.
That vote bucked Trump and GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarty. The vote drew immediate criticism from the Trump faction in the national GOP and criticism on social media in Mississippi. Guestâs vote aligned him with the stateâs only Democratic congressman, Second District U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson of Bolton â the chairmen of the House Homeland Security Committee who led negotiations on behalf of his party for establishment of the commission.

Dear ER:
Rescue Our Waterfront has tirelessly fought for the revitalization of King Harbor, on behalf of Redondo Beach residents. With a citywide election coming on March 2, 2021, we feel it’s vital to ensure that an in-depth discussion of this extremely important community resource takes place. All candidates for Redondo Beach Mayor and City Council seats have been invited to share their vision for the future of King Harbor. Questions will be submitted from community leaders and Redondo residents. The questions will not be shared with any of the candidates in advance.
The forum will be moderated on Jan 13 at 6 p.m. via Zoom, with a live feed on the Rescue Our Waterfront Facebook page.
On Monday (local time), the electoral college will meet to ratify the victory of Democrat Joe Biden over President Trump, who has refused to concede. Some Trump backers are pressing states to release electors pledged for Biden. At least 33 states prohibit such “faithless” electors, and most other states void switched votes.

On Monday (local time), the electoral college will meet to ratify the victory of Democrat Joe Biden over President Trump, who has refused to concede. The 1960 presidential election set off a political storm, much like this year s contest. Kennedy wound up winning by only about 113,000 votes out of 69 million cast.
