HOGAN CALLS FOR TRUMP’S RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL: Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said “America would be better off” if President Donald Trump resigned or was “removed from office,” Bryan Renbaum reports for Maryland Reporter. He called for leadership as the country reacts to Trump supporters attacking the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday as Congress was counting Electoral College votes and certifying Joe Biden’s presidential win.
Maryland’s National Guard and state police were ready Wednesday to help fight the “shameful attack on our democracy” in Washington, D.C., but federal officials repeatedly denied their authorization, Teresa McMinn of Cumberland Times-News reports from the Hogan presser.

I was cautiously optimistic that the GOP would hold at least one seat in Tuesday’s runoff elections in Georgia. Frankly, I gave the edge to Kelly Loeffler, whose opponent, Raphael Warnock, had been exposed as a far-left radical who supports defunding the police.
Heck, while I still don’t believe Joe Biden legitimately won the state of Georgia, I’d believe him winning the Peach State before believing that this reliably red state would vote for the likes of Warnock. Georgia hasn’t voted for a Democrat for president since Bill Clinton in 1992. Not even Barack Obama was able to win the state in 2008, despite the historically high turnout in favor of voting for the first black president. But the mass delusion that Joe Biden is a moderate is still easier to swallow than Warnock.
