year 2023    •    year 2024    •    RECENT EVENTS

The big news story in 2021 was the January 6th U.S. Capitol Riot fomented by Emperor Trump and other
fascist Republican politicians, followed by the swearing-in of duly-elected President Joe Biden and
Vice President Kamala Harris. The big news story in 2022 was Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's March
invasion of several major cities in independent Ukraine; that devastating war continues into 2023 . . .

  • 2021 Wed Jan 6: Hours before the riot, Trump urged a crowd to 'go wild' at the Capitol to get lawmakers to overturn the election result; Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani called for 'trial by combat' to settle allegations of election fraud, which courts and state election officials from both parties have rejected as false.
  • 2021 Wed Jan 6: Violent pro-Trump terrorists stormed the U.S. Capitol Building and tried to derail the process of certifying President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College victory. They ransacked offices, stole artifacts, broke onto the Senate floor, and sent lawmakers fleeing.

  • 2022 YEAR-END VIRUS STATISTICS: Less than half of Americans have gotten a flu shot; there already have been 15 million cases of the flu, 150,000 Americans have gotten it bad enough that they had to be hospitalized, and a whopping 9,300 Americans died from influenza! About 244,000 Americans died of COVID-19 in 2022 (weekly average 4,700), far more than were killed by the flu. According to the C.D.C., up to 160,000 Americans 65 and older are hospitalized with R.S.V. each year, and the virus kills about 10,000 of them. Don't fool around; get vaccinated.

Bolsonaro's refusal to unequivocally concede the election has fueled supporters' grievances and the idiotic conspiracy theory that Brazil's lawfully elected President Lula da Silva 'stole' the election. Next day, Brazil's Supreme Court removed the governor of Brasilia from office for failing to prevent the capital riot; as-of Monday evening, Brazil's government had arrested 1,500 January 8th protestors.

    • 2023 Thu March 30: A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict former President Donald Trump over his role in hush money payments to a porn star during his 2016 presidential campaign. Trump's then-fixer Michael Cohen says he arranged a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, who claimed she had an affair years earlier with Trump, which Trump denies. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation has focused on whether Trump's company falsified records to cover up the checks reimbursing Cohen.
