Summary

January 6, 2025, could not have been more different than January 6, 2021. Four years ago, Donald Trump lost an election and made sure all hell would break loose, sending his angry mob to the Capitol to stop the certification.

Four years later, Trump won an election and Kamala Harris and the Democrats behaved like adults and patriots, peacefully certifying the election results. Now it's time to stop fighting yesterday's battles and turn our attention to tomorrow's battle for the soul of America. We are already virtually in another election cycle: the midterms. Let's leave the in-fighting, backstabbing, dysfunction and dissension to the Republicans and focus on restoring an allegiance to the rule of law and the Constitution, and rebuilding the promise and reputation of America, at home and abroad.
