The Sky Fell…Yet Again

On the eve of a new Presidency…we must not dismiss the events of Jan 6, 2021 — On January 6, 2021, not a full week into the new year, as the government was confirming the next U.S. President, the public lived through yet another historic [but unsurprising] event. In an event, unlike anything anyone [currently alive] had ever seen, the country watched as an insurrection took place…
