Was the January 6 Capitol Breach used as cover for an actual coup? Trump's criticism of Pence's “failure” has deeper context FEBRUARY 5, 2022 - This past week, former US President Donald Trump again criticized former Vice President Mike Pence for Pence's handling of the disputed 2020 presidential election. Trump said that Pence failed in his duty as the President of the Senate at the January 6, 2021 Joint Session of Congress to ensure the integrity of the election when there were “obvious signs of voter fraud or irregularities.” Recently, Pence criticized Trump's earlier complaints about his handling of the January 6, 2021 Joint Session of Congress, which, as a part of the regular legal process of validating Presidential elections, was convened to certify the legitimacy of the Electoral College votes of the various states.

Last week, WHO documented 5 attacks on 5 hospitals in one day. In the past 48 hours alone, four hospitals have been put out of action, representing some 430 beds. More than 100 of our UN colleagues have been killed - and counting. And as we speak, there are reports of firing outside the Al-Shifa and Rantisi hospitals.

Did anyone make any of their embassies feel the kind of siege that was placed against the people who were victims of the Nazis elsewhere? Is there any historical precedent for this?
