This was the original day a new president would be inaugurated. The date was changed in 1933 during the Second (and lesser if you ask me) Roosevelt Administration when the extra month and a half travel time to D.C. was no longer necessary. I&#8217;ll forgive you if you didn&#8217;t know that. Only hardcore history and trivia buffs (like myself) knew that before the last few weeks when suddenly the left and Democrats claimed that March 4 was now some sort of holy day for the far-right.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve had thousands of National Guardsmen deployed to the Capitol since January 6th in anticipation of this day. They claimed this would be the day there&#8217;d be another attempt on the Capitol, hence why the District has been host to armed troops and prison-like fencing.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff LPH 3 sends in this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2021\/03\/03\/police-uncover-possible-plot-by-militia-to-breach-capitol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Military Times<\/a> report;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>An advisory sent earlier this week to members of Congress by Timothy Blodgett, the acting House sergeant-at-arms, said that the Capitol Police had \u201cno indication that groups will travel to Washington D.C. to protest or commit acts of violence.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But wait. Now that the acting Capitol Police Chief is testifying in front of Congress&#8230;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But that advisory was updated in a note to lawmakers Wednesday morning. Blodgett wrote that the Capitol Police had received \u201cnew and concerning information and intelligence indicating additional interest in the Capitol for the dates of March 4th \u2013 6th by a militia group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her testimony to the House panel, acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman said her investigators had collected \u201csome concerning intelligence,\u201d but declined to provide any details publicly, saying that it was \u201claw enforcement sensitive\u201d and that she would provide a private briefing for the subcommittee members.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that just last month the vast majority of her own officers, 92%, said they had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/02\/16\/968307742\/u-s-capitol-police-union-issues-no-confidence-vote-for-top-leaders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">no confidence in acting Chief Pittman&#8217;s leadership.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0To be fair to her, the rank and file also have little faith in any of the Capitol Police command staff.<\/p>\n<p>I guess we&#8217;ll see if the conspiracy theory nobody&#8217;s heard of adherents that will show up to overthrow the government on a date that has no significance to anyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 4 has arrived.
