Former Vice President Pence wished new President Biden and Vice President Harris well as he returned to Indiana on Wednesday afternoon, while also expressing gratitude for his time as vice president. “It’s been the greatest honor of my life,” Pence said to a small group of supporters, many of whom he said he’d known for years. “It is great to be home back home again. Thank you for coming out,” he added. “To be able to fly home to my hometown means more than I can tell you… Thank you for your support, thank you for your prayers. We felt them every day.” Pence also thanked his staff, his family, and congratulated Biden and Harris. He then thanked former President Trump, with whom he served for four years.

In a show of unity and bipartisanship, the three former president who attended Wednesday’s inauguration recorded a video while they were at Arlington National Cemetery earlier in the day. Former President Barack Obama kicked off the discussion, noting his pride in watching his former vice president and the first Black, South Asian American and female vice president being sworn into office. Then the group turned to address the day’s theme of unity. “I think that the fact that the three of us are standing here talking about a peaceful transfer of power speaks to the institutional integrity of our country,” said former President George W. Bush.

Israel’s Health Ministry recommended on Tuesday that pregnant women be vaccinated following a rash of cases of pregnant women becoming critically ill after contracting the virus, a phenomenon that health officials believe is linked to the British virus variant. The British variant is rapidly spreading through Israel, particularly in the Chareidi sector. There are currently ten pregnant women – all Chareidi – who are critically ill after contracting the coronavirus. It has been confirmed that at least three of the women, and very possibly more, were carrying the British variant after Dr.

A large force of police officers broke up a wedding that was being held in Beit Shemesh on Wednesday night in violation of the Covid-19 regulations. The wedding took place in the neighborhood where many Chareidi extremists live and violence broke out between residents and the officers. Recognizing that violence was probable, police arrived at the scene with enforcements including the Border Police, Water Cannons, and the special patrol unit Yassam. The police received a notification that hundreds of people were gathered outside of one of the shuls in Beit Shemesh after police had arrived to break up a wedding that was taking place inside the shul with dozens of participants.

President Joe Biden said his predecessor left him a “very generous letter” before departing office. Speaking from behind the Resolute Desk, Biden said he would not reveal the contents of the letter out of respect for former President Donald Trump. “The President wrote a very generous letter,” Biden said. “Because it was private I will not talk about it until I talk to him.” Meanwhile, Biden signed a total of 17 executive orders and actions in the Oval Office on Wednesday evening. The orders will overturn several Trump-era orders, and were diverse in their impact, ranging from a mask mandate on all federal property to revisions of directives introduced by former President Donald Trump, including halting the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn in on Wednesday as the next president of the United States on an Inauguration Day that will look like no other in modern history. In a major break with tradition, President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump will not welcome Biden and incoming first lady Jill Biden to the White House and will not attend the inauguration ceremony at the US Capitol. The coronavirus pandemic that continues to devastate the nation has also altered inauguration planning. Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will still take the oath of office on the West Front of the Capitol, but the ceremony will be significantly scaled down and health and safety protocols will be put in place to minimize the risk of spreading the virus.

President Trump is set to leave the White House in Marine One around 8 a.m. on Wednesday. From there, he’ll land at Joint Base Andrews for a farewell ceremony with a military ceremonial sendoff on the tarmac. He’ll then take off in Air Force One and head to Mar-a-Lago. WATCH LIVE BELOW

President Donald Trump will deliver a farewell message from the White House. Excerpts of Trump’s Farewell Address Released: In his farewell address, President Donald Trump says he will pray for the success of the next administration. The White House released excerpts of the video address ahead of its planned release Tuesday afternoon, a day ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. In the video, Trump will say, “This week, we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous.” Trump will also address the storming of the Capitol building by his supporters after he directed them to “fight” the election results showing he lost.

It’s simply fascinating that there are actually still individuals who think that Joe Biden will not be sworn into office at noon on Wednesday. Conspiracies are running rampant, and social media is swamped with delusional fanatic ideas. YWN receives dozens of emails each day promoting all types of conspiracies. The attached audio clip was submitted to YWN no less than 100 times in the past 24 hours, with many people telling YWN that they know “for a fact” that this information is all true. This individual speaking starts off by saying how he has “credible information” that Osama Bin Laden was never killed and is living in Iran, and that’s why Obama paid the Iranians billions of dollars – to keep them quiet.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell opened the Senate on Tuesday saying the pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol was “fed lies” by the president and others in the deadly riot to overturn Democrat Joe Biden election. McConnell’s remarks are his most severe and public rebuke of outgoing President Donald Trump. The Republican leader vowed a “safe and successful” inauguration of Biden on Wednesday at the Capitol, which is under extremely tight security. “The mob was fed lies,” McConnell said. “They were provoked by the president and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of branch of the federal government.” McConnell said after Biden’s inauguration on the Capitol’s West Front — what he noted former President George H.W.
