Capitol police officers stand outside of fencing that was installed around the exterior of the Capitol grounds, Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021 in
Washington. The House and Senate certified the Democrat’s electoral college win early Thursday after a violent throng of pro-Trump rioters spent hours Wednesday running rampant through the Capitol. A woman was fatally shot, windows were bashed and the mob forced
shaken lawmakers and aides to flee the building, shielded by Capitol Police.

Siege of US Capitol forces hard questions
By Lisa Mascaro

WASHINGTON —
One day later, the violent
siege of the U.S. Capitol
by President Donald
Trump’s supporters
forced painful new questions across government
— about his ﬁtness to
remain in ofﬁce for two
more weeks, the ability of
the police to secure the

the Republican Party in a

House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi said that any

be “a horror show for

Pelosi and Senate
Democratic leader Chuck

to the Constitution to
force Trump from ofﬁce

At least one Republican

The procedure allows for

Discussion on Jesus’ Baptism
We have had a busy
time lately with Advent,
Christmas, and New
Year’s, and now this week
we are going to talk about
still yet another important event that happened
when Jesus was a little
older: His baptism. It
was important because it
shows us that Jesus was
God’s Son, God was proud
of His Son, and Jesus was
ready to begin His earthly
ministry. You may or may
not remember being baptized yourself, or you may
not have been baptized
yet. Baptism is a special
act where one is sprinkled
with water or immersed
in water to show that our
sins are cleansed, and we
are part of God’s family –
the church.
In today’s lesson, we are
going to hear about how

for giving the Holy Spirit

In Jesus’ name we pray,

if “we, as Black people

happened …. the reaction would have been

One protester, a white
woman, was shot to
death by Capitol Police,
and there were dozens
of arrests. Three other
people died after “medical emergencies” related
to the breach.
Rep. Val Demings,
D-Fla., a former police
chief, said it was “painfully obvious” that
Capitol police “were not
prepared” for what took
place.
Rep. Tim Ryan,
D-Ohio, who is the
chairman of a subcommittee that oversees the
Capitol police budget,
announced the new
review and suggested
there would be leadership changes on the
force.
“I think it’s pretty
clear that there’s going

Before dawn Thursday, Congress conﬁrmed
Biden as the presidential
election winner, lawmakers resolved to return
from shelter to show the
country, and the world,

of the nation’s enduring
commitment to uphold
the will of the voters and
the peaceful transfer of
power.
Vice President Mike
Pence, presiding over
the joint session,
announced the tally for
Biden, 306-232.
Trump, who had
repeatedly refused to
concede the election,
said in a statement
immediately after the
vote that there will be an
“orderly transition” on
Inauguration Day.
Several lawmakers
suggested that Trump be
prosecuted for a crime,
impeached for a second
time or even removed
under the Constitution’s
25th Amendment, which
seemed unlikely two
weeks from when his
term expires. The House
impeached Trump in
2019 and the Senate
acquitted him in 2020.
Schumer said Trump
must be removed from
ofﬁce and not stay
president “one day” longer.”
While Democrats led
the charge to invoke the
25th Amendment, similar conversations among
Republicans within the
administration had made
their way to Capitol Hill.
Republican Rep.
Adam Kinzinger of
Illinois, publicly called
on Trump’s Cabinet to
invoke the 25th Amendment and remove the
president from ofﬁce.
“The president caused
this,” Kinzinger said in
a video posted to Twitter. “The president is
unwell.”

TODAY IN HISTORY
By The Associated Press

Today is Friday, Jan. 8, the eighth
day of 2021. There are 357 days left in
the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Jan. 8, 1998, Ramzi Yousef, the
mastermind of the 1993 World Trade
Center bombing, was sentenced in
New York to life in prison without the
possibility of parole.
On this date:
In 1815, the last major engagement
of the War of 1812 came to an end
as U.S. forces defeated the British in
the Battle of New Orleans, not having
gotten word of the signing of a peace
treaty.
In 1918, President Woodrow
Wilson outlined his Fourteen Points
for lasting peace after World War I.
Mississippi became the ﬁrst state to
ratify the 18th Amendment to the
Constitution, which established Prohibition.
In 1935, rock-and-roll legend Elvis
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi.
In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson, in his State of the Union address,
declared an “unconditional war on
poverty in America.”
In 1968, the Otis Redding single
”(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay”
was released on the Volt label almost
a month after the singer’s death in a
plane crash.
In 1973, the Paris peace talks
between the United States and North
Vietnam resumed.
In 1982, American Telephone and
Telegraph settled the Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit against it by
agreeing to divest itself of the 22 Bell
System companies.
In 1994, Tonya Harding won the
ladies’ U.S. Figure Skating Championship in Detroit, a day after Nancy
Kerrigan dropped out because of the
clubbing attack that had injured her
right knee. (The U.S. Figure Skating
Association later stripped Harding of
the title.)
In 1997, the state of Arkansas put
three men to death in the second triple execution since capital punishment
was reinstated in 1976. (The ﬁrst also
occurred in Arkansas, in 1994.)

cally of those objecting to
the certiﬁcation.
“I think they should be
ashamed of themselves,”
he said. “It really is
outrageous what they’re
doing.”
Brown referred to
them as “jellyﬁshes” and
claimed their objections
stemmed from being
fearful of standing up to
President Trump. Brown
had intended to speak
out further on the ﬂoor if
the Michigan count was
formally objected to, but
no valid objection of that
state was ﬁled.

of the insurrectionists.
“As a nation of laws,
this is simply not acceptable,” DeWine said in a
statement. “Lawlessness
is not acceptable.”
Lt. Gov. Jon Husted
said the events looked
like “what we would see
in a third-world nation.”
“It does not look like
America,” Husted tweeted. “It is not patriotic.”
House Speaker Bob
Cupp, R-Lima, also spoke
out against the violence,
as did Ohio Republican

Blue Devils win home quad

By Bryan Walters

CENTENARY, Ohio —
Worth the wait.
The Gallia Academy
wrestling team made
a triumphant debut on
Wednesday night after
claiming a trio of victories over Ironton, Marietta and Alexander during
a non-conference quad
match in Gallia County.
The Blue Devils posted
a 30-12 overall record
in their trio of 14-match
competitions, with eight
of those victories coming
by pinfall.

GAHS had nine different grapplers go unbeaten
throughout the event,
including a quartet of
wrestlers who went 3-0
overall and another pair
that won twice in as many
matches.
Todd Elliott (120),
Garytt Schwall (132),
Cole Hines (152) and

NFL prospects
everywhere in
Alabama-Ohio
State title game
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press

Former LSU linebacker Patrick Queen is a good
example of how a huge performance in a national
championship game can help a player boost his
NFL draft stock.
Queen was a rising prospect throughout last season and capped it by being the defensive MVP of
the College Football Playoff championship victory
against Clemson. About three and half months
later, Queen was selected in the ﬁrst round by the
Baltimore Ravens at No. 28 overall.
No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 Ohio State head into
the national title game Monday night with a slew
of future NFL players. The matchups will not
only determine who wins a championship, but
could also inﬂuence where some of their stars are
drafted.
“You do want to look into a player’s ability to
play in the clutch and in the big moments because
obviously when you’re putting together a football
team, an NFL roster, your goal is to be playing in
the playoffs,” said Jim Nagy, Senior Bowl executive director and a former NFL scout. “So you
want to look at the consequential games. The
games that really matter.”
Alabama center Landon Dickerson, who is out
with a knee injury, and guard Deonte Brown have
already accepted invitations to the Senior Bowl
on Jan. 30, Nagy said. Heisman Trophy-winning
receiver DeVonta Smith, star running back Najee
Harris and tackle Alex Leatherwood have also
been invited.
For Ohio State, center Josh Myers, running back
Trey Sermon, linebackers Tuf Borland and Barron
Browning, and defensive end Jonathon Cooper
plan to take part in the Senior Bowl, Nagy said.
Invitations have also been extended to defensive
tackle Haskell Garrett and linebacker Pete Werner.
There are perhaps 20 players who could potentially be drafted in April after playing for the
Crimson Tide and Buckeyes.
Quarterbacks
Ohio State’s Justin Fields was amazing against
Clemson, throwing six touchdown passes and
showing off accuracy and arm strength all over
the ﬁeld. He also displayed poise and toughness,
playing most of the game after taking a nasty hit
to his side.
That came after an inconsistent and truncated

‘A sad day’: NBA reacts to Capitol protest, Blake decision
MIAMI (AP) —
With words and
actions, several NBA
teams showed dismay
Wednesday hours after
a violent mob loyal
to President Donald
Trump was able to
storm the U.S. Capitol
and in response to a
decision by a Wisconsin
prosecutor not to charge
a police ofﬁcer who shot
a Black man last year.
In Miami, the Heat
and Boston Celtics
released a joint
statement saying they
were playing “with a
heavy heart” in a game
where most players
and coaches knelt for
the national anthem. In
Milwaukee, the Bucks
and Detroit Pistons
both took turnovers on
their ﬁrst possessions
— intentionally, with all
10 players on the court
kneeling. In Phoenix,
the Suns and Toronto
Raptors stood in a circle
and linked arms for the
American and Canadian
anthems. Many other
tributes took place
around the NBA.

Earlier in the day
at the Capitol, a mob
delayed Congress from
certifying the results
of November’s election
and paving the way
for President-elect Joe
Biden to be sworn in
later this month.
“It’s an embarrassing
and shameful day in our
country,” New Orleans
coach Stan Van Gundy
said.
Wednesday’s events
came one day after
the decision to not to
bring charges against
the ofﬁcer who shot
Jacob Blake in Kenosha,
Wisconsin, last year
was announced. Blake’s
shooting was one of
the many issues players
focused on last season
in the NBA restart
bubble, where the issues
of racial injustice and
police brutality were a
constant focus.
The joint Heat-Celtics
statement said, in part:
“2021 is a new year,
but some things have
not changed. We play
tonight’s game with
a heavy heart after

yesterday’s decision in
Kenosha, and knowing
that protesters in our
nation’s capital are
treated differently
by political leaders
depending on what side
of certain issues they are
on.”
The Celtics discussed
the Blake decision
earlier in the day, before
the events from the
Capitol unfolded. The
Celtics then met again
as a team after arriving
at the arena in Miami,
discussed options, and
coach Brad Stevens
even called his wife to
say that he didn’t think
his team would take the
ﬂoor.
Boston ultimately
chose to play, beating
Miami 107-105.
“They’ve operated in a
win-at-all-costs attitude,”
Stevens said of Trump’s
administration. “I don’t
know, our sports world
is a lot less important,
obviously. But I’ve
always thought if you
operated with a win-atall-costs attitude, it’s
going to be a pretty

unfulﬁlling ending.
And in this situation, a
disgraceful ending. So,
I’m looking forward to
two weeks from now,
as I know a lot of other
people are, too.”
Biden will be
inaugurated two weeks
from Wednesday, on Jan.
20.
It was unclear if any
of the teams who knelt
would be subject to
penalties. The NBA had
a rule for decades that
players and coaches
must stand for the
national anthem. That
rule was relaxed last
year when the season
resumed at the bubble
inside Walt Disney
World.
The Bucks won the
opening tap of their
game, and instead of
running a play two-time
reigning NBA MVP
Giannis Antetokounmpo
simply held the ball as
all players knelt. That
resulted in a turnover, as
did the ensuing Detroit
possession when Blake
Grifﬁn held the ball
and players took a knee

again. The Bucks said
after the game they held
the ball for 7 seconds to
reﬂect the seven times
Blake was shot.
“We want to do things
to help make change, be
on the right side of the
ﬁght, continue to ﬁght,
not be in any way, shape
or form distracted or
slowed or moved in the
wrong direction,” Bucks
coach Mike Budenholzer
said. “We need to keep
moving forward in all
ways, shapes and forms.”
Meanwhile, a men’s
college basketball
game scheduled to be
played in Washington
on Wednesday night
was postponed after
a city curfew was
imposed in response
to the mob’s actions
at the Capitol. The
Atlantic 10 Conference
game between George
Washington and UMass
will be rescheduled by
the league.
Another Washingtonbased team,
Georgetown, took a
knee for the anthem
before facing Butler

in Indianapolis. “I’m
saddened,” Hoyas coach
Patrick Ewing said in
response to the day’s
events.
There were 11 games
on Wednesday’s NBA
schedule. All were
played.
“It feels a little odd to
play a game tonight, to
be honest,” Charlotte
coach James Borrego
said before his club
played in Atlanta.
Philadelphia coach
Doc Rivers, who is
Black, spoke of the
stark difference between
rallies across America
last summer that
often included violent
skirmishes between
protesters and police
and what he watched
at the Capitol on
Wednesday.
“The symbolism of
storming the Capitol
without force done to
them, if you’re a Black
American, it deﬁnitely
touches you in a
different way,” Rivers
said. “This is not a
Black thing. This is an
American thing.”

Priefer subbing as Browns head coach in playoffs vs Steelers
This is the second
time Priefer has been
an acting head coach.
He had to do it on late
notice in 2016 for one
game in Minnesota after
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer had emergency eye
surgery.
Priefer had less than
24 hours to get ready for
that gig. He’s had more
time to prepare this
week, but it’s been anything but routine.
“It’s like every morning you wake up and say
what else can you deal

with?” he said. “Everything’s been different.
But from the leadership
with (GM) Andrew
(Berry) and Kevin on
down to the coaches
and even the players,
we’ve been so adapted
and so ﬂexible, we’ve
been so resilient in ﬁghting through every piece
of adversity that we’ve
had to deal with this
year.

job with that thus far
and we’re going to continue to do so.”

he gets to face Smith, a

said. “But based on what

doesn’t seem like a realistic possibility.”

CLEVELAND (AP)
— Mike Priefer has
known for months that
he would be Browns
coach Kevin Stefanski’s
replacement in the event
of a positive COVID-19
test.
He never imagined it
happening in the playoffs.
Cleveland’s special
teams coordinator will
handle Stefanski’s gameday duties on Sunday
night in Pittsburgh when
the Browns play in their
ﬁrst postseason game

since 2003. Stefanski,
who led the Browns to
11 wins and back to the
playoffs, tested positive with the virus on
Tuesday along with Pro
Bowl guard Joel Bitonio
and two more assistant
coaches.
Priefer said Stefanski
had drawn up a pandemic contingency plan
in the spring, and this
week the Browns are
putting it into action.
But while Priefer will
take on Stefanski’s role
— and wear headphones

he despises — he knows
his role is just temporary.
“Make no mistake,
this is Kevin’s team,”
said Priefer, a Cleveland
native. “He’s laid the
foundation of a smart,
tough, accountable,
resilient team. and I’ll
do whatever’s asked
of me to help get the
Browns a win on Sunday
night. I do love this city.
And our fans deserve
our best effort, and
that’s what we plan on
giving them on Sunday.”

It’s been a challenging
week to say the least for
the Browns, who as of
mid-day Thursday still
didn’t know if or when
they’d practice. Their
building and training
facility have been
closed since Tuesday,
limiting the team to
Zoom meetings and text
messages.
At this point, the NFL
said the wild-card game
will be played as scheduled despite the rash
of COVID-19 cases in

The Alabama defense
has had some bumpy
moments, but it is still
the most talented group
Ohio State has faced,
starting with SEC defensive player of the year
Patrick Surtain III. The
junior will probably be
the ﬁrst cornerback drafted if he declares.
Plus, Fields will be
tested by Alabama schematically.
“Give (Tide coach)

ﬁnd your weaknesses,
that’s terrifying,” said
Matt Miller of NFL Draft

Alabama quarterback
Mac Jones is among
the second tier of quarterbacks in the upcoming draft that includes
Florida’s Kyle Trask and
maybe SMU’s Shane
Buechele.
Jones has been superb,
but he doesn’t have athletic traits comparable
to Fields and Lawrence.
Jones is surrounded by
top-end talent, and offensive coordinator Steve
Sarkisian has done a good
job of scheming receivers
open and creating mismatches.
“He’s a very, very difﬁcult evaluation because
how do you separate

him from just an elite

Jones.

In the trenches
Alabama defensive
tackle Christian Barmore
is a third-team All-American and a third-year
sophomore, so he is no
sure thing to enter the
draft.
The 310-pounder has
not played at a consistently high level that would
make him a lock ﬁrstrounder. Still, Brugler
said the defensive line
class is thin at the top of
this draft and Barmore
has a chance to be best of
the bunch.
Barmore will face a
good test in Ohio State’s
interior line. All-America
guard Wyatt Davis and
Meyers are likely Day 2
draft picks with bottom of
the ﬁrst-round potential.
Sermon delivers
Ohio State running
back Trey Sermon has
gone on a remarkable
late-season tear with 636
yards rushing in his last
three games. He should
expect to see a lot of linebackers Dylan Moses and
Christian Harris, the top
two tacklers for the Crimson Tide.
Nagy said Sermon
looked like a potential
starting NFL running
back before injuring his
knee last season while at
Oklahoma.
“He’s gotten his opportunity these past few
weeks there for Ohio
State and he’s taken full
advantage of those, but to
do it against a Nick Saban
defense in a national
championship game
would just be that next
level for him,” Nagy said.

Lawmakers openly discuss ousting Trump, possible impeachment
By Zeke Miller
and Mary Clare Jalonick
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
Lawmakers of both parties raised the prospect
Thursday of ousting President Donald Trump from
ofﬁce, and House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi said that if
he wasn’t removed, the
House may move forward
with a second impeachment.
Though Trump has less
than two weeks in ofﬁce,
lawmakers and even
some in his administration began discussing
the issue Wednesday
afternoon as Trump ﬁrst
refused to forcefully condemn the violent assault
on the U.S. Capitol by a
mob of his supporters,
and then appeared to
excuse it.
Senior Trump administration ofﬁcials raised the
long-shot possibility of
invoking Section 4 of the
25th Amendment — the
forceful removal of Trump
from power by his own
Cabinet.
Pelosi told a news
conference she is waiting

J. Scott Applewhite | AP

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., holds a news conference
Thursday, the day after violent protesters loyal to President Donald
Trump stormed the U.S. Congress, at the Capitol in Washington.
Lawmakers of both parties raised the prospect of ousting Trump
from office, and Pelosi said that if he wasn’t removed, the House
may move forward with a second impeachment.

for a decision from Vice
President Mike Pence and
other Cabinet ofﬁcials.
She challenged several of
them by name, including
Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo and Treasury
Secretary Steve Mnuchin.
“Do they stand by these
actions?” Pelosi asked.
“Are they ready to say
that for the next 13 days
this dangerous man can
do further harm to our
country?”
Most Democrats, and
many Republicans, put
the blame squarely on

Trump after hundreds
of protesters bearing
Trump ﬂags and clothing broke into the Capitol on Wednesday and
caused destruction and
mass evacuations. The
president had urged his
supporters to protest as
Congress was counting
the electoral votes that
conﬁrmed Joe Biden’s
win.
Pelosi said “a threshold was crossed of such
magnitude” that Trump
should not be allowed to
make any decisions. And

if the Cabinet didn’t act,
the House might, she
said.
There did not appear
to be public support for
the move, for now, among
members of Trump’s
Cabinet, especially after
Transportation Secretary
Elaine Chao resigned in
protest Thursday following the Capitol attack.
But ofﬁcials across the
government went so far
as to study up on the
procedures for declaring Trump “unable to
discharge the powers and
duties of his ofﬁce.”
According to two
people involved in the
administration talks, stafflevel discussions on the
matter took place across
multiple departments and
even parts of the White
House. No member of
the Cabinet has publicly
expressed support for the
move, which would make
Pence the acting president. But several were
believed to be sympathetic to the notion, believing
Trump is too volatile in
his waning days before
Biden’s inauguration on
Jan. 20.

Under the 25th Amendment, Trump could dispute his Cabinet’s ﬁnding,
but the Cabinet could
quickly reafﬁrm its position, keeping Pence in
power while the question
fell to lawmakers.
As lawmakers assessed
damage in the ransacked Capitol, Senate
Democratic leader Chuck
Schumer also called
Thursday for the Cabinet
to remove him.
Schumer said the attack
on the Capitol “was an
insurrection against the
United States, incited by
the president.” He said
Trump “should not hold
ofﬁce one day longer.”
Schumer said Pence
and the Cabinet should
invoke the 25th Amendment and immediately
remove Trump from
ofﬁce. Otherwise, he said,
it’s up to Congress.
“If the vice president
and the Cabinet refuse
to stand up, Congress
should reconvene to
impeach the president,”
Schumer said.
While the House could
quickly vote to impeach
Trump, it is extremely

unlikely that Congress
could remove the president in the next 13 days.
The Senate would have
to receive the articles and
then hold a trial and vote
on them.
And even if they did
so, the Republican Senate
would be unlikely to vote
to convict. Democrats
are set to narrowly take
the Senate when Biden is
inaugurated, but Senate
Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell holds the
gavel until then.
As Pelosi suggested
impeachment was a possibility, three Democrats on
the House Judiciary Committee announced articles
of impeachment. Reps.
David Cicilline of Rhode
Island, Jamie Raskin of
Maryland and Ted Lieu
of California wrote in the
articles that Trump “willfully made statements
that encouraged — and
foreseeably resulted in —
imminent lawless action
at the Capitol.”
The House impeached
Trump in 2019, but the
Republican-led Senate
acquitted him in early
2020.

“As everyone who
watched yesterday’s
events in Washington
now understands, if
they did not understand
before, the rule of law is
not just some lawyers’
turn of phrase, it is the
very foundation of our
