Inaugural Poet Amanda Gorman to Perform at Super Bowl

Inaugural Poet Amanda Gorman to Perform at Super Bowl

Amanda Gorman is set to perform an original poem at the Super Bowl.

The 22-year-old will honor three game captains who were picked by the NFL for their leadership in their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Marine Corps veteran James Martin, COVID ICU nurse manager Suzie Dorner, and educator Trimaine Davis will also participate in the official on-field Coin Toss ceremony.

Gorman won our hearts over after reciting her poem, “The Hill We Climb,” calling for a change in the nation during Joe Biden’s Presidential Inauguration.

Ever since her historic performance, she signed a deal with the model agency, IMG on top of securing this Super Bowl gig.

Get used to Amanda Gorman’s face because it looks like we’ll be seeing more of this young Queen.

Biden-Harris Inauguration Rehearsal Postponed Due to Security Threats

Biden Harris Inauguration Rehearsal Postponed Due to Security Threats

A rehearsal for the upcoming Biden-Harris inauguration was rescheduled due to an “extensive amount of concerning online chatter” that the FBI has been tracking.

The FBI says they have reasons to believe that there is a nationwide call for violence at every Capitol leading up to Inauguration Day.

The rehearsal was scheduled for Sunday and will now be held on Monday.

Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy has authorized up to 21,000 National Guard troops in and around Washington, D.C. in the days up to and during the Biden inauguration. 

“As always, our first priority is to protect people and property — and the safety and wellbeing of our National Guard personnel and their families,” Army General Daniel Hokanson told Military Times. “I visit with these men and women every night, and they understand the importance of this mission. They are also proven, prepared and proud to do their part to ensure a peaceful and safe inauguration of our incoming commander-in-chief.”

The President-elect also canceled his planned Amtrak commute from Delaware to the nation’s capitol due to safety concerns.

Inauguration Day is on January 20th and a star-studded event is planned with performances by Jennifer Lopez and John Legend. The highly-anticipated event will be hosted by Tom Hanks and Lady Gaga is set to sing the National Anthem.

Donald Trump Confirms He’s Not Attending Joe Biden’s Inauguration

Donald Trump Confirms He's Not Attending Joe Biden's Inauguration

Donald Trump’s Twitter was restored and he used the platform to announce his plans for Joe Biden’s upcoming inauguration.

“To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th,” Trump tweeted on Friday.

Trump is the first President not to attend his successor’s inauguration since Andrew Johnson in 1869. Richard Nixon resigned before Gerald Ford was sworn into office in 1974.

It’s traditional for the current President to invite the President-elect to the White House and ride to the inauguration together.

But after Capitol Hill’s deadly riot incited by the POTUS himself, he’s deciding to sit this one out.

The call for Donald Trump’s resignation is growing and if he refuses, Nancy Pelosi and her clique are prepared to impeach him once more.
