On Wednesday 20 January 2021, Joseph Biden Jr became the 46th President of the United States. They are still arguing American exceptionalism.

UNDERSTANDING SUICIDE
So the Commissioner of Police Paul Rolle was having an otherwise good day. On 18 January 2021, he had plenty to talk about with regard to the crime report for last year.
