Thousands of Donald Trump fans and supporters came again in the rally held in Washington

 Thousands of red-hatted protesters filled Washington streets Saturday to support Donald Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud, undeterred by the USA Supreme Court’s rejection of what have been his last chance to overturn the results.






Thousands gathered around the Plaza, a on the few blocks from the White House, in a festive atmosphere earlier in the day,  some of the police in riot gear, used their bodies and bicycles to keep the groups apart. There was also at least one clash between police and counter-protesters.


Six people were arrested, following five arrests Friday night related to a brawl, local media reported.Thousands of Trump supporters again rally in Washington.

pro-Trump demonstrators showed up in tactical gear, chanting (USA) shouting and four years,for the outgoing president.

But noticeably smaller than a similar rally a month ago when 10,000 people converged near the White House to support Trump.

“We’re not gonna give up,” said Luke Wilson, a sixty-something protester who had come all the way from the western state of Idaho.

“There is a big injustice being done to the American people, Dell Quick, a regular at Trump’s political rallies. He brandished a flag defending gun rights.

On the November 3 2020,Protesters offered no shortage of explanations for the results of the  election won by Democrat Joe Biden, even though it has been affirmed by state election officials ,several of them Republican and by judges in several key states.

But protesters insisted, as Donald Trump has repeatedly done, that there was widespread fraud in the election.
Some pointed to “foreign interference,” others to software that allegedly erased millions of votes for the president — but not those for other Republican candidates on the same ballots.
Quick told AFP that “there’s no way possible” Biden was elected.
Susan Bowman, a 62-year-old from Hampton.


Those who addressed the crowd included Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser who lied about his Russian contacts and was recently pardoned by the president.
 
Dozens of court cases contesting the result have been decided  virtually all in Biden’s favor, with some judges offering stinging criticism of the lack of evidence.

Nobody wants to hear evidence, nobody wants to hear cases, everything just gets thrown out,” said Denton, who had come from Tennessee to support a president she said had given “a voice to the people.”
Trump, in stark defiance of the clear result and of US tradition, has refused to concede to Biden.

Not long afterward, his helicopter lifted off from the White House grounds and passed over the crowd  while the other sing the US national anthem  as Donald Trump headed to New York to attend the annual Army-Navy football game.
Among the protesters, members of the far-right militia group the Proud Boys were clearly visible in their signature black-and-yellow outfits, some wearing bulletproof vests  and they often drew cheers from others in the crowd.
Occasional violent clashes with counter-protesters during the November rally which gave some  people a stab wounds. Police made some 20 arrests related to that event.

Members of the Royal College of Surgeons of England say they doubt the NHS can meet targets to restore surgery back to near pre-pandemic levels.

In July, NHS England boss Sir Simon Stevens told trusts hospitals should by September 2020 be performing at least 80% of their September 2019 rates of: overnight planned procedures outpatient or day-case procedures And by October, this proportion should rise to 90%. But data suggests more than two million people have been waiting longer than 18 weeks for routine operations, with 83,000 waiting more than a year - up from 2,000 before the pandemic.
