I like the idea of returning to a State of the Union letter to Congress minus all the panoply. For maximum effect, Trump could also read it to the people as a Fireside Chat, embellishing it along the way to make his case like he did during the campaign.

I am glad that the celebrities are staying away.
They are all idiots who should shut up and sing or play pretend.
None of them have a clue about real life.

John Legend explained his choice not to perform by arguing that “creative people tend to reject bigotry and hate.”

Hitler was an Artist. John Wilkes Booth was an Actor. Pol Pot was a College Professor. Hermann Goering was an Environmentalist.

It will be a while before it dawns on the libtard celebrity “community” that by snubbing Trump now they have burned their bridge to the power center of the country.

How long will it be before they realize that they have placed themselves on the outside looking in?

Trump holds all the high cards.

Over the next four years they will still throw themselves parties and fundraisers and rub el;bows with powerless nobodies like the Clintons and Obamas.

But they will no longer be part of the inner sanctum or have access to the real movers and shakers.

How much love will still they have for Hillary, Bill, Moochie and Barack when they see the world rushing by and no one who counts gives a damn who they are or what they think?

And they are doing it all to themselves.

That's part of the problem with America. Many got sucked into Hollywood's world of celebrity, where disgusting narcissist, drug addicts, drunks, deviates and the self centered vain are everywhere and have been allowed to infect a whole lot of young folk with liberal and racist bull sh*t.

I think it would be very refreshing to see some regular folk and some military marching bands at this most historic presidential inauguration. I love military bands.☺

I hope he gets sworn in during a private ceremony @ 830a so he can be on-the-job at 900a sharp.

Leave the parties to Friday night and the weekend.

Trump is on the job. Time to get to work!

Speaking of celebrities I saw that movie Patriots day tonight, the one starring Mark Wahlberg about the Boston marathon bombing. It was pretty good, they stuck to the facts pretty well, but what really ticked me off was at the end when they were pushing this “Boston comes together and fights” stuff. Oh really? Then why did Boston vote overwhelmingly for Hillary 81% over Trumps 14% ? Does “fighting terror” entail “getting rid of US borders”? Does fighting terror entail importing hundreds of thousands of Muslims from terror producing countries, oh yes, and financing their attacks with $100,000 in welfare benefits? Same with New York city, oh so what if the World trade center was obliterated and 3,000 people died, we must overwhelmingly vote for the wacko who will all but ensure we get a 911 every single day because “New York comes together and fights!”

Even the State of the Union speech has been transformed into a narcissistic address. In 1801, Thomas Jefferson delivered the State of the Union via a written report, and this remained the standard practice until Woodrow Wilson switched to reading his address in person. Nowadays it resembles a king’s speech, full of standing ovations and relentless clapping. I am unconvinced that Donald Trump will return it to its reserved, Jeffersonian form.

I'm hoping he Tweets it.

Just to piss the Progs off Trump should order up a Kremlin-esque military style parade.

I hear Kim Jong-Un will loan these babes for formal parades in the name of diplomacy.

If Frank, Dino, Sammy, and Joan Rivers were alive, they’d be all too happy to perform at Trump’s inaugural ball.

But Old School entertainment is pretty much dead these days. Today’s A listers would be yesterdays Z listers.
