Trump’s address exuded the same energy and confidence that once inspired the Founders to put Virgil’s quotes (“a new order of the ages” [Eclogues]) and annuit coeptis (“He favored our undertakings” [Aeneid]) on our great seal.
In a now liberated Trump’s similar novus ordo, he no longer cares what “they” say —who would after a decade of lawfare, impeachments, collusion/disinformation hoaxes, and two assassination attempts?
So, Trump feels no need to defer to “their” decorum or protocol, at least as defined by those who “soberly and judiciously” tried to destroy him politically and personally.
His inaugural speech spared none of his old and now embittered adversaries and instead reflected his go-for-broke, sense of four-year urgency to seize the moment before it passes. For just once a modern president has assembled all the right people to do all the right things at the right time and for the right reasons.
We don’t know how long this window of opportunity will stay open before the forces of the Democrat-media nexus reboot lawfare and all the rest of what they are capable of, or even, as they lick their deep wounds, whether they are still capable of such unhinged aggression.
But for now, there is hope again for our preeminence in oil and gas, a new stable border, fiscal reform, a rebooted military, deterrence abroad, and a return to common sense, as each cabinet and agency goes from destroying the county to destroying the prior destroyers.
In sum, we were not the ones who were crazy these past years — they were and now they feel it, and everyone knows it.
As for Joe Biden, he limps off into shame, hypocrisy, and obscurity. His last toast to us?

President Trump seems to have hit the ground running.
VDH ping
You can say that again.;-)
And hopefully he keeps up the momentum.
Double tap.
Evil temporarily goes back to the shadows. HOORAY President Trump!

The Biden legacy? He did almost everything he swore he would not—serially lying, and serving as a waxen effigy for his far-left puppeteers. And yet they abruptly disposed of him when he no longer could fulfill even the bargained part of an empty figurine.

While we are correcting, there is also a minor typo in the original paragraph six: “county” = “country” (I assume).
After reading all kinds of news this morning, it will be necessary for everyone to keep up vocal support of the new Trump admin.
We have to reject the fake news because they are back out in force and wasting no time in trying to ruin the next four years.
Weren’t Presidents elected for a second term referred to as a “Lame Duck President?” Looks like he is doing well to me!
Finally we have someone who stands up to those crazed reporters/wanna-be newsmakers
the Democrat-media has become irrelevant, even Comcast has MSNBC up for sale and no one is buying it.
