President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration has landed a few additional performers: Toby Keith, 3 Doors Down, Lee Greenwood, Jennifer Holliday, The Piano Guys, and the Frontmen of Country will all play a headlining concert on Jan. 19 at the Lincoln Memorial, Trump’s inaugural committee announced on Friday. Actor Jon Voight will also make an appearance.
“President-elect Trump has made it clear that this inaugural is of, by, and for the American people. The 58th Inaugural will celebrate American history and heritage, while setting the course to a brighter and bolder future for all Americans,” Tom Barrack, the chairman of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, said in a press release, according to CNN. “Above all, it will serve as tribute to one of our greatest attributes, the peaceful transition of partisan power.”
Called the “Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration,” the show will also “feature historic remarks” from Trump himself, the event’s website said.

I’m 53 and the only way I get married is with one hell of a pre-nup.
I’ll write some check to make you go away because I don’t care about money the way most people do but, it comes with strings like a pretty restrictive NDA.
My favorite is giving up any and all claims in the future and if she were to so much as file, it would be painful with certainty and inject even more uncertainty as well.
Chicks need certainty and taking it away or threatening to sends chills down their spine....
“The 58th Inaugural will celebrate American history and heritage,” It just keeps getting better and better.
Mel Gibson would be good for some kind of reading—he made doing Shakespeare’s lines look easy.
Is it Keith whose restaurants prohibit guns?
Yep, great music by 3 Doors Down.
How’bout “The big dog will fight when you rattle his cage”..Toby Keith is a great choice..Hope to hear ‘Courtesey of the red white and blue’!
I went to dental school with Jon Voight.
Wheres Hank Jr.?????...He’s represented us “deplorables” for ages!!!
The Piano Guys are awesome!
I have their CD’s....

Yah, I’m a bit surprised I haven’t heard about Tobey K
and some other country mega stars with regard to this
gig before now.
And from my home state of MS!!
Piano Guys —awesome!
Great for our Superhero - ‘Kryptonite’! Go Three Doors Down!
Good for Jennifer Holliday. He helped her when her family was in need. When her family was slain, he had them all stay in his hotel for as long as they wanted, for nothing.
Kryptonite is one of the greatest songs. Great guys.
That was Jennifer Hudson, who played her Broadway role in the “Dreamgirls” movie.

D.C. National Guard Chief Fired Days Before Trump Inauguration: “The Timing Is Extremely Unusual”
by Tyler Durden
Jan 13, 2017 2:50 PM
“The timing is extremely unusual,” Schwartz said in an interview Friday morning, confirming a memo announcing his ouster that was obtained by The Washington Post.
During the inauguration, Schwartz would command not only the members of the D.C. guard but also an additional 5,000 unarmed troops sent in from across the country to help. He also would oversee military air support protecting the nation’s capital during the inauguration.
“My troops will be on the street,” Schwartz, who turned 65 in October, said, “I’ll see them off but I won’t be able to welcome them back to the armory.” He said that he would “never plan to leave a mission in the middle of a battle.”
Schwartz, who was appointed to head the guard by President George W. Bush in 2008, maintained the position through President Obama’s two terms. He said his orders came from the Pentagon but that he doesn’t know who made the decision.
D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) blasted the decision to remove Schwartz, especially on Inauguration Day.
“It doesn’t make sense to can the general in the middle of an active deployment,” Mendelson said. He added that Schwartz’s sudden departure would be a long-term loss for the District. “He’s been really very good at working with the community and my impression was that he was good for the Guard.”
Unlike in states, where the governor appoints the National Guard commander, in the District that duty falls to the president.
Schwartz said that he has not been told why he was asked to step down. “I’m a soldier,” he said, noting that he was following orders and has no regrets. “I’m a presidential appointee, therefore the president has the power to remove me.”
Is this just another part of Obama’s “smooth” transition? Or is something even more sinister at work here, since we already know that anti-Trump activists are planning “the biggest protest in US history” on the day of the inauguratio
IIRC, that was a franchised restaurant around D.C., and not something involving Keith’s decision.
Pssst. Donald Trump is 70 and has a 10 year old son.
What time does the Inaugural begin? We’re having a bunch over to watch it. I keep thinking 12:00. When will the
Trump and Rolling Thunder Bikers ride in and the rest of the festivities?
