Thank goodness we are back!!!
Yes!
Great news. Lots of catching up to do.
Ok, it looks like you had the last post before the site went down.
Whatever you did, don’t do it again, please!
;-)
Hi, Yaelle! What a day!
What is everyone favorite moments?
Cry? Laugh?

Master Barron is growing up. Don’t miss the video of the standing O and “Barron” chants at the parade
As a Scot who voted for Brexit, I wish President Trump every success in pushing through his policies and Making America Great Again.
Yes...!
I do not depend on FR as my primary news source, but this really made me realize how much I depend on FR as my jumping off point.
I realized I dislike going directly to media sites unless I can go from FR.
So it was YOU!!!!!!!
Favorite highlights?
For me, the inauguration, Trump seeing off Obama and Moochelle in front of the Capitol, the luncheon, Trump’s signing nomination papers and a law waiving the time limit for Mattis as Defense Secretary, the inaugural parade and the balls.
Just a fantastic day! To top it off, Trump rolled back Obamacare before heading out to the balls.
I saw that. Barron playing peek a boo with his baby niece while dad signed orders was cute.
I think yesterday laid to rest all the Autism... Something’s wrong with Barron talk.
Sure is good to have FR up and running.
My favorite moment was this part of his inauguration speech.....
“This moment is your moment. It belongs to you. It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. This is your day. This is your celebration. And this, the United States of America, is your country.”
So nice not to hear “I, I, me, me, my, my”, ad nauseam.
The Staff Sergeant who danced with Melania and gave her a twirl was a moment. I imagine he will never forget his moment with the most beautiful First Lady EVER.
I watched that and thought he will remember that for the rest of his life.
Ohhh, where to start, where to start?
Favorite parts:
The prayers at the inauguration ceremony; the Christian preachers said ‘in Jesus’ name’.
In the inaugural speech President Trump said “most importantly, God will protect us”
Tears/a lump in the throat:
IIRC during the choir singing at the inauguration, President Trump was blinking back tears.
During the parade, when the pipe bands were passing by.
During the church service at the national cathedral, as the ministers and standard bearers started to walk in, President Trump faced the aisle to show respect.
Seeing the Mall from the Capitol to the Washington monument completely filled with people.
I find it invaluable, because the fact is, I simply don’t know enough about many things to be able to make an informed decision about them.
What I get here on FR is a wide variety of input on data elements of a story I might not have a good grasp on. When it was an energy issue, I could depend on Thackney (who sadly, doesn’t post here anymore) to give valid information that bears on that subject. There are plenty here with military experience, business experience, historical experience (such as LS) and such.
I greatly value the family here at FR. And I sure did miss it during this most important of events over the last two days. Good to have them back.
We have been so blessed
