Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) explains why he invited the corrupt Manhattan judge who oversaw former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial which ended in 12 jurors finding him guilty go 34 counts of felony charges which should have otherwise been misdemeanors. The Republican is so confident that Trump will beat President Joe Biden in November and continue his legacy in the White House that he invited Judge Juan Merchan to take a front row seat at the historical event. “My view of inviting him to the inauguration is to show my recognition that what Merchan is doing unintentionally is re-electing… Donald...

WASHINGTON -- Now that the festivities are over, it is time for the masters of the media to stop asking inane questions of the new folks in town -- such as, "How do you like your new office?" -- and for the Obama administration to get down to work on a clear and present danger. Notwithstanding the "day one" and "first week" coverage, the most pressing issue confronting the American people isn't closing "Gitmo" or the always ephemeral "Mideast peace process" in the aftermath of Gaza or even "fixing the economy." Item No. 1 ought to be preventing the world's...

I rate Donald Trump along with Ike, Kennedy, Nixon and The Gipper as one of the best five American presidents of my lifetime. (I was born in 1957 on a day when Andy Williams "Butterfly" was on top of the charts.) I believe that what the Trump Presidency did for America and for the Western World would never have happened if he had not had smart beautiful women who loved him in his family and at his side. Words and images which I believe prove this can be seen by clicking the link in red type below the title of...

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace on Wednesday praised President Joe Biden’s inaugural address. Wallace said, “I thought it was a great speech. I’ve been listening to these inaugural addresses since 1961. John F. Kennedy, ‘Ask not.’ I thought this was the best inaugural address I have ever heard. Obviously, a lot of this event today, a lot of the president’s speech was colored by the emotion of the fact that exactly two weeks ago, 14 days ago, there was a mob of thugs of insurrectionists, of domestic terrorists on the inaugural stand. Joe Biden was saying democracy prevailed. We were...

John Roberts @johnrobertsFox .@KenCuccinelli says DC @MayorBowser requested crew-served machine guns be included in the National Guard's arsenal to protect the capital.

A rehearsal for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration scheduled for Sunday has been postponed due to security concerns in the nation’s capital, according to reports. The rehearsal will be held Monday instead, Politico reported. Security has been boosted across Washington, D.C. since the deadly riot earlier this month at the Capitol. The Capitol complex has been locked down, and more than 20,000 National Guard troops are expected to be deployed ahead of the inauguration on Wednesday. More than a dozen D.C. Metro stations will be closed to the public in the days leading up to and following January 20. The FBI...

Joe Biden said Thursday it is important President Donald Trump attend his inauguration to deliver public testimony to the nation’s commitment to a peaceful transfer of power between political rivals. “Important in only one sense,” Biden told CNN’s Jake Tapper by way of qualification, when asked of the significance of Trump attending his inauguration.

I have assembled a comparison of President Washington's first Inaugural Address in 1789 with Donald Trump's equivalent: https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/2020/05/01/washington-and-trump/ Who was the better communicator? Which president was more democratic?

MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin traveled to his inauguration on Monday for a new six-year term in a Russian-made limousine, ditching his old stretch Mercedes to send a patriotic message of self-sufficiency amid increased tensions with the West.Putin, in power since 2000, wants Russia to reduce its dependence on imported goods and technology, a drive that has gathered pace since Russia was hit by Western sanctions. Some guests broke into applause at the sight of the car conveying Putin the short distance from his office to the Kremlin hall for the inauguration, Russian news agencies said.“It’s cooler than (U.S....

Trump-Pence Inaugural Celebration Money Bomb Thread What would we have done without FreeRepublic?

Is there a generally set time of day that the PEOTUS publicly take the Oath of Office? I was wanting to have radio on at work around that time.

President-elect Donald Trump plans to attend an inaugural prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral, following the tradition of many past presidents. The National Prayer Service, set for January 21, the day after the swearing-in, is the last of the official inaugural events announced Wednesday (December 21) by the Presidential Inaugural Committee. “The Inaugural Prayer Service is a moment for our next president to pause and contemplate the incredible responsibility he has been entrusted with and to listen as the faith community offers prayers for the office of the president,” said Kevin Eckstrom, the cathedral’s chief communications officer, in a...

Not sure why there is so much drama over who is going to sing the National Anthem at the inauguration?

Preparations and security operations are underway a month before Donald Trump's inauguration as [POTUS], which is expected to draw an unprecedented number of protesters. -snip- "Generally speaking, the inauguration is taking shape as it has in the past,...," Brigadier General George Degnon, deputy commanding general for the presidential inauguration, said [as] he addressed questions about how this inauguration would be different than those before it.
