Scattered among the thousands and thousands of attendees at the Trump Inaguration, there were quite a few Marines. They were easy to spot because of their gleaming white hats and impeccable dress attire. It was hard to tell whether or not they had an actual role in security because they did not appear to be armed. They were, however, certainly
In contrast to the last two Inagurations, the 2017 event had a Guest of Honor that we haven’t heard from in eight years. And, despite his long absence, he played a major roll in the proceedings. I am speaking, ladies and gentlemen, of Jesus Christ. Under the regime of Barack Obama, our Judeo-Christian ethos became more and more marginalized and
The New York Times (All The News That Fits, We Print), the Washington Post (since Watergate it’s been all downhill for this has been), CNN (the Counterfeit News Network) and, of course, MSNBC (Misleading & Slanderous News Broadcasting Channel) were ALL foaming at the mouth! They haven’t been this excited since Dan Quayle misspelled “potato”! The Women’s March attendance was
In general, the 2017 Inaguration was a huge success. The relatively small number of violent protesters outside of the event (217) were immediately arrested and removed. We did have a bit of light rain, but the weather, for January, could certainly have been much worse. The ceremonies were beautifully done, and Mr. Trump’s Inaugural Address was excellent. My only disappointment
The day after the Inaguration, the National Mall played host to another large assembly: The Women’s March on Washington. Now, even though I was in Washington at the time, I didn’t actually participate in this event. It’s not that I don’t believe in women’s rights (I do, in general), but I wasn’t SURE if I was INVITED. And, if I
Donald Trump’s opponents warned America repeatedly over the months prior to the election. In fact, they warned America CONTINUOUSLY. They warned that a Trump victory would disenfranchise large chunks of the populace: women, blacks, latinos, college students and Native Americans, among others. So, you might assume that, if this were true, enthusiasm among these groups for a Trump Presidency would
Although it’s quite surprising, it appears, ladies and gentlemen, that the Master of Ceremonies for tomorrow’s Inaguration will be…Senator Chuck Schumer! As we walked by the Capitol this morning we were startled to see Senator Schumer rehearsing his speech on the podium. Although I was quite surprised at this choice, I believe it was a good one for several reasons.
As I venture off today to Washington, D.C. for the inauguration of Donald J. Trump, I reflected a bit on America’s Constitution. It has long been my feeling that the Constitution of the United States of America is the greatest work to come forth from the mind of man. I believe it tops Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, Einstein’s Special
As the 45th Inaguration of the President of the United States nears, I think back to the very first Inaguration that I ever watched: the Inaguration of John F. Kennedy in 1961. I was only eight years old at the time but I can remember many parts of it like it was yesterday. I remember that it was a cold
Reflecting a bit on the nature of the Democratic Party’s core constituency, I suddenly realized that there was a single commonality that united large portions of the Democratic base. Surprisingly there is something that unites the 49% of Americans that are on some form of Government support, with our illustrious college students and with our ultra rich citizens (George Soros,
