Out With The Old, In With The New

Trump has done more to help this country in a week than Obama did in 8 years.  The fact that he has given the go-ahead for the Keystone pipeline means jobs and revenue.

Meanwhile, it turns out that Obama left office with one last parting shot to Israel: "In final hours in office, Obama sent $221,000,000 to the 'Palestinians'."

Notable Seniors in the News

Seeing 92 year old Jimmy Carter and 89 year old Rosalynn Carter make the effort to appear at Trump's inauguration made me wonder, if they could attend, why couldn't those 60 boycotting Democrats have attended?

Despite her discharge, 91 year old Barbara Bush refused to leave the hospital without her husband, 92 year old George H.W. Bush. Now that's true love, after 72 years!  You'll remember the photo on this web page - it was after George W. Bush delivered his moving speech at National Cathedral right after September 11.

Inaugural Items

I enjoyed the inauguration and all the pomp and ceremony, as I do every four years. It's usually the best thing on TV. The church services were wonderful, and the balls were entertaining,  especially the military ball where the Trumps and Pences danced with service members. It was amusing to see CNN so caught up in the apparel of Melania and Ivanka Trump

The protests were ridiculous, and you can't reason with people like that. Can anyone explain to me what women in Barcelona have against Trump, and why they, along with those in other countries, participated in those marches today? What did he ever do to them? And it's too bad the marchers in Chicago didn't use their energy and numbers to protest instead against the high murder rate in their city!

Inauguration Day 2017 - Out With the Old,

Forget politics just for one day. The majesty, power, and history of every Presidential inauguration is the only thing that counts.

But it sure feels awfully satisfying to be a Republican today!

Welcome to Washington, President Trump!

As seen at Breitbart, along with other great photos from tonight's pre-inaugural Make America Great Again! Welcome Concert. Having the Lincoln Memorial as the backdrop made for some powerful imagery.

Lots 'o Links

Hear ye, hear ye! Read the Inauguration Eve editions of Larwyn's Linx, Maggie's Farm, and Betsy's Page, and have a wonderful Friday!

Fake News Headline of the Day

"Advisors urge Trump to dance with 'Caitlyn' Jenner at inauguration." "Besides mollifying the LGBTQ community — wary of conservative Republicans in general, and of Trump in particular — dancing with Jenner could mend fences within the party." 

No, dancing with Jenner could show that Republicans are willing to make laughingstocks of themselves for a few votes from a tiny fraction of the population! Talk about pandering!  Let them dance with Bruce Jenner if they're so gung-ho about this.

This has got to be a very bad joke, a tasteless hoax -- or else the Republicans have lost their minds almost as badly as the Democrats have.

"A Spite Machine"

"'So Ben Rhodes, who is a veritable enemy of Israel, Obama appoints to Holocaust Memorial Council,' American Spectator Managing Editor Melissa Mackenzie tweeted. 'The man is a spite machine.'" That is a perfect description of Obama.

Obama Frees Chelsea Manning and 273 More Criminals.   Isn't that wonderful.  (And they should have put "Chelsea" in quotation marks.)

Two days left. I'm afraid to see what else he has up his sleeve.
