The 2025 inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump is expected to be a far cry from the former president's inaugural events of 2017.
This year's inauguration, which takes place on Monday, January 20, will be filled with a flurry of balls, musical acts, and political conferences throughout the weekend.
Perhaps the most stark difference between Trump’s first inauguration eight years ago are the musicians willing to perform at the event - including country music star Carrie Underwood, Gavin DeGraw, Rascal Flatts, Billy Ray Cyrus and Jason Aldean.

Festivities kicked off Saturday ahead of the 47th presidential inauguration — as thousands of ticket holders scrambled to find a choice viewing spot after the last minute venue shake-up.
President-elect Trump is expected to arrive at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, and will host a Saturday night reception and fireworks display at his Virginia golf course. He’s scheduled to host a rally Sunday at the Capital One Arena, with performances by the Village People, Kid Rock and Billy Ray Cyrus.
The eleventh hour decision to move inauguration indoors upended plans for thousands of ticket holders who had prepared to brave the bitter cold, but will now be unable to squeeze into

On day two of his presidency, President-elect Donald Trump plans to ignite a massive immigration raid in Chicago, sending a strong message that his administration will take a hardline stance on illegal immigration. The mass deportation raid is part of Trump’s broader plan to enforce immigration laws aggressively and send those who entered the United States illegally back to their home countries. With growing concerns over border security and the impact of unchecked immigration on local communities, the move will be seen as a fulfillment of Trump’s promise to prioritize American citizens and uphold the rule of law.

President Trump is assembling an administration stocked with prominent gay and lesbian Americans — defying hysterical Democratic rhetoric.
“When it comes to whether you’re gay or straight, black or white and all those markers others calculate — President Trump is decision blind. He bases his decision on the kind of job he knows you will do, period,” said Bill White, a top Trump fundraiser — who was tapped to serve as the US ambassador to Belgium.
Among the picks:
Scott Bessent, 62, treasury secretary. If confirmed, the hedge fund manager would be the highest-ranking openly gay official in US history.

Soon, open border advocates will step up their agitprop against the new Trump Administration for alleged migrant family separation at the U.S. border. A number of broader points about the family separation phenomenon are worth remembering.
The overwhelming majority of migrant family separation decisions are not made at the U.S. border by DHS. They are made by parents or others — including cartel criminals — in home countries.
Daily, thousands of border violators abandon some or all of their children in their home countries to make the trek into the U.S. illegally to find work.

After weeks of speculation that the most famous marriage in politics was in trouble, Barack Obama posted a fawning tribute to the “love of his life,” Michelle Obama, in honor of her 61st birthday on Friday.
“You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace — and you look good doing it. I’m so lucky to be able to take on life’s adventures with you. Love you!,” he wrote on Instagram, beneath a photo of the casually-dressed couple holding hands over dinner.
“Love you, honey!” his wife quickly replied.

President-elect Donald Trump held a "very good" phone call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Friday, discussing critical issues like the ongoing fentanyl crisis and the U.S. ban on TikTok. As the United States grapples with skyrocketing drug overdoses and concerns over Chinese-backed apps infiltrating American society, Trump’s direct approach to these matters stands in stark contrast to the lackluster responses from the current administration. By engaging with Xi, Trump signals his commitment to holding China accountable while safeguarding American interests, especially as the nation faces challenges that impact both national security and public health.

Judge Aileen Cannon during a hearing on Friday appeared skeptical of Merrick Garland’s plan to give Jack Smith’s Volume 2 final report on Trump’s classified documents case to Congress.
Cannon repeatedly asked DOJ lawyers why they needed to show the classified documents report to lawmakers. The Judge also asked if the final report was safeguarded from being leaked to the public.
“Why is there such urgency to disclose this to Congress right now, prior to the conclusion of the criminal proceeding — which would seem to be the ordinary course?” Cannon asked DOJ attorney Elizabeth Shapiro,

Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Chief Kristin Crowley, the first woman and openly gay person to serve in the position, is facing calls to resign as the destructive wildfires rage on in Southern California.
Crowley has found herself in an awkward situation with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D), who has also received demands to step down, after she said the city “failed” her department and claimed that budget cuts “limited” their ability to respond to “large-scale events.” The fire chief, who was appointed by then-Mayor Eric Garcetti (D) in 2022, then “disappeared” into a closed-door meeting in Bass’s office last Friday “for so long that they missed

Washington— President Biden and his aides have spent their final days in office announcing 32 executive actions — on topics from immigration to offshore drilling — aimed at tying up President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.
The lame-duck 82-year-old’s flurry of late moves to try to make himself a hero to Democrats and obstruct his successor’s agenda include: (Photo) Deportation protection
.
Granting Temporary Protected Status to almost 1 million people, meaning they are protected from deportation and entitled to work permits. The action, decreed by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Jan. 10, shields 234,000 Salvadorans, 1,900 Sudanese, 104,000 Ukrainians and 600,000 Venezuelans for a period of 18 months.

As relieved as I am that Trump will take the helm of the nation on Monday, I will watch Joe Biden wander off into the sunset and the sand dunes of Rehoboth Beach with a slight pang of regret.Hear me out: Joe Biden was a one-man blooper reel. He was a never-ending source of fodder for columnists and humorists and never failed to amaze, baffle, and sometimes even terrify those of us tasked with chronicling and commenting on the last four years. Potential senility aside, were it not for the fact that he is a mean-spirited, corrupt, avaricious, and vindictive old man who felt entitled
