Trump Inaugurates a New Era

Original Article

Breathtaking: There's no other word for the sheer ambition and scope of Donald Trump's second inaugural address. President Trump is back with all the confidence of a man delivered from death for a purpose. Voters save his political life and legacy, too, by reelecting him in the face of every accusation and criminal charge against him. Trump has been given a second chance -- by God and the country alike -- and his address left no doubt he intends to use it to transform America. "The future is ours, and our golden age has just begun," he promised. Other presidents have struck optimistic notes,

Comments:

I meant to watch the NCAA national championship game. I couldn't turn off Fox News, where I found the best coverage of the events of yesterday. President Trump hit the ground running yesterday, not unlike a 350lb defensive tackle going after a 150lb running back with the football in his arms!!

FTA: 'For that matter, will the GOP Senate give Trump the backing to follow through on what he sees as his popular mandate?' I suspect that, being the spineless, shifty weasels most of them are, they will protect their self-interest. As in: if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. They might even suddenly remember they were elected to serve The People.

This morning, while people were still sweeping up confetti and collecting empty champagne flutes from the inaugural balls, President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their wives attended the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral. For the more liturgically-minded readers and those wayward Episcopalians, the order of service can be found here. A certain amount of ecumenicism is to be expected and appreciated at such a service. Jesse J. Swann, Jr., chief of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe, gave the invocation. Rabbi Susan N. Shankman read from Deuteronomy 10:17-21, and cantor Susan Bortnick offered the Jewish call to prayer.

MSNBC’s Rev. Al Sharpton called on all Americans to boycott companies eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, claiming they are trying to send Black people to the “back of the bus.” Sharpton made the announcement at Metropolitan AME Church in Washington, D.C., during a rally in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday. He said this call to action would be done in the spirit of King’s legacy as a civil rights activist. “Why do we have DEI? We have DEI because you denied us diversity, you denied us equity, you denied us inclusion.

Lefty Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was dragged on X for “jewsplaining” to the Anti-Defamation League after the group defended Elon Musk’s “awkward gesture” that progressives insisted was a Nazi salute. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) accused the antisemitism watchdog group of “defending a Heil Hitler salute” before arguing that the ADL “works for” President Trump and his allies. “Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in response to the ADL on X. “People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday used the “Gulf of America” in an Executive Order following President Donald Trump’s swearing in and subsequent speech, in which he reiterated his intention to rename the Gulf of Mexico. DeSantis issued the executive order on Monday, EO number 25-13 on the weather system coming into the state. In the first sentence, DeSantis’s executive order uses the name “Gulf of America.” “WHEREAS, an area of low pressure moving across the Gulf of America, interacting with Arctic air, will bring widespread impactful winter weather to North Florida beginning Tuesday, January 21, 2025…” it begins.

Indian officials are preparing to repatriate roughly 18,000 Indian migrants who have been living in the United States illegally, according to a recent report. “People familiar with the matter” informed Bloomberg that the Indian government is prepared to work with President Donald Trump and his administration to “identify and take back all its citizens” who have been in the U.S. illegally. “As part of India-US cooperation on migration and mobility, both sides are engaged in a process to deter illegal migration,” Randhir Jaiswal, a spokesperson for India’s Ministry of External Affairs, told Bloomberg. “This is being done to create more avenues for legal migration from India to the US.”

Newly inaugurated President Donald Trump told his deputies on Monday to draft rules to deny taxpayer funds to so-called “sanctuary” cities and NGOs — Non-Governmental Organizations — that support illegal migrants. Among his long list of executive orders (EOs) was one entitled “Protecting the American People Against Invasion,” aimed squarely at sanctuary jurisdictions. In section 17 of this EO, for instance, Trump sent a shot over the bow of “sanctuary jurisdictions” to warn them that they had better not interfere with legal federal law enforcement actions or risk losing federal dollars. “The Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, to the maximum extent possible under law,

Texas teen who ratted out his own father to the FBI is reeling from Donald Trump’s decision to pardon January 6th protesters. Jackson Reffitt, whose father Guy Reffitt was sentenced to over seven years in prison for his role in the protests against the 2020 presidential election, spoke to CNN after Donald Trump announced that he would be pardoning all of those involved. “I’ve taken as many precautions as I could recently,” Jackson said. “I’ve picked up a gun, I’ve moved, and I’ve gotten myself away from what I thought would be a dangerous situation and staying where I thought my dad could find me or other people.”

Users of the leftist social media platform Bluesky went into meltdown after Donald Trump pardoned those involved in the January 6th protests. On Monday evening, hours after taking office, Trump confirmed that he would pardon and/or commute the sentences of the 1,600 individuals involved in the protests against the fraud that tainted the 2020 presidential election. Trump acknowledged that while most of those involved were peaceful and did not warrant any form of prosecution, even those convicted of acts of violence were persecuted and punish excessively by the Biden regime as an act of political revenge. The news did not go down well over on Bluesky,

Chris Kuehne, a January 6 political prisoner, Marine veteran, and American patriot who sacrificed years of his life for his country, was released from prison in November 2024. Chris called The Gateway Pundit upon his release to share his relief to be free. You may recall that the FBI raided Chris’s home in the dead of winter and forced his wife to stand outside in the bitter cold while they raided the family’s home. His wife, Annette lost the baby following the trauma of the incident. She suffered a miscarriage the next day following the trauma and abuse by US government agents.

Here we go. Senators received an 11th hour affidavit with spousal abuse allegations against Trump’s Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth ahead of his confirmation vote. On Monday, the Senate Armed Services Committee voted to advance Pete Hegseth’s nomination to a full senate floor vote. Senators can vote as early as Thursday to confirm Hegseth. However, an affidavit from Hegseth’s former sister-in-law, Danielle Hegseth, alleging “instances of abuse” and “mistreatment of a former spouse” involving Hegseth’s second wife, Samantha Hegseth, was submitted to senators. Samantha Hegseth responded to the allegations via email, according to NBC News:

Rep.

Based on what Stefanik told senators Tuesday morning, Turtle Bay better brace for the fired-up New York congresswoman, if she is confirmed. As the U.S. ambassador, Stefanik said she would significantly reform the UN from within. Among the much-needed changes she'll implement, Stefanik promises to conduct a comprehensive budgetary assessment of certain UN subagencies and ensure that "every dollar goes to supporting our American interests." She stressed that "every U.S. taxpayer dollar"

All of Joe Biden's preemptive pardons for the worst political malefactors in recent years are an insult to the rule of law, but one in particular sticks in my craw: Mark Milley. Why? I expect bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci to be ass-covering snakes with a lust for power and disdain for accountability, and I am confident that he will burn in hell and be remembered as the mass murderer that he is. I expect politicians like Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, and the sc*mbags of the January 6th Committee to be liars who would sacrifice their souls for an extra minute on TV and an additional campaign dollar.

Former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) slammed freshly sworn-in President Donald Trump’s remarks from his inauguration ceremony, calling him a “liar” for calling out the House Select Committee on January 6 and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D), right after she received a preemptive pardon from outgoing President Joe Biden. During his speech in front of dignitaries and family members in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, Trump lamented how he offered Pelosi “10,000 soldiers” to mitigate the risk of unrest on January 6, 2021, “but she rebuffed them”: (X Video)

The Trump administration has reportedly reassigned more than a dozen career Justice Department officials, including one who played a central role in pushing for the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago. The new assignments – given to at least 15 longtime officials – will see the federal employees remain within DOJ but in the roles where they are expected to wield less influence on the department’s major decision, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday. Some officials were notified they were being transferred just hours after President Trump was sworn-in on Monday, according to the outlet.

President Donald Trump was left in disbelief as he was forced to listen to a woke bishop deliver a stunningly negative sermon calling for him to show 'mercy' to illegal immigrants and transgender children. On the first full day of Trump's presidency Marianne Budde, the left-wing Episcopal Bishop of Washington, unleashed a wild lecture claiming trans kids were 'fearing for their lives' due to him being in the Oval Office. Trump sat stony-faced in the front row, next to First Lady Melania Trump, as the prelate told him illegal immigrants were not criminals and he shouldn't deport those with children.

Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld apparently had enough of co-host Jessica Tarlov’s shenanigans about the second Trump presidency and the slew of executive orders that have virtually undone everything Joe Biden did over the past four years. In 36 hours, an entire presidency was revoked. Tarlov asked Gutfeld about birthright citizenship, which led to Gutfeld unleashing an epic tirade against liberal America being incapable of understanding this moment. First, on the immigration questions, Gutfeld aptly noted that you don’t need to like everything in a restaurant to like the establishment. That’s the typical authoritarian tendency of the Left—you must like or comply with everything they say, including candidates.

One of Donald Trump’s first acts as president was to commute the sentences of or pardon nearly every single Jan. 6 prisoner, setting them all free. But multiple prisons and halfway houses have resisted complying, with the D.C. gulag holding multiple prisoners hostage and refusing to release them. Trump’s historic order commuted the sentences of about a dozen individuals and pardoned “all individuals convicted of offenses related to event that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” It ordered that those “currently held in prison are released immediately.” But the thugs who have so abused and trampled the rights of the J6ers

The Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington gave an insultingly political speech that excoriated President Trump for...being President Trump, basically. Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde took the opportunity to slam President Trump at the National Prayer Service, where he sat among many of the nation's leaders. The idea of the Prayer Service is to unify the attendees and remind them that we are all one nation under God. It was appalling in every way, no doubt coming from a leftist who speaks endlessly about love, compassion, and unity. She implied that Trump was an enemy of gay and lesbian people, criticized him for wanting to deport

Donald Trump quickly made good on his pledge to sever diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies in the federal government as he is set to fire all DEI hires by tomorrow. The new Trump administration sent a letter to all heads and acting heads of government agencies on Tuesday, informing them all federal employees in DEI roles must be placed on paid leave by 5pm Wednesday. All DEI offices in federal agencies are also being shuttered in the move, which comes after Trump signed an anti-DEI executive order in front of a cheering crowd at his inauguration on Monday.

The inaugural festivities continued for President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday, with both men finding themselves sitting in the National Cathedral for an "interfaith" prayer service. But while most of the speakers acquitted themselves well, a female Episcopalian "bishop" decided to fulfill the far-left's wildest dreams by directing a woke tangent at the president. During Mariann Budde's "sermon," she ranted about "transgender children" and asked Trump to have "mercy" on those who are "scared" of his administration, including those who "pick our crops." Here's the final few minutes of what she said. BUDDE: Let me make one
