By Ray Cardello for January 20, 2025, Season 30 / Post 14

What a fantastic convergence of events on a beautiful but cold Monday morning in January. Not only do we recognize Dr. Martin Luther King and crown a NCAA National Football Champion tonight, but we watch as the government hierarchy gathers in the Capital Rotunda to witness the swearing-in of the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Today feels a bit different than recent transfers of power. We come together every four years to usher in a new President and Administration. Still, this year feels more encouraging and uplifting than its predecessors, as there seems to be hope that our country has been saved from the spiral of Obama and Biden. Obviously, it is an editorial comment, and the other side will see today differently. Still, an honest individual looking and listening with unfiltered senses will admit that we had been, if not derailed, pulled off course. Today, we witness the dawning of a return to common sense and traditional values that this country was built on but has relied on for nearly 250 years. It is a day that those of us who believe in the Conservative movement feared may never come again. In President Trump, we have the energy and vision to guide us, and J.D. Vance, we have the stability, wisdom, and future to allow us to complete the job of recovering the United States of America.

The Golden Age of America begins today as President Trump and Vice President Vance put their hands on the Bible and take the oath that many before have taken. However, as the blue ties of the woke, progressive Obama and Biden administration exit and the red ties of the Conservative MAGA team take their place, we enter a new era of American exceptionalism. We should no longer feel shame in believing we are a great country that most of the world looks up to and, unfortunately, many others pledge to destroy. As Trump said, “January 25, 2025, is our Liberation Day.”

Watching the 4-square news screen this morning, I saw the diverse feelings about this day. Every person on FOX and most on the BBC was upbeat and enthusiastic about the transfer of power. Simultaneously, the unanimous disdain. MSNBC and CNN do not care about their catastrophic rating declines in the last year nor realize their audience does not want to hear their tainted rhetoric. They spoke about the darkness in the words and vision of our incoming President, and as Trump has said, our revenge and retort for this slanted view of the truth will be success and prosperity.

With his guidance, support, and efforts from the most impressive group of talent ever assembled by a president, Trump will complete his remarkable comeback and, with it, a renaissance of America. Unlike his first term, Trump enters the White House with the majority of support from every demographic of America. The dreams and aspirations of America were rekindled today at noon in the rotunda, which marks the center of our government. God Bless America.
