It’s startling to see some of the posts on my FB timeline today. Some people really believe that a day like today is a life changing experience that will make their lives better somehow. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen enough of them to know otherwise that it’s easy to just carry on like I always do.

Agree. I’ve never watched a presidential inauguration live. Some seem to act as if a president is a monarch or dictator. Some presidents also seem to think so as they use executive orders like laws but as we’ve seen with COVID, so do some state governors. For true checks and balances the courts and the legislature should have some form of authority to override a president or governor executive order.

First sunny day for a presidential inauguration in many years. Even nature is celebrating.

According to the media, roughly 74%.

Biden makes it sound like a massive population and no one sincerely thought there was voter fraud they just wanted to kill democracy.

Thank goodness for the mute button. I would have loved to see Lady "A" the Blues Singer from Seattle.

Now here was a great speaker. What a speech. Government isn't the solution, government is the problem.

So much beautiful Christianity in that den of atheists and perverted reprobates. Garth sang a beautiful song.
