House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had vowed to raise flags at the United States Capitol building to full staff for Donald Trump's inauguration.

However, the Wall Street Journal's Olivia Beavers brings word that this plan has hit a bit of a snag as "the cords are frozen" on the flagpoles due to cold temperatures, thus making raising the flags more difficult than initially expected.


Is Trump selling his crap from the stage (shoes, watches bobble heads). Wouldn't surprise me.

While I am glad to see the new President sworn in today, I do not believe that Trump's action/intended action regarding TikTok is legal. There is a law, the time period elapsed and the extension was not enacted by the current President, and I don't think we need the President--Biden or Trump--to try to use EOs to change laws. Any EO should work with the laws not try to negate them by proclamation.

The Courts will be busy...the blanket pardon of Hunter and all the others pardoned who were not charged, or convicted of, crimes needs to be challenged as does the TikTok action (if it happens)....

Liz probably thinks she can run in 2028. Watch her run as a Democrat!

It is almost impossible to challenge a Presidential pardon. The pardon power is absolute, the Prez answers to nobody on his pardon power AND SCOTUS ruled the Prez has immunity. Good luck with that. Let me know how that all works out for you.

I'm grabbing popcorn to see how the TT situation shakes out, as a disinterested bystander.

You can't challenge a pardon in Court, that is kind of the point.

Also, didn't Trump just say he is not going to focus on Hunter Biden stuff anymore because he wants to focus on healing?

And, TikTok was not banned by Executive order, it was banned via a (bipartisan) law passed last spring that finally went into effect, (and was upheld by the Supreme Court.) The law does allow the President to grant a 90 day reprieve to effected companies which is apparently what Trump is going to for TikTok (maybe already has.)

Melania was gorgeous in her flat black hat. Camel face on the other hand looked like she was wearing a jogging suit and her hair was all stringy. Her face had a permanent scowl attached to it. Imagine four years of looking at that, good grief. Joe Biden only looked confused about half the time which is pretty good for him. Anybody else notice that his eyes lit up when he saw the children of JD Vance right in front of him. What a sick old pervert.

What a change from 2017 when Melania Trump was totally ignored by the fashion industry. This time the top drawer designer who dressed her brags about it.


“The tradition of the presidential inauguration embodies the beauty of American democracy and today we had the honor to dress our first lady, Mrs. Melania Trump,” Lippes said in a statement. “Mrs. Trump’s outfit was created by some of America’s finest craftsmen and I take great pride in showing such work to the world.”

Did someone help Trump get his orange make-up on his entire face for the occasion?
