I spent most of the day Monday watching the proceedings of the 60th inaugural featuring President Donald J. Trump, and later that day we hosted a party with about 20 friends to celebrate his return to the White House.

We also celebrated the end of the interminable and disastrous cabal known as the Biden administration, arguably the worst and most corrupt “president” in American history—worse even than Jimmy Carter or Barack Obama. After issuing a slew of pardons and commuting death sentences for thousands of condemned criminals, Biden literally signed last-minute preemptive pardons for his criminal family, preposterously claiming that they had been unfairly targeted and were at risk for revenge from the incoming administration.

Biden wasn’t righting wrongs; he was flipping off American citizens and protecting his cronies on his way out the door as he exonerated Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney and other political scum who served on the J6 committee. The only upside is that now they can’t plead the Fifth Amendment if they are called to testify. And Congress should get busy putting them under oath to find out what they did and how deeply we are compromised.

All that to say that the word that describes the feeling most of us have is one of “relief.” A couple of our friends said separately to me that that’s how they felt. I certainly feel that. It’s like we’ve been granted a reprieve from the destructive forces that have taken over our most sacred civil institutions like government and education and system of justice.

Certainly, Trump feels like he’s been given a mandate to make America great again.

Trump has wasted no time, hitting the ground running with executive orders that begin to turn the ship of state around. A partial list from the NY Post:

• Withdraw from the Paris climate accord
• End all federal cases and investigations of any Trump supporters
• Revoke protections for transgender troops
• Pardon about 1,500 people criminally charged in the Jan. 6 attack, while commuting the sentences for six
• Declare a national emergency at the US-Mexico border
• Designate drug cartels and Tren de Aragua as foreign terrorist organizations
• Reverse several immigration orders from the Biden administration, including one that narrows deportation priorities to people who commit serious crimes, are deemed national security threats or were stopped at the border
• Rescind the 2021 Title IX order, which bans discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation in education programs that get federal funding
• Revoke Biden’s recent removal of Cuba from US state sponsors of terrorism list
• Order federal employees back to work in office five days a week
• Direct every governmental department and agency to address the cost-of-living crisis
• Restore freedom of speech and prevent censorship of free speech
• End the “weaponization of government against the political adversaries of the previous administration”
• Impose 25% tariffs on products from Mexico and Canada as of Feb. 1
• Reverse Biden order requiring 50% of new cars sold in 2030 be EVs
• Proclaim that there are two biological sexes: male and female
• End diversity, equity and inclusion programs within federal agencies
• Establish Department of Government Efficiency
• Reopen Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas exploration
• Order attorney general, secretary of state and secretary of homeland security to “take all appropriate action to prioritize” prosecution of illegal aliens who commit crimes
• Withdraw US from Global Minimum Tax agreement
• Order the attorney general to pursue the death penalty for killing of a law enforcement officer or any capital crime committed by an illegal immigrant
• Order the secretaries of commerce and the interior to restart efforts to route water from California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to other parts of the state
• Withdraw the US from the World Health Organization
• Order Treasury Department to explore creation of External Revenue Service
• Revoke security clearances for ex-national security adviser John Bolton and 51 intelligence officials who said Hunter Biden laptop bore “classic earmarks” of Russian disinformation.
• Declare the border crisis an “invasion” and order the attorney general and secretaries of state and homeland security to “take all appropriate action to repel, repatriate, or remove any alien engaged” in such
• Formally rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America” and Alaska’s Mt. Denali to “Mt. McKinley”

There’s more, but that’s a flavor of what he’s doing, and it’s all answering the call from the American people to close our border and end the woke nonsense that has consumed our culture for the last four years (and longer).

Yesterday, he also announced a half-trillion-dollar ($500 billion) investment in AI (Artificial Intelligence) data centers featuring a company called “Stargate” and tech investors Larry Ellison (Oracle CEO), Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO) and Masayoshi Son (Softbank CEO). Exactly what its purpose will be remains a bit unclear, but they talked about curing cancer and designing treatments for illnesses that might change your mRNA—which is what the clot shot did for Covid—setting off alarm bells in my mind.

As Ronald Reagan said, “Trust, but verify.”

We’re off to a good start. I’m sure we’ll have plenty to document as the Left tries to cope with all the winning and not be the hypocrites they are.
