In just a few hours many of the treasonous bastiges that are currently ruining our country will be out of power. Trump and Company need to be diligent and ruthless to weed out the remainders. Our 4 year long national nightmare is almost over and now it is time to clean up the mess.
-
This is a fine looking group of people, a handsome Cabinet. It’s a huge improvement over the the prior freak show. Why is short guy Kash Patel hiding in the back ?
-
Is it just me or does RFK Jr look like a G.I. Joe action figure doll? 😀
FWIW; I like RFK Jr, his politics are a little too far left for me but he is honest and not a hypocrite. Also he is SPOT ON about the obesity and health crisis in this country.

I have a doctor’s appointment so I had to go out and clean one of the cars in order to drive. We got about 5 inches of snow, but it froze so hard last night, it is more like semi-solid ice.
-
Blessedly, it’s dry here, as it’s only 25 degrees and relatively wind-free…
-
There’s a red pill epidemic out there. If the quote isn’t clear, go here.
“I started reading @PirateWires and @micsolana and I thought he was a little crazy at first because he would write these articles, and one he wrote was about how the Ukrainian soldiers had swastikas on their helmets, and the NYT photographers would ask them to take the swastikas off for photos.”
“I said that can’t be true, and then four months later, it was in the NYT buried in the middle of the paper, and I kept seeing stories like that that he would be early on. So, I started feeling more uncomfortable and queasy with what was going on with mainstream media.”
-
I saw that. Coincidence that the color red is being used to identify truth?
-
-
lt seems strange to hear Tilman Fertita’s name among those who will be sworn in today…
-
Yeah, since I remember Tilman and his wife throwing a swanky, $4 million fund raising party in their Memorial backyard for Bill Clinton in the 1990s. The whole backyard was covered with air-conditioned tents.

Grifter?

27 here so I guess it could be worse. But it’ll be colder tomorrow and maybe some snow.
All I can say is that it will be good to have ADULTS back in the White House and I don’t just mean Trump but his cabinet. Trump has selected the best he could find for the job categories at hand. Unlike Biden’s menagerie of sad losers. His cabinet was totally inept, worse than Obama’s and that is saying a lot……Oh wait! there were some carryovers.
Mornin’ Gang -
One of the first day EOs getting signed is the revocation of the security clearances for the lying 51 intelligence operatives.

CIA ANALYST faced up to 20 years for leaking Israeli plans to attack Iran gets a sweetheart deal from the corrupt DOJ for a max 6.5 years.
IMHO he should be hung by the neck until dead as the proper punishment for treason.

My lovely Mrs is about to be assaulted with the uranusscope; she’s getting a colonoscopy.

Thanks for sharing….. 😀

-
Mornin’! A Monday we can enjoy!
Noting ever happens to anyone facing congressional grillings anyhow so I say we still have investigations into J6 committee members and Fauci.
-
Corrupt to the end. Not to mention incompetent to the end, too.
In what can only be described as Joe Biden’s Last Stunt, the outgoing president has issued what appear to be the final pardons of his one-and-done term. While declaring that no one should take the pardons as an admission of guilt, Biden issued full pardons to former NIAID head Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and every member of the House Select Committee on January 6. That includes Liz Cheney, whose actions on the committee had drawn some significant scrutiny in terms of potential witness tampering:
-
Fauci and the Jan6 Committee were all pardoned last night.
And Milley.-
Really?! I’m not surprised, but you don’t need a pardon ifin’ you’re not guilty. ~SPITS~

-
such a charming dealer you have there 😉
-
She is a cutie, she works the front of Publix Supermarket over in Enterprise. I have to be real careful when I go there. 😀
-
-
-
About Shannon’s @ 8:05 AM, Fauci and the Jan6 Committee pardon. Pardoned in the dead of night with the inauguration dominating the news cycle today……Figgers. Ran out of SPIT.
-
The scumbags can still be called to testify before a congressional investigation. If they lie there, they can and likely will be charged with perjury. Bidet’s parking can not reach into the future for crimes not yet committed.
-
Paraphrased-
Fauci: I committed no crimes!
Donald Trump Jr: You don’t have to accept a pardon.
-
Why is Amy Klobuchar getting into the Beast with Trump and Biden? Is it her day to babysit Biden? Does she also change his diapers?
-
Gov. Noem looking fine in baby blue.
-
Yup. 😉
-
-
Somebody must’ve locked up the Fire Marshall for a couple hours. 🙂 🙂
-
Where Algor? Big Mike?
Laura looking good.

In some manhole repairing the Internet.
-
Al may not have any friends left in D.C.

Watching Bill Clinton walk down that long hallway earlier, he’s clearly developed a bad back.
-
Justice DEI with the weird necklace.
Barron needs to play basketball.

That would be African doncha’ know.

Interesting open comments subject. Nothing about the naugahyde of Trump? Nothing about how Trump is going to sign some 200 hundred executing odors? Nothing about the hysterical impotence of this day? Nothing about the significance this is taking place on MiLK day?
-
Interesting open comments subject.
Sorry if I didn’t live up to your standards but suffering from constant atrial fibrillation can be totally exhausting, especially in the evenings. Maybe I can have an ablation procedure next month or even get a pacemaker. I’ll try to do better next time.

As the owner of this blog we expect nothing but your best even in the worst of conditions.

Oh joy. Drained the pipes last night the water is frozen at the inlet, Great start to the week.
-
Simple piano rendition of great old hymns.
Nice. -
Best dressed:
Ivanka Trump and J.D. Vance.
🙂-
Yup but during the whole inauguration the ladies in my family were texting back and fourth and they all agreed that Melania looked great and would single handedly bring back the Pill Box Hat. Reminiscent of Jackie O. 😀
-
-
Okay, how many jet fighters are swooping around overhead?
-
So begins Klobuchar’s run for the Presidency.
-
The basturd’s last act is to blanket pardon his family.
That is your legacy, you SOB.
-
Franklin looking like his old man.
-
Okay ya got what you wanted………… Trump.
-
I did notice that when the President said the military will no longer be a laboratory for bizarre social experiments, he turned to Hegseth and pointed, for emphasis.
Let it be so.
-
I caught that too. There is a lot of work to be done to reverse that damage.
-
-
HEY TEXPAT
-
I got it.
-
-
That helicopter looks enormous out there.
-
The kid in the cowboy hat….is he the one that shot the rioter in self-defense?
-
I don’t know but I don’t think it was Kyle Rittenhouse.

This is a long way from Wisconsin.

We interrupt this exciting post inauguration coverage to bring you Vintage Outboard Porn. Twin Towers of Power on a Magnum Marine Cat. Check out the 1:1 racing direct drive, (not reverse Or neutral). Be still my beating heart. 😉
-
And so begins Greg Abbott’s run for the Presidency.
-
Congratulations America. May you be blessed.
-
Thank you, good sir.
-
Thanks, we appreciate it. But could you come and get your weather? It’s drunk and stumbling around in my yard. 41 right now, bright N sunny. Downright deceiving when you first step out into it. 😉
-
Dave, what’s your beef – it’s 3:30 here and it’s all the way up to 36 😉

-
Gotta say, the coverage on YouTube from the joint congressional committee on inaugural ceremonies has been really good. The two “anchors” have not inserted one iota of opinion.
-
I’m sure she’s upset, but I get this exposition of emotion is also staged. I mean, did the holders of all those cell phones say “Wait a minute while I get the shot lined up”?
I see headline that the El Paso border is shut down.
’bout damn time.

HEEEE’S BAAAAAACK ☙ Monday, January 20, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS
You can imagine the tone of today’s post.
-
Two Bibles. That says something:
At noon, Vice President Vance will be sworn-in first, by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Vance’s hand will rest on a Bible his great-grandmother ‘Mamaw’ Bonnie gave him in 2003 when he left for Marines basic training. After that, Chief Justice John Roberts will swear in President Trump, and not merely on one Bible, but two—twice as many as other presidents!— a Bible his mother gave him in 1955 plus President Lincoln’s, from the 1861 Lincoln Inauguration, and used in Trump’s 2017 Inauguration.
But this time, everything is different, like Trump’s glowering presidential portrait. For another thing, Trump’s Transition Team has shown historic discipline — and nothing has leaked. Keeping the team’s offices located outside of DC must have helped, but the team worked flawlessly.
Due to the lack of leaks, corporate media lacks any idea how many executive orders Trump will sign immediately after his Inauguration (some at the Capitol, and then more at the Capitol One Arena). Whatever the number is, he plans to sign a lot. Headlines range from predicting “more than 50” (NBC) to “over 200” (a much more enthused Fox) — but it seems pretty clear it will be a record-setting number.

This isn’t Monday. It’s MAGADAY!

Melania looks so classy, I love her outfit. I find it despicable how she was treated by the mainstream women’s and fashion media, especially when they fawned over the tranny first lady and the meat puppet’s wife.
I hear that some designers are bragging today about outfitting certain folks.
My, how times have changed.
-
She can really pull of that look. Especially with the lid.

Ok Mother Nature we are making chili for the third time this winter, that’s the cap.

In Catholic news, we at Annunciation are on tenterhooks with the news that as soon as Cardinal/Archbishop DiNardo submitted the mandatory resignation letter today, his 75th birthday, it was accepted by pachapapa.
The fact that we still have a Latin mass in this diocese prolly wisses of the heretic of the Vatican.
IIRC, his replacement is the guy who kicked the very honorable, holy Bishop Strickland to the curb.
This doesn’t bode well for our parish and our conservative pastor.

A martini is made with gin, not vodka, stirred and not shaken, and the proper proportions would disappoint one’s grandfather. These days I go for two parts gin to one of vermouth; Derek favors equal parts of each.
They like theirs even wetter than I like mine. I’ve been at 3:1 for quite some time. I’ve also come to prefer Lillet in place of dry vermouth, but I won’t turn that down.
-
The article makes me want to go out and have a martini, but it is way too cold for that these nights. The other problem is I have no tolerance for it. If I drink one normal size martini, I’m not available to drive. They just knock me on my…
-
I haven’t bought any gin since Fay passed.
I figured out a long time ago that the only gins I like are the upper top shelf. Gin is too hard on my gullet any way.-
I love good gin, but Her Highness claims I get mean when I drink it. When I was a young man in my twenties, a fine gin and tonic was my drink of choice.
-
By the way, there are some excellent craft, small distiller gins out there priced pretty cheap. There’s a really good one made by some young guys in Minnesota. I’ll have to find the name.

It looks like Trump is purging the State Department.
IMHO, the State Department has been infested with commie-loving scumbags for at least 50 years.-
I think they’re self-purging.
-
I don’t think 20 senior level officials in State is near enough of a purge. They need to drive way down the totem pole in that cess pool if they want to make fundamental change happen.

-
Finish them off.

Fr. Mike Schmitz just dropped a truth bomb: “Every sin is an attempt to be happy — apart from God.”
Never thought of it that way, but it’s true.
-
More winning: Trump notifies U.N. that the U.S. is withdrawing from the Paris climate treaty
-
He said he would do it if elected, and he has done it. Yea. Our pockets are no longer open to financing huge amounts of our money for questionable U.N. projects. Thank You, President Trump.

Time for a claw back and an investigation into corruption.

The tiniest ice pellets lightly falling here west of the Brazos.

I thought the presentation and appearance of all the people in the Capitol ceremonies today was exceptional. The men looked, mostly, tall and handsome and the women were extraordinarily beautiful and fashionable. It was a very dignified crowd of remarkable folks and the contrast from the Biden freak show was stark.
-
Just a comment.
The Left and their stenographers and PR personnel, the legacy media, have had a hissy fit over Trump’s photo with half a dozen big tech billionaires – Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg et al. All of those guys opposed him, spent millions to defeat him and then he has them seated next to him like chumps. It is all about keeping your enemies closer and the powerful image of victory and alliance. Only the few get it.
-
Only the few get it.
And they never will.

Another note.
If you know the signs and have watched Elon Musk try to speak in public recently, you know he is on the autism spectrum. The high end of it, but nevertheless it’s there.
-
Specifically Elon Musk has Asperger’s Syndrome
-
Yep.
-
-
-
-
Yea, Sir.
-
-
I thought Trump was going to all these gala balls tonight, but I think he’s still up there signing EOs.
-
He finally finished signing.
Someone had the bright idea to have some of the press in the Oval Office asking questions while he was signing.
Asking dumbass questions.
He kept stopping and talking instead of signing.
Press would ask questions while his assistant was trying to explain what each EO was about. Really annoying.

Brain cancer, just hours before the swearing in.
Cecile Richards, a women’s rights crusader who served as president of Planned Parenthood as the nation approached a critical inflection point over reproductive freedom, has died, her family said Monday in a statement. She was 67.
Part of me is glad this baby killer is gone, but my Christian principles hope that she found redemption before moving on.
Because Hell is…Hell. In her version, I guess she’d be forced to see the faces and hear the cries of every “product of pregnancy” that she dismembered and sold for profit. Among other things.
-
He also signed an order revoking security clearances of former intelligence officials who signed a letter warning that the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 election “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” as well as the clearance for his former national security adviser, John Bolton.
Hallelujah and Amen.
-
One of the EOs is to say forget the fish, send water to southern California.
That should earn him a few friends in the elite circles.
-
He also:
Withdrew us from WHO. Good news.
-
Losing those security clearances makes those scumbags less employable in certain fields and companies.
Here’s hoping every one of them ends up on food stamps. -
Tiny wet flakes that melt, over here.
-
Sounds like sleet outside.

Pope picks some guy out of Austin to replace DiNardo…..Rev. Joe Vàsquez.
