1/20/2017 Friday, Day 1 Inauguration Day

60+ Democrats refuse to attend the inauguration and Congressman John Lewis claims that Trump is not a legitimate President. Lewis never shows up unless his side wins. He doesn’t understand. It’s not a ceremony of victory but of unity and resolve. So much for a show of unity and the peaceful transfer of power.

Members from a group called Disrupt J20 linked arms at security checkpoints along the parade route attempting to shut them down. There were occasional clashes with masked protesters throwing rocks at law enforcement. About a hundred rioters mostly dressed in black with their faces covered ran through the streets smashing windows. Rioting continued late into the afternoon.

Security consisted of nearly 28,000 personnel in Washington, D.C. 230 people were arrested and 217 were charged at the federal level with felony rioting. If convicted the penalty is punishment of up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Executive Order Minimizing the Economic Burden of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Pending Repeal. President Trump has allowed all agency heads to waive requirements of the Affordable Care Act to the “maximum extent permitted by law.”

Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies.

The president has frozen all regulations now in process (but not approved) until they are approved by him or an agency after he took office.

General James Mattis appointed Secretary of Defense 98 to 1

Katie Rich age 33, the writer of NBCs Saturday Night Live “Weekend Update” tweets “Baron will be this country’s first homeschool shooter” She has been suspended indefinitely. NBC and Universal Studios have been owned by Comcast since 2013.

General Motors cuts about 2,000 jobs at plants in Michigan and Ohio. The plan is to build the Chevy Cruz in Mexico after stating that they would build them here. Look for the media to jump on job losses in the auto industry in the future and blame it on President Trump. This is day 1.

1/21/2017 Saturday, Day 2

Sean Spicer makes a statement to the White House press corps addressing how the media will be handled when creating fake news and then leaves without answering questions. He seemed a bit agitated. Round 1 in the Official White House vs Media exchange goes to the White House.

Women’s March on D.C. included many other places including Paris and even Spokane, WA. Estimates of attendance are roughly 500,000. The Women’s March on Washington claims to be a grassroots effort comprised of dozens of independent coordinators at the state level. Their effort are helmed by four national co-chairs and a national coordinating committee.

“Welcome to the revolution of love. To the rebellion. To our refusal as women to accept this new age of tyranny.” “And to our detractors who insist this march will never add up to anything, f**k you. F**k you!”

*Madonna, 58 and probably a bit sad she missed out on the sixties anti – war, flower power, give peace a chance movement, smiles as she reads her statement “Yes I’m angry. Yes I’m outraged. Yes I’ve thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House….”

She certainly isn’t very good at actually reading a speech and without the music and glamour she received very little in the way of crowd reaction. She didn’t seem to know what she was reading. Afterword she backtracked about blowing up the White House and said she was taken out of context. Apparently the Secret Service are looking into it.

*Scarlett Johansson explains her experience of being pregnant at age 15 and going to Planned Parenthood.

* Natalie Portman “From the bottom of both hearts beating in my miraculous female body I want to thank the President. You just started the revolution!”

*Van Jones of CNN claims that we have to look out for the coal miners that are going to be thrown under the bus by Trump. He also stated “This movement will not let you mess with the Muslims, dreamers, women, Earth, Black Lives Matter.” “This movements based on that kind of love.”

But wasn’t it Hillary Clinton that laughed while saying that she was going to make a lot of coal miners unhappy? I’m sure I watched her say it and she was smiling about it.

*Alecia Keys reads a poem about the dreams and hopes of slaves rising up that then turns to women, hate bigotry, and then Muslim registries. It sounded incoherent, like something written by a child. This was a very sad spectacle. Then she turned it into a crowd chant and sang This Girl Is On Fire. This whole thing really looked more like a low budget pop concert with so many young smiling faces in the audience but I guess you have to get people to show up and “protest” somehow.

*Gloria Steinem “We remember the death of the future with Martin Luther King, with Jack Kennedy, with Bobby Kennedy, with Malcom X. Without those deaths for instance Nixon would not have been elected and there would not have been many of the wars we have had.”

Now I might be wrong but when Richard Nixon ran in 1960 didn’t John F. Kennedy claim the Eisenhower - Nixon administration had allowed the Soviet Union to overtake the U.S. in ballistic missiles? Relations were strained between the Soviet Union and China and border clashes occurred between the two during Nixon's first year in office, yet didn’t Nixon open diplomatic relations with Chairman Mao and China, and initiate détente SALT 1 and the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Brezhnev and the Soviet Union in 1972.

Didn’t Nixon end U.S. involvement in the war in Vietnam in 1973, bring home POWs, and end the military draft? He also lowered the voting age to 18. Perfect he was not but neither was he a war monger.

The only war started by President Richard M. Nixon was the war on drugs. He pledged to cut off supply from other countries and to increase educational and rehabilitation funding. There was also the desegregation of public schools, implementation of the first significant federal affirmative action program, support of the Equal Rights Amendment, and the fact that he appointed more women to administration positions than Lyndon Johnson had.

The beauty of writing, as I have just realized, is that I get to finish a thought without having to listen to anyone argue with their standard lame default “What about Watergate” interjections. Those are the people I want to have explain Watergate to me. Not because I don’t know, it was the only thing on TV for a while, but because I know that they don’t know, and I want to see them realize it. It’s funny to watch them stumble and fumble with their words when they suddenly realize there were no logical thoughts behind what they just allowed to come out of their mouths.

Yep Nixon made mistakes too, he then resigned and was pardoned. Some people cling to the past even though their battles were fought and won decades ago. Most of our nation moved on after the 60’s, Gloria Steinham never will. She needs something to rebel against.

*America Ferrera “It’s been a heart rending time to be both an immigrant and a women in this country, our dignity, our character, our rights have all been under attack and the platform of hate and division assumed power yesterday. But the President is not America we are America.” “We reject the dehumanization of our Muslim brothers and sisters” “We will not go from a nation of immigrants to a nation of ignorance.”

This is the United States of America not merely a part of the North American continent. This is the 32 year old child born in L.A. to parents from Honduras telling people her idea of what America is, her dreams and demands while stating that everyone who disagrees with her is ignorant and will not be accepted.

So much for diversity and inclusiveness. Maybe it’s because of the California sanctuary culture she was raised in, the “I’m entitled to be here culture.” This is a person who feels like she’s been treated poorly and unfairly in the U.S. It’s unfortunate to observe the ordinary youth of the U.S., and the world for that matter, trying to find themselves, direction, their role and place in life’s journey, looking up to their intolerant youthful peers whom have been fortunate enough to become wealthy in Hollywood. In 2007 Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. That’s kind of sad and scary in my opinion. She should consider staying with her father in Honduras.

*Ashley Judd - Wow this is a person who needs some serious help. She came out claiming to be a feminist. Proud to be nasty. I never knew how right she was. “And I didn’t know that the devil could be resurrected but I can feel Hitler in these streets. A mustache traded for a toupee. Nazi’s renamed the cabinet electoral conversion therapy the new gas chamber shaming the gay out of America turning rainbows into suicide notes. ”

For a feminist she sure didn’t act very feminine nor did she seem to have much respect for how she made women appear. She spoke with the cadence and intensity of a televangelist and she was certainly right about one thing. I have to admit it. I totally agree with her, she’s right nasty.

Why does Hollywood go unrecognized as part of the elite 1%. For some reason the millionaire news anchors, politicians, and TV and movie stars aren’t treated badly for being rich or the elite.

* Miley Cyrus - Look I listened to Ashley Judd isn’t that enough? We’re talking about a person who grew up as Hannah Montana on TV, then takes up music and takes off her clothes to swing around on a wrecking ball. Do liberals/democrats/socialist/progressive/anarchist really think they have the moral high ground? Is she the love child of Billy Ray Cyrus and Ashley Judd? Serious lack of parenting skills in my opinion. The sad thing is that I really feel like she wants to be taken seriously. She became popular through acting out her part on the show, now she’s just acting out.

Sadly young people who lack direction seem to look to their peers who most likely are equally lost and without a compass. Someone has to have an opinion and no one wants to argue or be left out, follow the leader. Sheep being led to slaughter.

*Cher - She showed up, hung out. Such a rebel. I thought she was moving to Jupiter. I remember her saying so.

Celebrities not only guarantee coverage of otherwise insignificant events, but also make them possible. The public knows that celebrities will be there so that all the little protesters show up in funky little double dimple pink hats, smiling faces, and carry hate filled signs to see their heroes, those they wish to emulate, rile them up with dreams of resistance and rebellion in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

In the nation which others risk their lives to create and protect there are hundreds of thousands these ungrateful citizen protesters, both men and women, which are against everything there is if it’s offered by President Trump. They are the rebellion, the new mindless resistance predicted in books and portrayed in so many movies and they thrive on the attention they are given by the media. They strive to get on the TV cameras. And of course, selfies galore! “Look @ me!” I’m popular because I’m on social media. Click Like if you agree.
