But if you were hoping to listen to it, and you were watching MSNBC as the swearing-in happened, you would have been out of luck. Here's host Katy Tur saying they're going to be listening to the event and what Trump has to say, and then cut to an "expert" for commentary about the event. But then, suddenly, she shifts and essentially says, "Oops, we're not going to be listening. Sorry, folks! We're just going to 'watch'" — without letting the people hear the ceremony or any of the important things they might have to say.
Fashion and the arts have long sought to be transgressive, but the institutional capture of the arts by sartorial Marxists has turned offending the senses into a, well, art form. Things that normies think are weird — like Ella Emhoff’s attempt to turn armpit hair into a fashion accessory — are celebrated by the editors at fashion magazines precisely because they offend all of those normal people of small minds and small towns who voted for Trump.
See also: A freak with chest hair in a skirt and 2-inch nails got invited to the Biden White House to be a “Gen Z intern” for a day, and landed a spot in Vogue for it.
Then, on Monday, Melania Trump dared to show up looking not just not weird, but belligerently not so. With its intense lines and visor-like millinery, her no-nonsense costume would have fit well into the military-inspired trends of the 1940s. It reminded me of the impeccably dressed Nazi chick who fought Indiana Jones for the Holy Grail — a comparison which The New York Times would probably hold against Melania personally if they noticed it.
It’s true that most inaugural outfits tend on the conservative side, if for no other reason than the frigid January temperatures provide an incentive to cover up. (This year, Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez took advantage of the ceremony’s indoor nature to unburden herself of that limitation.) Like Melania, the other women in the presidential party were dressed in muted monochrome and simple, flattering silhouettes. The Trump women and Mrs. Vance — whose coat The Washington Post described as “1960s-ish” — all donned such classic looks that the Post declared they had put “the fashion in old-fashioned.”
The New York Times faulted Mrs. Trump for daring to look too regal, describing her look as “less elevated accessibility than British royal walkabout.” The Post had a similar critique of Ivanka, saying she “looked more like she was heading to a British royal’s wedding in the 1990s than a 2025 celebration of democracy.” How fascist and undemocratic of them!
And then there were the Inaugural Ball gowns. The six women onstage — Melania, Ivanka, Lara, Tiffany, and Kai Trump, and Usha Vance — painted a patriotic color palette with one in red, one in blue, and the rest in varying shades of champagne and white. //
Ivanka’s Givenchy reproduction of Audrey Hepburn’s famous gown in Sabrina was a literal throwback, but all the gowns, as the Times observed, “called to mind eras gone by” and nodded to the American “golden age” that Trump heralded in his speech earlier the same day. //
The Post’s fashion critic, who called Monday’s looks “largely devoid of glamour” and “stodgy,” compared the aesthetics of Trump’s second inauguration to those of Reagan’s second, which was also held indoors. Evidently forgetting that Reagan’s winning message that year was “Morning in America,” she wrote these two lines:
“The golden age of America begins right now,” Trump said in his inaugural speech.
Yet on the stages at inauguration events and on the streets of Washington, things looked less like a new future and a lot like the 1980s.
Clearly she has never met someone who grew up in the 80s, because they will all tell you it was America’s golden age. After more than eight years of hearing Trump’s famous slogan, these people are still missing what everyone else loves about it. The slogan’s fourth word exists because the people who say it believe America has already produced greatness, and they want to protect it from those who would give, explain, or deny it away.
“Style, for this second administration, is looking back,” she complained.
On that point, she’s kind of right. The coats, gowns, and hats on parade Monday brought back a refreshing dose of old-fashioned glamour and Americana. It’s a shame we can’t agree that’s a good thing.

The Arizona Republic @azcentral is calling the Bible that Congressman Hamadeh @AbrahamHamadeh sworn in on an "unconventional documents".
Unreal, the Bible is now considered an "unconventional documents" by the writers at the Arizona Republic.
11:36 AM · Jan 4, 2025
The "unconventional documents" were, in fact, the family Bible of the loved ones of Kayla Mueller, an Arizona humanitarian worker who was murdered by ISIS in 2015--something the Republic apparently is quick to wave away as unmentionable subject matter. //
A humanitarian worker from Arizona, Mueller was abducted by terrorists while leaving a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Aleppo, Syria, in 2013. She was held hostage for 18 months, when she was believed to be repeatedly tortured and raped by ISIS militants, including then-ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Mueller was killed in February 2015. //
As I take the oath of office, I am profoundly honored to fulfill my promise to the Muellers and the American people by being sworn into Congress using Kayla’s family Bible. It serves as a testament to her unwavering belief in light over darkness and freedom over oppression.
The liberal-left reaps what it sows. It was not merely Trump that was chosen. It was the not-Democrat, the option that wasn’t in power. A vote is a middle finger aimed to the sky. In the heat of all this, the liberal-left will have to recalibrate or dissolve. Radical chic is fading. The Hitler analogies are played out. So are the speech wars. They will have to, somehow, consider material conditions. This is never easy if you’ve never lived anything close to a precarious life. Harder, still, if you’ve allowed condescension and indignation to become the pillars of a worldview. The smug never inherit the Earth. If only the Bible printed this, or someone took it to cable television in time. Much grief could have been saved.
The smug never inherit the Earth.

As reported by The Federalist's Elle Purnell, there's a movement arising of individuals all over the country who are choosing to forego gathering with loved ones around the Holiday season and choosing, instead, to focus on themselves by giving them a self-care day: //
To be clear, there was no explicit socio-political reason given. It was just the stress of doing things that focus on arranging, scheduling, and being with others. The thing is, modernity and all the ideals and trends that come with it are primarily leftist, as modernity is driven by corporate tastemakers and slacktivists.
And if there's one thing leftism promotes, it's isolation.
Ideological isolation is one of leftism's biggest demands. You cannot think thoughts outside the body politic, you can't ask questions that would challenge approved ideals, and if anyone breaks from the approved boundaries they must be ejected. You must close off your mind to anything outside the boundaries. //
The "do what feels good" approach to life has contributed to an inordinate amount of people obsessed with their mental health, as anything that doesn't feel good becomes a stressor, and stress is a sin in the modern world. Stress-reduction is a billion-dollar industry, and I'm not just talking about the pharmaceuticals that promise to reduce it. Therapies of all varieties have sprung up, all of which promise to reduce your stress.
All of this has created a culture of "me," and people are willing to abandon loved ones and go into isolation in the false hope that it will relieve their stress and improve their "mental health."
If you peel it all back, you'll see the self-care industry is just that — an industry. Corporations love for you to spend time and money buying things to help you focus on yourself. As I said, it's a billion-dollar industry, but ultimately, this is harmful to the mind and soul. Isolation is not healthy. //
People who are lonely are also more susceptible to illness. Researchers found that a lonely person's immune system responds differently to fighting viruses, making them more likely to develop an illness.
Selfishness is literally unhealthy, both mentally and physically.
Family matters, friends are a lifeline, and isolation due to it being a kind of stressful to travel or deal with relatives is not doing yourself any favors.
Trump campaign lawyer Jim Troupis, who helped guide the alternate electors plan, spoke publicly for the first time as AG files more charges.
The day before the contentious 2020 election, Jim Troupis ranked among the most respected attorneys in Wisconsin. Two years after he represented President Donald Trump in his Badger State election challenges, Troupis says he couldn’t find a lawyer to write his estate plan. A lot of the friends he worked with over his distinguished legal career disappeared faster than a lawsuit against a prosecutor.
“Nothing had changed, I had simply represented Donald Trump,” Troupis told conservative talk show host Vicki McKenna Tuesday afternoon. “This has been unbelievably painful for me and my family.”
The pain got worse Tuesday as Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a highly partisan Democrat with higher political ambitions, announced more criminal charges against Troupis, fellow Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro, and Trump campaign official Michael Roman. The three men are caught up in Kaul’s politically driven electors prosecution, a last-ditch effort to try to lock up allies of President-elect Trump and send a message that the left’s scorched earth lawfare campaign is far from over.

Newsweek reports woman are getting sterilized and men are getting vasectomies in response to Trump winning.
The people who oppose putting America first are having less babies and less abortions.
The winning just keeps on winning.
11:46 PM · Nov 30, 2024. //
These five women are a testament to the power of propaganda. They firmly believe that Trump will take away their access to abortion. How will they feel in four years when they realize they’ve been lied to all along?
Ironically, one lesson from this election is the danger of both the press and pundits in becoming increasingly out of touch with most of the country. The shock expressed by many is due to a lack of exposure to opposing views — not the need for further ideological isolation.
That cathartic effort is evident in many subscribers who are now boycotting the Washington Post and MSNBC. MSNBC contributor and Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin appears to support such efforts. Rubin is an avowed Marxist. Groucho Marxist, that is. Marx famously said, “I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.” -- Jonathan Turley //

.@ScottJenningsKY: But isn't the issue that the left has gotten so used to controlling almost all institutional information distribution arms in this country that when one little piece of it, whether it's @X or MSNBC or anything else gets taken away, the panic is so outrageous?
8:59 AM · Nov 26, 2024
Technology evolves and with it society evolves. It's been a tale as old as time, from the discovery of fire to the telegraph, humanity has changed alongside its discoveries and inventions. X opened up a completely new path for humanity that changed things radically and quickly. Many people are still catching up to these changes, as the shift hasn't been fully realized.
But a shift did happen, and the Democrats are behind on it, and because they're behind on it, you're now seeing an emperor with no clothes. They're nakedly lying in an attempt to manipulate you. You can now see their abuse of you in real time. They're exposed as the frauds they are, with no media protection available.
The new media is you. It's the citizenry. It's the people that don't run in elite circles. It's you and me.
And this is a fantastic development. Information should never be controlled by one overarching entity, as that will always lead to corruption. You can see just how corrupt things were right now as Democrats like AOC continue to operate in the old way.
But this is the new era. //

Scott Jennings Pulls Hilarious Reversal During Argument About X With Fellow CNN Panelists – RedState
The report Jennings referred to was one last week. CNN admitted that X represents voters in the U.S. "far better" than ever before.
"The party ID among those who regularly use X/Twitter for news — back in 2022, 65% of those who regularly used Twitter/X for news were Democrats," said the CNN reporter. "Just 31% were Republicans.""Look at where we are today. Just a completely different picture. Now it's basically split between Democrats at 48%, Republicans at 47%."
"Now, this new overall makeup, matches the overall electorate FAR better," he continued. //

Here is the problem with Dems in a nutshell. It would be OK for Bill Gates to own a big media platform because he's "sane." While I am glad that Musk saved free speech from the Left's censorship regime, I am very skeptical of ANY billionaire having that kind of influence. Lord Acton said it best: power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The difference between Dems and us is that they don't understand human nature. We know--correctly--that humans regardless of their politics are frail, weak and often succumb to temptation. That's why we believe in limiting government as much as possible. //

Liberals loved Twitter before Musk bought it because it served as their own little echo chamber. Now that it isn’t and they’re encountering pushback from conservative viewpoints, they’re fleeing it for other media and apps. That tells you a lot about liberals and the intellectual heft of their ideas.

Leftists who lose the argument in the public square don't try to make a better argument or be more convincing, they just go behind the scenes and try to open trapdoors under their opponents. Illuminating about how much they actually believe in their own arguments.
Conservatives try better arguments.
REPORTER: I noticed that when you urge people to action, you often include the word 'peacefully.'
PRESLER: Peacefully
REPORTER: Is that to avoid another Jan 6 type incident?
PRESLER: With all due respect, it's to avoid people like you guys saying that I'm anything but. My motto is to just be super cute, have my data and facts, treat everyone with love and respect, and as you can see, an army of people will follow.
The bias was displayed before the reporter even got the question out of her mouth. Notice that the chyron refers to Presler as a "controversial activist." I'm struggling to determine what is controversial about legally registering people to vote. Is it the reaching out to the Amish part? Or just the fact that it helped Trump win Pennsylvania, which no doubt, CNN finds very controversial? //
I remember when Stacey Abrams, who refused to concede her 2022 election loss to Brian Kemp, was pushing disinformation on voting machines. Her get-out-the-vote organization was also caught up in a scandal, eventually being shut down. Has CNN ever described her as "controversial" in her many appearances on the network? Of course, not.
But they apparently weren't done yet. They hit the trifecta on Friday when they had to, for the third time in a week, read legal notes, and this time, they had to do it four times in a single show. //

1:52 PM · Nov 22, 2024
In a grotesque display of utter disdain for America and its citizens, MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos wrote an article entitled "Laken Riley's Killer Never Stood a Chance," in which he argues that Jose Ibarra, the violent, remorseless thug who took Laken Riley's life, "apparently had no chance with the judge" who found Ibarra guilty and sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
It's the sentencing that seems to have gotten under Cevallos's skin and led to that headline. The judge decided that Ibarra should serve his numerous convictions consecutively and not concurrently, meaning Ibarra will never again be a free man. Deservedly so. Based off that hideous headline, however, it's easy to conclude that Cavallos, and, indeed, MSNBC, think Jose Ibarra should get out of prison someday and live a life of freedom, something that has been denied Laken Riley. //
It's not the merits of the case that's the point here; it's the sentiment of the media as embodied by MSNBC and that sick headline that's the true story. Illegal alien Jose Ibarra, though undeserving, got the very best of the American judicial system, and he received the verdict he so richly deserved. But MSNBC's takeaway is that the U.S. is not doing nearly enough for the illegals who are wreaking havoc on our society.
As this article's own headline says, the media hates you far more than you hate them. //
This crime should never have happened. Jose Ibarra should have never been here, and Laken Riley should be, at this very moment, getting ready to spend Thanksgiving with her loving family. Shame on MSNBC for their terribly bad take.

The lady at the bakery clearly knows who Goldman is, which suggests that she is a longtime customer. If so, any political issues would have come out years ago.
Goldman is lying. Again.
In my estimation, Elon Musk is easily one of the most influential people in Western Culture, equal to, if not more so, than Donald Trump. He is a man who is taking us into the future by rectifying quite a few problems here in the present, be that our lagging behind on becoming a space-faring species, or the fight against censorship and the protection of our human right to free speech.
Musk's business and ideological aims align with the right, and as it so happens, that's the side Trump is on, and so logic would follow that Musk and Trump, two men of vast influence and vision, would find themselves allied and working together. //
But if you take a step back and look at what Musk is actually stating, you'll start to realize that the influence they think Musk is spreading isn't his. He is not the source, merely a recipient like many other people.
In truth, Musk was, like many other people in the Western world, "red-pilled" by experience, leftist incompetence and hatred, and a drive for success that was being hampered by leftist entities. //
Take, for example, this post he made on Tuesday where he was commenting on the head of NPR, Katherine Maher, and her infamous words about the need for censorship.
“I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done,” Maher told a crowd during a speech.
This prompted Musk to ask a simple question.
"Should your tax dollars really be paying for an organization run by people who think the truth is a 'distraction,'" he asked. //
There is no ignoring Musk like they ignore us, but Musk is just saying what we're saying, and if they hate what he has to say that much, then what does that say about their attitudes toward you?
It has been a real eye-opener to watch the left go from smug confidence that Kamala was preordained to be the 47th president of the United States to the depth of despair as Donald Trump racked up 312 electoral votes and a popular vote victory to become the first president since Grover Cleveland to be elected to non-consecutive terms.

So, what caused this seismic shift? A sane person would say that the Democrats suffered from a spectacularly horrible candidate, a repulsive agenda for America, or both. But if you are a Democrat activist, you blame "right-wing media." //
Michael Tomasky, the neo-communist editor of The New Republic, has the same view. Trump won because right-wing media overpowered the truth. //
It's really hard to know where to start on this bullsh**. To a large degree, conservative media has emerged organically because we were shut out of mainstream media. It is very difficult to find anything more than a token center-right voice on any of the networks, major papers, or cultural magazines. The Atlantic fired the pseudo-conservative Kevin Williamson. The New York Times staff ran Bari Weiss off, even though she was only mildly conservative depending on the sunspot patterns. NBC fired Megyn Kelly. My old blog project, RedMaryland, had a deal to provide a mainstream conservative viewpoint to the Baltimore Sun's editorial page, we were booted thanks to a faux issue drummed up by Media Matters. Movies like Matt Walsh's "What is a Woman?" (see This May Be the Most Absurd, Telling Exchange in Matt Walsh's 'What Is a Woman?') and "Am I a Racist?" (see Matt Walsh's 'Am I Racist' Uses Major DEI Figures to Expose and Lampoon It As the Racist Grift It Is) get no media promotion. Leftist media continues to dominate ratings. //
The real question is, how can so much leftist media have so little impact on political discussions?
As Stephen Miller observed, Rogan is not conservative. Jordan Peters is not conservative. Our YouTube and Rumble channels rely on viewers, not George Soros or some other leftist billionaire, to survive. Here at RedState, if you don't read us, we don't get paid. //
What makes us different than the media owned by the left is that we deeply believe in what we write, and monied interests don't control us. Our writers and influencers are not a collection of paid-for twinks. The extremes to which the Biden administration went to silence us through coopting Meta and pre-Elon Musk Twitter gave us credibility that no leftist outlet will ever have because it demonstrated that the establishment feared our message. The authenticity of our message cuts through the clutter because it has the ring of truth.
The left can't compete because they don't have very many ideas, and those ideas they have cut against human freedom and autonomy. But if Kamala can drop a billion is leftist money on a losing election, those same donors can drop another building out another version of Air America radio network. //

Trump has said that he never campaigned for the popular vote, he campaigned for the EV. Trump said he would win the popular vote if he campaigned for it.

One extremely beneficial side effect of Trump campaigning in 'Deep Blue areas' like NY, NJ, and the like, is the massive swing in Legislative districts across the entire state(s) towards the GOP. While US House incumbents are very hard to displace, as typically only 5-10% get removed from Office each election cycle, one of the biggest issue is for them to face strong opponents in Primary and General Election. Many Democrat incumbents face a lackluster GOP candidate, as no Strong one wants to spend over a year in a losing battle. I believe that the recent GOP gains can free up dozens of Conservative GOP members to 'take the plunge' and decide to run for US House against Democratic incumbents. The MSM general consensus that Legislative GOP candidates supporting Trump were damaging their campaign has been shown to be untrue, as exhibited by dozens of DEMOCRATIC legislators in October and up to Election Day putting on ads describing how they 'Voted with Trump'. //

Donald Trump 'lost the popular vote' in 2020 due to the Democrat machines that control the vote counting process in EVERY SINGLE ONE of the LARGEST PRECINCTS in EVERY SINGLE ONE of the Swing States in which they are located and in which ALL of them contributed OUTRIGHT counterfeit ballots and the ballots of ineligible voters to the election totals.
ANYONE who actually believes that Joe Biden received 81,000,000 votes is either a total Democrat toady or dangerously delusional.
This time, however, due to the depth and breadth of Trump's MASSIVE victory in which he had gains in EVERY SINGLE STATE but Washington State was simply too big to rig. That fact, combined with more diligent control over the vote counting process made Trump's victory an inevitibility. //

Eff the Enemedia. They are becoming more and more irrelevant.
According to the Media Research Center, after analyzing the corporate news landscape for a time, MRC found that it set a new record in terms of lopsided coverage. Not only did it prop up Kamala Harris with positive news coverage by unforgivable amounts, it focused on painting Trump as the villain with negative news coverage even more:
One week before Election Day, a new analysis from the Media Research Center finds that broadcast evening news coverage of the 2024 presidential race has been the most lopsided in history. Since July, ABC, CBS and NBC have treated Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris to 78 percent positive coverage, while these same networks have pummeled former Republican President Donald Trump with 85 percent negative coverage. (See Methodology explanation at the end of this post.)
The difference in coverage between the two candidates is far greater than in 2016, when both Trump and then-challenger Hillary Clinton received mostly negative coverage (91% negative for Trump, vs. 79% negative for Clinton). It’s even greater than in 2020, when Joe Biden was treated to 66 percent positive coverage, vs. 92 percent negative for Trump. //
