So, what are you doing on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025 at 12 noon?
I, for one, will be watching the most significant and historic presidential inauguration that has occurred in my half-century (or so) on this planet: the re-installment of Donald J. Trump as the now-47th President of the United States, and the mesmerizing Melania Knauss Trump as our First Lady. (I can’t wait to see what she wears! So sue me.)

This isn’t a historic event in the sense that Democrats like to throw the word around — to laud their ability to elevate people of certain immutable characteristics or proclivities to positions of power. No serious person gives a rip about that stuff.
No, this is a truly historic ripple in the timeline of human events. A man who has been so loathed, reviled, hunted, attacked, demeaned, even shot at, has beaten the odds and — for only the second time in U.S. history — been re-elected POTUS after an absence from the White House. Democrat Stephen Grover Cleveland served as the 22nd president of the United States (1885-1889), lost to Republican Benjamin Harrison in the 1888 election, and then returned as the 24th president (1893-1897). Now, Trump will have also two presidential terms — 45 and 47 — on his resume.
Trump’s team put out a video that captures the historical significance and consequence of his pending second term:
“HE WAS DONE FOREVER…”

Locally, I’m on the hunt for a good viewing party — in someone’s house, at a local bar, just somewhere to gather with others and cheer the moment when Trump is back in power.
