The day has finally arrived. Today is inauguration day for President Donald Trump to be sworn in at Noon as the 47th President of the United States of America.
Inauguration day is always filled with historic images and this one is going to be epic. We have all worked hard to see this day come to fruition. Our prayers are filled with thankfulness to God for his divine providence. Let us all celebrate together.
RSBN will be covering the events live all day, and we have links below to their broadcast as well as the general schedule for events that will take place throughout the day.
SCHEDULE – Monday, Jan. 20: Inauguration Day
Before the day’s ceremonies, an open, non-partisan service will be held at the St. John’s Episcopal Church in downtown D.C. After that, Donald and Melania Trump are set to head to the White House for tea with President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. Traditionally, the sitting president then escorts the incoming president to the Capitol.
♦ Around 9:30 a.m.: Live music, including Carrie Underwood’s performance of “America the Beautiful,” and opening remarks will begin on the West Lawn of the Capitol building.
♦ 12 p.m.: In line with the Constitution’s assertion that the transfer of power happens at exactly noon on Jan. 20, President Trump will take the presidential oath during the swearing-in ceremony. The swearing-in ceremony is traditionally when we should also expect President Trump to deliver his inaugural address. This year the event takes place in the Capitol Rotunda.
Things get a little confusing in sequence because President Trump previously announced. “We will open Capital One Arena on Monday for LIVE viewing of this Historic event, and to host the Presidential Parade. I will join the crowd at Capital One, after my Swearing In.”
A little after 12 p.m.: The official farewell and ceremonial departure of the former president and vice president. Typically, they leave in a helicopter.
Then comes the president’s signing room ceremony, during which the president, accompanied by aides and members of Congress, heads to the president’s room off of the Senate chamber and signs nominations, memorandums, proclamations, or executive orders.
Next is the JCCIC congressional luncheon at the Capitol’s Statuary Hall, which is attended by the president and vice president and their guests, Senate leaders and members of JCCIC.
After lunch, the new president and vice president head to the east front steps of the Capitol for the president’s review of the military troops.
Around 3 p.m.: The presidential parade normally kicks off on Pennsylvania Avenue and proceed to the White House. The procession includes ceremonial military regiments, citizens’ groups, marching bands and floats. However, this could be when President Trump heads to Capitol One Arena.
After this, President Trump returns to the White House for the Oval Office signing ceremony. Finally, President Trump and First Lady Melania will attend and deliver remarks at three separate balls: the Commander in Chief Ball, the Liberty Inaugural Ball and the Starlight Ball.

Clicked on network news for the first time in years. First 2 sentences were about the attempted govt overthrow 4 years ago. Clicked off.
You’re not missing anything.
RSBN on YouTube and CSPAN have good coverage without the standard BS..
I’m watching it on Real Americas Voice/ Pluto TV. I cut the cable 20 years ago. 🤷♀️
Let me guess – CBS?
Did the same thing, think it was Major Garrett talking. Ended up going to Fox with the sound off, just to watch the people enter. The body language is really something.
I would have pardoned Satan before Fauci, Milley and the J6 Select Committee.
Why pardon someone when they did nothing wrong? Something is definitely wrong with the establishment.
Don’t be surprised if Satan got a pardon, too.
Satan is the true “Big Guy” that Hunter, Fauci, Milley, etc work for.
It’s puppets all the way down.
They are Satan. That’s why they went so hard going after and trying to damage or stop Trump.
They may as well wear a neon sign with the letter “G.” A “C” for Liz.
So what we all suspected of them has been affirmed.
Thank you Joey.
He’s part of that group. I’m sure he was included.
They have to admit to the crime for the pardon to be valid. Pardons are only applicable to federal crimes, they are not applicable to state crimes nor civil lawsuits. So if they accept the pardon they are admitting that they committed a crime and the door would be open still for state crimes such as murder, manslaughter for Fauci and his Mengele cohorts. Plus all of them can be sued, pardons do not eliminate civil lawsuits.
One of the reasons the left apparatchiks tried to pin crimes on Trump in NY and GA was IMO because they were state level and out of the reach of pardons. The same script can now be used against the J6, Fauci, Milley if they committed a crime at the state level they are not shielded by the pardons and can be prosecuted.
That is what Trump said over and over if they, his adversaries, broke a law then they should be prosecuted. Equal under the law not retribution like the demo-fascists imply.
He did pardon Satans lttle helper. The McCord troll.
He needs to ask Joe why the latest blanket pardon for Milley, Fauci, Liz Cheney, the J6 committee, and Capitol police.
Dollars to doughnuts he won’t know.
fwiw
No pardon yet for Mayorkas, James Biden, and Joe Biden?
But one for the murderer of Ashli Babbitt.
Biden thought he was signing off for a study on Milley, Fauci, Liz, and the J6 committee…
I do not like Melania’s hat…you cannot see her face.
I think it’s classic!!
Oh absolutely!!!
Elegance through style which is timeless.
I love the hat, but it does hide lovely her face. What I don’t like is the purple people eaters outfit 🤣
and why does Mr Trump wear a purple tie today versus his famous RED…I don’t understand. Melania is very understated. I wanted a much more statement outfit
She might be wearing a bullet proof vest, or at least I think she was yesterday, so she has to wear things that work with the bulk.
Yes both are wearing Kevlar.
Maybe she is saying that the very serious people are back, well prepared and ready to get things back in order.
Throughout history purple has been known as the color of royalty.
Look at this choice to be among the many things being restored with this restoration to office of President Trump are the little things being restored – such as colors that various groups attempted to hijack.
At first I didn’t like it, but after thinking about it I’m happy to see i because maybe the purple is a way of saying “we won.” They tried to make purple the color of the dems. He has now made the royal color his/ours.
Is that a Death sentence on a day like this after the last few years? Stop it
Thank you.
It is the appropriate hat to wear in Church
I’m surprised by the black color? or is it navy blue?
Not that it’s bad, but she looks so stunning in color, all colors.
Today’s outfit is like the absence of color- which I felt sorta disappointed by at first glance.
That light power blue outfit she wore last time was so stunning, it was almost a periwinkle color – the color totally made the outfit.
I was expecting to be even further dazzled today and found myself saying “where is the color??”.
Not complaining, I’m just surprised.
me too … disappointed in her outfit. Vances wife outdressed her for sure over the whole weekend. I’m underwhelmed
You’re surely something.
It’s navy blue – symbolism of professionalism, stability, reliability, trust, loyalty, wisdom and confidence. Excellent choice for the beginning of this next four years for Mrs. Trump.
with the white accent and underlying collar – purity, simplicity, honesty, new beginnings.
She really does know her clothing symbolism.
The real reason Melania Trump wore THAT inauguration hat? It has an extraordinary backstory and in fact has fashion insiders left gasping today. Apart for the significance in style and symbolism it statement is in support of PDJT’s supporting all American industries. First Lady Melania Trump has taken her stance for “Made in America”.
The powder-blue, pale suit dress that Melania Trump wore for her husband’s first inauguration – a custom design by Ralph Lauren – drew immediate comparisons to Jackie Kennedy. Her hair, swept up loosely into a decidedly 1960s chignon, framed a smiling face as she evoked, through fashion, a golden age of political idealism. At first glance, Melania, 54, seems to have paid homage to the traditions required of First Ladies at inauguration.
This time round, things were decidedly more nuanced.
First of all it is American made; hand-sewn in NY City by the niche, but far from cut-price, American designer Adam Lippes.
Melania’s boater – by another American designer, Eric Javits – completed the striking ensemble.
Not since Hillary Clinton, in 1993, has a First Lady opted for an inauguration-day hat, adding not only a touch of the theatrical to Melania’s ensemble but almost entirely obscuring her eyes.
For a woman known for her love of sunglasses, perhaps this was the next-best choice on a day when the entire world would be watching her.
She eschewed her favored European labels (despite having opted for both Dolce & Gabbana and Dior at the various pre-inaugural festivities), and shone a spotlight on two designers whose relatively unknown labels might now find a sudden uptick in sales thanks to this presidential patronage.
In a statement released Monday morning, Lippes said it had been an ‘honor’ for his New York atelier to dress Melania for a tradition that ’embodies the beauty of American democracy’, and that her outfit was the product of ‘America’s finest craftsmen’.
Javits, too, sounded off proudly about his hand-crafted creation, which he had made himself (only eight percent of the hand stitching on the hat was machine-sewn).
‘No other hands touched it… prior to Herve [Pierre, Melania’s personal stylist] and the First Lady receiving it,’ he said.
There was plenty of praise for the ‘Made in America’ ensemble – and a collective gasp from fashion commentators surprised that the new First Lady had been able to find American designers willing to kit her out. (Many achingly liberal and somewhat snobbish brands have declined to work with Melania ever since her husband launched
his political career).
Of course, in order to locate these two designers for Melania, Herve Pierre had to wonder far from the boutiques of Madison Avenue (one of which had famously once turned him away at the door) and think outside the box of an American fashion world still dominated by the not-so-subtle disapproval of Democratic doyenne and Vogue editor, Anna Wintour.
Adam Lippes – whose only free-standing store is a small studio-style showroom in the luxury fashion mall, Brookfield Place (near the One World Trade Center) – is a relative newcomer and certainly not part of the elite club of the New York fashion world.
Eric Javits is even farther removed. A supplier of headwear and straw accessories to Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom, he is currently Miami based. And that proximity to Mar-a-Lago meant that Herve was able to hand deliver the finished product to Melania in Palm Beach.
That’s an odd comment on a day such as this.
Well, Bezos’ wife is dressed like a stripper, so there’s that…
More a reflection on him, than her, that he requires his women to dress like, well, it begins with a w and sounds like ‘more’.
Very classic look. Reminds me of Grace Kelly.
I love it! Very classy.
I love it; Class refined as pure gold.
I put it on Fox, not terrible so far.
I shear NYC Mayor Adam’s got a last minute invite this am and is headed down. Good.
PDJT needs to pardon Adams and Menendez: they got political prosecutions too.
I don’t remember Reagan’s 2nd inaugural, but I think I’m going to like this arrangement a little better. Just like sporting events, the best seat in the house is watching the live feed.
Fox showed the Nebraska choir singing and it sounded amazing!!
They finally went hard after Menendez because he was low-hanging fruit and used him to try and demonstrate that their targeted, selective contrived and purely political prosecutions of Trump were somehow even-handed.
The 0bamites also hated Menendez because he spoke out against their disgusting attempts to embrace and reward the Castros and Communist Regime that runs Cuba.
Nevertheless, Menendez has been a slimy crook for DECADES and was sacrificed as part of the Stalinist attempt to “Get Trump”
I say, screw Menendez.
All of DC is slimy. He didn’t do anything Biden or the “favorite” son hasn’t done.
I’d prefer the message and middle finger than “getting” 1 of 535.
Fox commentator desperate to push how smooth the transition is. Seems to ignore all the sabotage and pardon stunts the Dems are trying to pull. Word I get from some involved is the other side is doing everything they can to obstruct.
Pro tip-Don’t watch the Faux News coverage. It will damage your mental and emotional health.
Follow the RSBN link that Sundance has provided us.
God bless Sundance!
RSBN’s coverage is disappointing. No access inside, unless I’m missing something.
I am watching inside on RSBN
I tried it first, but Fox has better video.
It hasn’t been horrible, I’m sick of everyone referring to our “democracy” though. We are a democratic republic, not 50% +1 mob rule.
They don’t identify people as much though. I like to know who is who that I don’t recognize.
Indeed!
Not the day for color commentary from dark souls.
Good news with the pardons…now call them all into congress to testify under oath in detail about all the things they did. They can honestly confess or commit perjury. Which will they choose? Biden pardons should be held against any and every person who enabled and supported his fraudulency.
Not congress/ congress is toothless. Can we bring them to court instead?
They could be subpoenaed as witnesses in someone else’s trial. As long as they themselves are not charged with anything, they’d have to testify or be found in contempt.
They can still lose all government pensions and federal benefits for wrong doings while employed.
Not the same as they rot in prison as they should but still something of a small punishment.
I predict a lot of, “I don’t remember” answers…
I don’t remember, my mind’s in a blender, it’s jello . . .
Damn Boehner, McCarthy in Rotunda.
Makes me ill and hostile.
WHY????
Laura/GWB…likely repulsive.
Turned from Fox, have pudgy Rove and Perino. WHO wants to listen to them?
Ignore the evil UniParty monsters.
Focus on the mercy of a Loving God and the miracle He has blessed us with.
What about Pence w/o The Karen?
O happy, happy day!! Tears of gratitude and joy!!
Ain’t that the truth!!
I feel like I’m floating. The horror of the last four years is slowly melting. What a change from last time in terms of all the people who now want to get into the action!
Woo woo!!!
TRUMP DAY!!!!
We made it to today. Congratulations to President Trump and Vice President Vance. Happiness to all of us. This day was long in coming but worth remembering as a tale for the following generations.
Burdick v. United States, 236 U.S. 79 (1915):
A pardon carries “an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it.” This is more likely dictum, as the case involved the rejection of a pardon, not its implications.
The case as about a man who had been pardoned, and was then called to testify about a matter covered in the pardon. He wanted to take the Fifth, but was told he couldn’t. But he could reject the pardon.
A Catch-22 situation.
For those who so deserve to be under fire.
Though a 22 is a bit weak for the task at hand.
Perhaps more holes is the appropriate and more satisfying route?
Extended time for final reflection and possible repentance?
IMO, a pardon should never be allowed for cold blooded murder.
I wonder if the pardons by Biden are even constitutional. Didn’t the Founders intend for the pardons to be for charged and convicted individuals, rather than a blanket immunity prior to any convictions? Has that ever been challenged in the Supreme Court?
RICO gets them all…
All the way to the big guy…
There’s no walking away from this one,
Gavin.
Trust God.
Fear not.
I don’t believe it’s ever been done.
We’ll see what happens.
God Bless America.
We have waited 4 years for today.
War Room is blaming some of the reason the 250,000 tickets for the live event, with another maybe 750,000 all
around the area on the Bannon Regime & the Mayor of DC not supplying enough protection.
No conspiracies, but no coincidences.
The issue, according to Dan Bongino who was extremely concerned that the Secret Service was not able to protect Trump, truly is the inability to protect our real President from attack from above.
Perhaps it was more that there would be a mass casualty event. I think that is a big part of it as well.
I don’t know what is but we are being deprived of the awesome pageantry. The Parade.
We’ll get past this. The most important thing is PDJT will begin signing executive orders IMMEDIATELY.
Is there anything Trump can’t do?
He got Zuckerberg, Bezos, Rogan, and Rupert Murdoch to come to church.

Shame he didn’t get Gates.
They could have just swept up his ashes after the service.
Trump, Melania arrive at St. John’s Episcopal Church ahead of inauguration
Melania outfit has a feel like Ingrid Bergman in the movie Casablanca. Very stylish.
Such a wonderful day!! Does anyone know how I find Retitiger’s Jan 6 2017 explanation? I tried to search but got nothing. Thanks in advance.
If you are looking for comments from 2017 on CTH… looks like they weren’t retained online. I’m curious about what exactly is the info you seek… like, explanation of Congress certifying the election votes? Or, a specific thing about J6 in 2017.
Regitiger broke the code on the why of the Fedsurrection, why Pelosi constructed the events to permit her to invoke special emergency rules that she had previously created to permit her to make impossible the normal Constitutional procedures for states to issue objections to the certification that were announced and in progress by several states, but she cut them off before they could be entered into the record.
She thusly thwarted months of preparations to save us from an illegitimate Communist tyranny, and did so in a fashion that ensured that nothing was entered into the Congressional record that could have sufficed to bring suit in court over the matter.
Pelosi is as evil, and as culpable, as is Biden and his handler, Zero.

Ha! Looks like Jill tried to copy me Lanka’s classy look from the 2017 Inauguration. Did a poor job of it too.

I’m gonna murder autocorrect.
I know, right?!
Auto Smell Stinks!
Conan, what is best in life?
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.”
The Bidens have invited Trump & Melania to pre inauguration tea. Isn’t that just special. Two faced weasel.
It’s part of their “we’re so much nicer to the Trumps than they were to us” fakery. Expect the MSM to run with this narrative.
At least when they’re at tea, Joe won’t be signing pardons. No pardon for Jim Biden so far.
4 years ago darkness surrounded us. The worst fake president in history was installed, and he and his puppet masters and minions did everything in their power to destroy our great USA. But God is in control, and his plan for our country is not over. In fact, it has only just begun.
The clouds are parting, the sun is beaming, and President Trump is back to finish the YUGE goodness that he started. Onward to WINNING! God bless you all, God Bless President Trump, and God bless America!
If you’re not sure whether the enemy thinks Trump is going to act in ways that we’ve never seen before, just look at the actions of the enemy in the past 3 months. They bombed RUSSIA for crying out loud! Plus the pardons and all the other garbage they’ve been trolling us with.
Laugh, enjoy, the reckoning is here.
Putin has shown amazing strength as he waits like we do for the dawn of a new age.
“The day has finally arrived.
We have all worked hard to see this day come to fruition. Our prayers are filled with thankfulness to God for his divine providence. Let us all celebrate together.”

And what a long, strange trip it’s been.
Never more proud to be a “deplorable” American patriot or CTH reader. Congratulations to Sundance for creating, nurturing, and maintaining what I consider to be one of the most consequential, influential, and important US blogs. Thank you, Lord Almighty, for your many blessings and for the gift of our 47th President.
God bless and preserve our beloved Republic!!
With this Inaugeration speech, I suspect PDJT will surpass Reagan, and even his “a time for choosing” speech, as “THE Speech” and be recorded in the annals of history.
Agree, Dutchman, it will be epic! And much of the planet will be listening to his speech. MAGA ..Make America Great Always and forever.
Steven Miller’s speech yesterday was so good! A great warm-up for his writing of the President’s speech.
Trump’s first inaugural address was really terrific too.
Beautifully stated Dutchman. Agree 1000 percent!
Come post confirmation of Tulsi, Pam and Kash, I hope Sundance considers a top 10 investigations that he believes they should undertake ASAP.
I look at this picture and it just makes me smile! The obvious affection and respect between the Trumps and the Vances is a complete contrast between the petulant dour faces of Mike and Karen Pence from eight years ago. They always looked like they were uncomfortable, and even downright disdainful, of the First Couple, especially Karen Pence, as evidenced by her recent embarrassing performance at the funeral of Jimmy Carter!
why did weasely Ivanka get to sit right behind President Trump!!! She did ZERO to help him get elected. Tiffany and the others are far back in the pews
I just cannot stand Ivanka Trump……..she makes me wanna puke
You certainly are bitey today.
God bless and protect Donald J. Trump and his administration!
Biden was sworn in at about 11:48 am. Hmmm🙃
And sworn at for many, many years.
I watched the entire nauseating event. Biden was sworn in early. Lot of things off that day
I have a question for the better legal minds than mine.
At what point can these pardon be fought in court on the basis that Biden is not of sound mind, and did not issue these himself?
I think that is one argument, but a better argument is “when it comes to presidential pardons, what are the requirements”. That is, shouldn’t the person or persons receiving the pardon be convicted of a crime? Can a presidential pardon be a blanket of immunity….of crimes not yet specified? Honestly, I think this needs to be answered in court.
Ford pardoned Nixon, who was not charged with any crime.
Pardon power is absolute for federal crimes., EXCEPT for treason.
🤔
cspan just showed Jill Biden just leave the White House with Melinia. Wow, Melinia looks great!
Only One and a Half Hours to go……
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
Now we will see the most epic Presidency EVER! So much to do…
As I feel the great rejoicing after 4 years of darkness, it’s a day to think of positives and to enjoy the win.
But I can’t help thinking what a bitter pill this is to the haters and the sell-outs, for the globalists who care nothing for ordinary Americans. Liz Cheney is obvious, but also Jenna Ellis, Kayleigh McEnany. Maxine Waters. Brian Kemp. Stacy Abrams. General Milley.
And can’t help feeling a little bit glad, a little vindication, that it is a bitter pill for all the misery they dealt to all of us.
I love it, Biden has to ride in the car with Trump…..GLORIOUS!!!!
Biden won’t remember the occasion.
The smell of the diaper in the enclosure of a vehicle.
no thanks.
A signing desk placed on stage at Capitol One Arena?
https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1881353114621784494
Brilliant!!!!!!😄
Rumor has it that Trump is having a signing party tomorrow.
Trump got in the car with iden, who was the women?
Amy Klobuchar. Very strange!!?? Does Biden need a caregiver with him, or will she later leak details of alleged conversation between Trump and Biden
Klochbar….Joes bodyguard.
Amy Klobuchar. Democrat Senator. Odd…
Looked like Amy Klobuchar.
Klobucaher…I have ZERO idea why she is there….maybe to handle OBiden cause Jill is in another car??? I’ve never seen that before
Maybe she’s the one who did all the pardons 😁
Amy Klobuchar. Why does she have access to the President. She reminds me of a girl in college that had sex with everyone.
Probably the designated Biden handler… make sure he doesn’t blurt something out, fall asleep, poop his pants….
😉
Klobuchar and why she’s there is a good question.
John Fetterman is wearing a hoodie. Baby steps for him.
Maybe in a year he will graduate to a real suit with a red tie.
Wife and I are watching everything live on Fox. Our way of celebrating. Emerging from the darkness. Can’t wait for the signing ceremony, where all the EO’s are put into immediate action.
President Trump and his team learned a lot of lessons from the first term. This time, they came back loaded, aware and ready to act. MAGA, LET’S ROCK!
Things are going to move much quicker this time around. Its going to be Bam! Bam! thank you ma’m. It will be more like a cattle drive than a sheep band.
And he doesn’t have to worry about campaigning anymore. Pure business for America is all he needs to do.
State Dept. officials resigning en masse.https://citizenwatchreport.com/state-dept-officials-resigning-en-masse/
I earned a paltry sum for the treasury last night…For all of us here united in MAGA, freedom and liberty, a rerun for you:
And our namesake, the ‘Big U’.
Dream, America, Dream!
Dream Big!
Have to say the Vances look very classy too. Mrs. Vance looks beautiful in pink. Very fashionable and classy.
PDJT & Illegitimate Joe arriving at Capitol.
The President looks somber & serious.
Bedpan Biden looks more juiced up than usual, IMHO. Doing the “Thorazine Shuffle”
Yuck, Pence.
That’s all I got.
I actually hissed when I saw him.
He’s all by himself!! Ha ha ha. Look at how far he has fallen. He did it to himself. Not even a democrat friend walked in with him.
That’s why his wife is mad. He’s finished.
Pence had a fly on his head
Judas looked rather chubby and lonely. He made his choice. I hope he throws up in his mouth during the entire ceremony.
And a booger up his nose.
On March 11, 2020, the cabal’s WHO declared a global pandemic, initiating the worst worldwide, lockstep tyrany this world has ever seen. People were arrested, force injected with a deadly concoction, murdered via hospital protocols and respiratory suppression drugs, sent to concentration camps, restricted to their homes, prevented from seeing loved ones in hospitals and nursing homes, viciously censored, forced to live every day in fear and terror, fired from their jobs for non-compliance, and hoaxed.
Today is 1776 days later.
Hat tip CowboyW2B on TS.
Never again.
Never again.
Never Again
May God bless this nation with a surge of repentance, revival, and commitment to our great national experiment in self-governance.
We have a reprieve. Let us put our whole effort to this work.
The Second American Revolution
I would have loved to be in that car with Trump and Biden
Karen Pence DITCHED inaguaration….GREAT….hope she’s in dire straits….The show at the Carter funeral; hope her invite, if she had one, was CANCELLED
Pence walking by himself without his wife Karen. Good!
More disgrace by the Pences. Good. forever remembered for their low character.
Agree, see above…hope frumpy, dumpy is out in the cold
Read it. Agree!
Coming up on T minus 1 hour to T 47 liftoff!
Hate to be petty but I cannot believe how trashy Bezo’s girlfriend is- flashing her low cut bustier at everyone in sight.
Really low class and disrespectful in my estimation.
100%
You got that far? I can’t even see past the huge, fake lips.
I whole heatedly agree!
Bezo’s wife wins the botox prize.
Implant prize, too.
OMG, the ugly Google head is thre too with all the other tech bros. And Bezos’ clown show fiance/wife.
And Tim Apple too. 😉
They are going to pick a team so it might as sell be the MAGA Team then perhaps, their behavior can be managed.
