This afternoon President Trump and Vice-President Pence participated in swearing in the White House Senior Staff.  These are officials who represent the office of the President.  For the first time in modern political history, these are mostly ordinary citizen staff members from outside public office….

…A representative staff of outsiders, reflecting a representative government for outsiders… Forgotten no more.

President Donald Trump has only selected a group of 30 people for commission to act as officers of the President and representatives of the White House.  Together with their families, the official ceremony to pledge an oath to their office took place this afternoon.
Prior to remarks about the designated commissioned representatives, President Trump mentioned his earlier discussion with Georgia’s governor and condolences for the victims of the ongoing Tornado crisis throughout the southern states (begin video 17:45):

This is a historic moment.  I hope all of us fully take the time to absorb what we are witnessing here.  This is citizen government folks; and that’s why it looks a lot less scripted, rehearsed and atypical.  This is structural civics 101, the foundational principles of representative government “of people, by people and for people”, within our constitutional republic.

President Donald Trump’s White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus appeared on Fox News Sunday for an interview with DC swamp tour guide Chris Wallace. In this interview, Priebus actually does a great job pushing back against Wallace’s framework.

Kellyanne Conway is interviewed by NBC’s Chuck Todd who is having an epic swamp meltdown because he perceives his precious Washington DC cloister is threatened by a Trump administration.
Chuck Todd has achieved peak nuttery and Conway gave it right back to him.  Great job by Kellyanne Conway in this insufferable interview despite the mocking by Chuck Todd.

Corey Lewandowski discusses how the incoming Trump administration is perceived as an existential threat by the professional media apparatus.

…and other fun stuff discovered walking through this new winner wonderland.

Making good on a consistent campaign promise, and in absolute rebuke to the best laid plans of Tom Donohue, the Asian Pacific Nikkei reports:

WASHINGTON — Soon after President Donald Trump was sworn in, his administration announced the U.S. withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade pact championed by former President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

The New York Times and Trump Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, appear to be in an argument over the crowd attending the President Trump inauguration.  In the politicized era of jaw-dropping media bias, fake news and constructed Potemkin villages, does this come as a surprise.
Generally speaking, most intellectually honest political followers/researchers already anticipated a massive amount of DC-based hostility in all things related to President Trump.  After all, Hillary Clinton won the DC vote with 91%, and only 4% of DC residents supported Donald Trump –LINK–

Pause.  Consider the disparity. Think about that for a moment.
WASHINGTON DC VOTE: 282,830 Clinton (91%),  12,723 Trump (4%) Trump.  That’s more than a 22:1 ratio of Clinton supporters -vs- Trump supporters amid DC residents.
It’s Washington DC.  Political shenanigans should always be anticipated – it is just how DC rolls. Slow-walking TSA screenings under the auspices of “security”, obstruction, annoyance, intentional delays and all manner of historic DC employee behavior is the norm – not the exception.  Again, reference the statistical political ideology.

Most of America knows the organizers of the various “Women’s Marches” today did not construct women’s events, they constructed events for women who are anti-Trump and voted for Hillary Clinton, ie. liberal women. After all, billionaire George Soro’s financing is behind more than 50 groups who organized the various events.

There is a specific type of moonbattery exhibited by people demanding they must not be defined by their body parts, while they simultaneously hold up signs defining themselves by their body parts.  An intellectual irony seemingly lost almost all the marchers.   Do you think the person holding up that sign is aware of the inherent irony?
Another inconvenient truth that diminishes the overall political point is the lack of diversity amid the crowds.  The irony grows exponentially when you realize the majority of white women voted for Donald Trump by substantial margins (52% Trump, 43% Clinton).
However, not everyone is blind to the political gender hypocrisy.

Press Secretary Sean Spicer is scheduled to give a White House press briefing momentarily. Live Stream Link.

Last night it was announced that British Brexit UKIP leader and Trump supporter Nigel Farage was hired by Fox News.  Today, Fox News announces they have declined to renew the contract of the ‘nevertrumper‘ George Will.

Mr. Will famously railed against the candidacy of Donald Trump very early in 2015 and declared the Trump supporters were unfit to call themselves republicans:

“Trump Supporters Need To Come Into The Republican Party On Our Terms, Not Theirs” (link)

However, an honest review of what drives such media decision-making, vis-a-vis money, leans toward the conclusion the internal feud between George Will and Fox’s #1 rated pundit Bill O’Reilly over content within O’Reilly’s Killing Reagan book was more than likely a larger part of the corporate decision.
