So what is this inauguration thingy they all keep on about. I suppose everyone knows it happens on January 20th but what exactly happens. I make a possibly futile attempt to explain something about it. The reason for it in the first place is the swearing in of the new President who was elected by the electoral college. The swearing in is where the new President faithfully swears to uphold the constitution. For decades now the Democrats have been actively working against the constitution so them swearing an oath has been pretty meaningless. There have also been RINO Presidents who have been little better.
The inauguration is allegedly bi-partisan and the Donald’s mates have chipped in a handy $170 million, this compares to the $70 million Creepy Joe raised. Some of these donors were not his mates recently but have now seemingly been swayed by his tact and charm, not to mention the big stick he is going to beat everyone with. The swearing in is scheduled at 12pm EST Monday by John Roberts chief justice at Supreme Court, that will be about 5pm our time. We don’t have to wait until Monday because events begin Saturday and run through to Tuesday. The yanks do love their razzamatazz and the inauguration will be no exception. Expect a beaming and jubilant Donald, the star of the show. The schedule is as follows.

Tuesday
A National prayer service
Six outgoing presidents did not attend their successor’s inauguration. John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Martin van Buren, Andrew Johnson, Woodrow Wilson and the Donald himself who was still fuming that the Democrats had stolen the election. Sly News still report this as false but we all know it was stolen.
The list of participants (invited and going), non-participants (invited and not going) and uninvited makes for an interesting read.
Not going
- Big Mike who also missed the peanut farmer’s funeral
- President Xi but he is sending a substitute
- Alexandria Occasional Cortex, allegedly a bit of virtue signalling
Not invited – the list is long but here are some highlights.
- Keith
- Micron
- Scholz
- Putin
- Ursula von der Leyen
- Fidel’s son, the putative governor of Canada.
- Netanyahu
- Kim Wrong’Un who most certainly would not attend.
- The Prime Minister of Greenland, I feel the Donald missed a trick there though maybe diplomatic protocols prevent it.The following are the big boys of the WEF
- Bill f Gates
- Klaus Schwas
- George and Alex Soros
- Satan Blair
- Lord Mandelscum (according to Nigel Farage) who is chomping at the bit while waiting to take over as our Ambassador in DC.
Invited and going
- Creepy Joe
- Heels Up
- Obummer
- Dubya
- Slick Willy
- Laura Bush
- Killary
- Javier Milei, basking in his economic success
- Nayib Bukele (El Salvadorean President who cleaned up the gangs)
- Giorgia Meloni
- Xi was invited but will send an official envoy
- Jair Bolsonaro if he can get his passport back, it was confiscated
- Eric Zemmour (leader of French Party Reconquête) and his squeeze Sarah Knafo
- Orban
- Takeshi Iwaya Jap FM
- Subrahmanyam Jaishankar Indian external affairs (with a name like that he sounds more like a Sri Lankan).
- Elon Musk
- Mark Android of Faceache fame
- Jeff Bezos
- Sam Altman of OpenAI
- Javanka but unlikely to be front and centre stage the snakes
- Farage who wants to mend fences with Musk
- Katie Hopkins or so she says
- Alex Phillips
- Baroness Kate Hoey
- Liz Truss
- Lozza Fox
When looking at the list of attendees from the UK it strikes me that someone may have asked Nigel Farage “who can I invite to upset Keith Starmer”. No doubt there are many more names I have failed to uncover but the left will be outraged.

Allegedly begging for an invite
Chile, Peru, Nigeria, Ukraine and Mozambique. Zelensky just wants to squeeze more money from anywhere
The important part is who is not invited. I believe the MSM will try to spin this as a gathering of far right thugs. The rest of us realise that he doesn’t want a load of commies there. I know China is officially communist but take a look, the UK under Keith is more communist than the People’s Republic of China.
Performers
- Carrie Underwood
- Snoop Dog, the left are outraged
- Village People , presumably so he can do his dance.
Banks, Post Offices and stock markets will be closed and gummint employees typically get a day off
The DC National Guard will deploy about 7,800 soldiers
Previous inaugurations have not been attended by foreigners. The Donald is making his global and making a massive statement especially with Israel and the EU. Netanyahu must be rattled, there are reports that a ceasefire with Hamas is about to happen, maybe before the weekend. The suspicion has to be that the unusually quiet Ursula von der Lyin’ is licking her wounds, that harridan tries to muscle in everywhere.
The Donald has also promised to sign umpteen Executive Oders on Day One, As soon as he has been sworn in he can wield his pen, maybe he will do it in front of everyone.
