In the immortal words of Sir Francis Bacon

'Nailed It'

“Migrants break down in tears as Trump shuts down border entry app just minutes after taking office

A stunned migrant woman wailed in anguish at the southern border after President Trump shuttered an app that made it easier for migrants to cross into the US.

Margelis Tinoco, a Colombian woman awaiting entry to the US, was overcome with emotion after the president axed the CBP One app moments after he was sworn-in.

She had been hoping to cross into El Paso from the neighboring Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez when the app suddenly went dark, leaving her stuck.

Also filmed in a state of despair was Cuban migrant Yaime Perez, who had hoped to use the CBP One app to cross into the United States and seek asylum.

Every outstanding appointment on the app was effectively canceled when Trump took office, causing panic among those wanting to get into the U.S.

CBP One was used by the Biden administration to help expedite migrants entry into the US and was used by an estimated one million people since being created. …”

Most Army had M-14s; Marines had M-1 Garands; Navy had the Springfields. I think of the USAF troops seen by me they also had Garands.

As I posted in the previous page, Border Patrol in riot gear shut down the El Paso port of entry minutes before Trump took the oath.

M1903, M14 & M1 all are used by the armed service’s Honor Guards due to the balance, the M16 doesn’t lend well to being twirled or thrown.

You’ll notice the Sentinals who walk The Tomb of The Unknown use the M14 (w/o a magazine).

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but an X post directed me to go to this new site:

New Whitehouse.gov website today

Worth a look!

I am old enough to have seen quite a few Inauguration ceremonies, but NONE got to me, or made me more proud than this one did!! Had a few tears, but had a lot of smiles and pride. I am so glad that I have lived long enough to see it. Now all of the new Trump folks, get to work and make this country great again.

Start walking south lady. Adios.

The Day 1 executive actions Trump has announced so far

Trump will also reinstate the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which would require some asylum seekers at the southern border to wait in Mexico for their hearings in U.S. immigration court, the officials said.

The moves are some of 10 sweeping executive actions on border security that incoming officials say Trump plans to sign on Monday:

Declare a national emergency at the border: The officials on the call said this action will allow U.S. armed forces to finish the border wall and allow the secretary of defense to deploy members of the armed forces and National Guard to the border.

"Clarify" the military's role in border security: This action "directs the military to prioritize our borders" and protect territorial integrity "by repelling forms of invasion, including unlawful mass migration, narcotics trafficking, human smuggling and trafficking and other criminal activities," the officials said.

End "catch and release," continue building the wall, and end "Remain in Mexico"

Designate criminal cartels as terrorists: This will allow the U.S. to more easily remove members of groups like Tren de Aragua, a transnational criminal organization from Venezuela, and MS-13.

Suspend refugee resettlement: The official said the U.S. would suspend refugee resettlement for at least four months.
End asylum and close the border to those without legal status via proclamation: Officials said they are planning to end asylum entirely and close the border to those without legal status via proclamation, "which creates an immediate removal process without possibility of asylum."

End birthright citizenship: The officials said the White House plans to end birthright citizenship, which is enshrined in the 14th Amendment. They argued the amendment does not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to parents without legal status. This action is likely to see immediate legal challenges.
Enhance vetting and screening: The officials said they are going to "enhance vetting and screening of illegal aliens."
"Protect American citizens against invasion": Officials said this "equips agents and officers of ICE and CBP with the authorities" they need to deport people from the U.S.

Restore the death penalty: "This action in particular, directs the Attorney General to seek capital punishment for the murder of law enforcement officers and capital crimes committed by illegal aliens. It encourages state agencies and district attorneys to bring capital state charges for these crimes," the officials said.

Two observations: how bad off can they be if they've got smart phones? And it's not as if there wasn't ample notice (between Nov. 6th and Jan. 20th) that this would happen.

Too fucking bad.

Barron Trump is an impressive looking young man.

I kinda hoped the crowd would erupt “BARRON! BARRON!! BARRON!!”

We probably paid for them.

Somewhere, someplace at this very moment Tom Homan is kicking a door down.

Signing E.O.s live, naming them off as he goes, and showing his signature on each E.O. to the crowd.

The man has style

And tossing the pens to the crowd, having the weather move this indoors, his team setup an indelible moment in US History for an inauguration...

Brilliant planning and execution

Oh and Rubio confirmed 99-0 boom! Winning

Migrants = illegal aliens.

Cry, I don't care. Want to be here? Follow the process like everyone else and we welcome you. That is how it works.

NBC just announced there will be legal challenges to everything Trump signed. Anyone remember the hundreds of blank folders Biden signed on day one that no one was allowed to challenge?
