That's a shame. But--why should there be ANY entertainment at the event? An Inauguration is a formal ceremony and should be dignified--how many current "singers" have any dignity left? And what does it matter if performers are "not widely known outside the US"? Are we holding the Inauguration for foreigners?

Lemme guess. The Sisters of Mary are calling in the death threats?

This shit is getting old.

I agree with Flash. I don't see why it needs to be such a glamorous production each out glamming the previous. It makes the whole thing superficial.

However, I am dismayed that we are letting death threats influence our behavior. That is a bad precedent. The end of that road is violent. I am also getting tired of the intolerance of the Left in this country. Can we see how Bolsheviks and Brown Shirt thugs came to be. Note both of those were Leftist. I guess there really is nothing new under the sun...

We are getting sooooo close to DJT becoming Pres. DJT!!!! Next Friday, and it is over with.....yet just beginning. I am really ready. I can see the light in the tunnel, and it is the headlight of the Trump train coming full steam ahead. Break out the "good stuff"!!!

Trump Meets With Leading Supreme Court Contender



President-elect Donald Trump met with Judge William Pryor of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a lead contender for his first appointment to the Supreme Court, at Trump Tower late Saturday.

Above the Law’s David Lat broke news of the Pryor meeting.

Trump told reporters Wednesday that he expects to name a nominee to the high court in late January, during the second week of his administration. He also confirmed he has met with a number of candidates from the list of potential nominees he released during the campaign. Given that timeframe, and the fact Pryor is widely considered a frontrunner for the appointment, the Saturday meeting suggests Trump is in the final stages of the selection process.

Pryor’s strident conservatism made his appointment to the bench by President George W. Bush a years-long battle. During his career in Alabama politics, Pryor referred to the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade as an “abomination,” and authored an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to affirm the constitutionality of a Texas anti-sodomy law in Lawrence v. Texas. Senate Democrats successfully blocked a floor vote on his nomination until he was installed to the 11th Circuit by recess appointment in 2004. The full Senate voted to confirm him in 2005.

The 53-45 vote saw several Republicans defect and vote against his confirmation, including GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who is still serving in the Senate. As Collins’ 2005 “no” vote may preclude her from supporting Pryor now, the White House will have a slim majority to work with, assuming they are unable to solicit support from Democrats for his confirmation.

Lat also reports Trump was prepared to offer the seat to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a former Supreme Court clerk who argued 10 cases at the high court during his tenure as Texas Solicitor General. Cruz declined the appointment.

The left was always this way and for a time they were making headway disguising intolerance as political correctness but this election has destroyed and turned back their gains.

We always have known the truth but now many middle of the road and center left folks in this country now see the left's dishonesty.

More importantly, the idiots on the left are doubling down on their failed tactics (especially recent statements from many of their congresscritters) and are sure to have even more political failures during Trump's Presidency.

WOW

The Left is beginning to turn on each other here over these Trump inauguration protests! This stuff is amazing and thrilling to read:

quote:

“Now is the time for you to be listening more, talking less,” Ms. Rose wrote. “You should be reading our books and understanding the roots of racism and white supremacy. Listening to our speeches. You should be drowning yourselves in our poetry.”

When Ms. Rose was asked why she wrote the post she had a simple answer.

“I needed them to understand that they don’t just get to join the march and not check their privilege constantly,”

WOMEN’S MARCH WOES: BLACK ACTIVISTS TELL WHITE ACTIVISTS TO ‘CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE’

I'm LOVING this! Go Trump! Make them eat each other!

Went to college with Bill Pryor. Really, REALLY good guy. He's so Conservative, he'd make some of y'all look like Obama supporters.

What are the women marching for? I really want to know.

The right to vote?

2012BOSS302, that is the funnest thing I've seen in a long time!

Consider it stolen.

Apparently because they were not born in Africa or the Middle East where they are so tolerant and respectful of women. They would feel much safer living under the safety and security of Boko Harem.

Obama is now the President longest at war. How sad is that Mr. Peace Prize?

They do not know, nor do they care nor does it matter!

The Progressives and GDC's sure do love their go on their 'marches' all-right!!

Every one of their self-perceived noble causes must be promulgated with a righteous 'march' of rabid and indignant supporters!

WTF is up with that?!

A Seinfeld ripoff - all a march about nothing.

add one more Trump benefit before the inauguration

President-elect Donald Trump’s pro-Israel views likely influenced the outcome of Sunday’s Paris Mideast summit

Tayseer Nasrallah, a member of Fatah’s Revolutionary Council:

“Indeed, the outcome of the summit was overall positive but we expected it to lay out concrete parameters that would translate our resolutions into operative steps, but because the participating governments didn’t want to confront Trump they didn’t go that far,”

“there was excellent coordination between the Palestinian Authority and the Obama administration. There was excellent coordination with France. But again, the question that arises is whether the Trump Administration will allow the community of nations to implement the resolution or not.”

Trump’s transition team reportedly told French diplomats they disapproved of the conference going ahead, seeing it as an attempt to put unfair pressure on Israel and give an unjustified reward to the Palestinians.

Solyndra powered ideology? Make believe is not a productive approach to policy. In their often shared world, trying to make what is fake seem real is an approach destroyed by real life itself. I'm just glad that we are now yelling, "Cut!"

Haaaaaaa! Outstanding.

Remember when the nascent Obasm administration initiated the car killing movement? There were actually knuckleheads pouring stuff in their oil pan that would seize up a motor. The car would then be certified inoperable and junked. The owner would be compensated out of tax payer funds. Remember that foolishness? Cash for clunkers....
