‘America’s decline is over,’ Trump boasts as he opens 47th presidency

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice President Donald J. Trump set the tone Monday for the next four years with eight words: "The Golden Age of America begins right now." The 47th President of the United States focused on restoring American greatness during an inaugural address moved indoors for the first time since the beginning of President Ronald Reagan's second term in 1985. "From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world," Mr. Trump said. "During every day of the Trump Administration, I will very simply put America first." He drew differences between the outgoing administration of President Joe Biden, seated to his left, and the restorative policies he will implement to bring a once proud nation back to one which is "prosperous...

ICE planning to ramp up arrests of illegals in major U.S. cities after Trump takes office, sources say

By Camilo Montoya-Galvez, Fin Gómez | CBS Colorado The incoming Trump administration is planning to ramp up operations to arrest unauthorized immigrants across major U.S. cities next week after President-elect Donald Trump takes office, targeting "sanctuary" jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration officials, two sources familiar with the plans tell CBS News. The locations expected to be targeted by deportation teams from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement include those with large populations of immigrants, such as the Chicago area, one of the sources said. ICE officials in the Chicago area recently put out a request for agents to participate in the post-inauguration arrest operations, unbeknownst to top agency leaders in Washington, a U.S. off...

By Alix Martichoux | KDVR-TV Fox 31 News On a frigid holiday Monday in Washington, D.C., Donald Trump will take the oath of office for a second time to become the 47th president of the United States.

Trump inauguration, with temps as low as Reagan’s in 1985, to move indoors

By Brett Samuels | The Hill President-elect Trump’s inauguration ceremony is being moved indoors because of expected bitter cold in Washington, D.C., on Monday. Trump and Vice President-elect Vance are expected to be sworn in inside the Capitol Rotunda rather than on the west front of the Capitol. Trump laid out additional details in a Truth Social post, including that he would join a crowd of supporters at Capital One Arena after his swearing in for the traditional parade. “It is my obligation to protect the People of our Country but, before we even begin, we have to think of the Inauguration itself,” Trump posted. “The weather forecast for Washington, D.C., with the windchill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows. There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Countr...

Vespa: With Biden out and Trump in, America is back

By Matt Vespa | Commentary, TownHall.com You've made it. You’ve survived Joe Biden's failed presidency. This joke of an administration has done nothing but set the world ablaze and make everyone poorer. But now, the work to rebuild our country begins on January 20 when Donald J. Trump is inaugurated once again as the 47th president of the United States. Unlike the past four years of misery, Townhall will cover our great revival under President Trump, but it won't be easy. Democrats in Congress and the mainstream media are going to do everything they can to disrupt and block Trump's America First and Make America Great Again agendas. They prefer the status quo and ignore the will of the American people, who, on November 5, 2024, gave Trump a mandate to restore American greatness an...

Douglas Co. passes resolution supporting Trump’s use of ICE and ‘safe and lawful deportation’ of illegals

By Noah Festenstein | Denver Gazette Douglas County is backing President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation plan, arguing it supports public safety, which contrasts with Denver, whose mayor has vowed to resist federal immigration agents deporting illegal immigrants in his city. On Tuesday, Douglas County commissioners unanimously approved a resolution embracing Trump’s “use of federal immigration and customs enforcement for the safe and lawful deportation of immigrants illegally in the United States,” the resolution states. “Open and insecure border policies and local sanctuary declarations and laws have resulted in a mass illegal migration into the United States," the resolution states, arguing "sanctuary" status has cost Colorado government entities over $350 million.

DOGE co-head Vivek Ramaswamy being pushed by Trump to fill Vance’s Senate seat

By Cami Mondeaux, Mabinty Quarshie and David Sivak | Washington Examiner President-elect Donald Trump is quietly pushing entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to fill the Senate seat vacated by Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, three sources familiar with the matter confirmed to the Washington Examiner.  Ramaswamy previously took himself out of the running for the position last year after Trump and Vance won the November election, instead accepting a position from the president-elect to co-lead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency.
