Searching for Meaning in the LA Fires, by Charles A. Coulombe

By Charles A. Coulombe, OnePeterFive - In one night, Tuesday, January 7, 2025, another light transformed the mellow afterglow of Christmas to a horrible inferno which killed at least 27, and possibly 31 more.

7 Highlights From Trump’s Inauguration Address: ‘The Golden Age Of America Begins Right Now’, by Tristan Justice

By Tristan Justice, The Federalist - “The golden age of America begins right now,” Trump said. “From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.”... The president vowed to transform the nation into the “envy of every nation” beginning with a series of executive orders and efforts intended to unleash the economy, dismantle the leviathan of the administrative state, restore American patriotism, and embark on a new era of exploration in space... “A tide of change is sweeping the country, sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before,” Trump said. “But first, we must be honest about the challenges we face.”
