At 12:00 noon (Eastern Time) today, the divisive presidency of Donald Trump came to an end when Joe Biden was officially sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. Several minutes before the new Commander in Chief took the oath of office on a stage outside the U.S. Capitol, Kamala Harris was sworn in as the 49th Vice President of the United States respectively—and became the first woman (as well as first female of African-American and South Asian descent) to hold the second highest office in the land. After a trip to Arlington National Cemetery to visit The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and a brief inaugural parade to the White House, President Biden and Vice President Harris immediately went to work.

As of this Blog entry, Biden has signed several executive orders that ranged from rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement to making the wearing of face masks mandatory on federal property during the COVID-19 pandemic...while Harris swore in Jon Ossoff, Reverend Raphael Warnock and Alex Padilla (California's newest senator after Harris resigned from the post two days ago), who officially gave the Democrats majority control of the U.S. Senate. This new era in America began on a very productive note, and I am rooting for the Biden Administration to continue carrying out tasks that will help U.S. citizens and people througout the world, and undo the damage wrought by Biden's treasonous predecessor since his reign of ineptitude began on January 20, 2017. Godspeed, Joe and Kamala. And to quote Joe: "May God bless America, and may God protect our troops." Carry on.
