THE FLYOVER REPLAY,

Tuesday, January 21, 2025,

Good Morning! On this day in 1908, New York City enacted the Sullivan Ordinance, which made it illegal for women to smoke in public. This ordinance was proposed by Alderman Timothy “Little Tim” Sullivan, who had never actually witnessed a woman smoking in public.

Yesterday was a historic day in America, and today’s edition is filled with news of the inauguration ceremony itself, the first actions taken by the new Trump administration, and even a look at the fashion and celebrities on display. Take our poll below and let us know if you were watching.

We hope you enjoyed reading today’s Flyover. Let us know how we’re doing by replying to Russell Sherrard at russellsherrard@reagan.com.

TAKEOFF,

Trump Takes Oath, Starts Signing Orders,

Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday, delivering a 30-minute inaugural address outlining his agenda and stating that “the golden age of America begins right now.”

Late Monday, Trump began signing a number of sweeping executive orders, including issuing 1,500 pardons to participants in the Jan 6, 2021 mob scene at the Capitol. “They’ve been treated very unfair,” he said.

Trump was expected to sign immigration directives ordering the military to assist with border security, suspend refugee admissions, and end birthright citizenship. He was also set to declare a national emergency at the southern border.

The president’s list also included orders related to gender issues. These orders will require federal policy to recognize only two sexes: male and female, rolling back a number of federal diversity programs.

Included among the orders Trump signed Monday were ones halting nearly 80 Biden-era actions and withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement and the World Health Organization.

Biden Issues Last-Minute Family Pardons,

In his final hours in office, former President Joe Biden issued pardons to his siblings, their spouses, Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, and members of the Jan. 6 investigative committee.

Biden cited concerns over politically motivated retribution under Trump’s administration, saying the pardons don’t imply wrongdoing but were necessary to protect people from “baseless” investigations.

The move, unprecedented in scale, drew criticism for its potential impact on future presidential clemency norms.

While recipients expressed gratitude, legal experts noted the pardons might compel them to testify in future investigations, limiting their Fifth Amendment protections.

Ohio State Wins National Championship,

The Ohio State Buckeyes won the college football national championship Monday night, beating the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame 34-23 in the first-ever 12-team playoff format.

Both teams struggled to reach the final 12-team playoff field, the 14-1 Irish surviving a week 3 loss to Northern Illinois, and OSU, 13-2, suffering a 13-10 loss to rival Michigan on Thanksgiving weekend, their fourth straight loss to the Wolverines.

Monday’s meeting marked the ninth time these two schools faced each other, with their first game occurring in 1935, ending in an 18-13 victory for Notre Dame in Columbus.

POLITICS,

The Senate on Monday confirmed Marco Rubio as secretary of state, making him the first of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees to win the approval of the upper chamber. The vote was 99-0.

Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth secured committee approval Monday as the Senate Armed Services Committee advanced his nomination for defense secretary in a party-line vote, sending it to the Senate floor.

John Ratcliffe’s CIA director nomination also advanced Monday with a 14-3 Senate Intelligence Committee vote, moving it to the full Senate for confirmation.

The White House named Brian Driscoll as acting FBI director Monday, following Deputy Director Paul Abbate’s unexpected retirement, declining to temporarily replace Director Christopher Wray.

And Now a Word from Our Sponsor, Interactive Romans Road – King James Version

Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on Interactive Romans Road – King James Version.
Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.

This takes the reader to selected passages in the Book of Romans in the Bible to explain the plan of Salvation. This is the ideal way to share the gospel using your Kindle. The reader can also read the entire book of Romans un-interrupted.
