Swearing In: Does size matter?
Only hours after Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th President, various news outlets already began to compare the 2017 Inauguration crowd size to Former President Barack Obama's in 2009.

Media sources posted side-by-side comparisons showing an obvious lack of interest at President Trump's event. The following day, Press Secretary Sean Spicer offered an impromptu news briefing in which he refuted crowd size critics, stating the photo was taken prior to the swearing in, security checks held up massive lines, and the white color stood out in the photos...but he wasn't talking about the floors.

44 to 45: Not so peaceful transition of power
While celebrations continued during the Presidential Parade on Pennsylvania Avenue, thousands of violent protests occurred several blocks down, in which the SWAT team was called. Protestors were seen throwing rocks at local police, smashing glass with hammers, and setting cars on fire. Over 200 people were arrested, while several local storefronts were destroyed including a large Starbucks. Even though it was well known that these riots were an effort to delegitimize the current President, no one will ever know why they decided to destroy the Starbucks. That's like Chris Christie creating legislation to ban M&Ms. |

Saturday morning, around 250,000 women marched on the Washington D.C. National Mall to peacefully protest President Trump. There were also several similar protests stretching across the nation, including Boston, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland. Many celebrities, who analysts claim contributed to Hillary Clinton losing the election, made special appearances, such as Cher, Ariana Grande, Whoopi Goldberg, and Madonna. Madonna is even in some hot water for her inappropriate language in regards to her comment about "blowing up the White House." On a more serene note, most protestors simply held signs ranging from "Not My President" to "Hands Too Small, Can't Build A Wall" to "Nasty Women Vote." Well, I guess not.
AFC and NFC Championships: Big Ben vs. Big Brady?
On Sunday, the Atlanta Falcons defeated the Green Bay Packers, 44 to 21, in the NFC Championship and the New England Patriots defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, 36 to 17, in the AFC Championship. This officially sets up a well anticipated Super Bowl LI, between the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots, after a quite disappointing playoff season. This will be the Patriots' 9th Super Bowl appearance, a record high, and Tom Brady's 7th Super Bowl appearance, more than 28 NFL teams. Fortunately, it seems the media, the NFL, and the viewing public have moved on from his recent Deflate-gate scandal. Although, after seeing Brady wearing a coat on the sideline of Sunday night's game, there is now some speculation about a possible Inflate-gate.
