ONE MORE WEEK – AT 10:07 A.M. ET:  In one week, and a few hours, Donald Trump will be president.  And that means that Barack Obama won't be. 

It may well turn out to be an interesting week.  I wouldn't be shocked if some "bombshell" is exploded by a "journalist" with "inside information."  Remember, that the goal of the left is to delegitimize Trump.  That goal will continue, even after his inauguration, and the media will play its assigned role.

We already know that one outrage is underway.  On Sunday a group of 72 nations will meet in Paris under the auspices of a corrupt French government.  The goal will be to shape a policy to settle the Israel-Palestine conflict.  It is really a gang-up on Israel.  Naturally, John Kerry will attend with enthusiasm, essentially ending decades of American policy stating that only the parties can settle the dispute.  It's being made clear, if only by anonymous comments, that the purpose of the conference is to put pressure on America's incoming president.  That the outgoing administration would participate in this kind of rigged affair is obscene.  But we are talking about Barack Obama and John Kerry, not exactly stalwarts in the fight for human freedom.

We also look forward, perhaps with some amusement, to the "coverage" of the inauguration.  Will anyone play it straight?  Or will we have the usual sneering and uppity comments by "journalists," especially those from CNN.  Will The New York Times break its growing tradition of placing three or four anti-Trump stories on its front page, day after day? 

I would love to see Trump deliver a superb inaugural address, over the heads of the press and directly to the American people.  I don't know if it will be, but we can hope.
