WASHINGTON DC, USA - Joseph R. Biden aka 'Joe' was sworn in as the 46th US president on Wednesday afternoon, January 20, 2021, completing a tumultuous transfer of power that was marred by Donald J. Trump’s refusal to accept defeat and the deadly attack on the Capitol, reports The Economist.

Mr Biden’s oath of office was administered by Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts in the presence of congressional leaders from both parties and former us presidents including Barack H. Obama, William Jefferson Clinton aka 'Bill' and George W. Bush — but not Mr Trump, who refused to participate and flew to Florida on Wednesday morning. 

Heavily guarded event 

The ceremony, which was heavily guarded by 25,000 troops, took place on the steps of the US Capitol ahead of Mr Biden’s inaugural address.

The incoming president was expected to use the speech to ask Americans to unite in the face of the twin crises of Covid-19 and a bruising economic downturn, in a clear break from the divisiveness of Mr Trump’s term.

At 78 years old, Mr Biden is the oldest incoming US president — and he will be joined in governing the country by Kamala D. Harris of Jamaican and Indian descent, and a former senator from California.

She will now serve as the first female and first black Vice-President.

Look past differences - Mr Biden 

With his inaugural address, Mr Biden asked a deeply divided country to look past their differences and sought to draw a contrast with former President Trump, who took a combative approach to politics in his four years in office and who spent the months since Election Day questioning the election’s outcome.

Mr. Biden made no mention of his predecessor but sought to use the moment as an inflection point for the nation, “Let’s start afresh, all of us. Let’s begin to listen to one another again,” Mr. Biden said, adding “Politics doesn’t have to be a raging fire, destroying everything in its path.”

“Without unity, there is no peace,” he said.

      Don’t know who “god” (idol) you thanking because “God” (capitalized) is the Almighty and Biden/Harris are set to prove what God said would happen in the end times.

      2 Timothy 4:3 "For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear."

      Holding up a Bible with one hand and defying God’s laws with the other signing into law much of what is contrary to God’s instructions.

    Truth is. The Caribbean do well more with Republicans vs demonstrates. It just that Trump was a new breed of Republican. As an offshore banking community the Democrats are the ones who’s against it. It was something even President Obama was trying to stop! So be careful what you’ll are wishing for. Understand what’s happening.

    The election was rigged. Trump was fighting for freedom and he won the election. America and the world is now subject to a marxist/communist takeover through the Covid HOAX. The sheeple, fooled by propaganda from mainstream media/big tech are happily welcoming back their slave masters (the Democratic Party). Anything that debunks the mainstream narrative that Trump is evil is now labeled as misinformation. Right wing media is labeled dangerous, extremist. While calling Trump a Nazi, the Dems silence and ban him his supporters on social media (fascism). While calling Trump supporters white supremacists, the Dems hold blacks to a different standard in terms of education and lock them up for as long as possible (Joe Biden Crime Bill, 1994). Nevertheless, good always defeats evil as long as good people like Donald J Trump keep standing up. So stand up for free speech, for the wellbeing of your fellow man, and for your God given rights.

      T**** was a TV celebrity clown, with a narcissistic personality, fascist and white nationalist beliefs. He appealed to to people through fear, and demonstrations of false strength. He used Evangelical Christians, gaining their support for his own purposes and self-empowerment.
      Joe Biden is not a saint. But he is a man who is capable of governing and it gives me hope that he is a man who sees his own faults, past mistakes (unlike DJT) can admit them, and and guide the People to do the same. He believes in the Gospel and lives by it. He is a man. Donald is a small spoiled child who had no business, talent or inclination to govern a large nation. I am SO relieved we no longer have to hear his whiny, nagging, self serving, shouting voice.

    Joe Biden, The FOR---BIDEN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Why for---biden. He is NOT Elihom's perfect will for America. BUT because the Laodicean Christains who love this present world, blinded by the god of this material and perverse world, did not understand Elohim's perfect will for America. They have demanded, by massive fraud for a KING SAUL, JOE BIDEN. Now they will suffer their fate together with King Saul, Joe Biden. HOW HAS THE MIGHTY FALLEN!
    (1Chronicle 10) CHINA AND RUSSIA INVASION, FIRE ON WEST COAST AND FLOOD ON EAST COAST. ELOHIM'S JUDGEMENT.

    AMERICA'S LOADICEAN CHRISTIANS, THIS IS YOUR KING. THIS IS WHAT HE WILL DO.
    (1 Samuel 8)
    And they said to him, Behold, you
    have become old, and your sons have
    not walked in your ways. Now appoint
    a king to us, to judge us, like all the
    nations.
    ( U hated Trump character and want a socialist immoral president like other nations)
    6 And the thing was evil in Samuel's
    eyes when they said, Give to us a king
    to judge us. And Samuel prayed to
    YAHWEH.
    7 And YAHWEH said to Samuel,
    Listen to the voice of the people, to all
    that they say to you. For they have not
    rejected you, BUT THEY HAVE REJECTED
    ME FROM REIGNING OVER THEM. (YOU HAVE FORSAKEN THE COMMANDMENTS OF ELOHIM)
    8 According to all the works that
    they have done from the day I brought
    them up out of Egypt, even to this day,
    when they forsook Me and served
    other Elohims, so they are also doing
    to you.
    9 And now listen to their voice. Only,
    protesting you shall protest to them,
    and shall declare to them the privilege
    of the king who shall reign over them.
    10 And Samuel spoke all the words
    of YAHWEH to the people who were
    asking a king from him.
    11 And he said, This is the privilege
    of the king who shall reign over you.
    He shall take your sons and shall
    appoint them for himself among his chariots, and among his horsemen.
    And they shall run before his chariots.
    12 And he will appoint for himself
    heads of thousands, and heads of
    fifties; and to plow his plowing, and to
    reap his reaping; and to make
    weapons for war for him, and weapons
    for his charioteer.
    13 And he will take your daughters
    for perfumers, and for cooks, and for
    bakers.
    14 And he will take your fields, and
    your vineyards, and your olive-yards,
    the best, and give them to his servants.
    15 And he will tithe your seed and
    your vineyards, and will give them to
    his eunuchs and to his servants.
    16 And he will take your male slaves
    and your slave-girls, and the best of
    your young men, and your donkeys,
    and will use them for his own work.
    17 He will tithe your flock, and you
    will be servants to him.
    18 And you will cry out in that day
    because of your king whom you have
    chosen for yourselves. And YAHWEH
    will not answer you in that day.
    19 And the people refused to listen to
    the voice of Samuel, and said, No, but
    a king shall be over us.
    20 And we shall be, even we, like all
    the nations. And our king shall judge
    us and shall go out before us and fight
    our battles.
    21 And Samuel heard all the words
    of the people, and spoke them in the
    ears of YAHWEH.
    22 And YAHWEH said to Samuel,
    Listen to their voice, and you shall
    cause a king to reign over them. And
    Samuel said to the men of Israel, Each
    of you go to his city.

    Please note that when Israel asked for a King they were in essence rejecting God who was their King. Trump is not God. David who was the chosen one did not sit back and waited for Saul to fail he supported him even calling him the Lord's announced. David did not sit in a corner waiting for Saul to fail just to say " I old you so" It is obvious you are saying that Trump was chosen by God to be President and rejecting him is rejecting God. Didn't the bible say that God is the one who put one down and raise another up? If you are a prophet as you seem to be insinuating , you should know that you are asked to pray for Government even the ones you did not support. Furthermore like all the false prophets who predicted infact said that God told them Trump would win it is obvious they lied. Now they are scrambling to find an excuse for their falsehood. According to the bible if a prophet tells you that God said anything and it did not com to pass he did not send them period! Follow the example of David read how he praised Saul after he and his son were killed. Stop being hateful and pray for the success of Joe Biden. Did you not see that in your bible, that you are to do so even for people you don't like?

    I voted for Biden. You people in the BVI and some of your bloggers from outside the BVI that support Trump don't know or care about the demon he is. I grew up in New York not far from where he grew up and we arevthe same age. His family have always been discriminated against Black people. This did not allow Blacks to live in their buildings in Queen
    or in Coney Island. After the war the government provided money to build homes in Levittown. Trump'sfather built the houses for white people only.
    Please not that Trump's immigrant grandfather was a German and like his son Fred and Donald they married immigrant women. Trump placed ads in local newspapers to execute the Central Park 5 even though they were innocent. He fail to realize that he has children and grandchildren and his sins will fall. On them. KEEP BELIEVING IN TRUMP AND HIS FAITH WILL BE YOURS. I'm not saying that Biden is perfect, but let's wait and see.

    Things are moving right along, and with American President Elect, Joe Biden waiting in the wings, the global elite are eagerly anticipating having their man in the White House who will fast track all the globalist goals that have been on hold these last four years, [Donald Trump administration].

    "Everybody from the United Nations, the European Union and the Vatican are lined up ready to usher in the great global reset of things which we believe is nothing short of the future Kingdom of Antichrist system of global political control, economic power and religious ecumenicalism which will lead the world to the worship of a false god, whom God's word has warned about.
