To the Editor:

I don’t talk to God much, but today I got on my knees and thanked him. I thanked him for not having to watch Hillary Clinton taking the oath of office.

Today, with the swearing in of Donald J. Trump, America’s fleeting fascination with socialism has come to an end—and the path to freedom, self-reliance, personal responsibility and individualism has been restored.

JESSE INGALLS

Note from KBJ: Amen, Jesse. Amen.
