by Mary Foran
Well now, 2024 and Christmas are behind us, and 2025 is upon us.
Did you ever think you would make it to 2025? It seems like such a nice round number that is sure to be full of surprises.

Trump signing Executive Order promoting Agriculture and Rural Proseperity during his first presidential term. What will the second be like?
The big news in the States is that the US President will be Donald J. Trump when he and his Administration is sworn in on January 20th. His new Administration is full of new faces and has the Democrats, who are used to being in power, very worried.
Trump and his team of efficiency experts promise to bring great changes to the running of the government in America.
There is even talk about the privatization of the money-losing postal system which could mean higher prices for mailing letters and packages.
Trump plans on slimming the government bureaucracy to save the taxpayers millions through his new Department of Government Efficiency. This will be headed by the tech giant Elon Musk and the former presidential candidate and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
Trump has promised to tackle inflation and the border crisis and reorganize entitlements.
In any case, we will see the effects of a new Administration and a new President.
