A group of college students who threw an off-campus coronavirus-themed party are now being investigated by their university for violating the school’s student code of conduct regarding racism. Democratic socialist and Bernie Sanders promoter Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed an “all-female slate” of left-wing candidates, some of whom hope to take out more moderate, establishment and incumbent Democrats in key races. The agency tasked with housing the homeless in Los Angeles recently discovered 3,000 apartment units they claim were unbeknownst to them. Federal officials have notified socialist Bernie Sanders that Russia is trying to boost his presidential campaign in an effort to impact who becomes the Democrats’ presidential nominee. This and more as time allows, plus don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day! 

Democrats in the Virginia House of Delegates killed a bill that had been introduced by one of the state senators who joined Republicans to vote against a separate bill that would have banned “assault weapons” in the state. President Donald Trump granted clemency to eleven people in what mainstream media outlets are calling a “clemency spree,” but many are ignoring the several women — including women of color — who were granted relief from long prison sentences, in pursuit of headlines tying Trump to “corruption” and “white-collar crime.” Did you know that the FBI not only gave ex-British Intelligence officer Christopher Steele classified information, but they paid him to show up to accept the information, according to the Inspector General report released late last year?  This and more as time allows, plus don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day! 

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following “decades” of sexual abuse claims and fears that a class-action lawsuit filed by alleged sexual assault victims could leave the organization destitute. Fearing that the Supreme Court could swing reliably to the Right if President Trump gets reelected, leftists are now openly pushing the idea of court-packing for the day that Democrats occupy the White House again. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo threw down the gauntlet to other Western countries, asserting, “Over the past few years, I’ve seen, we’ve all seen, democratic leaders questioning America’s commitment to the transatlantic alliance and America’s leadership in the world.” This and more as time allows, plus don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day!

In response, the former FBI official turned to his new employer, CNN, to go on a victory lap. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing anger from his fellow countrymen after he was photographed chatting, shaking hands, and even bowing to Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, after the rogue nation shot down a commercial airplane with 57 Canadians aboard. Maxine Waters says that California should have “more say” in the Democratic Party’s primaries not because the state represents the largest diversity of Democrats in the country but because they have “fancy” big-money parties in Beverly Hills. In a bizarre Twitter post, famed atheist Richard Dawkins said that the practice of eugenics has a scientific logic that would actually work if implemented, arguing that people should oppose it strictly on moral grounds.

Virginia Democrats want to cede Virginia’s power to decide who it wants to be president of the United States by giving the state’s electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote. Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh is facing up to five years in prison over her infamous “Healthy Holly” children’s book scandal, over which she resigned last May and pleaded guilty in November.

On Saturday, February 8th, a man in a van drove into a tent with Trump campaign volunteers in it who were registering people to vote. I’ll discuss the latest. Special prosecutor Dan Webb has indicted actor Jussie Smollett in connection with a hate crime hoax that he was accused of staging last January. Patty Quillin, the wife of Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, has donated at least $1.5 million to support efforts to drastically change Los Angeles County’s criminal justice system. Peter Gade, director of graduate studies at the university’s Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, decided the phrase "OK boomer" was tantamount to the N-word — and actually used the racial slur during a class when declaring his opinion. “Calling someone a boomer is like calling someone a n***er,” he said, according to the college’s newspaper, OU Daily. I am scheduled to be joined by Ron Edwards to further discuss the topics of the day.

Snoop Dogg is now saying that he didn’t threaten Gayle King. Ilhan Omar suggested last week that the United States was responsible for problems around the world, including flooding that happens in foreign countries. If Colin Kaepernick is so “ready” to get back in the game, why is he not in the XFL, the newly formed league that officially kicked off over the weekend? Could it be “collusion,” as Kaepernick famously accused NFL owners of engaging in to keep his “brand” of activism off the field? After a six-year-old Pennsylvania girl with Down Syndrome pointed her index finger at her teacher and said, “I shoot you,” guess what the school district did. After voting with Democrats to call for additional witnesses in the impeachment trial, Republican Sen. Mitt Romney found himself disinvited from this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) by the event’s organizer. The president of the group has since said in a follow-up explanation about the decision that the senator was disinvited in part out of

A man deliberately rammed a vehicle into a tent of Republican volunteers who were registering people to vote in Jacksonville, Florida. Former National Security Adviser for Obama, Susan Rice is in a social media battle with rapper Snoop Dogg over something Gayle King asked in an interview. Rep. Ilhan Omar caused a social media stir this week by promoting an article in which “the ethos behind the original G.I. Bill” was applied to legislation for all Americans. The story of Mila O., a 16-year-old French girl, is showing the continuing fall of Western Civilization as in France, the country of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which always sanctified freedom of expression and the right to criticize religion and ideologies, are quietly and de facto reintroducing the crime of blasphemy.

The State of the Union Address, Impeachment, the Iowa Caucus; has there been a better time to be a Trump supporter? That is just one of the questions that I’ll be asking when I am joined by Kelly Riddell Sadler, Director of Communications at America First Policies and America First Action. Before joining America First Policies, Mrs. Sadler was a special assistant to President Trump, working at the White House where she oversaw surrogate and coalition outreach. Prior to that, she was the deputy opinion editor at the Washington Times during the 2016 campaign and before that she was a reporter at Bloomberg News. We will discuss what is in the works at America First Action as the SuperPAC looks to help return Donald Trump to the White House for a second term. In the second hour, I am scheduled to be joined by Ron Edwards as we will discuss all of the fallout from Impeachment, the State of the Union Address what we know so far from the Iowa Caucus.

Joseph Gibson is the host of the radio talk show Understanding The Times In Which We Live In Today and now he is entering the political ring. He will join me to discuss the early stages of his campaign. Starbucks is teaming up with an LGBT charity that advises “transgender” kids on their gender dysphoria, which can include connecting them to a pathway to medical services, such as hormone blockers and “gender-affirming” surgeries. A man who was convicted of murdering his partner by beating her with a hammer before fatally stabbing her with two knives in 2004 was given supervised release and given permission to “satiate his sexual needs.” Cruz Vernon began competing in gymnastics when he was 9 years old. By the seventh grade, he joined his school's all-girl team (there was no men’s team). But since he started, the committee governing high school sports in Westchester County, New York, banned Vernon from participating as a scoring member of his gymnastics team at Ossining High School. So naturally, he and his pa

It's the day of the "Big Game" but news doesn't stop. 

Empirical evidence does not suggest that major sporting events cause trafficking for sexual exploitation. Yet 76 percent of US print media from 2010 to 2016 propagated the 'Super Bowl sex trafficking' narrative. Sensationalist narratives are difficult to dislodge, but that is Lauren Martin and Annie Hill are trying to do exactly that when they wrote Debunking the Myth of ‘Super Bowl Sex Trafficking’: Media hype or evidenced-based coverage. Everett Bartlett, president of the Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE) will join me to discuss the reality surrounding the negative narrative. The Trump Impeachment trial looked to be winding down but then there was a leak about a book. Democrats had been pressuring for more witnesses since before the trial began, especially after former National Security Adviser John Bolton said he'd comply with a subpoena to speak to lawmakers. They doubled down on their calls to hear from Bolton, after a recent report in the New York Times where they insisted that Bolton’s up-co

Lawyer turned entrepreneur Terry Giles will join me to discuss his book The Fifteen Percent where he explains what sets high achievers apart from those that don't quite make it. This is a riveting story of what it takes to win and keep winning (in business and in life) from one of America's most successful entrepreneurs, with a foreword by Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson, the book is entertaining, inspiring, and full of useful insights you'll turn to again and again. I am also scheduled to be joined by Ron Edwards to discuss the news of the day. This and more as time allows, plus don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day! 

Mexico is taking its own illegal immigration problem (caravans of thousands of migrants from Guatemala, El Salvador, and elsewhere) seriously, cracking down on border-crossers at its own southern border, and now critics are convinced that President Donald Trump, unable to get a physical border wall built, has convinced Mexico’s president to become his de facto “border wall.” The Supreme Court has ruled to approve the Trump administration’s “public charge” rule for new immigrants. Both in front of the cameras and behind closed doors, Republican Sen. Mitt Romney (UT) has embraced the role of leader of the Senate resistance to the party line on impeachment witnesses — and some of his colleagues are making brutally clear how they feel about it. Former Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan unloaded on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday and Monday over recent remarks she made where she encouraged people to commit obstruction of justice by tipping off criminal illegal aliens to upcoming

Thousands of Americans marched on Richmond, Virginia to send a message of support of Second Amendment rights for citizens of Virginia. It didn’t stop the Virginia Democrats from moving forward with their gun-grabbing agenda, but the rally set a great example of what a legitimate, law-abiding protest of government over-reach should look like. Dan Wos, nationally recognized Second Amendment advocate and author of Good Gun Bad Guy: Behind the Lies of the Anti-Gun Radical, Good Gun Bad Guy 2: Destroying the Anti-Gun Narrative, and Good Gun Bad Guy 3: Exposing Anti-Gun Politics, was there and we will talk about what he saw on the ground. The Impeachment Trial is ongoing in the Senate and the Democrats have been predictable to this point. Dan Perkins, (author; commentator; speaker; TV/Radio personality; Veteran, founder of the non-profit Songs and Stories for Soldiers,) will join me to discuss what has happened so far in the “trial”. This and more as time allows, plus don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the

Police say that a man with anti-government views killed his boss on a construction site, and draped his body with an American flag, and some believe it was politically motivated. Virginia Democrats began to ram through their gun control agenda on Tuesday after tens of thousands of peaceful pro-Second Amendment activists protested in the state’s capital at the start of the week. Democratic presidential hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard filed a defamation lawsuit against Hillary Clinton after the twice-failed presidential candidate implied that Gabbard is a "favorite of the Russians" during a podcast interview last October. Greta Thunberg decried the United States’ decision to leave the Paris Climate Accord despite leading the world in CO2 emissions reductions during a speech she gave at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore state's attorney, lashed out at Baltimore police officers Saturday after a video that showed an angry mob attacking a Baltimore police officer went viral. The leftist American mainstream media tried to cast Monday’s pro-Second Amendment rally in Richmond, Virginia, as a white supremacist event that only extremists were planning on attending. (The biggest narrative fail of 2020 … so far.) Puerto Rico’s governor sacked two more officials Sunday, after residents of the town of Ponce, wracked by a pair of natural disasters within just over a year of each other, discovered a warehouse full of bottled water, baby diapers, non-perishable food, and other aid items delivered in the wake of Hurricane Maria and never distributed. The city of San Antonio has spent more than $300,000 in its effort to prevent a Chick-fil-A restaurant from opening in its airport because of the company's alleged "legacy of anti-LGBTQ behavior," This and more as time allows, plus don't forget about the Edwards Noteboo
