Hour 1 – Sacred Fire of Liberty!

It’s that time of the week where we get to explore the political healing that this country needs so desperately! Jonathan Emord is back to help us dissect the latest political news that’s fit to print:

Ending showdown with Pelosi, Trump postpones State of Union President Donald Trump said he is postponing his State of the Union address until the partial government shutdown ends, yielding after a weeklong showdown with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Following a high-stakes game of dare and double-dare, Trump conceded Wednesday night that “no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber.” He said he was not looking for an alternate option after Pelosi served notice earlier in the day that he wouldn’t be allowed to deliver the address to a joint session of Congress next week. Pelosi had taken the step after Trump said he planned to show up in spite of Democratic objections to the speech taking place with large swaths of the government shut down.

Ocasio-Cortez: ‘World will end in 12 years’ if climate change not addressed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Monday said she thinks that there is an urgency needed in addressing man-made climate change, warning that it will “destroy the planet” in a dozen years if humans do not address the issue, no matter the cost. During an interview at the MLK Now event in New York City honoring Martin Luther King Jr., Ocasio-Cortez told interviewer Ta-Nehisi Coates that younger Americans are looking for bold solutions to climate change, and are not concerned about the cost. “Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like: ‘The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?’ ” Ocasio-Cortez asked Coates.

Maduro rival Guaido claims Venezuela presidency with U.S. backing Venezuela’s opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself interim president on Wednesday, winning backing from Washington and parts of Latin America and prompting socialist Nicolas Maduro, the country’s leader since 2013, to break relations with the United States. U.S. President Donald Trump formally recognized Guaido shortly after his announcement and praised his plan to hold elections. That was followed by similar statements from Canada and a slew of right-leaning Latin American governments, including Venezuela’s neighbors Brazil and Colombia. Lawmakers in Russia, which has invested heavily in Venezuela’s oil industry, provided support to its military, and become a lender of last resort as the economy implodes, denounced the declarations.

Jim Jordan calls it: Dems ‘focused on halting’ Trump, not ‘helping the country’ Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican in an appearance on Fox News, called out the Democrats as more focused on trying to stop this White House’s agenda than on helping America or Americans. Got that right. Even Joy Behar of “The View” admitted as much. Well, not in so many words. But it was implied. In a recent discussion among “View” co-hosts about the Covington Catholic High School media circus, Whoopi Goldberg asked. Fox News reported: “So many people admitted they made snap judgments before these other facts came in. Is it that, we just instantly say ‘that’s what it is,’ based on what we see in that moment and then have to walk stuff back when it turns out we’re wrong — why is that? Why do we keep making these same mistakes?” And Behar’s response? “Because we’re desperate to get Trump out of office,” she said.

Trump works to hold GOP base on eve of Senate vote on border compromise President Trump rallied support among conservatives Wednesday for his stance on a border wall, as business leaders and even some in the White House expressed growing concern about the economic impact of the partial government shutdown. In a conference call with state leaders and meetings with activists at the White House, Mr. Trump hammered home themes that the barrier is vital to protecting Americans from crime and drug smuggling. The president said congressional Democrats who are refusing his funding demands “have become a very dangerous party for this country.” “We have to have a wall,” Mr. Trump told conservative leaders summoned to the Cabinet room for a late afternoon meeting. A new poll showed the president receiving strong support from Republican voters on a wall, but less support for shutting down the government over the issue. The CBS News all found that 78 percent of Republicans believe the wall is necessary for border security, with 21 percent saying the border can be secured without a wall.

Hour 2

We may finally know what causes Alzheimer’s – and how to stop it If you bled when you brushed your teeth this morning, you might want to get that seen to. We may finally have found the long-elusive cause of Alzheimer’s disease: Porphyromonas gingivalis, the key bacteria in chronic gum disease. That’s bad, as gum disease affects around a third of all people. But the good news is that a drug that blocks the main toxins of P. gingivalis is entering major clinical trials this year, and research published today shows it might stop and even reverse Alzheimer’s. There could even be a vaccine. Alzheimer’s is one of the biggest mysteries in medicine. As populations have aged, dementia has skyrocketed to become the fifth biggest cause of death worldwide. Alzheimer’s constitutes some 70 per cent of these cases and yet, we don’t know what causes it. The disease often involves the accumulation of proteins called amyloid and tau in the brain, and the leading hypothesis has been that the disease arises from defective control of these two proteins. But research in recent years has revealed that people can have amyloid plaques without having dementia. So many efforts to treat Alzheimer’s by moderating these proteins have failed that the hypothesis has been seriously questioned.

Here’s the Medical Cannabis Super Bowl Ad CBS Refused to Run It was all over the news on Tuesday: CBS rejected a public service announcement highlighting the benefits of medical cannabis, which was intended to be aired during the 2019 Super Bowl. Long story short, what happened was Acreage Holdings, one of the largest U.S. based cannabis companies, which counts former House Speaker John Boehner and former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld among its advisors, created a 60-second public service announcement (or ad, if you will) featuring three medical cannabis patients and their loved ones explaining how marijuana had changed their lives for the better — and suggesting it is a great alternative to other more dangerous pharma drugs.

A 10-year-old kid won a science fair by proving Tom Brady is a cheater Some kids make baking soda and vinegar volcanoes for their science fair projects. Others find a way to turn their passion into a science fair project. Meet Ace Davis, a 10-year-old kid from Lexington, Kentucky who created a science fair project about Tom Brady. While kids in New England might be trying to figure out how to scientifically prove that Brady is the greatest quarterback who ever lived, Ace decided to go in a different direction. He created a science fair project that proves that Brady is a cheater. Ace sought to prove that Brady was a cheater through science. He wanted to show that deflated footballs gave Brady a competitive advantage. On his poster, he included the results of experiments he did with his mom and sister. Each of them threw footballs of varying inflation, and he measured the distance of each one and calculated the average. He found that the least inflated football traveled the farthest, therefore giving Brady a competitive advantage.
