︎Based on media reports you've seen, read, heard and have learned about, what do you think the next phase or major  development in the Russia-Ukraine war is likely to be?

Running his line: Andrew Cuomo, the disgraced ex-governor of New York state, thought he'd test his credibility and appeal himself at -- where else? -- a small Black church in Brooklyn yesterday.

President Joseph R. Biden will deliver his first State of the Union address at 9 p.m. tonight, EST.

Each year, the president formally addresses Congress and the people of the United States, outlining critical issues confronting the country and how the administration proposes to deal with them. 

Most people, even though they may not have formal credentials as political scientists or policy makers, are keenly aware of the problems we face as a nation and what can be done to solve them.

What, would you say is the state of the nation?

This is the first in a series of special talks you'll be hearing on Leid Stories. 

Many listeners responded to an open invitation to present their views on an issue or subject that deeply concerns them. They suggested their own topics, and will take questions at the end of their presentations.
