There were three big stories this week  -  the debacle of the Iowa Caucus, the President’s State of the Union speech, and the ongoing story of the Coronavirus. And a sad story about one of our favorite people.

Two big stories this week: The coronavirus called 2019-n-CoV that’s raging in China. It’s a killer! And President Trump’s Middle East Peace Plan – the “Deal of the Century”. And, oh yes, the impeachment that goes on and on. But the Republican defense was awesome!

The Riot That Didn’t Happen and Other Stories - The big story this week was the story about 16,000 Virginia gun owners who converged on the capital in Richmond and didn’t start a riot. But Oh! How the governor and his fellow politicians panicked! Also, the other big stories were the beginning of the Senate’s impeachment trial, and the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. Did you know he was a Republican?  Image: AP

The big story this past week was the dangerous confrontation with Iran after our drones killed their most senior terrorist. It could have led to war – but didn’t. Instead the people of Iran are in the streets throughout the country, fighting for their freedom. And meanwhile the dysfunction in Washington continues to get worse, Hong Kong is strangely silent, Jeopardy! hit a snag, and Austin Texas is in real trouble.

The unfolding story of the Iranian threat, from the assassination of Qasem Soleimani and some of the secret details that didn’t make the headlines. What happened, what was the response, and where do we go from here?

The stories of 2019 that haven’t ended and the stories of 2020 that have yet to begin. And how they all link together. The impeachment, the election campaigns, the assault on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq, and the assault on Jews in America. These stories are far from over.

The stories of Chanukah and Christmas and why it matters.  Christmas legends that warm the heart. And another episode of “You just can’t make this stuff up!” Plus a real life Christmas miracle.

Impeachment, impeachment, impeachment. But there is no crime! So they’ve made them up! And the Democrats all swear that they are supporting the Constitution. Then, anti-Semitism in the U.S. is becoming epidemic. The numbers are shocking, and yet no one seems to be taking it seriously. Will Trump’s Executive Order make a difference?

Two major stories hit the news at the beginning of this week: the announcement of the two Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump, and the release of the Horowitz report on the FBI. A lot to talk about. But that’s not all. There is a discussion about new gun laws coming down the pike, and a gun battle in the streets of Jersey City. And the growing importance of Term Limits.  Image: NYT

The Democrats’ ‘Get Trump’ Saga continues to the next level. But this parody of justice was anything but a proper investigation. And last week, the President did something quite amazing. He signed into law the “Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019”. The people of Hong Kong cheered at our open show of support for their demonstrations, but China called our Ambassador to Beijing. Uh oh. There was a terrorist attack on London Bridge but the heroism that arose in the midst of that attack probably saved many lives. And the weapons of choice were amazing! Lots to hear on the Freedman Report!
