Joseph R. Biden, a former vice president and senator, was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States at 11:49 a.m. President Biden immediately signed multiple executive orders reversing policies (immigration, travel bans, climate action) put into place by his predecessor President Donald Trump. Before the Bidens officially entered the White House as the new First Couple, there was a brief walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. Attendance was extremely limited due to the coronavirus pandemic. The new Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris also walked the route. Lady Gaga won the day on the entertainment front. Her rendition of The Star Spangled Banner was magnificent. Three former presidents attended the inauguration ceremony. An additional event brought them together with President Biden and

Louisville leaders react to the arrest of NFAC leader Grandmaster Jay
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer declared racism a public health crisis in his city. Fox News talk show host Tucker Carlson claims Fischer is using an immeasurable noble cause to mask his failures as the city's chief executive. Mayor Fischer joined me on 840WHAS a few days later and we discussed Carlson's derision, plus the fresh news that Black militia leader Grandmaster Jay had been arrested for pointing an AR rifle at law enforcement. Many Black leaders feel that the arrest of the militia leader affirms law enforcement's systemic intimidation of minorities. .@louisvillemayor Greg Fischer responds to today's arrest of Grandmaster J, and says @TuckerCarlson is "grandstanding and ill-informed" for slamming his leadership. We also discussed #RacialJustice remedies, and his relationship with @JoeBiden
“Too many people went to sleep” during Obama’s second term, time to reawaken with Biden
Barack Obama has released a new book reflecting upon his two terms as President of the United States. In it, he lauds many accomplishments and critiques some issues that fell short. VOX book review "Again and again, he concludes he always made the best of a set of bad choices." With a Joe Biden presidency on the horizon, pundits are sounding alarms that America needs to awaken to recapture the spirit of the Obama era. Obama’s #APromisedLand shows how he got there & left most of his people behind. It shatters any lingering illusions of him being a fighting Joshua & shows his captivity to Wall Street greed, Pentagon militarism & refusal to confront massive black social misery & U.S. poverty! https://t.co/aV6njYZSll — Cornel
Who’s riding shotgun next to Joe Biden? Is it AOC or Pelosi?
I spoke with @RepJohnYarmuth on the transition, stimulus, and, if @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris are in the driver's seat for @TheDemocrats, who's riding shotgun? Is it @AOC or @SpeakerPelosi? 📲 LISTEN https://t.co/AzuyYlVSRx #Elections2020 #progressives #moderates 🇺🇸@840WHAS pic.twitter.com/UAJGOTptRj — Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) November 11, 2020
iHeart Radio snatches alt radio crown in Los Angeles, iHeart’s Breakfast Club butts heads with Joe Biden
iHeart Radio grabbed two pieces of interesting media attention recently. It appears that the radio company's strategy to pounce on the failings of legendary Los Angeles alternative rocker KROQ are paying off. iHeart rebranded its ALT 98.7 frequency and played the exact music as Entercom's KROQ, which has been firing long-loved air personalities. Now the iHeart station has nearly doubled the ratings over the once-dominant KROQ using a former KROQ programmer. The slipping KROQ is now lead by a programmer that was by iHeart. Variety tells the switcheroo story in a long read but radio fans will love reading about the inside maneuvering. There's lots of accurate reporting on radio management decisions based on demographics vs. sales, and the issue of whether
It’s all but over for Bernie Sanders, and hey, let’s check the history on so-called Democratic socialism
Now that Super Tuesday 3 is in the books, the numbers are ominous for Senator Bernie Sanders. There is really no path to victory now that former Vice President Joe Biden has roared through another big Democratic primary sweep. From DailyMail.com Louisville's second most popular music star Jim James of My Morning Jacket (yes, Jack Harlow is now a bigger deal) did his best to stoke the #FeelTheBern crowd by appearing at an online rally. America is sequestered during a coronavirus pandemic so all musicians are practicing "social distancing" onstage as viewers watch online. Louisville's MMJ star @jimjames joined @neilyoung and his mermaid to help @BernieSanders on the eve of #SuperTuesday3. It led to a bad day at the polls and now
Bloomberg’s disastrous debate leaves Louisville with a wounded BFF
Mike Bloomberg was boot stomped in his first presidential debate appearance. Elizabeth Warren crushed Bloomberg on his racist stop-and-frisk policies that targeted minorities, his sexist verbal blasts of women, and his refusal to release former workers from nondisclosure agreements. Bloomberg could do little more than smirk. He just stood there with a Grinch sneer, thinking of how he'd exact revenge later. A record 20 million viewers saw a cranky old billionaire who apparently had never heard a discouraging word. Rinse and repeat for future debates because stop-and-frisk is an unforgivable racist policy that a newly elected NYC Mayor Bloomberg chose to enhance instead of eradicate. Bloomberg has spent more than $460 million of his own money on campaign expenses and is expected to
NBC debate mods sharpened their skills for the second debate as kooky author rises above the fray
On the 2nd night of the Democrat debates in Miami, candidates all talked over each other trying to take command of the stage. In the following radio monologue, I predicted that none of the NBC anchors would hammer any Democrat the way Megyn Kelly crushed Donald Trump out of the gate in the 2015 Republican debate on Fox News. I stand corrected. Megyn's crushing of Trump is still in a league of its own, but Democrat-friendly NBC moderators did move beyond their usual fawning positions. I was impressed by Rachel Maddow asking Mayor Pete Buttigieg about South Bend's police racial problems. Buttigieg is the gay icon in this race and Maddow is a lesbian. She's not going easy
