Bret Michaels has been named as the official 2020 Ambassador for the 10th Annual World College Radio Day, which is happening worldwide on Friday, October 2th, 2020.

The mission of World College Radio Day is “to harness the combined listenership of hundreds of thousands of college radio listeners throughout the world and celebrate the important contribution of college radio by uniting for one day.” World College Radio Day will unite college radio stations from over 30 countries around the world to bring awareness to the work and value they bring to the broadcasting medium. This year the theme is Global Solidarity Rocks which reflects on current needs worldwide. Campus radio stations stand in solidarity with new artists, providing a platform for voices that otherwise may not be heard. Furthermore, student radio also unites in solidarity on causes important to their own community.  The College Radio Foundation, a 501(c) 3 non-profit based in New Jersey, organizes the yearly event.

Bret will be inviting college radio students to #askBret life questions and advice so he can help them navigate the challenges of life and find the unseen benefits in all they do. Tag @bretmichaelsofficial and @collegeradioday, using the hashtags #askBret #WCRD2020 #collegeradioday #globalsolidarityrocks.

tmp6f544e53-9d9f-445f-9aa4-f32703227b25-jpg

The U.S. Supreme Court said that flags on court’s front plaza will be flown at half-staff for 30 days in honor of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on Friday.  The Court added that a black drape has been hung over the doors to the courtroom.

In a statement on Sunday, the court said Ginsburg’s bench chair and the bench directly in front of it have also been draped in black wool crepe as part of the tradition for the death of a sitting justice. Visitors to the Supreme Court have left flowers and signs in tribute to Ginsburg. Ginsburg was on the Supreme Court since 1993.

Joe Biden Blasts President Trump’s Plan To Push For Supreme Court Nominee Prior To Election

tmpbee948a4-e72d-4305-ad46-f0f39869c3c9-jpg

On Sunday, democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden urged Senate Republicans not to vote on any candidate nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court as the November election draws closer. Biden’s speech came one day after second Senate Republican voiced objections to Trump’s plan for a quick vote on a replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away on Friday. Such an appointment by the president, if approved by the Senate, would cement a 6-3 conservative majority that could influence American law.

Biden called President Donald Trump’s plan an “exercise of raw political power,” and added, “voters of this country should be heard … they’re the ones who this Constitution envisions should decide who has the power to make this appointment.” Biden said that if he wins the Nov. 3 election, he should have the chance to nominate the next Supreme Court justice.

The former vice president rejected the idea of releasing the names of potential nominees, saying that doing so, as Trump did, could improperly influence those candidates’ decisions in their current court roles as well as subject them to “unrelenting political attacks.”

Trump said on Saturday he would make his nomination this week and named Amy Coney Barrett of the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and Barbara Lagoa of the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit as possible candidates to fill the vacancy created by Ginsburg, a revered figure among liberals.
