This week’s topics:

1. Elizabeth Warren wants to ban those holding a political office from owning stocks. From CNBC.

2. Prisoners are protesting for rights. You want rights? Don’t commit crimes! From USAToday.

3. Hillary stands up for the young woman who kneeled during the pledge. Is Hillary right? Is she wrong? Well, yes; to both. (Ben may have accidentally threatened President Floppy Hair’s fingers. SHHH) From Bustle.

4. Truck drivers surprise a 16-year-old with Dandy Walker syndrome and cerebral palsy for his birthday. Proud trucker moment for Ben! From Transport Topics.

5. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stops by a coffee shop she once worked at that is closing. Was it a publicity stunt? Is her agenda part of the reason for the closure? Again, yes to both! From FoxNews.

6. Liberal bigotry to end bigotry? Rick’s brain short circuits. From Syracuse.com.

7. Poop Patrol! Coming to a San Francisco street near you! From the SF Chronicle.
