  • The 60th annual Grammys get political as Hillary Clinton mocks President Trump in a cameo appearance
  • President Trump is preparing for his first State of the Union address Tuesday and officials say he will focus on America's economic prosperity, bipartisanship and national security
  • House Oversight Committee Chair Trey Gowdy calls on two embattled FBI agents to testify about their anti-Trump text messages
  • New sexual harassment allegations surface against a campaign aide Hillary Clinton refused to fire
  • Outrage is growing over a video where a California teacher is heard slamming members of the military as the 'lowest of the low'

THE LEAD STORY - GRAMMYS SING THE BLUES OVER TRUMP, DACA AND MORE: At the 60th annual Grammy Awards the stars took the opportunity to voice their opinions on everything from President Trump to DACA to gender equality ... Famous faces like Kendrick Lamar, Camilla Cabello, Bono, Trevor Noah and even Hillary Clinton turned up to talk politics, with host James Corden poking fun at Trump. In the midst of all the political chatter, Bruno Mars came out a big winner for the night winning both Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Record of the Year for his album "24K Magic." Cabello had one of the more politically charged moments of the night when she took the stage to make a plea in favor of Dreamers, referencing the debate happening in Washington D.C. over the repeal of DACA.

A GLIMPSE OF TRUMP'S FIRST STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS: President Trump is expected to take something of a victory lap Tuesday when he makes his first State of the Union address, where officials say he will hail a “roaring” American economy and promote policies for building a “safe, strong, and proud America" ... A senior administration official who briefed reporters Friday said that the address would be bipartisan, optimistic and “forward-looking,” and will cover at least five topics: jobs and the economy, infrastructure, immigration, trade and national security. The speech will attempt to show that the American people had every right to be optimistic when Trump took office last year. Officials hope that it will allow Trump to communicate unfiltered to Americans about why his policies are part of a common-sense agenda. The speech comes at the end of a tumultuous first year for Trump, but one that has seen some victories as of late.

HOT SEAT IN STORE FOR FBI LOVE BIRDS?: The House Republicans’ top investigator, Rep. Trey Gowdy, said that text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page show they “hated” then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, but the South Carolina lawmaker suggested the two testify to settle concerns on whether they were powerful enough to take down Trump or protect Democratic rival Hillary Clinton from criminal charges over her emails ...  “I can’t prove that they were the final decision makers,” Gowdy, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Affairs, told “Fox News Sunday.” “But I don’t have to. Two really important people hated (Trump); would have done anything to protect” Clinton. Gowdy pointed out that Strzok interviewed Clinton about her use, as secretary of state, of private servers on which emails with classified information were discovered. And Strzok scrubbed language about Clinton’s “grossly negligent” behavior from the final FBI report on the server-email investigation, he said.

HILLARY HYPOCRISY: New sex harassment allegations have surfaced against a campaign aide Hillary Clinton reportedly refused to fire in 2008 following a similar complaint that he harassed a young subordinate with inappropriate kisses and suggestive emails ... The report Saturday on the BuzzFeed News website accuses the aide, Burns Strider, 52, of sexually harassing two young subordinates at a pro-Clinton super PAC during an 18-month span that began in November 2013. BuzzFeed’s report comes on the heels of a New York Times article Friday reporting that Clinton kept Strider on her 2008 campaign team as faith adviser even after a 30-year-old campaign staffer charged him with sexually harassing her.

DISRESPECT GOES VIRAL: A Southern California high school teacher could face punishment after he is heard on video slamming members of the military as “the frickin’ lowest of the low” in a classroom rant that has  gone viral ... El Rancho High history teacher Gregory Salcido -- who also serves as an elected Pico Rivera city councilman and was once mayor -- even goes so far as to refer to those who are in the military overseas as failed students who had no choice but to serve, "Fox & Friends" reported.
