When I finish an album and i find myself listening to it in the car, because it makes me feel a certain way, that's the time to try to let other people know about it. - Herb Alpert.*
Released September 1979 (LP); 1987 (A&M Records CD); 2007 (Shout! Factory CD) Genre Pop; jazz-funk, dance Length 41:12
Label A&M; Shout! Factory
Producer Herb Alpert; Randy "Badazz" Alpert
The Rise album was conceived in 1979 after the worldwide success of both the 7" & 12" versions of the single "Rise", a song written by Andy Armer and Randy "Badazz" Alpert which became a #1 million selling hit song on sales charts, radio, and in dance clubs throughout America, Europe, and Japan.
Rise was constructed with Side One consisting of original songs composed by Herb, Andy and Randy. Side Two consisted of cover versions of songs Herb had admired. All songs featured Alpert on trumpet with many great musicians helping him bring the songs to fruition in the studio.
The album eventually peaked at #1 on the Billboard Jazz Album chart, and at #6 on both the Billboard Pop 200 and R&B Album charts and sold over 3 million copies.

Republican Senator Susan Collins defended her decision to vote to acquit Donald Trump in the impeachment trial by claiming that the President has “learned his lesson” and that he’ll behave from now on. Collins seems to believe that because the President acts like a toddler then he can be punished like one, but that’s not how this whole thing works. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

During an interview with CBS news yesterday, Republican Senator Susan Collins explained why she today was going to vote to acquit Donald Trump. And according to Susan Collins, she wants to acquit Donald Trump because she believes he is totally learned his lesson. Here is what Susan Collins had to say. I believe that the president has learned from this case. The president has been impeached, and that's a pretty big lesson, you know, a as Susan, just because the president occasionally acts like a toddler doesn't mean that you get to discipline him like a toddler, right? You don't get to say, no, you misbehaved. You don't get cookies after dinner. And then the toddler gets introspective and says, wow, I didn't get cookies. Okay. Uh, I guess I'm not going to do that anymore. You know, that's how we grow as human beings doesn't exactly work with somebody in their mid-seventies. Right? They've learned throughout their life that they can do whatever the heck they want and not face any consequences. That's Donald Trump's life story in a nutshell.
I can do whatever I want, which he's admitted he can do whatever he wants. I mean, remember that Access Hollywood tape, when you're rich, they let you do it and he's not just talking about sexually assaulting women. He's talking about quite literally everything because that's how the justice system in the United States works today. If you're rich, you can get away with anything, anything you want, you can do because we don't hold the wealthy and powerful accountable for anything and the Republicans in the Senate just proved it again. But Susan Collins out here saying, well, I think he learned his lesson. We sent him to bed early that night and he's not going to be doing it any men. She, she actually said he's going to be much more cautious in the future. No, he's not. He has proven that this man is crazy and he has also lived a life without consequences, a life without consequences that you, by the way, are perpetuating today and he's not going to learn anything.
The only lesson he has learned is that I can get away with even more than I thought. Wow. What a great lesson to send to the president of the United States. And I hope it applies to people who come after him too, because we're going to do some pretty crazy stuff, right? You know, you let Donald Trump get away with all this and say, Oh no, the president has unlimited power. We'll just wait till we declare a national emergency so that we can finally address the issue of climate change. Right? And we started taking money from the military's budget to fight pollution to crack down on fossil fuels. Now that would actually be super helpful for this country. I'm not threatening like, Oh, don't you dare cause we're going to do this. No, we need to do that. We didn't need to build a border wall costing $18 billion.

http://democracynow.org - The Washington Post reports the White House is in "full-blown crisis" following the resignation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. On Tuesday, the White House admitted that Trump knew "for weeks" Flynn had discussed sanctions in a call on December 29 with the Russian ambassador and then lied to Vice President Mike Pence and other top White House officials about it. The New York Times and CNN are now reporting phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the lead-up to November’s election. The Times reports U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee. Lawmakers are now calling for an investigation. For more, we’re joined by Democratic Representative Ted Lieu of California.

Lyrics:
Oooh ooh ooh ohh x2
Easy came and easy went
Mama said there’s days like this
Count your blessings in the wind
Even when the storm rolls in
Now the earth I felt it shake
And the sun I saw it fade
And the truth I heard it break
I knew trouble was on its way
Im still standing
Got my feet dug in this ground
And aint nothing cant stop me now
Im still standing
Crushing seas and falling stars
Bitter-sweets and broken hearts
Daddy said when life gets hard
These are the days u will find out
gonna find out who u are
Im still standing
Got my feet dug in this ground
And aint nothing cant stop me now
Im still standing
Howling winds and driving rains
Treading water in this Hurricane
With every breath I take
this new heartbreak gets
harder and harder
The waves are breaking
And Make No mistake
It’s growing stronger
Growing stronger
Im still standing
Got my feet dug in this ground
And aint nothing cant stop me now
Im still standing
Howling winds and driving rains
Treading water in this Hurricane
Im still standing
Got my feet dug in this ground
And aint nothing cant stop me now
Im still standing
I got the fire
I got the fire
Im still standing
Thanks for watching, stay legendary!!

Harris is the most anti-American Progressive that has ever gained the nomination of a major political party in American history.
NEW
Via: https://youtube.com
Recent populist movements have shattered traditional party systems and brought turbulence to governments across Europe and North America. In The New Class War: Saving Democracy from the Managerial Elite, author Michael Lind argues the origins of this are complex, but the results have urgent consequences: western democracies are being torn apart by a new class war.
According to Lind, to save democracy western democracies must incorporate working-class majorities of all races, ethnicities, and creeds into decision making in politics, the economy, and culture. If they don’t, they risk perpetuating a never-ending cycle of clashes between globalists and populists.
Join Hudson Institute for the live taping of episode one of season two of The Realignment podcast with Michael Lind and J.D. Vance on Lind’s latest book.
The Realignment is a weekly podcast that explores the dramatic political realignment facing the United States. Conventional wisdom has been upended—with the unexpected election of President Trump, populist revolts across Europe, and the arrival of an aggressive and unapologetic China, we are living in a time of new challenges to the way America and our leaders approach policy. All this playing out while the social fabric of the country is fraying and politics continues to further divide us. The podcast is focused on cutting through the noise and unpacking the issues at the heart of this realignment with politicians, thought leaders, journalists, and more.
