Donald Trump gives his first State of the Union speech to Congress as President

-
Anyone who has watched the State of the Union (SOTU) before knows there is at least one phrase you can expect the President to utter.

Just like anyone who has watched a Kentucky Friend Chicken advert can tell you that you're likely to hear some variation of "it's finger lickin' good" if you watch one of those adverts, anyone who has sat through a past SOTU knows you're likely to hear the president say "the state of the union is strong" if you sit through that speech.

Will President Donald Trump follow that tradition Tuesday night? As a man who has broken countless norms during his political career, and still regularly employs the slogan "Make America Great Again", anything is possible.

Here's a quick run down of what every president has said going back to President Gerald Ford, via PBS. Fun fact: The last time anyone bothered being negative about the state of the union was in 1975 ("not good").

Turns out, people do not care all that much about North Korea ahead of President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address, at least not according to Google.

Blake Griffin is ready for the next chapter of his basketball career. On Tuesday, the All-Star forward tweeted out a statement to thank the Clippers' fans and the city of Los Angeles after he was traded to the Detroit Pistons. The 28-year-old Griffin had been the face of the Clippers, and in July he agreed to a $171 million, five-year deal, ending a brief flirtation with free agency. The deal didn't include a no-trade clause. While a free agent in the 2017 offseason, Griffin met with Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, coach Doc Rivers and several players at Staples Center in a celebration of his career. At the end of the two-hour fete, Griffin rose and spoke, telling teammates, his coach and the owner, "I want my legacy to be a Clipper." In Detroit, where the Cavaliers will play the Pistons on Tuesday night, LeBron James lamented that trades like Griffin's are considered part of the business, while players who explore free agency are blamed for being disloyal:

ON Wednesday night, Australians will be in for a treat with a rare lunar trifecta taking place. Consisting of a total lunar eclipse, supermoon and blue moon, such an event hasn’t been seen for more than 30 years. CANBERRA’S INTEGRAL ROLE IN KEY NASA MISSION PARTIAL LUNAR ECLIPSE OBSERVED AROUND THE WORLD SUPER BLUE BLOOD MOON: WHEN AND WHERE TO SEE IT TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE IN 1976 WON’T BE SEEN AGAIN FOR YEARS A total lunar eclipse is when the full moon passes through Earth’s shadow. While this type of eclipse is visible from anywhere on Earth (providing it is night-time), the duration is dependent on how close to moonrise or moonset it is when the eclipse starts in your location. On average, this is seen in Australia every 2.8 years. However, in 2018, we will be lucky enough to see two total lunar eclipses. The first will be on Wednesday the 31st of January while the second will take place in late July. As it enters the depths of Earth’s shadow you can expect the moo
