Former President Barack Obama will deliver a televised prime-time commencement address for the high school Class of 2020 during an hour-long event that will also feature LeBron James, Malala Yousafzai and Ben Platt, among others.

ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC will simultaneously air the special May 16 at 8 p.m. EDT along with more than 20 other broadcast and digital streaming partners, according to the announcement Tuesday from organizers.

Several high school students from Chicago public schools and the Obama Youth Jobs Corps will join, as will the Jonas Brothers, Yara Shahidi, Bad Bunny, Lena Waithe, Pharrell Williams, Megan Rapinoe and H.E.R.

I think High Schoolers have had their fill of liberal indoctrination and environmentalism.

I expect this will be an act of sedition if not outright treason.

He wouldn’t be doing this if it weren’t an election year. And the networks wouldn’t all be agreeing to air it either. Gotta get as many of the first time voters voting Dem as they can.

She doesn’t have time to sail the Atlantic to get there in time. Even if there was air travel, she would never, never take it.

All of these leftist nutworks will air The Grifter’s speech, yet most of these don’t even carry President Trump’s China Flu, or other briefings.

Spit on them.

Don’t feel bad. The graduates probably don’t know who she is either.

Addressing high school students is “brilliant”?
Ummm..if you say so.
Not sure if you are being sarcastic.

“With an overall four-year graduation rate of 74.7 percent, Chicago Public Schools still lags behind the national rate of 84.6 percent.”

Good thing we’ve got plenty of “Bosch” left to binge watch.

Maybe it is Cher’s offspring and it has dropped the “C”.

He’d have to get it out to the public his own way. It’s unlikely that all the networks would air a graduation special that has Trump as the speaker. They have no respect for this President.

How many times will Obunga use the pronoun "I" during his speech?

What's the over/under on that?
