The Morning Brew for Jan. 19, 2017: Chip to Jax, Inauguration

Happy Thursday, folks! I hope you are enjoying these Morning Brews as much as I am writing them. This one is a mixture of both politics and sports as well as other news items mixed in, in honor of the inauguration taking place on Friday. I implore you all to watch it, regardless of political view, as it is always a historic event.

Enjoy the rest of the week!
