Who: US Military vs Oregon Wildlife park

When: Saturday
What happened: Military were mad at two ranchers because they set a fire and it traveled to Military territory. Also because they started the fire because it was believed that they were trying to cover up hunting violations. The two ranchers are in jail now. Following another 4 years for the 2 years they completed because of a rally they we're involved in killing a father and a son.

Article Date: WASHINGTON, Jan 5 (Reuters)
Who: President Barack Obama
Where: Washington D.C,White House
When: Tuesday
What happened: Obama is reminiscing on kids who have died due to a mass elementary school shooting connecticut that resulted with twenty children and six adults dead t gun violence. After wiping away tears in front of many to show his sympathy and compassion, he declares that he wants to tighten up gun possession and toughen up the national gun laws.
Why this event is relevant: This is relevant because those kids are forgotten by many and there are soon to be more that will take advantage of this loose gun control law. Also because this has to do with the state/country that we live in.
Reaction: In my opinion, I think that Barack isn’t wrong for what he is doing because he is only trying to secure the safety for children/students and faculty members in schools everywhere. I think that Barack is being very brave to step up and go against the national state representatives to secure safety for the citizens of his country.
Opinion: In my opinion, I think that Barack isn’t wrong for what he is doing because he is only trying to secure safety for the citizens within the U.S. Also he is trying to stop the next possible genocide from occurring.
Connection: I chose this article because this is one of the first cases that I have heard of the president trying to toughen up the gun/firearm laws. I also chose this article because this has to do with children’s safety and they must be valued highly because they are the future.

Article Title:Donald Trump: Obama tears 'sincere'
Who: Barack Obama Where: In the white house
When: January 7 2016
What Happened:
What Happened was Obama was giving a speech on how the kids got killed. And Obama now want to have a gun control control. But Donald Trump disagrees with Obama saying see people he doesn't want you to have guns for your own protection. And Donald try to switch the situation on Obama.
Why is it relevant: It's relevant because people are dying for no reason and don't even have a licence. for their possession. So now Obama is say we have to have gun checks because people are dropping like flies. Majority of are american citizens don't even have licence so everybody is carrying a gun.
Reaction I think president Obama did the right thing for his citizens. You as a president have important responsibilities to take care of your country. So I think That's a good quality that Obama have. And that's caring so no more of american citizens can get hurt and be safe.
Opinion- I think Donald Trump need to mind his business because he want to be the president so bad. I mean some things that Trump say is really rude and a embarrassment to the United States. If Obama want to cry about a crisis that's going around a the United States let him cry. If Trump must know real men cry Donald trump.
Connection: This remind me of a movie I seen about people electing their president then they wasn't cooperating with him They was treating him wrong and everything. I mean they were making shirts about him and eventually his time was over. But this remind me of Donald Trump and Obama so much Trump want to always bring Obama down like Trump? Your not becoming president dude sit and relax .

Article Date: Updated at 2:24
Who: Cedrick Chatman, two officers, and the judge.
Where: Chicago
When: January 14, 2016
What happened: So Cedrick was running away from two police officers and they shoot at the unarmed teenager. The city didn’t want them to release the video. This had happened three years ago and they are just now releasing the video. Another thing was that the U.S. District Court Judge says that he was very unpleased with what had happen and that also it should have went down in a different way. And or handle in a different matter. Others say it wasn’t clear who shot Cedrick but the Court Judge says other wise. He says that you can see clear who shot him. It was Lou Toth in plain sight as Cedrick was running you could see Lous right behind him.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because all of this would have been solved if the video was out and about.
Reaction: I feel as though that they shouldn’t have kept the video hidden for three years because that isn’t someone lost their life because of this.
Opinion: I feel that if the video was out the family would have found peace a long time ago. I also feel as though that Lou Toth should be feeling a lot of pain right now. I think he should be sitting in jail rotten.
Connection: I pick this article because it’s important for people to know that sometimes other people like hiding evidence so that way they don’t get in trouble.

Opinion (I think..) I think the officers should be charged.
Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because this is just another example of police officers taking advantage of their power.

Article Date: January 14. 2016
Who: Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders
Where: Washington, DC
When: 1/14/16
What happened: Hillary thought Bernie Sanders campaign ad that aired in New Hampshire and Iowa was about her in a negative way. Bernie says there are 2 visions of the the democratic party and him and hillary are one of the other.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because It has to deal with our candidates and government today.
Reaction: My reaction wasn’t surprising at all. Knowing that candidates throw shade at each other all time and saying “Oh it wasn’t about you” is very common when running for president.
Opinion: My opinion towards this dumb. Honestly not only Hillary but everybody running for president should understand shade will be thrown not matter what to make you look bad. I don’t think there should be arguments about it.
Connection: When I was in 4th grade I tried running for president. I was told why I should be voted and not the opponent and I would say bad things about them.

Congress Avoids Government Shutdown
The House of Representatives in the White House sometime around or before December activated the situation that the president has to handle that involves everyone in politics and the nation as a unit. The bill of funding the government before it runs out of money, sits on the President’s desk of rather to pass it or to not pass it, which will avoid a government shutdown. House Democrats helped pass the bill of funding Planned Parenthood which had a lead of 277 to 151, when many wanted to defund Planned Parenthood because of an issue of damaging. With the signing of the President to the bill, that would help to prevent any damage to the government and the people. Another bill that the White House wants to pass is for the government to help the citizens cut down on spending money or irrelevant things, and to start putting money into things that will help citizens like schools, research, military, etc. This event is relevant because it speaks about what the president is still trying to achieve even though his term is almost over. I feel that the bill is on the right path to a better nation because the money being wasted in other places should be spent on better, useful things like school and the nation’s protection. I think that if the next president is a democrat then he will follow up on the bill and continue to proceed with the plan of the the bill. I chose this event because I appreciate all that president Obama has done for the nation and people should not knock the steps he tries to take to build a better nation.

Article Date: January 13, 2016
Who: Constable, 57 year-old man and 12 year-old daughter
Where: Pennsylvania
When: Wednesday
What happened: On Wednesday, January 13, 2016, a 12 year-old girl by the name of Ciara Meyer was accidentally shot and killed when she stood directly behind her father, Donald Meyer. When he raised the .223 caliber rifle to shoot at the constable (officer in the small town) who was coming to their apartment for an eviction notice.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because we are going over the bill of rights in class and this seems like the reason they made the 2nd & 3rd amendments.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes): My feelings towards this is sad because it must be heart breaking for this father to know that kills his own child. To hear that a 12 year-old girl was accidentally killed by her father seems so unreal but he was only trying to protect them due to the fact they were getting an eviction notice and someone was coming to search the house.
Opinion (I think..): I think they didn't have to involve guns in this situation because it led to someone being dead.
Connection (why you chose this article): I chose this article because it relates to the topics discussed in class. This article really ties in with the 2nd and 3rd amendment. I say it ties with the 2nd amendment because it states you have the right to bear arms or have weapons. The 3rd amendment basically states it is illegal to go into someone's house illegally even though he was a constable coming to save an eviction notice.

Why this event is relevant:This event is relevant because the teacher took kids skiing without a professional being present. 2 kids lost their lives due to her actions.

Article Date: Friday November 6 2015
Who:Secretary of State John Kerry has recommended that the U.S. reject the Keystone XL pipeline
Where:Washington
When: presidential campaign in 2012
What happened: John Kerry wants the u.s. To reject the xl pipeline project. This project has been going on for several years its and effort to fight climate change. The project got approved by a couple of people in government but it has been a problem for some people. In 2008 the permit for the pipeline was submitted so it could be built. The span of the pipe would be 1200 miles across six u.s. States the pipeline would advance energy independence in North America and it will create jobs
Why this event is relevant:this is relevant because it could be a major milestone in the government and a lot of people who look for jobs can have a chance at one
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I feel as though this would be beneficial and help a lot of people out with jobs . It just feels like this project was long to process
Opinion (I think..) I think this could be a good project depending on how the outcome is and what actually happens when the xl pipeline is created
Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because it makes me think of how long people take to make a change or try to make an Improvement. For instance police brutality, how long will this actually be acceptable to black people when racial injustice occurs between black and white people who do things and are arrested .

Article Date:1/13/2016
Who:Bill Cosby, Prosecutors, Court of Law
Where:Philadelphia, PA
When:1965, 2004, 2015, 2016
What happened: Bill Cosby has been accused multiple times by multiple people that he has raped them. Many of the people say that he drugged them and then proceeded to sexually assault them. However due to an agreement made by Cosby and a prosecutor, there is little to no chance that a criminal charged will be assessed to him for these allegations.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because it involves a man who was innocent but was held in jail for something he didn't do. Also, racism had the chance to prevail in this case because Cosby is black and some of the alleged victims are white.
Reaction: I feel bad for Bill Cosby because these cases keep coming back to haunt him and keep getting a verdict of innocent. I feel as though the people who are wrong in accusing him should just leave him alone. I would feel bad if I was in his place.
Opinion: I think this is unfair treatment and it is racist to keep bothering an old man who is a good person like this. He has done nothing wrong in each of these cases and they continue to bother him.
Connection I chose his article because in a way it is breaking double-jeopardy because they are bringing up past accusations that he already went through a trial for. They are making up lies in order to get him for the past incidents that he was found innocent for.

He also asked what he thought about the amounts of drugs he has sold over the border. El Chapo said ‘No that is false, because the day I don't exist, it's not going to decrease in any way at all."

Why this event is relevant: This is relevant because is shows that there is more to the story more answers to be answered and he has them. He tell the cold hard truth that most people don’t want to believe. But must face the cold truth about it all.
Reaction: Paul believes that there is more to the whole thing other than drugs and money there always have been he is just trying to find it using other ways.
Opinion: My opinion on this is that he will get back out of jail again and the drug game will keep on going even after he is dead and gone because there are always someone watching. Which means they will try to go past the bonders El Chapo has set possibly make it worse.

What happened:Obama spoke on the topics of gun control in America and voiced his opinion's on them earlier in the week, also highlighting other areas such as ; problems in our economy, problems dealing with ISIS etc. The republicans have personally slammed him on these issues, placing the blame almost entirely on him, but regardless of this, because of the President's orator skills, the attention brought upon him was not entirely bad.
Why this event is relevant:This is relevant to me because Obama is currently the President of the United States, and as leader of the free world, and because I am a legal resident of the United States and is now eligible to vote, it's imperative that I understand what's going on within the political world because these decisions are going to impact my life as an American Citizen.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes)The Grand Old Party doesn't appreciate Obama's efforts in building America, despite him leaving his term this year, they still try and slander his name, which I believe is ridiculous because Obama works hard and has achieved feats during his presidency that impacted not only America, but the world in a positive light.
Opinion (I think..)I think that Obama should continue to do what he's continued to do and be a cool, calm and collective president, and use what the GOP representatives are saying to his advantage. I think Obama is a great president and he should have a level-head and continue to do great things in his last year as POTUS
Connection (why you chose this article)I am eligible to vote this year and it is my job as an American Citizen to do so. I have a chance to contribute to heavily impactful decisions in the country, so why wouldn't I pay attention to what's going on in these debates? It's important that ALL American citizens , whether eligible or not at least know what's going on in the country they call home
