    Article Title: Robert Dear, Suspect in Colorado Attack, Appears in Court
    This article was published on November 30, 2015. This article involves suspect of Colorado shooting, Robert Dear, the judge of his case Judge Martinez, and authorities providing feedback about Robert Dear. This event took place in Springs, Colorado last Friday, November 27, 2015. Last Friday Robert Dear fatally shot three people during a rampage at a Planned Parenthood clinic, killing a Iraq war veteran, police officer, and mother of two. Nine other people were wounded and others hid in nearby businesses. Confusion rises while trying to figure out if Dear opposes abortion, but Dear stated "no more baby parts" while surrendering indicating that he does not want the birth of babies. Dear had is first court appearance today November, 30th. Judge Martinez placed the initial charge against Dear for murder in the first degree with a penalty of minimum life in prison and a maximum of death. Authorities said Mr. Dear turned a shopping center into a scene of carnage last Friday. This event is relevant because three people lost there lives because someone else was against abortions. I'm devastated that someone could actually go into a clinic where the motive is to help people but instead Robert Dear takes the lives of the people just needing customer service. I think this will never stop happening, I feel like there will always be someone against something else & they will go above and beyond to prove that point like Robert Dear did with abortions. I chose this article because it is recent and disappointing.

    Article Title: Clinton plays the politics of gender

    On December 2nd Hilary Clinton spoke at the Atlantic Council Women's Leadership in Latin America Initiative in Washington on Monday.It states that If Hilary Clinton is elected in 2016 than she would be the first woman president of the United States.They believe that accomplishing this his will be a powerful for female voters.This is relevant because she will be the first woman to ever become President of the United States.I feel as though her being the President will be a tremendous change amongst everything. beings though she is a female I wouldn't expect her to take on a role that a man would do as President. I believe that there will be too many responsibilities and too much pressure for her to handle. I think that it is going to be even harder for her even though woman are voting for her, its going to be hard for her to gain votes from Republican women who doubt her honesty. I chose this article because it stuck out to me. Just the thought of having a female President will make a positive impact around females all over the world. That goes to show that woman can achieve anything possible even if its meant to be a males job.

    Article Title: San Bernardino: At least 14 people killed in mass shooting; two suspects dead

    Article Date:Wednesday, December 2, 2015

    Who: Police, county health department employees,suspects

    Where:San Bernardino, California

    When: Wednesday, December 2, 2015

    What happened: During a county health department employee holiday party, two shooters opened fire killing 14 people and injuring 17 others. The shooters quickly left the scene. A manhunt was set out for two suspects of the mass shooting. A police car spotted the suspects and pursued them. The woman suspect drove the car, while the male suspect shot out of it. The shootout left both suspects dead.

    Why this event is relevant: Several people died during this tragedy. The world should be aware of these mass shootings that happen all too often.

    Reaction: Honestly, I’m not surprised that someone would just open fire on a group of people like this. I do believe that this incident is a tragedy and the people were extremely in the wrong, but I know how there are wacky people out here and we are never truly out of harm’s way.

    Opinion: I think that this is bad for America. I think that something better should be done about who is allowed firearms and who is not. It seems like all the wrong people are allowed the carry guns.

    Connection: I chose this article because it was relevant and convenient.

    Article Published: December 2, 2015

    Article Title: Martha MacCallum: The untold story of the campus 'rape crisis'

    Two college students were at a college party drinking too much when it began to turn into more than just partying. The 2 began kissing and touching. The girl’s friends who knew she was too drunk to make decisions for herself stopped what was going on and took their drunk friend to her dorm. The boy & girl who were kissing decided to begin to text each other and decided that they would link up later and have sex when the girls friends left. On her way to his dorm she threw up from being so drunk. The next morning they began texting again, the girl wanted to go collect her belongings from the night before. Neither the boy or girl could remember any details from the night before
    Within the next 10 days the boy was being accused of rape. He had to go in front of the school’s judicial council. He was to report with no lawyer. The judicial court decided that he was responsible for that incident and many other rape incidents in the school. He had fit the description of the athletic campus rapist. This lead to him being expelled. This event is very crazy because I personally think he should not have been expelled from this college over a few accusations. Also just because he fit the description does not mean it was him that did the other rape crimes. The girl he had sex with had willingly went over to his dorm and they were both too drunk to make right decisions.

    Article Title: The title of this article is Trump: I don't think Obama 'cares' about African-Americans

    Article Date: The date of this article is Wednesday, December 2, 2015.

    Who: This article included Donald Trump and Barack Obama/

    Where: This event happened in Manassas, Virginia.

    When: This event has been happening over the last couple of months.

    What happened: At a rally, Donald Trump criticized President Barack Obama about on many things but one of them specifically was the low employment rate in the youth of African Americans. As a result, Donald Trump pledged to come to Philadelphia and speak to the black community.

    Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because Donald Trump is running for president and he thinks he can do a better job than President Barack Obama. He is also even taking the additional job of coming to Philadelphia to speak to the black community.

    Reaction: This makes me feel like Donald Trump is making a better effort and trying to appeal to the African American community more. With this being said, I still wouldn't vote for him.

    Opinion (I think..) I think that if Donald Trump keeps making positive efforts like this, he may get more votes from more people.

    Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because it's coming close to the time that people start to vote for the presidential election and this may sway their votes.

    Article Date: Updated 4:48 PM ET, Mon October 26, 2015
    Who: MJ Lee
    Where: ET
    When: Mon October 26, 2015
    What happened: Donald Trump was supposed to be a blip in the 2016 race.The summer fling has decidedly turned into the autumn of trumps and the Republican Party leaders. Trumps lingering in first place into the winter is no longer a laughable possibility. Trump had came in on lowa from Ben Carson. Trumps has came at the expense of establishment. People like Jeb bush and Marco Rubio. They are struggling to shine Because billionaire have larger life personality and the media's insatiable. Professional republicans keep holding there breath that the race will dramatically shift. but others can't hold it in. Bush had political dynasty widely expected to stay near the top of the race. They are saying that they are no good.
    My Opinion on this is trump Tryes to do everything himself and that's dose not work at all.

    Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because its something that just happened and is very new/  fresh in the news. Its also relevant because

    Reaction: My reaction to this current event was this is crazy the world can just have a day without a shooting or a killing happening. Another reaction I had was that the people who did the shooting had a massive plan, that in their minds they planned out so good. One of the suspects attended the party to make sure that their targeted person was at the party, while the other one get the weapons together to finish out their plan.

    Opinion: This world has become a very sick place. Nowadays people just keep getting killed from left to right. This is very sad. It seems like every year there's a big shooting some where.

    Article Title: Donald Trump unveils plan to slash taxes for the poor-- and the wealthy

    Article Date: September 29,2015

    Who: MJ Lee and Sara Murray

    Where: New York

    When: September 28,2015

    What happened: Trump has launched his idea on how he's going to cut taxes. He's going to make it so that people that make 25,000 and under won't have to pay. But the loophole is that people that make 150,000 you have to only pay 25%. That is a drastic drop from the previous 40%.

    Why this event is relevant: This is relevant because Trump is a big candidate in this presidential campaign. If he wins and this policy is passed then its mainly going to benefit rich people like him.

    Reaction: I think this was a very well hatched plan, but Trump isn't slick. He thought no one was going to pick up on that loophole. It almost worked but we learned a while back, almost everything Trump says has ulterior meanings.

    Opinion: I think its a good plan it should just be a little more fair.

    Connection: I chose this article because it stuck out to me. It was Trump having a good plan with somewhat good intentions. Which is truly surprising.

    Obama calls for Stronger Gun Laws After California Shooting

    December 5, 2015

    Who: President Obama

    Where: The Oval Office

    When: Thursday, December 3, 2015

    A husband and wife from California, walked into a conference center, and killed 14 people. President Obama is explaining that he wants Congress to pass a law forbidding those on the government's no fly list from being able to buy gun. So it can prevent things like that from happening. This event is relevant because of the terrorist attack that just happened in Paris. When I first read this article, I felt bad for the family of those 14 people, who were most likely innocent. In my opinion I think that the ISIS terrorist group is influencing people across the world to follow after their terrible ideologies. I chose this article because it showed how President Obama is trying to help prevent this from happening, by trying to pass a law to forbid any and everyone to buy guns.

    This article was written Thursday, December 3, 2015. The people involved in this article was Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Mike Huckabee and the Democrats and Republicans. This event took place in California. It took place on December 2, 2015. This article talks about how there was a major shooting in California. Everyone believes that the gun violence should be put to a stop. Those such as the Democrats and Republicans believe that something must be done to put this to an end. This article is relevant because it talks about how gun violence is getting out of hand and how something must be done to put a stop to this. When I chose this article I believe that it was going to talk about what happened during the shooting, but I was shocked to find out it was about the candidates giving their support. I chose this article because I wanted to learn more about the shooting that took place in California not too long ago. I've decided to connect this article to the ISIS situation because a majority of innocent people are being killed for no reason.

    Reaction: I don't like what he is doimng because of is not fair to people who nature Muslim.
    Opinion: I thinks that what he is trying to do is irrelevant and he is only doing this because he doesn't like the religion. I also think that he is doing this because mostly all terrorist are Muslims and he thinks that every Muslim is bad a and will don't he things that Muslim terrorist do.

    Article Title: War on ISIS: Why Arab states aren’t doing more

    Article Date: Thursday, December 10, 2015

    Who: Involved were ISIS officials, President Barrack Obama, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

    Where: This took place in the Middle East.

    When: This occurred in the recent four months.

    What happened: As the war with ISIS in the West is becoming more heated, President Obama has decided to assist his allies in the combat by sending over Special Forces. He has spoken to other countries such as France and Britain to make sure that his troops would be protected in their efforts to destroy ISIS. Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to help. Saudi Arabia and the UAE refuse to step farther in ISIS’s battle due to their own agenda. The country of Saudi Arabia is more focused on occupying the territory of Yemen. This is because the country of Yemen has been at the center of war between Iran and Saudi Arabia about religion. They fail to see that if ISIS is not stopped, there will be no country for others such as Saudi Arabia to conquer. The UAE simply believes that fighting in a war will destroy their economy so in that case refuse to assist anyone else in destroying the ruthless terrorist group.

    Why is this event relevant: This is relevant because the United States is helping other countries in the West against their battle with ISIS, and ISIS themselves could easily come for us. However, if they continue, they will terrorize the entire middle east in their views. Many people would die if ISIS gets their way.

    Reaction: This angers me because other countries are getting their hands dirty with blood trying to defend each other, yet Saudi Arabia and Iran believe that a silly feud over religion is more major. Many more people are at risk dealing with ISIS.

    Opinion: I think that the United States should enlist other allies to destroy ISIS, such as countries in Latin America because the more forces on our side, the higher the chance to kill ISIS.

    Connection: A connection I made was the fact that Saudi Arabia is not participating is similar to the United States being indecisive about whether to join World War 2. They both have to face negative consequences.

    What happened: Sources say that a married couple started a mass shooting at a holiday party. 14 people were killed and 22 were injured.

    Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because it talk about a threat to national security.

    Reaction: After reading this article i was shocked because id din't realize that it was that many mass shooting happening since 2008.

    Opinion: I think, that the media will some how try to twist the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California into something having to do with islam.

    Connection: I felt a connection to this article because overtime there is a mass shooting or a terrorist attack the media and society try to blame it on islam. Every terrorist attack they either blame muslims or tried to plead that the shooter was suffering from insanity. In reality, terrorism has no religion.
