  2. Don McGahn heads for the exits. The departure of the White House counsel was announced by President Trump on Twitter. McGahn will leave this fall after the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh (which start Tuesday). McGahn's had an interesting ride. He has been a huge part of Trump's successful conservative reshaping of the federal courts, but he's also clashed with the President over the Russia investigation.

  7. How technology is changing medical field. Sometimes it might take a while to get a doctor appointment. But this app changes the game you don't even have to leave the house. With a small fee of 38 dollars you could get in touch with a doctor within hours. They can send prescriptions to your local pharmacy as well. Which is great because most med. care you still have to pay a fee depending on what kind you have.
    Kayne West apologize. What I know right so pretty much he is apologizing for calling slavery a choice. He was surprise to see how many African Americans look up to him. I think it was very grown up for Kayne to do this.

  8. John McCain the former senator has died. His loss was a sad one for the country. He had terminal brain cancer. McCain had planned out his own funeral in a lot of detail as of what he wanted to happen. He knew his death was coming.

    In New Mexico a group of suspects found allegedly planned to attack Atlanta's Grady Hospital. 11 starving kids were found and they were being trained to shoot guns. All the suspects are going to be facing a charge of 11 felony counts of child abuse. They will face a penalty of up to life in prison.

  9. A federal investigation has started into the tragic sinking of a duck boat on a Missouri lake that killed 17 people in July. The feds got involved after the US Coast Guard determined that the deaths resulted from "misconduct, negligence or inattention to the duties" by the captain of the duck boat. The probe will also look at the company that operates the tourist ride. It's one of many investigations into the tragedy. Survivors of those who perished are also suing Ripley Entertainment, which operated the duck boat tour.

  10. Apple plans to make their next phones bigger than their last phones. We can expect the phones to be way too big. At the point where it's uncomfortable to hold. McDonald is taking cheeseburgers out of their happy meals. I didn't know there were cheeseburgers in there, this is disappointing.

  11. Sony manages to stay on top of E3 another year and beat Microsoft with their new game releases in PlayStation vs Xbox. Sony manages to keep showing off it's greatest strength in the face of Microsoft greatest weakness.

  12. The article found on The New York Time addresses about school education and one in particular teaching about the outside world in modern society. The middle school in Brooklyn New York talks about in quote, " society’s racist beauty standards, to Musical.ly fund-raisers for L.G.B.T.Q.+ rights groups, to creative writing pieces, artwork and political letters that urge others to help victims of police brutality, mass incarceration and the school-to-prison pipeline." This has brought a lot of awareness to the students about outside conflicts that is happening right now. It gives them a opportunity to voice out their opinions and discuss it as a class. In my opinion, this idea sounds great and realistic. Not only does it apply for further knowledge, it relates to lessons in history from time to time. The second current event is about the loss of John Mcain. Quote, " For years, Mr Trump had used Twitter and the presidential bully pulpit to mock and condemn the senator from Arizona. In death, Mr McCain found a way to have the last word, even quietly making it clear through friends that Mr Trump was not welcome at the services." John was making a saying from his death.

  13. California has started off bad with Wildfires, Mudslides, and A deadly flu season. The wildfire which is now labeled the largest wildfire of California's history as of August 6,2018. The heavy rainfall in southern California triggered mudslides which claimed 20 lives itself. The flu has claimed 27 young lives which more than normal in these seasonal times. Firefighters and other disaster helpers have been risking there lives to save others and through all of this president trump has said he will support stopping these disaster from creating anymore trouble.

  16. A replica pf Florida's voting website was made. A ten year old boy was able to hack into it in less than 10 minutes. 34 others were also able to do the same, raising safety concerns.

    A natural gas pipe line exploded in Texas. Luckily this only injured 5 people and resulted in no casualties. The cause of the explosion is still currently not known.

  17. A fire in Chicago killed 10 children while they were over for a sleepover and left no survivors. The fire started on the second floor of the house. According to the fire department who investigated the building after the incident, the fire could've been caused by fireworks or cigarettes from people who were smoking out on the porch.
    Kanye West got emotional during his apology for his controversial remarks about slavery that caught the attention of many viewers. The rapper was involved in the controversy in May after saying slavery "sounds like a choice" during a puzzling interview with TMZ Live. But soon after, he gave a proper apology at an interview to the public.

  19. My opinion on A Show Made for Hollywood: Inside the Dream Team Los Angeles Rams they say Lebron's lakers arent the flashiest team in la because of who the rams have picked up in the offseason to make them a dream team and a super bowl contender but last year when the rams had the number 1 offense they didnt excecute and they lost in the first round by the best team the atlanta falcons. LeBron makes ever team better and thats why they picked up even more players as lebron came

  20. Apple plans to make their new phones bigger than older one's they already have. I really don't agree with this there phones are already a size of a gorilla's hands. Also John McCain just dead which is really sad 4 day's before his 82nd birthday he will be truly be missed.

  21. Donald trump touts Puerto Rico when the hurricane Maria came through the islands last year in September of 2017. Trump didn't even say he was grieving for the people of Puerto Rico he did not even try to help the people in Puerto Rico with anything he said it is hard to put things on an island. John McCain was a true American when he didn't see anything right he would not wait later to correct the person he would say it right then and there. I don't blame him for not inviting Donald trump to his funeral, he made his faith in God before he passed away we should honor I'm for what he has done for us Americans.

  23. After reading about our army's new weapon to shoot down helicopters on Fox News, I feel like this will be a big step up to our country. Also this new weapon would make our country more safe and secure. This new weapon for our army can ensure that our soldiers would win more gun fights and suffer less loses. Last but not least this new weapon can make other countries think twice about going to war with us.After reading about Maine officials building a gravestone for lobsters who died in a truck crash, I feel like its very stupid. I know animals should get the same respect as humans but, to me this is just a waste of time and money. It would be better to have a memorial then a grave stone to the lobsters who died in the truck crash in my opinion.

  26. The current event that I found says that Trump called Graham after giving his speech about McCain saying that Graham did right by McCain. Trump believes that McCain was "not a war hero" because he was captured. Another current event that I found is on August 3rd, California had a wildfire and thousands of people had to evacuate. The next day the wildfire continued to grow and a few firefighters were killed while trying to fight the blazing flames.

  27. One event that I found was a declaration by Donald Trump that NBC News "fudged", or messed up an interview he did in 2017 after he fired the former FBI Director James Comey. After reading this article, and having seen multiple interviews by Trump, it is evident that he is lying. He has always been a liar because the way he speaks about politics, the citizens of other countries and people in general shows that he is a racist bigot with no respect for those who oppose his views of white supremacy. The other topic I reviewed was a statement Trump gave about the violent actions the Democrats would take if they were to win in November. Trump obviously is scared that he will be impeached as a president and these ignorant comments he makes are a result of his fear. Therefore, he keeps speaking like people actually plan to do damage to what he has done in office, which are really improvements because nobody else in this generation has caused so much racial tension other than him.

  28. 'Uber driver stood his ground and killed man who threatened to shoot him, sheriff says'
    This article was a very interesting. The reason why i say this is because usually no matter who shot first they usually get arrested for no matter if it is self defense. Though this article prove me wrong since it was indeed self defense. It also taught me a lesson as well/ Which is you can never be to careful and to also be cautious around people if the said they have a gun. Since he said he had a gun he made the Uber driver scared so when he saw something shiny his first instinct was to shoot which would be almost everyone reaction.

  29. The suspect who opened fire during a Madden video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, on Sunday actively targeted other gamers in his shooting spree.David Katz, a 24-year-old gamer from Baltimore, Maryland, was in town for the tournament at GLHF Game Bar at the Jacksonville Landing, a downtown shopping and dining complex. He walked past patrons in other parts of the restaurant and then opened fire on his fellow competitive gamers before killing himself. This was all over a madden tournament.

  30. One event is that there are about to make a 5G. This will be 100 times faster then 4G. Another event is that 10 kids died in a house fire in Chicago. The fire could've been caused by fireworks or cigarettes. This are my two events.

  32. South Korea decided to ban coffee in schools even for teachers. I guess its a good idea for students but I think Teachers should be able to buy coffee. Trump called out the CNN president and said that he should be fired. trump says its because of how often CNN attacks him on the news and spread fake news.CNN even responded saying that they do not lie on the news and to not blame the CNN president.

  34. Police are working two crime scenes near a southeast Atlanta elementary school that investigators say are linked. A car had crashed nearby and reports said that a man was spotted with gunshot wounds. The man is still turned out to be robbed by three men and they shot him. Then they stole his car and crashed it. Another current event that has happened is that a man was shot while driving on a busy highway. The young man had stopped at the gas station to get gas before work. That is when a black vehicle pulled up to the side of him and he knew their was something suspicious about them so he immediately told them that had had a family and that he didn't want any trouble. After that he got in his car and tried to go to work. They followed him to the highway and started firing bullets at his car.

  37. I think that EA Sports cancelling their next 3 tournaments after the shooting is a good idea. It's a good way to take extra precautions and pay your respects to the people that lost their lives. It is a good decision to imprison the officer(Roy Oliver) who shot the teenage boy (Jordan Edwards) for no reason.

  38. Detroit authorities ordered drinking water to be shut off at all city public schools after high levels of lead and copper were found in water at more than a dozen buildings with antiquated plumbing systems. There has been no evidence of kids getting lead poisoning yet but it was a safety precaution. Lead in water can lead to a stunt in children's neural development. The water has yet to be turned back on.

  39. Texas ex-officer sentenced to 15 years for killing an unarmed teen. He also has to pay a fine of $10,000. last year in April, he fired into a car full of teens killing a high school freshman. The police body camera played a key part in the conviction. This incident had spark many protest and a debate on police conduct.

  40. This Morning or yesterday a man was shot twice while someone was trying to steal his car. He is recovering but if the man wanted a car he could of went to KIA or something to buy one it's no reason to shoot someone because you don't want to get up and work for the things you want. Another is a 10 year old girl is collecting to shoes to give to the homeless. I think she this is a good idea because she is giving back.

  41. There was a fatal shooting after a high school football game in Florida, a 16 year old boy was arrested from connections. Joerod Adams was killed, and two people were injured. And A 9 year old, Jamel Myles committed suicide because he was being bullied for coming out as gay at his school. Both of those stories are heartbreaking, and it's sad to hear that someone so young thought that suicide was the best way out.

  42. Once upon a time there was a girl named Elle she had a best friend named lee. Lee felt he was in the shadow of his brother the most popular boy in school and Elle had a crush on his brother. So Lee decided to come up with a rule that they could not date each others siblings. Elle tried to hide her crush on Noah but everything changed when Noah kissed her in front of the whole school.Noah confessed his love for Elle and the decided that they wanted to date so they tried to hide their relationship from thye public and especially Lee. Lee eventually finds out and stops talking to Elle unless she broke up with Noah. Lee sees how heartbroken Elle is puts them back together and Elle and Noah spend as much time as they can before Noah goes off to college. THE END!!

  43. One article I found spoke about an Florida Uber driver who said he killed a man in self-defense. Robert Westlake claims that he shot and killed Jason Boek after Boek tailed his car and tried to run him off the road. Authorities say that an angry Boek thought his girlfriend was the Uber passenger. Once both vehicles stopped, Boek threatened to shoot both Westlake and the passenger who claimed to not know Boek but to have been escorted to the vehicle by his girlfriend. The second article was about the Army reexamining expectations of enlistment as it pertains to drug use. Currently, even someone who admits to marijuana use legally, in a state where it's permitted may not be allowed to enlist. The Army has showed a willingness to reconsider these guidelines.

  44. some time last Wednesday, Trump and CNN had a word fight on twitter over a widely question story, with Trump delivering counter attacks to dodge answering the questions about the story. One of the counter attacks Trump made was that one of CNN's co writers, Carl Bernstein. CNN replied back that they don't tell lies, they report the news. They also said that their may be some foolish stories but Carl Bernstein isn't one of them. This dispute went on for a few days eventually getting Trump's oldest son into it, trying to defend his father.

  45. JCPenny a former shopping supergiant, is now a leaky boat in the process of sinking. The former go-to shopping center, closed 141 stores last year, and its downfall dates back to 2006 when cheaper sellers such as TJ Max and Kohls, sprung on the scene. After hiring a new chief executive, many believe its downfall began when, without testing their audience, the company changed its logo, advertisements, and store designs. This suddenly no longer appealed to their former audience, but instead middle income customers. However, what really started Penny's steep decline was the ending of clearance sales and coupons. With a debt in the high millions, many critics believe that a comeback is highly unlikely. In later news, Roy Oliver an ex-police officer was found guilty on murder charges. In April 2017, Oliver shot through a car leaving a party killing 15 year old Jordan Edwards. While he is serving a term of 15 years Jordan's parents believe the court was too lenient. This was one of few convicted black teen cases and Oliver plans to appeal, with the belief he was wrongly convicted.

  46. On August 3, thousands of innocent lives were taken. Due to the fires in California. By August 6, the wildfire dubbed the Mendocino Complex was labeled the largest wildfire in California’s history. President Trump has pledged his support. At least 4 firefighters have died in the fight against these blazing fired.
    The other topic researched was on August 16, heavy flooding in Kerala has left at least 73 people dead, and displaced 85,000 people.

  47. The first article I found was about a Wisconsin couple that was arrested last Friday for allegedly keeping children in makeshift cages in their home, police said.
    Police arrested Travis Lanier Headrick, 46, and Amy Michele Headrick, 39, after receiving evidence that the couple was keeping their children in cages. On Monday they were charged with reckless endangerment, child neglect and false imprisonment, Monroe County authorities said. My opinion on this is it's disgusting. Adults should not treat children in such a way especially parents because they look up to you. The second article I found was about a A woman whose boyfriend beat her best friend to death with a hammer before the couple dismembered the body, stuffed the remains in plastic bags and dumped in New York City parks, police said Wednesday.Daquan Wheeler, 31, and his girlfriend, Ciara Martinez, 30, were arrested and charged after Lisa Marie Velasquez’s remains were discovered in Crotona Park and near the pier in Barretto Point Park in the Bronx last week. Authorities had released a sketch to identify the dismembered body. Martinez, as she was being led out by police Wednesday night, told reporters that Velasquez was her “best friend.” My opinion on this is that it is reslly sad how people lose their lives so quickly.

  48. I think that EA Sports cancelling their next 3 tournaments is a very smart move. It allows those who participated to be able to take time off to be able to calm themselves down. It also gives the time to pay their respects to those in whom they lost. South Korea banning coffee could be a good idea, but at the same time not really at all. This means that if teachers decide have to stay up all night grading papers how are they supposed to get through the day...

  50. A current event from August 29,2018 "The mother of a Alyssa Alhadeff, one of the students killed in the Parkland school shooting, was elected Tuesday to the Broward County School Board." Her intent is to make schools more vigilant.


    Second current event on July 26, 2018 "File:Crying children who have been separated from their families at the U.S. border.webm
    ProPublica recording of crying children separated from their families.

    Detained children sitting within a wire mesh compartment in the Ursula detention facility in McAllen, Texas

    Detained children in a wire mesh compartment, showing sleeping mats and thermal blankets on floor
    The Trump administration family separation policy, described by the Trump administration as part of its "zero tolerance" policy, was an aspect of U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration policy. The new guidelines were implemented in April 2018, and, following immense public opposition and political pressure, were suspended for an indefinite period of time on June 20, 2018, through an executive order.

    Under the new protocol federal authorities separated children from their parents, relatives, or other adults who accompanied them in crossing the border." I think this is very unfair to children.

  52. There’s a huge problem on the west coast of Florida there’s red algae outbreak all along the west coast and around the side of the Gulf of Mexico. This red algae is known in the US coasts but not in high amounts this algae is extremely fatal to fish due it releases a toxic in the water that causes death to most aquatic life. This is making huge impact on the commercial fishing and tourism of the west coast of Florida.

  53. Current Event 1
    Another investigation on the disappearance of a man could effect the Mueller investigation. the way how this could work is by reminding the Grand Jury of a law written in the US constitution about what should and should not be released to the public and regulations about subpoenas. If the Grand Jury votes in favor of Stuart McKeever, the man behind the disappearance investigation, it could invalidate the Russia investigation.
    Current Event 2
    Microsoft is releasing a new white Xbox One X and white Elite Controller on November 14 of this year. It will cost $499.99 and will be available for pre-order later this year. Also, it is automatically bundled with Bethesda's new Fallout 76 game. I think this is worth the money if you want to upgrade and get a free game.

  54. A past event was a report of a woman push off of a cliff and was injured bad. Also the one that pushed her off might be facing 1-3 years in prison. I personally can't decide whether the punishment should be at this type of risk, but let alone her being young she shouldn't have pushed her off.

  55. President Trump has ignored lessons after John McCain's passing. Every since McCain's passing, McCain earlier before his death stated t\hat he didn't want Trump to attend his funeral.
