The Pakistani Taliban on the Bacha Khan University campus near Peshawar has suddenly laid one the if the nastiest of America withdrawals from Afghanistan, 25 miles west.

My opinion on this is that the Taliban has take a lot of the U.S. money, even though the US is in trillions of dollars in debt, and we need to stop it.

This affects the world because if Afghanistan keeps on taking money soon all the country’s will start taking money from the US.

Everyone knows of the Powerball and how you can win over millions of dollars. The latest one was the most the Powerball has every been. The Powerball was 1.5 billion dollars and some say you can be as rich as Donald Trump. People blows hundreds of dollars on a Powerball ticket and I would say it’s not worth it.

This doesn’t affect me at all because I’m not going to waste my money on a lottery ticket.

This does affect the world because the U.S. is in thrillions of dollars in dept and we’re giving people millions of dollars.

Obama takes small steps on guns: Our view

  President Obama actions on guns today that it’s less restricted than it needs to be. Obama has made some tweaks so that they make the guns more restricted. The president said that most of the killings are from mental health people. Obama now wants it to be way harder to get a gun.

 This article does affect me in every way because when I get older I’m going to have a gun. In my opinion everyone should have a weapon to save themselves from the crazy.

  This event does and doesn’t affect the world because if this law goes through it’s goign to be hard to get a gun because of all the work you have to go through, but I think there will be a smaller chance of shootings.

U.S. authorities look for militant links to shooters in California mass slaying

  This Thursday in California at a holiday party with 14 people died and many wounded. Syned and Tashfeen were killed in a shootout with the police. This has been reported to be the deadliest gun violence in the U.S.

The article does affect me and doesn’t because first off I don’t live in a big city, but you never know it could happen. It does affect me because what if I at a party or something like a party and there was a shooting and I died.

The event that occurred on Thursday doesn’t affect America that much because stuff like this happens a lot.

Honduras arrests five Syrians headed to US with stolen passports

 This Tuesday five Syrians are arrested with stolen passports and intended to come over to the U.S. where they could be planning an attack. The Syrians have made it over many states and countries, but the police don’t know if they wanted to just leave the war happening in Syria.

  If I was the men I would have just got real ID of themselves and not get fake ones. This does affect me because if the guys were terrorists they could bomb us and kill me or thousands of other people. These guys in my opinion are terrorists and they think nothing else better to do than to come to america and blow up stuff.

  This event does impact America because if they are getting by security that easy to almost go around the world then a lot of other people could do that. The men most likely are setting up something to bomb America again. Terrorista are already in america, but we don’t know when they will attack.

Florida officer fired after fatal shooting of black musician

 This Thursday Florida police officer killed a black amateur musician. The officer Nouman Raja had been on administrative leave from the police force. They announced Nounman’s dismissal on Thursday.

  If I was in the position of Raja I would not even have shot.How I feel about the article is Raja should go to jail because he obviously killed a man and should have thought twice about his decision to shoot. Raja also now has a crime of killing on his resume and not many police forces will hire him.The article doesn’t affect me in anyway because I live in a small town so no shootings happen.

  The event does and doesn’t impact the world because it does by starting more riots and more people going psycho. It doesn’t impact the world because not many people will ever know about this shooting. If Raja would have thought for a second not to shoot he would not be in jail and not be unemployed. If more bad neighborhoods find out about this it could start a roit then the whole world find out about the event that occurred. Raja is now a convicted cop with a background of murder.

Stabbing attack at university not tied to terror

Name: Connor McFarland

   In California four people were stabbed at 1:50 p.m. in the afternoon. They said it was not related to terrorism. The motive was Faisal Mohammad, but they don’t know if he targeted anymore people. Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke said he had backpack with bomb in it. The stabbing occurred at university of California, Merced campus.

   This issue doesn’t really relate to me because I live in a small town and we probably won’t never have a shooting. How I feel about this event is very sad, because almost everyday you hear someone get killed. The stabbing doesn’t affect me at all and all I can do is pray for them. The guy was probably in depression and found out a way to take out his anger.

  The event doesn’t impact that much because there’s so much going on and people won’t know about it. It’s just another killing that happens and we just need to pray over the four men that died in it. The killer is just plain ole stupid and need some help. If you’re in depression get some help you don’t need to take someone’s life to.

U.N. criticizes Czech detentions and strip-searches of refugees

U.N. human rights chief Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein accused the Czech Republic on Thursday of committing systematic human rights violations by detaining refugees for up to 90 days, strip-searching them for money to pay for their own detention.
I sad that someone would hold people in a room for 90 days. They did something and they really had to say in a room. That’s just cruelty and wrong that someone would do that to someone. How I feel about the article is that people know that did something wrong they don’t have to be in a prison for 90 days. The event doesn’t affect me because I live in Christ and he forgive me for my sins.
The event does impact the world, but Obama probably knows that this happened but he doesn’t do anything to save these people!? Hopefully the people will over there will stop prisoning people and just forgive them. The people are probably dying but they don’t care. The president or whatever they have who’s in charge needs to make it where people are not in prison for something very little.

I like this post on “Humans of New York” because this woman has a big heart and wants to change the world. A lot of animals and humans are staving today. More people should go out and be kinder.
