    "Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday if a Supreme Court vacancy occurs during next year's presidential election, he would work to confirm a nominee appointed by President Donald Trump. That's a move that is in sharp contrast to his decision to block President Barack Obama's nominee to the high court following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February 2016."

    The TikTok was taken at home but it held racist comments and content on it. The school had no Right to punish them because it was not their business, on their property, or targeting anyone in particular. However, Racist, Lewd, or illegal Content is not ok and surpasses the first amendment; Freedom of Speech.

    This article really opened my eyes to see how the flu compares to the Coronavirus. Even with the vaccines rolling out, Covid cases will still happen even if they are decreasing. It will take numerous years to get back to "normal" and hopefully, this pandemic opened our eyes to realize just how serious these diseases and viruses can be.

    i have thought from the beginning that covid will not disappear. but it will get better like the flu, thanks to vaccines and people becoming immune.
  • zoedeveney on 01 Mar 21
     
    I think this article kinda showed me a perspective that I didn't really think about. I kinda just blew off everyone saying it was gonna go away because obviously, that's just people being optimistic. But reading about the number of serious cases covid/flu wise made me realize that it is managable.
  • carsonschaa on 01 Mar 21
     
    I thought from the beginning that covid will not disappear and life wouldn't be life anymore, but I wasn't going to think about bad so I thought to myself, it will get better like the flu, thanks to vaccines older people have a better chance of becoming immune.
  • vperez191 on 01 Mar 21
     
    I did not expect that the covid deaths were going to be that high than the flu deaths until I saw the graph that the article has. I'm glad that the covid vaccine is out so it can help sick people.
  • lamador794 on 01 Mar 21
     
    I also believed that it was going to be very hard to get rid of or at least control covid but now I realize how our Nation has used all types of advanced technology and knowledge to stop it. Ieven see how we have achieved such as great overcome, the cure.
  • hannahliwai on 01 Mar 21
     
    "For fully vaccinated people, serious illness from Covid is extremely rare, much rarer than serious illness from the seasonal flu." i think this is great! seems like the vaccine is working! I have a question though... any update on the age limit for vaccines? i know when they first started, it was 16+ and then it was 18+... in china, they were vaccinating children as young as two.
  • bklopp601 on 01 Mar 21
     
    I believe that covid cases will happen even when they are decreasing. I looked at the chart and was surprised at the difference between covid and all of the other diseases.
  • jdogan on 01 Mar 21
     
    I think the thought that Covid is just going to disappear with the preventative measures has mostly just been a necessary lie or at least has intentionally not fully been explained just for the consequences of people seeing it as never going away. People already don't want to follow guidelines, but if it's never going to go away I think that would embolden a lot of people to completely disregard guidelines unrightfully.
  • aburianek421 on 01 Mar 21
     
    I think that if we had acted faster and with more intention at the beginning of the outbreak, we could've been back to normal already. Australia had some of the harshest quarantine restrictions before things really got bad and they're essentially back to normal already. As long as we don't get overconfident maybe we can avoid extending this quarantine longer that it needs to be... again.
  • ericschmidtberge on 01 Mar 21
     
    In the first few weeks, I did think covid would just blow over but after a year of living with it clearly didn't. I think that as time passes hopefully in the next year or two the vaccines will help create immunity and keep people safe and eventually we can return to a somewhat normal life. I've heard the analogy of covid being like how airport security came to be. A sad tragedy occurred but because of that event, we learned to put precautions in place to prevent it from happing. I feel like once covid gets under control we will be better equipped to not only survive another virus if that is the case but we are also better equipped to prevent the sickness and death from existing ones as well.
  • tsilva588 on 02 Mar 21
     
    We're still gonna be dealing with losses while covid is around but the vaccine can hopefully start to clear this up for people. So I think that within the next year these cases will go down.
  • milo_nordman on 05 Mar 21
     
    This article was definitely an interesting read. I think that even with the vaccine being given out it will take time to get back to normal, especially when people are still disregarding safety guidelines.
  • carsonschaa on 08 Mar 21
     
    I agree with tsilva588 because we are still gonna be dealing with losses while covid is around. But the whole world hopes that the vaccine can hopefully start to clear this up for people because I think within the next year these cases are going to go down.
  • thomaschau on 08 Mar 21
     
    With the Covid vaccine rolling out, I think the number of fatalities from Covid will go down, But I think the number of people getting infected won't be going down by a large percentage since people don't trust the covid vaccine and people even then don't want to wear a mask. I think life won't be normal for the next 2-3 years.
  • arosas733 on 08 Mar 21
     
    This article was interesting to read and very true, it won't go away completely but hopefully, soon we will be going back to normalcy. We have been learning to live with it and just like any virus, it is going to die out but we should always be cautious no matter what. Keep clean and take care of ourselves, as it overall doesn't have as much of an effect on healthier people.
  • bflores247 on 08 Mar 21
     
    I agree, while yes it may still go down, this pandemic reminds us how bad things can get, we are lucky to brush with a not so deadly disease, yes people still die from it, but the mortality rate is exceedingly high, thanks to huge advancements in medical research and development, and, on the optimistic side of things, many good ideas and products came out of this, restaurants being able to deliver, seeing loved ones on a screen to be able to connect with them more easily, and widespread connectivity with everyone.
  • mcaamal on 08 Mar 21
     
    this was interesting because the situation was put into perspective. They say that is should be kinda normal around the summer and that is such a good new because that means senior year will be more normal. I was kinda hesitant about the vaccine but apparently it is really helping even though there are some people who still do get sick is has come down to less people.
  • jtaulborg103 on 15 Mar 21
     
    I thought this article was interesting because it helped me gain a better perspective of COVID-19. Even with vaccines coming out, the world will not be put back on its axis because of all the damage that´s been done. It will take a while for things to return normally. Even with the decreasing number of cases, there will still be people who get it. It will still spread around like any other virus. I knew it was obviously a bad problem but it really put it into perspective for me.
  • rosellyrosas on 15 Mar 21
     
    This article was very eye-opening. A lot of people think that the coronavirus will soon end, according to the article, it says that the coronavirus will be not be extinguished anytime soon. The University of Johns Hopkins says that people thinking the virus will end sounds like a fantasy and not a reality. The virus caused a lot of people harm and sadness. Many things were ruined by the virus and have opened a lot of people eye's to appreciate and value what they have. Having the vaccine it'll help us make the virus manageable, just like the flu.
  • gbrochu915 on 22 Mar 21
     
    I liked this article because it gave me a better view on how corona is and how long it will take for people and us to get back to our "old world" and how it compares to other viruses.

  • Brice Johnson on 13 Dec 11
     
    I understand where he is coming from saying high schoolers are too young to understand this. This topic is all about money, where it is coming from, how much money is needed, how much they will get from it. We do not know what goes on behind the scenes of this deals. Maybe instead of saying we are too young he should of said we are uninformed.

    I also think its good that students are trying to make good points on why they shouldnt own the MAC. There taking a part in this and trying to stop it. But will it help? We will see later on....
  • Dakota Smith on 13 Dec 11
     
    If he has enough gumption to tell Emily that he is disappointed in her for collecting signatures from uninformed student then he should have enough knowledge to know that we won't know whats going on if we aren't educated on this topic and that it is the generations above us job to educate us and pass on what they have learned to the younger generation. So if he is disappointed in Emily then he should also be disappointed in himself for not doing his job.

    I think it's crazy just how large the rates actually were compared to what was being reported. My mom is a teacher in Omaha, so it makes me kind of worried that the rates are that high. I definitely think that they should be working on adding more protection for students and staff.
  • arosas733 on 26 Apr 21
     
    I think it's good they are going through these measures to protect students and its crazy how high the rates are and something should be done about it
  • jackiegonzalez on 03 May 21
     
    I'm glad that schools are pushing for more testing. I think that students who are asymptomatic are more likely to think they are immune to Covid-19 and start disobeying Covid-19 safety measures. It's problematic because these students can spread Covid-19 to someone who will truly suffer from it. So, more testing is a good way to prevent this from happening.
  • jdogan on 05 May 21
     
    A lack of testing always gives the illusion that things are better than they are, so it's good that they got this done and found out these numbers because I think it's very important to realize this number especially since it was six times what was previously observed.
  • hannahliwai on 10 May 21
     
    it's good that they want to test kids more regularly. some kids will just brush it off and say "it's a cold". this way, the kids who are tested pos. won't be affecting others as well as the asymptomatic students.
  • peytongrenoble on 18 May 21
     
    It is smart to be continuously testing students to know how the spread is going and in order to make sure that the students are being properly taken care of to prevent future cases.
  • sydneykolln on 21 May 21
     
    It's a good idea that schools are wanting to do more testing. It's crazy how these rates are getting and it's better that we do something about it now.

    If I didn't have sports to play and could watch an artist I enjoy for free I would participate in a study like this. The reason being I'm healthy and all of my friends who have gotten the virus said it felt like a cold. (I know this isn't the case for all people of course)
  • josephinelamb on 03 Sep 20
     
    Yes, because i'm healthy and have a small chance of dying from the corona virus.
  • mdunlop359 on 03 Sep 20
     
    I think I would try and avoid an experiment like this. Don't get me wrong, it sounds interesting and enjoyable but even if I could listen to a band I enjoy, there is always going to be a looming fear of me getting the virus. I wouldn't be able to focus on the music.
  • jcooley186 on 03 Sep 20
     
    I don't think I would consider being apart of experiments like this, mainly because I don't want to get it and maybe spread it to others who didn't even attend it, like my family or friends. It would just make me nervous, to be honest.
  • makosa23 on 03 Sep 20
     
    I wouldn't try. because I don't wanna get Corona. or I don't wanna spread to people.
  • tbohls135 on 03 Sep 20
     
    I would volunteer because it's a free concert and it would help bring back more live events that would be safer and help us get back to normality plus I'm a healthy kid so I'm low risk.
  • bayliegirres on 03 Sep 20
     
    I would volunteer because its a free concert and I am very healthy and if I were to get it I would most likely recover from it and be fine.
  • saralong057 on 03 Sep 20
     
    I would definitely volunteer to be apart of this study. I think we need to try and gain some normalcy back into our lives. Another reason I'd try this is because I'm very healthy and haven't been exposed to anything. With this study underway, we as people could see if this could be an effective way to get back to our lives
  • xxchrysxx on 03 Sep 20
     
    I wouldn't volunteer because yes its a free concert, and yes I'm healthy so I'm at low risk but, I have lots a family members who are at high risk. Even if I'm fine and get it, those who are around me and are at high risk might not be in the long run. I rather stay safe for others.
  • baileyherrera123 on 03 Sep 20
     
    Ok so, this is like a 50/50 no I don't want corona but if I can help humanity to figure out more about this virus then i would do it hands down no questions asked.
  • laurenhansen168 on 03 Sep 20
     
    I would volunteer to do this study because I think it would be a cool opportunity to see where you can get COVID and where it is mostly at. I would absolutely volunteer just for the experience and to see what is around me and to see if we could actually use something other than masks.
  • livmorrow on 03 Sep 20
     
    I think I would definitely participate in this study because I think society needs to try to get back to normalcy and try to figure out how to go back to times before covid.
  • hannahdaviss on 03 Sep 20
     
    I would volunteer because I'm all for trying to get things back to normal. I think that corona has changed our lives enough, and I don't think we should have to live in fear of going in public without a mask.
  • tylerhar on 03 Sep 20
     
    I would not volunteer because its dangerous enough trusting some masks material to protect you from spreading or receiving the virus. As nice as a free concert would sound, it would be too risky to make it as a test. If they used something other than humans (or easier to maintain animals) for testing, it could make tests less worrisome when post-results are gathered.
  • carmellahargens on 03 Sep 20
     
    I would do it because I know that I can't die from the virus, so I think it would be cool to find out how quickly it actually spreads and how many people are really effected by it
  • auggieneff on 03 Sep 20
     
    I would volunteer because i think it would be fun to go to a concert also it would help get more information on covid and how to deal with it.
  • aramirez036 on 04 Sep 20

  • stephanie2003 on 14 Sep 20
     
    I would not put myself in this situation to do this while still a deadly sickness. I would not put myself in this if the risk is to die
  • margaretgrover on 21 Sep 20
     
    I would never do a study like this because I am at higher risk to get COVID and so are the people I live with, I wouldn't want to put them at risk for a concert I'm probably not going to remember in a few months.

    When it takes a apology letter is needed to work with the gov then they need some one new to take that office. If it was his own kid then it is understandable. but when he does not know them then they shouldn't bother him as much as they have. and it is true that twitter holds many things that are far worse that deal with the gov't.

Government SCOTUS Copyright

    April 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court has decided to take a second crack at reconciling two apparently contradictory provisions in the Copyright Act: one that permits buyers to resell goods without worrying about permission from U.S. copyright holders, and another that controls the importation of copyrighted material into the United States. It may sound arcane, but this is a hugely-consequential issue. The case in which the Supreme Court granted certiorari involves a Thai grad student reselling used foreign-manufactured books on eBay, but the high court's ultimate ruling will profoundly affect the approximately $63 billion "gray market" business.

    I think Obama is doing the right thing. We are paying over $900,000 a year to keep one inmate in this prison which is way to much. Other prisons cost anywhere from $30,000-$70,000. I don't get why it costs so much to keep inmates there.

    MEXICO CITY - Mexicans responded angrily to what they saw as a weak performance by President Enrique Peña Nieto, who appeared to let Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump emerge unscathed from a meeting Wednesday. Peña Nieto tried gamely to take the high road and avoid arguing with Trump, who didn't waver an inch in his plans to build a wall along the two countries' border.

    Keeping the two high schools the way they are is not entirely because of racism. Some of the kids go to the schools out of tradition. I think for this case the courts are going to have to decide what defines integration. Do the races need to be 50/50 in schools? Is it still integrated if it is 75% white and 25% black?

    "When they go low," Clinton says on the campaign trail, "We go high," her supporters shout back. In 2008 and 2012, President Barack Obama's campaign aides anointed Michelle Obama "The Closer." This year, Hillary Clinton may well designate her most popular surrogate the starter, the reliever and the pinch-hitter, too.

    The first lady, Michelle Obama has been known for her ability to persuade and has since been called "the closer" for her husbands previous campaigns. Just recently Mrs. Obama opened up with sexual assault cases against Trump, (not to her of course but past charges or claims). Thus being the second time this year alone that Michelle has connected with her audience and left her point clear with support.

    In her speeches you can tell she is very passionate about what she is saying. She is a democrat so many will say she's only taking Hillary's side because of that, but it goes deeper than that. She believes that Hillary winning will have people standing up against Trump and his bad comments towards women. She doesn't think that what he says is an okay thing for anyone to say, especially someone who might become our president.

    An 8-year-old Colorado boy was ordered to remove his Peyton Manning Broncos jersey at school because of its perceived street gang affiliation.

    Vanatta said her son, Konnor, a third-grade student at Monfort Elementary School, was ordered to take off the No. 18 jersey because it could represent the 18th Street gang.

    Wow, he's 8. I doubt he's in a gang. Schools are a bit too lenient...

    That's stupid he is eight years old he is supporting his favorite team or his favorite player, and i highly doubt that he is in a gang.

    I could see this happening in high school, but saying a 8 year old from Colorado is apart of a L.A. gang? school officials really need to straighten things out.
  • Jese Ramos on 14 Sep 12
     
    I agree with everybody else this was a stupid thing to do to an eight year old, how would he ever have knowledge of being or represent a gang.
  • Jaidlyn Bookout on 14 Sep 12
     
    I think this completely ridiculous considering the age of the child. He is 8 years old, it's hard to believe that the school so strongly believed that he was involved in an actual gang that they made him remove his jersey.
  • Wesley Eledge on 14 Sep 12
     
    there is no reason an eight year old boy should have to take off a jersey because of the number 18. there is no way he could have known that was gang related
  • Kacie Karbowski on 18 Sep 12
     
    I believe that schools should not be so strict about gang related clothing because a lot of people don't know that certain things you see on clothing are gang related.
  • Michaela Koopmeiners on 18 Sep 12
     
    I find this ridiculous that they're making a elementary student remove his jersey just because of a number that represents a gang. If it was a problem before hand, they should of let the parents and students know a head of time. And a 8 year doesn't even know what a gang is so I don't see what the big deal is anyways. They're just being paranoid.
