    On Wednesday, Pope Francis urged Americans to "not be afraid to welcome" immigrants into the U.S., a stark contrast with Trump's harsh language calling undocumented Mexican immigrants "killers" and "rapists." Trump has also pledged to build a massive wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and deport the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.

    Even though Trump offended a very large group of people what he said he is still standing by it even with the Pope disagreeing with him. The Pope is a powerful global religious leader with many followers worldwide so I think it might be a good idea to listen to him and take his advice if he says that you shouldn't be afraid to welcome in new people and be more aware of what we are doing to the world and climate. Not saying jump on the band wagon but he might be slightly wiser.

    Obama is announcing "executive orders" which have the same power as a law, but there are many Republicans who believed that the President should not be able to take actions in this way without getting a law passed through Congress. What do you think?

    This is a step in the right direction for proper gun regulation but I believe that the president of the United States shouldn't be able to enact this as a law without congress because if he can that is too much power for one person.

    David Bowie was an icon, not only to people but to the genre of pop itself. "Bowie died two days after the release of 'Blackstar', his 29th album, which had been timed to coincide with his birthday. The singer had kept a low profile in recent years after reportedly suffering a heart attack in the 2000s, and it had not been widely known that he was struggling with cancer."
  • bandgirl2016 on 04 Feb 16
     
    This makes me so sad hearing that one of the famous musicians passes away from cancer. He was such a good singer and actor! You would think that doctors would have found a cure for cancer by now because now my great aunt is going though it. RIP David Bowie!!

    i think if its been 20 weeks and u havent decided to keep your kid yet or not then you have a problem because your the mother of that child and you obviously dont care about your own kid that you decided to have.For one your the one who decided to have unprotected sex and got pregnet so if you dont want the kid the your going to have then you should'nt have sex and get pregnet then.Another thing if its been longer than 16-19 weeks that you have been carrying the child then you should'nt be able to put the child up for abortion because if you have made up your mind if you want to keep the child then there is somthing wrong.

    I believe that there shouldn't be any charges against the officer for the simple fact that he told him to drop the gun multiple times loudly and clearly and was given a good amount of time to do so but then he showed his full body shining the flashlight at the officer probably triggering a fight or flight response in the officer making him pull the trigger

    I feel that the police should be charged for the murder of the Colorado man being shot and killed because this is exactly why people have police protests. The justice system is failing the system.
  • cmerksick on 06 Dec 18
     
    The fact that he had a hearing impairment was not something that the cops knew forthright and, not to give them the right for shooting an innocent man, they had reason to believe that he could have been the intruder. He was in a robe and looked to be disheveled and could very well have been a crazy man who broke into a random home. There is also the fact that it was dark and the police had no idea what to expect in the outcome of this incident. I do not believe that the cops are at fault in this incident.
  • raul-iiv on 06 Dec 18
     
    Should the cops be arrested, no why? because for one before the coped entered or saw the man they heard a shot being fire in the house which of course caused them to pull there weapons out. When they go to the door the man peaked out around a hallway which to a cop could look suspicious not only that but after multiple attempts to get him to drop the weapon he still didn't. Which was most likely because of he hard hearing but he made a terrible mistake by then coming out and pointing a flashlight at them with the gun in his hand even though the man wasn't pointing the gun at the police it was still alarming to them and there instinct kicked like hey I got a man with a gun in his hand pointing a flashlight at me like he could kill me and the reacted by shooting him dead. Although steps could have been taken before shooting a shot, there was also multiple cops at the scene and you can't predict what each cop would have done. none the less they shouldn't be arrested for the mistake of the man.
  • zane_zyla on 06 Dec 18
     
    i feel like he should not be charged because a man with a gun came out and he also had a flashlight and most guns have a flashlight attachment and so when the guy pointed the flashlight at them they thought he was aiming at them so they fired shots at him also in the 911 call they should have said something about having a gun or about the grandpa
  • gpetry355 on 06 Dec 18
     
    I agree with cmerksick It was a tragic mistake but I think they shouldn't be punished given the situation and knowledge the officers had.
  • rstuck988 on 06 Dec 18
     
    The fact that he had hearing loss was not told to the cops beforehand. The cop was In the right to shout him because he was holding a gun and would not put it down. The officer thought that his life might have been endangered. Although steps could have been taken before shooting a shot at the man, there was also multiple cops at the scene and you can't predict what each cop would have done. none the less they shouldn't be arrested for the mistake of the man. He had more then enof time to put down the gun or see who it was at the door.
  • jhaven on 06 Dec 18
     
    I feel like they didn't do anything wrong it sucks that he died but they had to make sure that their life wasn't in danger or the family's lives weren't in danger and he didn't put down the gun so they didn't know if that was the intruder or someone lived there

    Trump's approval percentages based on his tweets are back up to 50%. He is working to get the percentage much higher than it has been, because it has been pretty much at a standstill around 50%, because it goes up or down but always goes back to 50%. This is interesting because Trump is really the first president to be actively using social media so it is easier to see what the country thinks about him.

    I think this is a good decision to put this law into place because it allows exceptions for "rape, incest or medical emergency" but can still protect an unborn life.
  • erowland613 on 23 Oct 18
     
    I feel that the law is too restrictive because most women do not know they are pregnant and if you are 18 and have a kid then you might not be financially stable enough to take care of the child, then we have another kid not growing up with their parents or going into a foster care program.
  • scott9677 on 23 Oct 18
     
    I highly disagree with this. Women have the right to control what goes on with their bodies if they don't want to carry a child at all they shouldn't be made to do so. Just like if a women is married and doesn't want to have kids she should be able to get herself "fixed" she should be required to have two or more children before doing so or get approval from her spouse.
  • hayleigh35 on 06 Dec 18
     
    I feel this ban in unfair, as most women wouldn't know they are pregnant until it is too late. With this ban in place it eliminates the women's choice whether they want the child or not.
  • vclark366 on 06 Dec 18
     
    I agree with hayleigh35, most women can't even tell if they're pregnant by 6 weeks, so the bill really doesn't work in that sense, but I am glad that they put the exceptions of rape, incest or medical emergency. When they're raped, women don't get to choose whether they want to have a kid or not because it is forced upon them. In that case, they should be able to abort the child.
  • jhendrix813 on 06 Dec 18
     
    I disagree with this. These people are not going to care about them once they are born so why does it matter or effect them in any way?
  • pballer107 on 06 Dec 18
     
    i disagree because women should have a choice on what to do with that baby
  • bprice233 on 06 Dec 18
     
    I disagree with this. At 6 weeks there is a very slim chance of knowing whether you are pregnant or not. Many women have irregular periods and can be off by two weeks even. This can lead to people being unable to get abortions before they even know that they are pregnant. Even though this may make exceptions in the terms of "rape" it still is not an effective way or limit

    "Critics are protesting that his move reveals political shallowness, subverts the justice system and sends a message to aides under duress from special counsel Robert Mueller. But Trump seems to be saying,"I have this power, so why not use it?""
  • baileypeabody on 31 Aug 18
     
    When you have as much power as the president does, you must be very mindful. Pardons should be a rare thing and a thing that happens when an injustice has been prosecuted to a fair person who feels wrong about their actions. Trump is throwing around pardons like rolls at the dinner table. When you do that, it makes it seem like everyone, no matter the crime, deserves another chance, especially if they are on Trump's side. When you let power get to your head the way Trump is, instead of a democracy, it starts to feel more like a dictatorship.

    Dinesh served his time on community service by teaching people English that are seeking citizenship. Trumps presidency has been covered more widely than previous presidents but Obama granted 212 pardons and 1715 commutations so he's not going mad with power. he's doing his job. It's a good thing we're being critical and covering everything. But I don't think he's acting widely or crazy. America isn't a democracy by the way.

    It was always a cool idea of someone making a 3-D printed gun (or 3-D printed anything), but now that it is a very realistic thing it is kind of alarming that anyone with with a 3-D printer can make one and not have a permit to carry especially if these 3-D printed guns can be as harmful as others.
