    When you think about the NBA, or more specifically basketball in general, players like MJ or LeBron may come to mind. Maybe you think about great franchised like the Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, Cavs, or Warriors. Casual basketball fans often make quick conclusions about a team without actually exploring their full potential. Sometimes, we forget to stop and think about the real masterminds behind the great legends of basketball; the coaches! Since the Celtics are having a great season, even without a set of paramount players, Brad Stevens is my point of interest.…

    If the Newseum is torn down, the first amendment will not have a place to be celebrated just for itself, so there will be no place to celebrate the first American Constitutional freedom. President Trump is pressuring Congress into passing a bill that will start a project to make room for new monuments. The project will consist of tearing down monuments that the government feels are unnecessary. The project will ruin DC and the American spirit. If the bill does pass, the Newseum should definitely not be torn down since it is a reminder of what America is, it will have horrible economic effects on the country, and tearing it down will diminish the American spirit.…

    My fellow citizens: With every inauguration in this country we fortify the seedling of our country: the decrepit two centuries old constitution. All standing before me, we are American even though some weren't born upon American soil, but rather united on the belief that we choose to hold in an archive written centuries ago by the brilliant authors that came before us. Although these words may be documented on paper, they alone are worthless. It is our job in government to execute these duties- by the people, for the people. Since 1789 every American President who has given this address has had a common goal of economic prosperity; in conclusion, the time has come where we continue the pursuit of economic prosperity.…

I ask this question because some people just kill others for no reason or because they want to seem or look cool or bad. With the Markeith Lloyd story he never respected, loved, or cared for his girlfriend at all if he decided to take her life and her childs.
