NFL
The season has kicked off, they went to Brazil and the Chiefs lost to the chargers, Aaron Rodgers had an okay first game but they need to protect the old man if they want him to make the ravens look great on defense and offense and Ty Johnson had a great game in Buffalo.
It should shake out to be an interesting season.
MLB Playoffs
The O’s look terrible this year, it was off but they had a glimpse of greatness in the 9th inning against the dodgers. They are still building something, and they most likely will be in for a long season next year.
News and Politics
Charlie Kirk
I did not know who he was until yesterday, so this is what I know.
White Male, Shot and Killed in Utah he was 31 married with two kids.
He was talking on a Utah college campus, he was a right wing republican whose narrative was divisive.
He was not a political candidate but a pundit, who had a right wing conservative following.
His messaging especially on gun control is and I quote
"We must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty...I think it’s worth having a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."
In the simplest of analogies he believed that you had to break some eggs to make an omelet, and unfortunately he was one of the eggs.
I want to discuss that his life ceases to exist, but for those who were there at the event, have to live with that the rest of their lives and those who now have watched it also carry that burden. It is very widespread online and if you or people you know do not want to see it, turn off auto play on your applications that you view most to avoid seeing something you do not want to see. Here is how to do that
It is not normal to watch someone be killed and if you are experiencing trauma around this please seek help and talk with someone.
