Monday morning at 2:00am in Queens, New York, a man was found shot in a car. Police

found him laying in 2002 Lexus shot in the neck. I can’t believe a 17 year old (Jordan

Santos) shot a 21 year old (Jordan Santos). Their is no reason for anyone to be owning a

gun but what is a 17 year old doing with a gun at 2:00am? Jordan Santos was immedi-

ately rushed but found dead at Wyckoff Medical Center. In conclusion, Jordan Santos,

the 17 year old is charged with manslaughter.

In National News…

Two people were hiking an 8.2 mile hike along the Northern California coast of San

Francisco one hiker died at the scene and the other was injured. The cause of the death

and injury was a rockslide occurred. The Bear Valley Trail collapsed and both fell from

the trail down 70 feet. Bones had to be broken in the hiker that was only injured. Heavy,

sharp rocks pilled on top of both the hikers. These hikers wanted to overlook the beautiful

scene but didn’t pay any mind to the warning saying “do not cross dangerous beyond this

point.” The names and information on hikers is not known yet. Therefore, the Bear Val-

ley Trail is now closed for good.

Early Monday morning ONE male passenger went overboard into the ocean when travel-

ing on an Royal Caribbean Cruise. The cruises destination was to go to Port Everglades,

Florida. The cameras on the ship have PROOF that this one individual was NOT pushed

overboard, BUT crossed the railing himself. Having that said, the cruise ship had to turn

20 miles around to help find this one individual. On the bright side, not only did two

coast guard ships help with the search but also a helicopter. We will have to have a fol-

low up with this story on: what time did this happen around? Was this individual intoxi-

cated? What made him jump? and Is he reduced and back on the cruise?

Today, we are legally allowed to buy bombs online and in stores in America. Are you

kidding me? What happened to having a safe country where we feel protected to live in?

Having these EXPLOSIVE (Say ANGRY) products are on the shelf to buy in big brand

sporting goods stores! They decided to sell these bombs in sporting good stores because

of target practice. When trying to aim and shoot their is an explosion. You can buy as

much as you want. One customer bought 40 pounds in stores which can blow up your

house! You can even purchase the same amount online. Unbelievable. In 1995 this bomb

killed 168 individuals, and hurt more than 680 people in Oklahoma City.

These bombs are one type of bombs that the U.S. troops use in Afghanistan. Not every-

one should be allowed to buy this dangerous “explosion.”

In International News…

Cuba is becoming a hotspot for tourists. Having that said Cuba’s booking rate use to be

187 percent in February but today they increased 57 percent which is now, 250 percent.

The American world is taking over such as: McDonald’s, and Starbucks etc. Cuba is an

old, unique place. Many people are trying to book their flights before the American’s

come, and change everything. The people living in Cuba don’t see what the tourists see.

When tourists travel to Cuba they see ancient history which is special to them. Cubans

see old buildings that need to be fixed. Can you believe 3 MILLION ( SAY SHOCKING)

tourists traveled to Cuba in the last year? The more people that visit, the more money

their making. Therefore, change needs to be done in Cuba but this change will have to be

put off for awhile since the busiest time of year to travel is during the summer.

Continued of International news…….

ISIS is capturing the attention of around 3,400 YOUNG individuals in the Western coun-

tries. Sending 90,000 treating message to the United States, daily. Canadians near 130 in-

dividuals living in Canada take a one way plane to the middle east to join ISIS.

Teenagers, young children, and young adults are ISIS’s main target. You’re probably

thinking.. why? It’s because these young individuals tend to listen and do without think-

ing of the message being crossed and what young child doesn’t LOVE receiving gifts?

For instance, ISIS tells them about how much better the afterlife is or even offering them

a FREE house with water and electricity. The sad part is, they fall for this trap. Young in-

dividuals have NO problem joining and leaving everything they accomplished to the dirt.

ISIS are getting more creative when filming their videos on the social media and are

looking more and more like Hollywood action films. Once your in the cult, your in and

no returning home. These other countries are SO much more advanced than we are when

it comes to technology for example. America needs to step up their game and fight back

already!

In Sports…

Another current conference was held with the New York Giants in Phoenix. The Giants

are okay with the extension having Eli Manning, the quarterback finish up the year. Ben

Roethlisberger, quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers had a contract for five years and

received $99 million dollars! Eli Manning is making close to $19.75 million a year and is

still not satisfied. He feels he should get more money than Ben since he’s going really

good this year. But his interception was dropped in 2014 to 27 and 2015 to 14. Eli has

also won TWO MVP Super Bowls. Having all that said about Eli, their will be no doubt

that the Giants will give Eli more money as a quarterback.

The College football team, Florida State wants to play a game with Alabama and Auburn.

What’s it to Florida who they play? Why is Florida trying to make more games without

meetings? Florida State is also demanding who they want to play in 2017 which might be

in the new Atlanta Falcons’ stadium. Their can never be enough college football games

played. Having all that said, all games are certain that they will ALL be played.

Today, Vin Diesel names his newborn daughter, Pauline after Paul Walker. Newborn

Pauline will be Vin and Paloma Jiménez third child. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker worked

together as a team when filming the movie Fast and Furious. Vin and Paul were ex-

tremely close and Vin was devastated when Paul died. Vin said he didn’t think of anyone

else besides Paul when cutting the umbilical cord. Naming his daughter after not only his

co- worker but his best friend will always be apart of Vin’s life. The last film (Furious 7)

Candice Bergen, 68 years old is showing off nothing but pure smiles. She is happy the

way her body is. She is currently living in Beverly Hills, California. Any day, her biogra-

phy will be called A Fine Romance. This will be talking about how she loves to eat (not

healthy… LAUGH) and does not care what others think of her appearance. Today she

gained 30 pounds from 15 years ago and couldn’t be anymore proud of herself. I never

heard of a 68 year old getting happier about aging! But Candice will sure be the first!

Make sure to see her on Broadway in: The Best Man (2012) and Love Letters (2014). Ev-

eryone remember, It’s truly a blessing to get older and to enjoy each and every day!
