Doctor Accused of Molesting U.S. Gymnasts to Plead Guilty to Other Charges
Dr. Larry Nassar, a former team doctor for USA Gymnastics, signed the agreement June 23. He's scheduled to change his plea from not guilty to guilty on Tuesday morning in a Grand Rapids, Michigan federal court. According to the agreement, Nassar will plead guilty to three different counts relating to child pornography. Each count could be a 20 year prison sentence. I believe he deserves a lot longer than 20 years. He's a doctor, he's supposed to help with injuries, not being a pervert towards them.

Americans Don't Want Senate's Health Care Plan, but it's Unclear What They do Want
Americans really, really don't like the Senate bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Only 17% of U.S. adults approve of the health care bill. In fact, a majority of Americans now approve of the ACA, also known as Obamacare- but just nine months ago, that wasn't true. I believe us people need to make up our minds on what we want. First we didn't approve of Obamacare but now it's more approved of compared to the Affordable Care Act.

ACLU Files Suit Against White House Election Fraud Commission
The American Civil Liberties Union is suing President Trump's vote fraud commission, charging that the body isn't following federal law requiring it to be open to the public. The lawsuit joins a growing number concerning the commission that have been filed by civil liberties groups in recent days. I believe that something should be done. This just adds more and more to Trump's plate. Hope he can handle it as our president.

Trump Son Admits to Meeting Russian Lawyer with Offer of 'Helpful' Info for Campaign
President Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., admitted Sunday to meeting last summer with a Russian attorney because she "might have information helpful to" his father's campaign. The startling admission by President Trump's son is only the latest twist in the ongoing scandal over Russian interference in the election and whether or not his campaign colluded with Russian officials. I still believe Trump had Russian officials help him win the election. This just furthers my belief that he did.

222,000 Jobs Added to U.S. Payrolls in June; Unemployment Rate Rises to 4.4%
An estimated 222,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy in June, according to the monthly employment report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday. "The job gains were better than expected- most economists predicted a gain of 180,000 jobs," NPR's Chris Arnold reports. The unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.4 percent from 4.3 percent- a 16-year low that was hit in May. I believe with more jobs being added, it'll give more people different opportunities to earn some money. I also believe that the pay rate will go up more due to this increase in jobs.

Money is the Root of all Evil
Money is the root of all evil. That saying has a lot of meaning behind it. The definition of this trite saying to me is that money is the reason this world is so angry. To an extent, I can agree. I agree because people like Donald Trump come along and rub it in our face. They gloat about how much money they have, what they can afford and whatnot. But I disagree in a way. I disagree because we all need money to survive and thrive. To be able to get by. But the people that show off how much money they have are the ones that prove part of the point that money is the root of all evil. Another reason as to why money is the root of all evil is that people rob stores, banks, and even other people just for money. If it weren't for the money, people wouldn't rob others. If it weren't for money, we wouldn't define people by their social class. The way that people live separates everyone. You'll rarely ever see an upper-class high school kid hanging out with a lower-class, home-schooled kid who works two jobs just to help pay for his/her parent's bills. If money were non-existent though, a lot of things that we need in this world would not be existent. What currency would we have? What would we use to pay for things? That's why money is the root of all evil.

Trump Says 'I Think it was Russia' and 'Others Also' in Election Meddling
Appearing next to Polish President Andrzej Duda, Trump accused Russia of "destabilizing behavior" in a rare criticism of the country. Trump has said over and over that he wanted to improve relations between Russia and the United States. When Trump was asked if he could definitively say that Russia interfered in the U.S. election, Trump responded "I think it was Russia and I think it could have been other people in other countries." I believe Trump definitely won because of Russia's interference with the election. He's acting really suspicious towards the Russia involvement. If he won legitimately, he would do everything he could to prove himself.
