Since then, every year mass shootings are increasing and we all talk about it, forget about it, and do nothing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What are the problems, and why is there this psychological impact inspiring many people to shoot others and take their own lives. Why are guns so easily available? In 2023, there are about 40 mass shootings. From January 1 until January 25, there were mass shootings by states; California 7, Florida 5, Illinois 3, Louisiana 3, Texas 3, Ohio 2, Maryland 2, North Carolina 2, Virginia 2, and Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, Utah, Michigan, Alabama, Minnesota, Arizona, Mississippi, and Kansas have one mass shooting. Our elected representatives are looking at these figures, but are busy in their politics and they want solutions in the benefit of their supporters (lobbyists). There are 27 people dead in California alone within the past two weeks and 20 injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The administration is looking more for federal help with money, rather than finding the solution. The solution can be against the Republicans or against the Democrats, but the elected officials should find the solution regardless of the party. Guns are not the only culprit in mass shootings, illegal immigrants coming to the US might be a problem. The court system and private jail system might be a problem too. We need one clear voice from the people: find the solution, otherwise we will not elect you again. On Jan. 25, there was another shooting with three killed near Seattle, Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lately, many dissatisfied employees have killed former bosses, coworkers and families. We all should learn that the employees are working for money, but they are humans too. Outside the shop they are equal human beings. Please treat every employee with respect and dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former Vice President Mike Pence asked his team of lawyers to find all the classified documents from his Indiana homes, which will be handed over to the national archives. Very good. But the question remains if he knew that he had classified documents. If he did, then he is wrong, and if he didn\u2019t, then he is a real person who wants to find out his staff\u2019s mistakes. This all comes after he recently did an interview where he said he did not have such documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden and Trump both have a problem with keeping secretive classified documents. Biden has offered the Justice Department a chance to look in every room of his entire house. A good proposal, but it is late, and how many places have documents no one knows, as some have been found in three places and not even under lock and key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany approved sending heavy battle tanks to Ukraine. They are close to Russia and as they were afraid to be retaliated by Russians. If that happens, they will be at fault themselves. , The U.S. followed suit and sent Abrams tanks to Ukraine. No one is trying hard enough without taking sides to settle the problems between Russia and Ukraine. The U.S. and its allies are clearly taking Ukraine\u2019s side. So, the war may go on for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first time in two years, scientists set the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight. It is due to the threats of nuclear war, COVID-19 and infectious diseases, and other factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lincoln Park will receive $3.5 million in federal funding towards the \u201cLincoln Park Restoration Project.\u201d Lincoln Park is lucky to receive grants and funds a few times for further development, which has significantly changed the face of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Have a wonderful week.
