A New Year, an Eventful Week

This week saw 2024 coming to end, and thus ringing in 2025. But it has also been an eventful week. Here are some of the highlights:

• Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. His funeral will be on January 9, and Old Joe Biden is making the day a federal holiday (in which federal offices will be closed), despite it not being a legal public holiday.
• Old Joe Biden has caused outrage by awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Hillary Clinton, as well as George Soros. What exactly did either of these individuals do to earn such an award? It’s bad enough Biden has commuted the death sentences of 37 individuals who committed murder, not to mention a bunch of criminals who don’t deserve to be pardoned.
• On New Year’s Day, an Army Veteran and convert to Islam named Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing 14 people and injuring 35 others. Jabbar was then killed in a shootout with police. An investigation revealed he had pledged his allegiance to ISIS- can he be branded a traitor? Meanwhile, an American soldier named Matthew Alan Livelsberger parked a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada and blew himself and the vehicle up, but not before shooting himself in the dead. Seven people were injured. Apparently Livelsberger left behind a manifesto, suggesting that the bombing was politically
  motivated. Authorities are trying to determine if the two incidents are
  related.
• Mike Johnson was re-elected as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives for the 119 th Congress.
• In the aftermath of Bashar al-Assad fleeing Syria, Muslims began taking the lands of Christians, even telling them to leave their homes or they will be killed. Hence, Syria is turning out like Iraq or Afghanistan.
• Two airline crashes occurred during the week. First, there was Jeju Air Flight 2216, which crashed into a wall in Muan, South Korea. 179 people were killed. It was the deadliest plane crash ever to occur in South Korea. Then, two aircraft collided on a runway at Haneda Airport in Tokyo. Five people were killed and eighteen were injured.
• The following people also died this past week: Wayne Osmond and Linda Lavin.

  Thus, it was an eventful week with several tragedies, particularly for the New
  Year. But hopefully 2025 overall will be a good year.
