Hello! It is Monday, August 31.
Here are today's
top news briefs.
President Donald Trump
announced he would visit
Kenosha, Wisconsin on Tuesday.
The city has seen many protests
after a 29-year-old Black man,
Jacob Blake, was shot
seven times in the back by
a police officer, causing him
to become paralyzed.
Two protesters were shot and
killed by a 17-year-old teenager
who illegally carried
a AR type rifle.
That teenager, Kyle Rittenhouse,
is charged as an adult with
two counts of murder.
His attorney said
he was defending himself.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers
(D) sent a letter to
the White House on Sunday
pleading for Trump to not come,
but the Kenosha County
Board of Supervisors said
they wanted Trump to come.
Trump said today that
he is still planning to come.
In Portland, Oregon, there were
clashes between Trump supporters
and protesters against
police brutality.
On Saturday, there was a caravan
of about 600 vehicles driven by
Trump supporters - many of them
had large "TRUMP" flags.
Some used paintball guns
to shoot at protesters,
who threw objects back at them.
A man was shot and
killed on Saturday night.
The man, Aaron Danielson,
as known as Jay Bishop,
had a hat with the logo
of Patriot Prayer,
a far-right group.
OregonLive.com reported that
a man named Michael Reinoehl is
under investigation
for the shooting.
Reinoehl's social media
profile shows him attending
protests in support
of Black Lives Matter.
President Trump tweeted
"Rest in Peace Jay!" on Sunday
and retweeted a tribute
to him that said
Bishop "Backed the Blue" and
"was murdered... by ANTIFA."
President Trump did not
tweet anything about
the two protesters who died
in Kenosha last week -
their names are Joseph Rosenbaum
and Anthony Huber.
Trump has tweeted many
messages of criticism against
Kenosha officials for
not controlling protests.
Portland mayor Ted Wheeler
recently said that Trump is
responsible for causing the
level of violence in America,
for creating hate and division.
Trump said
Wheeler was a "dummy."
President Trump said
if Joe Biden is elected,
there would be more
violence in America.
Biden said today in a speech
that Trump has failed to protect
America and he is now
trying to scare America.
Now, here are some
Covid-19 updates.
The number of confirmed cases in
the U.S. has surpassed 6 million
as of today.
Over 183,000 people have
died from the virus.
There is a 15% decline in new
coronavirus cases over the past
week, but six states had record
high Covid-19 infections in
a single day last week:
Kentucky, Indiana, Kansas,
Iowa, Minnesota, and Virginia.
A CDC study shows that
94% of the deceased had
other health issues, which shows
that the virus is especially
dangerous for those with
pre-existing health conditions.
There is a concern that
the coronavirus is staring to
spread again in Europe.
