Reaction to Tucker Carlson

This article will be related to the topic of yesterday's article: BLM.

I don't know how I stumbled across the video, but I somehow found myself watching Tucker Carlson's video.
He talked about governors and state governments de-funding police. He said that these police are the ones that are protecting the public from riots and looting. He says that these governments are purposefully inciting riots. He then made this accusation which I consider insane. He said that these protesters aren't even fighting for George Floyd but are doing it to target our president, Donald Trump. 
Today I just want to talk about my reactions to this. 
As you didn't know, Tucker Carlson is a journalist for Fox News, which is a right sided news service. They usually disagree with anything that left side new sources say. I thought that maybe Fox wouldn't find a way to shame BLM, but would finally agree. I was wrong. 
Even though America is facing racism, and even though Fox News reporters have even admitted that racism is prevalent in our society, they still find a way to shame BLM.
He didn't mention police brutality at all. He made it seem that police were doing their jobs when preventing looting from happening, and that state governors de-funded these honorable men. He didn't care to mention anything about the movement BLM. He didn't care to mention how these lootings weren't even a part of BLM.
I now want to talk about him saying that all these protests were directed towards Donald Trump. Just as a quick answer to end the blog: these protests aren't directed towards the president at all. They of course show how Trump can badly handle these kinds of things, but it is obvious that these protests are related towards something that has been a problem in our country since its creation, racism. Most of the protesters are blaming the police for their brutality, and not Trump. No one holds Trump responsible for these deaths. 
That's it for the blog today.
 It definitely was shorter than yesterdays. 
Thanks for reading!

Being Short

Being short sucks doesn't it? Every time you talk to your peers you have to look up. It hurts the neck. Doesn't it suck walking through a bunch of people and only seeing the back of the person in front of you, not what's up ahead?  Don't you hate it when you really like to play basketball but you're short, making it so that you can't get some rebounds or shoot some shots that you could make if you were taller? You have to take more effort on getting space between you and the defender when you could just shoot the ball from wherever if you were taller.  Being tall gives you more confidence. You can appear more attractive. By social norms, the boyfriend should be taller than the girlfriend. That kind of sucks, because when you're short there are very few that are shorter than you. That's my rant! I am Albert Einstein.

Muscles and Working Out

I am seriously at a lack of ideas for blog-writing. So today, I'll talk about something I have only started doing, working out. I gotta say, working out consistently has been one of my long-time goals. I remember last summer I started working out everyday, but that only lasted for 11 days. It was interrupted because I had to go to a camp. After that, I never found the determination to start working out. I would suddenly work out one day but those days only came once a month, maybe even less. One of these days happened during quarantine. But it wasn't like the others. I kept working out. I don't know why I kept a routine on during quarantine but not during any other time. Perhaps it was because online school gave me a lot more time to do things I wanted to do. Either way, I started working out. I adjusted my work out based on things that I saw on youtube. For the first month I only focused on upper body. Only now am I starting to do lower body. Of course during this time...

Current Stuff

Some interesting stuff has happened recently. Mainly one. There's a teen in Kenosha, Wisconsin. More accurately, he drove to Kenosha Wisconsin, then proceeded to shoot and kill two BLM protesters. Here's what happened, based on what I know. He drove over from his house with an assault rifle. He was treated as a friend by police and was given water, probably because he was one of the few who actually supported them there. They saw him with an assault rifle. He then killed two people. The police of course heard this, but didn't act on it. He then walked back into his car and drove home. Now he's facing charges and a ton of backlash. I know this will also impact his college. What I just don't know is how people are supporting someone like this. His name is Kyle Rittenhouse. He wasn't even defending himself. He doesn't live there. He drove in from his own house to  Kenosha and shot two people. Tucker Carlson and Steven Crowder have actively defended him. Carl...
