3 Up
1. Aid into Gaza - After days of destruction, having diplomats agree to open borders and opportunities to provide aid to those in Gaza is the biggest "Up" I can think of for the week.
2. Pentagon Drops Yemen Missiles - Was I the only one that missed this story? Kind of a big deal, no?
3. WNBA Finals - Despite he absolute gut punch it was for my New York Liberty, the WNBA Finals was a great series. Even better is the budding rivalry and drama that is brewing between Las Vegas and New York.
3 Down
1. Palestinian Hospital Attack - All kinds of emotion, drama, blame, and conspiracy theories surround this. Ultimately, it just made everything worse. All of that aside, it's just the innocent folks in all of this that makes this awful.
2. Chicago 6-Year-Old Stabbed Hate Crime - As the world goes mad, we've got this tremendously heartbreaking story out of Chicago. What is wrong with people?!
3. Samantha Woll Murder - And another one. While reports say antisemitism isn't the cause, it's hard not to feel that way considering this moment in time.
3 Interested
1. Sidney Powell Plea - Trump's indictments almost feel like last year's news with the heavy feels for what is happening in Gaza and Israel. However, it sure is interesting that Powell has pleaded guilty and is willing to cooperate with authorities on charges of obstruction of the election.
2. Michigan State "Hitler Quiz" - Seriously, it's understood that Michigan State used a third party for this, however, business and legalities aside - who does this?! Like, who approved and thought this was a good idea?
3. New Olympic Sports - I'm not sure I care all that much for baseball and Lacrosse (sorry Laxers), however, I'm so interested in Cricket and yes, Flag Football.
