  1. Going to news,google.com and typing in the search engine medical. I found an article, TRUMP STOPS ISRAEL FROM EXPORTING MEDICAL MARIJUANA, PUTTING FUTURE OF $1 BILLION INDUSTRY IN DOUBT. 
  • This would be a good choice for a longer, ~1,000 word post because the Times of Israel states that “Netanyahu told his cabinet ministers he had ordered the pause specifically to mollify Trump, who has opposed cannabis legalization measures in the U.S.” I would be interested in why Trump is against legalizing medical marijuana in the U.S.
  • I did a Search Google on “Israel has abandoned its plan to export cannabis to the U.S.”
  • Times of Israel also discusses this topic.
  • This article was published February 9,2018.

2. Going to news,google.com and typing in the search engine money. Came across an article, This One Number Shows Just How Bad the Stock Market Slide Has Been. 

  • This would be a good choice for a longer, ~1,000 word post because the stock market this year 2018 “has lost more than $3 trillion in total value. “To put that in perspective, investors lost only around $500 billion in stock market wealth in 1987’s Black Monday market crash” (the time, money.)
  • Investigate what is causing the rapid lost in stocks.

3. Typed in the google search engine Of course Donald Trump wants a big, shiny military parade. 

  • This would be a good choice for a longer, ~1,000 word post because”Trump tells Pentagon to plan a military parade”(cnn). What is the purpose of the parade. The article shares that Trump got the idea from the parade Bastille Day parade that he attended whe he had visited France.
  • I did a search google on Bastille Day parade and came across an article by the Washington Post, which said “Although Trump’s parade, like the French one, would feature the nation’s military might, it might send a very different message, some European defense analysts and columnists said.”
