Mark Madness, A Short Take

 

Sports fans across the globe who are engulfed in March Madness, are going to watch various teams via for this year’s national championship in both the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournament.

I’m keeping it simple; I’m looking forward to Tuesday nights match-up in the women’s Elite Eight match-up between the Louisville Cardinals and the Stanford Cardinals.

After watching the Louisville Cardinals demolish the injury riddled Oregon Ducks Sunday night, I admired the star power of Dana Evans, a two-time Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year. Evans matched her career high by scoring 29 points against the Ducks with some awesome assist help from her teammate Mykasa Robinson.

On paper, the Stanford Cardinals are the better team. Stanford can bury threes or take it to the paint and play defense with the best of teams, and the Louisville Cardinals are going to need more then Mykasa Robinson and Dana Evans on Tuesday, or so it’s been said by an ESPN commentator.

Dana Evans buries an NBA distance three-pointer.

President Joe Biden Speaks Well

 On March 11, 2020, the Coronavirus was declared a pandemic.

“A year ago, we were hit with a virus that was met with silence and spread unchecked. Denials for days, weeks, then months that led to more deaths and more infections.” President Joe Biden said.   

The total deaths of American people from the Coronavirus is 527,726 people. More deaths than World War I and II, the Vietnam War and 9/11 combined.  

President Biden talked about the division of states and the American people because of this pandemic. Too often we’ve turned against one another Biden said. Asian Americans have been harassed, attacked and scapegoated, and this behavior toward them is wrong and unamerican Biden said, and I completely agree with him.

Biden made it clear, all U.S. citizens, 18-years-old, and older will be eligible to receive the Coronavirus vaccine by May 1, of this year.

The American Rescue Plan, Biden signed into law not only gets many American’s $1,400.00, but also aids many unemployed people, helps small businesses, lowers health care premiums for many, and will cut child poverty in half according to experts Biden said.

Biden again expressed sympathy for Coronavirus victims and those close to the virus victims, something Trump never did.
