In the 2020 U.S. presidential election President Trump claimed that the election was rigged against him. He made numerous claims that the ballots were counted wrong and that they started counting ballots that didn't even exist. He started making these claims when it looked like candidate Joe Biden was going to win the election. He had "reason" to believe this because due to the pandemic they were doing mail in ballots to avoid in person contact. This year they counted the in person votes first which were mostly for  Trump's reelection. The mail in ballots were counted last  because of the pandemic and they were mostly for the Biden. "This election is about greater voter fraud, fraud that has never been seen like this before," said Trump in a 46 minute address posted on social media. The more Trump made false claims the more his supporters started to believe him and get furious. They started to demand recounts along with Trump. Trump got his campaign to recount the ballots which made the campaign end up spending $3 million for a partial recount in Wisconsin's Milwaukee and Dane counties. This did not end up in his favor because in the Milwaukee county recount they actually found 257 more votes for Biden and 125 for Trump which led Biden in the lead of 132 votes in that county. Trump continued claiming that voter fraud is the reason why he lost in many states but many of these allegations were debunked and dismissed.

In Mecca now know as Saudi Arabia is where now one of the worlds second largest religions originated. Islam was created around the 7th century during the time of the prophet Muhammad's life. Followers of Islam are called Muslims. The prophet of Muhammad was born in Mecca in 570  A.D. Muslims believe he was the final prophet sent by God. According to Islamic texts and traditions an angel visited him and ordered him to recite the words of Allah (God). Muslims believe that Muhammad continued to receive revelations from Allah throughout his life. Then in about 613 he started to preach throughout Mecca the messages he received. He said that there was only God and that Muslims should devote their lives to God. The main belief of Islam is that all prophets sent by Allah to humanity shared the same message, and that was the message of monotheism. Muslims accept 5 primary obligations in life which are called the "Five Pillars of Islam". Muslims have to Salah which is pray 5 times a day facing toward the Ka'bah. They also Zakah were they have donate some of their income to the welfare of the community as a whole. They Sawn which is having to fast which is basically where they have to abstain from eating, drinking, smoking, sexual contact, and they must also avoid undesirable or imperfect behavior from day from dawn to dusk. But Sawn has its exceptions for not fasting during Ramadan. Muslims also have to say a phrase known as Shahada and they also do Hajj which is something they have to do once in their lifetime, they believe it offers a chance to wipe away past sins and have a new start.

    In China during the 10th century women would bind their feet. In most cases it would be the mothers who would break her daughters' feet to restrict growth and make the feet as small as they could.

The city of Venice became popularly known as a great place to commerce. A major reason for this was because of its geographical location. The city itself is positioned out on the Mediterranean Sea, and this helps with having goods shipped from Europe and Asia. From there, goods can be shipped to the surrounding continents, like Africa, Europe, and Asia. Goods included jewelry, glassware, artwork, golden coins, and much more. With Venice being in the way of trading routes between continents, the city benefited greatly from trading that occurred there, and merchants became wealthier.]]> 2021-08-26 17:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mendocit000_3/qj0cwriw6smnpr20/wish/1698955353 mendocit000_3 https://padlet.com/mendocit000_3/qj0cwriw6smnpr20/wish/1698999100 Haiti Earthquake of 2010
