Fyodor Dostoevsky was sentenced to death in 1849. You could say he was in quite a predicament. You might even say he was in an emergency.
Presidents Trump declared a national emergency, on the southern border of the United States, yesterday. The national emergency was put into effect to stop massive amounts of drugs, criminals, and illegal immigrants from entering the United States. This was done because of the refusal from Congress to fund the border wall. There will be at least $3.6 billion heading to funding a border wall. Democratic leaders in the house and Senate have vowed to challenge the legality of this declaration and it is possible there could be a case in the supreme court.

Profound post, but I’m not exactly seeing the connection to AP English content.
I concur with Bennett.
Thanks for the informative update Ritchie! I really appreciate how you are relating what we're reading to our nation's current events. Not many people can make these connections while they're reading and a lot my friends do not even keep with what's going on in the world. The only things they read are the biased news outlets based on social media, so I appreciated you bringing important things up on this blog! President Trump should have done this a long time ago, but he has really exposed how disappointing congress can be. It is very concerning that we as Americans can't come together to secure our homeland and protect the lives of our citizens. Many fellow Americans have been "sentenced to death" with the massive amounts of heroine, fentanyl, and cocaine coming across our border, which may be a slightly bigger emergency than Dostoevsky's situation in 1849.
