[ad_1] Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is closed to all traffic due to US violations of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). President Donald Trump asserted that the waterway was open to commercial shipping. “Due to recent unlawful movements by United States military forces in the region, transit through the Strait of Hormuz is currently not possible,” Tehran said on Sunday. “As soon as stability and calm are restored, all requests will be reviewed according to scheduling and the necessary permits will be issued.” When asked if the Strait of Hormuz was open by NBC News on Sunday, Trump responded,…

[ad_1] The U.S. launched a new round of strikes on Iran Saturday after Iran was reported to have attacked two ships Saturday which attempted to travel through the Omani channel of the Strait of Hormuz without coordinating with the Iranian government, and the IRGC retaliated with strikes on U.S. bases in the region.

[ad_1] Yet another civil conflict is brewing this week as the Supreme Court tackles a number of foreign citizenship debates, including Temporary Protection Status (TPS) and Birthright Citizenship. The court has ruled that hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian migrants residing in the US under TPS are no longer safe from mass deportations (a win). But, they have also ruled in favor of migrant anchor babies (a big loss).

As an avid fan of the U.S. men’s (and women’s) national soccer teams, I have been following the debate closely. Commonly identified culprits include: America’s “pay to…
