A "memo of understanding" between the U.S. and Iran. What does that mean exactly? For starters, gas prices should continue to drop, at least for now. Did you hear the one about the planeload of sky-divers that crashed? Unfortunately, this is not a joke. It happened this weekend, with multiple fatalities. The World Cup means lots of visitors here from other countries. What are their impressions of America? They like it, and they like US.

The NBA and the NHL both crown new champions this weekend, and in each case, it marked the end of a long drought. The U.S. Supreme Court is close to a ruling on birthright citizenship. That doesn't sound complicated. It is in the Constitution after all. But in this case, maybe it is. You have to be really passionate about running to take on something like this.
