Lupita Nyong'o: “I really had no idea what The Odyssey was” 😭

Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago.   That moment changed our city forever.

Prince William parrots his father Charles's words and says Islam is a religion of peace and understanding from which other religions can learn.

🚨🧵‼️An 8th grader “shocked” the crowd with this graduation speech, but honestly, the school is actually getting exactly what they deserve. Let me be clear, this child (like the rest) is a victim of Marxism Brainwashing & the perpetrator is the education system.

Just briefed by a senior Trump admin official. I feel VERY good about where the Iran negotiations are going. TOPLINE: "NO DUST, NO DOLLARS" -- Iran doesn't get a dime unless they actually produce real results. Details: The Trump administration believes it is now just days away from a memorandum of understanding with the Iranian regime. It won't be signed today or tomorrow, the official says, but that's primarily because communication with Iranian leadership moves very slowly. It takes "their system five or six days to actually approve" anything. "Fundamentally, it's very hard for them to even give us an answer." "95 percent of this is done, but literally changing words requires, occasionally, days of deliberation within their system." "We're mostly there and we feel like we've got a commitment on the enriched stockpile. We feel like we've got a commitment on the Strait of Hormuz. And we're haggling a little bit over some of the language." The deal President Trump is seeking would open the Strait of Hormuz and end Iran's longterm nuclear ambitions. Step 1: "They open the straits. We lift the blockade. We give the world economy some breathing room. They commit to giving up their highly enriched material." "They open the strait the minute we sign the MOU." Step 2: "You actually figure out the detailed mechanism by which they give up that highly enriched stockpile and you negotiate that over a certain period of time, probably 30 days." Sanctions will be on a dial. Good behavior gets rewarded. Bad behavior gets punished. "They don't get any money... if they do actually give us the material, then they get some resources... sanctions relief and things like that." Relief is phased in when Iran actually delivers. If they deliver their stockpile of enriched uranium, they'll get some sanctions relief. If they deliver real long-term commitments to stop nuclear enrichment, they'll get some sanctions relief. Giving Iran "sanctions relief" immediately for nothing "has never been in any part of the deal." "No pallets of cash, period." What's changed over the past few weeks? In negotiations, the Iranians "are clearly talking details about getting rid of the enriched stockpile in a way they never have before. The second significant change that we've seen is a willingness to stop enrichment, whether that's forever or for a time limit of some duration, we're going to figure that out in the details in negotiation." But it's important to remember, under the Obama Iran deal, they still had enrichment. That was always their redline. "They have acknowledged that is something they're going to have to give on." "The fact they're even willing to say that is a significant change from where they were two months ago," said the senior Trump administration official.
