Horoscope: Thursday, July 16

The experiences so foreign to you in the beginning become your daily life. Aries (March 21-April 19) The image of an overhead shot is interesting because overhead views reveal relationships between things that are hard to see from ground level. When you’re in the maze, you see walls. When you’re above the maze, you see the route. Taurus (April 20-May 20) You think you know what you want, but since humans are famous for wanting what’s detrimental to their well-being, you’re open to suggestions from the wise.

Our youngest daughter, who has always been close to us, went through a stressful divorce. Her husband had an affair, and she divorced him.

Ending those stops, Trump wrote, would be “playing right into the criminal’s hands.” “We CANNOT give up one of ICE’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC ...

US intensifies strike campaign on Iran

The U.S. reimposed a naval blockade on Iran and intensified its airstrike campaign Wednesday in retaliation for Tehran’s attacks on ships trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The American strikes hit an Iranian army barracks, killed at least seven troops and wounded hundreds of people across the country, Iranian officials said. Days of back-and-forth strikes by the U.S. and Iran across the Middle East — and renewed threats to the waterway crucial to global energy supplies — have shredded the interim deal to end the conflict and the region could tip back into all-out ...
