Oil prices continue to fall in anticipation of a longterm peace deal with Iran, but how long will it last? It depends on what's in the deal. The inevitable breakup between Texas Tech and QB Brendan Sorsby is complete. Now the question, which NFL team will roll the dice on him? World Cup roundup: Apologies to Cape Verde, and a visitor from France, fully prepared to hate Buc-ee's, until he bought a bag of Beaver Nuggets. O.G. Anunoby, come on down! He appeared to be as high as a kite yesterday on Good Morning America, but his teammates saved the day. More than half the parents of adult children now admit to tracking their kids on their phones. And guess what? The kids are returning the favor? A small city in Kansas rolls out the welcome mat for the World Cup team from Algeria. They're even learning Arabic. The green is back at the reflecting pool on the National Mall. Algae, and lots of it. So was that $14 million worth it? We had trouble with credit cards when WE were young, and so have our kids. And THEIR kids. What will it take to break the cycle of debt?

Do you track your kids?? Do they track YOU?!

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. Is there one word that you just can't pronounce correctly no matter how hard you try? There is for all of us, including a TV news anchor in Minneapolis, who finally had to give up. The Trump Administration is going after the big AI company Anthropic again. But why? That depends on who you ask. 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. Call it an ultra urban marathon, which took two years to complete.

The Knicks are Champs and the Hurricanes bring home the Cup!
