Sources: President Trump, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, and White House task force head Andrew Giuliani put together a team of elite lawyers — from outside the government — to challenge the Flo Balogun red card. Specifically they challenged the use of slow motion instant replay to give the red card, which they argued violated FIFA rules. The president also conveyed to Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s president, that the appeal had been filed and he believed the red card penalty was excessive. FIFA’s independent committee reviewed the decision and agreed the penalty was incorrectly given, rescinding it under their rule 27 authority.

@joshbrownatl Message me. I may can help you out.

My dear compatriots,

Decisive moments lie before us.

The assistance that the President of the United States had promised to the brave people of Iran has now arrived. This is a humanitarian intervention, and its target is the Islamic Republic, its apparatus of repression, and its machinery of killing—not the country and great nation of Iran.

However, despite the arrival of this assistance, the final victory will still be achieved by us. It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish this task in this final battle. The time to return to the streets is approaching.

Now that the Islamic Republic is collapsing, my message to the country’s military, law enforcement, and security forces is clear:

You have sworn an oath to protect Iran and the Iranian nation, not the Islamic Republic and its leaders. Your duty is to defend the people, not to defend a regime that has taken our homeland hostage through repression and crime. Join the nation and help ensure a stable and secure transition. Otherwise, you will sink with Khamenei’s ship and his crumbling regime.

And my message to the President of the United States, President Trump, is this:

The honorable people of Iran, despite the brutal repression and killings carried out by this regime, stood bravely for nearly two months. I now ask you to exercise the utmost possible caution to preserve the lives of civilians and my compatriots. The people of Iran are your natural allies and the allies of the free world, and they will not forget your assistance during the most difficult period of Iran’s contemporary history.

And to you, my dear compatriots in Iran:

In these sensitive hours and days, more than ever we must remain focused on our ultimate goal: reclaiming Iran.

I ask you, for now, to remain in your homes and remain calm and safe. Stay alert and ready to return to the streets for the final action at the appropriate time, which I will communicate to you.

Follow my messages through social media and satellite media. If disruptions occur in the internet and satellite broadcasts, I will remain in contact with you via radio.

We are very close to final victory. I hope to be with you as soon as possible so that together we may reclaim Iran and rebuild it.

Long live Iran.
Reza Pahlavi

AMERICA’S MOST PRO-GAMER PRESIDENT 🏆

[Kevin Burrell @KevinBurrellMLB]

Many young adults in their 20’s and early 30’s feel overwhelmed today, and the simple habits can be the easiest to overlook. However small steps like: showing up on time, staying organized, keep your word, and following through are powerful. When you prioritize the little things, they build confidence, create momentum, and shape both your career and your personal life. Small things matter and are a great place to start. Prioritize the small things.

Here are eight low-effort “action steps” I believe young adults can take to make a strong, positive impression—because perception is reality.

• Be On Time!

Show up and post up. Don’t be late. Arrive 5-10 minutes early for meetings and work. It signals reliability and accountability.

• Dress Above Expectations!

Not overdressed—just neat and intentional. Shower. Shave. Use personal hygiene. It displays respect for the work environment.

• Respond Quickly and Clearly!

Reply to emails, voicemails, and text messages within a reasonable time — even with a quick “Ok, Yes, Thank you, Got it. etc” It builds trust quickly. No reply—is a reply.

• Prioritize Your Calendar!

Writing things down shows that you value people’s time. It also keeps you from forgetting tasks.

• Ask Questions!

Don’t ask just to ask, ask to understand. It shows initiative and a genuine desire to learn and grow. The first six months on a new job, do more listening than talking. We have two ears and one mouth for a reason.

• Learn People’s Names!

And use them. A small thing that earns respect and strong rapport, fast.

• Keep Your Space Organized!

Whether in-person or remote, an organized space sends a message of competence and organizational skills.

• Keep Your Word!

If you say you’ll do something—do it, on time, with excellence and better than expected. Model character and integrity.

Summation: People aren’t looking for perfection, but they are looking for progress. Master the small things. Do what you love to do and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.

“Living Your Dash”
By: Kevin Burrell

“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to You; at best, each of us is but a breath.” Psalms 39:4-5

Baseball Coaches and Scouts

Have you ever walked through a cemetery? Maybe to visit the grave of a friend or relative. Every tombstone tells a story. A name, two dates…and a dash in-between. The dash is small, easy to overlook, but it contains everything! Every choice. Every relationship. Every joy. Every pain. Every victory and every failure. Our entire earthly story fits inside that one single line (—).

God reminds us in Psalm 39 that our life is brief. Not meaningless but brief. Short enough that we cannot afford to live it asleep. Precious enough that we cannot afford to waste it. Sacred enough that we must choose carefully how we spend it.

Some people leave behind trophies. Others leave behind legacies. John Wooden—Hall of Fame basketball coach, ten-time NCAA champion, mentor to legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton—left behind both. Yet he consistently taught that none of his championships, accolades, or victories defined him.

When asked about the secret to his life, Coach Wooden didn’t mention strategy, recruiting, or talent.

He said this:

“I made up my mind in 1935 to live by a set of biblical principles, and I never wavered from them. They are based on God’s Word and the teachings of Jesus.”

Courage.
Honesty.
Hard work.
Character.
Conduct.
Integrity.
Loyalty.
Virtue.
Honor.

Like King David in Psalm 39, Coach Wooden understood how brief life is. We are given two dates—our birth and our death—and one “dash” in between. What we choose to do with that “dash” reveals what we value most.

Coach Wooden lived his (dash) with one goal: to influence and impact people for eternity.

To guide them not just toward success, but toward significance. Not merely toward victory on the court—but toward a right relationship with Jesus and a life that would echo into eternity. He wanted to do more than win championships. He wanted to populate heaven.

Listen Closely: Your “dash” may be small, but it is powerful. Every day is a decision: Will you live it for yourself—or for others? Will you focus on what fades—or what lasts forever? Will your life point to you or point people to Jesus? How you live your ”dash” will matter.

Coach Wooden didn’t become great because of his success. He became great because he lived surrendered to his “dash.” Faithful and Obedient. Aware that life is short—and eternity is long.

When people look at your tombstone one day, what will they think and say about your “dash?”

I encourage you to live your “Dash” with eternity in mind.

Love God. Love People. Live Sent.

Be Worth Being,

Kevin
