NukeDeal: Iran and six other countries including the US, Britain, Russia, and China today announced they reached an historic deal to limit Iran’s nuclear development for 10 years in exchange for lifting international oil and financial restrictions.

President Obama said this morning “This deal is not built on trust. It is built on verification.” He said inspectors would have access to all Iranian nuclear facilities and anything they find suspicious.

Obama practically challenged Congress to reject the agreement saying, “consider what happens in a world without this deal.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately denounced the agreement calling it “a historic mistake for the world.” He said, “Iran will receive hundreds of billions of dollars with which it can fuel its terror machine and its expansion and aggression throughout the Middle East and across the globe.”

PolitiSpeak: Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton rolled out her agenda of economic fairness yesterday in a major policy speech saying, “I believe we have to build a ‘growth and fairness’ economy. You can’t have one without the other.”

Clinton spoke about corporate tax reform to encourage growth, immigration reform to bring immigrants into the “formal” economy, renewable energy and even affordable childcare as a spur to economic growth.

But her real target is narrowing the gap between huge corporate profits and stagnating middle class wages. “Hard working Americans deserve to benefit from the record corporate earnings they help produce,” she said.

Nation: New York City has agreed to pay $5.9 million to the family of Eric Garner, the street corner cigarette salesman killed with a police chokehold on Staten Island. The death of the 43-year-old Garner and the clearing of the officers who killed him set off days of marches in New York with protesters chanting Garner’s last words “I can’t breathe.”

>President Obama announced he is commuting the sentences of 26 non-violent federal drug offenders saying they had been sentenced to so much time “their punishments didn’t fit the crime.” It’s part of his effort to revamp criminal justice, including harsh mandatory sentences. Obama sent a personal letter to each inmate saying, “I believe in your ability to prove the doubters wrong, and change your life for the better.”

The World Turns: The Pentagon is making plans to allow openly transgender people serve in the military, Defense Secy. Ashton Carter announced. It’s a big step, coming only four years after the military allowed openly gay people to serve.

How many transsexuals there are in the military, or in the general population, isn’t certain. Some estimates put it at between 0.2 and 0.3 percent of the general population, which would be about 700,000 in the United States.

Also on the sexual orientation front, The Boy Scouts announced that they would allow openly gay scout leaders to work with the kids. They accepted gay scouts in 2013.

Bad Rap: The Rapper 50 Cent apparently doesn’t even have that. He filed for bankruptcy. The musician, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, has been shot nine times and now has been mortally wounded in the wallet.

He made a mint on his 2003 album “Get Rich or Die Tryin,” but he’s been shoppin’ ‘til he droppin’ and owes more money than he’s got. He lost a $5 million invasion of privacy judgment to a woman who said Jackson acquired a video of her having sex with her boyfriend and posted it online with crude commentary.

Despite his troubles, Jackson is living large. He has a nine-bedroom Connecticut mansion with two-dozen bathrooms, a gym, a billiard room, racquetball courts, and a disco with stripper poles.

Take Me Out: An Oakland A’s fan is the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit against Major League Baseball claiming the fans are not sufficiently protected against foul balls and errant parts of shattered bats. The lawsuit on behalf of Gail Payne claims “She is constantly ducking and weaving to avoid getting hit by foul balls or shattered bats” and that she fears for the safety of her husband and daughter.

It sounds like the lawsuit of a spoilsport but sometimes the fans get dinged. A Boston fan was hit last month by a shattered bat and bled profusely. Major League Baseball says it’s re-examining fan safety.
