Clevelandurbannews.com and   Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.co m WASHINGTON, D.C.-  President Donald Trump and Iranian officials have reached an initial agreement intended to end more than three months of war in Iran and to reopen the Strait of Hormuz,  a narrow, strategically vital waterway connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.  The US-Iran Deal to end the war, scheduled to be formally signed on Friday in Switzerland, marks a major breakthrough in the conflict that set the Middle East ablaze and shook the global economy. Many of the deal's provisions, including a promise not to develop or seek a nuclear weapon, are similar to those negotiated by President Barack Obama when he was in office, a deal that Trump quickly eliminated when he took office for his first term in 2017.  "The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!" Trump wrote on social media . Meeting with French President Emmanuel...

Clevelandurbannews.com and   Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com CLEVELAND, Ohio-Former Cuyahoga County Domestic Relations Court Judge Leslie Ann Celebrezze (pictured) , a Democrat on the bench since 2009 and a former administrative judge of the court who resigned from the bench late last year after being charged in Common Pleas Court with third-degree felony tampering with records, was sentenced Monday to 60 days in jail and handed a $10,000 fine. She faced up to three years in prison. Under Ohio law, a judge is automatically disqualified from acting in his or her official capacity while a felony charge is pending. Celebrezze's current term ends in January 2027. Her law license has been suspended by the Ohio Supreme Court for two years, with one year stayed. County Prosecutor Mike O' Malley bragged about the prosecution to the mainstream media, an indication, said sources, that it might have been politically motivated, although Celebreezze and O'Malley are both Democrats...

Proposed Cuyahoga County sin tax increase on alcohol and cigarettes will not make ballot this year...Blacks generally oppose the increase...By Clevelandurbannews.com, Ohio's Black digital news leader

Clevelandurbannews.com and   Kathywraycolemanon linenewsblog.com Staff article ,  CLEVELAND, Ohio - The proposed Cuyahoga County "sin tax" increase that would have tripled or quadrupled taxes on alcoholic beverages and cigarettes is a no-go for this year after Ohio House Speaker Matt Huffman declared the state will not grant permission for the county to put the tax hike on the ballot .   Black residents and grassroots leaders in Cuyahoga County generally oppose the sin tax increase . The sentiment is overwhelmingly critical across Cleveland’s lower-income and minority communities, where the proposed hikes on cigarettes and beer are widely viewed as a regressive measure that disproportionately burdens marginalized populations. In addition to opposition from several Black leaders and community activists, the push to raise and extend the tax failed for several key reasons: State Blockade:  Democratic County Executive Chris Ronayne and local sports teams had lobbied the...
