In a move that has sparked widespread condemnation, French President Emmanuel Macron extended an official invitation to Syrian interim leader Ahmad al-Sharaa—formerly known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani—to visit Paris. Al-Sharaa, the former leader of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a group with roots in al-Qaeda, assumed the role of Syria’s interim president following the ousting of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.

A Controversial Figure

Al-Sharaa’s past as the head of HTS, an organization designated as a terrorist group by the United Nations and several Western countries, has raised serious concerns. Despite attempts to rebrand himself as a statesman, his history of leading extremist factions cannot be overlooked. His leadership within the organization, known for its violent tactics and association with al-Qaeda, paints a troubling picture of his political journey.

As the head of HTS, al-Sharaa orchestrated campaigns that targeted both civilians and Syrian military forces. His rise to prominence was steeped in violent rhetoric and action, and his connections to radical Islamist ideologies raised alarms in Western capitals. However, as Syria navigates its fractured political landscape, al-Sharaa has tried to portray himself as a key player in the…

Today, Kelly Loeffler, Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), joined the nation in recognizing National Small Business Week after President Donald J. Trump issued a formal proclamation declaring that the week would take place May 4-10, 2025.

“This National Small Business Week, we honor the vital role that America’s entrepreneurs and job creators play in making our country the greatest in the world – and we celebrate the return of growth and prosperity to Main Street thanks to President Trump,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. “From farms to factories, hardworking small businesses are the engine of our economy, the heartbeat of our communities, and the foundation of our nation’s strength. With the America First agenda, they are a key part of a historic comeback that is restoring opportunity and renewing the promise of the American Dream.”

“Entrepreneurship is the foundation of a free and prosperous Nation and the engine of the American economy — built by men and women who work hard, take risks, and believe in the power of the American Dream.  From our fields to our factories to the frontiers of technology, our small businesses embody the American spirit, driving growth and creating new employment opportunities,” President Trump said as part of his proclamation. “Our history of ingenuity and grit is unrivaled, and by renewing our support of small businesses, we are raising wages, strengthening American families, and leading our country and the world into a new Golden Age.”

National Small Business Week recognizes the contributions of America’s 34 million small businesses. Small businesses make up 99% of all businesses in America and create two out of every three new jobs – employing about half of America’s workforce. SBA honors National Small…

Started in Las Vegas in 2004, the yearly off-season NBA tournament, the Summer League, is a testing ground for franchises to showcase their youngsters, giving the first look at freshmen, sophomores, and G League prospects, together with other mini-leagues like the California Classic and Salt Lake City Summer League.

Held in July, it is a proving ground for players fighting for NBA roster spots or hoping to impress coaches before the regular season.

Just like before, in 2025, expect lively games as under-the-radar players try to make their mark. But out of all the players that will be present this summer, seven names to look out for are listed below, picked from rookies, sophomores, and G League affiliates from opposing teams.

Cooper Flagg – Boston Celtics Rising Rookie

No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Cooper Flagg is a 6’9″ versatile forward whose collegiate stats at Duke—16.5 points, 8.7 boards, and 2.1 blocks—proved his two-way potential.

Flagg’s two-way ability to defend multiple positions and score as a self-creator has him positioned as a favorite in the Summer League. Though he is well known, his limited exposure in the NBA keeps him off the radar for casual fans, so he is expected to take over in Las Vegas with highlight dunks and defensive stops.

With such stats on his name and the “underground” fame around him, Flagg is definitely a good choice for…
