On Media Outlook News:  After previously getting denied, parts of Trump's 90-day travel ban are set to take effect until the Supreme Court hears the case again. For those unaware, the 90-day travel ban was set for travelers coming from six Muslim countries (Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen). The Muslim ban was denied before but was partially enforced by the Supreme Court this time around. This decision by the Supreme Court overturned all of the lower court decisions that blocked the ban. The court gave insight into the decision, saying, "An American individual or entity that has a bona fide relationship with a particular person seeking to enter the country as a refugee can legitimately claim concrete hardship if that person is excluded. As to these individuals and entities, we do not disturb the injunction. But when it comes to refugees who lack any such connection to the United States, for the reasons we have set out, the balance tips in favor of the Governm...

On Media Outlook News:  hether human beings are innately meant to be monogamous is a debate that’s been going on probably for as long as we’ve existed. Rapper Eve, who has been married to Maximillion Cooper since 2014, is weighing in on the debate. The “Gotta Man” singer detailed how she had to step out of her comfort zone to find love, and she shared her thoughts on monogamy. “Monogamy is a decision that you make, like not drinking and driving,” the star said during an interview with  xonecole.com . “That, to me, is what it is because, as women, we can keep two if we wanted to. I do think that we are more evolved; we’re more mature. Our emotions do stop us from doing certain things, but it’s not impossible, and men saying, ‘Oh, men aren’t meant to be monogamous,’ that’s bullshit.” The 38-year-old also stressed the importance of establishing a better work/life balance. “I don’t even think I thought about being a wife or mother, it was more like, this is ...

On Media Outlook News:  It’s become pretty standard now for Black celebrities to get asked about the Black Lives Matter movement during an interview. Actress Halle Berry recently gave her  opinion  on the movement at the Cannes Lion Girls Lounge while in conversation with its founder, Shelly Zalis.

It may not seem significant to you, but that’s how we start. Have you called your local politicians, have you written a letter?’” Berry went on to say, “When they say they’ve done nothing, I say, ‘Well, don’t talk to me … because you are part of the problem because you are sitting here spewing negativity and complaining.’” This is probably how the Academy Award-winning actress feels when it comes...

On Media Outlook News:  Seattle's first-in-the-nation $15 per hour minimum wage law is hurting the workers it aimed to help, a new study has found. The working poor are making more per hour but taking home less pay. The University of Washington paper asserts the new wages boosted worker pay by 3 percent, but also resulted in a 9-percent reduction in hours and a $125 cut to the monthly paychecks. The law also cost the city 5,000 jobs, the report said. Seattle's minimum wage ordinance, passed by the Seattle City Council and signed by Mayor Ed Murray in 2014, was sold as a way to close the income inequality gap and help those struggling at the bottom of the economic ladder. More than a dozen cities and counties, mostly in California and New York, followed suit. "This is a two-edged sword," said Jacob Vigdor, one of the team of researchers studying the issues for Seattle. "And if you raise this minimum wage the way Seattle did you run the risk of actually t...
