Beyonce set a record for having the most Grammy Awards last Sunday, but people looking for racism everywhere were upset that she was “shut out” of the major categories like Album of the Year.
It was ironic that one angry rantfest was a National Public Radio show called Pop Culture Happy Hour. They were mad on Monday that “very white” artists kept beating her.
If the Biden administration did covertly blow up the Nord Stream pipelines, as has been alleged by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh, then that would be an impeachable offense, according to Victor Davis Hanson.
Popular podcaster Megyn Kelly invited Hanson onto her show Friday to discuss a stunning new article from Hersh accusing the Biden administration of having blown up the Nord Stream pipelines last September.

His pronouncements could hardly sound more drastic.
In interviews and public appearances, Yusuke Narita, an assistant professor of economics at Yale, has taken on the question of how to deal with the burdens of Japan’s rapidly aging society.
“I feel like the only solution is pretty clear,” he said during one online news program in late 2021. “In the end, isn’t it mass suicide and mass ‘seppuku’ of the elderly?” Seppuku is an act of ritual disembowelment that was a code among dishonored samurai in the 19th century.
Due to a significant security threat on the Israeli rescue and relief mission in Turkey, and following a joint situational assessment with the heads of the IDF Home Front Command and Search and Rescue Units which took place on Saturday night, United Hatzalah CEO Eli Pollack and Vice President of Operations Dov Maisel instructed the head of United Hatzalah’s rescue mission Major (res.) Yossi Cohen to end the mission and return to Israel as soon as possible.

Experts in geoengineering say sulphur particle launches set dangerous precedent for private companies to interfere with planet’s atmosphere
A Mexico-based startup will next week launch sulphur particles into the stratosphere in a “rogue” move to create a “mini-volcano” effect it says could help cool the planet.
The technique, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, mimics the impact of volcanoes by using a weather balloon to release sulphur, creating a cloud of particles that reflect the sun’s rays and have a cooling impact.
It is one of several geoengineering techniques being studied as a way to cool the planet to avoid breaching internationally agreed limits on global warming.
Moments after a Greyhound bus from New York City pulls into a gas station bus stop in Plattsburgh, N.Y., Friday at 5:25 a.m., several minivan taxis swarm the vehicle.
About a dozen passengers descend from the bus — mostly single men, but also several couples and a family with three young daughters. They are greeted by four pushy taxi drivers.
“We believe in the importance of maintaining open lines of communication between the United States and the PRC in order to responsibly manage the relationship,” declared Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, Pentagon spokesman, in a February 7 statement. “Unfortunately, the PRC has declined our request. Our commitment to open lines of communication will continue.”
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had tried to arrange a telephone conversation with China’s Defense Minister Gen. Wei Fenghe, after the February 4 shoot-down of the Chinese spy balloon, but the Chinese official refused to take the call.
The government of Iran marked the 44th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution on Saturday with demonstrations around the country.
The state-organized rallies differ markedly from the widespread protests that erupted after 22-year-old Kurdish woman Jina Mahsa Amini died in the custody of the controversial morality police last year.
Human rights organizations estimate thousands of Iranians have been arrested and several protesters have been executed, but smaller acts of rebellion continue, such as an increasing number of women choosing to ignore the country’s mandatory headscarf rule.
‘We’ll make sure there’s only one credible centre-right candidate,’ says a Conservative political organizer
Conservative political organizers in Toronto have shifted into high gear in the wake of John Tory’s announcement that he will resign as mayor and names of potential candidates are starting to emerge.
The two names being floated the most frequently by Ontario PC and Conservative Party of Canada sources who’ve spoken with CBC News since Tory’s shock announcement on Friday night.
Many questions remain …
Was the affair about to be leaked to the public by an unknown 3rd party? Who tipped off the Star? Apparently they have been sniffing around for some time.
Someone online noted that Tory did not apologize to the “Young Lady” in his resignation speech.
I assume that was to protect himself as it could be construed as an admission of guilt in court.
One possibility is the poor abused young lady has launched or has threatened to launch a lawsuit and Tory decided to get ahead of the story.
Another possibility is that someone at MLSE resented Tory for using the organization as a dumping ground for his discarded floozies and made their displeasure known to the Star.
He has loads of political “enemies” any one of whom may have been tipped to the story.
It’s possible family was involved but not likely in my view.
Is this the prelude to the revelation of a bigger scandal?
A trove of new emails raises new questions about whether the Secret Service “protected” the Biden family and obscured the agency’s alleged involvement in a police probe after Hunter Biden’s girlfriend ditched his gun in a trash can.
Conservative nonprofit Judicial Watch obtained via Freedom of Information Act request 487 pages of Secret Service records about the October 2018 incident — when Hunter’s brother’s widow and then-girlfriend, Hallie Biden, left his .38 handgun on in a supermarket garbage can in Wilmington, Delaware.
New billboard in West Kelowna, B.C. sparks outrage among many
A new banner in West Kelowna, questioning what children are being taught in school has been sparking outrage due to its message and the graphics on it.
The billboard, stationed along Highway 97 in West Kelowna, shows a cartoon woman, who appears to be a teacher, wearing a mask in front of a rainbow flag with a caption reading “What are your kids really learning in school?”
One advocate of the queer community was shocked to see the billboard, calling it ‘discriminating.’
Russian soldiers are dying in greater numbers in Ukraine this month than at any time since the first week of the invasion, according to Ukrainian data.
The Ukrainian data shows 824 Russian soldiers dying per day in February.
The figures were highlighted by the UK’s Ministry of Defence. The figures cannot be verified – but the UK says the trends are “likely accurate”.
The increase comes amid talk of a spring offensive by Russian forces in the east of the country.

As Toronto prepares to elect a new mayor following Friday’s surprise resignation of John Tory, Canada’s biggest city prepares for the kind of political upheaval rarely seen over the past decade.
“During the pandemic, I developed a relationship with an employee in my office in a way that did not meet the standards to which I hold myself as Mayor and as a family man,” the now-former mayor said in a statement read before reporters Friday evening at Toronto City Hall.
Please God restore Rob Ford to life.
