The summit this week in Washington, D.C., between Presidents Emmanuel Macron and Donald Drumpf has caused an anxious transatlantic exchange between Francophile Americans and French observers of American life over a singular and urgent issue: the proper French translation for the word “dandruff.”
P!nk took the grand stage at Super Bowl LII to sing the national anthem just before kickoff where she paid homage to her “idol,” Whitney Houston.
This Super Bowl holds a special significance to the Grammy-winning artist as she is a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan, having spent the lead-up to the game posting snaps of her children and family rooting for the team.
Pink Nails the National Anthem Before Super Bowl LII, Despite the Flu
Despite a well-publicized battle with the flu in the days before Super Bowl LII, Philadelphia-area native Pink positively nailed the National Anthem.
Clad in a satiny white outfit and with bright blonde hair, the three-time Grammy winner was true to her badass image, removing a throat lozenge just before she began singing (and setting off a torrest of Internet memes in the process).
She played loose with the song’s timing, occasionally hitting a note just inside the tempo set by the accompanying orchestra, but hit every note with ease, at times breaking up a note or toying with the phrasing, possibly in an effort to sidestep the challenges of singing with the flu, but her voice was strong and on-point and she had little trouble holding notes.
Putin made Drumpf ‘an unwitting agent’ of Russia
Sometimes after risk analysis, it is determined recruitment is unfeasible. Yet the target may be valuable and someone close to him is willing, hence useful information can be gained unwittingly.
‘Unwitting‘ is an adjective which describes someone who doesn’t know certain important information.
Believe it or not, in an aria with so many words, we actually still did not manage to fit in everything we wanted to say about “45”!
Singers: Rebecca Nelsen (1st and 3rd) and Eric Stoklossa
Special thanks to SNL and Adam Sandler’s “Operaman” for the inspiration.
What is the real story of Donald Trump and Russia?
The answer is still unclear, and Democrats in Congress want to get to the bottom of it with an investigation. But there’s no doubt that a spider web of connections – some public, some private, some clear, some murky – exists between Trump, his associates and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The connections reveal the vast and mysteriously complex web behind a story that has vexed Trump’s young presidency from its start – and is certain to shake the White House for months to come.

Immigrants of many countries are having a very rough time now.
In a country very well know for arising from a melting pot of immigrants, it’s not the norm to see this hatred, discrimination, racism and every thing else that has become the standards of the current administration.
Alec Baldwin returned to play President Drumpf for Saturday Night Live’s cold open, where he threatened to go to war with a handful of American allies.
Accompanied by chief strategist Steve Bannon – in Grim Reaper costume – a “tired and cranky” Trump decided to “freak out” some other leaders. The first call, with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, shocked Trump who did not realize the U.S. had made a deal to accept refugees from Australia.
“No refugees,” he said. “America first, Australia sucks. Your reef is failing. Prepare to go to war.”
Trump’s subsequent attempt to get Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to agree to pay for a border wall was unsuccessful, as was a call to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, played by Kate McKinnon, who just wanted to get off the phone.
A call to Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe backfired, frightening Trump.
“I will rip out your spine and drink from your skull,” Mugabe, played by Kenan Thompson said. “You cannot even walk down stairs, you little white b—h.”
Drumpf, who frequently tweets complaints about his SNL portrayals, had not yet commented as of Sunday morning.

Most Americans Don’t Know Puerto Ricans Are American The territory’s residents have held citizenship for nearly a century
Puerto Ricans have held American citizenship since 1917, are able to carry American passports and can enter the U.S. mainland freely. Residents of the island can’t vote for a president unless they move to one of the 50 states, but they can send delegates to the party conventions.
