Why was Kanye West removed from Grammy Awards performance line up?

Kanye West will not perform at the Grammys. Sources close to the rapper said that he had received a call on March 18, informing him about this decision. There is speculation that his recent online behavior, his 24-hour hour suspension on social media and his use of a racial slur on a popular host were the reasons why his performance was dropped.

Insiders said that the Awards show had to take this position to avoid a potential flare up between rapper Kanye and Trevor Noah who is the host of the Grammys. The recent spat between the two cannot become an issue at the ceremony, so they “unfortunately” had to drop the rapper from the performance line up. Other reasons could include his Instagram ban.

Noah was the one who recently faced a racial slur posted by the rapper on Instagram which led to a 24-hour ban on the social media platform. The Donda rapper has been posting violent videos, weird memes and has harassed his ex wife Kim Kardashian, her boyfriend Pete Richardson and others on the social media platform. However, with Noah he used a racial slur, which might have been the tipping point.

The Game, who has collaborated with the rapper in Eazy– a track which had offensive lyrics against Pete Davidson as well as violence in the video, using cartoon characters, has jumped to the defense of Kanye.

In a long post, he said that the Grammys pulling Kanye’s performance was something they knew would happen. He spoke of how they wanted to “STEAL the culture” but not allow them “to ever be their equals.”

He also mentioned that Kanye could have been removed as Trevor Noah was hosting the show, or because his Instagram account had been suspended and said that they faced “disrespect” although all of them had brought so much to the table “in entertainment, media and sports over the last 100 years especially.”

Kanye West’s ‘Donda’ album is one among those that have been nominated for Album of the Year. Rapper Ye has not as yet responded to his removal from the Grammys performance line up. However, it is just a matter of time and we will soon read or hear his response.

Dr. Fauci hints of retirement in podcast, says ‘can’t stay at this job forever’

0



On Friday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading expert on COVID-19 appeared on the “Start Here” podcast with Brad Mielke. Dr. Fauci spoke about the possibility of increasing cases of COVID-19 across the nation after the emergence of the BA.2 variant. He also hinted at retirement plans which would be put in place when the pandemic ends.

Dr. Fauci has been at the forefront of the nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He told host Mielke that he would not be surprised if they see a “flattening of our diminution or maybe even an increase” in the number of cases due to the prevalence of the BA.2 variant.

The learned doctor said that he made the above prediction after having conversations with colleagues in the United Kingdom. The U.K., which has much higher vaccinated people when compared with America, has seen a slight spike in cases.

Dr. Fauci also hinted about retirement plans. He told the popular ABC News podcast host that he would continue to do what he was doing “until we can get out of the pandemic phase and I think we might be there already, if we can stay in this.”

He also said that he “can’t stay at this job forever.” He said that he did not want his staff to find him slumped over the desk, some day.

ABC News clarified that Dr. Anthony Fauci has no immediate plans to retire. However, the outlet had also mentioned that the White House has hired a new White House coronavirus coordinator. Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of Brown University School of Public Health. He will replace Jeff Zients, who is stepping down from the position next month.

Dr. Fauci has served the nation as a public health expert for more than 50 years. He is the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. He has been sharing his expertise through the administrations of seven presidents. He has faced strong opposition from Republicans mainly Sen. Rand Paul, with whom he has had a few arguments.

Dr. Fauci told ABC News, “When I do decide I’m going to step down, whenever that is, I am going to have to figure out what it is I am going to do.” He added, “I’d love to spend more time with my wife and family. That would really be good.”

Bezos Blue Origin Says NO to Pete Davidson Going To Space

0

The 20th flight of Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket has been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 29. The Saturday Night Live (SNL) star will no longer accompany the NS-20 crew on this trip, according to a statement from Blue Origin spokesman Sara Blask.

American comedian Pete Davidson is no longer planning to embark on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin’s space voyage later this month, according to the space tourism company. The explanation offered is that the launch date has been pushed back from March 23rd.

On Blue Origin’s fourth crewed flight, Davidson was planned to be an “honorary guest” with five paying customers. Philanthropist Marc Hagle and wife Sharon Hagle, Party America CEO Marty Allen, Dr. George Nield, and University of North Carolina professor Jim Kitchen will be taking the flight. The sixth member will be announced in the next few days, according to Blue Origin.

While Davidson, has not said anything about the change in plans, it is probable that his hectic job schedule is prohibiting him from flying.
Blue Origin has brought a host of celebrities aboard its aircraft since its first successful human flight in July 2021. When he boarded Blue Origin’s second voyage, 90-year-old “Star Trek” actor William Shatner set a new record for the oldest person to travel to space. Michael Strahan, the host of “Good Morning America,” also recently attempted the journey.

The New Shepard rocket MISSION NS-20 takes humans to altitudes of nearly 60 miles above the earth’s surface. The objective is to make these suborbital spaceflights a staple of pop culture, providing a 10-minute supersonic thrill ride to invited guests, and anybody else who can buy it.

Participants will experience a few minutes of weightlessness before parachuting down to the ground after the short trip. The rocket’s engine is planned to land upright on a landing pad, while the capsule housing the crew, is designed to return to the surface via parachutes.

Davidson also played an astronaut on Saturday Night Live, in which his Chad character traveled to Mars on a SpaceX mission during an episode sponsored by Elon Musk.

The actor and comedian has recently been in the spotlight due to his romance with Kim Kardashian and the ensuing turmoil with her ex-husband, Kanye West. In terms of his career, Davidson continues to appear on “SNL” and co-stars with Kaley Cuoco in the upcoming romantic comedy “Meet Cute.”

Halyna Hutchins was a young cinematographer who was fatally shot on the Western “Rust” in October, last year when the prop gun held by Alec Baldwin went off and a live round struck her. She died shortly after that from her wound and director Joel Souza, who was shot in the shoulder has recovered, since. The horrific accident took place as the gun was called a “cold” gun as it allegedly had no live ammunition but was actually “hot” as a live round shot and killed Halyna. Now, another tragedy has struck as her parents are stuck in Kyiv as the invasion of Ukraine by Russia continues.



Matthew Hutchins, who is Halyna’s husband, told TMZ that his late wife’s family is stuck in Kyiv. Her parents are unable to leave as the safe corridor is facing renewed attacks. Her mother is a nurse and is continuing to work in the hospital at which she has been staff, from over ten years. Halyna’s father has also volunteered to remain in Kyiv.

Halyna’s sister and her daughter have fled to Romania, according to news from a representative of Hutchins. Her sister and Halyna’s three-year old niece have reached the Romanian border and were waiting for evacuation.



Halyna’s husband Matthew, who has strong ties to the country, believes that there should be a “no-fly” zone imposed over Ukraine. According to the outlet, he also said that China should step up to enforce it, if NATO was unable to do so.

The report also said that Matthew believes that Chinese intervention would ensure that both sides stayed out of the sky and rockets would no longer be launched against the ground forces in Ukraine.

Matthew has also commended the bravery of the Ukrainians as they defend their homeland, condemned the Russians and asked for additional support for the refugees and military in Ukraine as well as diplomatic intervention, to maintain the sovereignty of Ukraine.



Matthew Hutchins has recently filed lawsuits against Alec Baldwin and others who were a part of the movie “Rust,” on whose set his wife Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot by actor Alec Baldwin. The actor was handed the antique Colt revolver by assistant director Dave Halls who called it a “cold” gun as it was reportedly checked by armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.

Kanye West to launch his own social media platform, French Montana says

Kanye West has been in the news for his recent outbursts against ex-wife Kim Kardashian, her boyfriend Pete Davidson and their friends more often than for his music in the recent past. On Tuesday, there was another outburst and Kanye received a one day suspension from social media platform, Instagram where he has been posted these tirades. His friend French Montana recently said that Kanye would be launching his own social media platform.

Kanye was suspended from Instagram on Wednesday, after making a racial slur at news host Trevor Noah. He was suspended in the evening. Noah had supported Kim Kardashian on “The Daily Show” hosted by him and it’s well documented how much Kanye has been harassing the Skims founder and her friends, on the social media platform.

Montana tweeted that they suspended his “dawg Kanye from Instagram and that the rapper would “make his own social media platform.” The Donda rapper also received support from The Game who started a hashtag that read FreeYe. He claimed that Instagram was “picking and choosing content” that violated the platform’s policies.

 



The Compton rapper said that there was a “whole war” that was taking place in Ukraine and that there were “hate posts surrounding it that add fuel to the fire.” He also mentioned that Africans were “being violated” and were “barred from crossing borders to safety with racist comments/content attached.”



He posted this before defending Kanye’s posts saying that Instagram had “zeroed in” on the rapper’s post about “the protection of his children” and “his fatherhood” and more in the same vein.

However, fans and others have had mixed reactions on his ban. A big group of them feel that it is good that Kanye has finally been banned while another group say he should have been banned a long time ago. He has posted weird memes, violent videos with cartoon character and made up a strange nickname for the KUWTK star’s boyfriend Pete Davidson. Although Kim has been declared legally single by an LA judge, Ye has kept on posting negatively about her and her friends.

Wisconsin Dentist Convicted of Health Care Fraud and False Statements

0

On Friday, a Wisconsin dentist was convicted on five counts of health care fraud and two counts of making false statements that were related to healthcare matters. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Wisconsin’s release said that the federal jury found the Grafton dentist Scott Charmoli guilty of the charges.

Charmoli had a money spinning scheme going on that netted him tremendous profits as he defrauded dental insurance companies for years together. According to the release, the dentist began this journey into fraud from 2015. He used to convince patients that they needed crowns in their teeth. Then he would break the teeth using his drill. After the procedure, he would take pictures and X-rays of the broken teeth.

Armed with these pictures as evidence, the dentist would request insurance companies to pay for the procedures. These companies would assume that the teeth were broken before the procedures and would pay up. Many of the dental patients were also co-pays for these procedures.

Data from just one insurance company showed that Charmoli performed more crown procedures than most dentists in the state. The number of crown procedures performed by the 61-year old dentist from 2016 to 2019 were in the 95 percentile of crown procedures in all these years. He also earned more than $4.2 million between 2016 and 2019.

Evidence presented by the prosecutors show that he performed more than 700 crowns each year from 2015 to 2019. During the course of two years–2015 and 2016 the number of crown procedures crossed 1000 each year. According to the latest US Census estimates the population of Grafton, Wisconsin, where the dentist lives is 11,595.

United District Court Judge Lynn Adelman will pronounce the sentence on the 61-year old dentist on June 17, 2022. He faces maximum ten years in prison for each healthcare fraud conviction whereas each false statement conviction can get him a maximum five-year prison term.

A young Russian model who called Vladimir Putin a “psychopath” has been found dead and stuffed inside a suitcase, a report says.

Gretta Vedler went on a social media rant criticizing Putin. She went missing for a year. Recently her ex-boyfriend Dmitry Korovin has confessed to killing her by strangulation and leaving her body stuffed in a suitcase in a car.

“I can only assume, in my opinion, clear psychopathy or sociopathy is seen in him. For psychopaths, it is important to constantly experience a sense of fullness and sharpness of life, so they love risk, intense experiences, intense communication, intense activity – an intense and dynamic life,” she wrote, according to  The Mirror.

There is no confirmation that her death was related to the anti-Putin social media rant. The Daily Star reported this information.

Home mortgage rates see highest rise since 2019 at over 4%

0

According to Freddie Mac, mortgage rates crossed 4 percent in the week ending March 17. The earlier rate, a week before, was 3.85. This is the first time that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage went above 4 percent, since May 2019.

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve announced that there would be a raise in interest rates. Rates have not been increased since 2018. The increase also puts to an end the pandemic-era easy-money policy adopted by the central bank. The federal funds rate is now at 0.25-0.5 %.

Although mortgage rates are not directly linked to federal fund rates, they track the yields that are obtained on 10-year treasury bonds. These bonds are influenced by several factors such as the reactions of investors to the moves made by the central bank as well as inflation.

Inflation stands at 7.9 percent year-over-year and is the highest in the past 40 years. There is no indication that inflation will fall as there is volatility due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Freddie Mac’s chief economist said that the action by the Fed of raising short-term rates and mentioning further increases indicates that mortgage rates are likely to increase through the year. The rates are also being impacted due to inflation as well as the crisis in Ukraine.

Mortgage rates define the ability to buy homes. Lower rates help to offset the increasing rise in home prices as buyers make monthly payments.

Freddie Mac, a government sponsored finance company, said that there is still strong interest among consumers to purchase homes. The demand for buying homes rose during the pandemic and resulted in a 19 percent increase in home prices last year, as many locations had limited supply of homes that could be purchased.

Although mortgage rates have an effect on home buying, other factors such as supply and demand have a higher impact on home buying. Home buying rates are not going to fall unless there is a huge number of homes being built and new construction is not exceptional in the current situation.

The Thursday analysis by Freddie Mac said that although the home purchase demand had “moderated” it was still a competitive marking as the existing inventory supply was low. This means that high house pricing would continue during the home buying season this spring.
