If you haven’t heard of Angelina Jordan until now, get ready. You’re about to start hearing about this eight-year-old Norwegian girl everywhere. And when you watch the below video of Angelina singing the classic song “Fly Me To The Moon” you’ll understand why. There are big-time singers with multiple gold records who would kill for a voice like this girl has.

Hungry yet?
Calgary Stampede is an annual rodeo and cultural festival in Calgary, Alberta. Like some state fairs in the United States, it’s noted for exotic and innovative foods. When it is open this year from July 4-13, visitors will be able to taste at least 32 new foods, including this pizza covered with scorpions. That’s great because spicy food should sting you a little bit.

What difference at this point does it make?
From The Blaze:
President Barack Obama this week called Nigeria’s Boko Haram group, which last month kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls, “one of the worst regional or local terrorist organizations.” But according to a new report in the Daily Beast, the State Department under Hillary Clinton for two years “fought hard” against adding the group believed to have links to Al Qaeda to its list of foreign terrorist organizations.
Daily Beast senior correspondent Josh Rogin reported Wednesday that other government agencies, including the CIA, along with more than a dozen members of Congress had urged the State Department when Clinton was Secretary of State to officially designate the Nigerian Islamist group a terrorist organization.
“The one thing she could have done, the one tool she had at her disposal, she didn’t use. And nobody can say she wasn’t urged to do it. It’s gross hypocrisy,” a former senior U.S. official who was involved in the debate told the Daily Beast. “The FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department really wanted Boko Haram designated, they wanted the authorities that would provide to go after them, and they voiced that repeatedly to elected officials.”
The reason why, it seems, is there was concern that designating the group officially as a world class terrorist organization would have just added to its stature.
