Dressing up as Satan in a red tunic while dancers performed a devil-worshipping ritual around him did nothing but make a mockery of the political beliefs of the 210 million Christians in the US, writes Piers Morgan.
It would be hard to beat what the Grammys did last night when they had pigtailed, filler-face-plumped Madonna introduce non-binary singer Sam Smith — who first came out as gay, then gender-fluid, and now demands to be called “they” — to perform a duet of a song called “Unholy,” with a transgender artist named Kim Petras, in which Smith dressed up as Satan in red tunic, hat and horns while dancers performed a devil-worshipping ritual around him, as “they” and Petras sang about a married couple...
Petras made no secret of that being the intent, saying: “It’s a take on not being able to live the way that people might want you to live because as a trans person, I’m already not kind of wanted in religion. So, we were doing a take on that, and I was kind of hell keeper Kim.” Someone who seemed to get this was Ben Affleck, sitting with a forced half-smile next to his new wife, Jennifer Lopez, as Noah tossed out his lame religious gags.As “music’s biggest night” wore on, and on, and on, Affleck’s exhausted eyes glazed into the kind of expression normally only seen in hostage videos.
The virtue-signaling came when first lady Jill Biden appeared on stage to present an Iranian singer with an award for his song that has become a protest anthem in the repressed regime.Beyoncé became the biggest Grammy winner in history with a swag bag of awards for her album “Renaissance ,” which has been lauded as an “LGBTQ+ battle cry.”Bey had previously declared her mission with the record was to create a “safe place, a place without judgment … a place to scream, release, feel freedom.

‘Bad messaging’: Sam Smith’s music video slammed for misrepresenting LGBT communityYouTuber Oli London has slammed Sam Smith’s 'I’m Not Here to Make Friends' music video for its “bad messaging” and misrepresentation of the LGBT community. “When people look at the LGBT community, they think, ‘this is normal – urinating, having these golden showers in the music video, having these people in leather bondage writhing around on the bed,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “We shouldn’t look at Sam Smith and think, ‘this is what all LGBT people are like’. “And I think YouTube should have a content restriction because why should a five or six-year-old have that recommended in their search engine when they’re on YouTube? “Why should they be exposed to something so sexual it should at least have an 18 plus rating?”

‘A bit odd’ for US to let Chinese spy balloon gather intelligence for a ‘whole week’The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says it’s “a bit odd” for the Americans to have let the Chinese spy balloon keep gathering intelligence information for a whole week. “It's a bit odd for the Americans to let it keep gathering intelligence for that whole week because it doesn’t just put the intelligence in its pocket, it broadcasts it straight back to Beijing,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “And you would think surely, they could have shot the thing down in some area where it was not over a populated area. “But on the other hand, I’m willing to take yes for an answer from the Biden administration, shot the thing down in the end, and it cancelled Antony Blinken’s visit to Bejing - I think that’s a pretty good response from the Americans.”
