RUGBY, SIX NATIONS, IRELAND IN HISTORIC VICTORY AGAINST ENGLAND

With all the hoopla about the Olympics---both the Men's and Women's Hockey victories in particular---followed by the State of the Union---and other local happenings---we almost forgot how much we love Rugby! And the Six Nations. 

Ireland has achieved a historic victory in the Six Nations against England, with a record points total of 42-21. This match took place at Allianz Stadium in Twickenham on February 21, 2026. Ireland's performance was marked by a first-half blitz that put them ahead 22-0, with key tries from Jamison Gibson-Park, Rob Baloucoune, and Tommy O'Brien. The match was a complete outplay by Ireland, who managed to control the contest from the start and maintained their lead throughout. England's attempts to recover were met with a series of errors, including kicking and set-piece failures, which allowed Ireland to secure the win. This victory is a significant achievement for Ireland, as it marks their highest-ever points tally and margin of victory in the Six Nations

Despite legal barriers, persistent talk about restart

When the Indian Point nuclear power plant south of Philipstown shut down in 2021, its legal obligations were clear: It could not restart, nor could any new nuclear power be generated there, without the unanimous consent of the Village of Buchanan, the Town of Cortlandt, Westchester County, New York State and the Hendrick Hudson School District.  MORE AT Mixed Signals on Indian Point – The Current

WOMEN'S WINNING HOCKEY TEAM AND THE WHITE HOUSE

Contrary to some MSM outlets---social media--and the usual trolling here as well---the women's team declined the invitation to attend President Trump’s State of the Union address because of timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments following their Olympic win. A USA Hockey spokesperson emphasized they were “sincerely grateful for the invitation” and that the decision was not political. Player Kelly Pannek reiterated that the team’s absence was due to logistical challenges, not any protest or refusal.

A future visit is on the agenda, date to be determined. Any additional questions or comments should be referred to the aforementioned parties. Looking forward to this event. And in case you missed it U.S. men's hockey team visits White House after gold medal win
