As restrictions have lifted, families have ventured back out into the wide world a little at a time. It’s hard to stay at home, indoors, with young children, especially when those children love to scamper about.
When Lindsey Ibrahim took her young boys to the Eastham Country Park in Merseyside, England, for the first time in nine weeks, she had no idea their exploration would lead them into a tricky predicament that would get them some online fame.
It was young Finley Ibrahim, 4, who couldn’t help but poke around the park’s more unseen features. He found an interesting hole in a tree and popped right in.
“The hole at the bottom was on a slant so it was so easy for him to slide in and he was investigating it until he got to the top and probably did that just to make me laugh,” Lindsey said, according to the Daily Mail.
“He said ‘look mummy, I’m stuck like a bug in a rug’ and then he asked ‘are you going to have to take my head off to get the rest of my body out’?”
“Earlier in the day he’d found another hole in a tree and he was looking to see if there’s a badger in there, so he’s a real investigator of anything.”
So when Finley called his mom over, she was mortified to find he was well and truly stuck.
“I ran over, and I just spotted the top of Finley’s face, with a hand and an arm poking out, and I was mortified at the time, thinking ‘oh my word, what am I going to do’?”
Lindsey has a bad back, so helping Finley out herself was out of the question. But she saw a family nearby and asked the dad for help.
“I was embarrassed to ask [the dad] because of social distancing, so he had all the right to say no, but he found the funny side and offered straight away to help.”
“He came over and the guy was like spiderman, he just sprang to the top of this tree trunk, he pulled him hard a few times and then Finley popped out the top. Luckily the man was there, otherwise I don’t know what I was going to do. He was like a hero, but I didn’t catch his name.”
She did manage to get a picture of their hero — with his permission — but since she never got his name, she posted on a local group in hopes that he might see it.
“Thank you to the man who came to my rescue when one of my boys got himself stuck in a tree today!!” she wrote. “Life with boys hey xx.”
While initially the mom was a little panicky, she soon saw how funny their situation was — though she probably should have seen it coming.
“Finley can’t even put his head in a jumper, and we’ve always told him not to put his head in railings or anything daft like that because you’ll get it stuck,” she said.
“Well he’s gone global, how mad is this!!” Lindsey shared on Facebook.
The photos she managed to capture have been shared many times and many people have gotten a good giggle over Finley’s misadventure.
“The photos will certainly go in the family album,” Lindsey added, “and Finley can go back to school with this really good story.”

Not surprisingly, given the controversy over transgenders, the post immediately drew blowback on Twitter.

JK Rowling continues to align herself with an ideology which willfully distorts facts about gender identity and people who are trans. In 2020, there is no excuse for targeting trans people. — GLAAD (@glaad) June 7, 2020
That’s not really what you said, though. To act as if you were just remarking on how connected you feel to being a female is disingenuous. You fully know why saying “people who menstrate” are or should be considered women undermines trans people and non-binary people. — Meghan Tonjes (@meghantonjes) June 7, 2020
Outside the transgender issue, Rowling has long toed the liberal line. In 2015, for instance, she branded then-candidate Donald Trump worse than her fictional ultimate villain Voldemort, as HuffPost reported.

It’s not the first time, either.

For those of you not familiar with New York City , Staten Island is a rare oasis of common-sense conservative thought .

“ Witnessing looters emptying Apple stores and exiting the store only to be violently assaulted and robbed by other criminals has shaken the confidence of everyday New Yorkers who are afraid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and shop for necessities .
“ It is unfair and unacceptable that people who are furloughed from retail stores are receiving the same supplemental benefit as those who are smashing and looting retail stores and I hope this can be addressed immediately.
” On Saturday , de Blasio announced he was lifting the curfew early after protests remained largely peaceful , according to Fox News .
“ Tomorrow we take the first big step to restart .
Keep staying safe .
Keep looking out for each other , ” he tweeted .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where the arrest numbers in Gotham piled up .
According to the New York Daily News , in the city alone , about 700 people were arrested Monday into Tuesday , the worst night of the protests .
Another 280 were arrested Wednesday and 270 on Thursday .
It ’ s unclear how many of these arrests were for looting .
The additional $ 600 weekly benefit for those on unemployment had been one of the key elements of the so-called Phase Three COVID-19 relief bill — and also one of the most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ individuals would make more staying unemployed than looking for work .
RELATED : Largest Flying US Flag Shredded by Storm , Brings Old Johnny Cash Song to Life While taking the $ 600 away from the number of people looting across the country isn ’ t exactly going to pull back much money from the trillions we ’ ve already spent , it ’ s also worth noting the number of people arrested for looting nationally isn ’ t insubstantial , and those are just the ones the police were able to catch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ condemned the riots from both the right and the left .

Pretty much everyone has condemned the riots from both the right and the left. The question is how we’re willing to deal with what happened in the aftermath.
Part of the issue isn’t just that the riots and looting essentially overshadowed not only the death of Floyd but also the peaceful protests. That’s bad enough, particularly because there wasn’t any cultural disagreement that Floyd’s death was the result of police brutality.
There’s the additional difficulty that the riots came as the U.S. tried to economically rebuild from the coronavirus lockdowns. It’s a bit more than a speed bump in that process when whole neighborhoods in major cities are turned into glass-strewn hulls.

Lest anyone forget the reason for the policy, Khosrowshahi wrote that Uber identifies with those in the streets protesting after the death of George Floyd, the Minnesota man who died in police custody on May 25.
“I wish that the lives of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others weren’t so violently cut short,” she wrote.

westernjournal--2020-06-07--Biden’s Latest ‘Gaffe’ Is Virtually Guaranteed to Come Back to Haunt Him

On Thursday night , after he did a virtual town hall with young Americans , Joe Biden went to bed , sleepily content with his performance .
He got to bed easily .
No Ambien , not even a Nytol or a warm glass of milk .

On Thursday night, after he did a virtual town hall with young Americans, Joe Biden went to bed, sleepily content with his performance. He got to bed easily. No Ambien, not even a Nytol or a warm glass of milk.
He was sleeping like a baby…
Then, at very the stroke of midnight, he awoke to hear a heavy, metallic rattling outside his bedroom door. Upon opening it, he found Hillary Clinton entangled in heavy chains. Along with her was a ghost that looked a lot like Uncle Sam.
Joe was confused and lost for words, which wasn’t unusual. Finally, he spoke: “New workout? Kind of like those weighted rope things at the gym?”
“No, you moron,” Hillary said. “Haven’t you ever read Charles Dickens? ‘A Christmas Carol’?”
“He writes for Politico, right? What a lying, dog-faced pony–“
“Never mind,” Clinton interrupted. “OK, look. These chains are the weight I carry around to atone for my 2016 presidential loss. And I’m here to warn you — you’re in the same trouble I am. I know you think you’re invincible, but you’re not. To demonstrate this, you were supposed to be visited by three specters tonight. However, air travel being what it is right now, the Ghost of Going Too Far Left and the Ghost of Alienating Swing State Voters couldn’t make it. So you’re stuck with the Ghost of Election Gaffes Past.”
The Ghost doffed his cap. “How do you do, sir? Pleased to meet you. We’re going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota … yeaaaahhhh!“
Is Biden's latest gaffe as bad as Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" crack? Yes No

Hillary tried to nudge the Ghost in the ribs, but the Ghost being ethereal and all, it went right through him. “All right, that’s enough,” Hillary said. “Do what you need to do, Ghost.”
“Right,” the Ghost said. “Come, we’re going to go to New York City on Sept. 9, 2016.”
And so, Biden was whisked off with the Ghost and they were floating above an event at which then-candidate, then-lock for the presidency Hillary Clinton was speaking.
About halfway through her remarks, Biden heard something he vaguely remembered. Biden vaguely remembering something wasn’t exactly a new thing, but he also vaguely remembered it was important, too:
“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” he heard Hillary say.

Biden was unimpressed. “Look, this is just one comment. You’re not going to convince me that elections get ruined by malarkey like this all the time. After, Hillary’s issues … hoo boy. We could be here until morning talking about that nonsense.”

“Hey, that’s Ritt Mommy or something, right?” Biden said.
The Ghost shushed him. “That’s Mitt Romney. And over there is a hidden camera. You remember what happens next?”
“Um. We won against him that year, didn’t we?”
There was another heavy, musty sigh. “Just listen.”

And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what.”
Biden turned to the Ghost. “So, the lesson is, if you’re going to make a comment like this, make sure there are no cameras around?”
There was a pause. “A little late for that, in your case. Oh well. I gave it my best shot, Hills.”
With that, the Ghost snapped his fingers, and Biden awoke in the same bed he’d fallen asleep in so soundly just a few hours before.
Disoriented, he turned to his wife and shook her. “Jill! Jill! Wake up, babe! I just had the strangest dream!”
“It’s three in the morning, Joe,” she groaned, rolling over. “This had better be important.”

Well, Jeff Sessions certainly hasn’t lost a step.
Sure, he’s not the darling of anti-establishment conservatives that he was when he endorsed Donald Trump for president or became Trump’s attorney general. There are, um, reasons for that, which is why he’s no longer Trump’s attorney general and ended up leaving the White House under conditions a bit more acrimonious than your average Trump administration departure.
Sessions is trying to win his old Senate seat back from Doug Jones, the Democrat who won a 2017 special election mostly because of sexual misconduct allegations against then-Republican nominee Roy Moore. (This, for those of you who don’t remember the days before Tara Reade, was when sexual misconduct allegations against a candidate were considered materially important by the media.)
And, if his recent sparring match with Rep. Ilhan Omar is any indication, Sessions hasn’t exactly been dulled by age.
In a Twitter exchange Friday with the firebrand Minnesota Democrat, Sessions excoriated Omar for suggesting the Minneapolis Police Department needed to be disbanded, tussled with her over remarks they’d made in the past and concluded by saying, “How’s your brother, by the way?” — an allusion to reports that Omar engaged in a sham marriage with her brother in order to commit immigration fraud.
The opening salvo was this tweet from Omar, in which she said it was time to disband her home city’s police department. Not quite sure how that’s supposed to work, but it sounded good, so whatever:
The Minneapolis Police Department has proven themselves beyond reform. It’s time to disband them and reimagine public safety in Minneapolis. Thank you to @MplsWard3 for your leadership on this! https://t.co/AQfHM5M6eR — Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) June 5, 2020
Omar said in place of the current police department, it was time to “reimagine public safety in Minneapolis.”
Should Jeff Sessions be a senator again? Yes No

I’m reimagining it and it seems a lot less safe, but public policy rarely develops out of 280 characters or less, so I wouldn’t worry.
Sessions retweeted Omar and criticized her response.
“Radical Leftists like Ilhan Omar and the rest of ‘the Squad’ are dead wrong,” Sessions said.
“Don’t defund the police. Defund the thought police.”

Omar responded by essentially calling Sessions a bigot.

Anyhow, Sessions fired back at Omar with a criticism of remarks she hadn’t made in jest — like downplaying the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
“You brushed off the 9/11 attacks as ‘some people did something,'” he tweeted. “You’ve celebrated anti-Semitism. You have a habit of rooting for the bad guys, and you should stop unfairly demonizing our brave law enforcement officers. I for one will never sit out defending those who defend us.”
Oh, and then a second tweet: “How’s your brother, by the way?”
How’s your brother, by the way? — Jeff Sessions (@jeffsessions) June 5, 2020
The last part was a jab at her marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a man some have claimed is her brother; the marriage, they say, was merely to bypass immigration laws.
Omar has denied the allegations.
Whether or not she married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi as part of an immigration fraud scam — conservatives have pointed to her refusal to hand over important documents or answer specific questions regarding the marriage when asked by the media, while the left has claimed such a fraudulent marriage would be unnecessary — Omar’s complicated marital history has continued to dog her.
Her latest marriage, her third, is to a political operative whose company received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Omar’s campaign.
As for Sessions, he’s in a bit of electoral trouble, given the fact that a May poll found him down over 20 points to former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville, according to AL.com. The two men are facing off in a Republican primary runoff election on July 14.
Perhaps a flash of the Sessions of old — combined with a takedown of the ludicrous idea of disbanding the Minneapolis Police Department — could help close that gap.
