As parents‚ we always try to keep our kids active and healthy. Sometimes‚ that means dealing with organized sports teams. We enroll our kids in soccer‚ kid baseball‚ and peewee football. The results aren’t always what we expect. This little boy wanted no part of playing tee-ball‚ so he found a unique way to get out of the commitment. He played dead when his team had to take the field while the other team batted. He just laid down on the field and pretended there was no such thing as kid baseball. If you’re a parent‚ you have certainly seen your fair share of kids doing the unexpected. @espn Give him an Oscar ASAP (via @Britt Bear) #baseball #parents #kidsbeingkids ♬ original sound – ESPN Playing by the rules means actually knowing the rules. Kids seem to write their own rule book. Jasper showed us his technique for avoiding the dreaded “race to the plate.” As parents and fans urged him to get up and run‚ Jasper just did his own thing. @thegistsports RUN JASPER RUN #thegist (c/o @crystallou8) #repost #tball #teeball #baseball #funny #tumbling #kids #fyp #trending ♬ Sun Bed – David Staniforth When you hit the ball‚ you’re supposed to run around the bases. This tiny tot wanted to chase the ball with the infielders.

We can probably take this example and apply it beyond kid baseball. Rather than running and missing out on the scenery‚ this young child chose to walk around the bases as slowly as humanly possible! @sarjeantsonfire He decided to walk as slow as possible because he could. #tball #fyp #funnykid #teeball #fyp ♬ No Hurry – Zac Brown Band Kids Are Living Their Best Life Playing Baseball As the kids’ baseball season approaches‚ parents can look forward to seeing these moments live and in person.

Before she knew it‚ they whole group was headed straight toward her parked car! “They’re coming to me!” she exclaimed. @kbrown02 The day 5 baby skunks begged me to play with them #skunk #peppylapew #whatsthatsmell ♬ original sound – Kristi brown The woman got the cutest footage of the baby skunks waddling in her direction. They looked like they were scoping out the unfamiliar vehicle. At one point‚ it almost seemed like they were trying to find a way inside! While all of this was happening‚ an adult skunk was watching carefully from across the street. “The day 5 baby skunks begged me to play with them‚” reads the video’s caption on TikTok.

'A regressive tax on the least well-off'

'Must impeach'

'I don’t know if this is going to be good at all!'

Let us travel back to the day when flannel shirts wrapped around the waist were all the rave. Jeans were the only thing to wear‚ and the boys grew out their hair along with goatees. Music from Nirvana‚ The Offspring‚ Sublime and The Red Hot Chili Peppers dominated the airways and music videos still dominated MTV. The year was 1994 when the music group Green Day exploded onto the scene with their witty lyrics and head-banging ballads. Although the group was formed in 1986‚ they didn’t enter mainstream culture until the public first heard the iconic song “Basket Case.” In The post 10 Green Day Songs Fans Love The Most appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

The House Homeland Security Committee on Sunday released two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.   “His lawless behavior was exactly what the Framers gave us the impeachment power to remedy‚” Rep. Mark Green‚ R-Tenn.‚ said of Mayorkas.   The two impeachment articles “lay out a clear‚ compelling and irrefutable case for Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ impeachment‚” said Green‚ who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee.   The first article asserts that Mayorkas has failed to enforce America’s border and immigration laws and has instead executed policies that incentivize illegal immigration.   The second article contends that Mayorkas is in breach of public trust and has knowingly made false statements to Congress and the American people.   Articles-of-ImpeachmentDownload “He has willfully and systemically refused to comply with immigration laws enacted by Congress‚” Green said. “He has breached the public trust by knowingly making false statements to Congress and the American people‚ and obstructing congressional oversight of his department. These facts are beyond dispute‚ and the results of his lawless behavior have been disastrous for our country.”  In April 2022‚ appearing before Congress‚ Mayorkas was asked by Rep. Chip Roy‚ R-Texas: “Will you testify under oath right now: Do we have operational control [of the border]‚ yes or no?”      “Yes‚ we do‚” Mayorkas responded.     The Secure Fence Act of 2006 defines operational control as “prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States‚ including entries by terrorists‚ other unlawful aliens‚ instruments of terrorism‚ narcotics‚ and other contraband.”    During another hearing last July‚ Roy said Mayorkas was dishonest with the American people when he claimed to have operational control of the border even as thousands of illegal aliens were crossing the border daily.   .@RepChipRoy says Sec. Mayorkas has lied to him and to Congress. pic.twitter.com/tfH18Eoav8— Virginia Allen (@Virginia_Allen5) July 26‚ 2023 Under Mayorkas’ leadership within the Biden administration‚ Customs and Border Protection has encountered more than 8.5 million illegal aliens at America’s borders. The exact number of those illegal aliens who have been released into the U.S. is not publicly reported‚ but during a closed-door meeting with Border Patrol agents in Eagle Pass‚ Texas‚ on Jan. 8‚ Mayorkas reportedly said that more than 85% of the illegal migrants encountered at the border are released into the country.   Since Mayorkas was sworn in to his post on Feb. 2‚ 2021‚ CBP has confiscated more than 53‚000 lbs. of fentanyl. CBP has also apprehended more than 300 individuals on America’s terrorist watchlist between ports of entry in that same time.   “Empowered and enriched cartels‚ mass fentanyl poisonings‚ surges of terror watchlist suspects‚ more criminal illegal aliens causing harm in our communities‚ and traumatized and exploited migrants will be Secretary Mayorkas’ open-borders legacy‚” Green said.   The Tennessee lawmaker claims that “Secretary Mayorkas has also completely disregarded the separation of powers‚ a bedrock of our constitutional republic.” “Congress has a duty to see that the executive branch implements and enforces the laws we have passed. Yet Secretary Mayorkas has repeatedly refused to do so‚” the committee chairman said.   Green called Mayorkas’ actions an “affront to a coequal branch of government‚ to the Constitution‚ and to the American people‚ seriously. The House of Representatives must impeach Secretary Mayorkas.”  The committee is scheduled to convene Tuesday for a markup of the two impeachment articles.   Asked about the impeachment proceedings against him during a CNN interview in early January‚ Mayorkas praised the “tireless dedication” of his colleagues at the Department of Homeland Security‚ adding that he is “incredibly proud of coming to work every day and leaving the office‚ as late as it may be‚ having done the work with such extraordinary people.”   The committee’s decision to move forward with the impeachment of Mayorkas follows a five-phase investigation into Mayorkas‚ in which 10 public hearings examined these topics:  “DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ Dereliction of Duty.”   “DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Has Emboldened Cartels‚ Criminals and America’s Enemies.”   “The Devastating Human Costs of the DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ Open-Borders Policies.”   “The Historic Dollar Costs of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ Open-Borders Policies.”   “The Massive Waste and Abuse Enabled by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.”    Even if the House votes to impeach Mayorkas‚ it’s unlikely that two-thirds of the Senate would vote to remove him from office‚ given that Democrats control the upper chamber.    Have an opinion about this article?

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Elon Musk has issued a warning against new proposals on “hate speech” regulation in Ireland. During the discussion with Gript‚ he relayed his fears that the proposed rules could leave the Irish citizenry subject to politicians’ breadth of interpretations of “hate speech‚” thus potentially infringing freedom of speech. Going further‚ Musk committed financial support towards opposing the proposed law through legal means. Display content from Twitter Click here to display content from Twitter. Learn more in Twitter’s privacy policy. Always display content from Twitter Open content directly According to Musk‚ the ability of the Irish politicians to define hate speech based on personal interpretations poses a real danger to free speech‚ which he sees as fundamental to any democratic society. Musk made his comments about the Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offenses) Bill. Once passed by the Dáil‚ the principal chamber of the Irish parliament‚ the bill hit a stumbling block in the Senate. Nonetheless‚ Justice Minister Helen McEntee emphasized the bill’s progression this year. Further critiques of the proposed law‚ labeled as authoritarian‚ point to the lack of a legal definition of hate and the potential overreach of authority‚ such as the seizure of personal electronic devices and prison sentences for possession of supposed hateful content. Last year‚ Musk committed to covering legal charges for X users who unfairly faced employer retribution due to their activity on the platform. Even corporations drawing his ire due to the unfair treatment of X users were not safe from potential legal consequences. In a case involving X‚ the company’s legal team defended an Illinois student threatened with disciplinary action by his university over posts made on the platform. An advocate for freedom of speech rights‚ Musk posted‚ “We will do whatever it takes to support your right to free speech‚” when the legal action was announced.
