CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that former President Donald Trump is like a toddler who can not control his emotions and therefore should not be president. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “Over the weekend a federal judge reinstated a gag order imposed on former President Trump. In the Washington case he was accused of trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat, loss, which he, of course, denies, yes, he got crushed. Do you think he will be able to keep his mouth shut?” Kinzinger said, “No.”

A creep pushing a toddler in a stroller has been terrorizing women on Manhattan’s Upper East Side for months – body-checking them into walls and spitting in their faces in the violent, unprovoked attacks. At least five women have been targeted in the tony neighborhood since June, and as recently as Saturday, by the brute, who remains on the lam. They include Veronica Poloneitchik, who recalled being shoved to the ground on East 82nd Street and Second Avenue on June 26 – after admiring the man and young child on the street. “As a woman, you always pay attention to...

Marion County Coroner Troy Cannon announced Thursday that an autopsy determined Jismary died of bacterial Shigella Flexneri Colitis, an intestinal disease, and Aspiration Pneumonia.

The toddler was approaching a curve near his home in Buckingham when he lost control of the cart and steered into the 7-year-old boy standing in his front yard around 4 p.m. Monday, the Florida Highway Patrol told The Post.

Talitha Robinson-Russell and Carlos Russell told Priscilla Thompson that speculation about what happened is upsetting to Carlee, but declined to say what Russell told them when she came home Saturday, “citing the ongoing investigation.” “Carlee has given detectives her statement so they can continue to pursue her abductor,” her mother said, reading from a prepared statement. Asked if they believe there was “an abductor still out there,” Russell’s mother replied, “Absolutely.” “Anything leading to the case itself, we can’t discuss that,” her mother said. “She found her way back to us, however we can’t discuss the details of that.” Her...

The Alabama woman who mysteriously reappeared two days after vanishing when she stopped to help a toddler who was walking on the side of a highway was likely not the target of sex traffickers, according to a report. A human trafficking expert on Monday threw cold water on Carlee Russell’s parents’ suggestion that the tot was used as “bait” to lure the 25-year-old nursing student out of her car and kidnap her. “As far as we are aware, this is not a tactic that traffickers use,” Sabrina Thulander, a spokesperson for Polaris, the nonprofit that runs the National Human Trafficking...

It comes after their son suffered burns to the bottom of his feet.

CDC SURVEY: MORE THAN HALF OF BABIES, TODDLERS HAD ‘SYSTEMIC REACTION’ AFTER COVID-19 VACCINE

Florida-based supermarket chain Publix said Tuesday that it will not provide COVID-19 vaccines for children under the age of 5 after authorizations were handed down by federal health agencies. Spokesperson Hannah Herring told the Tampa Bay Times that the company will not be providing vaccines for kids aged 6 months to 4 years “at this time.” Herring said the company will not be providing an explanation for the decision. The company’s website says that it will provide COVID-19 vaccines for children aged 5 and older. Publix’s pharmacies are still offering influenza vaccines and other, traditional vaccines for young children, according...

New Yorkers, you’re worldly. You have friends in other cities, other countries. Ask them: Are you still masking 2- to 4-year- olds? After they get over the shock that anyone would have ever masked 2- to 4-year-olds, ask them what they think about New York mandating it today. Tell them that until a few weeks ago, these same kids were forced to mask outdoors. It’s June 2022, and New York City has decided that all remaining COVID-19 mitigation burdens should rest only on the shoulders of one group: toddlers. Your friends will ask: But why? There is no answer. There...

The Senate voted Tuesday on a bill that could overturn the Biden administration’s mask mandate for small children in Head Start facilities in a 55–41 vote. “Even though most Americans stopped wearing masks in almost every setting, children are still required to wear masks all day long in Head Start locations. Current HHS guidance demands that kids wear a mask even if they are outside, and even if they are as young as two years old. After two years, the last thing we need is to continue these outdated pandemic policies that are hurting kids’ educations,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa)...

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) took Biden's Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to task on Wednesday for a federal mask mandate that still applies to young children and toddlers in Head Start programs even while CDC guidance stated masks were no longer necessary for most Americans. Citing concerns raised by her constituents, Stefanik asked Becerra about studies showing mask mandates for young children have led to limited vocabularies, delayed speech development, and difficulties with social interaction and kids' confidence. "We know that face masks disrupt holistic processing and face perception in school-age children," Stefanik noted. "Even the World Health...

The Big Apple mom who crashed Mayor Eric Adams’ press conference Monday to blast him over his tot mask mandate was fired shortly afterward from her job at the city Law Department ... Daniela Jampel, who served as an assistant corporation counsel, learned she was canned less than an hour after she confronted a caught-off-guard and apparently annoyed Adams over when he would “unmask our toddlers.” ... “Three weeks ago, you told parents to trust you that you would unmask our toddlers,” Jampel told the mayor. “You stood right here, and you said that the masks would come off April...

On Friday night, New York City Eric Adams (D) took to Twitter to tout a judge's decision to keep his mask mandate in place for children 2-4 years old. The decision was a stay from a previous order earlier on Friday that came from Judge Ralph Porzio, who, as NBC New York quoted him as saying, called Adams' order "arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable." "Every decision we make is with our children's health and safety in mind," the mayor's tweet claimed. NBC New York also included warnings from Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan, while still emphasizing that hospitalizations and cases are...

Children under 5 in New York City will not have to wear masks in schools and daycares starting on April 4, Mayor Eric Adams announced Tuesday. “We want to see our babies’ faces,” Adams told reporters at City Hall in the borough of Manhattan. The Democrat had kept the mandate in place for young children even as he recently rolled back masking requirements for other kids. Children under 5 are the only population in America who cannot receive a COVID-19 vaccine but are also among the least likely to contract symptomatic cases or severe cases of COVID-19, the disease caused...

Many people despair of the media content available to young people these days. Parents complain that modern cartoons can’t compare in quality or content with the shows they grew up with. But clearly some of them are still including important information, as one toddler from Rowley Regis, West Mids, England, recently demonstrated.

Analyzing Tragic Video Of Forcibly Masking Young Toddler At Daycare A tragic video was recently posted to Facebook by a New York mother depicting her very young toddler being forcibly masked at daycare in order to comply with an unnecessary and cruel state mandate, which video has understandably gone viral. “This is my poor kid at daycare today so I can work. #breaksmyheart #governorhochulthiswontwork #whyarewepunishingbabies.” Let’s use just a modicum of common sense to analyze this tragedy, shall we? Firstly, what is the actual risk of Covid death to a child? Per the CDC, there have been a total of...

According to witnesses, the deranged nutjob struggled for over 5 minutes to affix the pointless and uncomfortable mask on the face of the innocent little girl as she kicked and struggled. "This isn't just for your protection! This is to protect me!" yelled the dangerous, certifiably unhinged wingnut as he completely ignored the girl's protests. Several sources attempted to step in and help the little girl, but were quickly scared off as the man began recording them on his cell phone and calling them "grandma killers." "We've seen an increased number of instances like this," said Police Chief Buggs Tubberskaw...
