Pole dancing might have previously been thought of as exclusively adult entertainment‚ but over the years it has evolved into a veritable fitness regimen‚ an empowering form of self expression and even a sport worthy of the Olympics. In many ways‚ the more modern perspective has brought pole dancing back to its original‚ ancient roots of circus performers pulling off acrobatic tricks.But it might be safe to say that the mainstream still views the dance style as more risqué‚ and therefore‚ not appropriate for kids. And this is why a pole-dancing school in Atlanta offering a "Mommy &; Me" pole-dancing workshop is sparking a debate online among parents.In a now-viral post shared on the class’s Instagram account‚ we see young boys and girls and their mothers learning spinning tricks as "Take Me There" from the 1998 animated movie "Rugrats” plays in the background. The class was labeled by many as “insane” and inappropriate‚ arguing that the inherent context of the art form sexualized young kids. Many were even more concerned that the kids were being recorded doing certain moves and that footage was shared online. See on Instagram “I think it’s very irresponsible of that mommy and me pole dancing studio to record and upload videos featuring kids in their workshops‚” one person said on X‚ adding “it’s even more irresponsible for the mothers to allow their children to be filmed and uploaded on the internet as well.” Another argued that people who counter that pole is “just like gymnastics’ know dang well that weirdos also watch child gymnastics videos online.”However‚ Pink Poles Studio owner‚ Tiajuanna “Tia” Harris‚ maintains her stance that there’s nothing wrong with the “Mommy and Me” workshops‚ and that the backlash is unwarranted.“These kids aren’t twerking — nothing inappropriate‚ nothing sexual is going on here‚” Harris explained to TODAY.com‚ recalling how much it “warmed her heart” to receive a call from a mom saying “I wanted to tell you how much my son enjoyed the class. He said he felt like Spiderman.”Harris further pushed back against critics on the Pink Poles Studios website‚ assuring that the “Mommy and Me” workshop provides a healthy‚ fun‚ phone-free activity. “Back in the day‚ before iPads became babysitters‚ we relished carefree moments—swinging‚ hanging upside down from the monkey bars‚ climbing‚ and sliding down pole climbs and parallel bars at the playground‚” she wrote.“Fast forward to 2024 at Pink Poles Studios: these children are doing the exact same thing! Having carefree fun and staying physically active without electronics — except now‚ they’re swinging‚ sliding and flipping on a pole‚ under the guidance of a trained children’s gymnast instructor (as a bunch of moms and peers cheer them on in the background!)” Harris even stressed that the kids “wear age-appropriate gym wear‚ and adult students are fully clothed too.” See on Instagram It’s certainly a dilemma with no easy answer.On the one hand‚ the dance world‚ whether involving a pole or not‚ has been guilty of sexualizing young kids‚ and parents rightfully want to protect their children from exploitation. On the other hand‚ seeing pole solely as a sexually implicit activity—given its history and the way it's expressed worldwide—might be a bit narrow minded and we could benefit from expanding that viewpoint. After all‚ many report having increased flexibility‚ core strength‚ confidence and stress relief from repeated classes. Either way‚ Harris has stood firm that her “Mommy and Me” workshops aren’t going anywhere‚ and that she hopes to “break stigmas and set the bar” by doing so.

It's been almost 25 years since "Seinfeld" premiered‚ marking the beginning of a nine-season run that would result in 68 Emmy nominations‚ 10 Emmy wins and dozens of other television awards. No one had ever really seen a show like "Seinfeld‚" with its bizarrely iconic characters‚ scenarios and one-liners that became instant classics in American culture. "No soup for you!" would be a meaningless phrase if it weren't for the silly sitcom. Who can do the best Elaine dance is still a favorite competition at parties. The tongue-in-cheek "show about nothing" was really something‚ and the writing and those characters are still etched in the collective conscience.That's why Joel Mulinaro's TikTok skit of a fake "Seinfeld" scene about the Stanley cup craze has gotten over 750‚000 views in one day. His Jerry‚ George and Kramer impressions are impressive‚ especially considering the fact that he looks nothing like any of the actors who play them. But the writing is where the skit really shines—you might swear the skit was written by Larry David himself. The video begins with the instantly recognizable Seinfeld bumper music and image of an apartment building before transitioning into Jerry in the kitchen saying‚ "I don't get it. It's a cup.""No‚ Jerry. It's a Stanley cup‚" responds George.And from there‚ the banter takes a distinctly Seinfeldian path‚ from George's self-deprecation to Jerry's "I can see you as a Stanley‚" to Kramer's neurotically energetic body language‚ complete with a laugh track.Watch: The Stanley @joeymulinaro The Stanley People in the comments shared their delight:"I vote you make 30 minute episodes of Modern Seinfeld‚" wrote one person."I truly forgot for a second that I wasn’t actually watching Seinfeld‚" wrote another."Perfection. Now we just need a part two where Elaine comes in bragging about her new Stanley‚" shared another.This is not Mulinaro's first impersonation of a former television show with a modern twist. He did a skit from "The Office" involving the Wordle game in 2022 and again‚ it's like it was written by the original writers. His Jim impression could not be more perfect‚ and as soon as he opens his mouth as Toby‚ you know exactly who it is.

'Go woke‚ Go broke... strikes again' After 70 years‚ Sports Illustrated magazine is reportedly set to lay off almost all of its print and online employees. The announcement comes on the heels of The Arena Group‚ the company publishing the magazine‚ missing a $2.8 million payment to the Authentic Brands Group (ABG). ABG purchased Sports Illustrated for $110 million in 2019. Arena sent an email to employees on Friday‚ stating‚ “Some employees will be terminated immediately‚ and paid in lieu of the applicable notice period under the [the union contract]. Employees with a last working day of today will be contacted by the People team soon. Other employees will be expected to work through the end of the notice period‚ and will receive additional information shortly.” Sports Illustrated staffers received this today. pic.twitter.com/Q0WdVRzuRbURGENT!

Significant number of Americans still struggling with soaring prices from runaway inflation. The White House’s chief liar‚ Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre‚ continues to lie to the American people‚ this time claiming the economy is thriving under Joe Biden‚ despite a significant number of Americans struggling to pay for bills or food. “It’s clear Americans are starting to feel Pres. Biden’s strong economy!” Jean-Pierre claimed during a press briefing Friday. KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: "It's clear Americans are starting to feel Pres. Biden's strong economy!"UNDER BIDEN: Prices have risen by 17.3%. Real wages are 2.5% lower. Inflation has been above 3% for 33 straight months. Just 13% say they're "better off" financially. pic.twitter.com/8emvxBlOnZ— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) January 19‚ 2024 As noted by the RNC Research X account‚ the press sec’s claim does not reflect the fact inflation has risen at a rate of 3% over the past 33 months‚ negating wage increases. “Though inflation has largely fallen from record highs in 2022‚ prices are still significantly higher than they were before 2020‚” reports Fox News.URGENT! Keep Alex Jones in the fight against the NWO! Please pray &; contribute at DefendJones.com today! An Axios Vibe survey last week also showed “several of President Biden’s crucial voting blocs are plagued by financial stress — despite data that point to an improving economy‚” according to Axios. “Their uneasiness is an important warning sign for Biden less than 10 months before the 2024 election‚” wrote Axios. Moreover‚ a Financial Times poll last November showed only 14 percent of Americans said they were doing better financially since Biden assumed office. Jean-Pierre’s attempt at gaslighting on the economy should come as no surprise as this is the same administration that at one point told Americans saving 16 cents ($0.16) on July 4th cookout food and supplies was evidence the “Biden economic plan is working.” Planning a cookout this year? Ketchup on the news. According to the Farm Bureau‚ the cost of a 4th of July BBQ is down from last year. It’s a fact you must-hear(d). Hot dog‚ the Biden economic plan is working. And that’s something we can all relish. pic.twitter.com/7h9qLauIbC— The White House (@WhiteHouse) July 1‚ 2021 The globalists are increasing their attacks on Infowars and the stakes have never been higher!
