        Trump Mocked After China's President Xi Looks Absolutely Miserable To Meet Him In Cringey Video
    
A video is making the rounds on Tiktok and has inspired a lot of discussion both on that platform and over on Twitter. 
In the video, a practitioner at ProHealth Chiropractic in Texas is seen using a chiropractor tool on a baby's back.
The infant was reportedly just 6-days-old.
@prohealthchiropracticRight at 6 days old, Carter got his 1st adjustment and LOVED IT🤩💚💙  #newborn #pediatricchiropractor #lovingit #babyadjustment
Reactions were half and half, with negative thoughts on the idea of infants getting chiropractic adjustments on one side and personal stories of chiropractors working on infants on the other.
First, the nay-side.

\u201c@christapeterso I'm 55 and had a back injury 5 years ago and I've never been to a chiro because I don't want to risk worse damage to my back, and this is a SIX-DAY-OLD? What the hell, I'm hyperventilating here\u201d

\u201c@christapeterso @Solidarity_Star There was a parent at my daughter\u2019s daycare who told us that she\u2019d been taking her son to the chiropractor since he was an infant, and how it was really convenient because it was the same chiropractor where they already took their dog\u201d

\u201c@christapeterso I used to be a lactation counselor and you would not believe how many people are told to take their babies to chiropractors if they are having trouble breastfeeding. Just terrifying.\u201d

\u201c@christapeterso I took my newborn to a chiropractor because she wouldn\u2019t turn her head one way (she was super cramped up and you could feel it bc my wife is so tiny)\nIt helped her a lot and she started using her full range\nThat said,too many chiros are 110% taking advantage and acting unethical.\u201d

\u201c@LIFOMichael @christapeterso I took my toddler for an adjustment due to an ear infection. The infection cleared but I really didn\u2019t like the way it made me feel so I just use the antibiotics now\u201d

Social media users pounced with jokes after MAGA women spoke to the Washington Post and the New York Times about the lack of "masculine" men in Washington, D.C., which is hilarious for a party pretty much obsessed with the way "real men" act.
The notion that masculinity is being attacked–namely by the left wing–is a popular one among Republicans such as Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, who once accused "the Left" of hurting "the future of the American man" and went on to claim the "deconstruction of America begins with and depends on the deconstruction of American men."

Halloween, a time for treats, tricks and...knocking over other people's lawn decor?
Maybe that last one is more unique, but it is the experience of Californian Tonyia Sampognaro and the witches on her front lawn this year. In a series of videos captured by Sampognaro's Ring cam and then later made public, a jogging woman stopped after running by the decor, then doubled back and punched the life-size witches on the lawn.

We all know the feeling of working hard to pick out the perfect gift for a loved one, only for that person to not appreciate all of our effort.
Once we give a gift, the recipient is free to do whatever they want with it, though that doesn't remove the sting of dismissiveness and disrespect.
