Barron Trump 'took his entire fifth-grade class from his New York City school on a field trip to the White House where 80 students met the president and first lady
Daily Mail/UK, May 15, 2017

Barron Trump probably scored even more cool points with his friends after reportedly taking his entire fifth-grade class to tour the White House and meet his father during a secret trip.

The 11-year-old student at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School went to Washington, D.C. last Wednesday on a bus with roughly 80 classmates accompanied by their teachers and Secret Service agents, the New York Post reported.

'All the kids got dressed up: The girls were in dresses and the boys wore khaki pants and button-downs. It was so cute,' a source told the Post.

'They had a buffet lunch and a tour of the White House and met the president and the first lady, Melania Trump.

'President Trump gave them all a rousing speech about living up to your potential and being the best you could be for your country.

'Barron was really sweet. He was so excited to show his classmates around the White House.'

The large group of students also toured the nation's capital and stayed overnight at a hotel before traveling back to New York City on Thursday.

Unless things have really changed, upscale prep school kids wear ties and suit coats as a matter of course. Less would be underdressed for school.

Halifax woman gets unexpected apology, gift after attempted break-in

An attempted break-in at a Halifax apartment resulted in an unexpected apology and a unique example of Nova Scotia kindness after a six-pack of Alexander Keith’s arrived on her doorstep.

Caitlynne Hines said a drunk man attempted to enter her North End apartment on May 5; he insisted a friend of his was staying at the apartment upstairs.

After she sent him on his way, the man returned a few minutes later and attempted to pick the apartment’s lock.

When that didn’t succeed, the man left again.

    “We didn’t call the police, but we were prepared to if he came back again,” wrote Hines in a Facebook message to Global News.

When she arrived at her home the next day, she found a six-pack of beer, along with a note, on her front door.

“It kind of clicked with me immediately once I recognized the box and I just said ‘oh my god I think it’s apology beer’ and we laughed for a good while over the note that was tucked inside,” wrote Hines.

The letter is signed by a man who identifies himself as Cliff, who said he hoped he didn’t make his friend upstairs look bad.

“I sincerely apologize for waking you up and being so disorderly in the middle of the night,” Cliff wrote in the note.

Police: Man says he stole security system to conceal masturbation

DUNBAR, WV (WCHS/WVAH) — Dunbar police said a burglary suspect told them he broke into a relative’s home to recharge his phone and then stole her security system because he didn’t want her to see him on camera when he masturbated to pornography.

Tristan Torelle Tucker, 27, of St. Albans was charged Thursday with daytime burglary after an incident that was reported April 23 on Dunbar Avenue, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.

Dunbar police said the relative said she believed Tucker had broken into her home because he had done this several previous times.

Police said Tucker told them he broke through a window using a glass breaking tool on the end of a knife because he wanted to charge his cell phone. While inside the residence, he said, he started watching pornography on the phone and began to masturbate, the complaint said.

The complaint said Tucker told police he stole the security cameras and the DVR box from the home because he didn’t want his relative to see him masturbating on camera. Police said he told officers he took the cameras behind a store and stomped on the DVR and then threw everything into the river so it could not be recovered.

MIT student sues CIA for info about agency’s Twitter jokes



CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A Massachusetts doctoral student is trying to force the CIA to open up about how it uses jokes on social media.

The CIA has been on Twitter since June 2014 when it tweeted, “We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet.” It was a humorous nod to the agency’s secrecy.

Now, Amy Johnson, a doctoral candidate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is suing the CIA for failing to turn over documents she requested under open records laws in 2015. She is seeking, among other things, any training documents regarding the use of social media.

Her lawsuit says the matter is important to study because it’s rare for a federal agency, especially one with such serious duties, to employ humor in its public communications.

Mannequin in Vegas hotel room caused shock and injury, SoCal man's lawsuit says

LAS VEGAS --
A tourist from Southern California is suing a Las Vegas Strip hotel, claiming a life-sized mannequin in his darkened room caused him to flee and suffer injuries.

Kent Jacobs Boutwell filed the lawsuit Monday against the Planet Hollywood casino-hotel in Clark County District Court, seeking at least $10,000 in damages.

"I've got some experience handling hotel casino cases," said Boutwell's lawyer, Richard Johnson. "This was certainly a new set of facts."

Caesars Entertainment declined to comment on the lawsuit, citing pending litigation.

On the use of mannequins in their nearly 2,500 hotel rooms, a spokeswoman said Planet Hollywood has traditionally been decorated with memorabilia, which is now being removed as part of a renovation that will wrap up this year.

Woman who dressed as dinosaur to spook horses turns self in

CHARLESTON, S.C. - A woman who police say wore a dinosaur costume and spooked carriage horses in South Carolina has turned herself in.

Charleston Police spokesman Charles Francis said in a statement that 26-year-old Nicole Wells is charged with disorderly conduct and wearing a mask or disguise.

Francis says Wells was dressed in an orange Tyrannosaurus rex costume and walked toward the horses pulling the carriage. She started growling Thursday even though the driver shouted several times for her to leave.

When the horses became spooked, the driver was thrown from the carriage, which ran over his leg. The horses and the passengers in the carriage were not injured.

Palmetto Carriage Works owner Tom Doyle suggested the event was a stunt by protesting animal rights activists. The police statement did not give a motive.

Wells didn't have a phone listing and it wasn't known if she had a lawyer.

Mystery over sudden appearance of scaffolding on couple’s home

A married couple returned from the supermarket to find their house covered in scaffolding and they have no idea why.

Liz and Ken Thompson let their home on Wirksworth Road in Duffiled, Derbyshire, at 10.45am on May 19 and returned a couple of hours later to see scaffolding surrounding their house.

The pensioners said they had no idea where the work was supposed to take place because no contractor’s name or sign was left at the house.

They said they were left ‘shocked and surprised’ at where it had come from and are waiting for a scaffolding company to arrive to tell them how the framework came to appear on their house.

The couple, who have lived in the house for 30 years, have contacted at least one local firm, who have said that the work hadn’t been done by them.

Bay City laundromat's fresh concrete vandalized with 'giant penis' etching

BAY CITY, MI -- Police are looking for a pair of young scofflaws who defaced the parking lot of a Bay City laundromat by etching a phallus into some freshly laid concrete.

Malarie Cisnero, location manager at Totally Clean Coin Laundry at 1005 N. Henry St., said the business had poured cement in its lot Monday morning, May 22.

"I came to work this morning and one of the maintenance guys called me outside to view what was written in the brand new concrete," Cisnero said on Tuesday.

Inscribed in the lot was "Savage Squad" and a "giant penis," Cisnero said.

Human leg in fishing boot washes up on beach

JUNEAU, Alaska — A human leg with a fishing boot still on was found in a debris pile that collected in the waters near Alaska’s capital city.

Juneau Police Lt. David Campbell says the leg — from the knee down — was found by state game workers clearing out a debris pile Monday from Gastineau Channel near Sandy Beach.

It had deteriorated to the point they couldn’t determine race or gender. It’s been sent to the state medical examiner’s office in Anchorage for possible identification.

Police will search for other remains. He wasn’t aware of any missing people in Juneau this year.

Campbell says bodies show up in Juneau every few years. The last was in 2016 when a hiker found human remains near Mendenhall Glacier. He says those were of a person reported missing in 2010.

Courthouse X-ray scanner finds live monkey in purse

BAY CITY, MI -- It's not unusual for security personnel at the Bay County Court Facility to see visitors attempt to bring odd or prohibited items past them.

Recently, though, something particularly exotic -- even tropical -- nearly made it into the courthouse: a squirrel monkey stowed away in a patron's purse.

Former Bay City resident Linda Stevenson on Thursday, May 18, visited the facility at 1230 Washington Ave. and put her purse on the X-ray machine at the building's security station.

"I pushed the button for it to go through when it started making noises," said Bay County Sheriff's Court Security Deputy Pat McIver. "I was like, 'What was that?' She goes, 'Oh, that's my monkey.'"

The X-ray captured an image of the diminutive simian's skeleton within Stevenson's purse.

"I said, 'I need to see your monkey,'"

Nude dancers push back against class-action settlement

A growing number of exotic dancers want to block a national class-action settlement alleging workplace exploitation by Michigan-based Déjà Vu clubs, saying it will pay many dancers only a few hundred dollars each.

Kalamazoo dancer Merry Clark said in a letter to the court that the proposed $6.5-million settlement is "nowhere near enough" for her and other dancers she says have been outrageously exploited by Déjà Vu Services and related companies for "sweaty gross work."

Also, dancers' attorneys from as far away as Massachusetts and Tennessee have filed objections to the settlement ahead of a June 6 hearing in federal court in Detroit, saying the proposal is not fair, reasonable, or adequate.

Attorneys for the lead plaintiffs and for Déjà Vu say the settlement is fair and contains many non-monetary benefits for the dancers. They say objectors still represent a tiny handful of the more than 28,000 dancers and former dancers who are class members.

U.S. District Judge Stephen Murphy can't modify the proposed settlement, but can only accept it or reject it as is, attorneys say.

The case centers on whether the dancers are employees or independent contractors — a classification that affects issues such as whether the clubs must pay them a minimum hourly wage or can instead charge them for doing business inside the clubs.

Though it's billed as a $6.5-million settlement, the proposal would provide only $920,000 in cash payments to settle claims from more than 28,000 dancers who worked at 64 different clubs in 18 states, including 11 in Michigan, Boston attorney Harold Lichten argued in a May 12 court filing.

Dozens of South Koreans were arrested for smuggling gold in their private parts over a two year period, local media reports.

The smugglers are said to have sneaked in more than two tonnes of the precious metal worth around £77million since March 2015.

Male smugglers hid as many as six gold bars weighing 200g in their rectums while women stashed it in their vaginas.

Bear assists police in catching three violent robbers in Tochigi Prefecture

Bears say only we can prevent forest fires, but they’ll help out when preventing robberies.

At around 2:50 pm on 23 May, three men ages 18 to 22 broke into a home in Utsunomiya, Tochigi. They then began assaulting the two 75-year-old women who resided there causing injuries. When violent invasion was all finished they ran off, taking with them a safe full of approximately 6.6 million yen (US$59,000) in jewelry.

Afterward, the trio were found by law enforcement in a car in Nikko City, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the scene of the crime. Tochigi Police gave pursuit in a helicopter as the fugitives tried to escape along the highway. In order to shake the chopper, they then ditched the car inside a tunnel on the highway and ran into the mountain forest.

And that’s when things went really bad for them.

As they ran through the woods the three men came face-to-face with a bear. And although they were tough stuff when it came to beating up elderly women, these thugs felt outmatched by the beast and quickly turned back the way they came.
