Anytime anyone says this to me I know that they're absolutely ancient and have no idea what's going on in modern schools. It's not the Breakfast Club anymore.
High School students shows what their 3rd day of senior year looks like inside the classroom
No one is talking, no one interacting with each other. The entire class has their heads down fully focused on their phones
High school is supposed to be some of the best and most social times of people’s lives, this just looks depressing

Not once. Not twice. Not three times.
This mom had the cops called on her FOUR SEPARATE TIMES because her kids were...
Outside.
Run inside to your iPad kids! I don't want someone calling 911!

Ladies, you need to be babymaxxxxing...especially later in life.
Women who had a child after the age of 40 were FOUR TIMES more likely to live to 100.

As a Hindu, I’d say most of us don’t begin with the Mahabharata. We grow up first on the Panchatantra which are animal stories that teach wisdom, strategy, and human nature; the Hitopadesha - lessons in ethics and conduct; and the Jataka tales which are stories of compassion and virtue. The Mahabharata comes later, when you’re ready for life’s harder questions
I used to read a quick story from the panchatantra and recount it to my American nephew when he was little and he was absolutely riveted! He’d beg for more such tales

1st baby at 40: disastrous

Why is this so hard to understand?

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.
I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.
Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.
However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.
When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.
The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.
Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?
I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.
The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.
Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.
“I think she’s going to find that you can’t sit on the fence... The real win is when ordinary people can say these things.”

All Trump has to do is claim he identifies as a woman & she’d be obligated to accept it.
That’s how stupid gender ideology is.

Flippable Texas House Seats in 2024
The political winds are swirling around in 2024. For several reasons, I plan to focus until November 5, 2024 on Texas House #txlege seats that can possibly flip from Democrat today to Republican @TexasGOP .
During my GOP primary campaign for Texas House, I said that the weak link in defending against the war on Texas by the feds and globalists is the swamp-controlled Texas House. The total number of elected Texas House Republicans is an important variable in the Speaker race which will determine whether the grip of the Austin swamp on the Texas House can be broken.
I call it Speaker Math. The question is how many Republican Betrayers does it take to join with Democrats to put in a swampy, Uniparty Speaker? The formula is B (Betrayers needed) = R (total Republicans in the Texas House) – 74.
Currently, there are 86 Republicans in the Texas House. So, the GOP Betrayers needed is 12. (Joe Straus and Charlie Geren only needed 11 Betrayers in 2009 to start Uniparty control hostile to conservatives.) If we flip a net two seats to Republican in November, R will be 88, and Betrayers needed is 14. Every extra flip makes it harder for the Uniparty to keep power in the next legislative session. (If the 46 Republican House candidates that have signed the letter to pick a Speaker in the Republican Caucus and vote against candidates who pledge to name Dem chairs stand firm, the Republican Dem-lovers will be forced to cast a record vote of their betrayal on the House floor in January.)
Given that the Dems favor mutilating and sterilizing children to enable their delusions, almost every Democrat refused to vote for a constitutional amendment to require citizenship to vote, and most Dems are soft on the crime that is devastating the voters in their districts, there is plenty of motivation for me to focus on flipping as many Texas House seats red as we can.
So what prospects are there for flipping seats in 2024?
I start with looking at the votes in the 2022 general election for Governor Abbott versus Beto to get a percentage vote. I looked only at races where there is a Republican challenger in a district currently occupied by a Democrat. In those races, there is not a single Libertarian candidate this cycle. The Green Party does not list its 2024 nominees for Texas House on its website. I doubt there is a Green Party candidate in these races, either, but conventional wisdom says that if so, it would likely pull votes away from the Dem.
Note that there were Libertarian and Green candidates in the 2022 gubernatorial race. I made the simplifying assumption that Libertarian governor voters would more likely vote Republican for Texas House and Green governor voters would more likely vote Democrat. So, the number of R – D I am using for likely flip-ability in the 2022 governor race in the district is R+L-D-G. (I included the Abbott and Beto percentage vote in the district for a different perspective.)
I also showed in several ways whether the seat is open or whether the GOP candidate is challenging an incumbent. Normally, open seats are more likely to flip than those held by incumbents.
Remember, the percentage of people that have to vote differently this time compared to 2022 for a flip to happen is half the R – D value. For example, if the vote was 53% D to 47% R last time for an R – D of -6%, just over 3% need to switch to flip the seat. Here is the list in order of “R – D” from highest to lowest:

I doubt that anything lower on the list will flip. In fact, even the bottom of the list above is unlikely to flip. But for completeness, I include all other currently held Democrat seats with Republican challengers:

A more in-depth analysis is needed of each race.
When I look at the top nine GOP candidates on the list, it is very impressive. Don McLaughlin @donfortexas is a businessman and former mayor of Uvalde. Robert Garza is an attorney with a lifetime of public service including being mayor of Del Rio. Denise Villalobos @DeniseForTXHD34 is a former school board member. Steve Kinard @KinardForTX is successful oil and gas financier with a strong interest in grid security and blockchain technology. Doc Guerra @votedrguerra is an OB/GYN doctor in the valley who has the experience of running the same race in 2022. Rose Cannaday has served on the Irving City Council. John Jun @JohnJunForTexas , an immigrant from South Korea, is an attorney with an impressive record of community service including Coppell city council and getting an education while supporting a family. Kay Smith @KaySmith4Texas is a universally admired longtime Harris County conservative activist. And Stephen Stanley has had a real estate career and served on the city councils of both Sachse and Garland.
Each of us should be looking to see what we can do to help the top twelve or so which are in our area of operation. I hope to be writing more about these important races as we progress.
