Couples often see the holiday season as a time to come together and celebrate their love. But for long-distance couples‚ this time of year can be especially challenging without your partner by your side.  While you may be miles apart‚ it doesn’t mean you can’t still create special moments and memories together. There are plenty of fun and creative long-distance dates that can help you feel connected while joyously celebrating the holiday season with your partner. Here are seven virtual date ideas that will make the distance feel less daunting this holiday season. 1. Movie Marathon Movie nights are classic‚ and they can be just as enjoyable as long-distance relationship date ideas. Choose a classic holiday movie such as “Home Alone” or tune into one of the latest Hallmark Christmas movies. Thanks to modern technology‚ you can use streaming services or video chat apps to sync up your viewing experience‚ whether you choose a movie or TV show. Grab some snacks‚ get cozy‚ and watch the movie marathon from the comfort of your own homes. And don’t forget to have a post-movie discussion to share your thoughts and feelings about the film. It’s a simple but effective way to bond and create shared memories. 2. Online Baking Class With an online baking class‚ you and your partner can enjoy the sweet satisfaction of creating delicious treats together‚ even if you’re miles apart. While you could find a virtual cooking class to attend‚ consider keeping it intimate by cooking just the two of you.  Pick the same treat to bake or choose a dish for the other person to whip up. Not only will have a great time learning new baking skills‚ but you’ll start a tradition you can recreate in person later. 3. Virtual Gift Unwrapping One of the most exciting parts of the holiday season is unwrapping presents. Physical separation keeps you away from your partner‚ but it doesn’t mean you can’t experience that real-time joy. Set up a virtual gift exchange where you both choose and send each other presents. On a designated date‚ video chat and take turns opening your gifts‚ like having a mini-Christmas morning together. Seeing the surprise and excitement on your partner’s face as they open their present adds a special touch to the experience. Courtesy of KATERINA BOLOVTSOVA (via Pexels) 4. Decorating Challenge Looking for a fun and festive way to get creative with your long-distance partner this holiday season? Try a decorating challenge! Set a theme‚ whether it’s Christmas trees‚ gingerbread houses‚ or even ugly sweaters‚ and then get to work decorating. Share your progress and ideas through video chat or pictures. It’s a great opportunity to show off your artistic skills and have some friendly competition. And the best part? You’ll have a beautifully decorated creation to enjoy throughout the holiday season. So grab your glitter‚ ribbons‚ and ornaments‚ and let the challenge begin. 5. Countdown to Christmas Calendar Create a special countdown to Christmas calendar with your partner to make the holiday season even more exciting.  Fill the calendar with fun activities‚ virtual surprises‚ or even daily messages to keep the excitement alive. On the days leading up to Christmas‚ you and your partner can open a new door‚ virtual envelope‚ or reveal a surprise together. It’s a great way to feel connected and create shared experiences‚ even when you can’t be together in person.  6. Virtual Winter Wonderland Tour Immerse yourself in the magical world of winter wonderlands with a virtual tour. While you may not be able to physically visit these enchanting places together‚ you can still experience the beauty and charm of winter from the comfort of your own homes.  Take a virtual stroll through snow-covered streets‚ marvel at breathtaking ice sculptures‚ and soak in the festive atmosphere. You can find virtual tours of famous winter destinations like Lapland‚ the Swiss Alps‚ or even the Northern Lights. It may even give you ideas for where you’d like to travel together someday. 7. New Year’s Eve Countdown New Year’s Eve is a time to say goodbye to the old and welcome in the new. And even if you and your partner can’t be together to celebrate‚ you can still have a memorable countdown. Plan a virtual New Year’s Eve celebration complete with a video call‚ festive decorations‚ and champagne (or sparkling grape juice) to toast at midnight in your respective time zones. Share your resolutions‚ reflect on the past year‚ and look forward to the future together. Watch the ball drop on TV or stream a virtual countdown. It may not be the same as being physically together‚ but it’s a meaningful way to ring in the new year.  It’s natural to feel a little heartbroken about not being with your partner during the holiday season. But with these fun‚ festive long-distance date nights‚ you can feel connected no matter how far apart you are. This article was written exclusively for Love What Matters by Kate Fann.

Marvel star Ryan Reynolds sent a message to movie fans‚ urging them to stop sharing sneak peek photos nabbed during the filming of “Deadpool 3.” The 47-year-old actor posted his thoughts about it in an Instagram story published Wednesday.  “Surprises are part of the magic of theatrical movies. It’s important for us to shoot the new ‘Deadpool’ film in real‚ natural environments‚ using practical effects as opposed to making the movie indoors and digitally. Telephoto lenses continue to spoil surprises and create a difficult situation for everyone‚” Reynolds wrote‚ per Deadline. “Here’s hoping some of the websites and social channels hold back showing images before they’re ready‚” the celebrity continued. “The film is built for audience joy — and our highest hope is to preserve as much of that magic as possible for the finished film and the big screen. Part of the reason people post spoilers is because they’re excited. I realize these aren’t real world issues and it’s firmly in the ‘good problems’ bucket. I love making this movie.” “Deadpool 3” is a superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Deadpool‚ which will be distributed by Walt Disney Studios. It will be the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and serves as a sequel to “Deadpool” (2016) and “Deadpool 2” (2018). Both previous films featured Reynolds as the lead character. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The original “Deadpool” earned $782.6 million and was one of the highest-grossing films of 2016. It also became the highest-grossing R-rated film at the time. The sequel‚ released two years later‚ was also a critical and financial success.  The story is based upon an unconventional anti-hero‚ a former Special Forces operative turned mercenary named Wade Wilson. He acquires healing powers after an experiment gone wrong and adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Marvel is banking on a hit after several flops‚ including “The Marvels” earlier this year. Disney CEO Bob Iger recently said that the studio has made “too many” sequels in the past. “I don’t want to apologize for making sequels‚” he said. “We have to have a reason to make it beyond commerce.” “Deadpool 3” is slated to be released in the United States on July 26‚ 2024‚ as part of Phase Five of the MCU.

House Republicans unveiled on Thursday their resolution to formalize the corruption-focused impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. Three panels — the Oversight‚ Judiciary‚ and Ways and Means Committees — have led the impeachment probe since mid-September‚ when then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced the endeavor. Biden and his allies insist he committed no wrongdoing and claim the impeachment inquiry is tainted by politics. The 14-page resolution directs the committees to “continue their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach Joseph Biden‚ President of the United States of America‚ and for other purposes.” Among the authorities outlined in the text are sections governing the release of deposition transcripts‚ hearings‚ reports from participating committees‚ and rules for the top Democrat on each panel to get subpoenas‚ witnesses‚ or information deemed “necessary” for the investigation. In addition to introducing the impeachment resolution on Thursday‚ Rep. Kelly Armstrong (R-ND) released a resolution for authorizing the enforcement of subpoenas issued by Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY)‚ Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH)‚ and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO). A House Rules Committee markup session is scheduled to take place next Tuesday‚ after which a vote to pass the impeachment resolution could take place later in the week. If passed‚ the inquiry would follow a similar track as the first impeachment probe against former President Donald Trump‚ which Democrats did not vote to authorize right away either. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said the House is now moving forward with a vote to combat alleged “stonewalling” by the White House‚ which he claimed has impeded efforts by investigators to get all the witnesses and documents they seek. The White House has rejected accusations of obstruction as “false” and shared a list of some of the documents and personnel made available to Congress. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The GOP-led House has been investigating whether the business practices of Biden’s family members fostered corruption in government — spurred by a money trail showing millions of dollars from foreign countries. Congressional investigators have also been looking into how the Department of Justice handled the criminal probe into the president’s son‚ Hunter Biden‚ and there is now a high-profile fight over getting him to comply with a subpoena to appear for a deposition this month. Republicans have a slim majority that was made narrower by the expulsion of Rep. George Santos (R-NY) last week and they cannot afford to lose more than a couple of GOP votes. While all Democrats are likely to oppose the resolution‚ at least one Republican‚ Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO)‚ has said he is leaning toward voting against it. Even if the inquiry gets formalized‚ any future articles of impeachment face a high bar for the Democrat-controlled Senate to vote in favor of convicting President Biden. On Wednesday‚ Biden insisted that Americans are being suckered by “a bunch of lies” when pressed by a reporter about alleged contacts the president had with his son’s and brother’s foreign business associates. Still‚ many House Republicans see value in formalizing the inquiry at this juncture. “A vote on an impeachment inquiry puts the House in the best position to prevail in court and uncover the truth‚” Armstrong said in a statement.

Apparently responding to the widespread anti-Semitism that has ballooned on campus since the Hamas massacre of 1‚200 Israelis on October 7‚ Palantir Technologies‚ the data analytics company co-founded by billionaire investor and entrepreneur Peter Thiel‚ announced on Thursday that they would set aside 180 positions for Jewish students who “fear for their safety on campus and need to seek refuge outside traditional establishments of higher education.” Palantir’s action follows a day after the presidents of Harvard University‚ UPenn‚ and MIT all dodged the question of whether calling on their campuses for the genocide of Jews constituted bullying and harassment‚ citing the need for “context.” “We at Palantir have been committed to defending the principles that make democratic rule possible since our founding two decades ago‚” Palantir wrote. “Our software embodies our values and commitments. These include high performance‚ efficiency‚ transparency‚ fairness‚ and a rejection of narrow thinking‚ including fear and skepticism of the other and outright bigotry” “We believe that these values must be backed up by actions on the battlefield‚ intellectual and otherwise‚ given the egregious levels of antisemitism in our society‚ especially at our most elite educational institutions‚” the company continued. “Some of these organizations seem structurally incapable of taking any steps to reform themselves. Students on campuses are terrified and have been instructed by administrators to hide their Judaism.” Then the company announced their offer: “We are launching an initiative for students who because of antisemitism fear for their safety on campus and need to seek refuge outside traditional establishments of higher education. They are welcome to join Palantir‚ and we are setting aside 180 positions for them immediately. More details to follow shortly.” We at Palantir have been committed to defending the principles that make democratic rule possible since our founding two decades ago.

Speaking at the Reagan National Defense Forum‚ Karp slammed the companies for their “abysmal failure at standing up to people who are anti-American‚ who are breathing the vapors of a thin new religion at elite schools.” “As far as I can tell‚ there are only three companies that have been publicly pro-Israel on Oct. 7‚” he said‚ including Palantir‚ Booz Allen‚ and Anduril Industries.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Like‚ somehow the corporate elite of this country thinks when it’s time to make money‚ you stand up. And when it’s time to stand up‚ you go play golf. And like‚ we’ve got to change that. That’s our fault‚ that’s no one else’s fault‚” he added.

The GOP-led House voted on Thursday to censure Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) for pulling a fire alarm in a congressional office building in September when there was not an emergency. Three Democrats joined with the majority of Republicans to approve the resolution‚ making for a final tally of 214-191. Five other members‚ including one Republican‚ voted “present‚” while 23 lawmakers did not vote. “We are a nation of laws‚ and when someone breaks those laws‚ they deserve to be held accountable. Today‚ the House censured Rep. Jamaal Bowman‚ who pulled a fire alarm to obstruct the work of Congress‚” Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI)‚ who introduced the censure resolution‚ said in a post to X. “Actions have consequences‚ and no one is above the law.” Despite the outcome‚ Bowman appeared to be in good spirits‚ smiling and hugging fellow Democrats who gathered around him on the House floor. Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman is all smiles after he was officially censured by his colleagues in a bipartisan vote pic.twitter.com/GpScKJD870 — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) December 7‚ 2023 Bowman‚ a former middle school principal and member of the leftist “Squad‚” faced controversy after pulling a fire alarm that resulted in a temporary evacuation of the Cannon House Office Building in late September ahead of a government spending vote. A criminal probe ensued‚ and Bowman eventually took a plea deal on a misdemeanor count of falsely pulling a fire alarm. Bowman apologized for his actions but denied that he pulled the fire alarm as a delay tactic‚ as some have alleged. The House Ethics Committee later declined to investigate Bowman over the incident. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Unfortunately‚ Republicans are here trying to rehash an already litigated matter‚ a matter in which the Republican-controlled House committee of ethics decided to not proceed with any further investigation‚” Bowman said during debate on the censure resolution after a motion to table the measure from the Democrats failed on Wednesday. “This is an insult to the people I was elected to represent‚” he added. 🚨 NEW FOOTAGE: Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman removes warning signs before pulling the fire alarm in a House office building last month pic.twitter.com/dhwOQN2G6y — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 26‚ 2023 House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Bowman has already faced accountability and argued that the House GOP’s latest censure effort was “worthless.” The trio of Democrats who voted in favor of censuring Bowman — Reps. Jahana Hayes (D-CT)‚ Chris Pappas (D-NH)‚ and Marie Gluesenkamp (D-WA) — all reportedly come from swing districts. “At the end of the day‚ Representative Bowman broke the law … the resolution was a straightforward condemnation of his actions‚ and I voted yes‚” Pappas said in a statement given to Axios. A Punchbowl News reporter said Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD)‚ the sole Republican to vote “present‚” explained his stance as‚ “We should have had an Ethics Committee investigation into this just like we did on someone who wasn’t actually convicted of a criminal offense.” Bowman is now the 27th member of the House to be censured‚ which is essentially a formal rebuke and a less severe form of punishment than expulsion. Other House members who have been censured this year include Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). Rep. George Santos (R-NY) moved to force a House vote to expel Bowman last week‚ but the embattled New York Republican got expelled the next day. His expulsion followed the release of a scathing House Ethics Committee report. Santos also faces 23 federal charges — including aggravated identity theft‚ wire fraud‚ and conspiracy — to which he has pleaded not guilty.

From Massachusetts to Wisconsin‚ schools across the United States are directing children to secretive online LGBT chat platforms where minors discuss “gender affirming surgeries‚” transgenderism‚ and even occult practices with adults who identify as LGBT. At public schools in Massachusetts‚ for example‚ administrators pushed youth who identify as LGBTQIA+ to QChat‚ a secretive platform that connects aims to provide “chat-based discussion groups for LGBTQ+ and questioning teens ages 13 to 19” and invites participants to join conversations on everything from tarot cards to “queer youth activism” to “sex and relationships‚” all without parental permission. The site‚ a project of various LGBT activist groups and Planned Parenthood‚ is even equipped with a “quick escape” button that allows users to swiftly hide their use of the site from parents. And in Wisconsin‚ students were guided to TrevorSpace‚ which similarly allows minors who identify as LGBT to anonymously chat with adults on a platform. The platform‚ a project of the Trevor Project‚ has been exposed as a hotspot for graphic conversations about sexual fetishes — adults even reportedly gave minors advice on how to discreetly obtain breast binders and hide the purchase from their parents. Perhaps most disturbing‚ adults on the platform detailed their masturbation habits in chat rooms that were open to minors. The revelation comes as parents grapple for control over their children’s health with states‚ school districts‚ and medical organizations‚ all of which have sought to enable both the social and medical transition of children without parental consent. In one instance‚ a social worker at a school in Maine even secretly supplied a 13-year-old girl with a breast binder meant to flatten her chest‚ aiding her attempt to socially transition. Nicole Neily‚ the founder and president of Parents Defending Education‚ says the promotion of these secretive chat-groups that circumvent parents is often done under the guise of anti-bullying. “Most gender policies in districts are promoted as ‘anti-bullying’ and ‘anti-harassment’ measures‚ and districts often cite data on mental health and suicidality‚” Neily told The Daily Wire. She said her group is working to provide parents with information on where they’re being circumvented by radical gender activists in the schools. “Parents are emotionally blackmailed into supporting ‘gender-affirming’ care‚” Neilly said. “Through our tip line‚ PDE receives information from across the country‚ and gender issues are ubiquitous from coast to coast.” In the Massachusetts school district‚ Brockton Public Schools‚ administrators pushed the QChat on an “LGBTQIA+ Resource Guide” intended to “improve the comfort level of School Personnel to provide appropriate gender sensitive interactions.” The guide advertised the platform after first noting that youth who identify as LGBT “are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety disorders” and are more likely to attempt suicide. Wisconsin’s Pepin Area Schools pushed the TrevorSpace under the guise of mental health resources. The platform similarly allows minors who identify as LGBT to anonymously chat with adults on a platform. One mother found the chat space featured graphic conversations about sexual fetishes. Adults even reportedly gave minors advice on how to discreetly obtain breast binders and hide the purchase from their parents. Perhaps most disturbing‚ adults on the platform detailed their masturbation habits in chat rooms that were open to minors. But the two districts are far from the only ones to promote the chat platforms. Wisconsin’s Madison Metropolitan School District promotes the QChat on an “LGBTQIA+ Equity” page‚ telling students to “join QChat Space for an upcoming group!” A link to the TrevorSpace is accompanied with the description‚ “Start meeting LGBTQ friends today!” and describes TrevorSpace as “an affirming international community for LGBTQ young people ages 13-24.” San Juan Unified School District‚ located just outside of Sacramento‚ California‚ also promoted the TrevorSpace. The Charlotte Independent School District in a small Texas town advertised the Q Chat Space‚ as well as other youth LGBT chat rooms earlier this year. Meanwhile‚ Parents Defending Education pointed to dozens of other school districts that cite the Trevor Project‚ the activist organization behind the TrevorSpace‚ as a resource. A wide array of other schools from across America‚ including California’s Long Beach Unified School District and the Beverly Hills High School‚ pushed QChat while District of Columbia Public Schools and Wisconsin’s DeForest Area School District pushed both chat platforms.  Both platforms have c0me under heavy criticism from those who are concerned about the threat they could pose to children’s safety. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Republican lawmakers have blasted the Center for Disease Control for their promotion of QChat. Eight members of Congress‚ led by Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC)‚ sent a letter to then-Director Rochelle Walensky calling it “unconscionable” for the government to promote the platform. State officials have also come under fire for advertising the site‚ with former Arizona State Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman hit with a lawsuit over the Arizona Department of Education’s promotion of the Q Chat Space. The suit was dismissed‚ though Hoffman was ousted from office after her endorsement of the site became a focus of the election. The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty drafted a letter for parents to sign to demand that the TrevorSpace be removed as a resource on school district sites. “Chat room-style forums allow adults and children to connect to discuss topics such as sexuality and sexual preferences‚ gender transitioning (including how to obtain sex hormones and promotion of irreversible surgeries)‚ and how to keep information secret from parents‚” the letter says. “Students discussing sexuality with adults‚ often seeking to eliminate parents entirely from the conversation‚ raises significant concerns about student safety.” “If the school district promotes TrevorSpace as a recommended crisis support resource for students‚ I urge you to discontinue such recommendations and remove it immediately as a resource from your website and any other locations‚” it says. Reno‚ Nevada’s Washoe County School District previously listed the QChat Space on its counseling resources and community services but removed the link following a Daily Wire inquiry. “It is not on our district’s list of approved websites and we have removed it‚” a representative of the district said. None of the other school districts responded to requests for comment. Neither the Trevor Project not QChat responded to requests.
