Valentine’s Day has a reputation for being an extravagant holiday. For couples with kids or busy work schedules‚ it can feel impossible to schedule a romantic evening. With these low-key Valentine’s Day date ideas‚ you can fit in a romantic date whether it’s after the kids have gone to bed or you and your partner have come home after a long day at work.  1. Movie Night Movies are a classic date night idea for a reason; it’s a great opportunity to snuggle up. Whether you love laughing at a classic comedy‚ working out the pieces to a psychological thriller‚ or swooning over romance films‚ cuddle together and simply relax. Transform your living room with lots of blankets and pillows for a truly cozy experience.  2. Home Wine Tasting If you and your partner love tasting new wines but can’t get to a winery‚ bring the winery home to you. Each of you can pick out a small selection of 2–3 wines and then taste them together. If wine isn’t your thing‚ mix it up with craft beer or cocktails.   3. Living Room Picnic Going out to a restaurant may not be in the cards for you‚ so order food instead! Set up a cozy blanket in the living room‚ put on some soothing romantic music‚ and indulge in a dinner date. The best part is there’s much less clean-up than if you decided to cook.  4. Bookstore or Library Date Sometimes simple dates can be the most fun and if you and your partner love to read‚ it’s exciting to buzz around your local bookstore or library. Look at the selection‚ perusing both new books and classics. Books are a great way to start some different conversations you may not engage in otherwise. This Valentine’s Day date idea is one you can do any time of day‚ so it’s easy to fit it in when you can. 5. Morning Coffee Date Evening dates aren’t always an option and there’s no reason you can’t have a morning date. Meet at a local coffee shop or brew coffee at home and sit together simply enjoying each other’s company. Focus on your partner‚ providing undivided attention‚ because you’re probably not always able to get quiet moments like this. Courtesy of Miriam Alonso (via Pexels) 6. Scenic Drive Driving together with your partner can force you to give attention – and in a good way! The confines of being together can feel intimate‚ even with an activity as simple as driving. Get in the car and see where the road takes you‚ whether it’s to a scenic area in the middle of nowhere or a housing development with gorgeous homes that inspire you.  7. Board Game Night Board games are great for fun dates‚ especially for couples who love a little friendly competition. Choose a classic board game or something new you’ve never played before. If video games are more your style‚ play some of those instead. 8. DIY Spa Night Going to the spa can be a luxurious experience‚ but it doesn’t leave room for making connections. Opt for a DIY spa night at home for a more intimate Valentine’s Day date idea. Give each other massages with fragrant massage oil or enjoy relaxing face masks.  9. Stargazing Quality time outdoors may not be in the forecast if you live in a colder climate‚ but if the weather permits‚ a night spent stargazing could be a very romantic way to spend your Valentine’s Day. Find a quiet spot in your own backyard or a public park‚ somewhere with plenty of room to see the night sky. Spread out a blanket‚ lay beside each other‚ and spend some time stargazing. 10. Exchange Love Letters Writing love letters has become something of a lost art in the days of technology. Recreate this romantic gesture of the past and write love letters to each other. Sit together on the couch and exchange the letters‚ reading through them together‚ and toast to your love. 11. Go Tech-Free Technology can feel incredibly consuming‚ whether it’s spending time on your phone or streaming movies and TV shows. Consider ditching all devices on Valentine’s Day and just sit with your partner. Let the conversation flow by discussing whatever crosses your mind‚ from dream vacations you want to take to renovations you’d like to do to your home. Enjoying a simple Valentine’s Day with your loved one could be one of the most perfect date ideas you’ve had in years. Quiet moments can be a beautiful reminder that your love is incredibly deep and you can enjoy each other without extravagance. This article was written exclusively for Love What Matters by Kate Fann.

Prince Harry departed London 24 hours after arriving in the United Kingdom to see King Charles III amid the monarch’s cancer battle. The Duke of Sussex was seen traveling back to Heathrow airport on Wednesday‚ a day after he had a “brief” meeting with the King that lasted “45 minutes” after Buckingham Palace announced the King’s cancer diagnosis on Monday‚ The Sun reported. It was the first time the two met in person since the duke made the trip to the U.K. in September 2022 for his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral‚ the Daily Mail noted. The royal did make the trip back to London for the King’s coronation in May 2023‚ but it is believed the two never interacted‚ the outlet noted. Prince Harry is going to break the record for how little time a person can spend in the UK on a single trip 🤭 Already on his way home ✈️🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/IVqACHbuD8 — Julieth ❀ (@troubleshade) February 7‚ 2024 One royal source claimed the meeting was “brief” because the King was tired after undergoing a cancer treatment‚ but said that the monarch is “coping magnificently. If you didn’t know what was the matter‚ you wouldn’t have any idea that he had any condition at all.” A source close to the duke said he had “no plans” to meet with anyone else in his family‚ including his brother Prince William‚ amid their reportedly strained relationship following Harry’s initial decision to step down from his senior royal role with his wife Meghan Markle in 2020. It’s also believed he didn’t meet with the sister-in-law Kate Middleton‚ who’s recovering following abdominal surgery. “The Duke’s primary reason to travel to the UK is to visit his father‚” a source told Daily Mail. “If the opportunity were to arise to see the Prince of Wales then the Duke would have gladly accepted it.” On Monday‚ Buckingham Palace announced the King was diagnosed with cancer during his recent “hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer‚” the statement read‚ without providing further information. “His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments‚ during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.” “Throughout this period‚ His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual‚” the statement added. “The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention‚ which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.” “His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer‚” the statement concluded. The royal made the trip to London solo‚ leaving the Duchess of Sussex and their two kids‚ Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet‚ at home in Southern California. The King ascended to the throne in September 2022 following the death of his mother at 96. Related: Prince Harry Arrives In London Following King Charles’ Cancer Diagnosis

Denver is in the process of evicting about 800 migrant families from the city’s overcrowded shelters. Colorado’s capital is struggling to metabolize the more than 40‚000 illegal migrants who have arrived in the city in recent months. So far‚ the city has kicked out about 140 families from the temporary shelters‚ city officials said. About 660 more families are set to be evicted over the next few weeks. Starting this past Monday‚ migrant families can only stay in a shelter room for six weeks‚ Mayor Mike Johnston’s office announced last month. “We have filled every single hotel room that we have available in the city and county of Denver‚” Johnston‚ a Democrat‚ said at a town hall meeting last week. “Now we have the terrible decision that if we don’t start exiting folks‚ we will have 250 folks that will arrive today or the day after who don’t have anywhere to go at night‚” the mayor said. Last week‚ Johnston said his city is “very close” to a breaking point due to the migrant crisis. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Originally‚ the city did not want to limit how much time migrants could stay in shelters. In November‚ the city stopped evicting migrant families and welcomed some families back to shelters. However‚ a spokesperson for Johnston’s office explained that the migrant influx is “straining capacity” and that “over the past two months‚ Denver has seen a dramatic uptick in arrivals and is currently sheltering 4‚000 people.” Johnston said the city would likely need $100 million over the course of this year to pay for migrant costs such as housing‚ school‚ and health care. Meanwhile‚ city hospital Denver Health has about $10 million in unpaid medical bills from migrants. The hospital has requested more money from both Colorado and the federal government. The city’s public schools have received nearly 3‚000 new migrant children‚ hundreds of whom are coming in with little to no previous schooling. Also‚ more tent cities are cropping up in Denver‚ which already has a significant homeless problem — the homeless population spiked more than 30% last year. Denver has only 710‚000 residents‚ meaning the new migrants have increased the city’s population by more than 5%. The new arrivals now make up a more significant segment of the city’s population than they do in larger cities that have seen a recent migrant influx‚ such as New York City or Chicago. Denver says on the city’s website that it has helped more than 38‚000 migrants at a cost of more than $42 million. “This influx of migrants is straining capacity‚ and based on current projections‚ could force the city to cut as much as $180 million from its annual budget‚” Denver said in a press release.

When he was nominated to be the Assistant Secretary for Health three years ago‚ Richard Levine (who‚ in his 50s‚ began using the name Rachel Levine) was asked a series of questions by Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. Paul wanted to know why Levine‚ as a medical professional‚ wouldn’t reject the idea of mutilating the genitals of minors in the name of “gender affirming care.” Here’s how the conversation went: That’s just a portion of the whole exchange. In the full clip‚ Levine evades the question multiple times. He just repeats the same rehearsed answer: He says that he’s more than happy to stop by Paul’s office at some later date to explain the “complex” science behind mutilating children. They go back and forth until Paul finally has to give up. And then at the end of it‚ as you saw‚ Democratic Senator Patty Murray from Washington congratulates Levine on his “thoughtful and medical informed” answers to Paul. Ten years ago‚ this would’ve been a scene from a dark comedy sketch about a dystopia that’s just too far-fetched to imagine in real life. This should have been the moment that Levine was disqualified from ever holding public office‚ much less becoming a senior official in the Department of Health and Human Services. But Democrats and even some Republicans — including Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — didn’t see a problem with Levine’s answer. They voted to confirm Levine after hearing this. These are sitting U.S. senators who‚ evidently‚ have no problem with the fact that Levine supports the physical castration of children — even though he could present no evidence that it’s medically appropriate. WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show To be clear‚ Senator Paul was not misrepresenting Levine’s position in any way. This was not a “gotcha” question. Emails unearthed by Megan Brock show that in 2017‚ when he was the Secretary of Health in Pennsylvania‚ Levine went looking for data to justify so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors. Levine wrote to Nadia Dowshen‚ the co-founder of the gender clinic at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia‚ that he was seeking information concerning‚ “the possibility of gender confirmation surgery for young people under 18 years of age.” Levine added that‚ “This could include top surgery for trans young men and top and bottom surgery for trans young women. Is there any literature to support this protocol? Please let me know if you have any references.” In response‚ Dowshen wrote‚ “Hi Rachel‚ I’m not aware of existing literature but it is certainly happening. I think we’ve had more than 10 patients who have had chest surgery under 18 (as young as 15) and 1 bottom surgery (17).” Needless to say‚ after reading that response‚ Levine did not put an end to these surgeries in Pennsylvania‚ even when he was told there was no medical evidence to justify them. Instead‚ Levine continued to hide behind the consensus of various self-appointed medical experts‚ including the several medical associations that have endorsed this butchery. That’s what Levine did at the hearing with Rand Paul. And it’s what he’s done ever since he assumed office. A little over a year ago‚ for example‚ Levine commented on a viral clip featuring Jon Stewart and the attorney general of Arkansas. I’ll play a little bit of it to provide some context for what Levine said: Jon interviewed Leslie Rutledge‚ Arkansas Attorney General‚ about why her state banned gender-affirming care for minors – ignoring the guidelines of major medical organizations and taking the decision out of parents’ hands. Watch the full interview on @AppleTVPlus pic.twitter.com/4SoH3orWa6 — The Problem With Jon Stewart (@TheProblem) October 7‚ 2022 You can see in that clip why the “appeal to experts” is so effective. Even people who are on the right side of this issue‚ like the Arkansas attorney general‚ don’t know how to respond to it. The best she can do is say‚ “well‚ my experts disagree with your experts.” But of course that’s the wrong response. The right response is that you don’t need to be an “expert” in anything to know that mutilating the genitals of children is wrong. And if anyone claims to be an expert and defends that butchery‚ then they lose “expert status” immediately. It’s that simple. But for some reason‚ many on the Right can’t bring themselves to say that‚ even as the “experts” lie to them about pretty much everything — from COVID to foreign affairs to climate change and even to the mutilation of children. In any event‚ Levine saw that clip‚ and decided it was yet another opportunity to promote these all-knowing medical associations and experts. Here’s what Levine wrote on Twitter: “Accredited medical professional groups agree that gender-affirming care is medically necessary‚ safe‚ and effective for trans and non-binary youth. States should translate this knowledge into more compassionate policies that protect rather than undermine youth mental health.” Accredited medical professional groups agree that gender-affirming care is medically necessary‚ safe‚ and effective for trans and non-binary youth. States should translate this knowledge into more compassionate policies that protect rather than undermine youth mental health. https://t.co/FCgy88o47x — ADM Rachel Levine (@HHS_ASH) October 12‚ 2022 This is a bluff that Levine has made over and over again‚ throughout his career. He repeatedly states that there’s a vast body of “knowledge” that justifies these surgeries and procedures. But this time‚ after that tweet‚ someone decided to call Levine out on it. A nonprofit watchdog group called “Protect the Public’s Trust‚” or PPT‚ filed a Freedom of Information Act request in response to Levine’s tweet. The request sought “records of scientific evidence‚ studies‚ and/or data to support the Assistant Secretary’s claim that ‘gender-affirming care is medically necessary‚ safe‚ and effective for trans and non-binary youth‚’” as well as “records of surveys of medical professionals regarding the value and importance of ‘gender-affirming care’ for minor children.” This week‚ more than a year after Levine’s tweet‚ the results are in. We finally have access to this data that Levine promised to show Rand Paul in his office‚ and which he talks about constantly. In response to the Freedom of Information Act Request‚ HHS produced a grand total of just one document. And it’s not a long‚ well-researched study that proves convincingly why we need to mutilate children. Instead‚ it’s a two-page brochure called “Gender-Affirming Care and Young People.” This is all they could produce a year later to support their position. And the brochure itself isn’t exactly the most compelling document. The brochure states‚ as a matter of fact‚ that puberty blockers are always reversible. But that’s not true. As even the New York Times reported recently‚ “A transgender adolescent in Sweden who took the drugs from age 11 to 14 with no bone scans until the last year of treatment developed osteoporosis and sustained a compression fracture in his spine‚ an X-ray showed in 2021. … ‘The patient now suffers from continued back pain‚’ medical records note‚ describing a ‘permanent disability’ caused by the blockers.” And that’s not even getting into potential issues with fertility. There are documented cases in medical literature of these drugs having permanent effects‚ and they’ve only been in use for a few years. So the claim in the brochure‚ which has no citation‚ is completely false. As more and more children are put on these “puberty blockers‚” and as time passes‚ that will be obvious to everyone. But the brochure provided by the Biden administration doesn’t stop there. It also claims that‚ “research demonstrates that gender-affirming care improves the mental health and overall well-being of gender-diverse children.” And as evidence of that claim‚ the brochure cites one study in a footnote. This single study‚ The Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak reported yesterday‚ supposedly “showed that transgender-identifying young people were slightly less suicidal when receiving treatment.” Specifically‚ the researchers say that they found in a survey group that 51% of trans-identifying young people who were receiving cross-sex hormones were suicidal‚ compared to 62% who weren’t receiving hormones but wanted them. But even the authors of this study admit that it doesn’t prove anything about causation. They write‚ “causation cannot be inferred due to the study’s cross-sectional design. It is possible that those who historically have higher rates of depression and suicidal thoughts and behaviors are also less able to seek or obtain [cross-sex hormones].” This also says absolutely nothing about the long term psychological effects of this “treatment.” They offer no evidence‚ no research‚ on that question. None at all. This is the sum total of the evidence that the Biden administration was able to present to justify the castration of children. It’s a two-page pamphlet that links to a study from three years ago‚ in which the authors admit that their study doesn’t even mean anything. This is definitive proof — as if we needed it — that the Biden administration and the medical establishment‚ along with the entire American Left‚ jumped on board the “gender affirming care” racket without any solid evidentiary basis for doing so. That is a major problem‚ obviously‚ because they are harming children in horrific‚ unthinkable ways. But also because the burden of proof‚ for the people in favor of child castration‚ is especially high. Like I’ve explained many times‚ the burden of proof is on the people who came along claiming that we can turn boys into girls and vice versa. As they are the ones making an extraordinary claim that contradicts what everyone in the history of the world has always known to be true‚ they needed to have extraordinary evidence to support their position. Instead they had no evidence at all. Nothing.  Yet they were believed automatically‚ while the sane side was required to produce evidence refuting them. Suddenly the burden of proof was on us to prove that you shouldn’t mutilate and castrate children. Of course‚ we can prove our case a million times over‚ and we have‚ but the game was rigged against us from the start. The pro-child castraters wanted documented research showing the actual real world harm of these procedures on kids. But obviously we couldn’t immediately provide very much of that because we didn’t yet have real world data showing the harm that these drugs would do to kids‚ for the simple reason that nobody had ever done this to kids before. So they turned a whole generation of kids into lab rats. The kids themselves would become the data. The only way to explain how anyone fell for this scam is that trans activists are good at one thing‚ which is emotional manipulation. They perfected the art of emotional blackmail to the point that weak people have allowed this to go on for the better part of a decade. But the ruse isn’t working anymore. Now people are asking to see the evidence‚ and there isn’t any. All trans activists can do is screech as loudly as they can about “genocide‚” even though no one’s buying it anymore. We saw this phenomenon play out to a comical degree this week in Florida‚ which is preparing to pass a bill that would prevent people from changing their gender on their driver’s license. Watch how the completely calm and rational local trans activists and concerned citizens responded to this legislation: WATCH: Activists outraged over Florida bill that requires biological sex on drivers licenses "The only thing that this period of Florida history will be remembered for is the trail of body bags left behind." pic.twitter.com/uo5595HYjC — Florida’s Voice (@FLVoiceNews) February 5‚ 2024 No matter what the proposal is — whether it’s mutilating the genitals of children‚ or changing the gender on their driver’s license — the response is always the same. They claim you’re leaving a “trail of dead bodies” if you dare to disagree with their delusions. Trans activists wield their emotional fragility like a bludgeon. We see it constantly‚ which leads to the conclusion that one of two things is possible. Either it’s an act and they’re really just manipulative liars and therefore shouldn’t be taken seriously‚ or they actually are this insanely unstable and weak and immature and therefore shouldn’t be taken seriously. Whichever is the case‚ or if it’s a combination of the two‚ the conclusion is the same: we cannot take these people seriously. And we never should have.

A conservative watchdog group unveiled a report listing 14 recommendations for securing voting ahead of a critical 2024 election cycle‚ including cracking down on foreign funding of elections. Honest Elections Project Executive Director Jason Snead told The Daily Wire that several red states had made strides since 2020 in improving election integrity‚ but there were still problems to address‚ including how foreign nationals can pour money into state-wide ballot races. “If you are a voter in a red state‚ the odds are your laws are significantly better than they were in 2020‚” Snead said. “There’s a lot of momentum on the Right for improving elections‚ for taking the slack out of voting laws.” One of the key recommendations highlighted in the report is that foreign money can go toward state ballot measures that have far-reaching policy ramifications. “Federal and state laws bar candidates and campaigns from receiving foreign donations‚ but these laws generally do not apply to ballot measures. Left-wing groups like the 1630 Fund routinely pour tens of millions into ballot measure campaigns while simultaneously accepting substantial donations from foreign nationals such as Hansjörg Wyss‚” the report said. As previously reported‚ Wyss nonprofits‚ including the Wyss Foundation and the Berger Fund‚ have spent $475 million influencing U.S. politics. “The Left has railed against foreign influence and yet at the same time they got themselves addicted to foreign money‚ and now they are using it to rewrite election laws in very fundamental and highly partisan ways‚” Snead told The Daily Wire. Snead praised an effort by Republicans in Ohio to ban foreign money from being used in state ballot initiatives. The lawmakers pointed to dark money funding for an initiative to put abortion into the state constitution‚ some of which may have come from Wyss. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Snead also warned about the push for ranked-choice voting to replace partisan primary elections and for it to be used in general elections. The report said that ranked-choice voting “makes it harder to vote‚ harder to understand the results of elections‚ and harder to trust the voting process.” “There is a concerted national campaign being pushed right by some liberal megadonors to essentially reinvent the electoral system‚” Snead said‚ adding that ranked-choice voting was “designed to harm conservatives” and push “politics to the Left.” Several conservative states‚ like Missouri‚ Idaho‚ and Montana are all set to vote on or consider votes on adopting a ranked-choice voting system in November.

A math and science school in Illinois runs an annual race-based retreat open only to black and “Latinx” students‚ according to a civil rights complaint filed to the Department of Education on Wednesday by a parent’s rights group. Parents Defending Education filed the complaint against the Illinois Math and Science Academy with the Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights over racially focused programs at the school centering around the Brotherhood Sister Circle (BHSC)‚ a club that appears to only be open for black and Latino students. The so-called “affinity” club has an annual retreat only open for students who are black or “Latinx‚” according to a complaint shared with The Daily Wire.  “PDE and its members oppose discrimination on the basis of race and political indoctrination in America’s schools‚” the complaint says. “Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy is offering affinity group programming to some that is not offered to all. Admittance into the Brotherhood Sister Circle affinity group is solely based on individual’s race and sex. Specifically‚ the group is open only to ‘Black’ and ‘Latinx’ individuals and certain events are further divided based on the individual’s sex.” The complaint comes as schools across the country have faced scrutiny over emphasizing racial and sexual identity as opposed to education. A report last year showed that there were 53 schools in Illinois where there were zero students proficient in math. “The Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy magnet school gives preferential treatment to students solely based on race and sex‚” Caroline Moore‚ vice president of PDE‚ told The Daily Wire. “The Brotherhood and Sisterhood Circle affinity group has a hard and fast rule that specifically forbids white male students.” READ MORE: More Than 30 Illinois Public Schools Have No Students Proficient In Math Or Reading The information on the affinity club and the retreat put on by the Illinois Math and Science Academy‚ an advanced public school in Aurora catering to about 650 students in grades 10-12‚ was obtained by PDE through public information requests. The school defended its program‚ saying it believes “in creating opportunities for students to celebrate their culture and discuss issues that reflect their identities.” “We are happy to address any questions with the Office for Civil Rights should they wish to inquire further about our student club activities‚” the school’s public affairs officer Tami Armstrong told The Daily Wire. The complaint says that the school is violating the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act‚ which says federal funding cannot go toward racially discriminatory programming. According to the school‚ the program is intended to give “black and Latinx students an opportunity to celebrate and enhance their strengths‚ creativity‚ intelligence‚ promote networking‚ community involvement‚ financial literacy‚ resources‚ and academic success.” The club has a retreat every year‚ put on with the help of the school’s Coordinator of Diversity‚ Equity‚ and Inclusion‚ that is for “Black and Latinx students to engage in meaningful conversations‚ fun activities‚ and meet alumni‚” according to a flier for the retreat referenced in the complaint. Alumni who are black and Latino are also encouraged to register for the retreat. Flier: Parents Defending Education. In emails preparing for the retreat‚ school staff requested the contact information of black and Latino students while another requested that only a black or “Latinx” photographer be allowed to work the event.  “I would ask for Black/Latinx photographers so that pictures can be taken throughout the day‚” the school’s DEI director requested in an email in March 2022 before the retreat.   Parents Defending Education PDE’s Moore said the request reveals “deep-seated hate” from organizers. “The group even prohibited a white male yearbook staff member from taking their annual affinity group photograph‚” Moore said. “This shows deep-seated hate towards a specific demographic and cannot be tolerated.” At the retreat one year‚ there were breakout sessions focused on “men of color” and “women of color.” Another session was on “Black and Latinx Emotional Social Well-being in a Radicalized Society.”  “By intentionally separating students based on the basis of skin color and gender for educational programming‚ this unlawful practice perpetuates and condones discrimination in one of the state’s leading STEM institutions. This will have a long-term impact on the institution‚ as well as the individuals who inhabit it‚” the complaint says.
