I saw this at another blog, and the discussion was that Democrats need to take back ‘ Parent’s Rights’ from the GOP.

@Kay: I think we need to take back the “Parents’ Rights” narrative entirely and make it our own.
We believe in Parents’ Rights:
• To have our daughters (and Transgender sons) have full autonomy and control of their bodies.
• To give our Transgender kids the gender-affirming care they need for their health and well-being, without interference from the government.
• To have our LGBTQ kids treated with dignity and respect in schools.
• To have our children see themselves represented in the history curricula in our classrooms (Black, Native/Indigenous, Latinx, LGBTQ, history etc.)
• To have all children live without the fear of school shootings.
• To have all children be able study without the distraction of an empty stomach.
BRAVO!!
ABSOLUTELY.
These are the Parent’s Rights that Democrats need to talk about in 2024.

My Snarky Snippets Bucket Overflows | Filosofa’s Word
More than eight million children will be left out of a new federal food assistance program for needy families this summer because they live in one of the 15 states, all led by Republican governors, that refuse to participate. Why are those 15 governors turning down federal funds that would help feed hungry children? Here are a few of their excuses …
- Mississippi governor, Tate Reeves, says that he rejects “attempts to expand the welfare state.”
- Nebraska governor, Jim Pillen, said “I don’t believe in welfare.”
- Iowa governor, Kim Reynolds, claims “an E.B.T. card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.”
Our very own Marie Antoinette who famously did not actually say, “Let them eat cake”. I would really like to see these governors live for one month on naught but a minimum wage paycheck!…

Surge in Cybercrimes – Kaushal Kishore

India, experiencing phenomenal growth in the fintech sector, with an ever-expanding base and volume of tech-based transactions and payments, has become a prime target for cyberattacks, constituting 13.7% of all incidents. The US follows at 9.6%, Indonesia at 9.3%, and China at 4.5%.
Recent cybercrime data reveals a national rate of 129 incidents per lakh citizens, with Delhi leading at 755 cases per lakh in 2023, surpassing all other states and union territories. Chandigarh secured the second spot with 432 cases, while Haryana and Telangana reported 381 and 261 cases per lakh, respectively.
Since its launch in August 2019, the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal has received over 3.26 million complaints, revealing a staggering loss of Rs 10,300 crore to frauds and scams. Last year, a mere 12% of the defrauded funds were successfully recovered…
What brings us together? – Silent Songs of Sonsnow
“Human beings are social animals. What brings us together is love and affection—anger drives us apart. Just as we employ physical hygiene to protect our health, we need emotional hygiene, the means to tackle our destructive emotions, if we are to achieve peace of mind.”

Conditions for genuine happiness – Silent Songs of Sonsnow
“Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness.”

Jam Pockets | snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: Jam Pockets! Here’s a versatile quick recipe that makes a wonderful dessert, breakfast pastry, or afternoon snack. Prepared pie crusts or pizza dough from the dairy case in the supermarket can be used. Plus, any flavor of fruit jam will complement the smooth creamy filing inside. Although I didn’t add them here, I think sliced almonds would make a nice addition as well. The buttery crust serves as a nice “pocket” for the burst of fruity sweetness inside. Try as I might, it’s a challenge to stop at just one. Perhaps I won’t.
JAM POCKETS
Ingredients:
1 refrigerated pie crust, softened as directed on package
4 ounces Neufchâtel cheese, softened
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup four-fruit jam
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup sugar
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out refrigerated pie crust to 1/4-inch. Cut into twelve 3-inch rounds. Set aside. In a bowl, combine Neufchâtel cheese, almond extract, and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth. Drop a teaspoon of cheese mixture into the center of each round. Top with a dollop of fruit jam. Brush the inside edges with beaten egg; fold in half. Crimp edges with a fork to seal. Brush top and bottom with more egg wash; dust both sides with sugar. Pierce the top of each pocket. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat steps for remaining jam pockets. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheet. Cool slightly. Serve the reserve creamed cheese mixture as a dipping sauce.
