🚨Spanberger names dozens of new appointees to Virginia college boards -- BUT THERE'S ALSO A SURPRISE!🚨 ✍️FIRST, A NOTE FROM VNV -- NOT CBS19 News: Numerous Gov. Youngkin-appointed college board members have been asked to resign. But others WERE reappointed, including Jennifer Wishon Gilbert, the wife of the former Va. House Speaker & one target of Democrat Va. Attorney General Jay "Two Bullets" Jones' infamous text messages. See the images below. 🚨From WCAV/CBS19 News: "The appointments come shortly after Spanberger removed John Rocovich from Virginia Tech’s Board of Visitors after 16 years of service for what she described as “misconduct.” Spanberger’s letter did not specify the details of the alleged violations, stating only that the findings provided “sufficient cause” for his removal. "The General Assembly is responsible for confirming all appointments, which typically occurs during the legislature’s regular session at the start of each year." MORE⤵️ cbs19news.com/news/state/spa…

🚨 MAN BUYS 80 PIZZA HUTS TO BRING BACK THE ICONIC VERSION AMERICA MISSED — AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR MINDS Tim Sparks, president of Daland Corporation, owns more than 80 Pizza Hut franchises across the country, and he’s now turning many of them back into the old-school Pizza Huts millions of Americans grew up with. While most restaurant chains keep replacing everything with self-checkout screens, gray walls, and sterile modern redesigns… Sparks is bringing back the version people actually remember: • red plastic cups • Pac-Man machines • packed salad bars • giant family booths • Tiffany-style lamps hanging over the tables And people are getting unexpectedly emotional over it. Some of these restored “classic” Pizza Huts are now becoming top-performing locations because customers say it doesn’t just feel like pizza anymore… It feels like stepping back into a completely different era of life. Sparks says the mission is bigger than nostalgia. He wants to rebuild places where families actually sit together again, put their phones down, and talk the way they used to. Now the internet is flooding the comments: • “This feels more human than modern restaurants” • “We didn’t realize how good we had it” • “This is what childhood felt like” • “Why does this make me emotional?” Some customers are reportedly driving HOURS just to eat inside one because they say modern restaurants lost the feeling that made people love them in the first place. Now people are asking: Did corporations deliberately turn restaurants into cold, forgettable spaces... because real human connection was never the priority anymore? 📹: CBS19

CBS19 reporting on the latest JAMA Pediatrics findings about screen time and child language development. Full segment on their channel: youtube.com/@CBS19

Too much screen time might be quietly delaying kids’ speech development — and the science is stacking up. A CBS19 report on a JAMA Pediatrics study highlights how screens replace real interaction: for every extra minute of screen time in toddlers, children hear fewer adult words, make fewer vocalizations, and get fewer back-and-forth conversations. That missing live talk is critical during the rapid language window in early years. Official guidance is clear — no screen exposure for kids under 18 months, and no more than one hour per day for ages 2–5. What really landed for me is how deceptively normal this has become. I’ve caught myself handing over a device during busy moments and later realizing those tiny interactions add up. It’s easy to default to screens, but the long-term cost to language and connection feels heavier the more you read the data. In the critical early brain development phase, real human conversation builds neural pathways that screens simply can’t replicate. Protecting that time could shape better communication skills, attention, and relationships down the line. Have you set any screen boundaries with young kids in your life, or is it something you’re rethinking?

Special Ed Teacher Accused of SA'ing Disabled Student. A 63-year-old special education teacher from Queen City, Texas, is behind bars after an anonymous tip sparked an investigation into allegations of misconduct involving a disabled person and students at his school. Jeffrey Parker, who taught special education at Pleasant Grove ISD was arrested this past Thursday in Cass County by Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, according to the Texarkana Police Department. He now faces one count of continuous sexual abuse of a disabled person and three counts of improper relationship between an educator and student. The probe kicked off after an anonymous tip reached Pleasant Grove ISD Police Chief Jake Klar on the previous Monday. Texarkana Police Detective Tabitha Smith took the lead on the investigation, gathered supporting evidence, and obtained arrest warrants, as confirmed across sources like CBS19. Parker had worked in the district since the 2019-2020 school year and held a state teaching certificate for special education dating back to 2014, details verified through public records. Pleasant Grove ISD officials acted quickly once they learned of the claims. The district removed Parker from campus immediately, stated he will not return, and is fully cooperating with law enforcement, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, and the Texas Education Agency. In a statement released to the media, the district emphasized that student safety and well-being remain the top priority and pledged ongoing support for affected students and families.

CBS19 News is saying both Swalwell and Toney Gonzales will retain taxpayer-funded benefits after leaving their positions in Congress. Apparently if a congressman serves a minimum amount of time -5 years- they will be eligible for a pension plan at age 62.
