What alternatives are available to those disillusioned with Boy Scouts of America? Fortunately, there are a number of similar programs that still adhere to traditional values.

This article provides a synopsis of several programs, listed in alphabetical order, that rival the Scouts along with links to the home page of each program.

What madness is this? – The Unfrozen Caveman Nominee of the Vote-By-Mail Party cast his vote in his home state’s primary elections Monday morning, and did it live and in person. Or at least as live as in-person as Joe Biden gets. So, tell us again why it’s supposedly unsafe for the rest of us to go vote in person this November? And if it’s unsafe for us to vote in person, why is it not unsafe for us to go to the grocery store, or take our clothes to the cleaners, or visit the local hardware store like we...

The letter (below) is a response from Oxford University to black students attending as Rhodes Scholars who demand the university remove the statue of Oxford Benefactor, Cecil Rhodes. Interestingly, Chris Patten (Lord Patten of Barnes), The Chancellor of Oxford University, was on the Today Programme on BBC Radio 4 on precisely the same topic. The Daily Telegraph headline yesterday was "Oxford will not rewrite history”. Lord Patten commented: “Education is not indoctrination. Our history is not a blank page on which we can write our own version of what it should have been according to our contemporary views and prejudice.”...

On the one hand, the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter is the arguably the most lethal and versatile aircraft of the modern era. Three unique variants have been produced so that the aircraft can fit the needs of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and United States Marine Corps.

RUSH: Again I say, folks, it’s only 19 years ago, 19 years ago that everybody in this country was running around proudly waving flags. Everybody, including athletes, were carrying flags around the bases in the Major League Baseball playoffs. Well, not playoffs, they hadn’t started yet, but late season. NFL players were proudly carrying the flag to support the first responders of 9/11, 19 years ago. First responders, the police, sheriff deputies, were the heroes in this country. They were loved and adored and respected. Everybody was driving around this country, it seemed, with the American flag streaming outside car...

Called Trump a climate arsonist, said some people are worried this is Doomsday. Claims satellite images can see smoke from a million miles away (is this possible). Claims Trump is withholding aid for CA wildfires.

I wonder if getting caught passed out in your own vomit, in a hotel room with a male prostitute also passed out, with drugs all over the place along with blood and feces on the bed had anything to do with this announcement....Florida dodged a real bullet....

Lauren Boebert pulled off a stunning primary victory after defying government shutdown orders. But could she lose a GOP seat? .cms-textAlign-left{text-align:left;}.cms-textAlign-center{text-align:center;}.cms-textAlign-right{text-align:right;}.cms-magazineStyles-smallCaps{font-variant:small-caps;} CORTEZ, Colo. — A Glock on her hip and stilettos on her feet, Lauren Boebert stood behind a grocery store and waved as pickups, Harleys and Subarus flying “Trump 2020” banners and “thin blue line” American flags drove by. The procession calls itself the Montezuma County Patriots, a group of locals — fence menders, firefighters, retirees, unemployed dispatchers and others — that parades through town every weekend. This week, they steered their vehicles into a cracked asphalt parking lot...

Protesters poured onto the streets of Lancaster, Pennsylvania Sunday night calling for “justice” — for a man shot dead by police while charging at an officer with a knife. Body camera footage showed Ricardo Munoz, 27, brandishing a knife and wielding it over an officer’s head as cops responded to a domestic disturbance around 4:15 p.m. The blade-wielding Lancaster, Pennsylvania, man shot dead by police was previously busted in 2019 for knifing four people in the city, according to his lawyer and officials. It was not the first time he’s been accused of a knife attack. Protesters marched from the...

The South Bay native waved a white flag in an Instagram post Monday after her prior post depicting her experience shopping without a mask went viral, with many criticizing her choice to go against epidemiological recommendations and government mandates. In her latest lengthy post, Walsh Jennings apologized to those who she “upset so deeply”, thanked those who supported her, then began a defensive rant explaining why she decided to shirk rules intended to protect her and others from the coronavirus. “We should all carry on RESPECTFULLY...

Just before Jesus ascended to heaven, he instructed his disciples, “Behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). Jesus’ message was clear: “Wait on the Spirit!” Most of us need a lot of work when it comes to the discipline of waiting. The more we rush to accomplish things for God in our flesh, the more his power drains out of us. This happened in the Old Testament over and over again. Israel was always moving ahead of God, frustrating his...

"Stand firm therefore . . . having put on the breastplate of righteousness" (Eph. 6:14). True righteousness begins with a right relationship with God. A Roman soldier would often engage his enemy in hand- to-hand combat. At such times, the weapon of choice was the short sword, with which he sought to penetrate his opponent's vital organs. For his own protection he wore a molded metal breastplate that extended from the base of his neck to the top of his thighs. It helped deflect any attacks aimed at his heart and abdomen. The Roman breastplate has great symbolism in Paul's...
