The Boy Scouts are causing controversy with their decision to rebrand, all in the name of "inclusivity." On Wednesday, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) announced that the organization will officially change its name to "Scouting America." The BSA explained that this change reflects "the organization's ongoing commitment to welcome every youth and family in America to experience the benefits of Scouting."
Miguel Cardona likes to brag about his two and half decades of experience, but on Tuesday, it was the Education secretary who got schooled. Barely two minutes into the House hearing, Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), had already called for the Biden official's resignation and declared, "If I were to grade your time as secretary, I would give you an F." And that was probably kind, considering the reviews that followed on everything from the student loan bailouts to the anti-Semitic riots on college campuses.
Despite breathless denunciations (and more measured criticisms) to the contrary, the anti-Semitism bill sitting before Congress would not create "a new definition of anti-Semitism," Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said on "Washington Watch" Monday. In fact, the bill contains "identical language" to an executive order issued by former President Donald Trump (R) on December 11, 2019, he added. "There was no dust-up in 2019."
"Dog bites man" is not a story. But, "politician shoots dog," is. According to her autobiographical memoir released Tuesday, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R) shot her family's 14-month-old dog because it was "untrainable." Then she went on national television to not only defend her decision, but to declare that President Joe Biden should shoot his dog, too.
In light of recent news that Democrat mega-donors are bankrolling pro-Palestine protests and encampments on college and university campuses, one expert is warning that this is a case of the Left manipulating students.
On Tuesday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began advancing into Rafah, the last remaining stronghold of the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza, gaining operational control of the Rafah Crossing on the Gazan side in a "precise counterterrorism operation," according to an IDF statement. The operation comes at an extremely fraught time for the Jewish state, as reports emerge about a disputed ceasefire agreement by Hamas, the Biden administration withholding vital munition shipments to aid Israel's fight for survival, and the deaths of four IDF soldiers at the hands of terrorist mortar fire.
