The Boys Scouts of America has reached a $850billion settlement with more than 60,000 men whose claims of child sex abuse by volunteers and troop leaders span six decades. The settlement was disclosed in a Thursday filing with the US Bankruptcy Court in Delaware—more than a year after the 110-year-old non-profit valued at over $1billion filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors in the face of more than 275 abuse lawsuits and 1,400 potential claims.(Snip) In Thursday's filing, BSA said its proposal has support from representatives for about 60,000 abuse survivors and provides a framework for a global resolution of abuse claims.

The conservative Presbyterian Church in America voted Thursday to disqualify all gay men from serving in its ministry. The 1,400-400 vote to change its governing document came at the denomination’s 48th General Assembly, held this week in St. Louis. The rule change, known as “Overture 23,” will go to local church bodies known as “presbyteries” for a vote before a second round of convention balloting next year that would place the language in the denomination’s “Book of Church Order,” which governs PCA practice.(Snip)The two votes are part of a continuing trend in the PCA, which has almost 400,000 members in the U.S., to uphold biblical views
A statue of the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus outside a Downtown Jersey City Catholic church was vandalized and stolen Thursday night. Church officials said surveillance cameras recorded the vandalism and the Jersey City police have already been notified. “The gentleman was seen grabbing a brick and then throwing it at the statue,” said Nicholas Grillo, the church’s music director. “He broke it, then packed all the damage up and took it away.”(Snip) Just two weeks ago, a larger Virgin Mary statue, located on the opposite side of the building, was broken when someone tried to rip the statue off its pedestal.

President Biden couldn’t even draw a big in-person crowd at a teachers’ union convention on Friday evening, telling a mostly empty hall in Washington that teachers deserve a pay raise. Only about 50 members of leadership and staff of the National Education Association were in the cavernous hall at the Washington Convention Center when Mr. Biden and first lady Jill Biden, an educator with close ties to the NEA, took the stage. “Hello, everyone,” Mr. Biden said to laughter.(Snip)“She spoke to a largely empty hall, talking about the dedication of teachers to keeping students safe this past year, and for teaching remotely,” according to the pool report.
In a tweet that didn’t take long to gather massive social media steam, Kirstie Alley, Hollywood’s female braveheart—brave, ‘cause she’s openly conservative—wrote: “People are becoming so ‘open minded’ that” soon enough “they will support pedophilia” as simple shows of love to children.
That ain’t hyperbole.That’s where the left indeed is headed. More from her tweet: “Down the road they will support pediphilia [sic] as people ‘just loving children.’(Snip)“Drag Queen Story Hour is just what it sounds like—drag queens reading stories to children in libraries, schools and bookstores,” the site states. “DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids
Marvel Comics is celebrating Independence Day by having the iconic hero Captain America tell readers that the American dream “isn’t real.”
The first issue of “The United States of Captain America” by writer Christopher Cantwell sees Steve Rogers, the famous red, white and blue “Avenger,” lament the nation’s “white picket fence fallacy.”(Snip) The character then laments another marketed version of America that doesn’t really exist— one with “white picket fences.” Instead, the character discusses an America that “doesn’t get along nicely with reality. Other cultures. Immigrants. The poor.” “We’re at our best when we keep no one out,” the title character says at one point.

The U.S. Supreme Court announced Friday it would not take up a case over LGBT rights and religious liberty when it comes to same-sex weddings in a dispute brought by a florist. The high court declined to hear Barronelle Stutzman’s case after she lost at the Washington Supreme Court when the state attorney general sued her for not providing flowers from her flower shop, Arlene’s Flowers, for a same-sex wedding. The American Civil Liberties Union also filed a lawsuit against the florist on behalf of the couple.

New York City voters might not relish seeing mayoral wannabes stuff their faces with hot dogs, but after the way the Board of Elections botched the initial ranked-choice vote counting, maybe it’s not such a bad idea.
With that in mind, the professional eating league that hosts the Nathan’s Famous Coney Island hot dog eating contest joked Thursday that the City Hall hopefuls scarf down wieners and buns on July 4, in a face-off that would determine the Democratic primary’s winner.(Snip) All candidates who have not conceded in the race—Eric Adams, Kathryn Garcia and Maya Wiley—are invited to a three-minute, all-you-can-eat

The U.S. economy will roar to life for the rest of this year and remain supercharged through 2022, the Congressional Budget Office said Thursday, though the analysts also warned Americans to expect inflation to rise “sharply” for several months.(Snip) The government will borrow 44 cents of every dollar it spends this year, collecting just $3.8 trillion in taxes and fees while paying out $6.8 trillion. Debt will continue to be a problem, with Uncle Sam’s tab for public debt reaching $23 trillion. That will be larger than the entire country’s GDP, which will be $22.4 trillion. By 2030, the national debt will be nearly $34 trillion.

“It’s a whisper campaign designed to sabotage her,” Biden’s senior adviser Cedric Richmond said, admitting Friday to the Hill the infighting is real.

New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed Friday the rule barring marijuana use during the Olympic races was an "instrument of racist and colonial policy."

The athlete - who insisted that the National Anthem is racist - posted tweets mocking about Chinese, Mexican and white people.
Posts also include ill-judged jokes about rape, suggestions she would stomp on a child, as well as using the word 'retarded', widely seen as being offensive and disrespectful.

He used to be commander in chief, but former President Obama says the "top dog" in his household is definitely his wife. "I'm generally the brunt of every joke in my household," Obama said of life with wife Michelle and the couple's two adult daughters, in a Thursday interview on Dax Shepard and Monica Padman's Spotify podcast, "Armchair Expert."

The National Education Association (NEA) adopted a measure designed to thwart the ongoing campaign against so-called "anti-racist" education, which critics have described as a form of neo-racism.
"NEA will research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work and/or use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators to utilize when they are attacked," the measure reads on NEA's website.

The White House dove into damage control this week after reports of dysfunction and infighting in Vice President Kamala Harris' office, with the administration trying to stop a drama-filled narrative from taking hold, according to five people who spoke to CNN about the dynamics within Harris' office. Two people close to Harris' team said some individuals inside the vice president's office are frustrated with what they see as a dysfunctional operation that has been at times waylaid by internal conflict. Some of that ire is directed squarely at Harris' chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, those people said. Another source close

A former New York administrative judge resigned and apologized Friday over a Halloween costume he wore in 1988 of “a well-known public figure of color,” according to a press release.
Former administrative judge Craig Doran said he resigned as administrative judge for the Rochester region when a photo from a Halloween party reportedly was circulated. The statement didn’t say who Doran dressed up as.
“I did not comprehend at the time the hurtful nature of my actions,” Doran said in a statement. “I know now that an act of this nature is considered to be racist.
