Boys Scouts Have Muslim Troops — Who Don’t Pledge Allegiance to America Feb 20, 2020

Show notes

The organization once known as the Boy Scouts of America just filed for bankruptcy in court, but some would say it became morally and philosophically bankrupt quite a while back.

Some years ago it allowed openly homosexual boys in its ranks, then openly homosexual adult leaders; next came “transgender” kids and girls and the removal of “boy” from its name (it’s now technically SCOUTS BSA). Interestingly, though, most of these changes probably wouldn’t sit well with another scouting innovation: all-Muslim troops who pray to Allah five times daily and don’t pledge allegiance to our nation.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders pulled in a Trump-like crowd in Washington state yesterday, and his numbers in the Real Clear Politics polling average of voters show why.

He has surpassed competitor Joe Biden, and now leads the former vice president in the race for the Democrat presidential nomination by double-digits, a remarkable turn given that Biden was the clear voter favorite for more than a year in more than 200 polls.

Decades of Sexual Abuse Catch Up to the Boy Scouts Feb 19, 2020

Show notes

The effective end of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) as a positive influence in the lives of young men appears inevitable, as the 110-year-old organization filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection February 11 in the face of an overwhelming number of lawsuits filed by former Boy Scouts and their families claiming sexual abuse at the hands of predatory scout leaders.

Bernie and Bloomie: Is the Democrat Nomination Battle Now a Two-man Race? Feb 19, 2020

Show notes

In this rancorous campaign season, there’s one thing both the Right and Left now agree on: Michael Bloomberg is trying to buy the presidency.

He may be succeeding, too. Having already spent approximately $400 million dollars on a campaign that’s thus far as short as his stature (he announced just three months ago), Bloomberg has vaulted to second place in a new national poll. This said, socialism appears to sell as well as money buys, as the poll also shows Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) leading the field by a significant margin, despite being outspent by Bloomberg approximately nine to one.

Oklahoma Seeks to Revoke Licenses of Abortionists Feb 18, 2020

Show notes

A bill moving through the legislature in Oklahoma would fine and revoke the medical license of any “doctor” who murders an unborn child by perpetrating an abortion. Some pro-life activists in the legislature and beyond, though, are concerned that the bill does not go far enough, arguing that murdering an innocent pre-born baby ought to be treated as a homicide with serious penalties rather than a mere slap on the wrist.

Farming Does Not Take Much Smarts, According to Bloomberg Feb 18, 2020

Show notes

In 1896, in his famous “Cross of Gold” speech at the Democratic National Convention, William Jennings Bryan said of those who considered the cities more important than the farms, “Burn down your cities, and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again, as if by magic. But destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country.”
