I think we should expect very soon for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to pull completely pull out of the Boy Scouts of America program. I’m not sure what program will replace it for the Church. There are several great programs out there for young men and the LDS church does have the option to create its own program. We’ll see what unfolds. Some history on the situation:
“The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is deeply troubled by today’s vote by the Boy Scouts of America National Executive Board. In spite of a request to delay the vote, it was scheduled at a time in July when members of the Church’s governing councils are out of their offices and do not meet. When the leadership of the Church resumes its regular schedule of meetings in August, the century-long association with Scouting will need to be examined. The Church has always welcomed all boys to its Scouting units regardless of sexual orientation. However, the admission of openly gay leaders is inconsistent with the doctrines of the Church and what have traditionally been the values of the Boy Scouts of America.
As a global organization with members in 170 countries, the Church has long been evaluating the limitations that fully one-half of its youth face where Scouting is not available. Those worldwide needs combined with this vote by the BSA National Executive Board will be carefully reviewed by the leaders of the Church in the weeks ahead.”
The sense I get here is that the recent BSA vote to allow openly gay adults in as leaders is one that worries the LDS leaders and this ‘evaluation’ will lead to a severance of ties between the LDS church and BSA.
Citing the spokesperson for one gay rights group:
“[I]ncluding an exemption for troops sponsored by religious organizations undermines and diminishes the historic nature of today’s decision. Discrimination should have no place in the Boy Scouts, period.”
In other words, churches cannot be allowed to “discriminate” against gays.
In reply, Daniel Peterson wrote:
The war isn’t over. And it won’t be over until every knee bows in humble surrender and every tongue confesses that Love has triumphed. Under the new regime, pockets of resistance will be identified and wiped out.
Superbly stated. That’s exactly what’s happening here.

Houston’s debts are now bigger than Detroit’s.
According to one key measure of fiscal health, Houston’s situation is nearly as bad as that of Chicago, which is starting to collapse under its debt burdens.
and,
For example, New York has real pension debt of $182 billion, which would send anyone else running for the hills. But the city is so rich, that’s only triple NYC’s annual budget. It’s a burden, to be sure, but in the mad math of pensions, it’s just a hair behind Boston, which had the best situation of all 10 cities.
By comparison, the worst city on the list was Chicago, whose $72.2 billion in real pension debt was more than 10 times its annual revenue. Jacksonville was in second place, with pension debts equal to 730 percent of revenue, with Houston just behind at 710 percent.

Good morning Hamsters. Not a breath of air and 74, atmosphere clings like a cloak as the ground mist ascends. The dog days of August are on the doorstep.

Good for the LDS Church standing with principle on this. Will be interesting to see how many other Christian denominations or portions thereof follow principle and follow suit.

Have lost track of how many years Democrat Houston mayors have kicked the can down the road on the pension debacle, either by design or total stupidity. Wasn’t Mayor Parker city controller before becoming mayor? Isn’t the controller supposed to oversee city finances? Was she clueless and asleep all those years to have missed this disaster growing? She owns it now.

Houston has a history of electing overly ambitious, intelligence deficient kooks to the controller’s office since the electorate hasn’t the foggiest notion what that person is actually supposed to do.
Greanias and Castillo lost subsequent mayoral bids after their terms as controller ended, and Lloyd Kelley and Lalor burned out along the way. Some of the more eccentric behaviors of both spawned rumors that being controller of the city of Houston can drive you batty.
Lalor disappeared in a poof of credit card theft allegations in London after he did not file for re-election, and later resurfaced after being caught shoplifting a pea salad from a university commissary. Kelley, whose overwrought ambitions ran all the way to the White House, became the first modern controller to be beaten after only one term.

To be fair to Lance.
Cafeteria pea salad can be pretty good.

Dustin HoffmanKathy Whitmire was also a controller who expanded the pension deficit. When was the last time we had a R form mayor? -
Some time ago, I began leaving messages for Hubby on our bathroom mirror. Our work/sleep schedules made it difficult for us to communicate sometimes. He began writing little love notes back. We recently moved to another bedroom in our house (we’re empty nesters now, dammit) and the mirror there is teeny tiny, and the marker is still upstairs. I’ve missed my morning notes, even though Hubby will still occasionally find a piece of paper and leave a little sumpin-sumpin on the kitchen counter for me.
I’ve injured my back, and he’s been fetching and carrying for me. It was with a warm heart that I saw this morning that not only did he wash the pile of dishes for me, he also found the ring I had misplaced. And left it inside of a heart drawn on a piece of paper on the kitchen counter.

What a litany of incompetence. Just how does the city council aim to dig out from the pit they have helped sustain? Ditto for any mayoral candidates who served on councils past or ever walked past the controller’s office. As for Mayor Parker, her regime seems to be in collapse thanks to legal actions against it. So obviously she’s a prime Democrat/Socialist candidate for higher office. 🙁

Absolutely agree. 🙂

My hubs leaves a 3×5 card marked with Gone Out if he leaves before I am up. Our schedules are so mismatched since I retired that he puts that card on the kitchen counter every morning, but usually gets back and puts it away, while I’m still snoozing. Occasionally he returns but forgets the card. So if I see it, I don’t know if he is home or not. 🙂

This elderly gent of only 90 years on the planet gets himself dressed all nice and handsome – coat and tie, pressed shirt, etc and goes to a bar. He sees this hot young 70 year old woman and makes his way towards her. As he approaches he says ‘ Hey Sugar, do I come in here often?”

My back has been trying to go out for a couple of months now. One day it would be bother me a little, I’d either hang upside down, rest, stretch, whatever, and then I’d be okay. If money hadn’t been so tight, I would have gone to the chiropractor earlier, but all the rain really screwed with our cash flow, so I kept doing my at home treatments.. I managed to thwart it.
Until Sunday.

I saw the video. Heartbreaking and vomit-inducing all at the same time.

Climate fraud exposed for all to see.
The biggest component of this fraud is making up data. Almost half of all reported US temperature data is now fake. They fill in missing rural data with urban data to create the appearance of non-existent US warming.
In a court of law, these people would see jail time.

The Stonewall at the Top of the IRS
If the president doesn’t tell Commissioner Koskinen to go, then we in Congress should impeach him.When it was revealed in 2013 that the IRS had targeted conservative groups for exercising their First Amendment rights, President Obama correctly called the policy “inexcusable” and pledged accountability. He even fired the then-acting IRS commissioner because he said it was necessary to have “new leadership that can help restore confidence going forward.”
Unfortunately, Commissioner Koskinen, who took over in the wake of the IRS targeting scandal, has failed the American people by frustrating Congress’s attempts to ascertain the truth. A taxpayer would never get away with treating an IRS audit the way that IRS officials have treated the congressional investigation. Civil officers like Mr. Koskinen have historically been held to a higher standard than private citizens because they have fiduciary obligations to the public. The IRS and Mr. Koskinen have breached these basic fiduciary duties:
• Destruction of evidence. Lois Lerner, at the time the director of the IRS’s exempt-organizations unit, invoked the Fifth Amendment on May 22, 2013, when appearing before Congress; her refusal to testify put a premium on obtaining and reviewing her email communications. On the same day the IRS’s chief technology officer issued a preservation order that instructed IRS employees “not to destroy/wipe/reuse any of the existing backup tapes for email, or archiving of other information from IRS personal computers.” -

Fresh off the heels of the Center for Medical Progress releasing video of a former Planned Parenthood worker discussing organ harvesting is the possibly of a fourth video. This time it won’t be on the Internet, it will be in a Texas Senate committee. A spokesperson for Senator Charles Schwertner told The Texas Tribune state Attorney General investigators were the ones who were given the video.
and,
One amusing anecdote about the video. Planned Parenthood wanted to watch it and asked the Senate for it. The Senate told them to go to the AG’s office, which obviously isn’t going to show it. That’s pretty smart on the Texas GOP’s side. It means there’s the chance Planned Parenthood could be caught off guard on certain questions and not get the chance to give friendly interviews or release YouTube statements.

Last week, federal prosecutors announced that former Georgia deputy Nikki Autry would be indicted on charges of making false statements to a judge in order to obtain a warrant to raid a home in Habersham County. During that raid, one deputy blindly deployed a flash grenade that landed in a playpen, critically injuring a toddler.”
For this, I hope Nikki Autry rots in jail:
When a SWAT team executing that warrant found the front door blocked, one of the officers tossed a flash-bang grenade inside the residence. Once inside the home, the SWAT team realized a portable playpen had been blocking the door, and the flash-bang grenade had landed where a 19-month-old was sleeping, eventually exploding on the child’s pillow.
The toddler spent weeks in a burn unit in a medically induced coma . . .

Dear neighbors for 25 years are moving today to their Colorado Springs area retirement home they’ve had ready for maybe 5 years and used for vacations in the meantime. Trying to imagine sitting on their back porch with morning coffee and gazing at Pike’s Peak in the distance. Wow.
We’re taking care of their two horses for about a week until the long-distance horse transport company can pick them up and deliver them to their new home. Got all the travel documents ready and all the contact numbers.
Their home has been on the market for two months or so and had several folks express interest but no contract. The housing market is very different this summer than it was last summer, particularly places suitable for horses. And so far everyone expressing interest does not have horses. We wonder who we will be sharing our fence with eventually.

It’s always sad when good neighbors move away. I’m assuming trading in your proximity for that of the mountains makes sense for them.
For me, I’d have to think loooonnng and hard! 😉

#45 – MsAdee here’s to wishing your former neighbors all the best!
there’s no denying the gorgeous vistas in Co. Springs – the trade off (aint there always at least one?)…….is the WIND. Colorado Springs is exceptionally windy most all year ’round – and ANYTHING standing still more than a minute gets dusty.
And your friends need to triple their ‘normal’ water intake in that dry, high desert climate

Well—
It seems that it is on.
Tea party champion Rep. Mark Meadows filed a motion Tuesday to oust House Speaker John A. Boehner from his leadership post, escalating the feud between a faction of conservative lawmakers and the Republican leadership.
Mr. Meadows, North Carolina Republican, filed a motion to “vacate the chair,” which could force a no-confidence vote by the full chamber and result in the removal of Mr. Boehner as speaker.
-
I listened to Mr Meadows being interviewed by Mark Levin. What guts this man has. He sounds very humble and determined, sort of reminds me of Louie Gohmert.
-
mharper #54;
I listened to that interview. Rep. Meadows is a very brave person and deserves the support of We the People.
-
Meadows filed the motion a day before the House is set to take its final votes before leaving on a six-week summer recess. While a motion to vacate can be highly privileged under House rules if made on the floor, Meadows instead filed the motion as a resolution, meaning it will be sent to committee rather than the floor.
The resolution accuses Boehner of having “endeavored to consolidate power and centralize decision-making” and using “the power of the office to punish Members who vote according to their conscience instead of the will of the Speaker,” among other offenses.
He indicated Tuesday that he will not seek a vote before the recess — and he may not seek a vote after the recess, he said.
“What I’m hopeful for is this provides perhaps the impetus to have a discussion, a family discussion, where we can start talking about how we can make sure that every voice, every vote matters, and really about representing the American people,” he said. “Ultimately what I want to is to make sure everyone is treated fairly.”

Boehner needs to be GONE – period – end of story!
