‘Dead Men Tell No Tales’ and Other Super Bowl LI Observations

The teaser for Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” was first seen during last night’s Super Bowl. We can only hope the movie is as good as it looks. BTW. Congrats to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots for their win, and to the Atlanta Falcons for a great game, and to Lady Gaga for keeping her mouth shut except to sing, and to President Donald Trump for predicting the win.  8 points, Mr. President. Huuuge!!  And to 84Lumber, let me add my prediction.  You won’t be getting any of the contracts for building “The Wall” on our Mexican Border any time soon.

Boy Scouts Offer New TransGender Merit Badge

CNN Reports that, “Boy Scouts open membership to transgender boys“.  Coincidentally, the Boy Scouts began offering a new Merit Badge as part of this announcement.  The requirements to qualify for the new badge have not yet been fully disclosed.

The ‘Clip and Tuck-It’  Badge

The Boy Scouts of America says it will begin accepting members based on their gender identity, opening the door for transgender boys to join.

Under the new policy, which takes effect immediately, membership in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts will be based on the gender indicated on an application.

Previously, the organization relied on an individual’s birth certificate to determine eligibility for its single-gender programs.
