Over the years, it’s become affectionately known as MACtion.It’s perfect.Sadly, we don’t have a lot of MACtion Tuesdays left, folks. The regular season is winding down. It’s Nov. 11. That means we have roughly three weeks left.BOSTON COLLEGE SCORES ON BIZARRE ‘RING-AROUND-THE-ROSIE’ HOMAGE TO ‘THE LONGEST YARD’ We have to cherish these weekday football games. They’re a blessing each and every year, and if you blink, you miss them.

Scouting America, formerly the Boy Scouts, has introduced a new merit badge on military service designed to connect scouts with the history of the U.S. armed forces and familiarize them with those who have served.  The Military Service and Veterans merit badge, rolled out on Veterans Day, has been in the works for months, first proposed by former Secretary of State and Eagle Scout Rex Tillerson, according to Scouting America officials.  The lengthy requirements were crafted with input from military personnel and veterans.  “The Military Service merit badge gives Scouts a meaningful way to learn about the men and women who serve our country and the sacrifices their families make,” Michael Ramsey, Scouting America’s chief spokesman, said in a statement. “This badge will help Scouts understand what it means to put others before self.”  The national organization has had a longstanding relationship with the U.S. military, with those achieving the highest rank, Eagle Scout, qualifying to enter service at higher pay grades when they graduate from recruit training.  Eagle Scouts make up roughly 11% to 20% of students at the nation’s service academies, and at least 17% of students at the U.S. Naval Academy, West Point and the U.S. Air…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Stephen A. Smith sat down with President Donald Trump at the White House in mid-October and made a point that deserves more attention than the usual partisan scorekeeping.The ESPN commentator told Trump that the aggressive rollback of DEI programs has produced an unintended side effect: Private corporations are growing hesitant to support historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Donors fear that a gift once viewed as ordinary philanthropy will now be read as a DEI initiative, inviting government scrutiny or accusations of engaging in racial preferences. Smith, an HBCU graduate, said the president acknowledged he had not fully considered that chilling effect and said he would look into it.The conversation was useful precisely because it separated opposition to race-based mandates from hostility toward Black institutions and people.STEPHEN A SMITH DOUBLES DOWN ON TRUMP DINNER, CHALLENGES CRITICS BY ASKING, ‘WHAT THE F— ARE YOU DOING?’That distinction is essential. Opposition to DEI programs that impose racial quotas, “check-the-box” hiring or the elevation of identity over competence is not anti-Black. It is pro-equality and pro-merit. Preferential treatment that sorts Americans by race, ethnicity or sex violates the principle of equal treatment and, in some circumstances,…
