US parents are pulling their children out of Boy Scouts over Donald Trump's 'drunk stepdad' speech
Angry parents have pledged to withdraw their sons from Boy Scouts amid an outcry over Donald Trump's highly politicised speech to tens of thousands of youngsters. The US President broke with tradition to attack his political foes, threaten to fire federal employees, and denounce the media in a rambling address at the 2017 National Scout Jamboree. Previous presidents to have addressed the Jamboree, held every four years, have typically steered clear of politics and instead saluted Scout values such as trustworthiness, loyalty, and bravery.

We tried fried chicken from 4 fast-food chains - and the winner was clear
The INSIDER Summary: We tried fried chicken from Popeyes, Church's, Chick-fil-A, and KFC to see which makes it the best. KFC was the clear loser - its chicken was dry, and its batter was bland. Chick-fil-A came in third place because while we loved the batter's flavor and seasoning, the chicken didn't taste as authentic because the chain doesn't offer meat on the bone. Church's came in second place. The meat was juicy and tender, but its batter wasn't as flavorful as Popeyes, which came in first place. A good piece of fried chicken has to achieve the difficult balance of being crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Not all restaurants get it right - which is why we set out to find which

We Used To Hate This ’90s Dress Trend But Now We Love It
The slip dress may be the biggest dress revival to come out of the ’90s (for good reason, as it’s incredibly versatile and super-easy to wear), but another style from the earlier part of the decade is having a moment: button-front dresses. You know what we’re talking about. You probably wore one in a family photo or teamed one with combat boots during your grunge phase. It was likely a floral print, and you may or may not cringe at the sight of it now. Same. But new versions of the dress are flooding the market, making us see the once-outdated style with fresh, enthusiastic eyes. Cut in a range of silhouettes that include flippy minis and maxi lengths to precious sleeves and simple tank straps, the only really nostalgic part of this look is the button detailing. Go ahead and throw it on with a fuss-free sandal and cute straw bag and you’ll be ready to roll (just don’t pair it with Dr. Martens and a straw hat à la Blossom). Here, shop our edit of current styles for every budget. Homepage Photo: Getty Images

California teacher held at border checkpoint: "It made me feel sick to get asked"
Cellphone video of a confrontation at a border patrol checkpoint is stirring up new controversy in the immigration debate. A California teacher posted a video of border patrol agents detaining her after she refused to say if she was a U.S. citizen at a checkpoint in New Mexico, about 35 miles from the border. The video has many wondering if she was within her rights or had an obligation to comply. When San Diego resident Shane Parmely was stopped at a New Mexico border patrol station she refused to answer the agent's questions. She was heading home from vacation with her three children and asked one of them to start recording the exchange. The videos have generated thousands of views on Facebook
