The growing isolation of the American male

 Post Millenial:

A February 8 survey from Pew Research Center found that 63 percent of young men ages 18 through 29 report being single while only 34 percent of women in that same age group report the same.

Terry Schilling, the President of the American Principles Project, told Breitbart News, "Men are more under attack than ever. A majority of college graduates are now women, and men are making less in the workforce. And because women expect their partner to make more than them, it’s leading to a great isolation of American men."
...

As The Post Millennial reported, a Psychology Today study found many men avoid asking women out for fear of seeming "creepy." In that study, 53 percent of men between the ages of 18 and 40 reported being single and 44 percent of that group said the fear of being creepy "reduces their likelihood of interacting with women."

The Pew Research Poll also found that roughly 30 percent of all US adults are single, meaning "they are not married, living with a partner or in a committed romantic relationship."

In adults between the ages of 18 and 29, 47 percent report being single. Those 30 to 49 years of age only come in at 21 percent single, 50 to 64 at 29 percent, 65 and up report 33 percent.

While young men come in at 63 percent single, the other age groups sampled, 30 to 66 and up, all come in between 20 and 30 percent.

For women, no age group reports being single at a percentage higher than 40 percent, with women 65 and up coming at 39 percent. Women 30 to 49 report only a 17 percent single rate.

As Breitbart reports, young men "commit suicide at four times the rate of their female counterparts. They are falling behind in education, with women receiving nearly 60 percent of undergraduate degrees. And research suggests that the rise in mass shootings, committed primarily by young men, is linked to the 'great isolation of American men,' as Schilling put it."
...

This is not a healthy situation and it is also becoming a threat to US national security as fewer men or joining military service.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
