Illegally detaining a Marine Veteran.

From The Rutherford Institute:

In the four years since the start of Operation Vigilant Eagle, the government has steadily ramped up its campaign to "silence" dissidents, especially those with military backgrounds. Coupled with the DHS' dual reports on Rightwing and Leftwing "Extremism," which broadly define extremists as individuals and groups "that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely," these tactics have boded ill for anyone seen as opposing the government.

One particularly troubling mental health label being applied to veterans and others who challenge the status quo is "oppositional defiance disorder" (ODD). As journalist Anthony Martin explains, an ODD diagnosis

"denotes that the person exhibits 'symptoms' such as the questioning of authority, the refusal to follow directions, stubbornness, the unwillingness to go along with the crowd, and the practice of disobeying or ignoring orders. Persons may also receive such a label if they are considered free thinkers, nonconformists, or individuals who are suspicious of large, centralized government... At one time the accepted protocol among mental health professionals was to reserve the diagnosis of oppositional defiance disorder for children or adolescents who exhibited uncontrollable defiance toward their parents and teachers."

The case of 26-year-old decorated Marine Brandon Raub—who was targeted because of his Facebook posts, interrogated by government agents about his views on government corruption, arrested with no warning, labeled mentally ill for subscribing to so-called "conspiratorial" views about the government, detained against his will in a psych ward for standing by his views, and isolated from his family, friends and attorneys—is a prime example of the government's war on veterans.

Raub's case exposes the seedy underbelly of a governmental system that is targeting Americans—especially military veterans—for expressing their discontent over America's rapid transition to a police state.
Here is a news story by RT (Russian Times) about Brandon Raub. Apparently the corporate media in the United States won't tell his story:


To underscore how big this story truly is, John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute is the lead attorney defending the innocent victims targeted by the Obama Thought Police. Whitehead is quite famous for his defense of the Bill of Rights for the past several decades.
This is big.

Obama wants everybody to think like a brain-dead zombie while he transforms America into Orwell's 1984.
Wake up.

Ebola Czar On Record:
Overpopulation His Top Issue

in Health & Science, News, Politics / by Brandon Walker / on October 22, 2014 at 10:27 pm /


What happens when you appoint an "Ebola Czar" that thinks we should de-populate the world? We are about to find out.

Ronald Klain, the newly appointed Ebola Czar that was mysteriously missing from a White House meeting on Ebola, has a lot of explaining to do.

Not only was he mysteriously missing from the meeting, but he has absolutely no medical experience. He was the campaign manager for Al Gore, who is still upset about the 2000 election fourteen years later.

How does President Obama explain away promoting the man who thinks that overpopulation is our number one priority to head the country on a disease that could seriously reduce the population of the United States if not kept in check?


The independent news source Got News found this disturbing little gem tucked away. The interview is from 2008 with him and his wife. America has been dying to know who this man is and what are his medical credentials.

Honestly, he has none. He is a former campaign manager who thinks overpopulation is the number one problem facing the United States, which the population has been in decline for the past two decades.

So we have appointed a Ebola Czar that has no medical training, no experience in the medical field, and thinks your life is not worth it because we have to make room for the rest of the world.

Then we have the "predictions" from a web site that claimed to use Government sources for what they estimated to be a population loss of 80-90% by 2025.

Currently posted on the website home page:


"For those who might be concerned.

The countries forecast has been out there for over a decade. It is updated annually using the latest available information and is provided AS IS. Obviously, at this point, predicts a Western collapse.

This website is not and has never been linked to any government. It is the result of private individuals using their spare time." (Deagl.com)

The staff admitted they used forecasting data from census and available resources to the public from the government. Coupled with Klain's statement, it does have the internet questioning what is going on.


If anyone has a rational explanation for why the population of the US is supposed to DROP 78.2% from 316+ million now to ONLY 69 million people in 2025, we'd love to know the answer. If anyone knows why our military spending will drop in 10 years from $726 billion dollars to $8 billion dollars in 2025, please explain. Is there a reason why our GDP per capita will be dropping from $52,838 to $13,328 by 2025? Inquiring minds surely want to know...and we deserve answers! Check out the data for the US on Deagel.com yourselves; any ideas what we are witnessing? Is this proof of depopulation? If not, why the huge forecasted drops? (All News Pipeline)

While logic dictates that we shouldn't  be extremely worried about a website that uses census data to predict trends, the list of resources they use is a bit puzzling and alarming.


United States Coast Guard
Department of Defense
Government
United States Air Force
United States Army
United States Marine Corps
United States Navy

Sources: US Department of Defense, Department of State, CIA, World Bank and European Union. (Deagel US Population and GDP predictions 2025)

So we have a website listing government sources while trying to tell the general public it is not linked to the government and an Ebola Czar that wants to depopulate the world?

Something stinks about these latest "predictions" and this appointment that does not have to go through Congress.

STUDENTS SIGN PETITION
TO HAVE GUN OWNERS EXECUTED
IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS

February 4, 2014
by Dean James


BY TIM BROWN

Mark Dice is at it again and the more of these videos he makes, the more he tends to help us understand just how people get in a mindset that is similar to those of Nazi Germany. Dice's latest fake petition calls for the imprisonment of all legal gun owners in concentration camps, even having them executed.

"We just want to make sure we disarm the citizens," Dice said to one California college student asking them to sign a petition to repeal the Second Amendment. "We can trust the government to be the only ones with guns."


"These peasants don't need guns," Dice continued. "We want to put all registered gun owners in prison."

At least one of the students said it was "too dangerous" for people to own guns.

"It's just a simple repeal of the Second Amendment and we'll be terminating and executing all of the gun owners," Dice said with a straight face, though I'm not sure how he could pull it off.

"We are going to ban all guns except for the military and police," Dice explained to a student who signed the petition. "We'll do door to door confiscations, we have lists of all the registered weapons, so the military will just go and take those away from people."




Dice told one student signed the petition, "I didn't think I could get any more ridiculous."

Lo and behold he did. . "We need to take these gun owners and put them into FEMA concentration camps to keep everybody safe," Dice told one skateboarding student. The student didn't sign the petition, though he did agree that putting gun owners in FEMA camps would "keep them safe."

What is amazing is that some people are completely clueless about what is taking place in this country. Furthermore, this is the next generation. If so many are so ignorant now, what will they be in future generations?

So far, Dice has had Californians sign various petitions that are almost unbelievable. His petitions have included support of Nazi-Style Police State, putting birth control in the water supply, releasing all illegal aliens from prison and granting them free US citizenship, granting Barack Obama immunity of all the crimes he commits in office.

He also got Californians to sign a petition for Obama to repeal the entire Bill of Rights and has been getting signatures for each of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights, including the First, Second, Third, Fourth ,Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Amendments.

Clinton's Pardons for Pedophiles
October 23, 2014 by Daniel Greenfield


The Office of the Inspector General of the State Department found in its latest investigation that Clinton aides had "created an appearance of undue influence and favoritism" in a number of cases including that of Ambassador Howard Gutman.

The investigation is largely a whitewash. There is no mention of the fact that one whistleblower related to the case, Richard Higbie, had his emails deleted by a hacker. Or that the main whistleblower, Aurelia Fedenisn, was harassed at home and had her law firm burgled.

It goes almost without saying that Richard Nixon went down for much less than that.

There is also no mention of the more explosive allegation that Howard Gutman had not merely solicited a prostitute on a single occasion, as the report mentions, but had escaped his detail to "solicit sexual favors from minor children."

Also overlooked is the fact that the Gutman case was shoved under the rug by Cheryl Mills, who was not only Hillary Clinton's Chief of Staff but the White House Counsel who ferociously protected Bill Clinton when questions were raised about his own sexual activities.

Mills is a fanatical Clinton loyalist. During her days in the Clinton White House, a colleague was quoted as saying, "If something's on the other side of a brick wall and the Clintons need it, she'll find a way to get to it: over, around or through."

It should come as no surprise that Cheryl Mills also played a key role in covering up Benghazigate. It was Mills who had ordered Gregory Hicks, the Deputy Chief of Mission, not to talk about what happened. Hicks testified that he had been punished for refusing to keep quiet.

Covering up for Gutman's sexual abuse of children would have been about more than just the State Department's usual white wall of silence. Like many European ambassadors in the new administration, Gutman was not a diplomat — he was a donor. A man like Christopher Stevens might be sent to Libya, but positions in European capitals were mostly reserved for major contributors to the Democratic Party.

When it came to money, Howard Gutman, a top Washington lawyer, brought in the cash by raising $500,000 for Obama's campaign committee and another $275,000 for his inauguration committee.  And Gutman was not just an Obama boy. He had donated the legal maximum to Hillary's presidential bid.

That was a lot of money. Enough to let a donor molest as many children as he cared to.

Once in Belgium, Howard Gutman got in trouble for making anti-Semitic remarks. An actual diplomat might have been replaced, but Gutman was there as a donor and it would take a lot to move him out. While Stevens was begging for basic security for the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Gutman was having his 16,096 square foot mansion in Brussels renovated on the grounds of environmental correctness.

If only Stevens had been able to raise six figures for a presidential candidate maybe the Benghazi mission would have been secured by something more than empty promises and wishful thinking.

Not even allegations of child abuse could dislodge the grotesque Gutman from his sinecure.

Instead of being permanently recalled, Gutman visited Washington to meet with Cheryl Mills and Patrick Kennedy, both key figures in the Benghazi cover-up, and went right back to his mansion.

When the case finally broke open after Hillary Clinton had left the building, the hot Libyan wind blowing in her wake, her spokeswoman followed the Obama tradition by claiming complete ignorance. "We learned of it from the media and don't know anything beyond what's been reported," she said.

Obama had learned about all his scandals from the media. Why should Hillary be any different? And yet it wasn't exactly the first time that the Clintons had ended up in this mess.

Jeffrey Epstein, a top Clinton pal, had sexually abused a large number of children, including three 12-year-old girls. He had boasted of "buying" another 14-year-old girl. Epstein's jets ferried the "flat broke" Bill Clinton around to his private island, where some of his atrocities took place, and all the way over to Africa. At least one of Epstein's "girls" claimed that she had met Bill Clinton.

When the case broke wide open, Epstein, like Gutman, all but got away with it. Instead of the ten year sentence that the federal government had wanted, he ended up serving little more than a year in jail.

If you can call it jail when Epstein was serving his time in a private wing of the Palm Beach prison and was "let out on work release six days a week for up to 16 hours a day." During his "house arrest," he flew around the country on his jets from his New York City place to his private island.

The timing of the case had been inconvenient. The Epstein case overlapped with Hillary Clinton's reelection campaign. While Hillary Clinton was locking down the Democratic Party nomination, Jeffrey Epstein was wriggling out of the charges using a combination of ugly tactics and political pressure.

Much of the blame fell on State Attorney Barry Krischer, a prominent Democrat who had vigorously targeted Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, the latter for voting in the wrong precinct.  Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter had even asked Krischer to remove himself from the case. Krischer did not.

These days Barry has a "humanitarian award" named after him and it's unclear what goodies await him if the Clintons crawl into the White House.

Such brutalization of children would horrify most people, but we already know that they would not have moved Hillary Clinton in the least. The recent release of an audio tape in which Clinton laughed while discussing her defense of a vicious rapist who beat a 12-year-old girl into a coma is a horrifying look at the kind of woman who could participate in the cover-up of such crimes against children.

Hillary Clinton's defense of the rapist had included accusing the 12-year-old girl of being "emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and engage in fantasizing." Despite that, Hillary had made it clear in the interview that she knew her rapist was guilty. And she had laughed about it.

Throughout the years, Hillary Clinton repeatedly lied about the case and the media helped her cover up some of the uglier details. It is in its own way much the same story as the cases of Howard Gutman and Jeffrey Epstein. If Hillary Clinton had no problem accusing a 12-year-old girl who had been raped and beaten into a coma of being a liar, why would she stop at covering up for Gutman and Epstein?

Pardongate had already proven that the Clintons and their collaborators, including future Attorney General Eric Holder, were willing to deliver pardons to those in a position to pay them back. But the Gutman case is another reminder that the Clintons are willing to do more than merely pardon financial crimes. There may be no crime too horrific, no atrocity too terrible, that a large checkbook cannot buy.

We expect a certain amount of corruption from our politicians. It might even be unrealistic to deny its inevitability. But there are places where we must draw the line or become a republic of monsters.

If we can't draw the line at an Epstein or a Gutman, then what we have is not mere corruption but Saddam Hussein's rape rooms and child prisons under the MSNBC logo. It means that we live in a country where leftist billionaires and millionaires buy children the way that they buy elections.

The Gutman case deserves to be fully and thoroughly investigated, in the way that the Epstein case wasn't. And the cover-up of it should be pursued no matter how high up it goes.

The Blood on Obama's Hands
October 21, 2014 by David Horowitz


When conservatives consider the casualties of Obama's national security policies, their attention is drawn quite naturally to Benghazi. In this shameful episode, the Obama Administration sacrificed an ambassador and three American heroes to protect a deceptive presidential campaign message in which Obama claimed that the war against al-Qaeda was over and won ("Osama bin Laden is dead, and al-Qaeda is on the run"). The facts are these: Ambassador Chris Stevens and three American heroes were sent into an al-Qaeda stomping ground that the British and other diplomatic consulates had already evacuated; they were denied the security they had requested; they were then left to die during a seven hour fire fight when their compound was attacked, and finally betrayed in death, when Obama and his representatives lied to the world about what had taken place and when he failed to bring their killers to justice as he had mendaciously promised he would.

Benghazi can be seen as the collateral damage caused by presidential lies – and worse – presidential denial that there is in fact a war that Islamists have declared on America. Instead Obama insists – in the official language he authorized and that is still in place – that America's responses to acts of Islamic terror should be described as "overseas contingency operations." If Islamic murders and beheadings take place in the homeland, Obama calls them "workplace violence." Benghazi is also the most shameful presidential abandonment of Americans in the field in our history – a disgrace compounded when Obama justified his trade of five Taliban Generals for one American deserter by saying Americans don't leave their countrymen on the battlefield, which is precisely what he did in Benghazi. All of which justifies the conservative focus on this terrible event.

But the casualties of Obama's reign in Benghazi are dwarfed by the hundreds of thousands of deaths his policies have led to in Syria and Iraq, and the millions of Iraqis, Syrians and Libyans that those same policies have caused to flee their homes and become homeless in Turkey, Tunisia and other places of refuge. Obama's legacy is defined by his ideological aversion to American power, his rule as the most anti-military president in our history, and his deeds as an "anti-war" activist, opposed to the "war on terror" because he believes that America's (and Israel's) policies are the cause of terrorism and the hatred that Islamic fanatics direct against our country.

Because of his ideological opposition to American power, Obama deliberately and openly surrendered America's gains in Iraq, which had been won through the sacrifice of thousands of American lives and tens of thousands of American casualties. By deliberately handing over America's massive military base in Iraq – a country that borders Syria, Afghanistan and Iran – Obama turned that country over to the terrorists and Iran, as his generals and intelligence chief and secretary of defense warned it would. Obama disregarded the warnings from his national security advisers – as no other American president would have – because he regarded America rather than the terrorists as the threat. In abandoning Iraq and deliberately losing the peace, he betrayed every American and every Iraqi who gave their lives to keep Iraq out of the hands of the terrorists and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Obama's stubborn refusal to use America's military might – ground forces backed by air power – when Assad crossed the "red line" Obama had drawn in Syria created a second power vacuum that the terrorists filled, thus leading to the emergence of ISIS or ISIL – the Islamic State in Syria and the Levant. Defenders of Obama will claim that the American public would not have supported a military intervention in Syria even if Obama had ordered one. But why is that? It is because for eleven years, beginning with their assault on "Bush's war" in Iraq, the Democrats have sabotaged the war on terror, claiming that America's use of power for anything but "humanitarian" purposes is illegitimate, dangerous and the root cause of the terrorist problem.

Because it was "humanitarian" Obama felt justified in conducting an unauthorized, illegal intervention in Libya to overthrow an anti-al Qaeda dictator, saying it was to prevent an invisible threat to civilians there. The result? Al-Qaeda is now a dominant force in Libya, and 1.8 million Libyans – a third of the population – have fled to Tunisia. Another brutal Obama legacy. Yet, how firm is Obama's commitment to humanitarian interventions? In Iraq he stood by while more than half a million Christians were either slaughtered or driven into exile by ISIS murderers on their mission to cleanse the earth of infidels. This was the oldest Christian community in the world, going back to the time of Christ, and Obama let it be systematically destroyed before bad press and pressure from his own party caused him to intervene to save Yazvidis and a Christian remnant trapped on a mountain top.

The Obama presidency has been an unmitigated disaster for Iraqis, Syrians, and Libyans. Now that ISIS is in control of territory the size of a state, has access to hundreds of millions of petrol dollars and advanced U.S. ordnance, not to mention chemical weapons that Saddam left behind, it is an impending disaster for the American homeland as well.

I've always said, Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. 
They should both be changed regularly,
and for the same reason."

Christmas may come early for me. I understand that many conservatives have come to believe that there is no difference between the two major parties. MANY of them even stayed home on Election Day in 2012 and bragged about it, as if their refusal to vote for Mr. Morman, Mitt Romney, thus making it easier for Obama to win a second term, somehow reflected well on them.  Idiots!!

If the GOP wins back the Senate and banishes Harry Reid from his current position as the second most powerful politician in Washington, I swear I wouldn't ask Santa for anything more.

I believe that so many people have repeated the lie about Republican politicians being indistinguishable from Democrats that a lot of people who should know better have swallowed the bilge. One party voted 100% for the Affordable Care Act, the other party opposed it. One party has tried to sweep every scandal from Operation Fast & Furious to Benghazi and the IRS under the carpet, while the other party has tried to get to the bottom of them because, contrary to Hillary's self-serving lie, the truth always makes a difference. And a lie that is repeated a thousand times isn't magically transformed into the truth, even though demagogues and those involved in advertising might wish it were otherwise.

More than one person has written to me with the expectation that even if the GOP only gains five Senate seats in the midterm elections, there is a good chance that Joe Manchin (D) of West Virginia might agree to switch his party affiliation, especially if he were to be promised an important committee chairmanship.

My advice to Sen. Manchin is that he should make the switch before Nov. 4th. After all, the GOP stands a very good chance of winning the Senate without him. In which case, he loses his bargaining power and merely looks like the worst sort of political opportunist, sort of like that weasel Jim Jeffords, who switched in the other direction and was thereafter regarded with contempt by those on both sides of the aisle.

Speaking of weasels, no politician should ever have his name attached to anything – be it a bridge, a highway or a post office – unless he personally built it or paid for it. The only exception is his tombstone.

In what has come to be known as American diplomacy, Joe Biden just announced that we are giving Gaza an additional $212 million to help them rebuild everything the Israelis knocked down in retaliation for unending missile attacks. The truth is that most of the money will be spent, not on apartment houses, but to construct new tunnels and buy more Katyushas. So, once again, this administration tries, like so many past ones, to buy the friendship of terrorists. It's bad enough that it adds to our national debt, but the practice also adds to our national shame.

Interestingly enough, those who have campaigned to change Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day believe that the white race has a great deal to be ashamed of when it comes to the way that Indigenous People, otherwise known as Indians, have been treated in this country.

According to the lunkheads, the natives were a kind and peaceful people who lived on loving terms with Mother Nature until Caucasians landed on Plymouth Rock. When you realize that all the tribes were basically Stone Age savages who would inevitably have been overtaken by the modern world, it makes you wonder if these dunces also believe that the blacks in Africa were residing in the Garden of Eden until the Europeans came along.

At least Columbus Day pays tribute to a superb seaman and reminds people to visit an Italian restaurant in the near future. What would a celebration of the Indigenous People look like? Inasmuch as they were notorious for scalping their enemies and devouring their internal organs, I'm sure the menu would leave something to be desired.

As for their creative heritage, when you get past blankets, trinkets, totem poles and wickiups, it hardly measures up to that of the European transplants whose heritage, even in the 1600s, already included Butler, Milton, Moliere, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Velasquez, Donne, Cervantes, Purcell, Bach and Shakespeare. Of course not everyone would agree with me. I'm sure that those whose religion is multiculturalism, and whose devotion to political correctness forever dooms them to be fatuous lunkheads, prefer cave paintings to Rembrandt.

Speak of the Devil, have you heard that in Nebraska, school kids are being told to call each other Purple Penguins because terms such as "boys" and "girls" might be offensive to transgendered eight year olds? It's all part of an agenda prepared by an organization calling itself Gender Spectrum, which seeks to make bathrooms accessible to one and all, no matter the nature of the individual's plumbing. Funny, one used to be able to assume a certain level of commonsense from Midwesterners, but that was before the Purple Penguin crowd moved in and took control of school boards and city councils, forcing normal people to park their brains at the curb.

But the lunacy unfortunately isn't limited to Nebraska, Iowa or any of those other flat rectangular states. In Washington, D.C., the resident space aliens refuse to stop incoming flights from West Africa, even though France and England have done so in an attempt to keep Ebola from taking root in their countries. The only reason we don't follow suit is because most of those flights are carrying black passengers, and no politician wants to risk being labeled racist, even though their cowardice might lead to an epidemic of terrifying proportions.

By deciding not to rule on the constitutionality of same-sex marriages, the Supreme Court allowed lower court rulings to stand, thus pretty much making it the law of the land.

In just about every state that has placed the issue on the ballot, the people have voted against it. Nevertheless, we're told that polls indicate that Americans have changed their minds. That may well be true. But I'd hate to think that most Americans don't share my objection to unelected federal judges assuming the authority to override the laws of Congress and the stated will of the people, which in 1996 led the House and Senate to overwhelmingly enact the Defense of Marriage Act.

We appear to be trying very hard to turn ourselves into a Third World nation brimming over with indigenous knuckleheads of the sort who lack the most basic skills and have to import even our blankets and cheap trinkets from China.

I'm beginning to think I may have been a tad too hasty when I hopped off Santa's lap.

VIDEO: These Harvard Students Show
that a $60K a Year Education
Cannot Buy
Intelligence or Common Sense

October 8, 2014

Harvard University is considered one of the elite schools in education. But, when Caleb Bonham  from Campus Reform visited the Ivy League school, the answer students gave to one basic question may leave people questioning not only their intelligence, but their sanity.

Bonham asked students on the Harvard campus, "Who poses a greater threat to world peace, ISIS or America?"

Simple question to answer, right? Well, the answers of these Harvard 'intellectuals' just may surprise you.

I'm not sure what is the worst experience, listening to their answers or listening to them attempt to justify their response. Maybe these intellectual elites are unaware of the beheadings by ISIS, or the death of others at their hands by being buried alive, cut in half, or the raping and pillaging of villages and towns.

By Michael Snyder, on October 20th, 2014

Do you feel like you truly understand men?  Much has been written about how men don't understand women, but the truth is that there is a whole lot about men that women don't understand as well.  The point is not to spark a debate about "the battle of the sexes" or anything like that.  Rather, it is important for all of us to understand that there is a tremendous amount of confusion about what it means "to be a man" in America today.  So many of our young men seem lost, so many of our older men seem defeated and depressed, and all over this country families are completely falling apart.  We need to understand our problems so that we can start focusing on solutions.  Below, I have shared 17 things about men that most women don't know.  Some of them are funny, some of them are quite interesting and some of them are extremely serious. 

But all of them say something about where we are as a society today...

#1 When women age, they tend to become attracted to older men.  For example, one study found that 20-year-old women are most attracted to 23-year-old men and 50-year-old women are most attracted to 46-year-old men.  But the same is not true when we look at men.  That same study found that 20-year-old men are most attracted to 20-year-old women and 50-year-old men are most attracted to 22-year-old women.

#2 Many men often put on a bold front, but inside they are not nearly as secure.  At least that is what one survey found.  When presented with the statement "I am not always as confident as I look", 76 percent of men chose the response "I feel like this regularly/sometimes".

#3 If you could look into their hearts, you would find that most men are not truly happy.  In fact, one survey of 50-year-old men found that only 12 percent of them said that they were "very happy".

#4 Many men still believe in traditional gender roles.  For example, one survey found that 57 percent of men expect to always pay on a date.  Alternatively, 20 percent believed that whoever initiated the date should pay, and 18 percent believed that date costs should be split.

#5 If women are wondering if it has become harder to find men that are in good shape, that is because it is true.  According to the CDC, 34.6 percent of all men in America are obese at this point.  But that doesn't mean that men are tolerant of weight gain in women.  Sadly, one survey discovered that 50 percent of men would dump their partner "if they gained a significant amount of weight".

#6 Most single men realize that women consider financial security to be an extremely important factor in attractiveness.  One recent survey found that "a steady job" is the number one thing that women are looking for in a husband, and another survey discovered that 75 percent of women would have a serious problem dating an unemployed man.  As a result of these attitudes, many men measure their self-worth by the size of their paychecks.

#7 In recent years, the number of men that are struggling to find work has reached new heights.  In fact, the inactivity rate for men in their prime working years (25 to 54) is now at the highest level that has ever been recorded.

#8 86 percent of men include "having children" in their definition of success.  For women, that number is only 73 percent.

#9 Many men also wish that they could spend less time working and more time with their children.  One poll found that 46 percent of fathers say that they don't spend enough time with their kids.

#10 Men are really dropping behind women when it comes to college education.  In 2013, 60 percent of all bachelor's degrees were earned by women.

#11 Men are much more likely "not to leave the nest" than women.  In 2012, an astounding 40 percent of all men in the 18 to 31-year-old age group still lived with their parents.

#12 There is a porn epidemic among men.  This is true even among men that are supposed to be religious.  One survey found that 64 percent of all Christian men ages 31 to 49 look at porn at least monthly.

#13 An astounding 30 percent of all Internet traffic currently goes to adult websites.

#14 There are more than 4 million adult websites on the Internet, and they get more traffic than Netflix, Amazon and Twitter combined.

#15 Society has trained young men to avoid getting married, and this has resulted in an absolutely stunning decline in the marriage rate.  Back in 1920, there were 92.3 marriages for every 1,000 unmarried women.  In 2012, there were only 31.1 marriages for every 1,000 unmarried women.

#16 The average age at first marriage just keeps going up for men and for women.  At this point, the average age when a man first gets married has reached an all-time high of 29.0 years.

#17 Women have always lived longer than men and that is still true today.  Women have a life expectancy of 81.0 years and men have a life expectancy of just 76.2 years.

How long can we expect to live?
Life expectancy at birth represents the average number of years that a group of infants would live if the group was to experience throughout life the age-specific death rates present in the year of birth. U.S. life expectancy at birth for the total population was 78.8 years in 2012—an increase of 0.1 year from 78.7 years in 2011 (Figure 1). In 2012, life expectancy was 81.2 years for females and 76.4 for males. Life expectancy for females was consistently higher than that for males. In 2012, the difference in life expectancy between females and males was 4.8 years, the same as in 2011.




So what do you think about all of this, ladies?
