EU "safety-net" produces despair------U.S. and European Millennials differ on their views of fate, future
U.S. and European Millennials differ on their views of fate, future | Pew Research Center:
"With up to half of young adults unemployed in some European countries, it’s little wonder that many European Millennials despair about the future.
But a deeper malaise afflicts many younger Europeans.
They lack a sense of agency:
A majority don’t feel that they can impact the world around them or their future, a stark contrast with their American counterparts.
Roughly half or more of Millennials in six of the seven European Union nations surveyed by the Pew Research Center last year believe that “success in life is pretty much determined by forces outside our control.”
This includes 63% of young Germans and Italians and 62% of young Greeks and Poles.
(Brits were the exception, with only 37% of those ages 18 to 33 agreeing with that statement.)
By contrast, slightly more than four-in-ten young Americans (43%) share this view."

State Dept. spox refuses to say Jews were targeted during kosher deli attack…then tweets this hours later | TheBlaze.com:"State Department spokesman Jen Psaki on Tuesday refused to admit that last month’s attack at a kosher deli in Paris was probably the work of a terrorist who was targeting Jews.
Psaki was asked about the attack after President Barack Obama described the attack as one that resulted in the death of “a bunch of folks” who were shot “randomly.” That comment led to charges that Obama was trying to downplay the idea that the attacker was targeting Jews."
Students call for Ferguson prosecutor, St. Louis police chief’s invitations rescinded
Students call for Ferguson prosecutor, St. Louis police chief’s invitations rescinded:
"...The Thin Blue Line: Policing Post-Ferguson” is set for Feb. 20 and will be hosted by the Saint Louis University Public Law Review.
The event is described as a chance to “identify legal challenges that face law enforcement on the streets today” and will bring together academics, law enforcement and others for a “candid discussion of the changing environment in which our justice system is closely examined.”
But the student-led, St. Louis-based activist group Tribe X wants the forum shelved.
“We believe this event as scheduled runs counter to [community healing] and is a significant step back in regards to SLU’s relationship with the community and in particular the people who have so passionately and vehemently stood for justice all these months,” the group’s recent letter stated to campus officials.
In addition to Tribe X, a group of law students spoke out against McCulloch’s invitation at a university town hall meeting on Monday afternoon.
And at least one SLU law professor publicly condemned McCulloch’s invitation."

Is Vagina Yogurt a Way to Fight the Patriarchy? -- The Cut | donotlink.com"Would Julia Child be really sad to know there’s an entire cookbook dedicated to semen while recipes that utilize a woman’s vaginal secretions seem nearly impossible to unearth (and no, the cleverly named rum cocktail Pussy Juice doesn't count)? Cecilia Westbrook, an M.D./Ph.D. student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, pondered that question and thought, “Yeah, maybe!” Then she figured out a way to make yogurt from her own vagina, Motherboard reports.
Here’s how she did it:
The "collection method" was done with a wooden spoon. She set up a positive control (made with actual yogurt as the starter culture) and a negative control (plain milk with nothing added), and combined her own home-made ingredient to the third batch of yogurt. Left overnight, the magic of biology created a respectably-sized bowl."

Two Immigrants For Every New Job Since 2000
Two Immigrants For Every New Job Since 2000 | The Daily Caller:
"The United States has accepted two new immigrants for each additional job created since 2000, according to federal data.
The data shows that 18 million legal and illegal immigrants settled in the United States from 2000 to 2015, while only 9.3 million additional jobs were created, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors a reduced level of immigration.
After subtracting deaths, departures and retirements among the immigrants, the working-age population of immigrants grew 12 million since 2000, according to data at the Bureau of Labor Standards, said Steve Camarota, the author of the CIS study.
That’s equal to three years of American births."

"Exertion Intolerance"???-----Chronic Fatigue Syndrome gets yet another name
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome gets yet another name - health - 10 February 2015 - New Scientist:
"What's in a name?
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a condition that debilitates as many as 2.5 million people in the US with exhaustion, should be renamed Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease, according to the US Institute of Medicine (IOM).
As well as the name-change, the IOM has this week proposed a five-point checklist for diagnosis.
Because the cause of the condition, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis or ME, remains unknown, identifying the condition can be difficult."

Bryn Mawr Changes Admission Guidelines To Accept Transwomen
Bryn Mawr Changes Admission Guidelines To Accept Transwomen | Washington Free Beacon
Bryn Mawr College, an all-women’s liberal arts school in Pennsylvania, clarified its admission policy on Monday to accept transwomen and individuals who “identify as women” when they apply.
...“The Board approved the working group’s recommendation that in addition to those applicants who were assigned female at birth, the applicant pool will be inclusive of transwomen and of intersex individuals who live and identify as women at the time of application,” the email said. “Intersex individuals who do not identify as male are also eligible for admission.”
The Board of Trustees sent an email announcing that it had voted unanimously to update its admission rules, which were previously open to “female students only.”
“During its meetings this past weekend, the College’s Board of Trustees discussed and approved a recommendation from a Board working group that was created at the September 2014 Board meeting to examine the mission of the College with respect to transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming applicants,” an email from the Board of Trustees said.
However, the college will not be inclusive to transmen.
“Those assigned female at birth who have taken medical or legal steps to identify as male are not eligible for admission,” the Board of Trustees said.

Obamacare Tax Threatens to Close West Coast Ports:
"The slow-roll implementation of Obamacare threatens to close U.S. commercial ports on the West Coast.
The 29 ports, which handle 70 percent of maritime imports from Asia, were closed over the weekend after months of contentious contract negotiations.
The ports reopened Monday, but 20,000 longshoremen are still threatening to strike over a new Obamacare tax.
Obamacare imposes a 40 percent tax on health benefits deemed too generous by the government. Health benefits exceeding $10,200 a year in value for individuals or $27,500 for families are defined as “Cadillac” plans and are subject to the tax.
Health benefits for longshoremen exceed $40,000 per employee, meaning the union would be served an enormous tax bill when the penalty is imposed in 2018.
The longshoremen’s contract expired in July, 2014 and contract talks have stalled, in large part, over whether workers or employers will pay the new Obamacare tax.
The longshoremen are the first union to negotiate a contract that would extend beyond the time the tax is first imposed.
“This will come up in just about every contract negotiation out there,” J.D. Piro, a health-benefits consultant, told Bloomberg News.
“Every employer is going to be calculating when and if they hit the threshold and how they’re going to pay for this.”"

Axelrod: Obama Lied About His Opposition to Gay Marriage in 2008 | TheBlaze.com:
“I’m just not very good at bulls**tting,” Obama told Axelrod about his stated opposition to same-sex marriage, according to a portion of the book reported in Time.
Axelrod said Obama personally favored gay marriage during his first presidential campaign, but felt he had to publicly say he was opposed and only supported civil unions.
“Opposition to gay marriage was particularly strong in the black church, and as he ran for higher office, he grudgingly accepted the counsel of more pragmatic folks like me, and modified his position to support civil unions rather than marriage, which he would term a ‘sacred union,’ ” Axelrod wrote."

Hawaiian Independence Movement Attracts Chinese Interest | Washington Free Beacon:
"HONOLULU—China has suggested arming Hawaii’s independence activists in retaliation for U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and recently threatened to challenge American sovereignty by making legal claims to the Pacific islands as its territory.
Chinese threats to back several groups of Hawaiian independence activists who want to restore the islands’ constitutional monarchy, ousted in a U.S.-backed coup over a century ago, has raised concerns that military facilities on the strategic central Pacific archipelago are threatened at a time when the Obama administration is engaged in a major shift toward Asia as part of its military and diplomatic rebalance.
Michael Pillsbury, a Pentagon consultant and author of the recent book 100 Year Marathon, said Chinese military hawks, known as “ying pai,” told him they are ready to provide arms to Hawaiian independence activists in retaliation for U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.
“Beijing’s extraordinary sensitivity to American arms sales to Taiwan—even one bullet or a spare tire for a jeep—often provokes angry words,” said Pillsbury who has held talks with 35 Chinese generals in recent years."

BBC News - Greece: Greenspan predicts exit from euro inevitable:
"The former head of the US central bank, Alan Greenspan, has predicted that Greece will have to leave the eurozone.
He told the BBC he could not see who would be willing to put up more loans to bolster Greece's struggling economy.
Greece wants to re-negotiate its bailout, but Mr Greenspan said "I don't think it will be resolved without Greece leaving the eurozone".
Earlier, UK Chancellor George Osborne said a Greek exit would cause "deep ructions" for Britain.
Mr Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006, said: "I believe [Greece] will eventually leave. I don't think it helps them or the rest of the eurozone - it is just a matter of time before everyone recognises that parting is the best strategy
"The problem is that there there is no way that I can conceive of the euro of continuing, unless and until all of the members of eurozone become politically integrated - actually even just fiscally integrated won't do it.""

Third, the release of the president’s surreal, liberal dream-budget gives us a government blueprint that shows what he would do if he were King of America. It is almost Chavez-like in its confiscation of wealth, higher taxes, new borrowing and uninhibited spending. Obama wants to reach into the pockets of U.S. companies everywhere, raise taxes on just about every form of wealth and spend more and more on social schemes that corral citizens into the care of the state and freely heap new debt on future generations.
Presidents are supposed to lead, guide and convince. Instead, Obama makes excuses for our enemies, ignores economic reality and acts unilaterally.

Obama now claiming 1 in 5 women in America have experienced rape or attempted rape
Obama now claiming 1 in 5 women in America have experienced rape or attempted rape | WashingtonExaminer.com:
"“Right now, nearly 1 in 5 women in America has been a victim of rape or attempted rape,” President Obama said Sunday night in a message played during the Grammys.
“And more than 1 in 4 women has experienced some form of domestic violence.”
Wow, just wow.
Gone are the days that the president makes false claims that 1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted while in college. Now 20 percent of all women in America have been raped or nearly raped. And 25 percent of American women — not just college women — have experienced domestic violence.
Let’s just think about that for a minute.
The current population of the U.S. is 316.1 million, with women comprising about half.
That means there are about 158 million women and girls in the U.S.
If 20 percent of American women have been raped or almost raped, that’s a total of 31.6 million women, which is somewhere between the populations of Texas and California."

Archivist Discovers Lost 800-Year-Old Copy of the Magna Carta in Old Scrapbook | TheBlaze.com:"The Magna Carta outlined such principles as the right to a fair trial, limited taxation and the idea that no one, not even the king of England, was above the law. Historians believe that about 250 copies of the document were issued by the king to ensure the ideas were disseminated and carried out; between 17 to 24 are thought to still exist today."
