KIDS THESE DAYS: Millennials Are Causing the U.S. Divorce Rate to Plummet. “They’re waiting until all is secure before tying the knot.”
New data show younger couples are approaching relationships very differently from baby boomers, who married young, divorced, remarried and so on. Generation X and especially millennials are being pickier about who they marry, tying the knot at older ages when education, careers and finances are on track. The result is a U.S. divorce rate that dropped 18 percent from 2008 to 2016, according to an analysis by University of Maryland sociology professor Philip Cohen.
Improving on Boomers’ divorce rates is a low hurdle, but this is still good news.
BOMBSHELL: Two Men Tell Judiciary Committee They Did It, Not Kavanaugh. “Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have reportedly conducted two interviews.”
YES. The Kavanaugh Battle Is The Culmination Of Unanswered Leftist Kulturkampf.
Consider the Democrat game. As Andrew McCarthy pointed out in his superlative essay, in the history of recent judicial nominations it has been only Republicans showing bipartisanship for Democrat-nominated judges. Why? Because conservative instinct dictates judging a person by merit.
How was that paid in return? Robert Bork was blocked, Miguel Estrada was blocked (which led his wife to suicide), and Samuel Alito was filibustered. What did Republicans give in return? Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Brayer, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor sailed through, until Merrick Garland was finally stopped, and then not based on his judicial philosophy but timing.
Even then, the process was within the letters of the law, unlike the coordinated character assassination against Kavanaugh, or the public humiliation of Judge Amy Coney Barett during her circuit court confirmation. As McCarthy writes, “Republicans have defeated Democratic nominees, but they never Bork them. They never demagogue Democratic nominees as sex offenders, racists, or homophobes. There are no ‘Spartacus’ moments.”
This is common sense, but something Republican leadership apparently fails to understand.
The time to answer it is now. Hold the vote.
WELL, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU KNOW: Japan is developing supersonic glide bombs to defend remote islands.
Garren Mulloy, an associate professor of international relations at Japan’s Daito Bunka University and an authority on defence issues, said the new weapon would be designed to complement the cruise missiles that the Japanese military has already deployed.
“Up until now, the Japanese have been very short of these precision-guided munitions, especially in comparison to the US, Nato or the Russians, so it comes as no surprise that they want to look into these sorts of weapons,” he said.
The weapons are expected to be deployed aboard mobile, land-based launchers.
Given Tokyo’s concern over the possibility of China occupying the Diaoyu Islands – the archipelago in the East China Sea that Tokyo controls but Beijing claims – it is possible that the first units would be deployed on islands within range of that potential flashpoint.
I’ve joked for years that if you want to see the future of Japan, picture a mountainside geriatric facility guarded by those flying sentinel robots from The Matrix.

LIBEL LAWYER LIBBY LOCKE NAILS IT: One of the lawyers who held Rolling Stone accountable for their agenda-driven smear on a college administrator sees commonalty with the bizarre attacks on Judge Kavanaugh.
“Within hours of being accused of an unsubstantiated and uncorroborated three-decades-old assault, Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s reputation as a highly respected jurist with an unblemished personal record was permanently damaged. Many rushed to declare Judge Kavanaugh guilty merely because he had been accused. Democrats all too happily called for him to withdraw his Supreme Court nomination, while his accuser’s lawyer basked in the left’s glory for slowing a Supreme Court nomination that seemed a sure thing.”
As the Professor says, “Read the whole thing.”™
