Cost...

While marriage is often seen as an essential step in a successful life. 

Getting married is still “the most prestigious way to live your life.”  

Justice Anthony Kennedy once wrote, “Marriage responds to the universal fear that a lonely person might call out only to find no one there.

 It offers the hope of companionship, and assurance that while both still live there will be someone to care for the other.” 

The notion that marriage is the best answer to the deep human desire for connection and belonging—is incredibly seductive.   But whatever its benefits, marriage also comes with a cost."

 Sociologists found that marriage actually weakens other social ties. Compared with those who stay single.

Married folks are less likely to visit or call parents and siblings and less inclined to offer them emotional support or pragmatic help.

Single people, by contrast, are far more connected to the social world around them. On average, they provide more care for their siblings and aging parents. They have more friends. They are more likely to offer help to neighbors and ask for it in return. This is especially true for those who have always been single. Single women in particular are more politically engaged—attending rallies and fundraising for causes that are important to them—than married women

Struggling...

Fox News has been the most-watched cable news network for 70 consecutive quarters after finishing the second quarter of 2019 ahead of MSNBC and struggling CNN in both total day and primetime viewers -- as Sean Hannity crushed Rachel Maddow's show in the 9 p.m. ET hour.

Fox News averaged 2.4 million primetime viewers to rank as the most-watched network in all of basic cable from 8-11 p.m. ET. MSNBC came in second place with an average of 1.7 million, while TNT, ESPN, and HGTV rounded out the top five.

The lowly CNN finished fifteenth, averaging only 761,000 primetime viewers and finishing behind channels such as Discovery and the Food Network.

Fox News was the only basic cable network to average more than one million total-day viewers, finishing with 1.3 million to win the category for the 12th straight quarter. MSNBC finished second with 900,000, followed by HGTV, Nickelodeon and Investigation Discovery. CNN averaged only 525,000 to finish eighth overall.

Pledge..

With this ideology, not enough taxes collected from the rich and the poor Americans. So get ready for more taxes and less services.

Debate...

We have seen a sample of the failed debate. It showed one thing, these debaters are looking after themselves. They are ready to say any thing, any thing at all.

Heads...

Trump's visit with Kim was a moment that marked the first time a sitting US president has set foot in North Korea but it produced only an agreement between the two nations to restart talks about North Korea's nuclear ambitions. Schumer took issue with how little Trump received for a visit that he viewed as a concession.

Un-American...

The Democratic leadership are absent when it comes to important issues, but Chuck Schumer shows up to say he had Ice cream lychee.

Small Step...

On Sunday, Mr Trump became the first sitting US president to set foot in North Korea, accompanied by leader Kim Jong-un.

Mr Trump had earlier tweeted asking Mr Kim if he would like to meet while the US president was in South Korea.

On Monday, KCNA carried extensive coverage of the unprecedented meeting.

North Koreans rarely receive news of the outside world, and the heavily controlled media has depicted the US as its most hated enemy for decades.

Images of the US president walking into the North as a friend of Mr Kim will be an extraordinary sight for ordinary North Koreans.

Mr.Trump will achieve peace with the North Koreans by being a friend regardless what any politicians or advisors say. 

One small step for man.     Just a thought.
