    You know whats interesting to me? I work with two young (less than 20) women who had boyfriends in the Military. Both of them wanted to get married before their BFs were deployed in Afghanistan. One of them actually did get married and the other decided to wait because her BF ended up not being deployed.

    It sounds to me like those statistics are made from MANY young and naive people getting married for no other reason than they didn't want to wait.

    To be honest though, the girl who did get married had dated her boyfriend for several years prior and I think they have a good chance of staying married. The other girl, though, I was about 100% sure would end up divorced and pregnant real quickly after she got married. I was actually relieved when she said she wasn't getting married because she's a really nice girl, just not that smart.

    This entire situation makes me really upset at the Obamas and McCains of the world.
    No more IRS.
    I am now old enough to vote.

    This is odd, thought controversial SWC Allen West was on Fox news big pay roll:


    EXCLUSIVE — HOA to Allen West: We’ll Take Your House, Unless You Pay up!

    Posted by Jose Lambiet , September 6, 2013

    Former U.S. Rep. Allen West faced foreclosure in July when the HOA of his Weston development claimed he wasn’t paying maintenance fees (Special to Gossip Extra)

    As a Tea Party favorite, former U. S. Rep. Allen West doesn’t care much for the government, and even less for taxes.
    Apparently, Fox News Channel contributor West also has issues with the HOA of his development in Weston.
    The Fountain Spring Homeowners Association filed liens against West and his wife, ex-Florida Atlantic University Trustee Angela West four times — count’em, four! — in the past two years, records show.
    Why?
    The former U.S. Army lieutenant colonel’s not paying his maintenance fees for months at a time!
    In July, the HOA filed a lawsuit to have the house sold on the courthouse steps but dismissed the foreclosure attempt after he paid up on Aug. 20.
    West, who bought in the gate community in 2004 for $270,000, isn’t returning calls for comment.
    Public records show his property is being assessed $390 in fees per quarter.
    The HOA undertook foreclosure proceedings in July because West owed $964.50, including fees and penalties.
    Because of re-districting, West, 52, moved to a rented house in Palm Beach Gardens early last year so he could run for office in a mainly Republican area.
    He campaigned for a territory that stretched from the north side of Palm Beach County to the Treasure Coast, and was beaten for the seat by Democrat Patrick Murphy.

    Iraq , Siding With U.S. Foes Russia and Iran, Bombs ISIS ‘Terrorist Death Machine’ in Syria,

    By Tom O'Connor On 4/19/18

    Iraq conducted rare airstrikes in neighboring Syria on Thursday, highlighting an alliance that may further threaten U.S. interests in the region.
    On Thursday, the office of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced in a statement that "our heroic armed forces carried out deadly airstrikes on Thursday against positions of ISIS terrorist gangs in Syria by the Iraqi border." Iraq has mostly defeated the jihadis at home with outside help from a U.S.-led coalition and Iran, and the strikes come after Abadi said last week he may intervene against ISIS in Syria, where the U.S. and Iran were at odds over a seven-year civil war.

    "The strikes against ISIS gangs were conducted due to the risk posed by these gangs against Iraqi territory, and demonstrates the increased capabilities of our valiant armed forces in the pursuit and elimination of terrorism," Abadi's office said in a statement sent to Newsweek.
