The median age of the U.S. population hit an all-time high of 38.0 in 2017, according to data released by the Census Bureau on Thursday.

The number of people in the United States who were 100 years old or older also hit a record in 2017, according to the Census Bureau data, climbing to 86,248.

The Census Bureau each year publishes estimates of the median age and year-by-year ages of the U.S. population as of July 1 of the previous year.

"The nation as a whole experienced a median age increase from 37.2 years to 38.0 years during the period from 2010 to 2017," the Census Bureau said in a press release.

Poll finds massive public support for Trump's push to end catch-and-release

Democrats are converting their emotional protests against "family separation" into unpopular calls for the catch-and-release of many Central American migrants into ordinary Americans' jobsites and schools.

The pre-election, pro-migration push is a huge risk, according to a poll by The Economist and YouGov which shows 3:1 public opposition to the Democrats's catch-and-release policy. That opposition to catch-and-release was reinforced by President Donald Trump's June 20 Executive Order to keep families together in detention until their appeal is decided by a judge.

Many Democrats are pushing their demand that migrants caught at the border be quickly released into Americans' workplaces and schools. Family detention "does not solve the problem," New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand told reporters. "Indefinite detainment of families is also inhumane - these children should be in school," she told TheHill.com.

MSM's tools of the trade: Atrocity porn and Hitler memes target Trump for regime change?

American and global audiences have been bombarded with media images of wailing children in holding facilities, having been separated from adults (maybe their parents, maybe not) detained for illegal entry into the United States. The images have been accompanied by "gut-wrenching" audio of distraught toddlers screaming the Spanish equivalents of "Mommy!" and "Daddy!" - since, as any parent knows, small children never cry or call for their parents except in the most horrifying, life-threatening circumstances.

American and world media have provided helpful color commentary, condemning the caging of children as openly racist atrocities and state terrorism comparable to Nazi concentration camps and worse than FDR's internment of Japanese and Japanese-Americans. Indeed, just having voted for Trump is now reason enough for Americans to be labeled as Nazis.

Ex-Vatican diplomat sentenced to 5 years in prison for watching child porn

A former Holy See diplomat has been sentenced to five years in prison for possessing child pornography, in the latest scandal to rock the Catholic Church.

Tribunal President Giuseppe Dalla Torre delivered the verdict on Saturday, ending a two-day trial during which defendant Monsignor Carlo Capella admitted to viewing images from his phone, an iCloud, and Tumblr account.

Capella, 51, asked for leniency during the trial, claiming the child pornography was just a "bump in the road" of his career as a priest, which he loved and wanted to continue. He said the images were viewed and shared during a period of "fragility" due to a personal crisis sparked by a job transfer to the Vatican Embassy in Washington DC.

It was never part of my priestly life before," he told the court, as quoted by Reuters. He added that after arriving in the US, his first four months were "bland" and he felt "empty" and "useless," the Catholic News Agency reported.

Drone footage released by authorities in Iowa shows oil spreading across flooded fields following a devastating train derailment. Dozens of damaged cars are seen piled on the broken train tracks near the Rock River.

The 33-car freight train carrying oil from Alberta, Canada, derailed on Friday morning near Doon in Lyon County, Iowa. The BNSF Railway Company has not revealed how much oil the tankers were carrying, and said it doesn't know how much oil has leaked, but that a clean-up is underway.

A $57 million defamation lawsuit has been filed against National Public Radio over their 2017 report that accused Texas-based financial advisor Ed Butowsky of colluding with President Donald Trump and Fox News to plant stories about slain DNC staffer Seth Rich.

Butowsky is the man who offered to assist the family of Rich with the cost of hiring a private investigator. The family is now suing him for alleged conspiracy theories over the murder of their son.

In addition to NPR, Butowsky's lawsuit also names their media correspondent David Folkenflik, and is said to be the first of several defamation suits Butowsky plans to file over the coverage.

Libs alarmed at number of conservative judges being appointed

'It oftentimes depends on whose ox is being gored...'

Congress held a hearing on Thursday to address the overburdened judiciary, made so by growing caseloads and not enough approved judicial nominees.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Ohio, described the judiciary's predicament as a "crisis point." Several federal districts are unable to keep up with the growing number of cases filed in both the civil and criminal courts, he said.

And while Republicans are gradually filling the empty seats left during former President Barack Obama's time in office, the legal system is still struggling.

Judge Lawrence Stengel testified before the House Judiciary Committee, and said Congress needs to approve new judgeships.

"It has now been 15 years since the last judgeship was established," he said. "For the 27 district courts the conference has recommended new judgeships for, the average waited filings are 577 per judgeship. Twenty courts have about 500 waited filings, six above 700, and one above 1,000."

Maajid Nawaz: Case study of an (ex) status-driven extremist?

Comment: Nawaz was recently awarded $3.4 million in a settlement with the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC had labeled Nawaz an "anti-Muslim extremist" in one of their reports. They subsequently removed the report, and posted an apology to Nawaz and his think tank. That's the good news - the SPLC stifles free speech like no other. But with Nawaz back in the news, it's worth taking a closer look at the man; thus, this Vridar report from 2 years ago.

Unlike his inspiration Barannikov, however, Mirsky was unable to contain himself: he told everyone who would listen that he was the attempted assassin. . . . Soon [the police arrested him].

Only a few weeks later, Mirsky was already betraying his comrades from People's Will and writing humble petitions to the czar. His loyalty to the radical movement evaporated completely; there is even evidence he was recruited to serve as an informant for the prison authorities. . . .

Barannikov sought the thrill of adventure; Mirsky status. The two kinds of motives are often linked in experience and can be linked in theory. Gang activity is a familiar setting where certain young men seek status. In an earlier post in a series addressing factors that attract persons to extremist radical groups, Terrorists on Status Seeking Adventures, I did not discuss Mirsky. But this morning I caught up with a detailed investigation into another (ex)Islamist radical I have posted on a few times and am struck by some similarities.

The contemporary example of someone who was driven by a pursuit for social status in his involvement in an extremist Islamist group appears to be Maajid Nawaz.

Poll: Confidence in Trump to deal appropriately with Mueller probe split on party lines, age ranges

Special counsel Robert Mueller following a meeting with Senate Judiciary Committee members at the U.S. Capitol in June 2017.

As special counsel Robert Mueller's inquiry into Russian involvement in the 2016 election continues, most Americans express confidence in him to conduct a fair investigation. But the public is far less confident in Donald Trump to handle matters related to the investigation appropriately.

Republicans and Democrats offer starkly different assessments of Mueller's conduct of the investigation and Trump's ability to deal with it, and these partisan differences extend to views of the importance of the investigation itself.
