‘The Family…Is Falling Apart’: Author Says ‘State Polygamy’ Is Putting America in Danger
With “state polygamy,” Tucker recently wrote for Human Events, lower-income women find themselves “free to pursue men on purely reproductive grounds — mating with men who are attractive or intelligent and otherwise have ‘good genes’ without having to worry about getting them to settle down as husbands.” The results, Tucker said, have been disastrous.

Soros doubles a bearish bet on the S&P 500, to the tune of $1.3 billion
Within Friday’s 13F filings news was the revelation that the firm, founded by legendary investor George Soros, increased a put position on the S&P 500 ETF /quotes/zigman/714403/delayed /quotes/nls/spy SPY 0.55%by a whopping 154% in the fourth quarter, compared with the third.

San Miguel (Chaparrastique) volcano (El Salvador): increasing volcanic unrest
Warning signs of a possible new eruption of the volcano in the near future are becoming increasingly alarming. Accompanied by an ongoing earthquake swarm, tremor (as an indicator of internal pressure) continues to climb.

Mount Hood Study Suggests Dormant Volcanoes Quickly Become Active
The evidence comes from a study of Oregon’s 11,249-foot-high Mount Hood. The team found that the magma located roughly three miles beneath the surface of the volcanic mountain has been stored in near-solid conditions for thousands of years. However, they say that it takes just a significantly short period – perhaps as little as a few months – for said magma to liquefy and potentially lead to an eruption.

Capital One Now Makes House-Calls Says It Can Show Up At Cardholders’ Homes, Workplaces
Ding-dong, Cap One calling. Credit card issuer Capital One isn’t shy about getting into customers’ faces. The company recently sent a contract update to cardholders that makes clear it can drop by any time it pleases. The update specifies that “we may contact you in any manner we choose” and that such contacts can include calls, emails, texts, faxes or a “personal visit.” As if that weren’t creepy enough, Cap One says these visits can be “at your home and at your place of employment.” The police need a court order to pull off something like that. But Cap One says it has the right to get up close and personal anytime, anywhere.

Nuclear talks between Iran and world powers move to the next level Tuesday as negotiators begin work on an ambitious lasting accord to silence for good fears about Tehran's atomic ambitions.
