As women have far fewer babies, the U.S. and the world face unprecedented challenges Far more families are choosing to have fewer β€” or no β€” children. Many countries, including the U.S., now face a rapidly aging population that could begin to shrink.

There's so much whining about the decline in native-born (white) babies, but hardly anyone seems to grasp the demographic consequences of stopping immigration. EVEN WITHOUT DEPORTATION, America would lose 1/3 of its population by 2100 without immigrants.

Close up shot of Sausage's face as she gazes upon a plate of food being held by the hand of the human's lap she is sitting in. Sausage is a dilute calico cat with a pink nose that has dark gray freckles along the top. A patch of white fur starts on the bridge of her nose, widens around her mouth, and extends down her neck to come to a triangular point at her mid chest, bordered by dark gray fur on her left shoulder and an orangish cream colored fur on her right. Her face is mostly dark gray, with a patch of orange on her forehead and white whiskers

We gotta stop calling people "geniuses" or "gifted". It ruins them. They destroy themselves finding out the hard way they arent indeed good at everything or finding out being smart aint enough to acquire or even sustain success or even being happy.

People hate admitting they were wrongβ€”especially when their mistake hurts someone they love. It takes self-reflection, selfless thinking, and the courage to do better.

This man’s wife was detained by ICE. He still backs Trump, no regrets. I wonder how their kids feel hearing that.

Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and other deep-red states are leading the pack in rural hospital closures. This is what happens when you gut Medicaid, reject federal dollars, and treat healthcare like a luxury.

You can’t blame β€œwoke” when there’s no ER for 100 miles.
