“Since 2000 we have added 49 million people to our population.”

How many of that are Beaners and Muslims?

Well it’s a combination of secularism and feminism. It’s pretty hard for a guy to commit to marriage nowadays, especially if there’s a 50% chance that a woman will take him to the cleaners.

No, it did not just happen. This is last year’s birth numbers.

You have to really dig into the article to see the actual number of births which was 3.79 million babies born in 2018 is 2% below last year’s 3.99 million. A decline in actual births does not always equate to a rising or declining birth or fertility rate. They are a function of the number of woman 15 to 50 the rates are being functioned on.

The article explains the difference in the two.

While birth rate compares the average number of births during a year per 1,000 people in a population, total fertility rate is defined as the expected number of births that a group of 1,000 women would have in their lifetimes, according to what birth rates were by age for that year.

To answer an above question about illegals, it would include most of them depending on how the mother listed their residence.

The CNN article notes:

From 2017 to 2018, the birth rate dropped 7% among teenagers aged 15 to 19; 4% among women 20 to 24; 3% among women 25 to 29; and 1% among women 30 to 34, according to the report.
The birth rate rose 1% among women aged 35 to 39 and 2% among women 40 to 44. The rate for women 45 to 49, which also includes births to women 50 and older, did not change from 2017 to 2018.

The first stat is a really good thing and continues a trend that started after the tv show “16 and pregant”.

It’s probably already too late.
The fallout from the death spiral in the BIRTHRATE here has the America WE knew as kids headed for the ash bin of history in 20 years.

Great job, M. We know that putting this down sequentially and expositorily takes a lot of time and involves tiring eustress. This thought comes to mind:

Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 AV:

9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. 
11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. 
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. 
However, you and I know that the natural, soulish, mulish human does not and can not grasp such a didactic exposition of the deep things of the Spirit of God, even though it is clear to the regenerated faithful followers of The Great Shepherd. They do discern the correct instruction and application of these spiritual nuggets of Biblical truth. It is not foolishness to them, but real nourishing spiritual food.

Thank you for publishing your labors on this topic.

To your faithful readers:

Hebrews 13:20-21 AV:

20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
