Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), voiced grave concerns about declining birth rates and the future of the US during the second part of his exclusive interview with Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier on Friday.
Speaking on Special Report, Musk warned that the world's falling birth rates could have catastrophic consequences. “The birth rate is very low in almost every country, and unless that changes, civilisation will disappear,” he said. He cited the US and South Korea as examples, noting that efforts to reverse the trend have so far failed. “Nothing seems to be turning that around. Humanity is dying,” Musk added.
In addition to demographic concerns, Musk expressed apprehension over America's position as the linchpin of Western civilisation. “America is the central column that holds up all of Western civilisation,” he said. “If that column fails, it’s all over. You can’t run off to New Zealand or some other place. It’s over.”

Humanity isn’t dying, it’s reverting to type.
Musk is correct. The United States is what stands between Western Civilization and the abyss.
Russia should ally with us to fend off China and the rest, but Russia has 75 years of Atheistic Communism to shake off, and they have been unable to do so.
Our Lady has committed to delivering Russia.
Democrats are quick to claim all cultures are equal, and places like the Islamic controlled Middle East, Communist China, etc. are just as enlightened as we living in Western Civilization. But would they ever consider moving there? Not a chance. The “democracy” they claim they represent has no value to them except when they suddenly don’t have it.
Which lady? And delivering to whom?
Birth Control = Death Control
Whatever the heck that means......
Nigerians! We’ve got ever more Nigerians to replace us!
He’s undoubtably correct about that. The sad thing is Western Civilization should have two very strong columns instead of just one. Europe actually has more people. They just can’t seem to ever get their act together. By and large, they are just squandering the very rich cultural inheritance built up over the last 2000 years by their ancestors.
Its not only the declining birth rates. Its not only the fact that they can’t field a decent military between them. Where is European high tech? All of it is all American. Look at the largest companies overall. Its dominated by American companies. Two World Wars seemed to have just sucked all the life and dynamism out of Europe. Its sad.
Their 15% Muslim population may give Russia a bad case of the shakes in the near future.
Actually, it’s JudeoChristian values that are the foundation that is the central column, but it’s true America has been the modern standard of those values, along with England. Even though there is plenty of sin here, it still is the most Godly nation on earth.
I doubt Elon Musk or DOGE can do much to counter declining birth rates. We’ve hit record low births per 1000 at 1.61 (a rate sufficient to simply replace the existing population is thought to be 2.1.)
And white births are in sharpest decline. In 2021-203, only 31.7% of live births in Texas were white babies.
What’s it going to take to lift birth rates? Ultimately, the short answer is very simple... it all boils down to young women wanting to be moms. The diificult question is how do we get there? Especially in a culture that celebrates lesbianism and hedonism in general (e.g., “wouldn’t you rather be out partying with your friends than wiping some little brat’s snotty nose?” — what they don’t mention is that 60 years from now that “little brat” will wiping your drool while your friends are all dead or MIA).

Atheism or paganism cannot.

-————————————————————————————— It is why we used to celebrate motherhood. Remember American as motherhood and apple pie?
The left has demonized motherhood. There are still many young women who want to be mothers. Their cultures and children will replace those who do not.
It may take a generation or two.
spare us, MR
This might sound insane, and it’s a Swiftian sort of “modest proposal,” but I think that single women 18-40 should be prohibited from owning dogs. Hear me out... where I live (San Francisco)... I see countless young, childless women out walking their dogs, babying their dogs, etc. Clearly a maternal instinct is being partially fulfilled by pooch ownership. Take that away, and maybe these gals might get more interested in having a real human kid.
Oh good grief.
