Yes, and apparently, Ruesterholz has been hanging around Putin and studying Russia’s own ‘pay to have more babies’ program......

The majority of women in the United States having babies are not married. An incentive to get married and stay married is a good thing.

The very last thing Democrats want is married people making more babies.

The next-to-last thing Democrats want is people getting married.

The Democrats do want gay folks to get married and adopt children—let us be fair here....

A friend of mine told me back in the 80’s that, in the long run, we’re doomed because “they” are outbreeding us. I think he was right.

"Instead, Pay Married People To Have More Babies"

Democrats have been fighting such attempts for generations and trying to give preferences to singles instead. Divide and conquer.

Increase the per-child exemption to 10% of taxes, per child.

You don’t pay taxes? You don’t get a per-child incentive.

It also used to be the case that middle-class families could hire nannies from the poor. Now they go on welfare instead.

Yes. Feminists have been misogamist from the beginning. Even Susan B. Anthony tried to talk women around her out of marriages with men.

...unless they are two men or two women, in which case the Democrats are all for marriage.

Why not; since we already pay the UNMARRIED ones to do so!

Let me suggest that we merely quit making it LEGAL to KILL unborn ones!

‘The final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan will be about Marriage and the Family.’ Don’t be afraid, she added, because whoever works for the sanctity of Marriage and the Family will always be fought against and opposed in every way, because this is the decisive issue.”

While Trump's policies addressed income stagnation, this is only half of the problem facing Americans, who struggle to raise families given ever-rising costs.

Not to worry; as Biden's 'policies' will SURELY lower them!!


Besides; when the flood of illegals oops; masses - yearning to be free - start pouring through the gaps in our southern border(?) soon after day's festivities in DC; THEY will insure that the population of babies are vastly augmented.

Younger, growing societies tend to be more dynamic and innovative.

That's EASY to fix!!

Let Covid knock off all of these OLD, useless eaters and we shall rebound nicely!

The 15 promises

(Given to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche)

1Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive powerful graces.
2.I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.
3.The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies
4.It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
5.The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.
6.Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying Himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise Him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.
7.Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.
8.Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise.
9.I  shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
10.The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
11.You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
12.All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
13.I  have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death
14.All who recite the Rosary are my children, and brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ.
15.Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

 

"The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem,

no matter how difficult it is, wheter temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families...that cannot be solved by the Rosary.

There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary."

Sister Lucia dos Santos
