The plot for children

Did you know the white birthrate has decreased due to a combination of economic factors like the Great Recession and the high cost of raising children, along with social and generational trends. These factors have led to women having fewer children, even as birth rates have also declined for other racial and ethnic groups, resulting in the white population experiencing natural decrease (more deaths than births) in the United States since 2016. I knew.

Did you know the fertility rate for non-Hispanic white women has been below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman for years. I didn't. Since 2016, more white deaths have been occurring than white births, a phenomenon known as "natural decrease." This is influenced by the aging population and rising mortality rates, which can be driven by factors like the opioid crisisBetween 1999 and 2016, the number of white births fell by 10.8 percent to 2,094,000 and the number of white deaths rose by 9.2 percent to 2,133,000. Other groups, such as Hispanic and Black populations, have younger average ages and higher proportions of women in their prime childbearing years. 

Their arrival at Plymouth in 1620 in search of religious freedom marked the start of large waves of whites coming to this land. When the U.S. was established as a country in 1776, whites comprised roughly 80% of the population. The white share rose to 90% in 1920, where it stayed until 1950.

On June 23, 1960, the FDA approved the sale of Enovid for use as an oral contraceptive. White women were 87% of its users. The birthrate from 3.7 children in 1970 went to 1.8 by 1980. By comparison, white women's average birth rate was 2.42 in 1970. The average number of children for white women varies by how it's measured, but recent data show it is around 1.83 children for women aged 40-44 and the total fertility rate (TFR) is approximately 1.75 births per woman, Bowling Green State University https://www.bgsu.edu/ncfmer/resources/data/family-profiles/guzzo-loo-number-children-women-aged-40-44-1980-2022-fp-23-29.html, The HillPrevious data from 2015-2019 indicated the mean number of children ever born to women aged 15-49 was 1.3, and the average number of children per white mother was about 2.3, Pew Research Center https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2015/05/07/family-size-among-mothers/, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

In the United States, abortion was legalized nationwide in 1973 with the Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade. This landmark decision established a woman's constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy during the first trimester. Non-Hispanic white women account for about 30% of abortions in the U.S., but this number can vary by state due to demographic differences. For example, in states with a larger white population, a higher percentage of abortions may be performed on white women. In contrast, the abortion rate is highest among Black women, according to the Pew Research Center. Black women account for the highest proportion of abortions, have the highest abortion rate, and make up the largest percentage of abortion patients in the U.S. This is largely due to factors like higher rates of unintended pregnancies, economic disadvantage, and unequal access to quality family planning services. Still the decrease in the White birth rate is concerning for the White population.

Pew Research Center fact sheet from June 2025, based on a survey conducted in April 2024, found that 60% of White adults support legal abortion in all or most cases. While this statistic is for all White adults, a related Pew survey from May 2024 notes that the difference in opinion between white men and women is modest. For context, that same survey found that 61% of men overall and 64% of women overall support legal abortion in all or most case.

I said all of this to show the concerns over the White population's decline has struck fear into the White lawmaker man. Yes, the non-Hispanic White population is on a long-term decline in the United States, with its share of the total population falling from 63.7% in 2010 to 57.3% in 2020. This is due to slower growth rates and recent absolute declines, while other racial and ethnic groups, such as Hispanic and Asian populations, are growing faster. The non-Hispanic White population experienced an absolute decrease for the first time in the 2010-2020 decade.   

Why else would this be happening? While the search results show that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has linked Tylenol (acetaminophen) to autism and has made unproven claims about male reproductive health, the results do not show he has specifically blamed Tylenol for low testosterone and sperm count in adults. His recent claims have centered on a link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism in children. White men need virility to produce children and can't with a low libido and sperm count. Now that abortion and soon contraceptives are off the table, men have to be ready to me the egg, or challenge. Kennedy can help with his crackpot ways. He was put in charge for a reason. He has the craziest task of all, making White babies. The Supreme did their part, now its Kennedy's turn.

Trump is championing himself as the father of IVF. He is making it affordable and covered by health insurance, removing any obstacle to conceiving a child. In February 2025, President Trump signed an executive order External aimed at reducing the cost of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The order directs the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy to provide Trump with a list of policy recommendations aimed at protecting IVF access and lowering out-of-pocket expenses and health plan costs. On March 26, during a Women’s History Month event at the White House, President Trump announced the formation of the Republican Women’s Caucus in Congress. While this announcement was separate from his IVF-related executive order, it reflects ongoing attention to reproductive issues in the political sphere.

President Donald Trump made an announcement Thursday (Oct. 16, 2025) from the Oval Office that EMD Serono will reduce the cost of fertility medication in effort to help make IVF more affordable. The new guidance will allow companies to offer fertility benefits separate from major medical insurance plans like they do with dental and vision plans, Trump said. The announcement includes three main components: discounted fertility medications, an FDA expedited review pathway for a new IVF drug and federal guidance encouraging employers to include IVF coverage in health insurance plans.

White men are doing everything in their power to increase the birthrate of White children. But what do the younger generation think about having babies? Millennials' desire for children is mixed, with many still wanting families but also delaying or choosing not to have them due to financial concerns, career focus, or personal preference. While a majority still see having children as an important part of a happy life, financial pressures like student debt and the high cost of living are primary reasons for delaying or foregoing parenthood, especially for those who want to prioritize career and financial stability first. While a specific "millennial" percentage is not consistently reported, data from similar age groups shows high birth control use, with over 60% of women of reproductive age using some form of contraception, and the birth control pill being a common method, although its use is declining while long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) and male condoms are very popular among millennials. For instance, about 19.5% of women aged 20–29 was using birth control pills, and 13.1% in that same age group were using LARCs. 

Looks like the White men in charge are going to have to sell having babies, many babies, as a good idea. IVF increases the number of eggs retrieved from a woman and they can be kept for years until needed. Trump will have access to many unfertilized eggs. Wonder if the man of morals can resist this quick and effective way to increase the White population? I don't know. He doesn't resist much that benefits him and a chance to be a savior. Until that part of the PLAN is activated, they are getting sperm counts up in teenage boys by some miraculous means, knew was low and birth control gone. Looks like a forced increase in the White population is at hand.

Studies show that average testosterone levels in men and boys have decreased over the past several decades, a phenomenon known as secular decline. While a gradual decline with age is normal, this population-wide trend is steeper and affects younger generations at the same age more significantly than their predecessors. 

For example, a 2020 study using U.S. data from 1999 to 2016 found that average testosterone levels declined in adolescent and young adult men, even when excluding those who were obese. Another study from 2007 found that testosterone levels in U.S. men were lower in 2002–2004 compared to 1987–1989, independent of age. 

Lower testosterone levels affect numerous aspects of men's health beyond reproduction, including, decreased muscle mass and strength, reduced bone density, increased body fat, erectile dysfunction and low libido, fatigue and low energy, and increased risk for chronic conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Lifestyle changes affecting testosterone include weight and diet: High rates of obesity, driven by sedentary lifestyles and poor diet, are strongly linked to lower testosterone. Excess body fat can increase the activity of the enzyme aromatase, which converts testosterone to estrogen. Physical activity: Decreased physical activity is a significant factor. Regular exercise, particularly strength training, helps support optimal testosterone production. Sleep: Poor sleep quality and chronic sleep deprivation can disrupt the body's normal hormone cycles and lower testosterone. Stress: Chronic stress increases cortisol, a hormone that can interfere with testosterone production. 

Environmental factors affecting testosterone levels include endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs): Exposure to chemicals that interfere with the body's hormones is a major concern. EDCs are found in many plastics (e.g., BPA and phthalates), pesticides, and personal care products. And pollution: Heavy metals from industrial pollution are also considered a potential factor.

The "Find Out" Stage of the Election (Voter Remorse)























How many of you are hearing people say, "I didn't know Trump was going to do _________ (fill in the blank)?

How many of you are not surprised by people saying they didn't BELIEVE Trump would do what he SAID he would do?

There is an anagram going around FAFO. I was today years old when I learned what it meant. (My apologies) but it means F*** around and find out. 

Welcome to the FIND OUT PHASE of the election, we entered it on day one. Trump meant what he said out loud and you probably can't even imagine the things he means that he DOESN'T say out loud. You're about to find out some of the things (revenge) he has for his opposition includes people who support him. Have you heard that rain falls on the just and unjust alike? Well, the same thing applies when s**t hits the fan, it flies on everyone.

Trump has turned out to be an equal opportunity issuer of PAIN and SORROW. Many MAGA supporters are suffering along with those TARGETED by Trump. As Trump threatens to cut off funds from Blue states, MAGA continues to back him even as they lose SNAP benefits and possibly health care. Their HATE is all consuming and self-destructive. The everyday person is willing to sacrifice themselves for billionaires. Churches, who are supported through tithes and offerings from working class America, will see their offering plates dwindle and billionaires are not tithing and giving offerings to these conservative Evangelical churches.

Exactly who WERE these Trump voters and WHO is suffering NOW?

VOTER REGRET is being voiced and there is little sympathy being had for those who voted to elect Donald Trump. MAGA farmers and teachers are regretting casting their ballot for Trump as he strips federal funding and shuts down aid programs. 

While Trump and Musk claim they ordered a 90-day freeze on USAID’s foreign aid spending to rein in wasteful spending, in actuality they’re hurting American farmers and other business owners who sell goods and services to USAID. American Farmers supply around 41% of the food aid that USAID and the U.S. Department of Agriculture send around the world, which amounted to $2.1 billion in food aid from American farms in 2020, the Washington Post reports. Other farmers who voted for Trump are angry about the president’s tariff plans that could lead to retaliation from China that could impact soybean and corn farmers’ ability to sell their crops — something that happened during the first Trump administration. Voter remorse.

In the weeks since President Donald Trump has assumed office, more than 200,000 federal workers at more than a dozen agencies have had their roles eliminated. There are attempts from Republican officials in states like Alaska, Virginia, Iowa and Florida to either acquire exemptions for certain government workers in their states or build aid packages for those already laid off. They got caught up in what they believe would only happen to others. 

Everyday people are going on record with their regrets. “Emily Anderson from Duluth, Minnesota, categorizes her vote for Trump this year as the ‘biggest mistake of my life, as she was appalled by his implementation of Guantanamo Bay as a holding facility in his immigration crackdown.

“When we said safer borders, I thought he was thinking ‘let’s stop the drugs from coming into the country,’” Trump voter Staci White said. “I didn’t know he was going to start raiding places. Now I’m like: ‘Dang, why didn’t I just pick Kamala?’”

Our allies are in being swept up in the FIND OUT stage of Trump's presidency. The tipping point came when Trump decided to upend years of U.S. policy by holding talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in hopes of ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Then, Trump special envoy for Ukraine and Russia on Saturday all but ruled out the inclusion of other Europeans in any Ukraine peace talks. This caused leaders of Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark and the European Union to meet at the Elysee Palace for talks on Europe’s security quandary. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte was also there.

LGBTQ voters were among the only demographic groups that did not move more toward Trump in the 2024 election. President Trump signed a far-reaching executive order requiring federal agencies to discriminate against transgender people by denying who they are.

Trump was able to make slight inroads with Black voters nationally, who made up about 1 in 10 voters across the country. Trump about doubled his share of young Black men – which helped him among key Democratic voting group. About 3 in 10 Black men under the age of 45 went for Trump, roughly double the number he got in 2020. Donald Trump won more Black voters than any Republican candidate was able to do in nearly fifty years, an analyst said Friday. Trump, once elected, launched an unprecedented attack on Black federal employees. On Wednesday (Jan. 22), workers received emails that threatened consequences if they did not report on co-workers who work in diversity, equity and inclusion positions that may have gone undetected by the federal government. 

Hispanic voters were more open to Trump than they were in 2020. Roughly half of Latino men voted for Harris, down from about 6 in 10 who went for Biden. Donald Trump won the vote of Hispanic men by one point (49 percent Harris – 50 percent Trump), a 35-point difference from 2020, when Joe Biden won the vote of Hispanic men by a 34-point margin. The starkest increase may have been the 14-percentage-point swing in Trump's share of Hispanic voters, according to an exit poll conducted by Edison Research. Some 46% of self-identified Hispanic voters picked Trump, up from 32% in the 2020 election when Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden. Mr. Trump instructed his administration to dramatically expand detention space inside the naval base to detain as many as 30,000 "high priority" unauthorized immigrants with criminal records. Since then, officials from across the government, including the Departments of Defense, State and Homeland Security, have scrambled to implement the president's directive. His ICE raids go beyond the criminal element. The Hispanic community is in hiding.

Poor people voted for Trump. According to exit polling in ten key states of the 2024 presidential election in the United States, 46 percent of voters with a 2023 household income of 30,000 U.S. dollars or less reported voting for Donald Trump. In comparison, 51 percent of voters with a total family income of 100,000 to 199,999 U.S. dollars reported voting for Kamala Harris. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump endorsed a House Republican budget plan that would impose hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid, a healthcare program jointly funded by federal and state money, which helps provide coverage for Americans with lower incomes, including pregnant women, children and people with disabilities, among others. The rich don't have poor people problems.

“We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated,” Trump has been quoted as saying. In an analysis of voters by education in states where exit or entrance polling is available, nearly half of those with high school diplomas or less schooling said they supported the billionaire. 56% of voters without degrees voted for President-elect Trump. Who cares about education anyway?

Dozens of "probationary employees" were let go from the Department of Education last Wednesday, according to two sources familiar with the firings. Dismantling the Department of Education was one of Trump's key campaign promises. He has slammed the department as a "con job" that should be "closed immediately," and has directed Musk to investigate the agency. The Department of Education is the smallest cabinet-level agency with 4,400 employees. Another 1,400 employees work in the agency's office of Federal Student Aid.

About six-in-ten registered voters who say they have served in the U.S. military or military reserves (61%) support former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, while 37% back Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a Pew Research Center survey. 63% of veteran voters identify with or lean toward the Republican Party, while 35% are Democrats or Democratic leaning. Loyalty matters to vets? More than 1,000 Department of Veterans Affairs employees have been dismissed from their roles, the agency said Thursday.

According to Social Security data, approximately 45% of beneficiaries aged 60 and older are identified as White Americans, meaning a significant portion of Social Security recipients are white individual. The new head of the Social Security Administration said Wednesday that deceased centenarians are “not necessarily receiving benefits,” contradicting claims that tens of millions of dead people over the age of 100 are getting payments from the agency made by Elon Musk. Who wants to live to a ripe old age anyway?

About 37% of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Food Stamps participants are white, according to a USDA report. Other SNAP participant demographics: 26% African American, 16% Hispanic, 3% Asian, 2% Native American, and 16% "race unknown. Using research from the Urban Institute (gathering data from 59 million people), the graph below presents the largest percentage of welfare recipients in 2019. The majority of recipients were white (43 percent), followed by Hispanic (26 percent), and Black (23 percent). During the 119th Congress, the Subcommittee will work with the Trump Administration to cut back on unnecessary government spending and empower American workers and families through reforms to the deficient welfare state.

Is there more? Can there be more? You bet.


White women have been the biggest beneficiaries of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, though DEI programs benefit many groups of people. Trump issued an executive order terminating "illegal DEI and 'diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility' (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the Federal Government, under whatever name they appear." You mean I can't check female anymore on a job application Mr. President?

Although women as a whole have historically voted for Democrats, white women have not. Instead, over the last 72 years, a plurality of white women has voted for the Democratic candidate only twice, in 1964 and 1996. On Tuesday, they once again went for Trump – just as they did in 2016 and 2020. Women are mothers who care for and nurture families. You wouldn't mess with families in any way would you Mr. President? The Department of Health and Human Services has also lost thousands of employees, including at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to the Associated Press. About 700 workers were fired from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), multiple sources told ABC News. At least 16 of the CDC cuts were to members of the World Trade Center Health Program, which critics said could put the health of 9/11 first responders at risk.

The Trump campaign leaned into targeting young men, as the former president publicly palled around with male YouTubers and podcasters, such as Joe Rogan, who make little space for women. This effort paid off. Exit polling indicated that there was a canyon-wide 16-point gender gap between young men and women, which is an increase from 2020. While women between the ages of 18 and 29 preferred Harris 58% to 40%, their male peers chose Trump 56% to 42%. However, compared to his last run, Trump did better with both young men (41% of them voted for him four years ago) and young women (33% in 2020). During Trump's campaign he told women he would protect them. He sided with anti-women men's groups to win votes people!

There is a lot to regret for the Trump supporter (even though he still has a large group of supporters, for now). Those who DID NOT VOTE for Trump are not taken by surprise. They believed the words that came out of his mouth and his actions they witnessed. They sounded the alarm and said, "DON'T VOTE FOR TRUMP!" They are not feeling voter's remorse but something akin to anger at those who were willingly ignorant of his plans for his presidency. Many are saying, "You get what you voted for," and keep it moving. Some are even delighting in the possibility of Trump supporters suffering for their choice. I'm just wondering how long will the FIND OUT STAGE last and how much more can it encompass. Never one to disappoint, Trump has told us once again who he is.

Donald Trump is receiving widespread backlash after he likened himself to a “king” on social media (Feb. 19, 2025) following his administration’s decision to rescind New York City’s congestion pricing program. “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!” This is the photo Trump uploaded with his tweet. FAFO!!!!
