Fox News doc says not enough ’15 to 19′ year-olds are having kids: ‘The fertility is down’ - Lemmy.World

Fox News Senior Medical Analyst Marc Siegel made some eyebrow-raising comments lamenting that birth rates are down among teenagers aged 15 to 19. On Thursday, the National Center for Health Statistics reported that the U.S. fertility rate fell to another record low. The agency reported that the number of births per 1,000 women of childbearing age declined from 53.8 in 2024 to 53.1 last year. The latest figure represents a continuation of a decades-long decline in fertility rates. Siegel joined Friday’s edition of America’s Newsroom, where Dana Perino said that while the continuing trend is not surprising, “the numbers might feel a little shocking.”

I’m going nuts. I’m from Russia, and Russian officials say insane stuff, and then I read news from the US, and it’s the same shit, side view.

Why? Its insane, and it only gets worse. When I lived in the US during Tramp’s first term, it wasn’t that crazy, despite having± same names in high places. Now, it’s like another country, and too much alike my insane motherland. USA, you’re becoming what you hate the most!

Looneytunes, all of them. ☠️

Trump was not daring to go as far as now but most importantly he only learned what are the safeguards of rule of law and state institutions. So even if he tried, there were too many people in too many positions pushing back hard enough for him to hit a wall. So for his second term he used the Republican party to purge all those upright and reasonable people from all those administrative positions. As far as he could anyway. Also the Supreme Court has a solid Republican majority now, with judges that will go very far in rubber stamping previously considered unconstitutional stuff (maybe not everything but almost as much).

This will also not go away when Trump is finally going to hell. The destroyed structures are destroyed and the tech oligarchy teamed up with the thecoratic extremists behind him will take over control directly, via Vance or some other guy. It is a lot of the Russian playbook, translated for US cinema.

For ~40% of Americans, this isn’t true. They hate Democrats more.
