I was born in 1972. The replacement rate he's panicked about has been below 2.1% for almost every year of my life.
If you're really worried about the population falling, giving immigrants a path to citizenship is an obvious and easy solution.
Unless there's ... something about them you don't like?

RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."

It’s important to remember that FIFA didn’t give the U.S. the 2026 World Cup as a pivot from the “bad” countries that hosted previously.
The U.S. is hosting the 2026 World Cup because it is one of the bad countries.

FIFA effectively agreeing the Donald Trump and remove cities from World Cup hosting with this statement. He suggested yesterday Gianni would agree with whatever he wanted.

If Major League Soccer doesn’t care enough to watch their own games in order to write about them, why should we watch their games?
As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

So well done by Morrissey on this. For lower level teams in any sport, a lack of consistency might be the only thing holding them back from achieving their full potential. That applies to the technical and commercial both.
Winning year over year in the USL Championship is incredibly difficult. What differentiates the clubs that are able to do it?
For Backheeled, I spoke to Danny Cruz and Todd Dunivant to break down what makes the league's most consistent organizations tick.

Kristi Noem’s message to the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny for the halftime show:
“The NFL sucks and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe…”

Putting the Heritage Foundation functionality in charge of the Department of Ed and nuking PBS/NPR and replacing them with Prager U videos is going to salt the earth of the culture of public and civics education for a generation
They spent a whole generation incubating parallel shadow institutions. Now those shadow organizations are seizing control of the established ones.

Personal growth and improvement is a true sign of an individual seeking to improve situations. Continuous improvement is key to advancement.
Feeling embarrassed by your past work is not a sign of incompetence. It’s a mark of growth.
Regretting your prior decisions doesn't reflect poor judgment. It reveals new insight.
Cringing at your old opinions doesn't display ignorance. It demonstrates an open mind.

The GOP platform for the last 40 years has been to ensure uneducated people believe they are better off than someone else. Keeping their voters undereducated and lacking a world view starts with pushing being a teacher further and further down the desirable job list.
