They say they want Americans to have more babies. What's beneath the surface?
Pronatalists believe that modern culture has failed to adequately prioritize the value of nuclear families and making lots of babies. They see powerful potential allies in Elon Musk and JD Vance.

Elon's involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race cost his candidate around 5% of the vote--even though he spent $25 million dollars on his behalf.
Elon's endorsee ran 5 points behind the other statewide Republican candidate. That's an unbelievably negative return on investment.

The correct name is the Gulf of Mexico. The re-naming is not done to correct the historical record, but rather to reflect the arrogance and hubris of, and to avoid retribution by, the current wannabe dictator.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
