ITALY IS DYING — AND THE NUMBERS ARE BRUTAL Italy just recorded its lowest number of births since 1861. Only 355,000 babies were born in 2025, while deaths reached 652,000 — a net loss of nearly 300,000 people in a single year. The total fertility rate has collapsed to 1.14 children per woman, far below the 2.1 needed to sustain a population. This isn’t a temporary dip. It’s a long-term demographic collapse that threatens Italy’s entire future: shrinking workforce, collapsing pensions, aging society, and disappearing regions. Without massive immigration, Italy’s population would be shrinking even faster. This is what happens when birth rates stay critically low for decades. Italy is the clearest warning sign for many other developed nations heading in the same direction.

Rep. Ogles drops the ultimate “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain” line: “I’ve seen UFO evidence so classified that just knowing it exists makes you a target.” He really tried to distract from the economy, the wars, and everything else by teasing aliens like it’s 2016 again. Nothing to see here, folks… except the little green men.
