Saturday, January 10, 2026, 8:25 AM Pacific Time
This morning the U.S. President announced he is withdrawing the United States of America from over 50 international climate change and population agencies.
"These agencies undermine sovereignty," President Trump said.
The Trump administration announced the U.S. will withdraw from 66 international organizations, including the United Nations (UN) population control agency and a UN treaty on climate change.
The Make America Great Again (MAGA) President said these agencies undermine sovereignty; further, they are wasteful and ineffective.

Its time to get back to families and making a home a priority for men and women
"The fertility divide is reshaping the world fast. Italy now at 1.20 births per woman (2023 UN/World Bank). US non-Hispanic whites at 1.64. Both far below the 2.1 replacement level. Nigeria sits at 4.48 and Egypt at 2.75.
This is not just statistics. It is a demographic tidal wave coming."
Referendum on immigration limit could threaten EU agreements and cripple economy, say Swiss businesses
Jon Henley at The Guardian:
Switzerland will vote this summer on a proposal from the far-right Swiss People’s party (SVP) to limit the country’s population to 10 million, a move that would threaten key agreements with the EU and, opponents say, cripple the economy.
The government said on Wednesday the referendum on the SVP’s “No to a 10 million Switzerland” initiative, which is strongly opposed by both chambers of parliament and the business and financial services community, would be held on 10 June.
The initiative would oblige the Swiss government and parliament to act if the country’s permanent population, currently 9.1 million, exceeds 9.5 million by denying entrance to newcomers, including asylum seekers and the families of foreign residents.
If the population reaches 10 million, further restrictions would come into force, and if numbers do not start to fall the government would be required to pull out of the free-movement agreement it has with the EU, by far its biggest export market.
Switzerland’s population has grown about five times faster than the average in surrounding EU member states over the past decade, as its economic success has attracted both low-skilled workers and highly paid corporate expats.
About 27% of Swiss residents are not citizens, according to government figures. The SVP, the country’s largest political party, says the “population explosion” is inflating rents and straining public infrastructure and services to breaking point.
The party, which has finished first in every election since 1999, has long campaigned against immigration, highlighting crimes committed by foreigners and posting images of bloody knives, hooded criminals, fists and frightened women.
The radical nationalist changes it frequently proposes, such as a 2016 proposal to automatically deport immigrants found guilty of even minor offences, and a 2020 plan to end free movement with the EU, have not generally fared so well.
Switzerland’s system of direct democracy allows citizens to propose so-called popular initiatives that are put to a plebiscite if they get 100,000 backers in 18 months. They are a long-favoured tool of the SVP, but only about 10% of popular initiatives pass.
Switzerland is set to vote on a colossally insane proposal from the far-right Swiss People’s Party to cap the country’s population to 10m.
Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, has called for an all-Russian ban on “encouraging women to have abortions” in order to combat the demographic crisis
“As a member of the clergy, I testify that an abortion is a disaster and a tragedy for the woman and those close to her,” Kirill said in January, per the BBC.
Putin sees it as “an acute problem,” per the BBC. Kirill says anti-abortion policies are the solution.
