The Fredos of the world unite
If Chris Cuomo were a Michael and not a Fredo, he would have punched that guy right in the kisser just like Buzz Aldrin punched that guy who called him a coward, a liar and a thief. But he didn't. He backed down, just like the guy hurling the insult backed down. This is snowflake America.

Rumor has it Kevin Williamson took a dumbasstical to write his new book
THE SMALLEST MINORITY: SHITWEASEL THINKING IN THE AGE OF MOB POLITICS
To Kevin Williamson and National Review conservatism is materialism, and you damn families and your schools in Kentucky and Oklahoma are the problem
It's Kevin Williamson with the mulish refusal to consider and deal with the world as we actually find it. You can spend decades trying to beat the nesting instinct out of mothers but all you'll have to show for it in the end is a different set of mothers to replace them, and a different country. Conservatives would prefer to stick with the one we've got. Libertarians should move . . . out.

Job Security Is Not Coming Back:
[I]t is better that we are not governed by poets. Our policymakers must deal with the world as it is, and our schools and families should prepare children for the world as it is, not as we might wish it were. Imagination and creativity are ... a mulish refusal to consider and deal with the world as we actually find it.

The surfeit of moisture first from snow and then from rain in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 2019 year-to-date is characteristic of much of the continental United States, more than 80% of which isn't even abnormally dry at the height of summer at the end of the first week of August 2019. Drought is isolated to pockets making up less than 5% of the Lower 48, particularly near Seattle.
