Trump wants to fire a bunch of weather forecasters as tornado season ramps up. Of course Trumpets still love him as their homes blow away. And it is only February. The worst months are yet to come.

I come from a long line of rednecks, Scots-Irish folks who bucked the establishment. From the Scottish Covenanters standing up to the bishops, to Appalachian miners organizing against the owners, to poor Southern farmers who survived by helping each other.

I appreciate that some use the term as a pejorative. For me, it's just my heritage.

..."tornado alley" states are going to see higher insurance premiums as a result of the cuts. All insurers depend on reports from the National Weather Service in building in the planned catastrophe losses. Without reliable reports...they will be forced to raise rates. And if states object...they pull out. Leaving the burden on state plans...and costing tax payers.
