Evangelical infant mortality is about 2.95 times as high as non-Evangelical. This is probably due to 93% of the Evangelicals who rely on prayer for health care. I blame the ministers who use that promise, probably to increase $ contributed. I am mean but not as mean as them. See more at ALT. 🧪💡☠️

It’s how a sociopath thinks and speaks in the face of a tragedy. He has no idea how to react because—and I mean this literally, not figuratively—he actually doesn’t care. He’s just trying to figure out what a normal human adult would say, though candidly I’m not sure he much cares about that either.

To be clear—speaking as a Trump biographer—the chances it’s being moved because Trump is concerned about the safety of the crowd in frigid temps is...zero.
