    A piece by Kevin Williamson (who made his name writing for National Review and now is with The Dispatch) occasionally writes about his lower class rural (he would say white thrash) upbringing. I think he made his first appearance at TNCR with a famous piece (at the time) that criticized Vance’s book from the right, back when Vance’s book was being praised by the establishment left.

    Anyway this is nominally a critique of UFC on the White House lawn but more than anything a slice of life of Williamson as an eight year old in a dysfunctional home. Worth reading for that alone.

    Of Course We’re Fighting on the Lawn

    Stupid piece, but par for the course for this version of Kevin Williamson. I'd say AndreaB's whataboutism response is about perfect. I'll take the "cultural degradation" of a professional sporting event being hosted at the white house, over a trans pride parade. And that would be a strong majority opinion across America.

    I'm sure Kevin has white trash bona fides. But a sanctioned professional sporting event that happens to be combat-oriented is not an analogy for his shithole upbringing.

    Education is extremely important.

      The last desperate thrashings of a defeated regime.

      I was only joking
