Yes. I've actually been down to Tippah County (and Ripley cemetery) - it's not too far from me here (in Memphis). At the time, I was locating more direct Whitten graves. I need to go back down there.

#Genealogy. I love going through old newspapers. There was a rabies outbreak in Memphis in 1931. My dad, aunt and grandparents all had to undergo rabies shots. Back then, they gave you multiple shots in your belly several times over the span of a week or weeks. My dad said it was painful.

Schumer put the nail in his own coffin and the Democratic Leadership. It's done. Just a matter of time. Ditto Centrists.
They have misread the moment and the rage of the people.
Trump and MAGA will continue playing them because they know they are weak.
@schumer.senate.gov YOU ARE DISGUSTING. You just sold us out for nothing. I'd say shame on you - but you are incapable of shame. You are not fit for the job you hold and remain a huge disappointment.
