LEFT: Grok lying about what the Dems said

RIGHT: Chat GPT fact-checking Grok on what the Dems actually said

Bottom Line: Elon is building a weapon of mass disinformation and right wing propaganda in Memphis

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD β€œrestricted area” signs claiming the land for β€œthe commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧡 1/

I bought my son a Furby when they first came out. We opened it up and he said "it's kind of creepy mom" - it opened it's eyes and said "don't be scared". It went straight outside to the trash can.

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say According to Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges, officers started the three-day sting on Nov. 5. They used several methods to find people who were attempting to solicit a 17-year-old girl for sex.

"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

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.

circumstances surrounding her death. It looks as if the part at the bottom was added after the grave stone was made. I'm guessing that she might have died in childbirth - giving birth to triplets? She had 4 children that survived. I can't find any obit or news article.

Grave marker for Medora Rogers Whitten, a 1st cousin, 3x removed of mine.  The mystery is the part carved into the bottom that says "She and her 3 little ones rest in peace".

#Genealogy #stubbornmystery This is the grave marker for Pocahontas Madora Whitten (nee Rogers). It's kind of hard to see, but at the bottom there's a carving that reads "she and her 3 little ones rest in peace". She would have been 29 at her death and I can't find anything about the

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

#Genealogy A newspaper mention of when my dad was released from the Army after WWII. They were living in Buntyn Station at the time. 40 years later, I too would live in Buntyn Station when I was in Law School.

#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.

I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis.

And make health insurance affordable.

The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too.

I'm voting no.

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.
