Well I didn’t know what Woodbines were before reading this.

The mayor of Chattanooga seems to be actually engaged in restoring AMTRAK service. What about Metro?

Does anyone know whether Blackburn will apppear with Trump in Clarksville

Well done! Thanks for being on top of these things

It is interesting to see all the judges in the Federal Court here in Nashville recuse themselves from the Blackburn v Smith case. Even split of D and R judges. Smith is well known to all the judges because he used to be based here

The only person on TV right now asking for your vote for Governor is Hatley. This is going to eat into the Blackburn vote

Thanks. They were nice folks who ran the corner store

@mweinstock.bsky.social I used to know some Weinstock folks in Wilkes Barre. Your family?

Dyer county. Where men are men and sheep are scared!

Well back in the day there was a Sheriff in Dyer county who was caught in a hotel room with some sheep. Or so the story goes. Early 80’s timeline

The death penalty is not a public safety issue. It is a cultural war issue in the criminal justice arena. Certainly the death penalty is not a deterrent of crime. It adds an element of retribution that satisfies some people who desire vengeance.

For me the basic incompetence of the State is why they should not be involved in the death penalty. Starting with a real problem of getting a fair trial all the way through the process the chances of getting a just result are slim

The State of Tennessee as an entity does very few things with excellence. Parks for sure. Not much else. Environmental enforcement is poor. State higher education is ok at best. Roads are ok at best. Human services programs are poor. Prisons are horrible.

This is exactly why the State of Tennessee should not be in this business

The Nashville symphony situation is going to be a case study in non profit management. Illustrating how philanthropy can set up a situation which is unsustainable without ever expanding philanthropy. At some point they have to make it on their own.

Have you traveled overseas in the past two years? What have you to report about conversations you had with citizens of our traditional friendly countries?

A question for Marsha Blackburn. In the event that you return to your current position as Senator, will you vote to remove Trump when he is impeached by the House of Representatives?

They used to promote adaptive use of historical structures. I don’t know why that bridge is listed. I suspect it has some interesting engineering elements. If these factors are not changed or ruined the listed status might survive
