I just read a headline where Corker apparently said something like “Too bad the White House has become an assisted living home” or something like that. Didn’t bother to click on it, thought I might run across a reference to it sooner or later. Corker will not win the Twitter battle with Trump, if that’s what it’s about.

Revolutionary war was against England. The North and South fought in the Civil War.

Read this again.

A lot of the families living around Knoxville, at the time, were directly related to Revolutionary War vets and were very patriotic. When the rest of Tennessee went for the South, they remained with the North.

First up was incumbent Senator Bob Corker (R-TN), who made a surprise announcement on September 26 he would not run for re-election, one day after a Breitbart News report about his sweetheart deal in an Alabama retail center development in which Alabama taxpayers are set to pay him more than $3 million over 20 years in sales tax incentive rebates. Though his announcement that he would not seek re-election was couched in terms that claimed it had been made “[a]fter much thought, consideration and family discussion over the past year,” its suddenness–and the fact that Corker felt compelled to offer a lame and incomplete explanation for his investment in a deal that epitomizes the swamp in which the political elite thrive–underscores the potency of the Breitbart News report.
The corrupt liar hoist by his lying tongue. Thanks PJ-Comix.

Got their start in VA. This pick is unknown, maybe Knoxville.

That’s all right. The college I went to taught me very close reading.
