HILLBILLY

-
  One of the most frustrating things for me was watching Bill and Hillary Clinton getting away with murder during the eight years of their presidency and in the years since. Before he was even elected I told people that Bill and Hillary were two of the most corrupt people in America. I always included Hillary because they are interchangeable. They sold themselves as a tag team. The frustrating part was that no matter what facts or evidence of corruption were revealed,their poll numbers would go ever higher. Bill's sexual escapades were only one aspect of that corruption. The (Clintonista's), or the rabid Clinton supporters would always point to the good economy as if it somehow justified their wrongdoing. Never mind that Bill had little impact on the economy. I used to tell people that Clinton could rape a 4 year old on a live national television broadcast and his supporters would find a way to excuse his behavior. It would be blamed on Kenneth Starr or a vast "Right Wing" conspiracy.

 Even today the Clintonista's are still defending him. The following is from a Real Clear Politics article. Nina Burleigh dismissed Peter Schweizer, the author of the highly-anticipated upcoming book Clinton Cash, as a "right-wing hatchet man." Burleigh, for the uninitiated, is the reporter who infamously said she would be "happy to give [Bill Clinton] a blowjob just to thank him for keeping abortion legal." Although I am not a Trumpkin and have no plans to vote for the Donald, it is going to be fun watching him take on Hillary in the general election. The Teflon twins have met their match in Donald Trump. He is Super Teflon Man. Criticism of Trump only pushes his poll numbers and people are finally becoming wise to the lying and corrupt Hillary. As evidence of his Teflon skin even Trump acknowledged that he could "stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, okay? It’s like incredible." Everybody I talk to believes that Trump will lose against Hillary. I may live to regret these words but Trump will demolish Hillary and we will all have a ringside seat.

THE DEATH OF JAYNE MANSFIELD

Jayne Mansfield   Jayne Mansfield died way too young on June 29, 1967 at the age of 34 in a gruesome car wreck, She was killed instantly but contrary to urban legend she was not decapitated. Jayne was called the poor man's Marilyn Monroe. She had enjoyed about a four year stint of popularity on Broadway and in Hollywood from 1954 until 1958. Her career was in decline in the late 50's and early 60's but she was still popular in Europe and on the nightclub circuit. She took her last name from her high school sweetheart Paul Mansfield when she married him at the age of seventeen. Her second husband was a former Mr. Universe named Mickey Hargitay who was from Norway. The third and last husband was Matt Cimber. Mansfield was highly educated, attending Southern Methodist University, the University of Texas and U.C.L.A. She supposedly had an IQ of 163 and was called the smartest dumb blonde ever. Of course she couldn't be too smart. In 1966, a year before her death, while...

CARNTON PLANTATION

   My first association with the Carnton Plantation in Franklin was when I would see the old house while hunting for Civil War relics in the early 1970's. There is a subdivision near Carnton today in the area where I hunted when it was primarily farm land. I knew it was an antebellum home but I wasn't aware of how historic Carnton was. It was in a horrible state of disrepair and I have learned since then that a farmer was using the house as his hay barn. In 1977 the owner of the property donated the house and ten acres to the Carnton Association and they have done a fantastic job of restoring the plantation to it's former glory. Originally the McGavock's owned 1400 acres. It was built by Randall McGavock in the 1820's. He was mayor of Nashville and a close friend of Andrew Jackson and James K. Polk. Jackson on several occasions was an overnight guest in the home.    His son John took over the plantation in 1843 upon the death of Randall. In 1848 John mar...

The James brothers with their mother Zerelda James   Most everyone has heard of the notorious outlaws Jesse and Frank James, however; did you know that they lived in Nashville from 1875 until March 1881? Jesse's oldest son Jesse James Jr. was born in Nashville along with his sister Mary. Jesse Jr. was born at 606 Boscobel Street on August 31, 1875. Mary was born on West Hamilton Road in Bordeaux on July 17, 1879. Jesse Jr. went by the name Tim and as far as he knew his last name was Howard. He and his sister would not know their real last names until after Jesse was killed in 1882. Jesse and his wife Zerelda would also lose two male twins in infancy.  Jesse's brother Frank lived on Clarksville Pike. While living there he and his wife Annie Ralston James gave birth to a son named Robert Franklin on February 6, 1877. For a time he would be dressed as a girl and go by the name of Mary. Why his parents did this I do not know.  The brothers were on the run. Nashvill...
