I’m one of those descendants you speak of, and pissed off doesn’t begin to describe it. What amazes me more than anything is how little anger there is on the lib side iabout the lack of money and transformers to help those people as it was all sent to Ukraine and Israel. Great writing as usual Jim!

Where are you descended from? I'm from Johnson County, TN people and proud of it. I once had a woman (girl, really, as she was clearly a snot) say to me, "I bet you hate having that history" after I mentioned my forebears. I set her straight right away.

Most recently, mid-19th century my folks were in Maury County. That was where my great-grandfather was born and raised. He's the fella who took my branch to Texas.

I can guarantee there'd be a whole lot of anger and outrage if the hurricane victims were people of color, but since most are white, and Republican voters, hence the apathy.
