JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A look at how African Americans traveled during the Jim Crow era in the U.S. is on display at the Two Mississippi Museums in downtown Jackson. The Negro Motorist Green Book, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition, opened Saturday at the venue, which is part of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, a Smithsonian affiliate. It includes artifacts from business signs and postcards to historic footage, images and firsthand accounts to convey not only the apprehension felt by Black travelers but also the resilience, innovation and elegance of people choosing to live a full American existence, officials said. Mississippi artifacts include items from the historic Riverside Hotel in Clarksdale and Hotel E.F. Young Jr. in Meridian. Two Mississippi Museums director Pamela D.C. Junior said she was ecstatic to have the exhibit housed at the venue. “During the Great Migration families moved across the U.S., thus the necessity to travel and visit relatives … [Read more...] about Smithsonian’s traveling Green Book exhibit opens in Jackson

Restaurants & Bars With the first bakery in South Tampa, the owners are excited to open across the bridge. Amy Good , Neighbor Posted | Updated Reply CLEARWATER, FL — When Maureen and Chip Funk opened their first bakery, Nothing Bundt Cakes , in South Tampa four years ago, they knew they would eventually want a second location so that each of them could be "all in" on the business. “After 32 years in corporate information technology, I was really excited about sharing joy through everyday occasions,” said Maureen. “With the opening of our bakery in Clearwater, Chip has been able to leave the corporate life as well to run the two bakeries with me, and it has been such fun to be able to work together each day.” The Funks are thrilled to be in Clearwater and to see many guests who used to visit them at their South Tampa … [Read more...] about Clearwater Gets A Little Sweeter With New Nothing Bundt Cakes
Establishment Media Air Grievances Against Biden on July 4th Weekend
The establishment media this week aired grievances against President Joe Biden, marking his failed leadership on a variety of issues throughout his tenure. As Biden’s polling numbers tanked to the lowest level of his presidency on Saturday (31 percent approval), Politico Playbook headlined on Saturday that Democrats have “growing doubts” about Biden running in 2024. “Whether the specific issue is abortion rights, court reform, voting rights, the filibuster, or the DOJ’s investigation into DONALD TRUMP’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, ‘[m]any Democrats share a sense that … Biden and his team have been following, not leading,'” Playbook wrote , quoting an Atlantic article from Thursday. The Atlantic article, written by Ronald Brownstein, slammed Biden for not pushing back against the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling with a harsher and quicker backlash. It is unclear what Biden can realistically do to thwart the Court’s ruling without congressional action, … [Read more...] about Establishment Media Air Grievances Against Biden on July 4th Weekend

Doomsday Dad Chad Daybell Believed He Was a Seer Who Could See ‘Beyond the Veil’
In December 2019, police in Rexburg, Idaho alerted the media: Two children had gone missing, along with their mother, Lori Vallow, and her new husband, Chad Daybell. No one had any idea where they were. Quickly, speculation swirled—that maybe their disappearances, and their whereabouts, could be linked to the “cult-like” religious beliefs held by Vallow and Daybell. Both were avowed members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Daybell had found a small amount of celebrity within Mormon circles for authoring LDS fiction and running his own book publishing company. But both Vallow and Daybell also entertained ideas at the fringes of the Mormon faith—ideas that weren’t acceptable to talk about in church on Sundays. They held study groups and scrutinized the works of “near-death experience” authors who claimed to have died and come back to life with knowledge from “beyond the veil.” Much has been discussed about : the gorgeous mother and former beauty queen … [Read more...] about Doomsday Dad Chad Daybell Believed He Was a Seer Who Could See ‘Beyond the Veil’
