Happy 230th birthday, Tennessee! I can’t think of a better place to be born and raised.

It’s an honor to serve and represent this state, and the Tennesseans who make it so outstanding.

The Halfway Market and Diner is an important part of Franklin's community. Sadly a recent kitchen fire did great damage it, and Halfway will be closed for some time.

A lot of people want to help and as is often the case in Williamson, neighbors are coming together at a benefit to assist the recovery and reopening this Saturday.

GATHERING OF FRIENDS’ BENEFIT FOR Halfway Market and Diner TO BE HELD SATURDAY, MAY 23rd at Gentry Farm
Community Invited to Come Together in Support of Beloved Diner and Displaced Staff.

FRANKLIN, Tennessee -- Customers and friends of the team at Half Way Market & Diner have been looking for ways to help, after a kitchen fire on May 13 destroyed the restaurant. Now, a benefit has been scheduled to raise money in support of the displaced staff and recovery effort.

“Half Way has always been a community gathering place, where the staff treats everyone like family,” said Brandy Blanton, a longtime friend of owners Kellye and Paul King. “Now it’s our turn to wrap our arms around them.”

On Saturday, May 23, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Gentry Farm, local musicians including David Leonard, Poor Lisa, and the Austin Brothers Band featuring Sen. Jack Johnson will play a fundraising show. Hattie Jane’s Creamery will be on hand with ice cream, bottled water will be available for purchase, and attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. No outside coolers, pets, or alcohol will be allowed on-site.

There is no cost to attend, but donations are encouraged. Online contributions can be made through the Circle of Giving and selecting “Half Way Market & Diner”.

“Recovery will be a long road, and we are so humbled by the outpouring of support and requests for ways to help,” Kellye King said. “We can rebuild, but the immediate focus in on making sure our staff who have now lost their place of employment are taken care of as we figure out the next steps.”

Appreciate Sen. Marsha Blackburn spending the afternoon in Spring Hill and learning more about our local efforts to lead on water advanced purification and expanding utility capacity.

Spring Hill's largest challenges are going to be solved in collaboration with regional, state and federal partners. Always beneficial when other leaders spend time to learn about our local challenges and how we're solving them.

"The arms of a mother are the newborn’s first cradle and the injured child’s first refuge. She is the teacher of the ways of the world and of the secrets of the heart.

Her love and her guidance, in large measure, sustain us as individuals and as a people. The heart of a mother is a heart that is always full." - Ronald Reagan

Tomorrow the Tennessee General Assembly will convene in an Extraordinary Session called by Gov. Bill Lee to address the fact that following last week's Supreme Court Decision in Louisiana v. Callais our state's congressional districts are unconstitutional as currently configured.

The Democrats are in full scale melt down and will likely sink to new lows (yes its possible!) to defy the Supreme Court and continue disenfranchising many thousands of Tennessee citizens who have had voices silenced by racially gerrymandered congressional districts.

Republicans must not shrink from the task at hand. These unconstitutional districts must be remedied as quickly as possible. The Left and their various allies will be coming in with all of their overheated rhetoric and emotional but untrue claims.

FACT: The Voting Rights Act has not been overturned. The law is still intact as is Section 2. It remains illegal (and properly so) to deny a citizen the right to vote on account of race or color through voting qualifications, prerequisites, standards, practices, or procedures.

FACT: For 40 years, activist judges misinterpreted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — producing racially gerrymandered districts that violated the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause and contradicted the original intent of the Voting Rights Act 1965, as well as the plain language of Congress' 1982 update that explicitly prohibited racial gerrymandering.

FACT: In 1986, five Supreme Court Justices under the influence of William Brennan overstepped their roles in deciding Thornburg v. Gingles. They ignored Congress and legislated from the bench to invent the Gingles Test that improperly embedded race into state's congressional redistricting processes.

FACT: Because of the Gingles Test, millions of American citizens, including countless numbers of Tennesseans, have effectively been silenced and their representation in the United States House of Representatives stripped from them.

FACT: The 6 -3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais makes it clear that race based congressional districts are unconstitutional. The Supreme Court did not end the Gingles Test. It updated it to bring it in line with what the Voting Rights Act actually says.

FACT: Louisiana v. Callie's gives Tennessee and other states the immediate necessity to draw fair, race-neutral districts that truly represent all citizens, and rightly throw race-based maps engineered around racial sorting on to the ash heap of history.

FACT: Tennessee's current congressional districts are now unconstitutional. The General Assembly has both a legal and moral duty to act quickly and bring our maps into compliance with the Constitution, federal law, and Supreme Court precedent.
