Resources to help our immigrant neighbors
The senile, incontinent Orange TACO and his ICE Barbie (pictured above) are planning to move more of their incel pseudo-Gestapo agents into more American cities, so it’s important for all of us in Kentucky to have a list of organizations that can help us defy their authoritarian actions. Know your rights, and the rights of…

They can’t even eat cake
Kentucky lawmakers are starting to realize the Orange TACO’s big bullshit bill is going to leave a lot of people hungry, according to the CJ: As Kentucky lawmakers start crafting the state budget ahead of the 2026 legislative session, questions of how they’ll handle recent federal funding cuts loom over the conversations. One of those cuts is…

Follow the money if you want to win an election
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair once said: “The first rule in politics is that there are no rules, at least not in the sense of inevitable defeats or inevitable victories.” We tend to disagree. The first rule of politics, if you want to understand why politicians do what they do, is “follow the money.” Policy…

Seem more like he was rented than bought
The congressman for Kentucky’s Third District made an interesting announcement at a recent town hall meeting, according to the CJ: U.S. Rep.

One has bowed to the whims of the incontinent, senile Orange Taco, while the other hasn’t yet said a word about the GOP’s musing about redrawing congressional maps in Kentucky to eliminate the only Democratic seat. It’s time for them to…

Homophobe church says screw ‘thou shalt not steal’
There’s no reason to give tax exempt status to these thieves: If they really believe in banning books that contain what they consider unnatural sex, they should dump the book that promotes this, which is illustrated in the painting at the top of this post: Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in…

Ky’s lone democratic U.S. Rep. must get off his ass and fight
I’m less than impressed with the lone Democrat in our state’s congressional delegation, because he’s failed to make any kind of impression on the national stage. His response to this latest bit of GOP scumbaggery is extremely frustrating: Two powerful Kentucky Republicans suggested this week that Kentucky could move to get rid of its only…

More mush from MAGAt’s favorite Democratic mayor
The CJ has this to say about Louisville’s mayor: Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg is quick to tout the city’s improving crime rate — in two separate instances during a recent press conference, he noted homicides and nonfatal shootings this year have dropped by more than 30% compared to the same point in 2024.

Are we becoming a nation of ‘good Germans’
Common Dreams gives us this historical reminder, linking it to the United States today: By the end of 1933, Hitler had largely neutered Germany’s free press; not by market competition, but by bankrupting writers and outlets with libel lawsuits, unleashing police raids for “slander” claims, vigilante “Brownshirt” militia violence against reporters, arrests of publishers for…
