The most annoying headline of the week
An Al Cross column in the Kentucky Lantern has this headline: We Need Calm Compelling Voices from the Middle. And it contained this pablum: I got a surprise phone call last week from the other side of the world, where an American expatriate was worried about the future of his country in the wake of…

Louisville Showing Up for Racial Justice has this message for you: It’s happening here. Our Louisville neighbors are being detained by ICE. After playing a game of pick-up soccer with friends. After a routine check in about their status. As they work a job that takes taxes out of their wages.The immigrant and refugee families who have…

Tom Massie is a nightmare for Orange TACO and his donors
The representative for Kentucky’s Fourth District is kicking ass and naming names: It is unconscionable that major Democrats aren’t giving us this information. Hell, even Marjorie Taylor Green is taking shots at “the coward” in the White House.

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…

Massie shows up for women against misogynistic MAGAts
It’s so rare when we give credit to a Republican for doing the right thing, but we have been consistently impressed with Thomas Massie in Kentucky’s 4th congressional district for standing up to the regime led by the rapist Orange TACO. This time, he stood alongside Jeffrey Epstein’s victims (pictured above) and called for ”real…

This is how you fight back; Ky. Dems can learn from Illinois
Louisville is stuck with MAGAts’ favorite Democratic mayor and Congress’s least effective Democratic congressman. 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…

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. But that doesn’t…

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…
