Education bureaucrats gotta education bureaucrat!

The important paragraph was the seventeenth one down.

What my sadly late best friend used to call the Lexington Herald-Liberal gave readers this September 11th morning was a glowing story on Fayette County Public Schools interim Superintendent Bill Bradford, complete with a great photo of the man, as seen in the newspaper’s tweet about the story shown to the right, handsome, broad-shouldered, looking like he came to the schools from the Police Department. The article told us all the good that he would do, and very little that he had actually done. I suppose that’s not much of a surprise.

Here’s that seventeenth paragraph: Continue reading →

Hold them accountable! No one is above the law, our good friends on the left said. That should include those who break our immigration laws, and those who enable them.

We reported on Tuesday how many law enforcement agencies in Kentucky were cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and now we’re seeing some of the same in the Keystone State. The activists are, of course, thoroughly incensed:

“We don’t need our local police enforcing federal law. It is not their job and has proven time and again to harm public safety,” said Jasmine Rivera, executive director of the Pennsylvania Immigration Coalition. “ICE and billionaires profiting off federal contracts are making billions of dollars from kidnapping our people. They are terrorizing families and attacking our neighbors who are literally building our communities. We don’t need $240 billion of our tax dollars to go to ICE and [U.S. Customs and Border Protection]; we need that money to make education, healthcare, and housing affordable.”

It wasn’t that long ago that our good friends on the left were telling us that “no one is above the law,” during their efforts to put then-former President Donald Trump in jail. Now, returned to office, Mr Trump agrees with that statement, and is enforcing our immigration laws, and shazamm! the left are trying to say that illegal immigrants should be above the law!

Kentucky is not a sanctuary state! But if candy Andy Beshear had his way, we probably would be.

While we continually see the so-called “sanctuary” cities and counties trying to frustrate federal enforcement of our immigration laws, at least parts of Kentucky are doing their jobs! And while the Lexington Herald-Leader’s editorial orientation is toward the left of the political spectrum, reporter Beth Musgrave’s article is politically neutral.

Obligatory Lindsay Clancy post

The jury!

Fr Chris Vorderbruggen wrote, on Twitter:

You have a say in how God will judge you. Not because you can excuse your sins, change His law, or save yourself, but because Jesus warns that the measure you use against another human being will be measured back to you. Every merciless judgment should make us tremble.

The Lindsay Clancy case has made me contemplate this, not primarily because of the case itself, but because of what our reactions to it reveal about us. This is not about determining her legal responsibility or pretending that evil does not matter. The children matter. Truth matters. Justice matters. But this is about you and me.

I have watched people speak of her as a monster, a demon, evil incarnate, or a human being beyond redemption. No Christian has the authority to declare a living soul beyond the reach of God’s grace.

Let me make it perfectly clear: I believe that Mrs Clancy deserves to be found guilty and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. I give no credit to insanity or diminished capacity claims, and we need, all states need, a “Guilty but Insane” verdict possibility. Whether Miss Clancy was out of her mind or not, those three innocent children are still dead. Continue reading →

That thing that never happens has happened again That internet thingy Al Gore invented, the thing that was supposed to make us all smarter? It sure looks like it has made people more stupid!

A homosexual activist named Randon Sprinkle? I just had to check, but as far as I could find, it is his real name.

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

So, a man who had managed to keep a clean record himself was hanging around previously convicted felons, and has now been sentenced to five years of three-hots-and-a-cot. Normally I would include the criminals mugshot, something the Lexington Herald-Leader will not do, but the internet search for this fine gentleman’s mugshot turned up images of more than one person, and I cannot be certain which one is this new guest of the federal government.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt Jill Biden says she's still clueless about her husband's condition

The Democrats used a picture of a smiling, robust-looking Joe Biden in their tweet proclaiming President Biden the winner of the debate, but their problem is that he was exposed as not robust, but a faltering and confused elderly man who is visibly sinking into dementia. Even The New York Times couldn’t hide the truth:

A Fumbling Performance, and a Panicking Party

President Biden’s shaky, halting debate performance has Democrats talking about replacing him on the ticket.

by Peter Baker | Thursday, June 27, 2024 | Updated: Friday, June 28, 2024 | 2:35 AM EDT

President Biden hoped to build fresh momentum for his re-election bid by agreeing to debate nearly two months before he is to be formally nominated. Instead, his halting and disjointed performance on Thursday night prompted a wave of panic among Democrats and reopened discussion of whether he should be the nominee at all.

Well, that was then, and this is now, slightly over two years later, and everything has been settled out. Millions of words have been written, including more than a few on this site, as well as Jake Tapper’s and Alex Thompson’s tell-nothing book claiming that they just didn’t know. Continue reading →

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the anus here] to do things right The beautiful, liberal city of Burlington, Vermont, is awash with junkies

In May of 2024, we noted Olivia Reingold’s reporting that addiction activists say they’re ‘reducing harm’ in Philly, but Kensington locals say they’re causing it. Of course, Miss Reingold’s article appeared in The Free Press, a site which is definitely not free, and was started by the liberal, but certainly not #woke[1]From Wikipedia: Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from … Continue reading leftist Bari Weiss, whom our good friends on the left now hate because she’s trying to right the ship — meaning: reduce the liberal bias — on CBS News.

Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from the African-American Vernacular English expression “stay woke“, whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues. By the late 2010s, woke had been adopted as a more generic slang term broadly associated with left-wing politics and cultural issues (with the terms woke culture and woke politics also being used). It has been the subject of memes and ironic usage. Its widespread use since 2014 is a result of the Black Lives Matter movement.

I shall confess to sometimes “ironic usage” of the term. To put it bluntly, I think that the ‘woke’ are just boneheadedly stupid.

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

After all of the scandals involving Catholic priests, I’m always not-so-secretly glad when these sexual abuse scandals involve teachers or Protestants. Though the Lexington Herald-Leader simply tells us that the alleged offender was a youth minister, he was with the Green River Pentecostal Church in Lincoln County.

Kentucky youth pastor who confessed to sex crimes now faces federal charge

By Taylor Six | August 30, 2026 | 12:22 PM EDT

A Lincoln County youth pastor was federally charged last week with online enticement of a minor, according to court documents released Friday.

Jason Coulter, 48, of Lincoln County, faces one count of online enticement of a minor after he sexually abused a member of his church’s youth group, according to an affidavit. He was already facing charges in state court.
