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!

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.

Ex Democratic staffer sentenced to 10 years for distribution of child sexual abuse material

Gwyndolyn Miles, Richmond Times-Dispatch | Thursday, September 3, 2026

RICHMOND — The former democratic political strategist charged with child sex crimes has been sentenced to 10 years in prison, according to the Department of Justice.

Randon Alexander Sprinkle, 31, of Richmond, was convicted on charges of distribution of child sexual abuse material. The DOJ reported that Sprinkle pled guilty on April 23. Continue reading →

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.

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.

Dear Lexington gang-bangers: imitating Killadelphia isn’t a good idea.

Did I jinx the city of Lexington? The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Saturday afternoon that:

(This) was the third weekend in a row for fatal shootings in Lexington, after six months when no homicides were reported.

I noted, on August 14th:

Lexington, Kentucky, current population 329,791, has seen four murders so far in 2026. Philly has 4.77 times Lexington’s population, but 27 times as many murders.

I’d like to think that the gang-bangers in Lexington didn’t take what I wrote as a personal challenge! Continue reading →

The problem isn’t mass incarceration; the problem is that not enough criminals are incarcerated, for not a long enough time.

Brandon Dockery, mugshot by Fayette County Detention Center, and is a public record.

This site reported, in August of 2021, on the arrest of Brandon Dockery for the murder of Raymar Webb. Held in the Fayette County Detention Center, he has finally gone on trial.

Defendant apologizes for deadly Lexington shooting during his murder trial

By Taylor Six | Monday, August 24, 2026 | 1:00 PM EDT

The man charged with killing a Lexington father in a downtown parking lot testified at his own trial Monday, expressing remorse and saying the shooting was a “stain on him that will never go away.”

That won’t go away for Raymar Webb, either, because he’s been stone-cold graveyard dead for over five years now. Continue reading →

Killadelphia Yeah, the murder rate is lower now, but it's still high

We previously noted the killing of 78-year-old Steve Alexander, killed by what reporters Ellie Rushing and Jesse Bunch called a “stray bullet” as four men jumped out of an SUV and fired more than fifty rounds “toward a group of young men on the sidewalk.” The Philadelphia Inquirer has been very careful not to call it a gang hit, at least in the articles I have seen so far, but they have at least stated that the 30-year-old victim, previously referred to as being 31-years old, was the actual target.

Over 50 rounds fired, three people struck, only one killed, and he wasn’t even the target, but just collateral damage. Gang-bangers are deadly, but still notoriously bad shots.

On August 10th, the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, said, after six homicides the previous weekend, “We had a bad weekend. We’re not having a bad year.”

Well, the bad weekends are continuing: Continue reading →

Journalism differences between the Lexington Herald-Leader and Philadelphia Inquirer. ** Updated! ** When a poor newspaper outclasses a wealthy one

The First Street Journal has twice reported on the mass shooting in Charles Young Park in Lexington, Kentucky. We also noted the murder of a 78-year-old man in North Philadelphia Tuesday afternoon.

But there’s a significant difference in coverage between two newspapers to which we subscribe, The Philadelphia Inquirer and Lexington Herald-Leader. The Lexington newspaper is, to put it frankly, dying. Staff have been cut, there have been three General Managers in just a few years, and the paper, which once covered most of eastern and southeastern Kentucky, is a mere shadow if its former self, almost entirely restricted to Lexington now, and print publishing only thrice a week.
