When your minister tells you, or even suggests to you, that stealing is the right thing to do your church needs a new minister. The same is even more true for any act of violence. "Lying for Jesus" is wrong.

I attended the Educational Forum Town Hall put on by the Grayson County Chapter of Kentucky Citizens for Democracy tonight. The purpose was to better understand the relationship between ICE, the Grayson County Detention Center and other county jails in Kentucky. This was powerful.

Being anti-vax is like being pro-"drive in the left lane of the road".

Yes, the election is more than a year away, but the time to start running to win is NOW. I am running as a proud Democrat, but my core issues are all non-partisan. I will support any and all legislation which is in line with these core issues.

HAPPENING NOW: Republicans are putting health care on the chopping block / X HAPPENING NOW: Republicans are putting health care on the chopping block

Itโ€™s 2 am and weโ€™re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid.

While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

They want you to tune out. Donโ€™t โฌ‡๏ธ

A friend is so engaged in protests that he is making signs in before the protests are even planned! He is clearly unhappy about Mr. Trump's self proposed birthday celebration, a clear abuse of taxpayer dollars and abuse of our military!

This Thursday, April 30th 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon and the end of American involvement in Viet-Nam. 
The men and women who served in that era were not given the respect that they deserved. I am asking you to make sure that you take time to thank and honor our Viet Name Era Veterans who served our country proudly during a troubled time for our nation. 
I joined the Army in the Fall of 1980. All of my Drill Sergeants at the Infantry School were Viet Nam Vets and they raised me up right. They made sure that all of us recruits learned what it meant to be a Soldier and an Infantryman. I hope that I managed to pass down some of that spirit to the Soldiers that I trained years later. 
Please, please share here any events that you are aware of regarding the anniversary of the end of the Viet Nam War. 
Salute!
