    With the Republican National Convention underway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as of Monday, the party has officially chosen former President Donald Trump as their nominee for November’s presidential election. While Trump’s address to the convention after tragedy struck on Saturday when an assassin’s bullet nearly took his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, will undoubtedly be one of patriotism and unity, there are still career Republicans in Congress present at the convention who are incredibly unpopular. As each state was officially announcing its delegates for Trump, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky took to the microphone to cast 46 votes for Trump....

    In what has seemed like the floodgates of justice and exposure pouring over a pantheon of perverse megachurch pastors over the last few months, another impostor has been exposed, with Zachary King of LexCity Church in Lexington, KY, being the last perp. According to the arrest citation, King admitted that he “engaged in a sexual relationship with a minor over the course of the last year and a half.” The victim was 15 years old, and he admitted to having “sexual intercourse in the minor’s home, at his residence, and at the church where he was a former pastor.” According...

    A Kentucky judge has ruled against three Jewish women who filed a lawsuit contending that a state law protecting preborn children from abortion violated their religious freedom. Jefferson County Circuit Judge Brian Edwards on Friday dismissed the lawsuit filed by Lisa Sobel, Jessica Kalb and Sarah Baron. The case centered largely around in-vitro fertilization (IVF), with the women arguing that because the law states that life begins at conception (which they claim is a religious belief), they would not be able to discard unwanted embryos. Kalb, who currently has nine frozen embryos, stated that she was afraid to use them...

    President Biden’s campaign is intensely trying to quell speculation that he may drop out of the 2024 race following his lackluster debate performance last week. Most top Democrats have voiced support for Biden continuing in the race, while members of his family, including first lady Jill Biden, have declared they also want him to remain a candidate, casting doubt on the potential for replacing Biden. But if Biden were to step aside, several prominent Democrats could be waiting in the wings as possible successors. Here are the top possible Biden replacements: Kamala Harris Gavin Newsom Gretchen Whitmer Pete Buttigieg Josh...

    A Kentucky judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by three Jewish mothers who argued that the state's near-total abortion ban violated the religious freedoms of those who believe life begins at birth, not conception. On Friday evening, Jefferson County Circuit Judge Brian Edwards said the group of women lacked standing to bring the case and sided with the state's attorney general, who defended the state's abortion laws. In Kentucky, abortions are banned in almost all circumstances except in cases when a pregnant woman's life is in imminent danger of death or permanent injury. The plaintiffs — Lisa Sobel, Jessica Kalb and...

    new report suggests that presidential debate affected director Rob Reiner and actress Jane Fonda so immensely that the latter was reduced to tears while the former screamed at the TV. According to CNN, people in attendance at the Hollywood debate watch party this past Thursday said that Reiner and Fonda were emotionally swept up in seeing President Joe Biden perform poorly against former President Trump. A debate watch party in Los Angeles on Thursday night happened to feature Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff, Pritzker, Whitmer and Beshear. There were other high-profile attendees – by a few answers in, Rob Reiner was...
  • Report: Out-of-state abortion travel has ‘more than doubled’ since when Roe was in effect

    Since the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade, states have been allowed to pass their own abortion laws. As certain states began to pass stronger protections for preborn human beings, other states began to eliminate protections — and ‘abortion travel’ became a hot-button issue. Some companies began funding abortion travel as a “benefit” to employees, and abortion funds began to pay for airfare, hotels, and the like in order to assist women living in pro-life states to obtain abortions in states where abortion was more available. Since that time, the Guttmacher Institute...

    The Kentucky police chief who was in charge when golf champ Scottie Scheffler was arrested last month has resigned. Louisville Metro Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel resigned Tuesday, less than two weeks after being placed on administrative leave over a sexual harassment case..

Since that incident, two other female LMPD officers filed lawsuits against the department, documenting allegations of sexual...

    The Safe Haven Baby Box organization is celebrating the life of a baby who was safely surrendered at the Montgomery County Fire Safe Haven Baby Box in Mount Sterling, Kentucky. The surrender marks the 50th in one of the organization’s baby boxes since the first one was installed in 2015 and the first since this particular baby box was installed on April 4. The Kentucky Safe Infants Act allows parents to leave newborn infants younger than 30 days old at a staffed police station, fire station, hospital, or participating place of worship without fear of criminal prosecution or allegation of...

    A Kentucky federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against the Biden administration’s Title IX overhaul on Kentucky. The injunction comes in a case filed by Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia and comes less than a week after a federal judge in Louisiana issued a similar ruling in a case filed by Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana and Idaho. The Kentucky preliminary injunction only impacts the six states that were part of the lawsuit, along with the Christian Educators Association International.

    Even those who dislike the former President see a case of legal and political malpractice.How dare Mitt Romney. And Sens. Susan Collins and Mitch McConnell. The anti-Trump press corps is dismayed that Republicans of all stripes, even those who aren’t fond of Donald Trump, have criticized the Manhattan prosecution and guilty verdict. The media coverage after the verdict has followed the usual Trump-era pattern. Democrats pursue some anti-Trump operation—impeachment, a Russia collusion probe, a prosecution. The press then descends as one to chide Republicans, with the unsubtle implication that they must be unethical sellouts if they oppose what Democrats are...

    Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said he would “not attend” a speech given by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after Republican and Democrat lawmakers invited Netanyahu to speak before a “Joint Meeting of Congress.” Sanders issued a press release on Saturday describing Netanyahu as a “war criminal” and stating that he “should not be invited to address a joint meeting of Congress.” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) wrote a letter addressed to Netanyahu on Friday, inviting him to speak before a “Joint...

    A Kentucky high school allegedly withheld a graduate’s diploma when the student went off script during his graduation speech to preach his belief in Jesus. Micah Price received the green light to praise Jesus Christ in his commencement speech at Campbell County High School in Alexandria, Ky., on May 24, but followed his address with “urging other Christians to stand up.” “Class, before another word leaves my mouth, I must give the honor, the praise and the glory to my lord and savior Jesus Christ,” Price said to a packed Truist Arena at Northern Kentucky University. His oration received resounding...
