Oh, Kentucky

It's news that "Kentucky's two U.S. Senators speak out against separating immigrant children from parents."

"11 states are pulling National Guard troops from the US-Mexico border in a growing protest over Trump's family-separation policy." Kentucky is not one of them.


"Yes, the optics are bad that we're standing there like the black-booted thugs. But we're not. We're just trying to enforce the rules at the Capitol."

"We don't necessarily believe in a heavy hand in trying to reduce crime. That's not how this department works."

"Records, research and interviews with stakeholders in the juvenile justice system show that racial disparity occurs at nearly every decision point in Kentucky’s juvenile justice system. As juvenile detention center populations dwindle and fewer minor offenders are locked up, whites feel the benefit most. Youth lockups are becoming more black and brown." The (indispensable) Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting rolls out its newest series.

That bank robbery in Lewisport is no joking matter ... well, it shouldn't be, anyway.

Newport's "whiskey campus" is coming along, despite Mexican and EU tariffs on bourbon.

They opened a support center for veterans in Glasgow Tuesday, and Melinda J. Overstreet reports in the  Daily Times that nine sought help the very first morning.

Democrats are no longer a majority of Kentucky's registered voters.

I stand with Stansdawg.

EKU is apparently going to still have a marching band, after all.

Rest in peace, Georgetta Earlena Harris-Holloway, Ohio-born First Lady of Second Baptist Church in Fairfield. "She loved the Buckeyes, but she loved Jesus more."

Oh, Kentucky

No joke--what's up with all the attorney suicides in Kentucky?

"No matter how much you try to prepare yourself you are never going to be prepared to lose your job."

Good jobs news from Louisville.


I think the Kentucky desk is going to institute dedicated U.S. 60 task force to follow developments specific to that road. ... Yes! ... We just did!

Turning to sports, ...


Wouldn't it be cool if Coach Jack Haskins's first address to the McCracken County Mustangs football team took place in The Heath Post Auxiliary Gym?

The 2014 Dawahares/KHSAA Hall of Fame class is out, and among the honorees are Madisonville's "Sonny" Collins (whom my father-in-law always calls, "Alfred"), Mike Fields (hooray for sportswriters!), and Don Frye (remember the Trojans!).

The 2013 Forcht Bank/KHSAA State Baseball Tournament starts this morning at 10 Central, and, both Hall-of-Famer Fields and Jason Frakes agree, the field is stacked. Go, Lone Oak! Henderson County goes! Logan County went!

Oh, Kentucky



ACA/SCOTUS aftermath, Dawson Springs/Frankfort and Fort Wright/Louisville editions.




To Fancy Farm? We'll see.

Good jobs news from Leitchfield. Good in Bardstown, too? Lively from Shively?


Brooklawn School, Maryhurt School and Peace Academy in Louisville; Calloway County Day Treatment Center in Murray; McDaniel Learning Center in London; Morehead Youth Development Center; Providence School in Wilmore, and Ramey Estep High in Rush are deemed the state's best alternative-education programs.

On the other hand, The Messenger reports this morning that our jailer right here in Hopkins County has been voted Kentucky's best. Rock on, Joe Blue (Class of '86!)
