Welcome to our compassionate city! We respect each other!" Walsh Construction company has completed its work on the $2.3 billion Ohio River Bridges project. Back in early May, the company agreed to scrub away graffiti for 90 days. That window is about to expire. Cleanup duties now fall onto the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Here are photos taken within the past 24 hours in the Spaghetti Junction area, around the adjacent skate park, and a few shots of defaced interstate signs. Generous taxpayers built new infrastructure. Uninvited "artists" soiled the new infrastructure. Who's in charge here? OPTICS: Louisville is an unclean cesspool. There are over 200 museums throughout the metro area where artists can display their genius. Public property belongs

McConnell confirms his intention to use the nuclear option to confirm SCOTUS nominee Neil Grouch
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell confirms that he is prepared to use the so-called nuclear option, changing traditional rules of the Senate to allow for a simple majority vote to confirm U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch. In a WHAS radio interview with me, McConnell noted that the longstanding tradition of requiring a supermajority of 60 aye votes was overrun in 2013 by then-majority leader Sen. Harry Reid. Democrats point out that Reid's use of the nuclear option was to advance lower court appointments, not Supreme Court nominees. Here is the entire WHAS interview, which also covers whether superpowers should intervene following Syrian chemical attacks, if GOP in-fighting will wither 2018 election hopes, health care upgrades, tax reform, and

Air Force One ushers in President Trump’s Louisville health care rally
President Donald J Trump brought his health care rally to Louisville tonight. A rousing crowd waited all day to enter Freedom Hall to hear the president talk about the GOP plans to replace Obamacare, build a Mexico border wall, and even clown on San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick's handlers now have him saying that he will stand during national anthem presentations but so far no team has picked him up. I know very little about political gamesmanship but am always intrigued by Air Force One. Here's the approach and landing on Runway 17L at Louisville International Airport videotaped by Bill Weller. Governor Matt Bevin tweeted this pic after meeting with The Donald aboard AF1. If I ever get the chance
SIMON MEINERS: the twisted trajectories of Kentucky’s two global icons
My son Simon Meiners discovered a fascinating coincidence from March 6, 1964. Two men who would become the most recognizable figures in the world both made life changing decisions that would forever impact their separate legacies. As the millennial kids perpetually run from their whiteness, surely it's OK to point out that Col. Sanders (in this context) is the original snowflake.
Don’t expect Casper to be a ghost
Is it really over for the Carl Casper Custom Auto Show? I don't think so. This year's marketing talks of final farewells and retirement...but as long people will pay to look at cars, there will be a car show. But wait!!! There are rock stars aplenty!!! And the ultimate theme music...
