Let's not bury the lede. The largest stimulus bill in American history was passed by the Senate, then the House, and signed by President Donald Trump today. It was an honor to join @POTUS at the White House today for the signing of the CARES Act. The American people needed this rescue package. They needed it quickly. And the Senate delivered, 96-0. It's a proud moment for our country. pic.twitter.com/jk33y5D5lg— Leader McConnell (@senatemajldr) March 27, 2020 Now for the rocky road to get here. America is in a freefall from the spread of the deadly novel coronavirus called COVID-19. Surely every elected official will jump in to craft a plan for recovery! Not quite.

Matt Jones on “Burnt Hair” radio, Mitch, poverty, and Kentucky culture
This may be my favorite and funniest interview I have ever done with Terry. Take a listen if you want https://t.co/NQNSC8unHw— Matt Jones (@KySportsRadio) January 3, 2020 Kentucky Sports Radio founder Matt Jones popped by my radio studio today to talk about his upcoming book MITCH, PLEASE. It was more than comedy gold, Jerry! It was a great piece of broadcasting about Kentucky, politics, poverty, and promise. Matt and I trust each other enough to go deep on lots of subjects that would make other broadcasters squirm. Regardless of school rivalry silliness, I want it stated for the record (again) that I think Matt Jones is one of the smartest, most effective media personalities I've ever experienced. Great media material is always

We also talked about the invaluable commitments of family and colleagues in making professional decisions. Eventually we talked about UK's topsy turvy football season and #1 Kentucky's embarrassing loss to mid-major Evansville in Rupp Arena. Everyone wins with the Matt Jones decision. There won't be a brutal and embarrassing political campaign against Semate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's
Trump rallies for Bevin on election eve 2019
President Donald Trump rallied in Lexington's Rupp Arena on behalf of Governor Matt Bevin on the night before his re-election bid. Trump talked about Bevin's many achievements, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's successes in getting federal judges confirmed, Kentucky's overall progress, University of Kentucky basketball, and many random quips about various national Democrat stars. "Matt Bevin is pro-worker, pro-life, and 100% pro-Second Amendment," Trump said to a rousing response from the audience. As for the chance that Democrat attorney general Andy Beshear could take the governor's seat from Bevin, Trump stated emphatically "You can't let that happen to me." President Trump has made a last-minute rally push Monday night for Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, a strong ally who is facing a tough

John Yarmuth jumped on the radio with me today to discuss last night's tumultuous protest outside the home of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. We also talked about what to do with modified weapons that fire 100 rounds in a few seconds, the perils of doxxing, and the uproar over McConnell fanboys pawing all over a cardboard cutout of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Yarmuth said Republicans are fearful of acting on gun legislation because they would likely pick up primary opponents

The protest was led by Black Lives Matter activist Chanelle Helms who screams the f-word throughout the two-hour late evening protest. Helms is known for her screed urging white people to give up their homes to black families as a form of reparation for slavery. Mayor Fischer responded to Governor Bevin the next morning

Trump rally spurs chants of FOUR MORE YEARS and SEND HER BACK
President Donald Trump tore the roof off the sucka at another rousing rally. Thousands packed a Greenville, North Carolina arena where the president ripped into Democrat presidential hopefuls and THE SQUAD, stirring up the Liberal outrage machine again. Rep. John Yarmuth (Ky-3) has referred to President Trump as a moron on Twitter and questioned his sanity. Yarmuth certainly took issue with the Trump rally chant of "send her back" aimed at Somali American Rep. Ilhan Omar. I don’t know whether to scream or cry. Probably both. This must not be the future of America. It’s bad enough it’s the present. https://t.co/Kppp4jTPW3— Rep.
