When Kentuckians make international news, it's not always our best look. Here's today's global item. Someone spray painted graffiti on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's front door at his Louisville home. Congress has been debating another "free money" stimulus package ranging between $600 and $2,000 per person. McConnell has resisted the higher payments. “WERES MY MONEY” 😳 A Kentucky political activist validates the state’s woeful education ranking. pic.twitter.com/70jdQO8Pqz— Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) January 3, 2021 The day before Sen. McConnell's house was tagged, a San Francisco home belonging to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was vandalized. The California tagger appeared to spell everything correctly and use proper punctuation.

Who’s riding shotgun next to Joe Biden? Is it AOC or Pelosi?
I spoke with @RepJohnYarmuth on the transition, stimulus, and, if @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris are in the driver's seat for @TheDemocrats, who's riding shotgun? Is it @AOC or @SpeakerPelosi? 📲 LISTEN https://t.co/AzuyYlVSRx #Elections2020 #progressives #moderates 🇺🇸@840WHAS pic.twitter.com/UAJGOTptRj — Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) November 11, 2020
Media vs Trump jumps new shark, Orange Man assumes he is King of USA
Oh look! Time for another presidential press conference! Because the media won't acknowledge it themselves, Trump just showed a video laying out the timeline of his administration's action on coronavirus and made the media sit through it in the briefing, watching their own networks' words.Savage. pic.twitter.com/03ND2iahOK— Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) April 13, 2020 At his daily combative press briefing to address COVID-19 issues, President Donald Trump played video clips highlighting media voices that affirm his coronavirus response timeline claims. It was an unusual pushback against the daily hostility media and Trump sling at each other. pic.twitter.com/6fEymjTjUM— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 14, 2020 Fascinating theater. As expected, the media was not pleased. CNN called Trump's truth reel propaganda even though it contained their
Here’s Mitch McConnell on unanimous Senate passage of the stimulus bill, meanwhile Ky Rep. Thomas Massie needs some attention, UPDATE: bill passes as Massie is ignored
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. But Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, and
Divided America enjoys Trump’s “Blue Collar Boom” – Senator Rand Paul and Rep. John Yarmuth both joined me on 840WHAS to talk Trump
The Roaring 20s are busting out all across the United States. President Donald Trump gave his third State of the Union Address on February 4, 2020 and touted "The Great American Comeback." He touched on incredibly strong economic numbers, historically low unemployment rates, stronger international trade deals, and claims that America is once again respected around the world. Democrats sighed. Republicans cheered. Trump announced that he had promoted 100 year old Charles McGee, a former Tuskegee Airman, as America's latest general in the U.S. Air Force. He also asked Melania Trump to pin the Presidential Medal of Freedom on radio host Rush Limbaugh who was just diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. First Lady Melania Trump presents Rush Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal
Here’s a soundbite to use the day after the election regardless of outcome
Pelosi responds to Trump's tweet ahead of her appearance on @ThisWeekABC: "It's Sunday morning. I'd like to talk about some more pleasant subjects than the erratic nature of this president ... but he has to know that every knock from him is a boost." https://t.co/Wie2Pkt84V pic.twitter.com/5ERo3yabO0— This Week (@ThisWeekABC) January 12, 2020
Rep. John Yarmuth on risk/reward of killing Iranian military leader, slow motion impeachment, and CNN settling with student Nick Sandmann
Here's @RepJohnYarmuth on risk/reward of killing #Soleimani, slow walking #impeachment, mental state of @realDonaldTrump, and @CNN settlement with @CovCathColonels student Nick Sandmann 🎙️ AUDIO https://t.co/SW75ydyLVS @840WHAS #media #malpractice #Iran #Election2020 pic.twitter.com/UVynsge18U— Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) January 8, 2020 Rep. John Yarmuth (KY-3) held nothing back in responding to President Donald Trump's decision to kill Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani. Yarmuth is quick to acknowledge that Soleimani was a terrorist but questions the risk because of heightened danger to U.S. military troops around the world. HE WAS A TERRORIST 🚨 https://t.co/L84eD7kMYZ— nicole andrea (@gocatsmeow) January 7, 2020 Rep. Yarmuth and I also talked about Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's slow progress on moving impeachment forward. The congressman said there is abundant new
The Squad would never endorse Barack Obama today
Flashback Clip of the Day: In 2014, @BarackObama says crime and poverty do not justify an asylum claim pic.twitter.com/SorutFTXL9— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) July 15, 2019 No way Barack Obama could win the approval of progressive Democrats today. Listen to his 2014 comments on migrants seeking asylum based on crime and poverty in their homeland. B.O. ain't WOKE, y'all. The Squad (aka Jihad Squad, Facade Squad, Sistah Squad, and a thousand other names) or Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ayanna Pressley are dragging older Democrat leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden to the far left, a losing strategy. Omar has a Twitter trail of anti-Semitic comments. Tlaib, too, casts aspersions upon supporters of Israel. Pressley demands
Mitch McConnell on Bevin’s tight primary win, impeachment value for GOP, Trump vs Pelosi, and vaping teens
After a surprisingly close primary win for Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin, I asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell if he would offer support for Bevin's re-election in the November general election. McConnell and Bevin have a complicated relationship stemming back to Bevin's campaign to unseat McConnell in 2014. The McConnell team labeled their opponent Bailout Bevin, calling him a con man and liar. Today on WHAS Radio, Senator McConnell promised to fully support Bevin's re-election. Kentucky's senior senator also touted attorney general candidate Daniel Cameron, a former McConnell staffer. Kentucky has not had a Republican attorney general since the 1940s. 📻 @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell on helping @GovMattBevin win in November, acrimony between @realDonaldTrump & @SpeakerPelosi, value of impeachment for @GOP, and raising cigs
McConnell zings Dems’ Derby pick, eager to run against socialism in 2020
📻 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell jumped on the radio with me to talk about chicken chomping Democrats, why he is proudly called The Grim Reaper, defining socialism in 2019, if investigating the investigators is overkill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling AG William Barr a criminal, Sen. Mazie Hirono lobbing 🔥 at Trump, just WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE!, and Liberals' favorite Kentucky Derby horse 🎙️ 🏇🏽 840WHAS #USpolitics
