As for peace among presidential candidates, well, that appears to be an unsolvable dilemma among the billionaire set. .@realDonaldTrump - we know many of the same people in NY. Behind your back they laugh at you & call you a carnival barking clown. They know you inherited a fortune & squandered it with

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.

Rep. John Yarmuth on risk/reward of killing Iranian military leader, slow motion impeachment, and CNN settling with student Nick Sandmann

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.

Bevin not ready to concede loss to Beshear, suspects Democrat secretary of state of shenanigans
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin is not quite ready to admit that he was beaten by attorney general Andy Beshear in the 2019 gubernatorial election. He lost by about 5,100 votes but is convinced that absentee ballots were mishandled, polling places had access problems, and that Democrat secretary of state Alison Lundergan Grimes and her felonious father somehow cheated. President Donald Trump claims he nearly erased Bevin's reportedly 17 point deficit with his Lexington rally on election eve. Of course, no one polled a 17 point differential. Polls were mostly "dead heat" status to +5 for Bevin. Morning Joe has his facts all wrong, too. Quite a fascinating week of bad math and good drama in Kentucky. .@JoeNBC rants: “Donald, my friend, you lost [Kentucky]
Beshear stuns Bevin for Kentucky governor job, now faces Republican resistance
Kentucky attorney general Andy Beshear shocked the political world with a razor thin upset of incumbent Governor Matt Bevin in an election that saw all other Republicans win big. Beshear's decision to stick to healthcare and jobs as main topics overwhelmed Bevin's "I'm buddies with Trump" strategy. There were almost 500,000 more voters in 2019 when compared to Bevin's victory in the 2015 election. Incoming Republican attorney general Daniel Cameron has already stated that he would take the office back to its intended purpose of law enforcement. Beshear was criticized for filing a slew of lawsuits intended to slow down Bevin's initiatives. Surprisingly, President Donald Trump's raucous Lexington rally on election eve did not close a suspected wide polling gap hampering Bevin. Of
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
Polls are fool’s gold, coffee is for closers
Fewer than 1% of homeowners put political signs in their yards because it's no one else's business as to how they vote. That's why media reports about election "polls" are so whacked. The sample size of willing participants is tiny. And usually wrong. Do pollsters get paid or are they producing these elaborate pranks for free? Modern polling is terribly flawed and only advances lazy journalism. A media outlet will only post or broadcast poll results if (a) they have space to fill, (b) there is a shocking change from previous polling, or (c) a media person with the authority to choose whether a "story" merits publication is happily amplifying their own bias. With Kentucky's election just a few weeks away,
Unencumbered Trump: developer Donald’s life perspective prior to running for president
Knowing what we know now, it is interesting to hear how Donald Trump assessed his life just three years before he would be elected the 45th President of the United States. Trump has a comedic charm about him when responding to dopey questions about organized crime, his hair flopping in the wind, and how much he must spend to build a DC building. Interviewed by David Letterman, Trump talked about a few serious issues like his father's discipline demands, government shutdowns, Vladimir Putin and "tough and smart" Russians, and Trump's supposed lack of interest in pursuing political office. Letterman: "You've really got the world by the ass, don't you?" Trump: "No. I work hard." Little did anyone fathom how hard he would work to win
