My feed has now fed me two things by the new Rep!

Next up, wasting money on new signs because he loves Trump so much.

How will this bring down the price of eggs!

I am honored to announce that the Boone County Fiscal Court has unanimously endorsed House Joint Resolution 8, my initiative to rename Kentucky Route 18 to the President Donald J. Trump Highway.

This decision reflects not only the recognition of President Trump's significant contributions to our Commonwealth during his first term but also our community's strong support for his ongoing commitment to America's prosperity and security.

President Trump's policies have directly benefited Kentucky by fostering economic growth, supporting our local industries, and promoting an America-First agenda that aligns with our Commonwealth's, and our County's ethos. By renaming KY-18 in his honor, we ensure that his legacy of leadership and dedication to our great nation is commemorated for generations to come.

I am grateful for the Fiscal Court's endorsement and encourage all Kentuckians and Americans across the country to back this bill as a testament to our fight for a prosperous future under President Trump's leadership. Thank you to Commissioners Chet Hand, Cathy Flaig, and Jesse Brewer, and to Judge Executive Gary Moore for supporting HJR 8

“Gun grabbers” referring to a foundation created by a shooting survivor is proof of the soulless rhetoric people like TJ Roberts are comfortable spewing.

They have no compassion for their fellow citizens.

[TJ Roberts @realTJRoberts]

The Gun Grabbers at @GIFFORDS_org gave Kentucky an F because we respect the Second Amendment rights of our citizens!

Hopefully they’ll give us an F MINUS next year once we:
Nullify all Federal Gun Control dating back to 1791 (HB 82)
Ban Red Flag orders (HB 83)
Lower the age to carry a firearm to 18 (HB139)
Nullify the NFA Tax (HB 176)
Stop public colleges from banning firearms (HB 204)
Repeal all taxes on guns, ammunition, parts, accessories, safety devices, hearing protection, and EVERYTHING related to the Second Amendment (House Bill to be announced)!!

Special interest groups will NEVER shame Kentucky into relinquishing our God-Given Rights! In fact, they only inspire me to protect those rights even more!

Costco defends its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies amid pressures to scale them back:

“Our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary.”

[Gavin Cooper @GavinCoop12]

“From universities to counties, there shall be no sanctuary”

When talking about immigrants,

Is the most fascistic anti-Christian sentiment I have ever read.

The Republican Party has lost faith, and the viciousness is the point.

Rep. @AOC showing how to lead:

“When a private prison camp opens in your town… when a Dreamer is disappeared from your classroom, when the President of the United States destroys what’s left of the Constitution… they will all say ‘we didn’t know this was coming’… they did.”

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're repealing regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings.

They are talking about civil rights

If you know someone who is undocumented, no you don't

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

yes.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

To be clear, you're calling for a New Jersey-born bishop to be deported because you don't like that she exercised her First Amendment right by delivering a sermon in accordance with her faith imploring Trump to show empathy to people?

Response from the Pulaski Co Schools Superintendent:

“I wonder why a person from Texas would be so interested in Kentucky, especially Pulaski County... Bless his Heart.”
