In any event, check out the Cameron interview with @JimWatersKyV here: https://t.co/vyHCmtChnw

🚨 Beshear Enabling Medicaid Fraud 🚨

The Beshear administration is refusing to remove deceased individuals from the Medicaid eligibility rolls. This means people could potentially use those Social Security numbers to bill Medicaid for services that were never rendered or were not provided to the correct person.

According to the most recent Cabinet for Health and Family Services Audit: “CHFS has once again failed to remove at least 331 deceased individuals from the Kentucky Medicaid eligibility rolls.”

The administration is being notified by another government agency that the individuals are deceased and still fails to take action.

Opponents of the reforms in House Bill 2 claim that fewer Kentuckians on Medicaid would be a tragedy. @TheKyVoice host Jim Waters says it would be "a success" in his latest column. https://t.co/RZIPTFfYKd

🚨BREAKING: Local governments around Kentucky's BlueOval SK boondoggle are now facing budget shortfalls after dumping MILLIONS in taxpayer cash into this "EV miracle" startup.

Hardin County is staring down holes in its budget thanks to layoffs & no revenue.The state threw $250M (forgivable loan) + tax breaks + free land + free training for hired employees at it for promised 5,000 jobs by 2031.

The plant idled after 4 months, all 1,600 taxpayer-trained workers laid off, second site never opened.

Part of the deal involved Hardin County giving the plant a 15-year property tax exemption. The only way the county could offset the infrastructure investments made was through occupational (income) tax. With the layoffs, that tax revenue is no longer coming in, and the county has been left holding the bag.

I called this YEARS ago when the deal was first made—this was never Ford building a proven auto manufacturing plant. It's ALWAYS been a startup gamble dressed up as "economic development."

Politicians & cheerleaders who fell for the hype (Beshear & crew leading the charge) look like absolute fools.

Nobody is being held accountable, and nobody is learning from the mistakes as more economic development gambles continue.

@grey4626 Yeah nice try. No. Can. Do.

The Republican Party didn't leave Ed Gallrein. He left the Republican Party ... when Donald Trump was elected in 2016. Whhhaaaaaattttt??????!!!!! https://t.co/ar6qoIf7oi

[Mario Anderson 📺 @MarioAndersonTV]

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., makes its official: Paul is endorsing Thomas Massie in his re-election bid for #ky04, not Trump endorsed challenger Ed Gallrein.

[Jim Waters @JimWatersKyV]

Uh ... yeah ... ugh .... Thanks but no thanks...' https://t.co/E5YnRrB1ON

[Jim Waters @JimWatersKyV]

@LassThoughts Close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and nuclear war. After seeing Gallrein's speech yesterday (I would hate to have to listen to him for four years!), I see why he couldn't win a primary for a state senate seat in a THREE-WAY race.

[Jim Waters @JimWatersKyV]

"Tom Massie stands with the ladies of 'The View.' Mr. President, we stand with you," Ed Gallrein screamed - a bizarre comparison by Gallrein, who couldn't win a primary election for a state Senate seat: Massie's never been on 'The View." Trump's been on there 12-plus times. #smh

@EWErickson Senate Leadership: The Senate Majority Leader is a position elected by members of the Senate from among their own, requiring the leader to be a seated Senator. Therefore, JD Vance cannot be the Senate Majority Leader while serving as Vice President.

[Jim Waters @JimWatersKyV]

@EWErickson Vice President as President of the Senate: The Constitution (Article I, Section 3) designates the Vice President as the President of the Senate, allowing them to preside and cast tie-breaking votes, but they are not a member of the Senate.

[Jim Waters @JimWatersKyV]

@EWErickson Incompatibility Clause: Article I, Section 6, Clause 2 states that no person holding an office under the U.S. shall be a member of either House during their continuance in office.

[Al Cross @ruralj]

@EWErickson The office of majority leader did not exist in the time of John Adams. The VP is only the presiding officer, who votes only to break ties. He is not a member of the Senate. This is really basic stuff.
