The Cincinnati native is the first BIG EAST men's golfer since 2018 - and only the third player in conference history - to earn both major conference awards in the same season!

I don’t think people understand how real this job is. Yesterday, a panicked citizen told me a young man was walking around with a gun in his waistband. As he was telling me this, he pointed and yelled, “He’s right there!” The person was walking up the street towards me with his hand on a gun in his waistband, just like the man said. With all the people around, I couldn’t wait. I had to stop him before he got to a corner with a large crowd. I exited my vehicle and confronted him. He reached for the gun again, and I was about to do something I pray I never have to do. He knew me and immediately dropped to the ground. When backup arrived, we cuffed him and removed a toy gun with an orange tip. I scolded the young man. I remembered trying to help this young man get shelter and buying him a pair of shoes a few years ago. I could have shot this man, who looked like one of my sons, over a toy.

I haven’t been able to sleep all night, thinking about how close I came. Would I have been justified? Absolutely. It looked like a real gun. But what would the papers say in the morning? How would the anti-cop crowd spin it? “Cop who claimed he cares for the homeless shoots unarmed homeless Black man with a toy.” Though his race was never a factor other than how he was described by the witness. No one would have known how many times I tried to help this young brother. How many would believe this biased headline and call me trigger-happy when I haven’t shot anyone in 30 years? How many friends would I lose? How woke would the narrative be among people about how I hate myself and my people, leading me to murder with impunity.

Folks, the decisions we have to make in a split second aren’t easy. But they are NOT rooted in racism or brutality. It’s what we are up against in the moment.

I thank God he complied. That would have been tough to live with.

This would have been another case Of a broken system failing him, and me, then all cops being made the scapegoat for it.

“Far more people are dying in Nigeria than in Palestine. Last year, 500,000 Christians were killed. But the activists aren’t protesting or saying anything. To me, that’s hypocrisy.” Well said.

A never-ending story, but thankfully with a happy ending this time.

“Do the people who are always demanding that there be more ‘training’ for police ever say that the hoodlums that the police have to deal with should have had more training by their parents, instead of being allowed to grow wild, like weeds?”

And there I was trying to explain to the people of Cincinnati how inflation works. Why the money in this rail trust fund is going to get eaten away over time until it’s nothing. That is unless they want to put $64 million back into it every year to make up for the 4% rise in inflation on average.

And what about the financial manger fees? Nobody knows what those will cost because there’s still no one selected. I’ll just guess one percent since they want to actively manage this. But you’re suppose to vote on this next month based on speculation and past returns from pensions. Seems responsible huh?

By the way, the city pension lost 8.5% last year and on top of that, inflation was 7%. Good luck, paying for that infrastructure in years like that.

Meanwhile, our rail line increased by 7.5% and we got paid $25 million on top of that.

The floor on the next lease would be $37.3 million if it goes to arbitration since they already offered us that. That part has been left out.

Also, if Norfolk Southern was to finance $1.6 billion, their service payment would be $80 million a year. Not sure why they can’t find a place in the middle that’s fair. I guess the arbitrator will just have to take care of that for us.

I haven’t even told them about the fiber optics deal the federal government will pay for and how that’s worth another $3 million a year. And the air right we could least to a drone delivery company like Amazon in the future.

I only had an hour and the pro side had to speak. I could’ve been up there for three hours rattling stuff off.

Thanks to the good people at the @Enquirer, particularly @SharonCoolidge for hosting this informative forum and for Kareem Elgazzar for the excellent photography. @voteSmitherman knows what I’m saying.

Every American should watch this film and do what they can individually and collectively to end child sex trafficking. Unfortunately, the #Biden Administration has made it easier with their pedophile friendly policies. No instant DNA tests at the border. #SoundofFredom
