@KySportsRadio Heck of a player. Any team will be lucky to have him. But this stretching it out is starting to feel a little...

Peace doesn’t come from everything going right.
It comes from deciding you’ll be alright no matter what.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

@elonmusk It says they're bought and paid for by assholes like you.

@atrupar Not the flex he thinks it is. He just wrote the Democratic campaign! Thanks, speaker.

@BrettSiegelNBA @CardN_AL @ESPN680 His show was the best they had by a sizeable margin. He is deeply missed in the lineup.

Totally agree with the shade and they deserve all of it. This should never have happened to anyone, but especially not to Coach V. Another station would be wise to make him an offer.

@ProjectLincoln Couldn't pass a citizenship test.

🚨 BREAKING: Bad Bunny absolutely crushed the Super Bowl LX halftime show — and in the process, he dwarfed MAGA’s TPUSA counter-rally and exposed just how small and irrelevant it really is.

127M watching unity. 5M watching grievance.

He closed with “God bless America” and named countries across the Americas — a reminder that America is big, diverse, and unstoppable. 🇺🇸🌎

Culture wins.
Hate loses.

THIS is America.

In all seriousness, you need to prepare for a major winter storm that can cause a lot of hardship across Kentucky this weekend. #kywx

@Kelseys_army We don't deserve squat. Last I checked we have a head coach, he deserves to know what's happening. As fans our job is to support the team and enjoy the product. Stop it with the entitlement garage and just enjoy a good basketball team and program.

@UofLSheriff50 @ESPN680 @939TheVille Great news! Can we wrap him in bubble wrap or something? Need this guy healthy for the whole season for a change.

Christmas is our annual reminder that God chose enter this world as a marginalized person on behalf of marginalized people everywhere.

Jesus was born poor--to a scandalized teenage mom and a blue collar stepdad. His people were living under oppressive occupation and he was from a town no one liked (“Can anything good come from Nazareth?”). First recognized as Messiah by social outcasts and pagan magicians, Jesus spent his early years as a refugee on the run from a violent government.

In one of his earliest public speeches, Jesus claimed he’d been sent by God “to proclaim good news to the poor,” “freedom for the prisoners,” “recovery of sight for the blind,” “to set the oppressed free,” and “to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Jesus spent the rest of his life doing just that, all while challenging oppressive systems, breaking religious rules, and defying social norms to support those on the margins. Eventually, he was executed as a political dissident by the occupying Roman government.

But it didn’t end there. Jesus overcame death with life by rising from the grave, demonstrating once and for all that there is nothing more powerful than the love of God. He now offers forgiveness, freedom, and flourishing to anyone and everyone who wants it.

If you really want to “keep Christ in Christmas,” worry less about people saying Xmas or Happy Holidays and more about sharing this story—the story of Jesus.

Baltimore Ravens players, including Lamar Jackson & Derrick Henry, washed local kid’s feet & provided them new shoes for Christmas 👏

Which genius at the Kentucky department of transportation decided Thanksgiving week was a good week to reduce I64 to one lane? Seriously?!? There's just a bit of traffic this week.

“Quiet, quiet, Piggy.” -Donald Trump

I am continually appalled by Trump.
But I’m even more appalled by the Christians who keep supporting him.

“Christian” means “Christ-like.”

Right now, every pastor and parent should be saying, “Act like Jesus not like Trump.”

Be kind.
Show respect.
Don’t insult people.
Stand up to bullies.
Defend the vulnerable.
Have compassion.
Love everyone.

Follow Jesus. Not Trump.

@jwcoetzee @Tim_Walz That's the million dollar question. When ordinary people stop arguing with each other just because a politician told them to and start working together for real solutions we just might get somewhere.
