A Kentucky woman that loves a good laugh, a fine Bourbon, a well-executed duck decoy spread, and a purpose. U.S. Marine Corps Family.

Former award winning journalist, executive, legislative advocate, campaign manager, built a $42M Performing Arts Center.
Plus, IDK if that really holds up in court without his Supremes, and IDK if they would give him that much power over the military. It's like flirting with disaster. One of my favorite songs of my youth.

Sure, but at some point these optics are really, really bad. I still have some faith in my fellow Americans, especially those that served. They know this is FUBAR.

If they do then we lost the United States of America.
November 29, 2025 at 6:36 AM
If that happens, then stick a fork in us because we're done, or we fight.

One side of the family got a Revolutionary War Grant in the wilds of far western KY, and the other was a German who was wealthy enough to buy 630 acres of land before the Civil War. I don't believe Trump understands we will fight on this ground for our rights. He has no understanding of history.

Oh, and another issue is the UCMJ is specific to the military. There is no way, or legal path, for Trump to intervene. Remember we have three distinct branches of government for a reason. It was written for times like this.

No, I honestly tell you that is not so. I'm not believing our children and grandchildren have been brainwashed. I assure you, upon joining the military they joined a different club that worship Trump. It may not get much attention, but worshipping Trump isn't part of Boot Camp.

This is so horrible, IDK why it isn't front page bad with every journalistic org. I mean, C'mon....there is no way to sugar coat it. This exactly what it is. If you don't report that then you are dead to me. Just tell the truth and stop doing fluff pieces.

This is why the story never dies. Too many people have seen, and there will be more than one more Deep Throat although that moniker is a tad on the nose for this scandal.

Are we back to the 80's. Good times. Even my Commonwealth's attorney was doing it, but we don't talk about it now. 😂

For God's sake, every veteran knows this.

This is egregious. I'm sorry, but my combat Marine agrees this is a war crime. I'm deeply disappointed in Seal Team Six in they executed Hegseth's order. They, more than any other troops, knew this was an illegal order. These aren't young, unseasoned troops they know better. Very concerning.

My favorite response was the kid who said he wanted "5 shares of Nvidia." I thought, your father must be so proud right now. 👏

Speaking of value, I'm currently paying $56 a month to get the digital version of the Lexington Herald Leader. Yes, per month. 🤷‍♀️

This is wonderful! ❤️

Our family decided today there would be no presents for Christmas. We would donate the money we would have spent to our Community Kitchen.
November 28, 2025 at 6:51 AM
So this was essentially, "You can't handle the truth!" 🤡
November 28, 2025 at 6:44 AM
This is the problem with these folks. We fought a war 250 years so no one man could make that order. We have due process under a constitution to protect individual rights. IDK, how this has escaped Elon's Nazi upbringing, but the law is on your side, as written. I want to deport Elon, but I can't.

The reporters need to take their power back.
November 28, 2025 at 6:16 AM
Is this for real just mom and dad playing a role to increase their views. Those parents did not raise those kids. Jus' sayin'
