    I do not know of any Kentucky Governor in modern times who has faced more calamity, natural disaster, tragedy, loss of life than @AndyBeshearKY I continue to pray for him and his leadership. Regardless of political party differences, let’s all lift him up in prayer 🙏🙏

    Okay, I admit. I’m 64 years old. I cried. I literally cried a couple of times. When Tony Delk, Derek Anderson got off that bus, I cried. I just did. Unbelievable atmosphere in Rupp. Loved it.
    While we’re all enjoying the Masters Kentucky basketball has a sold out arena for a press conference @BarstoolUK

    Give credit where credit is due!! @AndyBeshearKY @GovAndyBeshear has done a masterful job leading us in this unprecedented public health crisis. Proud of him (and for this state). I shudder to think what could have been.
    Look at the difference between how the Kentucky Governor and Tennessee Governor handled the Coronavirus And look at the results of those policies

    It is dumbfounding to me that an issue so simple as wearing masks in public, so important to the health and safety of ourselves and our fellow man, has become so divisive and so political. Have we become such a selfish society that common sense to keep others alive is gone? Sad

    Personal observation. If you claim to be pro-life and show up at the State Fair to get your campaign ready photo taken at the pro-life booth, but you encourage people to not get vaccinated or wear masks, you are NOT pro-life. Despite what your campaign ad says

    The state budget just adopted gives state employees an 8% pay raise next year and then 12% on top of that in two years, effectively greater than 20% pay raise over two years, but giving teachers ZERO pay raise is the biggest smack down and slap to public education in history

    My friend and former colleague Damon is wrong here. I’m sure he regrets his comment made last night in post election haste. The people of Kentucky are the “incentive and reason” for everyone to work together. Kentuckians deserve no less.
    KY Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, on working w/Beshear over the next 4 years: "There’s no incentive or reason for us to work with him… He doesn’t deserve an opportunity for reparation, especially after the campaign." kentucky.com/news/politics-…

    Pope comes, Reed stays. Mark it down. If Reed stays, others return. All will be fine. Plus, it’s basketball darn it. It’s not the war in Ukraine. Nobody getting killed by the minute. It’s basketball. Simply.

    Come on @DanielCameronAG At least be intellectually honest. You are the state’s top law enforcement official, state’s top prosecutor, and have been for four years. You Can’t honestly complain that someone else wrecked when you’re driving the ship. Come on man
    Crime continues to soar in our state under Joe Biden and Andy Beshear. While homicides rise, Andy has sat on his hands. I'll be a strong, tough on crime Governor and keep Kentucky safe.

    To view someone only as “Republican or Democrat,” “liberal or conservative,” is to miss out on a great blessing of getting to know that person for who they are, where they come from, their life experiences. Such labeling of persons limits opportunities to grow and love others

    For those who say this is “just like any other virus” and who want to politicize the whole thing. I have lost three friends/clients in last seven days. This is real life. It hurts. It really hurts. But it infuriates me to see those who act like it’s nothing. You know who you are

    Three people…Friends/clients who have died in past 24 hours due to COVID. Three phone calls to my law office in one day from their families. Come on people. COVID is real. People are dying. Get vaccinated. Forget your feel good freedom rallies/seminars and GET VACCINATED

    Simple request...QUIT using the Coronavirus as a “political opportunity”. It is really disgusting. See it on both sides at all levels! Just STOP IT. People are sick, dying and our lives have changed. Be kind and caring. Making a statement just to be political is sickening
