I lost my beautiful sister yesterday. I know she’s with her Lord, but half my soul is gone.

"Nothing more..Nothing Less, A WIN!"

My son announced on Tuesday evening, during dinner, that for Halloween he wanted to dress up as a fart. I literally almost choked on the water I was drinking. He’s six years old. He was just sitting there, serious, with spaghetti sauce on his chin, saying: “I want to be a big brown fart cloud.” My husband looked at me like it was my job to handle the situation. I didn’t know what to say. Where do kids even get these ideas? I told him absolutely not. To pick something normal — a superhero, a dinosaur, anything else. He made that stubborn face that means “he’s never going to let this go.” He started explaining to me, with the utmost seriousness, that farts are funny, that everyone would laugh, and that it would be the best costume ever. I was exhausted after work, my head was pounding, and I lost my patience. I said: fine. You want to be a fart? Make it yourself. I’ll help you find the materials, but the rest is up to you. I thought he’d give up after ten minutes. He didn’t. He spent the next three days in the living room, working with brown and beige fabrics I helped him order, because apparently he needed “fart-colored tulle” — a phrase I never thought I’d say. He watched tutorials on my phone about how to gather fabric, asked me for help with the knots, but insisted on arranging every single layer himself. He got frustrated twice, was close to crying, but kept going. His little hands working carefully, his tongue between his teeth as he focused. Yesterday he finished. He put it on and strutted around the house, proudly showing it off to his father and grandmother, who both looked absolutely stunned. I thought I’d be embarrassed, but instead I felt a strange pride. My son said he wanted to be a fart, I told him to figure it out himself, and he… actually did it. He’s been sleeping in it for two nights. Two neighbors have already asked if I can make one for their kids, too. I told them he’s taking orders now. Eight dollars per cloud. He’s never been so confident in his life.

We are the sandstorm.

The Honor Guard should always (unless in theatre) be in blues (or, dress uniform). Why is that so hard? It’s about respect!! #BBN

Gov. Beshear’s office just told the legislature they missed the tax-cut trigger by more than $1 billion. Now he’s proposing to spend the newly forecast $1.7 billion surplus on more wealth-redistribution socialist programs instead of giving working Kentuckians an income tax cut. State Budget Director John Hicks sent the letter earlier this month. General Fund receipts fell $1.19 billion short of the target needed for another half-point drop in the income tax. That’s the second year in a row the trigger was missed. The soonest another cut could even be considered is 2029. The legislature set up a framework to get the income tax to zero. It requires a surplus large enough last year to cover what the next cut would cost in revenue the following year. That target was missed. Yesterday the Consensus Forecasting Group raised the revenue estimates for the next few years: $997.9 million extra in FY 2027 and $708 million extra in FY 2028. Combined with the prior surplus and unexpected corporate payments, that’s the $1.7 billion Beshear wants to lock in for new spending. He says it’s needed to offset “President Trump’s harmful tariffs.” Apparently an income tax cut for everyone doesn’t do that, but Pre-K for All somehow does. Because Trump tariffed Pre-K, I guess. The same administration that sent the letter saying we don’t have the money for a tax cut now says we have plenty of money — as long as it stays in Frankfort and goes to programs. Every time receipts come in higher than expected, the first instinct is to spend it rather than let people keep more of what they earn. The rainy-day fund is already well above the statutory healthy level. If the extra revenue is real, the legislature should use it to meet the tax-cut triggers or simply cut the rate now.

Preach, brother.

I watched Alan Cutler today and I was left with one question. How can KY fans listen to Matt Jones and waste two hours every morning? Alan has guests, Will's dad, Jeremy Caudill, Writer John, Van Hiles, and his own expertise which tells the story. Find Alan on Youtube.

This is the greatest photo I’ve ever seen

Job well done guys!!! 🎉 #WeAreUK

ABSOLUTELY! 💯

So you don’t like the price of gas? Answer me this. Who shut down the Keystone pipeline? Who shut down the off shore drilling? Who shut down the drilling in Alaska? Who shut down the Line 5 in Michigan? Who shut down drilling on Federal Land? Sorry windmills and solar panels do not put gas in your cars. Oh, how many refineries have closed in the last 5 years?

Your weekly reminder: Charles Booker is the Mamdani of Kentucky.

The days of defrauding the American taxpayer are coming to an end. For too long, many in the homelessness industrial complex have tried to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people. Instead of helping those in need, these people are lining their own pockets. I applaud @SecretaryTurner and AG Blanche and the entire Trump administration for bringing these fraudsters to justice.

Why am I just finding out that the man who shot at President Trump, Thomas Mathew crooks, had his cremation anonymously funded? I can’t be the only one that finds that’s weird right?

🚨 BOOM! Democrats are STUNNED after the Detroit News just formally endorsed Mike Rogers (R) for the U.S. Senate race in Michigan over Abdul El Sayed (D) They did NOT expect that 🔥 It looks like Abdul’s Islamist and socialist ways are catching up with him. It’s getting so bad, rumor has it Abdul is asking Kamala Harris to campaign for him 😭 Momentum is with Rogers! ELECT THIS PATRIOT

Karen Bass suddenly stepped down from LAHSA a few days ago. Today, HUD Secretary Turner just revealed that $75M of fraud was laundered through LAHSA. Probably nothing!
