"White allies need help overcoming ambivalence in their anti-racism commitments" - Dr. Yara Mekawi University of Louisville Color Lab Professor
Despite Kentucky law banning DEI in public colleges and universities, the University of Louisville still has a Color Lab. An associate professor from this Color Lab, Dr. Yara Mekawi, was recorded by an undercover journalist from Accuracy in Media (AIM) giving a presentation on Beyond Fragility at the American Psychological Association (APA) conference on moving beyond white fragility.
In it, Yara Mekawi talks about using psychology to help white people overcome their guilt and the mental issues they develop from being white and how to become a better white ally.
The University of Louisville receives $134 million a year in state taxpayer funds, and Mekawi is a government employee.
It is wrong to push ideas that treat people differently based upon their skin color. It is wrong to tell people they should feel guilty, oppressed, or emotional just because of the color of their skin. It is wrong to use taxpayer funds to push these ideas.
The Legislature needs to put some real teeth in their DEI law, otherwise it was all just performative nonsense.

- Products were manufactured for no one in order to keep billions in taxpayer funds, with some spontaneously catching fire and requiring forklifts to move flaming pallets into water dunk tanks.

-Mold stalagmites are growing in an abandoned building that hundreds of millions in taxpayer funds were spent constructing just a few years ago.

These are just some of the issues at the now-shuttered and currently being refitted Ford battery plant in Glendale, Kentucky.

The state of Kentucky gave Ford $350 million in taxpayer funds to build these plants in the form of free land, taxpayer-funded training, and a $250 million forgivable loan. The federal government gave them billions more. However, in order to keep these funds, Ford had to hit certain job targets. This led to the manufacturing of batteries for no one, with these fire hazards simply being stored on site.

Whistleblower Thomas Walling, a former member of the Emergency Response Team at the plant, is speaking out about the concerns all Kentuckians should have and the waste of taxpayer funds that has occurred.

He believes the plant may bounce back, but the question remains: how much of our tax dollars has been wasted chasing the EV pipe dream in Kentucky?

Beshear struggles with the concept that not everything is about him, as he suggests that pre-K for all hasn’t passed in Kentucky because it’s his idea—not because it is an expensive, bad idea. I discuss the real reasons why it hasn't (and shouldn’t) pass.
Rocky Adkins declares he is running for governor—a relic of a bygone Democrat era trying to hold on, despite how much modern Democrats would take issue with his past behaviors.
Tax dollars are being used to push data centers in Kentucky despite their controversial nature. If our government was really meant to represent us, you’d think they would stop spending our money on projects a significant number of people don’t agree with—and that the vast majority do not want in their backyards.

Beshear lied from the podium at a press conference while claiming State Representative Bivens is spreading "misinformation" and should be ashamed.

The state Supreme Court ruled that Beshear regained the power to control the Fair Board and the Executive Ethics Commission.

Outside of the absurdity that the commissions and boards the legislature created by statute can now no longer be changed by the legislature, the ruling had another impact.

When Beshear regained power over the board, he immediately appointed new commissioners and fired the Fair Board CEO weeks before the state fair. He also removed agriculture from the mission statement.

When asked about the change in the mission statement and the removal of agriculture from it, Beshear lied. He claimed he didn’t even know if the Fair Board’s website was the Fair Board’s website and that they hadn’t changed anything—which, of course, is false.

Also, the JCPS audit is out. I’ll give you a quick summary of the findings before I dig deeper into the audit next week.

A data center developer is attempting to build in Kentucky and is getting pretty upset that citizens in the community won’t let him rezone the land. However, he’s getting some help from members of the government who are trying to push the data center for the tax revenues.
Brian Luftman, founder and president of American Farm Investors, sent a letter to Mercer County Planning & Zoning, throwing a fit that they won’t rezone his property. After hitting a roadblock with the county, he attempted to have the property annexed into the city of Burgin to get around county zoning and planning.
The city then tried to hide what it was doing to allow the data center, but it was caught by the public anyway and canceled the meeting. I’ll go through this whole saga, which may not be over.
Also, FCPS is in quite the drama with its attempt to oust Liggins, and he is not going quietly.

A 3 a.m. email throws a Kentucky school district into chaos as the FCPS superintendent quits — but doesn’t quit, but definitely quits. I’ll read what most would call his resignation letter and point out just how ridiculous this all is. Hopefully we can all learn the dangers of emailing your employer at 3 a.m. from this.
JCPS is building some new schools despite losing students.
UK is coming under fire for a Cayman Islands trip, and I’ll update you on how else the government is wasting your money.

Beshear admits he is trying to sell the idea of data centers to Kentuckians.
I discuss exactly why politicians everywhere are giving away tax incentives and taxpayer cash in order to attract massive data centers to their areas, despite the citizens they are supposed to represent not wanting them there. Beshear gave us a huge hint as to why with his statements.

Dr. Ralph Alvarado, Republican candidate for Congress in Kentucky’s 6th District, sits down with me to break down the biggest issues facing America: Iran, Israel, Ukraine, reckless government spending, and our exploding national debt.

We also tackle the tough questions head-on — addressing the reasons some voters have hesitated to support him and what he has to say in response.

The House impeached a judge for the first time since 1916.

Then a Supreme Court Justice threatened every House member with felonies — and disbarment if they were lawyers — for daring to do it. There were 4 other impeachment petitions filed… including one against another Supreme Court Justice. So what actually happened? How did it all go down?

I sat down with Rep. Steve Doan, a member of the House Impeachment Committee, to break it all down — the drama, the threats, the court battles, and what this unprecedented session really means for Kentucky.

We also talk about the high-stakes GOP primary between Congressman Thomas Massie and challenger Ed Gallrein.

Beshear declares a state of emergency!
But it's not snowing, flooding, the wind isn't blowing, and a mass amount of people don't have the sniffles. So what is the emergency? Gas prices, he says. His orders include activating price-gouging laws, lowering the gas tax, and stopping a future hike.
I'll break down exactly what he did, and importantly, did he do the same thing under Biden?
