GA has over 10 million people. We have 4.4 million.
@StevenStackMD pouring the heat on schools. Really doesn’t want kids in safe havens for some reason.
Meet @StevenStackMD he really loves seeing the increases in homocode, suicide, drug overdoses, and child and domestic abuse. Wants them to continue.
After learning in a committee meeting today that the flu kills more kids than #COVID19, @StevenStackMD says get a vaccine.
@GovAndyBeshear back at the podium. Reporters phone not on silent going off.
Jesus Christ, @GovAndyBeshear says his kids asked him and his wife if they were going to die when they were sick the other day. Asked if they were going to die.
@ruralj asks what state law he could use to allow businesses to refuse to accept money from people who don’t #MaskUp.
@GovAndyBeshear says businesses should say they won’t serve if they don’t have a masks. Says they can blame him.
Oh, we will.
Question on if @GovAndyBeshear if he’s worrying about kids in Appalachia getting left behind in virtual learning.
Says he is, but believes risk of #COVID19 is worse.
@d_yetter asking about today’s program review committee. She sat in the back and took notes on how to ask @GovAndyBeshear the worst question she could think of. Asked about legislators not collaborating about Covid numbers.
Beshear uses the question to swip at legislators.
Beshear says questioning the facts is dangerous and said it’s not leadership to ignore the data.
They are not ignoring it, @GovAndyBeshear. You are overstating it’s using it to fear monger.
Some sort of question about vaping. Again, @StevenStackMD doesn’t know.
@GovAndyBeshear uses it to go after Warren, Hardin, and Green county public schools again.
@BESHEAR keeps mentioning that we’re at the height of the pandemic as reason not to go to school, he shut the state down when we were really low, but he let bars reopen & announced derby will take place now? No consistency. Doesn’t take himself seriously so we won’t.
Question about private schools being asked by @GovAndyBeshear to have testing, but reporter notes public universities are not either.
Beshear says they all should do testing.
@GovAndyBeshear says he has no timeline on #BreonnaTaylor case. Reporter asked if a unfavorable result comes, would derby be insensitive.
Beshear says he hopes activists and derby could work together to convey the right message.
Question about how many people who come to get test has symptoms, how many positives has symptoms.
Beshear doesn’t know.
Says will see if can get data.
Another question from @d_yetter about risk of Covid 19 in kids and the fact it poses statistically no threat to kids.
@GovAndyBeshear says more cases allows for a potentially bad outcome (same is true with more people in the roadways too but we are not paralyzed in fear.)
Says kids can take virus home to elderly family.
Note: districts are offering virtual options for families, so grandparents raising kids could opt out of in-person.
@GovAndyBeshear will be going to his sons baseball game. He’s going to a Pikeville medical center event tomorrow.
Wrapping up. That’s it for us.

These empty robes ruled unanimously in favor of Beshear. That’s okay. It’s time to gear up & assure NONE of them remain on the bench next time they’re up for re-election. Pro Liberty orgs should make this court an election priority. We’ll be spotlighting each Justice below ⬇️⬇️
Good news❗️
Justice Wright, pictured here w/ @GovAndyBeshear’s dad, Steve Beshear, lost his re-election & will be replaced by Bob Conley, a judge who values the Constitution.
Bye 👋 Justice Wrong! Don’t let the mahogany 🚪 of the Court Chamber hit you in the ass on the way out
Unfortunately, @HDebralambert beat Judge Dan Ballou in 2018. Ballou is a constitutionalist & respects inalienable rights. We call on him to run again!
Lambert has the benefit of name ID, but now she has a clear record of spitting on our rights. She represents the 3rd district
We cover stories @courierjournal & others refuse to. Yesterday, the Health & Welfare Committee found @GovAndyBeshear’s reg deficient that would extend food stamps & other govt benefits to dead beat parents who’re not paying their child support. He’ll now decide to either...1/
...honor the legislatures wishes, or allow the policy to be implemented.
Time for some background.
@GovAndyBeshear has brought back Steve Veno, who served as commissioner of the income support office under Steve Beshear’s administration. 2/
After @MattBevin took office, he cleaned out swamp creatures from Frankfort, like Veno, who mismanaged state govt.
Bevin’s commissioner saw imbedded policy & procedure issues, but changing ingrained ideas & policy is difficult. So he requested @KyAuditorHarmon examine. 3/
Our sources allow us to do the quick independent journalism major outlets like the @courierjournal ( @MattGlo ) won’t do. Here’s another example‼️ @GovAndyBeshear’s admin investigated itself & concluded that it did nothing wrong! 😃 1/8
In fact, despite @GovAndyBeshear being the head of the Executive Branch & HIS appointees being at the helm of offices such as UI, it was determined that @MattBevin is to blame! You can’t make this garbage up. Actually, YOU CAN, & the @courierjournal will publish it! 2/8
Okay, now for what @MattGlo & the @courierjournal didn’t include. Let’s take a look at the “Inspector General of @KYTC, Maryellen Mynear,” & ask a reasonable question: “Can she “conducts a full & independent review?” The following info should peak a journalists interests. 3/8
Unsurprisingly, Buckner, legal staff for @GovAndyBeshear began with fear mongering. It’s clear their argument is that fear of #COVID__19 outweighs the fundamental rightist enshrined in the Constitution.
Judge Vanmeter asks Buckner to speak on the argument that @GovAndyBeshear’s execitive actions are arbitrary, citing childcare centers.
Unlikely to be reported by news networks here in KY.
Our sources have confirmed that Robert Conway (Dem who challenged @KYAgCommish for @kentuckyag) has been FIRED as Commissioner of KY State Parks within the @KentuckyTourism, Arts & Heritage cabinet. #TeamKentucky
This isn’t surprising. He clearly has anger issues (see Fancy Farm 2019). Sources say he was providing special perks to his family members staying at parks. He was always unqualified. Leave it to @GovAndyBeshear to make such political appointments. Sen. Thayer was spot on in Jan!
Sonka tweeting about Union Co. schools, which hasn’t even begun in-person learning, shows that even @GovAndyBeshear backing reporters are recognizing fear mongering about a return to in-person learning isn’t playing out like they thought it would.
Yellow numbers are districts that have begun in-person learning prior to @AndyBeshearKY’s arbitrary date of Sept 28 🗓 . Some restarted in August. Red numbers are from true #COVID19 hotspots & also where colleges are located (which have students on campus. Because 💵) 2/6
Blue indicates independent districts.
As you can see, a day of reckoning is not occurring in schools that have dared to defy @GovAndyBeshear, @KyDeptofEd, @LtGovColeman, & @StevenStackMD. In fact, some districts with no in person learning has more cases than those with it! 3/6
