Kentucky’s version of Donald Trump — loser former Governor Matt Bevin — just won’t go away no matter how much Kentucky Republicans wish it.  Bevin is an early Christmas present to Kentucky Democrats because he won’t STFU, especially about his criminal pardon fest as he was leaving office.  I’m not sure if...

I will vote for Amy McGrath, and I have given her money before.  I will support her to the best of my ability.  I want to get all that on the record because I’m going to layout what I think is some caution about her political strategy.  McGrath is going...

Martha McSally ran for Congress multiple times in 2012, both in a special election that year and in the regular election. She lost both races. She tried a third time in the wave election year of 2014, and won by the skin of her teeth—under 200 votes.  She then ran...

People from the deep South do not consider Kentuckians to be Southerners, but we really are to be honest.  Yes, technically we are a border state that never seceded from the Union, but we had slavery.  And many of our attitudes are similar to other Southerners.  And we are now...

Unlike the late night comics, I didn’t find it funny nor amusing that Trump called himself an “extremely stable genius” and then went around the room to demand his toadies proclaim how great and calm he was after his temper tantrum. It wasn’t funny to me—more along the lines of...

Callie June was adopted by two loving parents, who immediately had to put her in Cincinnati Children’s Hospital to deal with her stage four cancer. Her parents, already working multiple jobs, did what most Americans are forced to do when confronted with high medical bills: They set up a GoFundMe page.  ...

Some of the gutless GOP Senators decided to blab to the Washington Post and Politico about the latest meeting they had with the Mad King Trump.  The Mad King is feeling GREAT! and wants to fuck over Puerto Rico and take away healthcare from millions.  We have the usual frauds...

I have some issues with outgoing Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill.  Yes, I am definitely going to miss her vote in the Senate, especially now that the Republicans have a greater majority in that “august” body.  But I have to nitpick on some of what she said in an NPR interview...

I want to highlight what Mike Lux over at Crooks and Liars has written about the redstate Senate contests in 2018 and 2020.  No, it is not gloom and doom. In 2018, we saw three different strategies to winning in red state America. The first was to run as a...

As with many, I’ve been trying to look at some numbers now of several disappointing Democratic races in several redstates to make some sense of what happened.  It’s taken some time to actually look at the numbers because I got my hopes up and the let down has been painful. ...

I do not know what to say, except I was dead wrong on two U.S. Senate Races:  IN and TN.  I thought for sure that Donnelly would win because, well, he threw people like me under a bus and ran the bus back over me.  I do not know if...

There is record setting early voting turnout for Tennessee, but what does this mean for Phil Bredesen?  Once again, in my miniseries on “What is going on in other states because there is not much happening in Kentucky?”, I’m just trying to figure out if I should be hopeful or...

I’m seething a little bit here, because I just listened to Karl Rove on Fox “News” smear the victim. Fox has been constantly reminding people that Brett Kavanuagh’s victim, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, is a registered Democrat. Breitbart jumped in and dug up some dirt on her: she had the audacity to oppose Trump’s child cages,...

According to a friend of mine on Facebook — a hardcore conservative, there is a story being promulgated by Redstate that Beto O’Rourke’s campaign asked a VFW chapter to take down their flag while he was there.  This is my first official brush with fake news.  I really have not been...

Could we all just take a few moments, access our current political mess, and maybe have a ceasefire among those who resist Trump and his policies?   As to my meager qualifications for calling for a ceasefire, I offer the following about my past stances and transgressions: I’m a partisan Democrat who...

When a new blockbuster movie comes out, the producers know that they're in trouble when the rave reviews they can put on their ads are all about the scenery, the costumes, and the theme song. When the critics don't mention the stars or the plot, you know you're in deep...

If Redstate Democrats want cover for maybe — they are all quiet for now — not voting for Trump’s evenutal judicial nominee to the SCOTUS, I think they could argue that a vote for a Trump nominee means the death of healthcare coverage and protections brought by the ACA to millions.  Just...
