Mitch McConnell: “Mitch McConnell has once again come out to try and kill a relief bill to help struggling Americans.”

So I hate that I’ll miss the fun this year, but I’m sending my best wishes to the St. Jerome community for a successful picnic.

There’s no place I’d rather be on the first Saturday in August than with the good people of western Kentucky, feasting on pork and mutton.

On the advice of my doctors, I’ll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period.

But, my, how times have changed. Today, western Kentucky is a conservative Republican sea of red.
