So where do you get your news? If you are in a pinch and you need to know something where do you go?

Why are you guys talking to the new sock? They are so clueless that it's a waste of your time. They let Rachel Maddow form their entire worldview.
Everyone was new at some point. I'm just here to make friends and talk politics.
I don't for a second believe Ukraine was the deciding, or even a significant, factor in Trump's win.
At the most by far Trump will deport is 2M of say 12M illegals here. I think it will be <05.M. We'll see.
Besides the US, which countries do we have business in? Why those?

I listened to this on the way to work the other day. My stance on Trump is let him and his administration do what they feel is appropriate and we can judge him at midterms. I don't want him impeded so that we can fairly assess him without people crying foul or using scapegoats in the event he fails.
I hope that I eat a lot of crow over the next few years.
Kentucky has the 5th highest unemployment rate in the nation.
Thanks Andy!
Thanks Andy!
“News” comes from X feed, a lot of shit posted here, WSJ and Bloomberg. Accounts I have generally found to be accurate or have good perspective after years.
If it’s something that actually matters to me (like tax policy), I go to the source documents.
Why don’t you go ahead and tell me where you warhawks are going to drop bombs next, and I’ll tell you if I agree with it.
If we are going to back any coups or help over throw current regimes to promote freedom and western ideals, I could probably be convinced we start with Canada and England.
Corrupt shitholes like Ukraine can live under Russian rule do all I care.
I'm good with that. I just think too many illegals are too imbedded in the workforce/economy & yes, society, to evict more than criminals, gangs(if there's a difference), & recent arrivals, meaning 1-4 years. It's clear we need people to do manual labor that most Americans won't anymore. Funny, I'm having more insulation put in today & I judge they're all native Americans. Not easy work imo.
The data I see for 3Q is national at 4.2% & KY at 4.8%. I guess KY has been higher than national average for many years.
I’m talking about aggressive and criminal acts committed specifically by illegals. Not overall national statistics. You know, the ones that aren’t supposed to be here just like those Russians inside your Ukraine.
A citizen getting raped and their head bashed in with a rock by an illegal and a citizen getting raped and shot in the head by a Russian soldier are both horrific things that should not be happening.
The difference is you have outrage over one and silence over the other. Why is that?
Thanks. So I take from this your belief is next to none & thus that we should exit all defense treaties (Yes, I know we have none with Ukraine.).
I disagree - we've been around on this several times - & if that makes me a warhawk in your eyes, I'm fine with that. There are too many worldwide bad anti-freedom actors that will take immediate exit from Ukraine as a greenlight to do whatever they want wherever. That won't end well for us imo.
You're not here to do either. Guys, please ignore Dion's sock.
Bad data from the FBI mislead about crime - Washington Examiner
The fourth quarter 2023 crime report from the FBI, the federal government’s official keeper of crime data, is unreliable at best and deceptive at worst.
www.washingtonexaminer.com
The FBI’s preliminary 2023 data show murder declined by 13.2% across the country and violent crime dropped 5.7% compared to 2022 levels. Various news headlines have reported the FBI’s numbers unquestioningly, claiming murder is “plummeting” and violent crime “declined significantly” to pre-pandemic levels.
But these latest figures warrant skepticism, as we outline in a new report. In fact, violent crime is up substantially from 2019 levels, and last year’s apparent drop is less significant than it appears.
Part of the problem is how police departments report offenses to the FBI. The FBI asked, then demanded, that law enforcement agencies “transition” away from the system they used for decades to a new, more detailed but onerous one. The 2021 mandate to use NIBRS to submit crime data proved a disaster as overstretched departments, especially in large cities, failed to reach compliance and thus did not submit data.
In 2019, 89% of agencies covering 97% of the population submitted data, but by 2021, that coverage plummeted to less than 63% of departments overseeing just 65% of the population. Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City all failed to submit crime data. To increase participation, the FBI relaxed the NIBRS requirement in 2022, allowing agencies to report via the legacy system.
But many other cities, such as St. Louis, which had transitioned to the new method, still struggle to comply and submit partial or faulty data. The FBI compensates by relying more heavily on “estimation,” or informed guesswork, to fill in the gaps and produce aggregated data.
Baloney. You're Dion. A liar and a fraud.
or you're Nightwish.
Either way, you're a troll.
NPR? Really? LOL you're not good at this.
Have listened to WUKY for years and I think it is a great resource, albeit skewing a little towards the left.
Also read the BBC, associated press, and listen to TLDR daily.
I'm none of these guys, though, it is convenient that none have commented since I've jumped on board. Still, hoping to have some good discussions with you guys.
This mentality is a part of the reason we are in the current predicament. It's bullshit. If the economy is doing well, then companies can pay more.
He's not Dion. Dion's been on here taking our crap for years and doesn't play the sock account game. He may be a sock for somebody, but it isn't Dion.
Dude. You're not fooling ANYONE.
Keep flogging that chicken, troll.
You haven't had a good discussion yet. All you've done is lied and misrepresented and failed to respond.
Want to show you're for real?
Fine.
How did you find this forum and why is your first comment in the political thread instead of the Rafters or the Lair? This is a KENTUCKY SPORTS FORUM.
I’m unable to tag Dion and can’t go to his page. Maybe he has me on ignore and that’s why, but something definitely reeks of Karl Marx in here right now.
Maybe him and Tpush or whoever got a timeout for wanting to fight each other and Dion trying to dox him.
Did Dion get banned? Don't think he has posted much lately...then again the thread moves by super fast now so maybe I have missed it.
Seems Rand Paul is all in on criminals, but not very many others, as I read:
Mentioned that before. Posted under Sheppard15 from 05-09. I partied with Dusty Mills a time or two and had a buddy play at Berea and scrimmaged the team prior to them playing down in Knoxville (Meeks 54 game). These were my only major contributions to RR. Rupp Rafters was a bit too much and I switched to Twitter, but kept up with Gyero during that time because of those dude's connections. Recently started reading other threads and this one caught my attention because of the confidence in Trump. After the election I made a point to get on here and offer a different viewpoint.
I have shown more articles that I care to admit and want this to be more of a discussion than a debate. So anytime I feel like I can interject with a different viewpoint with knowledge I will. Don't plan on badmouthing during my time and hopefully we all learn a little bit more from opposing sides.
anti-freedom actors lol
Yes, that’s what the US government is fighting these wars for.
Christ.
The same people supporting this Ukraine bullshit are the people who locked the country down during Covid. Same people supporting Zelenski suspending elections. Same people who supported the 2014 coup.
Pretending this is about “freedom” is delusional.
We should bear in mind these libs arent here to discuss ANYTHING.
They're only here to troll: they likely have most of us on Ignore.
hahaha TPush showed up out of nowhere and baited dion into getting banned...priceless
I have never learned anything from a Democrat, in almost 50 years of being interested in politics.
Never.
They know NOTHING.
And they learn NOTHING.
All they do is disrupt and destroy. Their policies wrecked the economy and world peace in less than 4 years in charge. They've wasted and stolen trillions.
You'll be no different. Posting links from NPR and pretending to want to have a discussion. You're a joke, man. Why wouldn't we have confidence in Trump? He's already been president and things were great. And he's assembled some of the smartest minds in the country to his team.
What is going to be your benchmark for success? From January 20th until July, what are things you are expecting or excited about with the next presidency?
Nice, that's something I could do were I so inclined. I've gotten under his skin on many occasions. He's a midwit loser on a path to nowhere imho.
They're NPCs.
I got caught up in several polls, especially after the debate they had. Was still pretty confident, but that one dude from Chicago that has worked with the RNC for years had me very nervous. Went to be around 10:30 knowing the results.
A lawyer on Gutfeld said something profound this week. She said that what the media does is take the Republican position on anything, and write headlines/articles that are the exact OPPOSITE. That's why you get these abominations like the MSNBC article saying Laken Riley's killer never stood a chance. They truly don't realize how they come across to the public. So Trump picks RFK Jr., who was LAUDED by the press in 2008 when OBAMA picked him, and they trash him over nonsense BECAUSE Trump picked him.
Ah so you’re NW then.
Hahahahaha...nice try, chump...you want to draw me into a debate so you can try to nitpick and post your stupid CNN/NPR/Vox links and pretend that you're smart.
NOBODY here thinks you're smart.
NOBODY here will agree with you except for other idiots like samdumbgeisha.
80% of this thread will block you within a week.
Give it up. I'm not interested in feeding you. I'm not interested in the inner workings of your tiny brain.
