How many $7 bottles of beer ya gonna buy?ottled beer at @AOC’s old bar went for SEVEN DOLLARS A PIECE
Yet the bar still went out of business when NYC implemented a $15/hour minimum wage law
Universities are total endoctrination zones for communism , I am proud to say I almost got kicked out of college and not for grades
About 10 years ago I stopped my annual alumni funding at the University of Kentucky. Like most UK grads I received phone calls and letters from every fund raiser hired at UK. Since graduation in 1965 I sent thousands of dollars to the university. Then I realized all I was doing was funding nonsense like this. Tuition is sky high and way over priced. Conservatives are treated like second class citizens. The entire establishment at UK is like every other liberal university in America so I had enough.
A few years ago I got a phone call from the 859 area code asking if I would like to contribute. They said they could always count on me in the past. So I had a heart to heart talk with the man on the other end of the phone. I let him know my university is no longer a fair university. People who believe as I do are not welcome and my values are not taught in the class room. So I recommend he call someone who does agree and who has money to throw away. I now give to charities that matter.

Wow. 218 miles in 13 months. Believe it when I see it.

Wait a minute, kids are starving and without shelter but their biggest concern is a painting?
I agree with the idea that colleges are a racket and that it is expensive beyond anything remotely reasonable, however, if you're a poor minority, you nor your parents are paying for college.
I would like to have the food "insecurity" explained in more detail. The common cafeteria on campus, as well as the other UK food service places, is fairly inexpensive The commons was all you could eat when I went through. The university doesn't set the price of the corporate/chain type restaurants that are on campus.
As far as housing, all the new dorms they've built over the past handful of years cost something like a half billion. So, yeah it's going to cost some money to stay on campus but like with tuition assistance typically you get a break if you're below a certain financial threshold.
My first question if I were president Cap would be "how many of you are getting any kind of financial assistance already, secondly, how many of you are working at least part-time?"
Don’t try to understand their logic they are mentally diseased
And like I said, how many kids basically lived in their friends' dorms back in the day when the dorms were terrible and cramped? Now they have bathrooms inside the suites, rooftop patios, etc. You're telling me none of these kids allegedly sleeping in their cars could find ONE person to let them crash on the floor? The whole thing is fake, or at least presented in a way that conceals the fact that any normal person could solve these problems in under 2 minutes, with no extra money or positions added
Then to top that off, when Kavanaugh had tons of people (many women) defending him and his character. All these people saying, "Biden is a kind and harmless man, trust me I know him." Were the same people bashing those people for coming out and saying just because you may have had good experiences with him doesn't mean you know how he secretly treated other people. The hypocrisy being shown is just too much to handle.
With that said. I honestly don't think Biden has done anything that is worthy of basically having to stand down from public life. Ya the dude is the old creepy uncle, people have been making those jokes for years. All of this has been known for a long time, but none of it is criminal. So by my standards I don't think he should have to step down from public life. But ya if we are going by the standards set by the left, Biden should've stepped down the second someone said something and everyone on the left should've been calling for his head.
Now I understand he isn't being accused of rape. But these are the same people that say catcalling is sexual harassment, any unwanted or awkward advance by a man to a woman is sexual harassment. According to them what Biden has done over and over should be considered sexual harassment.
Umm, okay.
You can't make this stuff up.

Normal people: Wait so maybe climate change not as bad as some thought
Progressives: Oh my god learn the difference between weather and climate!!!
A hot week or a hurricane
Progressives: Oh my god see climate change is killing this earth.
Normal People: I thought you said weather and climate were different?
Progressives: Science denier!!!!
This is essentially the climate debate now.

Two years ago Matt Jones and Adam Edlen, who is currently running for Governor as a Democrat started a political group in Kentucky which was designed to "save politics in Kentucky." It has now dissolved. Matt has a lot going for him as one of the most visible leaders of Big Blue Nation. He has parlayed fan interest in UK sports into a very lucrative career. However, as a general rule business and politics don't mix well together. They both often wind up suffering because of the mix. I've never met Matt Jones but my unsolicited advice would be to dump poltics and stick with what has made you successful. Kentucky is much too of a conservative state for you to have a reasonable chance of statewide election or even a Congressional election.

Save politics in Kentucky from what? It's the height of arrogance if he believes it's in trouble simply because he doesn't agree with the outcomes. That's like national Democrats wanting to do away with the Electorial college simple because 40 of the 50 states will never vote for them. If the issue is people won't vote for what you want then the issue is you not politics in general.
Freedom of speech and college should not be used in the same sentence. There is no such thing as freedom of speech for certain people in our society.

Saw snow on pine needles of trees on the morning of Derby Day here in NKy. Believe it was 1987 or 88.
I really like KSR and Hey Kentucky... its going to be hilarious when everyone's children become liberals by learning politics from Matt.

States don’t vote. People do. If it were reversed Repubs would be doing the same thing
This will allow Mitch to confirm a parade of judges over the next year at a rate of 3 per day if he wanted.
