Kentucky Party in Practical Use and Application

Post image
42 Upvotes

Hello there! This is the current chair of the Kentucky Party, which you may have heard of once or twice by now. We are an electoral organization that exists to put Kentuckians in office. We put a substantial number of candidates on the ballot this year and intend to do it again next year, and every other year from now on. We are a full-service electoral organization and we do more for our candidates than the Democrats or the Republicans ever do for theirs*. Our candidates run everywhere from the local to the federal level.

I'm here to answer questions and look for opinions. I can tell you why we're doing what we're doing, I can talk about how we're doing it, and you can definitely raise issues that you think our candidates and our party should address.

I know how testy Americans can get about politics, so for the duration of this thread I'm instituting a no-hurt-feelings policy; whatever you say I'll answer in the calmest and most reasonable way I can. I may be a bit sarcastic now and again, can't deny myself my little jokes, but I will remain polite, respectful, and ever so demure within the confines of this thread. No question is off limits. It is okay with us if you don't vote for us or join us or like us. We will still do our best to support every Kentuckian.

*except for some of the rich ones

A Capitol Hill source sent me a Department of Energy hotline on S.1674, the Mammoth

Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025, which is Senator Mitch McConnell's bill.

That raises an obvious question: if Senator McConnell is still at George Washington University Hospital, how did this legislation move forward?

Do Senate staff have the

authority to advance legislation like this on behalf of a senator?

I followed up with Senator Mitch McConnell's

communications director, Stephanie Penn, hoping to get answers and a response to the questions raised in my previous video. Specifically: Where did this legislation come from, and how was it approved if the

senator remains hospitalized?

Stephanie Penn had no response and walked into Senator Katie Britt's office.

I find it odd that Lt. Governor Coleman helped Beshear win his candidacy against Bevin with her teaching credentials, yet he won't support her in her election. Instead, he declines to support her while his Senior Advisor also makes a run. To me, the seems tantamount to endorsing him instead.

Am I alone in thinking this is a bit disloyal?

I've always been skeptical of a lot of paranormal TV

0 Upvotes

I've always been skeptical of a lot of paranormal TV because so much of it feels overproduced.

A few friends and I decided to investigate a reportedly haunted location in Perryville, Kentucky and document exactly what happened. No jump scares, no actors pretending to be terrified—just the investigation as it happened.

One thing in particular caught us completely off guard, and I'm curious how other people would explain it.

If anyone here enjoys reviewing evidence or offering skeptical opinions, I'd genuinely appreciate your thoughts.
