Terry Forcht, who has 86 businesses, told the East Kentucky Leadership Conference last week that if you want financial success go to a small town in Eastern Kentucky and work hard. That’s what he did. It also helps to have capital. Guess that’s where Forcht Bank comes in!

My friend Terry Anderson, who died last week, was held by Islamic militants for 2,454 days; it was only a small part of his life, but it changed it forever, in many ways, most of them not good. But he pushed through it until the end. economist.com/obituary/2024/… from @TheEconomist

At the #WHCD Colin Jost had a good routine but it often seemed to be a tough crowd for him. Maybe it was because so many things he joked about are real-life, existential concerns to so many in the crowd. But in the end he scored with "decency" and his Staten Island grandfather.

“Perhaps the biggest irony is that, because Biden’s DOJ was so concerned about avoiding the appearance of politically motivated prosecutions, it took almost his entire term to get the case against Trump this far; if Trump wins the election, U.S. v. Trump will fade, but Trump v.…
Speaker Johnson has received much deserved credit for getting Ukraine aid through the House; now Biden folks dish (mainly not for attribution) to make sure their boss gets the credit he deserves, too. Decades of experience dealing with other pols is useful.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Glad Poynter picked up the ASNE contest but sad to see its president say “journalism industry.” The industry is the news business, which pays for journalism — which can be done for free; all Americans have the First Amendment right to commit journalism. editorandpublisher.com/stories/here-a…

A few days ago I said the House vote on Ukraine and the ensuing recriminations set the stage for a 2026 Senate primary between @RepAndyBarr and @RepThomasMassie (and likely @DanielCameronKY). Here's a closer look at that, and the votes of Comer and Rogers. nkytribune.com/2024/04/news-a…
Just so there’s no confusion: I’m not a partisan and had no part in the silliness cited below.

Many doubt these premises of @LeaderMcConnell but I don't: "Prosperity and security are the products of decades of American leadership. Our global interests come with global responsibilities. ... The primary language of strategic competition is strength." youtube.com/watch?v=Ftu2oN…
You have to wonder what would have happened to Ukraine aid if @LeaderMcConnell hadn’t led the fight for it, overcoming a rising and powerful element in his party. The whole world should be thankful that he did; the axis of evil won’t. Nuff said. mcconnell.senate.gov/public/index.c…

In a world that often seems ruled by opinion, Johnson pointed to the facts — the intelligence on Ukraine and Russia — and led the way. This is what the leader of a legislative body is supposed to do, especially on foreign policy and national security. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
It’s a tough job, but I tire of the overly contentious, conversus-interrtuptus approach of @margbrennan on “Face the Nation.” You don’t want to let guests shade the truth in a limited time slot but you have to let them finish their point first. And not be so argumentative.

@ruralj It’s legit hard to laugh about the decline of democracy/institutions
@ruralj Everything is so upside down right now that satire is difficult.
@ruralj He twisted the knife about how they are sadly becoming irrelevant with the rise of self-tailored info silos, and I think he handled the chilly reception very well. He’s a pro.
@ruralj Correct. But your tweet reminded me of all the people who were so, so wrong.
@ruralj @margbrennan Overcorrection for a tradition of sycophancy in the Sunday press shows. I agree you let them finish their answers unless they’re filibustering.
“The @ACSCAN is disappointed that our message was not heard, and a significant investment was not made in programs to help prevent kids from starting to use tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, and help those already addicted to quit.” #KYga24 @ruralj kyhealthnews.blogspot.com/2024/04/top-se…
A wonderful tribute today in the Senate for @dhangeld. She’s been a “quiet warrior” for decades advocating for victims of domestic violence & sexual assault. As remarked by her colleagues- her kindness & determination will be enduring marks of her tenure.
Most of my @KentuckyMBB memories are during the Calipari era—and many are fantastic. But I went to my first game with my dad in 2008, and I went to today’s press conference with my parents. It’s not just that Kentucky is more than one coach. Kentucky is more than basketball.
Somebody pinch me: My 16yo autistic kid interviewed for (and got!) their 1st job yesterday & told the manager they needed clear instructions w/ minimal inference. Y’all, the fast food manager has a master’s in behavioral science & worked w/ autistic kids for years (*not* ABA).
Ponder this: Mark Stoops had never won a game as a HC when he was hired at UK. Now, he is the all-time winningest football coach in school history. You never know how a coach will do until you give him a chance
Speaking truth to governors, no matter what letter comes after their name, is an essential function of working journalists.
I applaud @GovAndyBeshear when he talks of protecting KY’s “lost, lonely + left-behind.” But how can he then want to dismantle the state’s Open Records Act when it’s protected the very same individuals for a half-century? #HB509 is a bad bill, Andy amp.kentucky.com/news/politics-…

Dawn Staley is a role model this world needs. A masterclass in sportsmanship.
Dawn Staley personally thanks Caitlin Clark for lifting up women's basketball. All class.
I can name 7 Big Ten football coaches who wish they had offensive linemen who blocked this hard.
@CoalitionHoops Slo-mo accentuates it!
Emphatically disagree with ESPN voices on the late offensive foul against UConn. A foul is a foul is a foul. First minute or last minute.
It’s a moving screen. Correct call.
I didn't like the call. This changed my mind
