1/Rand Paul was PA born, TX raised, and groomed to take a Kentuckians job. KY elected Paul to the US Senate in 2011. Before passing a single piece of legislation to benefit Kentuckians, Senator Paul used his position to run for President in 2016. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #Kentucky
2/#Rand Paul pretends to live in Kentucky. The average home š” size in KY is 1,750 sq. ft. He really lives in 6,000 sq. ft. Pittsburgh luxury villa with 6 Bedrooms, 5 baths and a pool. #Paulsnot4KY #Kentucky @winchestersun #fancyfarm
3/Rand Paul was never a Kentucky Wildcat, Cardinal, Hilltopper, or Colonel. Paul paid tuition to be a Duke Blue Devil with Christian Laettner. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #BBN #GoCards @WKUSports #GoBigE #waddy
Yesterday, Kentucky completed its highest week ever for new #COVID19 cases.
The most recent weeks are concerning for the beginning of exponential growth.
Iāll share some stats and more reflective thoughts in this thread.

Kentuckyās incidence rate map (#COVID19 cases/100k persons) is very āhot.ā
5 counties are around 50 cases/100k, double the level necessary to be red.
Sadly, people disregarding social distancing and mask use appears to be contributing to the problem.

Other democracies have done much better than USA.
New #COVID19 cases per million people (visual estimate of y-axis):
USA: 22k
Canada: 4.2k
Germany: 3.9k
New Zealand: 0.2k
Itās not the disease, itās our choices as Americans.

#COVID19 is like a casino. If you play long enough, when your luck runs out, the house always wins.
Folks, the USA and Kentucky are in for a world of hurt this autumn if we donāt pull ourselves together real fast.

This isnāt surprising. He clearly has anger issues (see Fancy Farm 2019). Sources say he was providing special perks to his family members staying at parks. He was always unqualified. Leave it to @GovAndyBeshear to make such political appointments. Sen. Thayer was spot on in Jan!
Looks like @geoffsebesta is eating crow. Heās another failed KY @TheDemocrats candidate.

It argues that the plaintiffs are entitled to this relief due to no logical basis for the nature of @GovAndyBeshearās orders. It lays out the case that the orders are making child care centers & other business face permenant closure. It cites @StevenStackMDā own words...2/3

@GovAndyBeshear has taken the germ podium, complete with his face diaper which he is now removing and placing on the germ podium..
@GovAndyBeshear begins with a look back on July. Says it was the toughest month and last week was the toughest week. Says it will have ramifications. Says it will likely me a month with a lot of deaths. Says we should be concerned.
Another @GovAndyBeshear #unemployment disaster this morning in Frankfort. A report from a friend waiting in line at the Frankfort office to fix a claim:

@MuncieMcNamara testifies that shortly after @GovAndyBeshearās initial economic shutdown, former deputy Sec. of the Edu & Workforce Dev. Cabinet received news of a person who committed suicide after losing their business, which prompted efforts to add self-employed to UI benefits
@MuncieMcNamara describes his time as Exec Dir. of the #Unemployment Office as one where hard working & experienced UI staff was told daily how horrible of a job they did, & explains how dictatorial @GovAndyBeshear was in demanding corners be cut, even if violating federal govt.
Describing the 1000 people the @GovAndyBeshear administration hired to simply answer calls, says he never saw a significant amount taking care of those responsibilities.

@GovAndyBeshear says still hopeful steps taken will help, but reporting 790 new cases of #COVID19.
As a recap and refresher, the @kyoag challenge to @GovAndyBeshearās executive orders are based on @AndyBeshearKYās process and broad implementation.
State Law (KRS 39.A) requires a process to be followed. It requires orders to be narrowly tailored. #SCOKY canāt rule based...

Oh, & Grindle, a veteran w/ a masters degree in information technology, was replaced by a donor who is too inexperienced, just as @LtGovColeman appointed a donor to head the UI office. #FAIL.
New CIO is failing to acquire $1.4 billion KY likely qualifies for. Incompetence!

In March, NYC showed us how rapidly and dangerously #COVID19 spreads. Hospitals were overrun. As of July 7, >71,000 New Yorkers have died from COVID19 in <6 months. Kentucky flattened this first potential curve through #HealthyatHome. Graphic 91-divoc.com /2
.@UKGattonCollege demonstrated in April how #HealthyatHome kept Kentuckians safer by flattening the curve. /3
Folks, please take #COVIDć¼19 seriously. This is not a drill. A lot of people will get hurt if enough of us donāt wear masks, socially distance, and sanitize our hands. ā>

Y'all, I was not prepared to do this much research this morning, but you know me. The man who hung the effigy of our governor is Terry Bush, President of KY 3%. From video. From his FB page on the right. The tattoo provides the first ID. #TeamKentucky
You'll find additional pictures of him here.

His wife, Patsy Kays Bush is the Secretary of the group. She was quoted in the media saying she was against it. Are you Patsy? Because your FB tells another story.
I'll be ranting today at the people responsible for the travesty of a protest at the Capital yesterday, shouting over our governor while he read the names of the dead. The mods/admins from their public FB page Kentucky Is Open for Business. #TeamKentucky

What we saw tonight on the stage was a so called Governor, father, & Christian, attack the children of his opponent, belittle coal miners, & small business owners, and insult the intelligence of every Kentuckian. The choice is clear Team Bevin or #TeamKentucky.
Itās also clear that when good people donāt stand up bad things happen. @AndyBeshearKY & @JColemanKY have stood up, but next year we need good people to stand up and run for House & Senate seats to give Beshear/Coleman & the rest of KY some backup.
Letās stop being afraid to step up. Matt Bevin has proven anybody can be elected. But heās also proven that when the wrong people have power, wrong rules over whatās right. We canāt afford that. We couldnāt four years ago & we canāt moving forward.
