Free, peaceful people are morally entitled to go about their business without being harassed by government agents.
It's not a crime to carry over $10K, we just want to know about it. CBP officers in Texas seized over $70K of unreported U.S. currency. A driver was referred for secondary inspection, during which officers and a K9 unit found the money concealed in the vehicle. Read more:

ICYMI: El Salvador's Nayib Bukele declared transportation to be free! (How nice) Problem is he mandated private companies to provide free services. When they didn't comply, he ordered the arrest of the owners. Typical socialist. El Salvador will stay backwards.

We want it back
It’s crazy that for the longest time we had to watch a pitcher lob four throws to the catcher for an intentional walk to be official.

Have I mentioned my repeated call for civic education
We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry.

"regulation should empower, not restrain, frontline providers. Rigid laws like [certificate of need] mandates share the common flaw of prioritizing bureaucracy over patient outcomes." @cobrown

We don't have to burden taxpayers to make room for the next generation of Kentuckians, but policymakers need to act now.

"Ronald Reagan loved tariffs. And they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial ... Crooked ad. They knew Ronald Reagan loved tariffs... That's dirty playing but I can play dirtier than they can" - Trump

We don’t blow up boats off Miami because 25% of the time suspicion is wrong. We shouldn’t do it off Venezuela either. These are small outboards with no fentanyl and no path to Florida. We can’t just kill indiscriminately because we are not at war. It’s summary execution!
