As was widely expected, Kentucky received approval Friday to require many Medicaid recipients in its state to work in order to receive coverage – making it the first state to try and restrict access to the popular social welfare program under the administration’s new policy, Fox News reports.
The Bluegrass State thus becomes the first state to act on the Trump administration’s unprecedented change that could affect millions of low-income people receiving benefits.
Where is Obama and Loretta Lynch with press conferences about this hate crime?
VERSAILLES, Ky. (Dec. 7, 2015) – Police in Kentucky arrested an Indianapolis man accused of stabbing a 6-year-old boy to death during a Monday morning home burglary.
Authorities in Versailles, Ky., were called to a home on Douglas Avenue around 4 a.m. A homeowner contacted 911 dispatchers to report an armed intruder inside the home.
According to court documents, the intruder, later identified as Ronald Exantus, 32, wandered around the home before walking up the stairs and stabbing a sleeping 6-year-old boy several times in the head “with a large kitchen knife that he obtained in the house.”
The boy was identified as Logan Tipton, a student at Simmons Elementary in Versailles.
Court documents show that Logan’s 11-year-old sister woke up, saw Exantus in the bedroom, and started screaming and trying to fight him.
Their father rushed to the bedroom and detained Exantus until police arrived.
The police report says Exantus confessed to stabbing the boy during an interview with detectives.
Exantus was taken to the Woodford County Detention Center on charges of murder and burglary.
Logan loved to play football with his friends, and he joined the Woodford Youth Football League this year. The league shared these photos of Logan with the caption, “Rest in Peace baby Logan, we will miss you. You were small but you were fierce.”
A friend of the Tipton family set up a Meal Train that provides an opportunity for volunteers to prepare meals for them. You can find more information on helping the Tipton family here.
If the government does not like the way that you are raising your kids, they will come in and grab them at any time without giving any warning whatsoever. Of course this is completely and totally unlawful, but it has been happening all over America. The most recent example of this that has made national headlines is particularly egregious. Joe and Nicole Naugler of Breckinridge County, Kentucky just had their 10 children brutally ripped away from them just because the government does not approve of how they are living their lives and how they are educating their young ones.
Let’s be very clear about this – Joe and Nicole had done nothing to violate the law whatsoever. All of their kids were happy, healthy and very intelligent. But because the control freaks running things in Kentucky got wind of their “off the grid lifestyle”, they have now had all of their children unlawfully abducted from them.
A lot of readers also lead “off the grid” lifestyles similar to what the Nauglers had been enjoying. The Nauglers own 26 acres in a remote area of Breckinridge County, and their family has been described as “extremely happy”. But despite never giving them a single warning or a single indication that anything was ever wrong, Kentucky police raided their home on May 6th. The following is how the raid was described on a website dedicated to this case…
On May 6th, 2015, Breckinridge Co. Sheriff’s officers came to their home, acting on an anonymous tip, and entered their property and home without a warrant and without probable cause. Nicole was at home with the two oldest children, while Joe was away with the others. When the officers left the home, they attempted to block the access road to the family property. Nicole and the two boys got in their car to leave the family property. The got only a short way down the road before the officers pulled Nicole over.
During this stop, sheriffs deputies took their two oldest boys from Nicole’s custody, providing her no justification or documentation to support their action. Nicole was able to contact Joe briefly by telephone, but only for a short period of time, because she needed to use her phone to record the events.
At that point, Nicole had been taken into custody for disorderly conduct (for not passively allowing the Sheriff to take her boys) and resisting arrest. Even though she is 5 months pregnant, she was slammed belly first into the cop car and bruised and scraped on both arms.
And people wonder why there is such an uproar about police brutality in this country…
Kentucky community outraged after 19-year-old woman shot by deputy outside field party
Samantha Ramsey, 19, was shot by a Boone County deputy Saturday as she tried to drive away from a field party in Hebron, Ky., at about 2 a.m. Police said she ignored the deputy’s order to stop her car and then rammed him, sending the officer sprawling onto the hood of her car.
Facebook Samantha Ramsey was shot to death by a Boone County, Ky., Sheriff’s deputy early Saturday.
A small town in northern Kentucky is grieving and demanding answers from authorities after a deputy fatally shot a 19-year-old woman during an encounter outside a party early Saturday.
Boone County authorities said Samantha Ramsey, 19, rammed Deputy Tyler Brockman with her car as she left a field party off River Rd. outside Hebron, south of Cincinnati, at around 2 a.m.
Ramsey, who had three people in the car, ignored his order to stop and instead sped up, slamming into the deputy and sending him sprawling onto the hood, Boone County Sheriff’s spokesman Tom Scheben told the newspaper.
Brockman then drew his gun and fired four rounds through the windshield.
Boone County, Ky., Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Brockman opened fire on Samantha Ramsey’s car after she allegedly rammed him with it, sending him sprawling onto the hood.
Ramsey was struck at least once. She was pronounced dead later at Saint Elizabeth Hospital in Florence.
No one else in the car was injured.
Brockman has been placed on administrative leave while the sheriff’s department investigates the incident.
Cops said the bloody encounter was filmed by his dashboard camera, and they were reviewing the footage before releasing it to the public, local WLWT-TV reported.
Friends and family, including Samantha Ramsey’s mother, Brandi Stewart, grieve Sunday at the shooting site in Hebron, Ky., located just south of Cincinnati.
Meanwhile, Ramsey’s family and friends were outraged.
Some accused Brockman of excessive force, saying he had no reason to open fire on the free-spirited young Covington native, whose friends called her Sam.
“Any other human would have been put in jail for that,” friend Gunnar Buemi said at an emotionally charged vigil at the shooting site Sunday.
“He needs to answer for what he did to that family,” he said.

Chelsey Pendleton, 20, was in the back seat of Ramsey’s car.
“The cop was in the wrong. I was there. I was in the back seat,” she said. “That was unnecessary force. He had no right to do that.”
Pendleton also said Brockman shot first, striking Ramsey and causing her to speed up.
WLWT Witnesses including Chelsey Pendleton, 20, disputed the police version of events, saying Deputy Tyler Brockman leapt onto Samantha Ramsey’s car before opening fire. Pendleton was in the back seat and unhurt.
“That was dead body weight on the gas pedal after she was shot,” Pendleton told the newspaper.
Brockman has served in the sheriff’s department since 2010.
He suffered a leg injury incident and was treated at a local hospital.
Sheriff’s officials didn’t comment on remarks made at Sunday’s vigil.
These slimy weasels are bought and sold like cheap whores. Sorry for the insult to all my cheap whore readers. Mitch McConnell is everything that is wrong with this country rolled into one disgusting package of shit. Kicking the can and bending over for Harry Reid and the Obamanistas are his specialty. When he was the Senate Leader the Republicans cut nothing. He added trillions to the national debt when he was in control. We are a deadbeat nation led by corrupt brain dead old men. This turtle faced douchebag needs to be crushed by a truck while crossing the road.
McConnell-Reid Deal Includes $3 Billion Earmark for Kentucky Project
A proposal to end the government shutdown and avoid default orchestrated by Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic Leader Harry Reid includes a nearly $3 billion earmark for a Kentucky project.
The dam is considered an important project for the state and region in regards to water traffic along the Ohio River.
AsThe Courier-Journal’s James Bruggers reported in 2011, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said they needed about $2.1 billion for the locks due to “stop and go funding.”
Asked about the additional funding in the proposal, McConnell spokesman Robert Steurer directed all questions to lawmakers who worked on the bill directly.
“Senators (Diane) Feinstein and (Lamar) Alexander, the chair and ranking member of the energy and water subcommittee, worked on the issue and can help you,” he says.
Since 2009, McConnell has been an outspoken supporter of the project, and has been working on getting its funding for some time.
A statement from Sen. Alexander’s office to BuzzFeed says the language was added to prevent funding from being canceled.
“According to the Army Corps of Engineers, 160 million taxpayer dollars will be wasted because of canceled contracts if this language is not included. Sen. [Diane] Feinstein and I, as chairman and ranking member of the Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee, requested this provision. It has already been approved this year by the House and Senate.”
Among those who voted against the bill were Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who derided the legislation for overlooking the nation’s debt.
“Tonight, a deal was struck to re-open the government and avoid the debt ceiling deadline. That is a good thing,” Paul said in a statement. “However, our country faces a problem bigger than any deadline: a $17 trillion debt. I am disappointed that Democrats would not compromise to avoid the looming debt debacle.”
Paul’s office has not responded to our request for commenting regarding the provision for the Olmsted project.
In a follow-up e-mail, McConnell’s office told the radio station the GOP leader did not request Alexander put wording to raise the authorization for funding in the bill despite McConnell’s support for earmark funding in the past.
