Tomorrow is Police Officers Memorial Day, Everybody!
The event is held each year in the United States on May 15 in honor of federal, state, and local officers killed or disabled in the line of duty. It is observed in conjunction with Police Week.
The idea of Peace Officers Memorial Day came into effect on October 1, 1961, when Congress asked the president to designate May 15 to honor law enforcement officers. President John F. Kennedy signed the bill into law on October 1, 1962. Each year, the president of the United States proclaims May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week of each year during which such May 15 occurs as Police Week.
According to the Legal Information Institute, the president is requested to issue a proclamation to: designate May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day; to direct government officials to display the United States flag at half staff on all government buildings; and to invite state and local governments and the people to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
Young Conservatives say anti-police sentiment is at an all time high thanks to Obama and his merry band of race-hustling bottom feeders. All of the rhetoric and violence against law enforcement is taking its toll on the men and women in uniform. Many officers around the country have actually taken a step back from engaging in proactive policing and have in general become extremely discouraged. Some cops in D.C. are so fed up with the president for helping spread this hostility toward police officers, they’re actually threatening to turn their backs on him at the annual National Peace Officers Memorial Service.
Obama’s Long Hot Summer Is Just Beginning to Ready, Set, Riot!
But there’s nothing to worry about hereabouts. Cincinnati’s Black City Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell (nicknamed “The Ghost” at CPD) appeared on CNN’s “Newsroom” program less than 24 hours after about all of 300 people gathered outside the Hamilton County Courthouse earlier his month for a recent media-orchestrated #BlackLivesDon’tMeanCrap protest in Downtown Cincinnati so The Fishwrap could call it a “REBELLION.”
Now we see Joe Webb’s fine TV 12 Report on Police Memorial Week: Toughest time in history for officers
SATURDAY IS THE HAMILTON COUNTY RINO PARTY’S BIG LINCOLN-REAGAN DAY DINNER: Two years ago, all those backstabbing TEA Party Patriots protested the RINOs’ choice of Ohio’s ObamaCare-Loving Governor Kasich Taylor as the featured speaker. This year, maybe opponents of Same-Sex Marriage could protest Senator Rob “Fighting for Fagellas” Portman as the “Special Guest.”
HURLEY THE HISTORIAN says 42 years ago this week the Senate Watergate hearings began exploring the nature of Richard Nixon’s administration. These days as the Obama administration is not really being investigated, people needed to be reminded that nobody died at Watergate. Hurley says also on this date in this 1937, Madeleine Half-bright, America’s lesbian-looking first female Secretary of State, was born, and most people today are amazed that she only had to donate $26,000 to Bill Clinton’s campaign in 1992 to buy her appointment.
IN ANDERSON, Ohio Second District Congressman “Bronze Star Brad” Wenstrup sent out an e-mail to say he’s one of the Republicans patting themselves on the back for all they’ve supposedly accomplished during the first 100 days of the new Republican-led Congress. They claim they’ve sent 12 bills to the President’s desk. Nine of those bills were even signed into law. Now they want you to give them some more money. And “Like” them on FaceBook. They’ll even let you take a bogus survey to make you think they care about what you think. Curiously, The Blower didn’t see any mention of how Boehner and McConnell failed to keep their promises from the 2014 Campaign, like repealing ObamaCare (just like they promised in 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010) and stopping Obama’s unconstitutional executive order granting amnesty to millions who entered the country illegally.
Also in Anderson, The Fishwrap reports Belterra Racino has stumbled out of the gate. It seems they’ve only raked in $55.2 million, the smallest slice of Ohio’s new $1.5 billion gambling market in spite of all that hype from our Three Trusty Anderson Township Trustees and Fiscal Officer, enjoying their VIP Parking Spaces at Belterra, even closer than the Handicapped Spaces. At least all those God-Fearing Citizens of Anderson haven’t yet lost the deeds to their houses, by finding a new way to piss away their children’s inheritances on those stupid video slot machines.
And wouldn’t it be funny if John Coyne and all the usual suspects were smoking outside the Landing in New Richmond on Friday night, when the lady with a wooden leg said her daughter (one of the original strippers at Deja Vu) never missed a Preakness and Clem from Clermont asked the daughter if that wasn’t a pretty long drive to Maryland. “Of course not,” the daughter said, “It’s only about eight miles to River Downs.”
Today’s Stupid Liberal Liar Award is Another Toss-Up
After the Demanded DemocRAT Senator Sherrod Brown “Find A Way to Apologize” to Obama for calling him Sexist over his attacks on Elizabeth Warren after Brown declined an opportunity to apologize. The Blowers wonders when Liberals ruining this country will ever cut out all their name-calling bullshit and run the country like they’re being paid to do. Probably not, at least until Inauguration Day 2017 in another 618 more days.
In Northern Kentucky
BLUEGRASS BUREAU CHIEF KEN CAMBOO says according to WKYT in Lexington, with only five more days a new Bluegrass Poll found no clear favorite in the battle for the Republican nomination to battle likely-Democratic nominee Jack Conway in the Kentucky governor’s race.
Louisville businessman Matt Bevin, Agriculture Commissioner James Comer and former Louisville councilman Hal Heiner are effectively even among likely-Republican voters, according to the poll conducted for WKYT-TV, the Lexington Herald-Leader, the Louisville Courier-Journal, and WHAS-TV.
Fireworks erupted last week and the race turned divisive after abuse allegations involving Comer surfaced and questions were raised about whether Heiner’s campaign was involved in them becoming public. The Bluegrass Poll was conducted as Comer went on the defense after his former college girlfriend went public with the allegations.
The Bluegrass Poll found Bevin backed by 27 percent of likely Republican primary voters compared to 26 percent for Comer and 25 percent for Heiner. Former Supreme Court Justice Will T. Scott trails with 8 percent, and the remaining 14 percent polled said they remain undecided. The men are considered in a deadlock because the slim margin separating Bevin, Comer, and Heiner falls within the poll’s margin of error.
FINALLY, AT YESTERDAY’S MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVE AGENDA, Sports Fans on both sides of the river were asking Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane if he planned to attend the Florence Freedom’s Peanut-Free Opening Game at Erpenbeck Stadium Thursday night. “You Bet!” Kane said. “Those guys really love the game. It’s not just the money.”
“Just think,” added Whistleblower Senior Spoiled Sports Editor Andy FurBall, “The Reds’ Joey Votto gets paid more to show up for one game than all those Freedom players together make during an entire season.”
Maybe that’s why our Quote for Today Committee chose what Babe Ruth said, when told that his offered salary was more than President Herbert Hoover’s: “I had a better year than he did.”
Remember: We never print all the bad stuff we know and certain people ought to be damn glad we don’t, especially Alecia Webb-Edgington is a Republican member of the Kentucky House of Representatives. She represents the 63rd District, which comprises part of Kenton County. Webb-Edgington was a candidate for the United States House of Representatives in the 2012 election. She sought to replace the retiring Geoff Davis in Kentucky’s 4th congressional district, but was defeated by Lewis County Judge-Executive Thomas Massie.
