Kentucky&#8217;s Attorney General Daniel Cameron agreed to release recordings, made during grand jury proceedings in the Breonna Taylor case after a former juror complained that “certain questions were left unanswered” and suggested that information presented to the grand jury was different from what Cameron presented to the public.
Attorneys for the anonymous juror who, on Monday, filed a motion to force Cameron to release the recordings, said that their client was left &#8220;aggrieved&#8221; by the grand jury process and believes that, in the interest of “accountability and a sense of public trust,&#8221; recordings should be made available to the general public.
The juror also filed a motion requesting to speak freely “without fear of prosecution, persecution, condemnation, torment, etc.” according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/louisville-breonna-taylor-juror-kentucky-ag-proceeding-recording">a Fox News report</a>.
My client is &#8216;aggrieved,&#8217; to use that term, that what was presented is not being publicly disclosed,&#8221; the attorney said in a conference Monday. “Our client felt compelled to take action, but before our client could discuss things freely, they needed to know what the rights and duties as deemed by the court. This is not a situation or a case where anyone should be acting without an abundance of caution and exploring all their options abundantly before they begin speaking freely with the press.”
“My client wants to make sure the truth gets out. My client wants to make sure anything that happened in there becomes something of public knowledge,” he continued.
Although the attorney did not say, specifically, what &#8220;aggrieved&#8221; the juror, additional reports seem to indicate that the juror believes they were not given the opportunity to fully consider charges against the other two officers in the case, one of whom fired the shot that ultimately killed Breonna Taylor. Those two officers, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and Detective Myles Cosgrove, were determined to have been &#8220;justified in their use of force,&#8221; according to the Attorney General&#8217;s office, so the office did not present jurors with possible charges.
A Louisville, Kentucky, judge agreed and pressed the Attorney General to make the recordings public no later than Wednesday, the <a href="https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/breonna-taylor/2020/09/29/breonna-taylor-case-grand-jurors-attorney-speaks-out-transcript-release/3571228001/">Louisville Courier-Journal adds</a>.
Cameron was the most reticent, noting in a court filing that releasing the grand jury recordings  “could compromise the ongoing federal investigation and could have unintended consequences such as poisoning the jury pool,&#8221; in the event the federal government decides to pursue a case against the three involved officers or the Louisville Police Department.
“We have no concerns with grand jurors sharing their thoughts on our presentation because we are confident in the case we presented. Once the public listens to the recording, they will see that over the course of two-and-a-half days, our team presented a thorough and complete case to the grand jury,” the attorney general said in a statement to media.
“Our prosecutors presented all of the evidence, even though the evidence supported that Sgt. Mattingly and Detective Cosgrove were justified in their use of force after having been fired upon by Kenneth Walker. For that reason, the only charge recommended was wanton endangerment,&#8221; Cameron added.

Actor George Clooney issued a statement following Republican Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron&#8217;s press conference Wednesday announcing the news that no officers will be indicted for murder in the Breonna Taylor case. During the presser, Cameron pointedly criticized outside celebrities for pushing apparent falsehoods in the Taylor case &#8212; a comment Clooney clearly took issue with.
&#8220;The justice system I was raised to believe in holds people responsible for their actions,&#8221; Clooney said, <a href="https://deadline.com/2020/09/kentucky-native-george-clooney-comments-breonna-taylor-decision-i-was-raised-to-believe-in-holds-people-responsible-for-their-actions-1234583107/">according</a> to Deadline. &#8220;Her name was Breonna Taylor and she was shot to death in her bed by 3 white police officers, who will not be charged with any crime for her death. I know the community. I know the commonwealth. And I was taught in the schools and churches of Kentucky what is right and what is wrong.&#8221;
&#8220;I’m ashamed of this decision,&#8221; the 59-year-old added.
Clooney reportedly owns property in Los Angeles, New York City, England, and Italy.
Cameron emphasized to the people of Kentucky that they must seek truth, blasting outside celebrities advancing apparent falsehoods.
“Our reaction to the truth is the society we want to be,” the AG said at the presser. “Do we really want the truth? Or do we want a truth that fits our narrative? Do we want the facts? Are we content to blindly accept our own version of events? We, as a community, must make this decision.”
“There will be celebrities, influencers, and activists who having never lived in Kentucky, will try to tell us how to feel, suggesting they understood the facts of this case and that they know our community and the commonwealth better than we do,” he added. “They don’t.”
As outlined by  <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kentucky-ag-breonna-taylor-warrant-was-not-no-knock-officers-justified-in-use-of-force">The Daily Wire</a>, the Republican AG  said Wednesday that “witness testimony indicated officers appeared to correctly execute a search warrant on Taylor’s apartment in connection with a drug case and that the two other officers involved in an ensuing shootout with Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, were justified in their use of force because Walker fired first.”
Two officers in the case were cleared, and another was charged with wanton endangerment in the first degree — which comes with a maximum sentence of five years — for shooting into a neighboring apartment while returning gunfire sparked by Taylor’s boyfriend.
Taylor was fatally shot by plainclothes officers who raided the 26-year-old’s Louisville, Kentucky, home in March.
Though the mainstream narrative surrounding Taylor’s death promoted the idea that she was killed when officers raided her home without knocking, media reports, testimony, and statement from Cameron indicate that officers involved did knock before the raid.
“Our intent was to give her give plenty of time to come to the door because they said she was probably there alone,” <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSThisMorning/status/1281585327682064386">said</a> Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, one of the three officers who discharged their weapons inside Taylor’s home, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/myths-misconceptions-about-the-breonna-taylor-case">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
CNN similarly <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/23/us/breonna-taylor-police-shooting-invs/index.html">reported</a>: “Taylor’s apartment, according to police, was considered a less volatile, ‘soft target.’ As such, police commanders decided in advance to have officers knock and announce their presence before entry. That decision was communicated in a pre-operational briefing, according to a source familiar with the details of the operation who requested anonymity due to the ongoing investigation…”
“When there was no answer after repeated knocks, Mattingly said, he announced he was a police officer there to serve a search warrant,” the report added.

Multiple police officers were reportedly shot in Louisville, Kentucky, on Wednesday night as leftist anti-police riots broke out following a grand jury&#8217;s decision earlier in the day to not charge any of the police officers with the killing of Breonna Taylor, who died when she was shot during a police raid earlier this year.
&#8220;One officer was shot in the abdomen below their bulletproof vest and is in surgery, and a second was shot in the thigh, according to the source,&#8221; The Courier-Journal <a href="https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/breonna-taylor/2020/09/23/breonna-taylor-protests-louisville-police-officer-shot-downtown/3512127001/">reported</a>. &#8220;MetroSafe said it received reports the shooting occurred at South Brook Street and Broadway Avenue.&#8221;
Multiple journalists identified the rioters as being Black Lives Matter activists, which is far-left.

Interim Louisville Police Chief Robert Schroeder &#8220;says the officers were shot after investigating reports of gunfire at an intersection where there was a large crowd,&#8221; The Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/28a283922de8784f6fca5c42fe8e5bca?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&amp;utm_medium=AP&amp;utm_source=Twitter">reported</a>. &#8220;Several shots rang out as protesters in downtown Louisville tried to avoid police blockades, moving down an alleyway as officers lobbed pepper balls, according to an Associated Press journalist. People covered their ears, ran away and frantically looked for places to hide.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Kentucky Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron held a press conference earlier in the day where he <a href="https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/ag-daniel-cameron-press-conference-transcript-september-23-breonna-taylor-decision">discussed</a> the grand jury&#8217;s decision.
&#8220;What I can provide today are the facts, which my office has worked long and hard to uncover, analyze, and scrutinize since accepting this case in mid May,&#8221; Cameron said. &#8220;I urge everyone listening today to not lose sight of the fact that a life has been lost—a tragedy under any circumstances. The decision before my office as the special prosecutor in this case was not to decide if the loss of Ms. Taylor’s life was a tragedy. The answer to that question is unequivocally yes. There is no doubt that this is a gut-wrenching, emotional case, and the pain that many people are feeling is understandable. I deeply care about the value and sanctity of human life. It deserves protection. And in this case, a human life was lost. We cannot forget that.&#8221;
&#8220;My job as the special prosecutor in this case was to put emotions aside and investigate the facts to determine if criminal violations of state law resulted in the loss of Ms. Taylor’s life,&#8221; Cameron continued. &#8220;This included examining the actions of Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly, Detective Brett Hankison, and Detective Myles Cosgrove, the three officers who fired their weapons in the early morning hours of March 13th. In working with our federal partners on this case, it was determined that while we would share information to advance our respective investigations, we must also maintain some level of separation to ensure the integrity of each investigation. When examining issues regarding potential civil rights violations, we determined that any such violations are better addressed through a federal-led investigation, and issues involving potential criminal acts concerning the shooting are better addressed by a state-led investigation. With this in mind, our investigation focused on the events that took place in Ms. Taylor’s apartment on March 13th. In the months since taking this case, [our] dedicated team of prosecutors and investigators with more than 200 years of combined career experience conducted a thorough investigation to better understand the events that led to Ms. Taylor’s death. The team is here with me today. I want to personally and publicly thank them for their tireless work. These men and women are true public servants, who for months have shown up every day with a desire for one thing, and that is to seek the truth. We decided while we would examine materials gathered by LMPD’s public integrity unit, we would need to conduct our own independent investigation and start from scratch in the interest of thoroughness, fairness, and finding the truth.&#8221;
&#8220;There was no video or body camera footage of the officers’ attempted execution of a search warrant at Ms. Taylor’s residence,&#8221; Cameron continued. &#8220;Video footage begins at the point that area patrol officers arrive at the location. Therefore, the sequence of events from March 13th had to be pieced together through ballistics evidence, 911 calls, police radio traffic, and interviews. We utilized information from the Kentucky State Police, local medical examiners, as well as working with the FBI crime lab in Quantico to secure a trajectory analysis and ballistics report. Our team conducted interviews in this case and spent thousands of hours examining all of the available evidence. We concluded our last interview in this case this past Friday and began our grand jury presentation on Monday.&#8221;

Retired Los Angeles police sergeant Cheryl Dorsey, a black woman, seemed to suggest that Kentucky’s black attorney general is not truly black because of his handling of the Breonna Taylor case.
Dorsey appeared on MSNBC on Wednesday to react to grand jury charges announced against one former officer involved in the death of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old black woman who was killed by police in March. Earlier that day, former Louisville police officer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/louisville-police-officer-indicted-in-breonna-taylors-case">Brett Hankison</a> was indicted on three charges of first-degree wanton endangerment for allegedly “blindly” firing 10 rounds into Taylor’s apartment during a police raid the night of her death.
Kentucky Attorney General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-kentuckys-first-black-attorney-general-slams-backwards-joe-biden-i-am-not-in-chains">Daniel Cameron</a> led the investigation into Taylor’s death. He appeared at a <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1308835640554008579">press conference</a> on Wednesday to defend his office’s conduct and review of the case, and answer questions on the grand jury indictment.
“I certainly understand the pain that has been brought about by the tragic loss of Miss Taylor. I understand that as an attorney general,” Cameron said. “I understand that as a black man how painful this is, which is why it was so incredibly important to make sure we did everything we possibly could to uncover every fact.”
“There was not a day that the people in this office did not spend thinking about this case,” he continued. “Criminal law is not meant to respond to every sorrow and grief, and that is true here. But my heart breaks of the loss of Miss Taylor.”
Dorsey rejected Cameron’s remarks and appeared to suggest that the Republican attorney general should have pushed for tougher charges, possibly for murder, against the officers involved.
<blockquote>Well, listen. Not only is he being intellectually dishonest about that, you know, I find all of his remarks with regards to this whole entire press conference offensive. … Let me say this as a black woman. He does not speak for black folks. He’s skin-folk, but he is not kinfolk. And so just like he thinks they can’t speak for Kentucky, because he is up there with a black face, he does not speak for all of us. This was not a tragedy. This was a murder. He should be ashamed of himself.</blockquote>

“To ensure that we have the appropriate level of staffing to provide for public safety services and our policing functions, effective immediately the LMPD will operate under the emergency staffing and reporting guidelines as outlined in the Standard Operating Procedures, Emergency Response Plan, and collective bargaining agreements until further notice,” he said.

The state of emergency declaration means the &#8220;departments are operating on emergency staffing and reporting, which cancels off-days and previously unapproved vacation requests,&#8221; CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/louisville-breonna-taylor-police-declare-state-of-emergency-ahead-of-decision/">noted</a>. &#8220;The emergency announcement, which does not extend to the city itself, was created to ensure departments had the &#8216;appropriate level of staffing to provide for public safety services.'&#8221;
Taylor was fatally shot by plainclothes officers who raided the 26-year-old&#8217;s Louisville, Kentucky, home in March. One officer involved in the incident has been fired and two others remain on the force.
Though the narrative surrounding Taylor&#8217;s death promotes the idea that she was killed when officers raided her home without knocking, media reports and testimony indicate that officers involved did knock before the raid, though a &#8220;no-knock&#8221; warrant was obtained.

CNN similarly <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/23/us/breonna-taylor-police-shooting-invs/index.html">reported</a>: &#8220;Taylor’s apartment, according to police, was considered a less volatile, &#8216;soft target.&#8217; As such, police commanders decided in advance to have officers knock and announce their presence before entry.

&#8220;When there was no answer after repeated knocks, Mattingly said, he announced he was a police officer there to serve a search warrant,&#8221; the report added.
As noted by The Daily Wire, Taylor&#8217;s boyfriend Kenneth Walker &#8220;said the couple had awoken but did not know who was at the door. As they scrambled to get dressed, Walker grabbed his gun, which he was <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/08/13/902104185/breonna-taylors-mother-awaits-criminal-charges-every-day-is-still-march-the-13th">reportedly</a> licensed to carry.&#8221;
Following the incident, Walker was arrested and indicted by a grand jury six days later for the attempted murder of a police officer. However, The Daily Wire notes, the indictment was later dismissed.
“So I just let off one shot,” Walker admitted, according to CNN. “I still can’t see who it is or anything.”
“No evidence has been presented indicating that Mattingly was shot by anyone other than Walker, and attorneys for Walker and Taylor’s family haven’t disputed that it was Walker who shot Mattingly,&#8221; the Courier-Journal <a href="https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/crime/2020/06/16/breonna-taylor-fact-check-7-rumors-wrong/5326938002/">reported</a>.
The WNBA has dedicated its entire season to Taylor, and numerous celebrities and politicos have demanded &#8220;justice&#8221; for the young woman, including Beyonce and former first lady Michelle Obama.

The city of Louisville has agreed to pay the family of Breonna Taylor $12 million to settle a lawsuit over her death by police in March.
As part of the settlement, the city has also pledged to institute several police reforms, such as requiring a supervisor to sign off on search warrants and pairing a social worker with a police officer on some calls. Louisville&#8217;s Democrat Mayor Greg Fischer <a href="https://louisvilleky.gov/news/mayor-fischer-announces-settlement-civil-lawsuit-filed-breonna-taylor%E2%80%99s-estate">announced</a> the settlement Tuesday.
“In order for the community to heal and move forward, there needs to be legitimacy and trust between the community and the police force,” Fischer said, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/louisville-to-pay-millions-to-breonna-taylors-family-install-police-reforms-as-part-of-settlement-11600184888">The Wall Street Journal</a>. “We hope that these are steps that are going to begin that process.”
Some reacted in surprise to the settlement, given the early stage of the investigation into Taylor’s death.
“I’m a little shocked it’s so early in the process that the mayor’s office decided to settle it,” Louisville Metro Council President David James said. “There’s not even been any depositions given.”
The Louisville settlement is significantly larger than others paid out in recent years in cases such as the lawsuit over Walter Scott’s death in 2015 when North Charleston, South Carolina, paid his family $6.5 million. Baltimore paid the family of Freddie Gray $6.4 million that same year.
Taylor family attorney Ben Crump reacted to the news, saying in part, “Nothing will ever fill the bottomless void left by the death of Breonna Taylor. This settlement, with the significant reform, ensures that her death has meaning and long-term impact – hopefully preventing the deaths of other Black lives. In my representation of George Floyd, Jacob Blake, Jr., Pamela Turner, and other cases where I have represented individuals impacted by police brutality, there has not been the responsive systematic reform as what has occurred in Louisville, KY in the name of Breonna Taylor.”
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is leading an investigation into Taylor’s death. Charges have yet to be filed against any of the officers that raided Taylor’s apartment and shot her. One officer involved in the raid was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/louisville-police-chief-fires-officer-over-breonna-taylor-shooting">fired</a> for “wantonly and blindly” firing 10 shots apparently at random into Taylor’s apartment, according to Louisville Metro Police Chief Rob Schroeder.
Taylor, a 26-year-old black woman, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/myths-misconceptions-about-the-breonna-taylor-case">died on March 13</a> during a police raid on her apartment conducted as part of an investigation into an alleged drug dealer, Jamarcus Glover. Taylor was not a suspect in the investigation, though she had been in a previous relationship with Glover and police believed that he was using her apartment to send and receive packages.
Police obtained a no-knock warrant to raid Taylor’s apartment in search of evidence connected to their investigation into Glover. The officers arrived at Taylor’s apartment shortly after midnight on the morning of March 13. Taylor and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, were asleep in Taylor’s bed after watching a movie.
The police say that, though they had a no-knock warrant, they announced their presence before busting down the door to Taylor’s apartment. Walker says he heard no such announcement, and that, after hearing sounds at the door, Walker assumed Glover was outside. After police broke down the door, Walker fired at the officers, hitting one. The officers fired at Walker and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breonna-taylors-mother-calls-for-peace-after-7-shot-keep-saying-her-name-but-do-it-the-right-way">Taylor</a>, striking Walker in the leg and hitting Taylor multiple times and killing her.

Louisville Pays $12 Million To Breonna Taylor’s Family, Promises To Overhaul Police Operation

A Kentucky couple has been placed on house arrest and fitted with ankle monitors after the woman tested positive for coronavirus but would not sign documents pledging to self-quarantine and notify the health department whenever she went anywhere, according to reports.
Elizabeth Linscott of Hardin County got tested for COVID-19 last week because she was preparing to visit her parents in Michigan, <a href="https://www.wave3.com/2020/07/17/hardin-county-couple-house-arrest-after-not-signing-positive-covid-self-isolation-order/">WAVE-TV</a> reported.
“My grandparents wanted to see me, too,” Linscott said. “So, just to make sure if I tested negative, that they would be OK, that everything would be fine.”
Linscott said she tested positive, but she had no symptoms of the virus. A short time later, she said, the county health department contacted her and asked her to sign a document that she would not travel anywhere without first calling the health department. She said she decided not to sign the document, called a Self-isolation and Controlled Movement Agreed Order.
“My part was if I have to go to the ER, if I have to go to the hospital, I’m not going to wait to get the approval to go,” she said, adding that she &#8220;would take necessary precautions if she needed to go to the hospital, like letting workers know she has recently tested positive for COVID-19.&#8221;
Just days after refusing to sign the document, the Hardin County Sheriff’s Department arrived at her home.
“I open up the door, and there’s like eight different people, five different cars,” said her husband, Isaiah, who was home at the time. “I’m like, ‘What the heck’s going on?&#8217; This guy’s in a suit with a mask. It’s the health department guy, and he has three papers for us — for me, her and my daughter.”
The law enforcement officials ordered the couple to wear ankle monitors, which will notify the officials if either Elizabeth or Isaiah travel more than 200 feet.
“We didn’t rob a store. We didn’t steal something. We didn’t hit and run. We didn’t do anything wrong,” Elizabeth said.
She also said they never refused to self-quarantine. “That’s exactly what the director of the Public Health Department told the judge, that I was refusing to self-quarantine because of this, and that’s not the case at all,” she said. “I never said that.”
Some municipalities are getting extreme with penalties connected with COVID-19, like the wearing of masks. West Hollywood, for instance, is threatening massive fines.
“The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department West Hollywood Station said Wednesday it would start citing people for not wearing face coverings,” effective immediately, <a href="https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/07/01/west-hollywood-sheriffs-station-to-start-citing-people-not-wearing-face-coverings/">CBS-LA</a> reported. “The department said it took the step after receiving a number of complaints about people not wearing face coverings in West Hollywood.”
The fines start out low but soar for repeat offenders. For a first offense, there’s a $250 fine plus $50 processing fee, the sheriff’s department said in a statement. The second offense brings a $1,000 fine, the third a $2,000 fine — and for a fourth offense, a whopping $5,000 fine.

Carol Barr, the wife of six-term Congressman Andy Barr (R-KY), passed away suddenly on Tuesday at their family home in Lexington, Kentucky, according to the congressman’s office. She was 39. 
Mary Rosado, the congressman’s chief of staff, announced her death in a statement late Tuesday: “Congressman Andy Barr’s wife Carol passed away suddenly tonight at the family home in Lexington. During this tragic time, we respectfully ask for privacy for Congressman Barr and his family to grieve Mrs. Barr being called home to heaven.”
The couple married in 2008, and had two daughters. According to Rosado, “Congressman Barr may release a more detailed statement at a later date, but right now is solely focused on being a father to his two beautiful daughters.”
Politicians from across Kentucky have offered their condolences to Congressman Barr and his daughters. 
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said in a statement that he and his wife, Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, were “stunned and heartbroken at the news of Carol’s passing.”
“Her warmth filled whatever room she entered and her contributions made Kentucky a better place for all of us,” said McConnell, adding that to her two children, “Carol was a wonderful role model and source of constant love.”
“We send our sincere condolences to Andy, their family  and his staff at this terrible time,” said McConnell. 
In a statement, Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY) said that he and his wife were “heartbroken for U.S. Rep. Andy Barr and his family tonight at the sad news of the unexpected passing of the congressman&#8217;s wife, Carol. We are praying for the Barr family.&#8221;

The Kentucky State Police is investigating a man&#8217;s death after protesters exchanged gunfire with police and National Guard officers in Louisville.
Gov. Andy Beshear announced the investigation on Monday after the man was killed earlier that morning. Beshear did not name the victim, though local reports and social media posts identify the dead man David McAtee, the owner of a popular barbecue joint, according to the <a href="https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2020/06/01/beshear-authorizes-investigation-into-louisville-police-national-guard-shooting/5306733002/">Louisville Courier-Journal</a>.
“Last night at around 12 a.m., it is our understanding that the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) and the Kentucky National Guard were dispatched to 26th and Broadway. While working to disperse a crowd, LMPD and National Guard returned fire resulting in a death. Given the seriousness of the situation, I have authorized the Kentucky State Police to independently investigate the event,” Beshear said.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
LMPD Chief Steve Conrad said the incident took place just after midnight as officers began breaking up a crowd of people in a grocery store parking lot. Police have not yet identified the civilians who allegedly shot at law enforcement or know if McAtee was one of the shooters.
“Officers and soldiers began to clear the lot and at some point were shot at,” Conrad said on Monday. “Both LMPD and National Guard members returned fire.”
&#8220;We are collecting video from the incident and expect to release what we have some time today,&#8221; Conrad said.
Louisville is under a 9 p.m. curfew since the outbreak of violent riots over the death of Breonna Taylor. Taylor was a black emergency medical technician who was shot and killed in her home in March after police broke down her door while searching her home as part of a larger narcotics investigation.
David McAtee was not a protester, according to WLKY news anchor <a href="https://twitter.com/Stephon_Dingle">Stephon Dingle</a>. McAtee is the owner of a barbecue joint and was not part of any protest over Taylor’s death but was just hanging out in the parking lot. The lot has been a popular spot for locals to gather outside of the curfew, witnesses told Dingle.
Breshear met with McAtee’s family on Monday. It is unclear what was shared.

Protests over Taylor’s death coincided with the protests and riots in Minneapolis over the death of George Floyd. Taylor was shot eight times after police officers busted down the door to her home and exchanged gunfire with her boyfriend Kenneth Walker, who said that officers never announced themselves before breaking in. The police officers contest Walker’s claim and say they knocked several times and announced themselves before storming the house.
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and LMPD Training Division Commander Maj. Paul Humphrey denounced the wave of violence that has gripped the city and said Sunday that the protests over Taylor’s death have devolved into “riots.” The mayor has instituted a curfew and called in the National Guard to curb the violence.

Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY) has apologized to a Kentucky cook he falsely accused of applying for unemployment with a joke name. The governor made the original remarks in a segment of Monday&#8217;s coronavirus press conference, during which he mentioned that that the state was slow to process unemployment claims. 
“I owe somebody an apology tonight,” said the governor, according to a <a href="https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1255260587908612101?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1255260587908612101&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonexaminer.com%2Fnews%2Fkentucky-governor-apologizes-for-accusing-resident-named-tupac-shakur-of-unemployment-fraud">video segment</a> posted by Recount. “Last night I spent a little bit of time talking about fraudulent claims holding us up. I mentioned an individual that had filed in the name of Tupac Shakur.”
“I didn&#8217;t’ know — and it’s my fault — that we have a Kentuckian, who goes by Malik, whose name is Tupac Shakur,” said Beshear, who was unaware his constituent shared the name of the deceased 90’s rapper at the time he accused him of slowing everything down. “I talked to him on the phone today. I apologized. I told him how it happened, but I owned it. It’s my fault.”
“He was gracious, and I said I’m sorry if I embarrassed him and caused him any attention he didn’t want,” he said. “He was very kind. He ended the call ‘God Bless,’ and we’re going to make sure that we resolve his claim.”
During a coronavirus press conference on Monday, the governor used Tupac Shakur as an example of the “bad apples” making the unemployment review process slower, and as such, causing delays for the rest of the people waiting, according to remarks captured by <a href="https://www.kentucky.com/news/state/kentucky/article242342026.html">The Lexington Herald Leader</a>. 
“We had someone apply for unemployment for Tupac Shakur, here in Kentucky. And that person probably thought they were being funny. They probably did,” said the governor. “Except for the fact that because of them, we got to go through so many other claims.”
“One person, thinking that they were funny using someone else’s identity, is going to make tens of thousands, potentially, of other people wait,” he said. “We can’t be doing that, and we shouldn’t be doing that as we move forward.”
The Herald Leader <a href="https://www.kentucky.com/news/state/kentucky/article242331811.html">reported</a> on the governor’s mistake after the press conference, having tracked down Shakur and determining that he was actually a laid off cook, not a person applying for unemployment under a joke name. 
“I’ve been struggling for like the last month trying to figure out how to pay the bills,” said Shakur, who told the news agency he changed his last name in 1998 to mean “thankful to God” in Arabic. “I’m hurt, I’m really embarrassed and I’m shocked.”
The news agency also sent Shakur’s phone number to the governor’s office, which claimed it couldn’t find him, and reported that Shakur was grateful for the governor’s personal call and accepted his apology. 
“I understand, he’s dealing with a lot,” said Shakur. “Mistakes happen.”

After a liberal mayor in Kentucky cracked down on church services, including even drive-in services, a Protestant church sued the mayor and the city of Louisville, which resulted in a temporary restraining order for the parishioners to hold drive-in service on Easter Sunday.
The lawsuit, though, has proven even more effective. According to <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/04/21/kentucky-mayor-greg-fischer-religious-services-coronavirus-lockdown/">The Daily Caller</a>, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer has backed down on his initial policy, now allowing drive-in services even outside On Fire Christian Church&#8217;s time-limited restraining order.
&#8220;Drive-in services consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s social distancing requirements may be held, according to an agreement between the Kentucky mayor and On Fire Christian Church’s legal representation, the nonprofit public interest law firm First Liberty Institute announced in a <a href="https://firstliberty.org/media/breaking-church-louisville-ky-mayor-reach-agreement-in-dispute-over-drive-in-church-services/">Tuesday press release</a>,&#8221; the report outlined.
“We are grateful to Mayor Fischer and Louisville city officials who worked with us to ensure their policies are both consistent with the Constitution and the CDC’s guidelines,” said Roger Byron, Senior Counsel for First Liberty Institute, the <a href="https://firstliberty.org/media/breaking-church-louisville-ky-mayor-reach-agreement-in-dispute-over-drive-in-church-services/">press release</a> said.  “During this challenging time, we need to see more of this kind of cooperation between government officials and the religious community.”
“We are pleased that the mayor was willing to work together with our client to find a solution that protects religious liberty exercised in a responsible manner,” added Matthew Martens, partner at law firm WilmerHale. “Like everyone, On Fire Christian Church looks forward to the day when they can meet together in-person again without being restricted to their cars.”
As noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/liberal-mayor-youre-not-allowed-to-attend-drive-in-church-service-judge-nope-gives-mayor-tongue-lashing">The Daily Wire</a> last week, U.S. District Judge Justin Walker strongly rebuked Mayor Fischer in a temporary restraining order.
“On Holy Thursday, an American mayor criminalized the communal celebration of Easter,&#8221; Judge Walker wrote. Would-be church attendees “face an impossible choice,” he continued, “skip Easter Sunday service, in violation of their sincere religious beliefs, or risk arrest, mandatory quarantine, or some other enforcement action for practicing those sincere religious beliefs.”
“[I]f sitting in cars did pose a significant danger of spreading the virus, Louisville would close all drive-throughs and parking lots that are not related to maintaining public health, which they haven’t done,” Walker said, adding, “Nor is there any evidence that churches are less essential than every other business that is currently allowed to be open – liquor stores among them.”
Over the weekend, the church was allegedly targeted by vandals, who left nails at the entrance and exit areas of On Fire Christian Church. “The members of On Fire Christian Church are saddened by this crime,&#8221; Byron said. &#8220;We hope today’s agreement will end the violence against the church.”

This was the most historic Easter that any of us have ever lived through, but for all the wrong reasons. For the first time in our history, the majority of Americans were legally barred from worshipping. Governors across the country have discovered that the word &#8220;non-essential&#8221; is a magical elixir that grants them unlimited power. All they need to do is declare a thing &#8220;non-essential,&#8221; and they will have the authority to shut it down indefinitely, upon penalty of imprisonment. It&#8217;s as simple and easy as that, apparently.
One Mississippi cop was rather blunt about it as he broke up a drive-in Easter service in Greenville. To be clear, these were people who gathered in a parking lot, in their cars, with the windows up, to celebrate the holiday. There was no plausible chance of any contagion being spread. But the gathering was descended upon by law enforcement in any case because, as the cop <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/our-rights-dont-come-from-authority-pastor-slams-mississippi-mayor-after-police-break-up-drive-in-service">explained</a> to an understandably infuriated pastor, &#8220;your rights are suspended&#8221; by &#8220;order of the governor.&#8221; Who knew that &#8220;governor&#8221; was another word for &#8220;emperor&#8221;?
The Emperor of Kentucky took things a step further. He instructed his law enforcement agencies to record the license plate numbers of anyone who commits the crime of going to church. Their information will be logged and registered, and the entire house will be forced into a <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/04/12/kentucky-churches-hold-in-person-easter-services-despite-order/2980456001/">mandatory 14-day quarantine</a>. Anyone who fails to obey this command will be subject to &#8220;further penalties.&#8221;
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/juc9F9XFYkg" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
This brings me to a rather important point that many of us, myself included, have too often overlooked. The word &#8220;quarantine&#8221; does not mean what the media and certain governors want us to think it means. According to the department of Health and Human Services — and this definition is consistent with what you&#8217;ll find in any dictionary — a quarantine &#8220;separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick.&#8221; Isolation, on the other hand, &#8220;separates sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick.&#8221;
It is true that state governments have the authority to take these measures, as well they should. And I am fully in favor of COVID-19 quarantines and isolations. But that is precisely what most state governments are not doing. In the Kentucky example, those people who are caught going to church are being put under a punitive house arrest, not a quarantine. The government has no reason to think that any of them have been exposed to anything. It&#8217;s not as though someone with a confirmed case attended the service, or that Kentucky is a hotspot teeming with the virus. A quarantine is only a quarantine when people who have been exposed — or who have a high likelihood of having been exposed — are temporarily isolated. This is not that, and so we need a different term. House arrest seems closest to the mark, although, according to Encyclopedia Britannica, that term technically means &#8220;court ordered confinement to one&#8217;s own home.&#8221; What do we call it when the governor orders the confinement? Mass extra-judicial house arrest?
As of this morning, Kentucky had fewer than 2,000 confirmed cases of the virus and fewer than 100 deaths. Those numbers are not nearly high enough to assume that every person who attends a church service must have been exposed. Now, you might argue that there could be many more cases than testing has so far indicated. Perhaps so. But if that&#8217;s true, then the death rate is probably exponentially lower, which undermines the case for quarantines. So it seems that either way — if there are only a few cases or if there are a great many — the argument for calling these house arrests &#8220;quarantines&#8221; is, at best, extremely weak.
The same applies for most states across the country. We all talk about how we are in quarantine, but we use the term in a very colloquial way, often without knowing that we&#8217;re using it that way. In reality, because the vast majority of the people locked down are healthy and as far as we know haven&#8217;t been exposed to the virus, we cannot use the word to describe our situation. Arguably, we are all under a form of house arrest. The media sometimes prefers the phrase &#8220;shelter-in-place,&#8221; but the section about shelter-in-place orders on the <a href="https://emergency.cdc.gov/shelterinplace.asp">CDC&#8217;s</a> website clearly describes an imminent emergency, like a chemical weapons attack or something along those lines, and most of the states currently under lockdown are not in a situation coming anywhere close to that. Indeed, unless we live in New York, Louisiana, or a handful of other hotspots, we have been remanded to our homes not in response to an actual emergency, but to projections and models that warn of a theoretical emergency.
This raises a number of urgent questions, the most urgent of which is this: what is the limitation on the government&#8217;s newfound power to lock millions of healthy people in their homes, and drastically curtail their civil liberties — &#8220;suspending&#8221; them, to use the cop&#8217;s phrase — on the basis of predictions? Even if you do not think that our current situation represents an abuse of that power, you must admit that the potential for abuse is immense. And perhaps that&#8217;s reason enough to oppose it altogether.

At a Kentucky church that defied Gov. Andy Beshear&#8217;s order against mass gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic and held an Easter service Sunday morning, someone spread nails at the church entrances to the parking lot.

As <a href="https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2020/04/12/kentucky-churches-hold-in-person-easter-services-despite-order/5127260002/">The Courier-Journal</a> reported, roughly 50 worshipers attended the service at Maryville Baptist Church in Louisville; a notice was left on their windshields informing them that they should quarantined themselves for 14 days or face &#8220;further enforcement measures.&#8221; Beshear stated that recipients of the notices will receive a letter &#8220;asking them to self-quarantine,” adding, “No one is being charged with anything.”
Beshear stated, &#8220;Those that want to have mass gatherings send out a signal all around the country to those that don&#8217;t think this virus is serious, that don&#8217;t follow the rules and then want to come to a place to make their point.” He was echoed by Kentucky Health Commissioner Steven Stack, who asserted, &#8220;At what point do our rights to gather entitle us to have other people die as a result?&#8221; On Saturday, Beshear stated, &#8220;To our knowledge, 99.89% of all churches and all synagogues and all mosques in Kentucky have chosen to do the right thing. I&#8217;m just doing my best to save lives. And there aren&#8217;t easy answers.&#8221;
On April 4 Beshear <a href="https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2020/04/04/kentucky-gov-beshear-church-services-amid-covid-19-leads-deaths/2949210001/">issued a statement</a> partially directed at Maryville&#8217;s pastor, the Rev. Jack Roberts, saying, &#8220;If you&#8217;re still holding mass gatherings, church or otherwise, you are spreading the coronavirus. And you are likely causing the death of Kentuckians. It&#8217;s that clear.&#8221;
The Courier Journal <a href="https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2020/04/08/maryville-baptist-church-leader-defies-beshear-vows-meet-easter/2969069001/">reported on April 8</a> that Roberts informed them he had received the state order to stop holding services but added he had spoken a national Christian organization whose attorneys “are in the process shortly of filing a lawsuit&#8221; against the Beshear administration. He stated, &#8220;If you read the Constitution of the United States, if you read the constitution of the state of the Kentucky, they both say that (Beshear) is infringing on the church&#8217;s rights.”
On Easter Sunday, constituents who remained in their cars did not receive quarantine notices.
Harlan County Judge-Executive Dan Mosley said on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dan.mosley.14/posts/2863846827030918">Facebook </a>he knew of 10 churches in Harlan County that scheduled in-person Easter services. He cautioned, “Just know you are putting your members in harm’s way, unlike the hundreds of churches in our county that are doing it the right way and having virtual or drive-up services.&#8221;
Beshear has ordered police to record license plates of those attending in-person services; that drew a blast from Senator Rand Paul, who tweeted:

Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY) announced Tuesday afternoon that Kentucky now has 163 confirmed cases of coronavirus — 39 of which have been confirmed in the last day — and also revealed that one of the new cases has been linked with a “coronavirus party.”
In a press conference Tuesday, Beshear said he was &#8220;mad” that someone attended an event making light of the epidemic was among the batch of new cases, reports <a href="https://www.kentucky.com/news/coronavirus/article241471706.html">The Lexington Herald Leader</a>. 
“Anyone who goes to something like this may think they’re indestructible, but it’s someone else’s loved one that they are going to hurt,” said Beshear, reports the news agency. 
“We are battling for the health and the lives of our parents and our grandparents. Don’t be callous as to intentionally go to something and expose yourself to something that will hurt other people. We ought to be much better than that,” he said. 
According to <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/03/24/kentucky-coronavirus-party-attendee-tests-positive-for-covid-19/">The New York Post</a>, the coronavirus party was attended by young adults in their 20s. The governor declined to further elaborate on the event, or clarify the person is suspected to have contracted coronavirus at the party. 
The Trump administration has advised Americans to <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/03.16.20_coronavirus-guidance_8.5x11_315PM.pdf">avoid gatherings</a> of more than 10 people until March 31. 
However, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had to order the closure of most beaches in the state earlier this week after receiving reports that young people, particularly college students on spring break, were flaunting social-distancing orders despite the pandemic. 
“The message I think for spring breakers is that the party’s over in Florida, you’re not going to be able to congregate on any beach in the state,” DeSantis <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/ron-desantis-florida-spring-breakers-party-over">told Fox News</a>. “The bars are closed so you’re not going to have a place to congregate there, so we would just tell those folks maybe come back next year when things are better, but that is not what we’re looking for here in the state of Florida.”
Brady Sluder, one college student in particular, went viral after he told <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/spring-break-party-coronavirus-pandemic-miami-beaches/">CBS News</a> that he wasn’t going to coronavirus “stop me from partying.”
&#8220;If I get corona, I get corona. At the end of the day, I&#8217;m not gonna let it stop me from partying,&#8221; the student told the news agency. &#8220;We&#8217;re just out here having a good time. Whatever happens, happens.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/2020/03/24/spring-break-party-florida-apologizes-coronavirus-comments/2906379001/">USA Today</a> reports that Sluder has since apologized for the remarks, saying he “wasn’t aware of the severity of my actions and comments.”
“Like many others, I have elderly people who I adore more than anything in the world and other family members who are at risk, and I understand how concerning this disease is for all of us,” said Sluder. “Our generation may feel invincible, like I did when I commented, but we have a responsibility to listen and follow the recommendations in our communities.”
“I will continue to reflect and learn from this and continue to pray for our well-being. I deeply apologize from the bottom of my heart for my insensitivity and unawareness of my actions,” he said.

Deputies surrounded the house of a Kentucky man who refused to quarantine himself after he tested positive for COVID-19.
&#8220;A Kentucky novel coronavirus patient checked himself out of the hospital against medical advice. So to prevent him from spreading the virus, officials are surrounding his house to keep him there,&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/17/us/kentucky-refused-quarantine-coronavirus-trnd/index.html">reported CNN</a> on Tuesday.
In a press conference on Saturday, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (D) said he does not want to force people into isolation but will do so if they refuse to comply with public health guidelines.
“We have had the first instance of a person who has refused to self-isolate, we have taken steps to force an isolation that will be in their home. It&#8217;s a step I hoped that I&#8217;d never have to take,&#8221; Beshear <a href="https://youtu.be/_fDmPhIMMSo?t=2049" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">said</a>. &#8220;But I can&#8217;t allow one person who we know has this virus to refuse to protect their neighbors.&#8221;
“Be a good neighbor. Do the right thing. That’s all we’re asking of people,” he later added.
Speaking with the <a href="https://www.kystandard.com/content/person-nelson-county-tests-positive-covid-19" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kentucky Standard, </a>Nelson County Sheriff Ramon Pineiroa confirmed that deputies have been dispatched to the man&#8217;s house, though he did not give the residence&#8217;s location. The man was tested at a Louisville hospital and left the facility against medical advice on Friday. He has reportedly been cooperating with police since they were dispatched to his residence.
During his press conference on Tuesday, President Trump stated he was &#8220;not happy&#8221; with people who are refusing to practice social distancing.
&#8220;I’m not happy with those people. But those people are being shouted down by other people. It’s almost like self-policing,” <a href="https://www.mlive.com/coronavirus/2020/03/trump-on-people-gathering-in-crowds-im-not-happy-with-those-people.html">Trump said</a>. “People are not happy when they see other people doing things they’re not supposed to be doing.”
Regarding Americans planning to travel on vacation to countries with minor or no cases of COVID-19, the president advised people to stay home.1
“I would just say enjoy your home. We have to get this problem fixed and then we’ll get back into business really quick,” Trump said. “I would recommend that they enjoy their living room.”
On Monday, the Trump administration laid out <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/03.16.20_coronavirus-guidance_8.5x11_315PM.pdf">new guidelines</a> for Americans to follow over the next two weeks, which include regularly washing hands, covering your cough and sneeze, staying six feet away from people, and avoiding crowds of 10 or more people. People who are sick and exhibiting symptoms were also strongly advised to stay home along with the elderly and people with underlying health conditions.
Given that some residents in certain cities have failed to properly follow guidelines, the possibility of a national quarantine has been floated in some quarters of the internet, though the Trump administration dismissed those notions as rumors on Monday.
“There is an ongoing effort to spread disinformation and cause undue panic,” a senior official in the Trump administration <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-administration-warns-of-foreign-disinformation-campaign-amid-coronavirus-outbreak">told Fox News</a> on Monday. “There is no national quarantine for the United States. It’s important we remain vigilant in ensuring our information is coming from verified sources.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the Trump administration’s coronavirus task force, did say that he favors a national lockdown, strongly encouraging Americans to hunker down while they can.
“I think Americans should be prepared that they are going to have to hunker down significantly more than we as a country are doing,”<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fauci-favors-national-shutdown-you-dont-want-to-be-complacent"> said Fauci</a>.  “Everybody has got to get involved in distancing themselves socially … Everything is on the table. Right now, myself personally, I wouldn’t go to a restaurant. I just wouldn’t because I don’t want to be in a crowded place. I don’t want to be in a situation where I’m going to be all of a sudden self-isolating for 14 days.”

On Saturday, an off-duty newlywed couple who both work for the Elizabethtown, Kentucky police department were out on a “date night” when a man entered the restaurant wearing a mask, and according to police, pointed a gun at the cashier and demanded cash.
That was a mistake; although the husband told his wife to take his phone and call 911 while he acted, she demurred, instead joining him to draw their weapons and rushed at the suspect, forcing him to flee until they ultimately caught him.
As <a href="https://www.wdrb.com/news/video-married-off-duty-elizabethtown-police-officers-recognized-for-catching/article_0ab7ee8e-526e-11ea-a466-2b1e61fcc334.html">WRDB</a> reports, Elizabethtown Police Detective Chase McKeown and his wife, Officer Nicole McKeown, who have been married for six months, spoke at a news conference on Tuesday, where Chase McKeown noted that their “date night” was the result of some advice they had been given at church. He stated, &#8220;At our church, we&#8217;ve been focusing on marriage,&#8221; adding that his church encourages having a &#8220;date night&#8221; once a week.
Thus the couple went out to eat at Raising Cane&#8217;s restaurant in Louisville for a “date night,” revisiting it because it was the first place they had eaten out after their wedding. An arrest report stated that Justin Carter, 30, walked into the restaurant wearing a mask, pointed a gun at the cashier and demanded cash.
Nicole McKeown noted, &#8220;I think we kind of both saw him at the same time,&#8221; adding that she initially thought Carter was wearing the mask because it was flu season. But then she had second thoughts; she recalled, &#8220;I looked at him and said, &#8216;That&#8217;s kind of odd.'&#8221;
When her husband told her to take the phone and call 911, she said, she thought, &#8220;No — I&#8217;m gonna help my husband!&#8221;
After Carter fled, the couple chased after him, catching him a few blocks from the restaurant, where they held him until LMPD officers arrived.
Det. Dan Mason of the Louisville Metro Police Department&#8217;s Robbery Unit lauded the McKeowns for their actions, asserting they acted &#8220;honorably and heroically … We are police officers 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on or off duty.&#8221;
A representative of Raising Cane&#8217;s added, &#8220;We are extremely blessed that they chose to dine with us. It&#8217;s because of good people like Chase and Nicole who give us good hope for tomorrow…we&#8217;ll never be able to thank them enough.&#8221;
Chase McKeown concluded that the laudatory gestures toward him and his wife were unnecessary, stating, &#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s the term &#8216;hero.’ We don&#8217;t feel that way. We just feel like our training kicked in.&#8221; Nicole said they’ll be back at the restaurant again, laughing, &#8220;Oh absolutely. I love Raising Cane&#8217;s.&#8221;

The news media, which never tires of cake-related controversies, spent some time last week ginning up outrage towards a Christian school in Louisville, Kentucky. According to the headlines, the stodgy bigots over at Whitefield Academy expelled a 15-year-old student for the crime of eating a multi-colored birthday cake.
The headlines were breathless and unanimous:
<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=11&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiUrP3c8pLnAhVPSN8KHSYnDwAQFjAKegQIAhAB&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Freligion%2F2020%2F01%2F15%2Frainbowcakewhitefieldacademy%2F&amp;usg=AOvVaw16WHM_dWE0BANQg_rOvYae">Christian school expels teen after she posed with rainbow birthday cake, mother says.</a>

And so on.
Some of the headlines include the &#8220;mother says&#8221; qualifier, while others simply assert the family&#8217;s claims as objective fact. But in either case, the point is to paint the school as clear villains in the situation.
Here&#8217;s how the body of the CBS report, linked above, frames the story:
<blockquote>A teenager from Kentucky celebrated her 15th birthday last month by blowing out the candles on a rainbow cake while wearing a rainbow sweater. After her mother posted a photo from her birthday party on Facebook, the teen was expelled from her Christian high school.
<div class="ad-wrapper">
<div id="mpu-plus-top-right-rail" class="ad-mpu-plus-top-right-rail lazypreload lazyloaded" data-ad="mpu-plus-top-right-rail" data-ad-unit="&quot;mpu-plus-top-right-rail&quot;" data-google-query-id="CMmu34P0kucCFdIchwodfTsOaw">
<div id="google_ads_iframe_/8264/aw-cbsnews/us_4__container__">Kayla Kenney was a freshman at Whitefield Academy, a private Christian school in Louisville, until she was expelled last week. Her mother said the school called her daughter&#8217;s sweater and cake &#8220;lifestyle violations.&#8221;</div>
</div>
</div>
Kenney&#8217;s mom, Kimberly Alford, told the Louisville Courier-Journal that she received an email from Whitefield Academy&#8217;s head of school, Bruce Jacobson, expelling her daughter. He wrote that the picture she posted on Facebook &#8220;demonstrates a posture of morality and cultural acceptance contrary to that of Whitefield Academy&#8217;s beliefs.&#8221;
While the rainbow flag is a symbol of LGBTQ rights, Alford said when she ordered the cake, the design was described as having &#8220;assorted colors&#8221; and was not meant to have a deeper meaning.</blockquote>
Already, even without any more information than what the media has deigned to provide, a thoughtful person should be extremely skeptical. It is not a simple or easy process to expel a student. At a private school, the expulsion comes with a financial cost. You aren&#8217;t just kicking the student to the curb, but her tuition alongside her. Why would a school go through that trouble and absorb that cost over something as trivial as a cake? And if they do issue expulsions so easily, shouldn&#8217;t there be dozens of other stories of students getting tossed out for similarly arbitrary reasons? There are almost always two sides to a story like this. Could this be the exception where the first version of the story, as presented by a partisan for one side of the dispute, is entirely accurate and faithful to the facts? Maybe. But probably not.
<iframe title="Another Media Narrative Falls Apart | The Matt Walsh Show Ep. 408" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4u2ETYGS0Z8?start=359&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Social media is not a place for this sort of healthy skepticism, so thousands of people hopped on the outrage train and issued angry tweets about the stupidity and pettiness of this school, in particular, and Christian schools, in general, and Christians, in general. And then, after the reputation of Whitefield Academy had been sufficiently injured, the train moved on and the media lost interest. The outrage mob always descends like a tornado, rips everything to shreds, and dissipates as quickly as it formed. By the time the other side of the story is presented, nobody cares any longer.
Predictably, the other side of the story in this case, <a href="https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/the-rainbow-cake-girl-what-the-media-are-hiding/">as reported by Rod Dreher over the weekend</a>, paints a very different picture from the one offered by the family and the media. After looking at the student&#8217;s social media posts, talking to insiders at the school, and reading the school&#8217;s public statements, Dreher reports that the student was allegedly a perpetual troublemaker who had been given numerous warnings about her behavior. She also allegedly promoted the LGBT lifestyle both at school and in her social media posts. The rainbow cake and sweater were a part of this pattern — and by far not the most egregious example of it — and it is this pattern of flouting the rules and violating school policy that got her expelled. The apparently purposeful trolling she did with the cake may have been the last straw, but it is dishonest to report that it was the only straw.
School principal Dr. Bruce Jacobson, while limited in his ability to defend his actions due to confidentiality concerns, <a href="https://www.wave3.com/2020/01/15/whitefield-academy-defends-decision-expel-student-after-picture-rainbow-sweater-birthday-cake/">explained</a> in a letter to parents that the student had been specifically warned &#8220;that any further promotion, celebration, or any other actions and attitudes that are counter to Whitefield’s philosophy would not be tolerated.&#8221; I suppose you could choose to believe that the rainbow cake and sweater weren&#8217;t intended to promote or celebrate anything, and didn&#8217;t have any &#8220;deeper meaning&#8221; at all, as the mother contends, but Dreher&#8217;s report makes that extremely hard to believe. From his piece:
<blockquote>When Alford says her daughter “is no angel,” and confirms that she has had “disciplinary issues,” she’s understating matters. My understanding is that Kayla Kenney had a long, specific list of repeated infractions — bullying, disrespecting teachers, vaping in school (as Alford acknowledges), and so forth. Part of what she has allegedly done is promoting LGBT consciousness in the school, including aggression on that front. I’m trying to be delicate here, but I can tell you that she has transgressed against other students on this front, to promote bisexuality. For example, she allegedly drew rainbows and wrote slogans like “bi pride” on other kids’ papers, and gave at least two different girls the impression that she was sexually harassing them. Kayla has been presenting herself as gay on her Instagram account.</blockquote>
Granted, many people will feel that expelling a student for promoting the LGBT lifestyle isn&#8217;t any better than expelling her for eating a cake. But one&#8217;s personal feelings about Christian teaching on homosexuality are irrelevant. This is a private Christian school. In that role, it understandably seeks to advance Christian teaching on all matters, including sexuality. If you do not agree with those teachings, if you think those teachings are barbaric and bigoted and so on, you are quite free to attend any other school. Nobody forced this student&#8217;s parents to enroll her in this particular academic institution. Louisville is not some outpost in the wilderness with no other schools around for hundreds of miles. This family must have had many options. They chose the one place where waving a gay flag will get you into trouble. They gave this place their money. They signed an agreement swearing to follow its rules. And then, apparently, they decided they didn&#8217;t like the rules anymore. Whose fault is that? Not the school&#8217;s, as far as I can tell.

A Kentucky state representative legislator has revived a bill that would ensure restrooms, locker rooms, and shower rooms in the state’s public schools would be designated for either males or females, thus preventing members of the opposite biological sex from sharing the facilities. The bill would also permit students to sue if school personnel gave a transgender student access to share those facilities with the opposite biological sex.
The bill, titled the Kentucky Student Privacy Act, or <a href="https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/record/20rs/prefiled/BR1020.html">Bill Request 1020</a>, was revived by state Rep. David Hale, and <a href="https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/recorddocuments/bill/20RS/BR1020/orig_bill.pdf">states</a>, “Allowing students to use restrooms, locker rooms, or showers that are reserved for students of a different biological sex: (a) Will create a significant potential for disruption of school activities and unsafe conditions; and (b) Will create potential embarrassment, shame, and psychological injury to students.”
The bill adds, “Parents have a reasonable expectation that schools will not allow minor children to be viewed in various states of undress by members of the opposite biological sex, nor allow minor children to view members of the opposite sex in various states of undress; and schools have a duty to respect and protect the privacy rights of students, including the right not to be compelled to undress or be unclothed in the presence of members of the opposite biological sex.”
The bill would require school personnel to provide separate, private areas designated for use by students based on their biological sex in any situation requiring the students to be undressed. It makes allowances for transgender students by offering the “best available accommodation,” as long as it was not “designated for use by students of the opposite biological sex while students of the opposite biological sex are present or could be present.”
The bill permits a student “a private cause of action against the school if school personnel: Gave the person encountered permission to use facilities of the opposite biological sex; or failed to take reasonable steps to prohibit the person encountered from using facilities designated for use by the opposite biological sex.”
Chris Harman, the director of the Fairness Campaign, complained to the <a href="https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2019/12/09/kentucky-legislation-would-set-bathroom-rules-transgender-kids/2632897001/">Courier-Journal</a> that the bill was “political pandering” to “an ultra-conservative minority,” adding, “It’s gross, it’s disgusting, it’s dangerous and it’s deadly … I wish legislators would mind their own business in the bathroom.” He continued, “At the end of the day, what that says is that ‘You are so different that the only accommodation we are willing to make is to make you use a special restroom, a different restroom,’ which once more isolates the transgender youth and makes them additionally vulnerable targets. So if I am the only trans kid in school and I can only use the single stall locking bathroom on the third floor, everybody knows that that’s where I’m gonna go to go to the restroom. And, again, it’s easy to target someone if that’s what you’re looking for.&#8221;
Harman told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/kentucky-bill-would-let-students-sue-over-transgender-bathroom-use-n1101651">NBC News</a>, “It’s an election year, so this bill has Hale pandering to the lowest of his base. This bill should in no way be a priority for the Kentucky Legislature &#8230; the Kentucky Student Privacy Act paints a target on trans kids’ back and sends all the wrong messages.”
The Kentucky legislature is slated to return on January 7.

&#8220;Kentucky argued the law is &#8216;simple and straightforward,&#8217; calling it part of an &#8216;informed-consent process.&#8217; The law, Kentucky said, &#8216;does nothing more than require that women who are considering an abortion be provided with information that is truthful, non-misleading and relevant to their decision of whether to have an abortion,'&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/09/politics/abortion-supreme-court-kentucky-ultrasound/index.html">CNN</a> reported.
CNN noted that the court &#8220;rejected the case without comment or noted dissent by any of the justices.&#8221;
Pro-life advocates praised the Supreme Court for their decision to uphold the Kentucky law.
“March for Life applauds the U.S. Supreme Court decision today upholding a Kentucky ultrasound law,&#8221; March for Life President Jeanne Mancini said in a statement sent to The Daily Wire. &#8220;Women facing an unexpected pregnancy deserve to have as much medically and technically accurate information as possible when they are making what could be the most important decision of their life.”
President and CEO of American United for Life (AUL) Catherine Glenn Foster said the decision &#8220;confirms that women deserve the truth.&#8221;
“Americans United for Life hails the final legal victory today of Kentucky’s common-sense informed consent provision simply ensuring that abortion facilities offer women who are thinking about abortion visual, ultrasound confirmation of the humanity of the life in their womb,&#8221; Glenn Foster said in a statement sent to The Daily Wire. 
&#8220;Consistent with the Supreme Court’s direction that mothers considering abortion may be given accurate, nonmisleading information about abortion and the nature of human life, today’s decision confirms that women deserve the truth, and cannot give real informed consent to an abortion unless facilities are transparent and honest about what abortion really is,&#8221; the AUL president added. &#8220;That’s a right that was denied to me when I was 19 years old and making a difficult, life-changing decision, and I am so relieved that going forward, the women of Kentucky will have the opportunity I never did.”
&#8220;The fact that there were no recorded dissents from any of the justices is notable,&#8221; added Daily Wire Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer, a former federal law clerk on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. &#8220;That ought to help demonstrate the common-sense, straightforward nature of Kentucky&#8217;s law.&#8221;
Pro-abortion advocates had claimed Kentucky&#8217;s pro-life law violates the First Amendment by mandating abortion-seeking women see their child and hear their heartbeat before going through with the life-ending procedure.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that this was nonsense.
&#8220;As a First Amendment matter, there is nothing suspect with a State&#8217;s requiring a doctor, before performing an abortion, to make truthful, non-misleading factual disclosures, relevant to informed consent, even if those disclosures relate to unborn life and have the effect of persuading the patient not to have an abortion,&#8221; the three-judge Sixth Circuit panel said in its ruling, CNN noted.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) broke down the recent election results in Kentucky during an interview on Sunday, explaining why he believes, contrary to the narrative in the media, there was actually a &#8220;red-wave&#8221; in the state. Also during the interview, Paul highlighted how existing U.S. law could actually protect President Donald Trump in the Democrats&#8217; impeachment inquiry into his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
&#8220;Let me start with the Kentucky results first, before we get into the events of later this week, just your initial reactions,&#8221; NBC &#8220;Meet The Press&#8221; host Chuck Todd said. &#8220;Matt Bevin, do you see his loss as something bigger than Matt Bevin, about the Republican Party as a whole?&#8221;
&#8220;Well, when you look at all the races, there were six statewide races, we won five out of six. Republicans won five out of six,&#8221; Paul responded. &#8220;We did lose the governor&#8217;s race. We were disappointed in it. But the interesting thing is we beat a lot of other candidates that no one expected us to. So actually, in many ways, there was sort of a red wave in Kentucky.&#8221;
&#8220;I think it was mostly particularly about one race. And I think the teachers were very unhappy. He tried to fix the pension but got crossways with the teachers,&#8221; Paul continued. &#8220;And I think the teachers&#8217; anger came out. But I think he was trying to do the right thing, which is save the pension for the teachers. But it&#8217;s tough. When you ask people to pay more to keep their pension in place, people get unhappy.&#8221;
Paul also highlighted that in some of the counties where Bevin lost, other Republicans who won in the election won in those counties by over 60%.
On the issue of impeachment, Paul noted that Americans want fairness and that they are not &#8220;going to judge fairness, when they&#8217;re accusing President Trump of the same thing Joe Biden did, threatening the aid, if some kind of corruption&#8217;s not investigated.&#8221;
&#8220;But if it were me, I wouldn&#8217;t give them the aid, because we don&#8217;t have the money,&#8221; Paul added. &#8220;We have to actually borrow the money from China to send it to Ukraine. So I&#8217;m against the aid. And I think it&#8217;s a mistake to do the aid.&#8221;
Paul then highlighted a defense of Trump&#8217;s actions that is likely to pick up steam in upcoming weeks, saying that current U.S. law prevents the U.S. from providing aid to corrupt countries, and so Trump would have to ask for an investigation into the Bidens, who Trump believes is corrupt, in order to be able to provide the aid.
&#8220;Foreign aid, by law, can only go out to countries that are not corrupt,&#8221; Paul said. &#8220;So, if you think that a country is acting in a corrupt way, a president can always withhold aid until the corruption is fixed. So, you&#8217;re going to have to get into the mind of Trump and his advisers and say, &#8216;Well, he didn&#8217;t really believe that the Bidens were corrupt.’ I think he absolutely does. I think you could give him a lie detector test and say, &#8216;Do you think the Bidens were corrupt? And do you think you were investigating corruption, and that corruption is in the law, that you can&#8217;t give aid to a country that has corruption?'&#8221;
&#8220;This ends up being a policy debate and a partisan debate,” Paul continued. &#8220;And it has nothing to do with legality or illegality or impeachment. It&#8217;s purely a partisan way of trying to overturn the election.&#8221;
