KENTON COUNTY LEADERS ANNOUNCE SUPPORT FOR WEBB-EDGINGTON
Several elected officials in Kenton County came out in support of GOP Congressional canddiate, State Rep. Alecia Webb-Edgington. From the release:
“While the most important endorsement is that of the voters, the broad coalition of support by these twenty leaders demonstrates that our message of fiscal responsibility, limited government and conservative values is gaining traction across the Fourth District. I am humbled to have the support of so many leaders, and I am grateful that they are willing to stand with me in this race.”More 4th District leaders offered their endorsements, too. See the full list with statements at the link.
Clyde Middleton, Former State Senator and Former Kenton County Judge/Executive: “I am so proud to support Alecia Webb-Edgington for Congress.

Dick Murgatroyd, Former State Representative and Former Kenton County Judge/Executive: “Alecia Webb-Edgington has distinguished herself as a leader in Frankfort by working to achieve positive results without concern for who gets the credit. We need more public servants and fewer career politicians. Alecia is that leader, and I have no doubt she will represent us well in Congress.”
Charles Korzenborn, Kenton County Sheriff: “We need members of Congress who will do more than pay lip service to defending the rights of law abiding citizens to carry firearms and to fighting the war on illegal immigration.

Gary Edmondson, Kenton County Attorney: “During the more than 19 years I have been honored to serve as County Attorney I have been an outspoken advocate for the lives of the unborn.

I am proud to support a proven pro-life advocate for Congress, Alecia Webb-Edgington.”

Kris Knochelmann, Kenton County Commissioner, District 3: “Kenton County has been fortunate to have a strong, determined leader representing us in Congress in Geoff Davis and an equally strong and determined leader fighting for us in the Kentucky General Assembly, Alecia Webb-Edgington. Alecia understands the issues at the federal level and is well prepared to serve us in Congress.”
Beth Sewell, Kenton County Commissioner, District 1: “As a wife, mother, and elected official I know full well the measure of commitment that it takes to run for and hold elective office. Alecia Webb-Edgington has been a leader for conservative women in politics, and I am proud to support her for Congress.”
John Middleton, Kenton County Circuit Court Clerk: “Alecia knows and understands the people of Northern Kentucky and the issues we care about. She is a leader with courage and determination who will represent us well in the halls of Congress.”

Callers calling the phone number listed on NSM's flyer will hear a one minute, 20 second recording of White America propaganda.

One giant Alamo? SMH.
“The Constitution affords the right to free speech and free assembly to all, and we will respect those rights, even for this Michigan-based, hate-filled group. This group should know that their ideology is reprehensible to Kentuckians, and that Kentucky is a tolerant, progressive, and welcoming state for all people.”|

RABBIT HASH AMONG 'FUNNIEST TOWN NAMES' BY TRAVEL MAGAZINE
From Smarter Traveler:
Countless origin theories abound, but this Ohio River town's name is said to have originated when the flood of 1847 swept away most everything but the general store and the prolific rabbit population. (Insert your multiplying-like-rabbits joke here.) Driven to higher ground, the cottontails ended up becoming a staple ingredient in hash. It must've been about as appetizing as it sounds: There aren't any restaurants in Rabbit Hash serving the dish.

CLINTON MEETS MEN WHO CREATED HILARIOUS "TEXTS FROM HILLARY"
The latest internet meme sensation Texts from Hillary, inspired by a sharp photo of the Secretary of State, finally came full circle when Hillary Clinton got in on the joke after a series of posts like this:
Clinton then submitted her own entry taking aim at the site's creators:
The men spoke with DC's Metro Weekly:
"It was sort of unbelievable. Her staff had emailed us yesterday, said that they liked the site and that the Secretary wanted to meet us. They asked if we could come over to the State Department, and we of course said, 'Sure, we'd love to!'"The guys decided today to end their short-lived website, but it's still online so go check it out and have a good laugh. Hillary did.
Lambe tells Metro Weekly, "Because the initial outreach came through email, I think both of us were in disbelief that it was even real. We Googled the name, asked if it was real. I was like, 'Is this a really bad version of Punk'd?'
"It was very surprising to get any kind of outreach from her office, let alone a submission -- which they definitely had to tell us a few times, 'Hey, that really is from her,'" he says.
