The world is awash in American whiskey

Bad news! For whom?

"The world is awash in bourbon. That’s a problem for Big Booze.

 

Consumption of American whiskey—including bourbon, Tennessee whiskey, rye and single malts—has slowed. Distillers who added capacity during the pandemic are suffering a hangover as more Americans pinch pennies and join the ranks of the sober-curious. Kentucky, the birthplace of bourbon, is sitting on enough of the stuff to last as long as 10 years, according to industry estimates."

KFC Ranks Last in fast food Restaurant Reviews

This company should never have changed their brand name from Kentucky Fried Chicken to KFC around 1991!

"KFC was named the worst-rated food chain in the country after an analysis of 7.3 million TripAdvisor reviews of 244 restaurant brands.

The Louisville-based fried chicken chain, with 4,095 locations in the U.S., had an average customer review score of 2.89 out of 5, landing it dead last in the pecking order. ..."

Kentucky nurses 'required' to complete 'implicit bias' class on 'history of racism in healthcare' or they may not be able to renew license

This is outrageous, if confirmed! Racialize everything! Very disturbing! 

As a nurse I sure would not participate if it is what I suspect it is: propaganda and demagoguery! Sounds almost like forced communist reeducation!

State Nullification Doctrine Revisited

Prologue

This is only a sketch as I did not yet have more time to research this subject in more depth.

A quote from Daniel Websters:

“... those other words of delusion and folly, "Liberty first and Union afterwards"; …  that other sentiment, dear to every true American heart,— Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable!”

Here are some sources:

Some Observations

1. Not lunatics, but Thomas Jefferson & James Madison have advocated state nullification
2. Daniel Webster was dead wrong to equate union and liberty. In the end union triumphed over liberty in the following years.
3. States who initially opposed the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions later resorted to state nullification when their interests were violated by federal laws.
