Ashley Judd not running

This is one of the best news republicans had received in while. Ashley Judd announces that she will not challenge Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell for his Kentucky Senate seat. This is one less seat the GOP has to defend. This also prevents OFA from expanding the electoral playing field on the back of star power.

Update: Ashley Judd has announced via Twitter that she will not run for Senate. “After serious and thorough contemplation, I realize that my responsibilities & energy at this time need to be focused on my family,” she wrote.

Actress Ashley Judd has decided not to pursue a bid for the Kentucky Senate race, according to two sources familiar with her decision.

A source close to Judd said that Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes’s interest in potential race made the decision not to run easier. “The timing just wasn’t right,” said the source.

This was really a close call. Too many on the Right dismissed Ashley Judd’s chances. But they underestimate OFA’s ability to use celebrity star power to turn out Low Information voters. Mitch McConnell and the Republican Party are breathing a sigh of relief. Now they can focus on holding or even picking up seats.

Obama’s bad primary night in Kentucky and Arkansas

Imagine if in 2004 Bush lost 40% of the Republican primary vote in several state to a convict, an unknown and uncommitted. The media would not stop talking about it. It would be proof that Bush was in trouble and was doomed in November. Well this has happened to Obama. last month in West Virginia , a convicted felon got 40% of the vote. Last night in Kentucky, uncommitted got 40% of the vote. Even more humiliating in Arkansas  an unknown lawyer named John Wolfe got 41% of the vote. Under normal circumstances this would be considered devastating politically. But since our media worships Obama as a divine Pharaoh, they are downplaying these results.

President Obama lost more than 40 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s Arkansas and Kentucky Democratic primaries, despite little-to-no opposition.

Obama lost 42 percent of the vote to the “uncommitted” option in Kentucky and more than 40 percent to little-known attorney John Wolfe in Arkansas — the latest example of the incumbent president failing to win significant shares of votes in uncompetitive contests.

But it’s not the first time the president has taken less than 60 percent of the vote in a primary this year.

He ceded 41 percent of the vote in West Virginia to an incarcerated man in Texas named Keith Judd, and in Oklahoma, Obama lost several counties and won just 57 percent of the vote.

There’s no spinning these results. They are bad news for the Pharaoh. The media will do all they can to prop up the tottering Pharaonic regime, but the people have had enough with the phony god-king.

Fun With Statistics

I’ve never seen a graphic representation of statistical analysis as brutally honest as this one. Too bad they didn’t include one that shows the percentage by county, or city. That would be telling, especially if it were presented as an overlay.

But the graphic lies. It is undated and not time-stamped, and assumes that Kentuckians don’t travel outside the borders. In reality, the statistic would likely change hourly or less, and the graphic would show a blur at Kentucky’s boundaries. (I know, I’m picking nits. Been hanging around the BRC too long.)

As an aside, Kentucky is not a State, and neither are Massachusetts, Pennsylvania or Virginia. There are only 46 States in the U.S. These four are commonwealths. There’s a bar bet for you.

Fun facts to know and tell on The Overnight Open Thread.

2 Iraqi Refugees charged with helping AL-Qaeda

2 Iraqi refugees have been arrested in Kentucky. They have been arrested and charged with helping AL-Qaeda. To make matters even worse, their fingerprints have been found on IEDs in Iraq. That’s right, in the name of tolerance, we allowed 2 Iraqi Muslims with AL-Qaeda ties into the US. Meanwhile, Chaldean and Assyrian Christians have been refused entry and not given refugee status.

Two Iraqi nationals who came to the US as refugees have been arrested in Kentucky on charges that they conspired to provide money, weapons, and other support to Al Qaeda in Iraq, federal officials announced on Tuesday.

Waad Ramadan Alwan and Muhamad Shareef Hammadi, both of Bowling Green, have entered not guilty pleas and are being held pending a pretrial detention hearing.

[….]

“Over the course of roughly eight years, Waad Ramadan Alwan allegedly supported efforts to kill US troops in Iraq, first by participating in the construction and placement of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Iraq, and, more recently, by attempting to ship money and weapons from the United States to insurgents in Iraq,” said Todd Hinnen, acting assistant attorney general for national security

We allow this filth into America, but refuse refugee status for Iraqi Christians. This is a national disgrace and shows the insanity of our Pro-Islamic immigration policies. Before people begin Obama bashing, It was Bush who gave Muslims priority in refugee status. Obama is just continuing his policies.

In today’s American Immigration and refugee policies, Christians need not apply!
