We Asked All Of The 2020 Presidential Candidates Their Thoughts On Vaccines.

Some interesting notes. Mostly standard stuff with the exception of Mayor Pete whose spokesman appears to have stepped in it and then pulled it back.

Senior Army NCO (who is also black and female) arrested after acting in self defense...

A Fort Knox sergeant is going on the offensive after being charged with a crime she says she didn’t commit.

Police charged Kai Waters, 33, with felony assault in connection to a road rage incident in Elizabethtown in February.

Waters says she now has proof that she was not the aggressor. She spoke with WAVE 3 News, claiming Elizabethtown police who arrived on scene assumed she was the attacker because of her age and race before looking at all the evidence.

....


Fort Knox LTC Alicia Masson sent WAVE 3 News the following statement on behalf of Waters:

“SFC Waters is a professional and was chosen from our entire field to come to Fort Knox and represent our Corps after an intense vetting process. She is a trusted leader and this turn of events is in total contradiction to her performance and character. I understand the police department has a job to do but now that the truth is seen by video that our Soldier was attacked, I hope there will be swift correction to this situation and her rights returned. I stand behind her and am anxious for justice.”

At least the Army is standing behind her. There is literal video of this NCO defending herself.

WTF is going on in Kentucky?
