Ken Ham's Kentucky Noah's Ark Project Construction Launches

With permits in place and other necessary elements in place, excavation on the long-promised Kentucky Noah's ark project is now under way. It is scheduled to be opened sometime in 2016. The location of the project is in Grant County in Northern Kentucky.

Ken Ham, most recently noted for his debate with Bill Nye the 'alleged' Science Guy, is heading up the project. Ham leads the ministry Answers in Genesis.

The ark itself will be built in exact proportion to the ark as it is described in the Bible. It will be 510 feet long, surrounded by a variety of other attractions of interest to families, including a petting zoo. Overall the project will entail about 200 acres.

Since the announcement the ark was going to be built in 2010, the project timeline fell behind donations, which resulted in delays.

Millions of feet of lumber will be needed to complete the overall project.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved of a stormwater permit in July, clearing the way for construction to begin.

Also part of the ministry is the Creation Museum that was built near to Cincinnati, and has attracted over 1 million visitors since opening in 2007.

Owensboro May Support Homosexual Attacks on Christians

While calling it a fairness ordinance in relationship to forcing the people of Owensboro, Kentucky to accept the anti-Biblical homosexual lifestyle, it is in fact an attack on the followers of Jesus Christ, which these types of ordinances are always adopted in order to use to legally attack them.

Knowing Jesus Christ rejects homosexuality, supporters of the aberrant lifestyle choice attempt to persuade city leaders that it's only a case of them wanting 'fairness,' rather than what it truly is: an attack on the beliefs of real Christians.

The fact that the Owensboro City Commission is even taking this into consideration points to it being infiltrated by homosexuals, or being pressured behind the scenes by them and their supporters.

With the ordinance being brought to the Commission by the Director of Owensboro’s Human Relations Commission, it means questions need to be asked as to the motives behind it. Is that person a homosexual? Does that person have a child that is homosexual, so is attempting to force the acceptance of that sinful lifestyle on the people of Owensboro?

Since there is not need for an ordinance put in place that forces Christians and others to go along with this lifestyle (they attempt to spin it as a ban on discrimination), there is no need to have the ordinance. After all, who knows if a person is a homosexual or not? How can you discriminate against a person who has no discernible means of identifying as gay, unless they're flaunting it?

This sinful Director of Human Relations Commission of Owensboro reveals the agenda behind the proposed ordinance: to make the city more culturally diverse, i.e., attract more homosexuals to the area. The result, according to this person, is it would attract more economic development.

In other words, the Director of Human Relations Commission of Owensboro is attempting to turn the city more gay, which of course would result in the gay evangelizing of youth, and an increase in unwanted same-sex sexual advances. The result will be more people turning against God and adopting the lifestyle choice from that added pressure.

I've seen other cities use economic development as an excuse to bring in more homosexuals, and the people I've talked to say they had to leave and work somewhere else because of the aggressive sexual advances from the homosexuals who wouldn't leave them alone. This included women approaching and harassing other women all the time.

We are starting to see what the gay movement is trying to do in Kentucky, which has been one of the stalwart states against this evil activity. They're targeting one city after another with these ordinances, which eventually will lead to an attempt to change state law concerning same-sex marriage, and other ungodly sexual sin.

Anyone that doesn't admit this is a subtle attempt at promoting homosexual behavior by force of law, doesn't follow the strategy of gay activist. Eventually there will be lawsuits and other actions directed towards those that reject homosexuality as a sin.

Worse, the city could become a cesspool of sin, as evidenced by cities embracing  homosexual activity and the accompanying agenda. Owensboro needs to soundly reject this, or replace the people on the Commission if they don't have the courage to stand up for what Jesus Christ stands for.

The Christians of Owensboro need to rise up strongly in rejection of this ordinance, telling the Commission there is no way they can support this direct attack on their faith in Jesus Christ.

Kentucky School District Rejects Government Food Police

Fort Thomas Independent Schools, located in the Campbell County district, has decided to opt out of the draconian federal school lunch program, as students reject the so-called healthy, bland food attempted to be forced upon them by big government.

More and more schools are making this decision for the obvious reason that it doesn't work.

Students have decided in many cases they would rather eat nothing at all, rather than be forced to eat what the government puts on the lunch menu. I've heard from a number of Larue County students that this is what's happening there as well.

Other things students do is go to a local restaurant or bring their own lunches.

Since how many students eat the government-designed menu are tied into funding, those schools where students reject the federal diet, lose money.

Across the country, about 47% of school meal programs had federal revenue associated with the program decline because of student choices to eat what they want.

This is the reason government needs to stay out or the business of its citizens. It has no authority to decide what children should eat, and then if they don't, punish the school for their choices.

In 2013, 146 of the schools surveyed had dropped the program.

Grimes: Obama's Rubber Stamp

Source: WFPL

A sign at a church picnic where Republican Mitch McConnell and Democratic opponent Alison Lundergan
Grimes were both in attendance, revealed the huge problem Grimes has going forward, as a growing number of people understand the hypocrisy between the official teachings of the Catholic Church, and the decision by Catholics who are Democrats, to ignore them.

One sign said this: "Alison's dilemma ... be a devout Democrat or a real Catholic."

Democrats who are Catholics have increasingly flaunted and ignored official Catholic teachings, while parading in front of voters as if they have some type of moral superiority.

Grimes is definitely one of these Catholics in name only, and rejects in many ways the core teachings of the Church; one of which is opposition to gay marriage, which Grimes has stated she totally supports.

It of course rejects all true Christians and Christian churches, which overwhelmingly oppose the sin of homosexuality and gay marriage.

The reality is Grimes is just another Obama robot ready to do her master's bidding, no matter what the people of Kentucky want.  

Grimes is a big government Democrat, as evidenced by her ridiculous accusation against McConnell for opposing a so-called fair wage bill for women, which was simply a bill introduced for the purpose of being used against Republicans during the next elections, because of the out-of-control Democrats and presidency, which operates as if it were a monarchy instead of being a representative government.

Her answer to everything is more government intrusion into our lives. Everything is about taking money from the productive and redistributing it to those that haven't earned it.

She is just another anti-Christian, big government liberal who believes government is God, and not Jesus Christ.

A vote for Grimes is a vote for Obama, no matter how it is spun. She's just an extension of who he is.

Grimes and Racist Democrat Attack on Mitch McConnell's Wife

Alison Lundergan Grimes has been conspicuously silent concerning the racist attack by Democratic operative
Kathy Groob, after Mitch McConnell proudly mentioned that his wife, Elaine Chao, is the only woman from Kentucky to have served in a president's cabinet. That was a reference to her being the U.S. Labor Secretary under George W. Bush.

Groob tweeted this: "Hey Mitch, nothing against your wife and spouses should be off limits; since you mentioned, She isn't from KY, she is Asian."

The idea that a woman isn't considered as being a person from Kentucky because of her ethnicity, is a continuation of the innate racist tendencies of the Democratic Party, which supported slavery for so long.

Grimes has yet to blast the statement made by Groob. The longer she waits to do so, if she ever does, the worst it will look for her; suggesting she wasn't opposed to the statement.

This is typical of the hypocrisy of Democratic leaders across the nation. The people of Kentucky can't send this type of person to Washington to represent them in the Senate.

Majority of Kentuckians Oppose Gay Marriage

A poll conducted on behalf of liberal, Democrat mouthpieces The Courier-Journal and The Lexington Herald-Leader, along with WHAS TV and WKYT TV, allegedly found that opposition to gay marriage in Kentucky is "eroding," according to the spin of the results from The Courier-Journal.

The poll queried 714 registered voters if they "favor or oppose allowing gays and lesbians to marry in Kentucky?" With a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percent, the supposed drop in opposition from a February poll, where 55% of voters opposed gay marriage in Kentucky, could easily be a statistical anomaly.

According to the most recent poll, 37% of registered voters in Kentucky favor allowing gays to marry, while 12% remain unsure.

It is a significant drop from the 72% of registered voters in Kentucky who opposed gay marriage in 2004 by voting to ban it in the state.

The corrupt Senior U.S. District Court Judge John G. Heyburn II struck down the will of the people by saying it "violates the constitutional guarantee of equal protection under the law and that it lacks 'any conceivable legitimate purpose.'"

Since Jesus Christ forbids the act of homosexuality itself, and by extension gay marriage, the idea this judge, who places himself above the will of God and the will of the people, had better restrain himself from making comments like there is not "any conceivable legitimate purpose" to ban gay marriage. The very will of God is reason enough.

No one is born gay, although we are all born in sin. So the idea that we're born sin translating into being born into a specific sin, is an evil lie. The worst lie is to self-identify with a sin forbidden by almighty God, and then attempt to say those opposing it engage in hate speech. If that's the case, they are accusing Jesus Christ as engaging in hate speech, when throughout the Holy Scriptures homosexuality is forbidden.

After all, do we say we are thieves if we steal, self-identifying with that sin and protesting against anyone that will deny we're born that way and can't change? You can pick out any behavior forbidden by God and do the same thing.

Homosexuals are the only group in the world that self-identify as a sin. That's their problem, not ours. Jesus Christ calls all of them to repent of their sinful lifestyle choice. Many have been delivered from this sinful behavior and choice, and so can they.

The people of Kentucky must continue to raise their voices against this sin, which God has judged the world and nations for in the past, and will do so in the future if it's not resisted by God's people and the people living in the state of Kentucky.

It's also why we must strongly oppose Jack Conway, the Attorney General of Kentucky, when he runs for governor, as he refused to exercise his legal duty in challenging the federal judge who overturned the will of God and the people of Kentucky. He has no right to decide what laws he wants to support. He's just another Obama picking and choosing what laws he wants to uphold and what he doesn't.

It's also why Alison Case Lundergan Grimes must be strongly rejected by the voters of Kentucky in her race for a Senate seat. Being part of the Democratic abortion party, as well as part of a party that doesn't mind taking the wealth from the productive and redistributing at will to others. Grimes has also come out as supporting gay marriage. Every bit of this in opposition to the will of God.

Jesus Christ commands all nations and people to submit unto Him. The people of Kentucky are called to oppose all those who reject that command and choose to oppose our creator and Savior.

As the Scriptures ask, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him." The people of Kentucky are required to answer that question.

Alison Lundergan Grimes: Obamacare's Lapdog

The extremely unpopular Obamacare law is under attack from senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell,
who is calling for a repeal of the costly health care law that the vast majority of Americans didn't want.

Only the outrageous attack and pressure of Obama on Democrats representing states and regions that didn't want the socialist law to be forced upon them brought the law into being.

Now that Mitch McConnell is calling for the repeal
of this disaster, Alison Lundergan Grimes has betrayed her real colors, as she uses the old idea that just because people in Kentucky are getting free health care, she opposes repealing the unworkable mandate.

Many people in Kentucky need to understand this is horrible for those that have to pay for their health care insurance, as costs will continue to rise because many young people refuse to sign up for it, which is the backbone of it being financially feasible in even a small way.

What Grimes and her socialist ilk don't tell you is the cost of health care for a majority of people is skyrocketing because they have to pay for others to get the care by having their premiums jump in price. This is also because Obamacare forces them to pay for health services they'll never use.

The first thing that must be done is to repeal Obamacare. That's the first and only step that needs to be considered. Everything else is speculation as to what happens next.

All this law is doing is causing hardships for working people.

McConnell has it right in saying once Obamacare is eradicated, at that time health insurance companies should be released to compete in all states without government interference. In that market atmosphere, prices would fall because of the intense competition for customers.

His opponent Grimes won't even say whether she would have voted for the unpopular law. She knows if she does, the people of Kentucky will quickly let her know at the ballot box.

The hardworking people of Kentucky need to closely watch how their lives are being affected by the higher cost of health care, and vote accordingly in the next election.

Grimes' unwillingness to tell the people of Kentucky how she would have voted, only underscores the fact she will do what her handlers from Obama tell her.

Wait until the time when your life or the life of your loved ones are on the life, and the death panels decide whether or not Obamacare will take care of you. Vote Grimes and the death party out of Kentucky.

Hodgenville Storm Damage

In the morning hours a hail storm with high winds hit Hodgenville, causing a lot of damage and fallen trees. Here are some photos of the damage in the area.

The tree below was lying on some power lines.

This is just a small sampling of the fallen trees within a few blocks of each other. All of this happened in Hodgenville in a very short period of time.

McConnell Continues to Hammer Obamacare Disaster

While some attempt to make the attempt of Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell to blast the disastrous Obamacare initiative as a no-win situation, in truth it's a dynamic issue that is on the hearts and minds of the people of Kentucky, who are going to suffer from the extraordinary rise in insurance costs accompanying the law.

One misguided writer said this:

But Obamacare may not turn out to be the campaign issue that Senator McConnell hopes it will be. True, Kentuckians – like most Americans – disapprove of the Affordable Care Act. But they also live in a state where implementation of the ACA has been held up as a national model for its smooth roll out and easy interface with users. More than 1 in 10 residents is now covered by "kynect," the state-run exchange under the ACA.

The problem isn't how smoothly the state exchange was implemented; it has nothing to do with the disaster that Obamacare is. The disaster is the socialist health care law itself, which is suffocating hard-working Americans, who are paying far more than the Democrats, who are responsible for the bill, said it would.

There is also the growing long waits to get basic care, and the death panels that decide whether you're going to get care at all for some procedures.

When the election comes about in Kentucky for the Senate, Democrats and the inexperienced Alison Lundergan Grimes will have to give answers as to why they accepted Obamacare as a whole, and why the people of Kentucky are suffering as a result.

The soaring costs of medical coverage, along with the accompanying government oversight which results in it deciding who gets what type of coverage in specific cases, makes it an extremely unpopular law for those who actually make a living.

McConnell and the Republicans need to continue to hammer at this issue. It's one that the majority of the people of Kentucky oppose, as well as the majority of Americans.

DeVore Takes Over as Mayor as Cruse Tossed Out

Mayor Kenny DeVore

Embattled Hodgenville Mayor Terry Cruse was removed from office by a 9-0 vote of the city council, after allegations he and City Clerk Madonna Hornback spent thousands of dollars for personal reasons.

The council voted in Kenny DeVore as interim mayor. He will serve until an election in November to determine who the new mayor will be. Anyone interested in running will have until August to declare their intentions.

When asked about the situation before the decision to oust Cruse was made, Hodgenville Police Chief Steven Johnson said he believed the council should have waited until after the criminal case was decided.

He does have a point there. What happens if Cruse is exonerated from wrong-doing, and was removed on the assumption he was guilty?

Cruse and Hornbach were indicted by a grand jury in December, with both being accused of using fuel credit cards issued by the city to make personal purchases. The total between the two that was alleged to have been spent comes to over $30,000.

Part of the hearing with the council were allegations of nepotism, relating to Cruse having his son hired for a job he wasn't qualified for, and that Hornbach's son was also hired by the city. The city of Hodgenville has a nepotism policy in place, which Council member Jim Phelps says was violated by Cruse and Hornbach.

According to Cruse, the hearing to remove him was a political one. He claims all the city council members have agendas.

Cruse is also running for LaRue County Sheriff. The primary election is scheduled to be held on Tuesday.

Whatever follows for Cruse and Hornbach, and whether or not politics eventually came into the picture, some of the decisions that were made were poor ones, and in that regard they have no one to blame but themselves for ending up in the position they are in.

 The pair will face criminal charges in June.

Beshear Tackles Gay Marriage while Jack Conway Hides

After the ungodly and corrupt U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II imposed his will on the citizens of Kentucky by striking down Kentucky's constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, where 1,222,125 voters overwhelmingly voted to pass the law, Governor Steve Beshear has had to hire an outside law firm because the immoral Attorney General Jack Conway refused to stand up for the people and law of Kentucky, basically saying it wasn't moral.

It's an odd thing for someone elected to represent the people of Kentucky, to refuse to do so. Now this elected official who refused to perform his duty, is running for governor. We know what we must do to send the message that we won't be stepped on by Conway.

Not only that, but the people of Kentucky will now have to pay out a lot of money for the law firm because of Conway's refusal to perform his sworn duty.

The strategy of Beshear's office, which is to argue against having to recognize gay marriages performed in other states, focuses on the inability for homosexuals to bear children, which is of course a major reason God instituted marriage in the first place, in order that people would fill the earth in accordance with His plan.

Of course Jesus Christ forbids people to be homosexuals in the first place, and  they aren't born that way, but choose it for a variety of reasons. The idea of gay marriage then is a mute one with God, as the practice of homosexuality is forbidden, so going from there to marriage makes no sense.

To me, this should have been the argument, as the people of Kentucky reject homosexuality and gay marriage of any kind. The issue is this corrupt judge is saying by his outrageous decision that the state of Kentucky doesn't operate as part of a democracy, as he, by exceeding his authority, stated that voters don't matter. This is activism and ideology trumping the law of Kentucky.

Essentially what this judge did is force the laws of a small number of state onto the people of Kentucky. He has no right to transfer law across state lines. He should be removed out of his office.

Just remember that Jack Conway refused to stand up for the people of Kentucky and Kentucky law when he runs for governor.

Liberal Jack Conway Announces He's Running for Governor

Liberal Democrat and Kentucky attorney general Jack Conway has officially announced that he will run for governor in 2015.

Conway got crushed by conservative Republican Rand Paul in the 2010 Senate race, and is unlikely to do well in the race for governor after he refused to fulfil his duty as Kentucky attorney general by not appealing a court ruling which would force Kentucky to recognize and uphold homosexual 'marriages' from out of state.

Conservatives across the state were outraged when Conway revealed he supported the judicial overreach when a federal judge corruptly intervened and bypassed Kentucky law.

Just like Ashley Judd, Conway is wrong for this state, and we need to send a clear message to politicians that they will represent us when we elect them or we'll boot them out of office. Conway must be booted out of office for his disrespect of the people of Kentucky based upon his liberal beliefs and agenda.

When liberals like Conway refuse to support the Kentucky Constitution, how much more mischief will he engage in like Obama has, who has also ignored the Constitution of the United State by calling it a living document; meaning he can make it mean whatever he personally wants it to. 

The reason Conway refused to defend the people of Kentucky against this federal intrusion? He said he did it on moral grounds. So where does Conway get his morality when the Holy Scriptures and Jesus Christ say marriage is between a man and a woman?

This liberal, Democratic morality is only sin under the guise of a tolerance. There is nothing more intolerant than the liberals who continue to attack and attempt to destroy Western civilization which is build on Biblical principles.

Fortunately Conway exposed his immoral beliefs, and we must send him back to the private sector to get a real job and repent for sinning against God and the people of Kentucky.
