Every day between 5pm and 7pm, two press conferences are televised in Kentucky. One of those press conferences is also televised nationwide and that is a damn shame! In Kentucky, at 5pm on every major television station in the state we see press conference by our Governor Andy Beshear. It usually lasts for about an hour and is a shining example of what a press conference by an elected official working in a crisis should be.
Governor Beshear is professional, strong, well informed, honest, accurate, compassionate, and everything a people in crisis should expect and receive from a leader at one of the worst times in the history of the state and nation. This press conference has been taking place on a daily basis for about two weeks since Kentucky developed its first cases of Corona Virus in Jefferson and Fayette counties, the two truly urban counties in the state. At the time these press conferences began, we had two cases in the state as I recall. Today, March 28, 2020, we have roughly 300 cases statewide in at least 45 of the 120 counties. The virus is spreading rapidly and randomly across the state just as it is across the nation. Citizens are hoarding food, avoiding social contact, living in irrational fear, and doing both many good things and an equal number of ignorant, misinformed, and irrational things. But Andy Beshear and his team of staff walk into the capitol press room each day cool, calm, collected, prepared with facts and information which is needed by every citizen of the state. He begins the conferences these days with an affirmation and actually asks the audience to repeat it with him: "We Will Get Through This! We Will Get Through This Together!" Andy Beshear is everything a leader should be. He has assembled the best team of the most talented people that the state can offer. They deliver facts in a calm, supportive, professional, ethical manner and every citizen of Kentucky is better because of it.

| Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky |
At about the time Andy Beshear's press conference is ending, the TRAITOR who illegally occupies the White House based on his TREASON with Russia also begins a daily press conference which is everything the press conferences of Governor Beshear's are not. This TRAITOR is ignorant, uninformed, divisive, abrasive, uneducated, unintelligent, dishonest, amoral, and without one iota of compassion as he has always been. He spits, sputters, foments greater fears among the populace because of his thousands of flaws, lies, and deceptions. He does anything he can to avoid taking the appropriate blame for having, on a daily basis, increased the danger to every citizen of this country. He blames others. He lies repeatedly. He attacks the press, the governors of many states, and at times even the victims of the Corona Virus. He is an idiot, a pathological liar, an international and a domestic terrorist, and the personification of evil in the world. He refuses to heed the advice of communicable disease, national security, health care, and government experts. He uses the one actual professional on his team, Dr. Anthony Fauci, as a shield and a scapegoat. He is a waste of time to every American who watches him and further endangers the lives of every resident of the United States and the world. His rants have progressed to the point that the three major television networks usually cut away from his "press conferences" at or near 6:30pm and go on the air with the national news just as they did in the days when the Corona Virus was unknown in the world. The television networks and their reporters recognize this TRAITOR for exactly what he is and this is as close to nothing as a living, breathing human can sink. America is in the worst health care disaster since the polio epidemic of the early twentieth century and we have no leader at the top. Instead we are saddled with a TRAITOR who does not care one iota bout the country or its citizens. What do you as a citizen in what used to be the greatest democracy in the world going to do about this?
