Last night Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell squared off against challenger former Lieutenant Colonel Amy McGrath. She, along with another woman, were the first females assigned to the Marine All Weather Attack Squadron.
Televised debates these days, seem to shed little light on the candidates or issues. This may be in part due to the format of them, as well as the failure of the debate moderators to hold the candidates' feet to the fire by pressing them on tough questions, and the current climate of conversational corruption where politicians pretty much say whatever the hell they want regardless of the truth.

Mitch McConnell's Failure to Tell Voters the Truth
And Mitch McConnell is well versed in saying things that are convenient at the time, and then saying the complete opposite, when it suits his purposes. Four years ago, in 2016, McConnell told the people of Kentucky and America that the Senate was going to wait on judiciary hearings on a Supreme Court candidate - because McConnell said that he wanted to let the American people weigh in on the decision, as an election was only eight months away. This year, in 2020, with less than a month away from the election, he doesn't give a rat's ass about what Kentuckians or the American people have to say.
McConnell wrote an editorial in the Washington Post last year railing against proposed changes to enable voter matching funds for campaign contributions. Here again McConnell seemed to distort the truth telling people that the government would be giving money to politicians. But that's not the full story, and half stories are often lies. The full story is that the government would be giving voters back some of their hard earned tax dollars by matching [usually by multiples] the donations they - the voters - made to candidates and political campaigns. So really the government is giving back voters some of their tax dollars so they too can compete for candidates' attention and thus support in Washington - as at present - the voters have little power, and get little consideration from politicians like McConnell, except around election time when all those big corporation / wealthy individual campaign contributions buy voter ignorance in the form of televised and social media ads that distort the truth.
The Truth - McConnell's Ancestors were Alabama Slave Owners
Not one - but both of Mitch McConnell's great great grandfathers were Alabama slave owners - see NBC report. Does McConnell take that same exploitative approach to voter suppression in Louisville, Kentucky where there are a lot of African Americans? Louisville is one of the two largest cities in Kentucky and yet there is reportedly only ONE polling booth.
Does Mitch Carry on the McConnell's Family History of Exploitation?
It appears that McConnell has been deceiving Kentuckians on healthcare, as the Trump Administration is pitching the Supreme Court to strike it down - including the exemption for pre-existing conditions. McConnell tells Kentuckians it's repeal and replace - and yet all of the effort of the Republican party these past four years has been on repeal and we have neither seen nor heard anything about what is to replace it. I think we know the honest answer to question.
McConnell reportedly steered money away from Kentucky miners' pensions and healthcare, and into a Russian Oligarch owned aluminum company.
Elaine Chao reportedly looked the other way on low wages, health and safety regulations in Kentucky coal mines as Secretary of Labor during the Bush Administration. This was as her father's company, Foremost, was shipping a lot of [cheap] coal into China.
McConnell has been in a leadership role in the Senate at a time when the Republican party has had most of the power and yet Kentuckians still rank near the bottom of the states in healthcare, income and education. Why do you think that is? Is that because they watch and actually believe Fox News, run by another carpet bagger - Australian born billionaire Rupert Murdoch - who like the McConnell's seems to profit by keeping Americans ignorant of the truth.
McConnell Judges. Nominated and approved because of hypothetically because of their stances on abortion - or is abortion a cover for nominating judges who favor the wealthy people who selected them - like the Koch Brothers and the Heritage Foundation - and who will profit from their pro-business decisions versus the middle and working classes?
Elaine Chao: How Corrupt are McConnell & His Wife?
In 2014 Colombian authorities found 90 lbs of cocaine aboard one of James Chao's ships. Chao's father is Chairman of the Foremost Shipping Company, which ships mostly under foreign flags which according to the December 12, 2016 report deprives the U.S. of tax revenue and Americans of jobs.
McConnell's wife reportedly tried to steer money away from American shipping, ports and shipbuilders to help Elaine Chao's father who has quite a bit of access to the top members of the Chinese Communist party. Many, if not most, of James Chao's Foremost ships are built by the Chinese, and many are financed by them as well, with low interest rate loans.
In 2019 China surpassed the U.S. in naval or shipping supremacy - under the watch of Donald Trump's Secretary of Transportation - McConnell's Chinese born wife - Elaine Chao.
It's unclear if and / or how much wealth McConnell and Chao may have stashed in off shore tax havens, in a manner not unlike that done by many shipping companies. See Intercept report on February 5, 2018. Paradise Papers of 2017.
Elaine Chao failed to divest her holdings in Vulcan Materials - a road building materials company - when she became Secretary of Transportation. She eventually divested the holdings in June 2019 [three and a half years later] after this sort of corruption / self dealing was reported by a news organization.
Who Does Mitch McConnell Serve?
McConnell appears to be deceitful on who he and his wife serve. McConnell was self serving on CoVid - staying away from the White House since August 6th because he didn't like the cavalier approach to CoVid taken by the Trump Administration. And yet McConnell only came forward with that honest assessment more than two months later, on October 8th, after dozens of White House staffers tested positive. That's Mitch McConnell in a nutshell - looking out for #1. And that's why Kentucky ranks in the mid 40's of 50 states on education, healthcare and income. Mitch is too busy taking care of himself to be bothered by having to waste his time looking out for Kentucky - a state he hasn't spent living a single year in over the past yay many decades.
More coming later this week. Including a closer look into what appear the nefarious deals done by Mitch McConnell's wife Elaine Chao - corruption couple?
