America's challenging relationship with police departments varies from rage to undying support for the thin blue line. The current presidential campaign offers a variance in views regarding police funding and power. In Louisville, Kentucky, the metro police department has been slowly rebuilding since the 2020 shooting of Breonna Taylor, who was shot to death when police returned fire after Taylor's boyfriend Kenneth Walker shot at officers who broke through the front door to serve a warrant.

Doug Proffitt is living his boyhood dream as hometown news anchor
WHAS11 news anchor Doug Proffitt took nearly the same path that I trudged. He loved WHAS, Inc. even as a young kid and knew that he wanted to eventually work here. Being part of the WHAS Crusade for Children remains a strong attraction for both of us. Proffitt has won major awards for his reporting and anchoring WHAS11 news for over three decades. His younger colleagues cherish working with him and are thrilled that he has no intention of leaving anytime soon. Proffitt is the pillar of WHAS11 and a revered voice of the Louisville community. I appreciate his continuous support of me and the giant signal of WHAS Radio, some 38 years after it was torn away from its sister station WHAS11
Scottie Scheffler’s attorney: NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE 👮♂️ they’re trying to coerce self-incrimination
Louisville's embarrassing saga surrounding the arrest of world #1 golfer Scottie Scheffler has reached its conclusion. Attorney Steve Romines defended Scheffler from the outset, declaring that the county attorney had better dismiss the charges or that "we will go to trial. We are not interested in any settlement." Romines joined me on WHAS Radio one day after Scottie Scheffler's legal case was dissolved by local prosecutors. NEW: Scottie Scheffler's attorney issues a fiery response to the charges being dropped against Scottie Scheffler.

The Clydesdales win with everyone else playing for second
A Clydesdale. A horse farm. A prodigal son runs to daddy. I'm not crying. You're crying. Budweiser still delivers the best of the best in Super Bowl commercials. That 2013 baby Clydesdale storyline is tough to top. Lots of other advertisers vie to generate amplified attention through clever ads placed in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. Walter the Cat is America's newest commercial star. The amazingly hardy cat stuns onlookers while his Chevy truck owner daddy can't understand why people are so intrigued. The guy just wants people to notice his tricked out truck. Chevy's Walter the Cat series is a hit. Here's the newest one. Enjoy this delightful assortment of clever messaging. Definitely some more talent here. For background, let's visit with

Two babies swaddled in blankets survive Kentucky tornado that sends their bathtub airborne
Police body cam video shows the rescue of two baby boys who were placed in a bathtub as a tornado approached their grandmother's Kentucky home on December 10.

Neither child was injured. Watch the above video to see the rescues and hear Clara Lutz's reaction when the deputies deliver her grandbabies back to her.
