ABOUT JORDAN PALMER:  From protesting former Governor Fletcher and later Representative Fischer for saying "gays had not suffered enough", sponsoring a Soulforce Equality Ride, forcing school boards to allow Gay-Straight Alliances, rallying at Northern Kentucky University and the Hazard Pavilion, forcing policy changes, organizing Kentucky's 1st Gay Marriage License Day, assisting in restoring KADAP, to successfully pushing the 1st Federal Hate Crime convictions in U.S. History, to having Kentucky's same-sex marriage ban struck down by a Kentucky judge months before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the issue in Kentucky Equality Federation v Commonwealth of Kentucky (based solely on Palmer's legal theory). His accomplishments speak for themselves and his impact on Kentucky history, undeniable.

Jordan Palmer also fought Prop 8 in the state of California.

Jordan Palmer on Texas lawsuit; states suing each other. U.S. Supreme Court ruling

DECEMBER 11, 2020 - Texas claims its voters’ constitutional rights are being violated by the election-rule changes in the other four states. Legally, citizens do NOT elect the president of our Union; the several States do. Had the #SCOTUS heard this case, any State could have sued for laws they don't like. This would have been a pandora's box; for example, if #California didn't like the #abortion limits in #Kentucky, they could have sued Kentucky to permit partial-birth abortions, etc. Can you imagine a state suing another state for its legalization of cannabis? 

What the U.S. Supreme Court is saying here is that we are a #Union of many sovereign States, and it is NOT the business nor the place of other #States to decide what is and is not legal in that State, such as expanded voting, who may vote, what can revoke your right to vote, gun control, trespassing laws, criminal codes, etc. you cannot open a legal door without accepting the flood gates it opens. Plus, no one has proven that any fraud occurred, and if it did, what about States that Trump won? What if California decided to sue Texas, etc., because they didn't like the way Texas citizens voted? 

The only "fraud" is conjecture, not proof, and if it occurred in one State, it occurred in all of them. 

Look at the Fifth Amendment; it says to the federal government that "no one shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law." Did you catch that? It says no ONE. It does NOT say "no citizen," which is why the deportation of illegal aliens has been halted. 

We will not have a civil war because a former reality TV star claims afraid and websites in #China, #Russia, and #Iran are playing us against each other. I dislike this two-party system. But there is nothing stopping anyone from starting another political part (most other States have them).

Jordan Palmer statement.

Jordan Palmer on wearing masks in public

I don’t understand this public defiance about a simple mask. The mask is to protect others, not you. Lots of people pretend to be Christian, but they don’t live the life, if they did, COVID-19 would be in-check. A mask isn’t a difficult thing. 

The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” - Mark 12:31

Nationalism has failed us says activist Jordan Palmer

A lot of people are pointing fingers at others right now about COVID-19. If only that would save lives. It will not. We are in this and no one thinking to thank the United Nations #WHO, the U.S. #CDC, or your #State and #local #HealthDepartments that this is the first major disruption to our lives in generations. I personally thank you! 

Activist Jordan Palmer responds to Anthony Fauci on a United States national lockdown

Activist Jordan Palmer - Kentucky

The federal government, legally, CANNOT issue a national lockdown or "stay at home order". We still have rule of law in our Union and like it or not, the States share joint sovereignty.

However, chief executives [governors] in states who have not issued "stay at home orders" are killing people, deliberately.

Jordan Palmer on strength and being a victim

My strength comes from within me. I have never been a victim. From being molested, being beaten for gay rights, to having cancer, I am not a victim and I never will be.... I’ve just never had the time to spare. ❌ You can’t complain or feel sorry for yourself. 🤨 Enduring hardships and deciding not to surrender is strength. 👍🏻 Never allow anything to define you and make you a victim..... forgive, forget, and move forward. 😘 I completely lock something away in my mind and give it no further thought. I am always ready to move on and leave anyone or anything behind that isn’t positive or good for me. ☯️ I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong and always being optimistic. ♥️✝️

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls..... the greatest of these; the largest characters are seared with scars. ♥️😘 - All the best to anyone reading this.

Col. Jordan Palmer on being a gay teenager in Kentucky

When it sunk in that being gay could get you beat or put on the street, I realized that I had to listen to MY voice, MY soul. Today, it saddens me that too many people listen to the noise of the world, instead of themselves. I broke every rule and I'm proud of it because I did it in a positive manner, with no ill will for anyone. ❤️ I never bothered with who hated me as a result, even when that person turned out to be my Dad. 🤷‍♂️ I purged myself of what others thought of me when I was a child. The Creator was with me the entire time. ✝️ It brings tears to my eyes when I see people hung up on what others think of them. 😢

No one can make you "feel" something about yourself unless you give them that power. No one can stop you except you. 😘 No matter what happens, keep going.

Kentucky's War on Drug Addiction

© and ™ jordanpalmer.us

"More police 🚔. More jails 👮. 😂 The joke is on us. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Drug abuse is a mental health issue, not a criminal one. 💊💉 People turn to drugs not because they want to be addicts, but because something is horribly wrong and they simply don’t wish to feel it anymore. 🤔😞 I’ve never met an addict who on career day at school “dreamed” of being an addict like U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan “dreamed” of taking #Medicare and #Medicaid from citizens. ⚠️❌😡

Putting drug addicts in jail is like putting people who have an illness and need medical care in jail and simply ignoring the underlying problem. But why not? We’ve been doing it this long and we never change anything here unless ordered to do so by the Kentucky Supreme Court or the Supreme Court of the United States. Sadly, that is how progress is made here." - Jordan Palmer

Trump should listen to a true war hero, Senator John McCain

When a TRUE war HERO like U.S. Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) or a longtime conservative like U.S. Senator  Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) criticize this sudden and ill-conceived decision towards Transgender soldiers, you have to scratch your head.

Also, when Trump said "my generals," our military is not the private property of the temporary occupant of the Oval Office. 

But, everything else Trump has tried to do has failed miserably so now he is taking cheap shots in desperation but playing with people's lives and careers not to mention breaking additional campaign promises. #Trans #WeAreKY - Jordan Palmer

#Trans #KY #USA #USMilitary President #Trump betrays transgender community

#Trans #KY #USA #USMilitary President #Trump has, once again, betrayed the #LGBTI community he claimed to support during his campaign. In a stream of tweets, President Donald Trump announced this morning that he has banned transgender people from the US #military. Trans people were allowed to serve openly before Trump’s decision to force currently serving military members out of the armed forces.

--> Please note this decision notes NOT apply to State Defense Forces , State Militias, or State National Guard units.

Yesterday, it was reported that Vice President Mike #Pence, long a foe of civil rights for #LGBT people, was behind the push to discriminate against transgender people. Unsuccessful so far at getting Trump to issue a “religious freedom” executive order reminiscent of his disastrous broad license to discriminate he pushed through as #Indiana #governor, Pence turned his attention to lobbying for the ban on transgender people in the military.

“Instead of undermining the military, and disgracefully trying to take away necessary health care from soldiers, Vice President #Pence should be working to ensure all federal armed forces and their families are getting the support and resources they need and deserve, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation. Vice President #Pence definitely has some unresolved homosexual, transgender, and transsexual issues he needs to come to terms with.” - Secretary-General Col. Jordan Palmer.

#SB17 #weareky #medicaid: Senate Bill 17 will never withstand judicial review

Earlier today Jordan Palmer completed an interview with the Lexington Herald-Leader about Senate Bill 17 and posted the following on his personal and public Facebook accounts:  

#SB17 ☎️ opposed by me and Kentucky Equality Federation, and there is no way it would withstand judicial review (court), but Governor Matt Bevin decided to waste your tax dollars ✅ and signed it into law anyway. 🤸‍♀️🍻 My comments, etc. are in the link below. 🤔 #weareky #kyequality

Also, if you truly want to save #money 🤑 #Governor, then appoint the Vice/Lt. Governor to also be the Secretary of a Cabinet she is qualified to lead instead of just sitting in #Frankfort and drawing a #salary for doing nothing since the Lieutenant Governor is no longer the ex officio #President of the #Senate anymore.

Don't preach to me about cutting #Medicare and #Medicaid when you have someone drawing $200,000 a year for simply having a pulse! 😡 💰 - Jordan Palmer

#KY #KYGA16: Wasting taxpater dollars for so-called religious freedom - Jordan Palmer

Representatives and senators in Frankfort and the District of Columbia continue to act in the name of so-called "religious freedom" and wasting tax dollars. When is the last time you heard of members of a religious belief they could not assemble? How about a church being closed by the state? Our representatives and senators are twisting religion to further their own political agenda with yet another “religious freedom bill”. The constitution of this Commonwealth guarantees religious freedom, but not a license to discriminate.

Donald Trump's three (3) abortion positions

I don't believe in backing off an issue to win an election, it lacks moral character (regardless of your belief). However, Donald Trump changed his mind once per hour on abortion on Wednesday. I remain beyond amazed that people continue to support a candidate who doesn't know the issues or lacks the moral courage to stand by his comments. Another issue is that the fight for women's healthcare isn't new. Republicans have attacked Planned Parenthood for years, completely discounting the lifesaving services the group provides to millions of women.

Our differences

We are all basically the same, but our differences make us susceptible to definition rather than our similarities because "people see what they want to see." Release the rights and the wrongs of your life; forgive yourself and forgive others.... never permit yourself to follow the impulses of fear, anger, or revenue. Be with me, your friends, your family, etc. in the present moment..... once it has passed, it will never come again. Always remember that your life is limited, so make the best of it.

Jordan Palmer visits the Kentucky Democratic Party Headquarters

To demonstrate the limitations of human knowledge, logic, and reasoning, sometimes to make your point, you must turn everything upside down and carry arguments to pure absurdity. I don't understand why people continue to be amazed with my ability to do exactly that, but the smart ones have come to expect it of me.

Col. Jordan Palmer says to make it epic

When everything is said and done, the only thing to do is move forward in a positive direction. Surround yourself with positive energy and make the moves you need to be happy. People are going to take the role of God into their own hands and judge you anyway, so make it epic..... make it worth gossiping about.

History has shown that I typically take the path of most resistance, but I never bent my knee to injustice, ran from someone in need, or gave a second thought as to how others would judge me.

Even when I bite off more than I could chew, I took the blows and continued forward. Make sure you are strong enough to do the same, and remember, life is only rewarding when you realize your true potential and the beautify of your own dreams. So again, make it epic!

Personal message from Jordan Palmer

This past week has literally drained every ounce of energy I have on a daily basis. Each has been demanding both mentally and physically. I wish I could respond to all of your emails individually, but I simply do not currently have the time (but I will). In the interim, I pray you will accept this as my gratitude and love to all of you.

I will continue to use every ounce of time and energy to accomplish my goals. However, I would not be able to do this without your support and I have no way to repay it, except with love, loyalty, humility, and eternal gratitude. I will find the time eventually to respond to all of you, I never forget anything. You all bring something special to my life, I hope I add something special to yours as well.

Col. Jordan Palmer gives personal update

To those who have taken advantage of me and/or tried to tear me down, just remember, I'm a Leslie County Bowling / Begley, I'm Jordan Palmer (legally, Jordan Bowling Palmer). I may be bruised but I am not broken.
My message is that I forgive you, but I'm simply not in the mood to indulge you anymore.

When I decide I want something I make it happen. I have goals and now that this is behind me, I am going full speed ahead.

Kentucky lawmakers create misery

Elected representatives and senators in Kentucky's Capitol have created a government that destroys the right of society to comprehend reality, as well as the real world as it transpires in time and space, is the absolute worst form of corruption. Its wake creates a paradise for all who love the darkness, for all liars who use a pretense of good to hide a criminal intent to be enriched upon our misery.
