Breaking Keith is unemployed and kvetching about a real estate tycoon’s assets. Enjoy the circus.

Requiring my child to wear a mandated medical device,despite neither being sick nor wanting to, goes against what I've taught her--her body is her own & she has agency.Despite her will and mine,a GOVERNMENT is telling her that she must wear a forced medical device.This is abuse.

Resolution calling for resignation of Rep Gonzalez moves to a third vote. Ohio GOP votes in favor - calls for resignation of Rep Anthony Gonzalez.

This is fake news. I covered the event, and the word bloodbath was used to describe what would happen to the auto industry and the economy in general. Unfortunately, some members of the press nationally have already started running with that word, as if Trump is calling for supporters to be violent if he were to lose.

Apoorva Ramaswamy, Whitney, me, and Vivek Ramaswamy following breakfast this morning, during which Vivek talked about what it will take to make Ohio what it once was, the hub of innovation and prosperity - "the lab for the country that showed the rest of the nation what was possible." One Ohio lawmaker told me, "That was a speech to say 'I'm running for governor' if I've ever heard one." #Inauguration2025 #inauguration #JDVance #DonaldTrump #protectprosperity @VivekGRamaswamy

I think you have a moral obligation @GovMikeDeWine to tell the whole story. When have you used the anecdotal interviews to highlight families who have kids in the hospital on suicide watch, business owners who have lost it all, and loved ones who lost an elder to heartache?

You don't have the balls to be questioned by one of the only reporters in Ohio. Save it, Casey. You're a feckless, rhetoric spewing, classless, divisive, charlatan. I'd pay good money to watch Vance dismantle your weak, fragile mind in a debate. You're an embarrassment.

This is irresponsible of you. I covered the event, and the word bloodbath was used to describe what would happen to the auto industry and the economy in general. Unfortunately, some members of the press nationally have already started running with that word, as if Trump is calling for supporters to be violent if you were to lose. That is total bullshit.

That shot was fired at all of us.

Ohio State Representative John Becker (R-Union Township, Clermont County) filed a Private Citizen Affidavit in Clermont County, Ohio and announced 10 criminal charges against Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. Story to follow.

You mean the small businesses you shuttered and then strapped with mandates and penalties while big box stores thrived?

"Masking mandate--it’s a unanimous verdict of every expert and every person in the medical field." When someone uses the word EVERY...that's a sign of conversational control. I can personally attest--more than a handful of medical experts and workers DISAGREE w/ mandatory masks.

Facebook has "fact checkers" removing content from licensed physicians discussing COVID. Not only is the U.S. experiencing executive overreach in a handful of states (Ohio being one) - we are seeing what totalitarian control of information looks like. #2020

Warren Davidson not only endorsed Vivek but pledged to support his campaign, citing Ramaswamy’s passion and urgency as the antidote to excessive government, complacency, and radical ideologies. @WarrenDavidson @VivekGRamaswamy

Three Ohioans: VP Vance, Sens Moreno, Husted got Hegseth over the finish line. Had progressive Sherrod Brown been in office this would not have happened.

From Friday’s Wall Street Journal

Why are we not clear that a positive test does not equal spread? Why are we not clear that when positive tests don't translate to hospitalizations and deaths...that is a good thing? And why do we still carry the false notion asymptomatic spread is prevalent? @GovMikeDeWine

Honored @JDVance

"Two weeks to flatten the curve." Then..."Ramp up testing" Followed by..."Four to six weeks of masks." Now, this... Hey, bud @GovMikeDeWine, you have lost our trust in Ohio. @TuckerCarlson @Willie700WLW @MarkBlazor @IngrahamAngle @BreitbartNews @michaelpleahy

If masks work then schools should be open 100%.

COVID is present in 214 countries and territories. We have all the data in the world on the virus. When you hear "we need more data," what that person is really saying is "we need more time to skew the statistics in favor of our narrative."

COVID spread did not cancel college football. Testing pressure from bullies who advise governors and community leaders did - there is a causitive relationship between testing and COVID cases. Asymptomatic and curious people testing drove up numbers - not an active spread.#BigTen

Schools are transitioning kids - it starts with pronoun usage and goes from there. It’s actually happening in Ohio, @darreldrowland. We’ve reported on it at The Ohio Press Network. Perhaps you should pay attention to the independent reporting we do that you and other outlets ignore. It’s utterly unacceptable; particularly when you echo fake claims like this one.

Knox Co., Ohio Sheriff's Office is a no-go on enforcing mask ordinance.

Americans are smart. Data manipulation is much harder when people are awake and attentive.

And yet @GovMikeDeWine continues to say things like "if you want to stay in school"..."if you want to have a season"..."so you don't kill grandma"..."wear a mask" (and do, without question what we say). Abusive, passive aggressive shaming. Stop it. NOW. cincinnati.com/story/news/20…

Why Governor, do you continue to say we are in the worst part of the outbreak when cases, hospitalizations and deaths say otherwise? COVID is not 20X more deadly than the flu when, for most Ohioans, there’s a greater risk from getting in a car and driving down the freeway?

Leaders don't hide in the basement.

New York will restrict Cuomo's emergency powers. TX is free of restrictions. So is MS. In Ohio, I can't even get an email or call back from @matthuffman1 or @SpeakerCupp to intelligently discuss why Ohio legislature is winless in taking back power the Constitution affords.

Ashland, Ohio - A judge ruled that the Director of the Ohio Department of Health does not have the authority to issue mask mandates, social distancing or other types of mandates since Ohio law does not give the agency such stated or implied authority. sws.sh/trTco

You can vote your way (illegally, against state election laws) into socialism but you'll have to shoot your way out. Never thought I was the gun and war type but if duty calls...

We are being socially conditioned to hate people who love freedom. The problem: freedom is our power source—we all cherish freedom in different ways, but make no mistake, freedom is supreme…

Do they stop serving booze in CLE at 10? Everyone out of the stadium by 11? If not, there are about 22,500 bars & restaurants who deserve an explanation. And on Constitution Day we may want to consider equal justice under the law. But...nobody wants to have that conversation.

The problem with the Godless is they don't understand that when they try to take inalienable rights they are picking a fight with God, not man. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Perhaps your presser spotlight should include the owners @GovMikeDeWine - you know, a break from COVID stories and a focus on real situations that are the result of your public policies.

Temporary emergency orders can cover all the one-off anecdotal examples DeWine just gave opposing SB311. The bottom line: there is no Constitutional or rational reason for the executive branch to have emergency powers for months or years. Separation of powers is a thing.

It is an appropriate time to remind that Ohio law currently honors medical freedom through three vaccine exemptions - religious, philosophical and medical reasons. I am not anti-vaccine. I am pro-freedom to choose.

If @GovMikeDeWine talked to all children’s hospitals in Ohio on his way to vetoing a bill aimed at protecting our kids from drug companies and expensive surgeries that mutilate their bodies I’d suggest we call for an investigation into children’s hospitals.

DeWine during COVID (paraphrase) "Do what I tell you, damn it! I and the government know best!" DeWine permitting child abuse "the government should not get in the way of the family, child and doctor."

Lt. Governor Jon Husted was to warm up the Dayton crowd for President Trump. He was booed loudly twice - once encouraging people to wear Trump masks and again when he mentioned Governor DeWine. Although raised in Northwest Ohio, Dayton is Husted's base.

Nineteen state representatives signed on to support a bill that would effectively put an end to Ohio COVID restrictions. The bill's fate relies on Ohio Speaker of the House Bob Cupp. theohiostar.com/2020/09/24/s…

Mike DeWine

Jon...I agree. What will you do, then? This administration has created a series of policies that is the embarrassment of Ohio and will reverberate for generations. So my question is: what will you do, sir?

Kevin Landers at 10TV just asked why HB6 shouldn't be re-examined and voted on again...and if Governor DeWine would return money First Energy donated to his campaign. Solid question.

One year into COVID @GovMikeDeWine calls on religious leaders to hail the government's push for vaccinations. Does anyone find it ironic? The same Governor told this reporter: without vaccines & masks people were defenseless. Um, what about the amazing immune system GOD provided?

Amy Acton decided, despite the facts I reported during Ohio's COVID response, to tow the Democrat/Progressive line. The result? Losses in reading, life longevity and self-confidence in kids. That's only a sliver of the damage Acton did. I know, I was there and reporting facts.

Pence is making Harris look unfit to serve on the ice cream social committee. Total domination.

The 45th President of The United States of America is in Ohio today. The top two Ohio Republican office holders ducking the event. Trump won Ohio by 8 points in '16 and 8+ in '20. @GovMikeDeWine @LtGovHusted

Sir @GovMikeDeWine, we are here for a COVID update - not for a history lesson. Please respect our time.

Second test result negative. Antigen test (rapid test) may have returned a false positive. Raises the question regarding whether we shoud ramp rapid testing in Ohio--given that one positive can close a school and thwart a season. m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…

A quick note after my time in Springfield today: I've spent two full days - boots on the ground - in Springfield, Ohio. At the end of the second day (today) I was invited to a press gaggle called by Vivek Ramaswamy prior to the Springfield Town Hall he facilitated. Many of the questions centered around Trump, Vance and if Trump came to town whether the Haitians there would feel threatened. What a missed opportunity. In my talks with longtime Springfield residents and Haitians, the press is as disconnected on this issue as they are accused of being on many others (at a price for which they pay a trust tax - 85% of Americans don't trust news people). Luckily, I was able to ask Vivek a couple questions after the presser, one-on-one questions based on my time in the field with generous people who were vulnerable enough to tell me their stories. His answers were revealing; aligned with what I'm hearing in dozens of face-to-face talks and after countless messages and calls with Springfield residents and people in the greater area. I can only imagine that after the event that Vivek is more honed in on the reality of the situation. I talked to a man today who, by all accounts, was well-off, healthy and physically stout. He choked up halfway through my talk with him. In that moment, I saw the outpouring from what I know is happening; something we’ve all experienced. Something insufferable: to see unfairness, injustice and suffering and to cry out for help, only to be scolded. “It’s racist and xenophobic to complain about brown-skinned migrants in your community.” Or, “it’s better here - even if the conditions aren’t legal or ideal - than where they came from" (to justify exploitation). This community is wrecked. They’re being lied to. They’re being lied about. I started The Ohio Press Network because the press was not fulfilling its purpose. Today I was reminded of our mission. There are victims in Springfield - those who are being used as political pawns (and worse as I'll soon report) and those who are being shamed by people like Governor Mike DeWine, Democrat elected officials and the mainstream press - people who are suffering under unfair, unmanageable and an under-resourced crisis for which they didn’t ask. Both sides are being victmized and gaslit. All in a community that was already about twice the national average in terms of poverty. What's going on in Springfield - to me - is worse than COVID. It's worse because we brought it on ourselves (we, meaning the people we elected and others in our own country and community who made the decisions that landed us here). The problem in Springfield is in small towns all over America. For political purposes, those who get the most air time and attention are failing to identify the real issues. I learned a long time ago that if you cannot state the issue, you'll never solve the problem. It’s time to do both.

You are paying undercover inspectors to visit sporting events to cite schools, shame kids & parents. Meanwhile... 50% of Ohio restaurants will close. Parents struggle to produce income due to at-home learning. Just today we began mandatory testing our most vulnerable.

Gov is lifting restrictions on childcare centers--which he claims caused a small # of cases. CDC says there is not one case of kid to teacher spread in schools. Begs the question: why would we NOT send kids back 100%? @GovMikeDeWine @Willie700WLW @FrantzRadio @MarkBlazor

The President has more than one path to 270. Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina = Trump. *Plus, Arizona is now back in play. Michigan & Wisconsin will be legally contested due to the statistical improbability of all votes found overnight going to one candidate.

I don't care what CNN, MSNBC, FOX, or your local radio stations declare about who is winning - you have one job tomorrow. VOTE. That's it. Whether you're ahead or behind according to the pundits - show up. Pull the lever. Don't leave the line. Don't be refused. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

It’s hard to imagine Keith continuing to badmouth Riley after she handed him his ass awhile back. I think the question is: Keith why are you a misogynist? Are you jealous of Riley’s athletic accomplishments? Do you feel threatened by her intellectual superiority to you?

Last Wednesday during a press briefing Dr. Vanderhoff said COVID is now in the top 10 causes of pediatric death. I contacted the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) to ask for the report or source Vanderhoff cited in making his comment. ODH response - "we decline to comment."

Governor addressing SB311 shows he is concerned it will pass. The legislature & Ohioans who support the bill know exactly what it does and its consequences. That's why they support it. You can bet DeWine will be making backroom deals and threats on the matter.

Ohio Senate just voted to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of HB68 by count of 23 to 9.

🤣🤣🤣 I can’t wait to ask you questions again that make you disappear for a day or two because they go against your talking points. You couldn’t handle the task of directing the ODH, how are you now equipped to be governor? Honest question.

Yet the @OHdeptofhealth has yet to deliver the information I requested on the number of Delta cases recorded in Ohio. If @GovMikeDeWine 's words are true then the information would be readily available and swiftly supplied. I'm in week two waiting for the information.

Fully-vaccinated Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine reported Friday he tested positive for COVID. This despite past claims by DeWine and his hand-picked Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff calling vaccines "safe and very, very effective."

Email from Dr. Kilmarx at NIH discusses working with governors to "encourage implementation and create demand...Republicans who will be most interested and helpful include...DeWine." How did Kilmarx/NIH know in April 2020 DeWine would be helpful & interested? Lots of questions.

I wouldn't back into a corner a person trying to provide for her/his family. Take that however you'd like.

"It's difficult to drill down and quantify that." -Gov DeWine No. No, it's not. Cases, hospitalizations and deaths tell the story. The Ohio Public Health Advisory System tells the narrative. The story and the narrative are different.

Warren County Common Pleas Judge Tepe granted an injunction, blocking the ODH and State of Ohio from imposing on sports organizations the August 1 Order Story to follow.

How dangerous is it in an Ohio county that reaches red on the Ohio Public Health Advisory System – the color-coded warning map? Apparently not dangerous enough to keep the Governor from traveling there for his press conference.

INBOX: From reader at The Ohio Press Network BRAVO on your work on the Springfield situation. In Lima we have between 6-10k Haitians. They’ve been my neighbors for over a year and there is so much more to this story than just cats. Keep digging. Don’t give up.

Have you noticed every time I ask a tough question that unearths facts previously buried, e.g. wide definition of C19 hospitalizations and deaths, one news organization trolls my FB account and works overtime to discredit my work? Think that's a coincidence?

"Don't be afraid of COIVD. Don't let it dominate your life." President Donald J. Trump is male, 74, obese and under more stress than you and I can imagine.

@ end of June, CDC data: 25% of 18 year olds seriously considered suicide in the last 30 days; suicide, substance abuse & mental illness = greater risks than COVID; no data to support that students pass C19 to teachers. What. Are. We. Doing. Here #OpenSchooldNow @GovMikeDeWine

Every major outlet in Ohio is in panic mode about claims from citizens in Springfield regarding immigrants eating pets (when there's documented evidence that animals from parks have been killed)- but they ignore the housing crisis, $2,000-$3,000/mo rents, the stress and strain on health services, city services, education and more. Why is the press corps in unison? Why can't they admit there is a problem in Springfield?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Weekly Index disclosed “[F]or 6% of deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned.” theohiostar.com/2020/09/01/n…

BREAKING: DeWine signs bill requiring males in male spaces, females in female spaces in Ohio kindergarten through college theohiopressnetwork.com/news…

The fact that DeWine failed to mention this is not an organic problem but one ginned up by drug makers, the medical complex and their lobbyists (and that social contagion is a real thing driving gender confusion and not gender dysphoria) shows that he has zero clue about what we're in the middle of. This is a leadership failure @GovMikeDeWine

0.0002405 better than the meaningful COVID bills passed into law. 25% of 18-year-olds ponder suicide; 50% of restaurants may close forever; 2/3 of kids w/o a season show clinical depression; $775M in budget cuts; $3B borrowed from feds...because no one made halftime adjustments

Joe, I've had enough of your bullshit. It's a time for choosing. You're either with the folks who oppose political violence or you're part of the problem. Your history shows us your vitriolic, slanderous and faceless blithering has drummed up hate for Trump and those who support him. You're part of the problem. I'd suggest you get yourself in check. Pronto.

87% reporting, Trump is now up 7 points in the Buckeye state.

Honest question - if unvaccinated people are getting COVID (tests being used against EUA rules, btw) why is that a concern of the vaccinated? If the vaccine works, why meddle in the private medical decisions of others who choose based on their own risk-benefit calculation?

DeWine orders state employees back to offices for work

Let me make it simple - you are facing one decision: are you going to decide for yourself, your life and your family or are you going to give your power to the government? Do not underestimate the prosperity or poverty that hangs in the balance.

Testimony on House Bill 248 - Vaccine Choice and Anti-Discrimination Act. Cameras off. Cameras on.

With early votes in and some precincts reporting Issue 1 is failing 53% to 47%.

To say Ohio is 100% open while certain businesses operate with significant operational capacity reductions (restaurants, for example) and zoos, amusement parks et.al. remain closed...I'm sure I'll take much criticism for this...this is intellectually dishonest.

Let me make this clear. You know who you are. If you attempt to get the people and outlets who support me and the truth to knuckle under your bullying, you will lose. I don't care what it takes. You may have the money. We have the numbers.
