HUNTINGTON - Growing into one of the Cabell County Public Library's most anticipated and beloved events over a decade and a half, scores of dazzlingly dressed young royalty graced the library's main branch for the 15th annual Princess Tea Party on Saturday in downtown Huntington.

Arriving as their favorite fairy tale figure, be it Snow White, Elsa, Cinderella or the like, children and parents were treated to magical storytime tales and games, all capped off by afternoon tea courtesy of the library.

For those wanting to enjoy Monday's solar eclipse, the Cabell County Public Library will next host an eclipse glasses giveaway beginning at 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 20. Approximately 200 glasses will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis to library card holders. Those without a library card may sign up for one at the event.

Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin raised eyebrows when he told a conservative talk radio personalty that a lack of Bibles in schools is responsible for the white nationalist violence in Charlottesville.

West Virginia radio host Tom Roten asked the Kentucky Republican about a controversial bill he signed allowing the Bible to be taught in public schools.

When you go back a couple of hundred years, in most instances the only textbooks that were in our public schools were in the Bible, Bevin claimed.

And its interesting that the more weve removed any sense of spiritual obligation or moral higher authority or absolute right and wrong, the more weve removed things that are biblically taught from society, the more weve seen the kind of mayhem that we were just discuss, he continued.

Critics noted multiple problems with Bevins reasoning.

Say it all together now: The Bible was never banned from public schools, Hemant Mehta at Friendly Atheist. What Bevinis referring to are mandatory Christian prayers. How that rejects some part of our history, I dont know.

And why are we trying to replicate our education system from hundreds of years ago, Mehta added.

Bevins habit of relying upon the Bible and prayer as a public policy response has been labeled as, Kentucky-fried Christianity by critics.

Bevins official plan to reduce an epidemic of violence in Louisvilles troubled West End was for people to walk the neighborhood praying for two to three times a week during the next year.

The weekend following Gov. Matt Bevins prayer plan was marred by violence, leaving four dead in just three days, the Courier-Journal noted.

Nine additional homicides have been committed in Louisville since that tragic weekend.

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, a holdover from the Obama administration, should have been impeached last year, but since he was not, President Donald Trump should fire him for rehiring more than 200 employees who had been dismissed for falsifying documents, Tea Party Patriots CEO Jenny Beth Martin said Wednesday.

"This happens because there is incompetent leadership at the top of the IRS," Martin told Fox News' "Fox & Friends."

"He is not doing what he needs to do as the IRS commissioner, which is to restore the trust of the American people with the IRS."

Martin said she cannot imagine there is nobody else who can work for the IRS who could do the job and who is not guilty of committing crimes like falsifying documents.

"If we file improper paperwork or falsify documents to the IRS, we are going to go to jail," Martin said. "We don't need people who have done that working at the IRS."

The IRS is a very "intimidating agency," she said, with its "power and authority," and there must be a sense of trust with an agency that collects Americans' taxes.

But that authority has been gone after the revelations the IRS was targeting Tea Party related organizations, she said.

Koskinen only has three more months left on his five-year term, but Martin said she "absolutely" thinks he should be fired before those months are over.

"The fact is, the president ran on a campaign to drain the swamp," Martin said. "This is a swampy activity. This is a swampy action. This is one way to send a clear message to the American public that he is serious about draining the swamp."
