Back to School Covid Scare - Courtesy of the KC STAR

 To start, I stopped paying for paywall access, the shit is always the same once you get past the freaking headline.  Case in Point...

So The Star ran a story about an issue that nobody gave 2 shits about regarding Covid today in an effort to regain the toxic dialogue from the past 2 years.  The site, hospitals being concerned about kids retruning to school and spreading Covid while the hospitals are short staffed............. 

Did the Star miss the latest liberal talking points?  I mean even the cowards on the left are sending their kids to school.  They got their marching orders from Fauci, who was wrong again and stated that kids staying home causes more damage than kids going to school.  So ummm.  WTF.  

Is there not a Whataburger opening this week?  Why the hell are they creating this bullshit panic?  These dipshits are even calling for kids to wear masks in class again, despite them being proven to not work!  

The story is full of contradictions.  Do yourself a favor, live your life and take what precautions that you have been for the past 8 months.  Do not buy into the panic.

The Star will turn every story into a Woke Story. Even this

 So I saw the headlines about KC comedians and wanted to see which of our local
comedians agreed to talk to the Star.  I mean, traditionally comedians do not do interviews discussing their audiences heckling them.  If they do, it typically happens on a podcast with other comedians.  Not hack journalists from a newspaper with zero credibility in the entertainment community.  I mean really, The Star, and comedians?

Before I go on. Let me state, that I do not care who/what a person does or is.  So maybe it always puts my antennas up when others do.  

The two comedians that they interviewed were barely comedians.  The way the T-Bones were considered professional baseball players, they are considered comedians.

The next thing is The Star goes out of its way to find the perfect people to fit their woke rebirth since self-reporting their own racism a few years ago.  Both comedians happen to be black, female, and lesbian.  Ohhh and sprinkle in a little problem with their size just for good measure.  The Star failed to mention if either of them were left-handed or were double-jointed. I bet they asked though. 

So what does their race, gender, etc.. have to do with the premise of the article?  NOTHING, but this paper sure tried to make it about that instead of what it promised.  Let's hope that both of these ladies saw the article as an insult ane exploitation rather than a compliment.

KC Star doesn't support grocery workers

When the KC Star isn't covering Whataburger or racism they are completely lost. 

Last week we saw stories about republicans needing to be moderate in Kansas, and how one liberal in Lawrence wanted his vote to count more than anybody else in the State, and today we get Man vs Grocery Store emps.  

This brave expose captured the most difficult issue facing our city/country, self-checkouts at the grocery store.  More specifically how this Star employee will not shed a tear for the economic impact these machines have on the metro as long as his ice cream doesn't melt.  I seriously couldn't make up an Onion post that was more out of step with the rest of society than this one.

Keep in mind, that JUST THIS WEEK, there was a story about how self-checkouts were leading to people being falsely accused of theft, etc..  Keep in mind that this is a Star writer, so research and fact-checking should not be expected.

Worst News Site in KC is.....

 Channel 9 news

Holy crap that site sucks for local news stories.  Do they have anybody in charge of updating it? All that it consists of are RSS feeds from national news sites along with MAYBE 2 stories that could be considered local.  It is so bad that they would be better off with a simple "site under construction" logo from the 90s instead of the waste of a URL that currently exists.

KS crybabies are now featured in the Star

 WOW!  Some people actually are such big narcissists that the whole
the political process should be undone just to accommodate their own special needs. Of course, this mostly occurs from the left when they do not get their way.  From the electoral college to redistricting to Supreme Court numbers to filibustering to citizens voting to well, you get it.   The complaints never end from narcissists once they feel that they aren't more important than you.  Trust me, I was married to one for over 20 years.  

They just can't get over the fact that the world and this country do not revolve around them and their desires.  We have a country, a constitution, and laws.  So stop complaining about how your pathetic little voice will not be heard in Lawrence, Ks because of freaking redistricting.   Your vote still counts the same way it always has, ONE VOTE.  

This liberal crybaby is really upset that people, where he lives, do not believe in what he does.  I mean seriously, how long was this tantrum anyways?  You live in freaking Kansas, what did you expect? 

So his plan is to switch party registration.  Like this is earth-shattering or revolutionary.  This has been a tactic of both sides for the past 25 years and guess what, it doesn't work.!

KC STAR continues it's WHATABURGER obsession

Does the KC Star have a Whataburger beat writer?  I have mentioned
their obsession in the past with this average fast food place but today is a new low.  Today, they are actually writing complaints from customers! It was already hard enough to take this paper seriously with its over-the-top propaganda talking points on social issues but now, it is almost impossible.  

I mean, it's a freaking hamburger place, like McDonald's, Burger King, Wendys, Steak and Shake, and every other drive-through where you can purchase a burger.  It isn't even considered an upgraded burger place, just a simple freaking burger place with crappy fries.  

How about some coverage of locally owned joints instead of Ketchup merchants from Texas?

Instead, we get an article titled "Dear Patrick Mahomes".  What a bunch of crybabies. Whaaaaaaa, Whaaaaaaa my fast food was bad, let me write an article to the 500 million dollar QB of our football team.

The Streets of Kansas City are Bleeding and STAR IGNORES IT

 When you open your browser to the KC Star today to catch up on
the headlines of the day there will be a GIANT-sized header about a story that NOBODY cares about, White collar crime.  That is right, the Star is taking a break from attacking law enforcement, skipping soaring violent crime in the metro, and taking on a bunch of embezzlers.  Amazing right?  Such bravery!

Is the Star afraid to take on violent crime in KC? yes.  They have been afraid to go after the "root causes" of crime in the city ever since this blog started over 10 years ago.  The real question here is why?  Either the Star (which has admitted to being racist) doesn't care about black folks killing other black folks or they are the subject matter would force them to admit that their political leanings and beliefs have helped turned Kansas City into one of the most violent places in America.  

So just how complicit is The Star for the dead bodies piling up in the metro at record rates, year after year? Very.  

They have spent decades pushing false narratives, supporting crooked civic leaders, attacking law enforcement, and ignoring zip codes that they never visit.  When will we see any of the below stories covered?

  • The effects of discredited schools have on the future of children attending these schools? We always hear about the teachers but never the kids they fucked up
  • Gangs, yes, there have been gangs in KC since the late 80s, even though the media continuously ignores this.
  • KC as a narcotics hub for America
  • Lack of fathers at home
  • Religious leaders exploiting tragedies for $$$$ and power
  • How Democrats have failed the city for decades through inaction, symbolism over substance, and corruption. 
  • City Hall's failure to clean up blighted neighborhoods and dump sites. 
  • How candlelight and prayer vigils do NOTHING to lower crime or bring back the dead.
  • The effect media coverage has on Law Enforcement's ability to both do their job and to be trusted in high murder zipcodes. 
  • Each time a firearm is used in a crime, how about we are informed if the weapon was legally or illegally purchased.  I guess that would go against the narrative of needing more laws against firearms.
So where are these stories??????  Instead, we get a bunch of liberal woke cause stories about social justice issues that society has moved past.  It is 2022, Stop pretending that it is 1959.

KC STAR - Breaking Whataburger News Ain't exactly breaking

" Whataburger debuts its sauces in thousands of grocery stores, some around Kansas City"

When you can't even be accurate about this lame story, what can you
be accurate about?  These "sauces" have been available for months, hell maybe even a year.  To say these things are debuting is ridiculous and nothing more than a paid ad being planted as a story inside The Star.  THIS article says that they have been selling this crap since 2013!

If anything, it makes you wonder how many other stories THe Star runs that are nothing more than ad reads.

KC STAR LIES for SMSD regarding Thanksgiving & Holiday meals

 SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES????????????????????????????????????????????????

Wow!  So one of the wealthiest school districts in the metro area isn't capable of acquiring the ingredients for what they consider turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin freaking pie!  This meal is not made up of the freshest of ingredients and the prep techniques aren't exactly those that one would find on the Food Network so this coverup is complete BS and the Star is once again laying down political cover for elitist Marxist hacks wanting to do away with anything/everything that is American.  

Why else would they be canceling the meal and at the same time state that they are looking for better ways to include all cultures into their holiday meals?????????????  

I am not here to argue whether or not the pilgrims killed native Americans.  Yes, they did.  500 years ago!  Guess what! Everyone was killing everyone 500 years ago!  Humans aren't exactly peaceful.  Wars, conquering, etc.. are part of EVERY CULTURE on the planet.   Being woke, you must say that you are sorry for winning wars and make amends for shit that took place in a time period LONG before most people can even trace their family trees back to.  

How about this!  If you can trace your family trees back to the freaking Mayflower, then you should be forced to skip Thanksgiving.  The government can send in the FBI to your homes and make sure that you order Pizza that Thursday. 

Most of us look at the day as nothing more than a day to be thankful that we are alive and somewhat free Americans.  I seriously doubt that there is anyone that looks at it as some great victory feast!  Maybe some Qannon wackos, but that is it.  Are we next going to apologize to the British for defeating them and becoming a country?  The French?  The Spanish?  Even though all of them conquered other countries etc...  Do you honestly believe that native American tribes didn't conquer each other?  If you do then you know absolutely nothing about history.  

So way to go, and take a stand by taking Turkey away from kids and then lying to parents about it being a supply chain issue.  Such bravery!  Such heroic actions!  Something I am sure that they will celebrate as they sit at home on Thanksgiving and celebrate with a Turkey dinner because you know, they are all kinda hypocrites.

KC STAR Wants more Whites Behind Bars

 This is a story that has been around longer than anything I can ever remember and it is not surprising that the self-proclaimed recovering racist are pulling out of the scrap heap.  The headline is "Kansas sending Black residents to prison at a rate 6 times higher than white people" but beyond going into actual facts, they pluck some statistics that have little to do with the actual story.  No, they once again want to paint the residents that live in their area as racist. 

They give a list of things that the state MUST DO, but do not provide any data proving that the state is not doing so already. It is easy to divide a community by throwing out divisive bullshit stories like this, especially with little to no research done or shown.  Instead, they plucked some numbers from a left-wing group that has a clear objective.  (funded by SOROS) Reducing sentencing and putting violent criminals back on the streets (see every Blue city in the nation's violent crime uptick including KC) and turning whole states into Chicago's or NYC or insert shithole city name here.  

  • How about a breakdown of actual cases that could result in prison time, 
  • A breakdown of sentencing that shows that once these cases go to court that the majority of white people get off
  • A breakdown of repeat offenders if reduced sentences are given
  • Proof that the state hasn't done anything to reduce sentencing for drug users
  • Proof that the state hasn't invested in education, community services etc..

These are all "solutions" that The Star offers...... What a shitty publication

Kevin Strickland & The Star - Makes you wonder

 There are 3 things that the KC Star has covered this year and that is about it.

1.  Covid 

2.  Race

3.  Kevin Strickland

Almost everything in the city has gone unnoticed or underreported.  So why is it that the Star is focussing so much attention on Kevin Stirckland.  Well, it is simple, guilt.  You see, have we seen any of the headlines that The Star wrote about his trial and conviction back in the 1970's?  The Star came out and said that they were racist last year (and then tried to get an award for admitting they were racist) so one can only imagine the type of coverage that The Star gave this man.  So in an effort to cover up some of their guilt, they are focussing on freeing a man that may or may not be guilty.  They assume that he is NOW innocent but do we even know all of the details on this story?  Those details seem to get overlooked in favor of them trying to be crusaders in Wokeness.  

I have no clue whether or not this guy is guilty but if the Star is spending this much time and effort on freeing this man than it makes me think that he might actually be guilty.  The Star is almost always wrong, so why would this be any different.  The more stories they write, the guiltier I think he is.

KC STAR - Panders for 3rd place for admitting they are racist

 There are a couple of ways to look at this story.

1.  The Star did such a crappy job of admitting that they are racist that


they got 3rd place, in a state without a lot of newspapers!

2.  There is nothing worst in the world than pandering for recognition.  Why would a paper that openly admits that they were racist even accept recognition of any type for a self-reporting story?  I mean come on!

KC STAR gets story ideas from "The Wire"

 The headline today is about how the worst paper in the nation spent 24 hours with a homeless woman
Those of us that have seen the wire understand that they are trying to take the Dickinsonion approach to cover the homeless problem in KC.  Those of us that saw that show understand how insincere that this approach really was. It also shows just how lame and out of touch that the local paper actually is.

Are they so far gone from covering the news that they are resorting to covering the tragic life of the city's less fortunate?  I do not believe that anybody in the metro is unaware of what being homeless entails.  

Instead of spending 24 hours with a homeless person, how about they spend 24 hours with a NE Crip or blood from the '50s?  Isn't violent crime more of a threat to the safety of residents than homelessness?  Trust me, you will never see one of these woke liberals driving down any of these neighborhoods to grab lunch let alone spend 24 hours with a crew in the hood.  

For a heads up on more stories that the Star plans on releasing this year, be sure to watch season 5 of The Wire.

Be Happy KC, you have no problems at all...

 It amazes me on a daily basis how bad the local media really is.  If you open any of the news sites today then you will see 2 major themes.  Gay rights exhibits and YES, COVID.  Nothing about the shitty schools, corrupt mayor, violence, inflation, affordable housing, Afghanistan, immigration, or any o the other issues that we face daily.  We get two stories straight out of the white-elitist playbook. Two stories that protect those overseeing the decline of our society due to their ability to distract and divide.  

In 2021 who is against Gay rights?  Shit, who was against gay rights 10 years ago?  I would be willing to bet that the number is below 15%.  

And Covid?  How many fucking stories do we need about Covid?  It is like these idiots replaced 24/7 coverage of Trump with 24/7 coverage of Covid.  Maybe they all just simply lack the talent to take on other stories.  Or maybe the editors and producers of these outlets simply start each day by saying "let's cover Covid from 1000 angles" this week.  Or maybe they just don't give a shit about those other topics.  

There was a time in this city when people actually gave a crap about people getting popped every day, not being able to read, afford homes (despite working), soldiers getting slaughtered for no reason, the price of gas, price of food, price of electricity if there were enough officers on the streets to answer 911 calls if the roads and bridges were safe to drive on, etc... 

Or maybe it isn't just the media, maybe the residents of the metro don't give a shit about those topics either. If that is the case, then the city has bigger problems than we could even begin to realize.  Maybe the metro is getting the type of media coverage it deserves.

KC Media Sweep Murders Under the Rug

 I think it is safe to say that the KC media is pretty shitty.  The newspaper morphed into a shitty version of


"The Pitch" and the local news stations for the most part simply pimp weather (nothing really to report for a few years now) and try to out woke each other.  So is it any surprise that when it comes to issues that can be directly traced back to piss poor local liberal leadership, they abandon ship, misdirect and try to create further divide?  

We had yet another bloody weekend in the city and the lead stories on The Star are all Covid related...  Seriously, vaccinations, mask mandates, etc.. are a higher priority than little kids getting slaughtered in the metro.  When was the last time ANY local media outlet went after the city council and mayor for the complete shithole of violence the city has become?  Why do these leaders continue to get shelter from the media?  Hell, the KC Star has blamed everything and everyone EXCEPT for the leadership of the city!  Today there is even a story about VACANT LOTS being the cause!!!!!!!!  WRONG!  Vacant lots are a symptom of the crime, not the freaking cause!

This is another example of how KC LIBERALS HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS!

The Star falls for the Okie Doke on threat to KCPD

 If you read the headline of the story you would say duh, putting a coffin labeled
"the other white meat" in front of a large group of protesters at the KCPD HQ is KINDA fucked up.  So you would expect that the story would match the headlines right?  WRONG

In the story, the idiots at the Star actually believe that "white meat" stands for white supremacy....  COME ON!  Everyone in the world knows that PORK is the other white meat.  Slang for cops is PIGS!  HOW can they be confused about what this symbolizes to everyone and anyone that doesn't work for the Star (or KC city council).  To read quotes from protest attendees is really kinda funny considering that they are coming from within a city that has some of the highest per capita black-on-black crime, murders, shootings, and rape in the nation.  Also, this shit isn't new but blaming the PD for it is.  

Calling white meat "white supremacy" is such a bad lie that you would expect someone that is supposed to be reporting on this issue would actually bring up the whole Pork/Pig white meat angle but noooooooooooo.  They bought it.

I say that we pull the cops off the streets that folks claim to be getting slaughtered in on a daily basis by cops and reallocate them towards neighborhoods that would like to see an increase in officers to solve cases etc..  Once we do that, let's go back into those neighborhoods in 3 years and do a quality of life comparison.  The results will not shock anyone with a brain.  

If you were trafficking in illegal narcotics, prostitution, fencing goods, etc.. would you want more or less police on the streets?  Where do you think a lot of the funding for these protests is coming from?  Do you think that drug traffickers are stupid?  One of the biggest expenses besides product in the drug game is legal fees.  Fewer cops mean reduced legal fees, no time off the streets, and easier distribution of the product.  Some of these protestors probably don't understand this and gladly take the $$$ for "the cause".  

For decades there were already neighborhoods in the city that cops refused to patrol due to safety issues and with this increase in hate I do not expect that to change anytime soon.  Don't believe me?  Go ask a KCMO cop what Jurrasic Park is or what the "50's" signify.

Could KC be ready for a new newspaper?

 I have had multiple conversations about the state of "news" publishing (print and
over the air) in the KC metro area in the past few weeks and one thing keeps being said, "what the fuck happened?" It seems the past 3 years have seen a major shift in the way stories are covered and even if what we are hearing about could be considered "news".  To a person, everyone has stated that a more traditional newspaper could come in and completely dominate the market and drive what is left of "The Star" completely out of town.

It seems that people are sick and tired of being called racist and hearing about how corrupt the police are and how even more money is needed to fight "insert the flavor of the month cause".  In the meantime, stories from the North & South of the city get ZERO coverage, sports are poorly covered and JOCO is slandered.  To say that "The Star" has jumped the shark on racial issues in this town MIGHT be the biggest understatement I have ever made on this blog.

The local newspaper can't keep staff, hides articles behind a paywall, hides the names of authors of editorials behind the phrase "editorial board" and takes up political causes instead of trying to at least maintain some sort of charade of impartiality.  It almost seems like they think that they are going to create change instead of reporting on it.  Good luck, when your subscriptions have plummeted and people see your approach for what it is.  

 People are sick of being lectured and are ready for NEWS.

KC Star calls over 55% of their City, Racist....

  So here goes yet another barrage of stories about how racist and nasty the
majority of the KC area is.  This time, just because you are NOT in favor of the mayor trying to create a loophole to defund the police (which is kinda against Mo law), they call you a white republican racist.  If that isn't enough they compare NKC to slave states of the south prior to the civil freaking war.

Now I know that most of the Star writers are new to the area BUT NKC has discussed leaving KCMO since the freaking 80s.  This isn't news but it is a way to tie into their post-George Floyd narrative that all white people or people of any color that disagree with liberal talking points and socialist policies are either racist or self-hating people of color.  Let us not forget that for close to a century the KC STAR was the chief racist in town.  Ever speak to a reporter/writer of color that use to work there?  There are LOTS of stories.  

The KC Star then post a story that EVERYBODY in the city already knew about, the guy that Troost was named after was kinda a bad dude.  Missouri was a slave state (those of us on the Kansas side know this well) and there is a lot about the city that was wrong.  But let us not forget who has run KCMO for Generations, DEMOCRATS!

If KCMO is a racist city, then look no further than the Democrats that have run the city since my grandparents migrated here.  The KC Star and elected officials need to take a long look in the mirror before pushing out false narratives but maybe this is part of their plan. 

Democrats in KCMO are like the kid in class that farted and then proceeded to blame everyone around them that were just minding their own business.

KSHB Will Not Identify Criminal Suspects Unless

KSHB just came out on the side of criminals, in a city full of crime.  You can
now only get a description of the criminal if they have a tattoo on their face saying I am a criminal or wearing a bozo nose.  Otherwise, the descriptions will not be given.  You see they have these guidelines because they think that they are born racist and that you the viewer are too.  If you hear that a suspect is a certain race, they assume that KC residents will believe that every person of that race will be guilty of the crime.

Sure there are moronic people out there that think that way but since when do we as a community cater to the morons? 

The minute you get a liberal stating that they are in favor of this move is the minute you are sitting across from a racist.  You see, they won't say that this is due to "black lives matter" but it is.  Isn't it a backward way of saying that they have been a racist in the past?  This is a lot like a fat person setting guidelines on food to lose weight but not admitting that they have been or are fat.  

The shit you find when scanning the local headlines is mind-numbing.  This makes 2 posts about race in a freaking day when this is the last freaking subject I want to discuss.  The news media sucks because both of these posts come out of the organizations themselves trying to call us all racist.  Fuck them

24 hour coverage of 5 inches of snow????



Wow, you would that the world was coming to an end if you watched local news tonight. The crap that they are now reporting on is so trivial and unimportant that they are losing any chance of actually relaying important information to their viewers.

How many locations do I have to see field reporters stand in front of a camera and say "Yep it's snowing, don't drive if you don't have to?

Or my favorite new one, showing reporters driving on the roads. I think they are trying to recreate the effect of helicopters covering tornados. The only problem with that is sever storms need to be tracked and tornados can pop out at anytime during a threatening storm. These roads have been getting bad for over 8 hours now! This isn't late breaking news.

I keep waiting for Katie Horner to make a surprise appearance on my screen to tell me to wear a helmet when out shoveling.
Meanwhile, the rest of the nation doesn't give two craps about a snow storm that doesn't take place on the East coast.  Not one major news site last night even mentioned this "horrific" snow fall on their webpage last night.  This is just an example of the media not giving a crap about what happens to the rest of us out here in fly over country.

Which is worst?

Below are the front pages of 4 major news sites as of midnight last night.
