There is little "real news" in KC, it seems.

 For the past 3 months, I have paid for a subscription to the KC STAR so that I could see if there was any change for the better.  What a freaking let down.  

It appears that the only thing that the Star covers are racial.  Almost every story, editorial, and column are now entirely driven by ethnicity.  Can someone please tell me what it was that the paper covered before they were forced to become the Woke paper of record due to their racist past?  

• Today, for example, the cover story is about a coffee shop owner that fights racism by pouring caffeine down the gullets of mostly white folks, for a profit. HOW VERY BRAVE!  There are front-line workers and then there is this woman!  Soldiers returning from a tour in the sandbox don't get a mention by the Star but a business owner that happens to be the trendy minority to cover this month (she is Asian) gets a whole story!  
• The next, MU Social Justice Centers get covered.  
• Decades after Tiger Woods, the Star decides that a large Putt Putt course is worth coverage because the owner is black.  

If you go back through the archives in 2021, nearly everything is racial yet, I have yet to see the Star honestly state its own racial past beyond a bullshit apology.  Bringing in minorities from out of town to cover the city instead of promoting minorities from the city already working for the paper.  I guess if you have a shitty track record of hiring minorities then you have to scramble to ensure that you appear to have changed despite your poor hiring track record.   

The Star is now The Pitch.  

Follow by email is going away

 I received notification today that the "follow by email" feature that blogger has offered since I started doing this is going away.   Judging by the responses I get and how traffic flows to this site, I know that several of you utilize this feature.  Especially since I do not post on a daily basis.  

SO MAKE YOUR FIXES NOW.  Get an RSS reader like FEEDLY and stay up to date.

Black Rob - Whoa!

Symbolism over Substance - KC Streets

I just read that for the 3rd time in almost as many years, KC is set to
name a street after Martin Luther King Jr.  This to me is almost as transparent as the white skin that has kept such a street from being named for nearly 50 years.  Doesn't every metro area in the nation already have a street named after the civil rights pioneer?  Shit, some have 2 streets, 4 schools, and a bridge but not KC.  

So what changed?  Could it be that in a city that has ignored racial issues inside its borders that they decided to right a wrong?  Fuck no.  You see, it is all in an effort to become a WOKE city.  

Sure, the schools, crime, economic conditions, and infrastructure are worst now than they have been in decades (despite investing tens of millions of dollars into these neighborhoods) but at least the street, any street it seems, will finally be renamed.  It is a token gesture made by a token government to provide them with change that will not bring about real change.

Why would they want change when they are getting wealthy off of keeping the problems?  KC leadership at all levels is a complete joke and it has been since I have been a kid.  School Board, City Council, Commissioners, Mayor, Religious leaders etc.. have all gotten wealthy off of the backs of others living in subpar conditions.  

Hell, the only real areas of progress have occurred when those idiots have kept to themselves.  The only thriving areas in the city happened despite the "leadership" and not because of.  

This street name change does have some roots.  Go back to the 1700s and see what the Native Americans gave up for some needs and mirrors.  

Ice Cube - My Summer Vacation

It is Deja Vu all over again in Mn.

 The state of Minnesota MIGHT have some of the worst trained police officers in the United States.  How many people does this make in the past 3 years?  There is
George Floyd, the guy that was shot as his girlfriend sat next to him in the car and now this guy.  

One might see that training is the problem and increase funds for training but no, the idiots in Mn are the leaders in the defund the police movement.  With even worse training slated for the future, this will not be the last.  Will defunding the police in other cities cause an increase in this for other locations?  Yes

Judge Neil Foth's Troubles Ignored by KS Supreme Court

 To say that the KS Court system is one big country club full of secrets, coverups and lies is an understatement.  I had this story emailed to me today by some good
people inside the government after reading my previous statements about the man and I of course couldn't believe what I was reading.

1.  There is proof that Judge Neil Foth tampered with a case that was not assigned to him to push actions for an employee of his.

2.  He knows of leaks of private and personal information coming from inside the courthouse to parties outside of the courthouse.  The information leaked is stored on closed systems and is not part of the JOCO Public Court Files that is accessible to the public through their website.

3.  Information leaked contains private information about the mental health cases of people residing inside Overland Park.  This information was then spread throughout several neighborhoods inside the city about this person.  HIPPA is obviously not carefully followed by Judge Foth who despite knowing of such leaks, did nothing to remedy the situation.  I myself was presented with such information and could not believe that this was all simply a few keystrokes away from people that were not directly assigned to the case.  When I brought this up, it was ignored.

4.  Private lawsuit information that was once again kept on a separate system from the public was also leaked out of his office.  At stake was a matter involving several hundreds of thousands and involved up to 9 people.  Their private information was pulled, leaked, and distributed without a single notification to any of the parties involved.  

If you dig further, there is more but those are some of the more serious highlights.  So, how is it that this man not only gets to keep his job without a proper investigation but he gets to keep his role in EDUCATING JUDGES????????  Come on Kansas, you are supposed to be better than this.  Our judicial system is supposed to be better than this.  

Johnson County residents should be able to have their personal information kept secret and not leaked, sold, tampered with.  The courts are supposed to be above that.  We put a lot of trust into not only judges, but paralegals, admins, guards, etc. in our courts do we not?  Do they not get a taxpayer-funded paycheck?

Just know this.  If you have any personal/private information, active/inactive cases inside the JOCO courthouse either private or public, that information is being passed around more than a Kansas Divorce attorney at a Judicial luncheon.

KC STAR HATES COPS

 I will not drag on in this post because the two stories listed today by the Star should tell you everything.  As KCMO violent crime goes up, the Star decides to attack the police and make their jobs more difficult.  Stay Bloody KC, this is the paper you purchase, the elected officials you support and the city you deserve.

1.  KCPD Rick Smith is dishonest according to The Star

2.  The Star backs the claims that the police beat a criminal

KC Caves to Homeless

 

There is nothing better for local business, tourism etc.. than homeless camps.  KC has decided to follow in the footsteps of such great city's as San Fran, NYC and LA when it comes to homeless folks so we can all expect similar results.  Congrats KCMO, you have officially become a shithole.  

Lynyrd Skynyrd - The Ballad of Curtis Loew

“Follower of Farrakhan” - Attacks D.C.

 The look of disappointment on the faces of liberals
everywhere must be something to see.  They were all HOPING & PRAYING (do liberals Pray?) for this person to be a white male.  Sorry liberals!  

Maybe they will follow this story closely since a cop was killed and it was an attack on the capital.  Chances are, this thing is gone by Monday.  

Almost Daily Link Blast

We cover the news and internet so you don't have to because let's face it, you suck at it and we are great at it.

1.  "Black Army" coming to a city street near you this summer.  The TV should be incredible and end well.

2.  Blue Valley school district parents take first steps towards suing the district over maks.

3.  The GOV of MO is saying NO to Covid passports...for now. BUT what good does it do for locals to say no if Airlines, Stadiums, Arenas, etc.. all mandate them?

4.  Bally's Sports sucks at covering live events. 

5.  The media blitz to push for a NYC economic and population recovery has begun with a flurry of false stories involving real estate prices increasing.  

6.  Britney Spears father is an insane asshole.

7.  Lil Nas X is about to get his bag taken away by NIKE for selling satanic shoes with blood in them.

8.  Despite all of the development in the area, KCK remains a shithole.  A dad was killed watching his kid play soccer by a stray bullet?  As if watching little kids play soccer wasn't bad enough.

JOCO lives more valuable than KCMO lives

If ever there was a doubt into the population worth more to the big thinkers in the country then the percentage of people receiving Covid vaccines should clearly illustrate this.  Keep in mind that this is with the fumbling rollout orchestrated by the former Parks & Rec leader that is now in charge of Kansas.  This is also despite the Chiefs opening up Arrowhead for jabs.  

Stay losing KCMO.
