Mayor Lucas is an idiot

 He honestly believes that illegal guns are the fault of the people making guns. 
Yes, that is right.  This guy is looking to blame anyone/everyone but himself for the spike in KCMO violence and it makes us all look extremely bad.  Pretty soon, our idiot will be mentioned in the same breath as the moron running Chicago.  

All these Kansas election stories right before Aug 2

There sure seem to be an awful lot of stories regarding the integrity of Kansas votes ahead of the "big vote" on Aug 2.  I do not believe in coincidences, and neither should you.  Is there now enough doubt in the minds of both parties that neither side will be satisfied with the results?

Consider the timing of everything and then look at who is leaking the information, making rulings etc... before you react to headlines.  Basically, do your homework before you turn into some lunatic that wants to torch towns or storm capital buildings.

This is your PSA for the day.

KC Mayor Wastes Time for Bogust July 21 Celebration

 Seriously?  The Mayor of KCMO just made July 21st a holiday for something
that NOBODY in town even knew existed.  

WHO THE HELL ARE THE PIONEERS?  Yeah, I asked the same question.  It turns out that despite our inability to find a tenant for the Sprint Center we were able to land a prestigious Esports team.  Yes, video game nerds.  

I am sure that you have checked out their fan shop for gifts or seen people sporting Pioneer jerseys and hats right???? 

Sure it's fine that some nerds formed a "team" and play video games together BUT does the freaking mayor need to celebrate them like this?

What a waste of freaking time, energy, and a day in July

Right now there is a Dungeons and Dragons club probably submitting paperwork for July 22nd.

JOCO Sherriff's Office issues Bullshit Response

 The Spin from our officials (from Facebook)

There have been many questions and false assumptions regarding an active fraud
investigation by the Sheriff's Office. To address these concerns, please read this statement from the Office of the Sheriff:

***

       Since the fall of 2021, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office has received more than 200 tips alleging fraud in our local elections. These allegations range from citizens who claim to be witnesses of fraudulent activity to those who claim to be victims. 

       The Sheriff’s Office is committed to upholding the integrity of all local elections to ensure they are open and fair. Any organization that has turned this investigation into a divisive issue or tried to make their own conclusions is working against the public’s best interest.  Nobody really knew about it until the Sherriff opened his mouth in Vegas, so is he to blame?

       It is the Sheriff’s Office’s statutory obligation to investigate any criminal claim that comes to our office and submit our findings to the District Attorney’s Office. To not follow through with an investigation would be a dereliction of duty. Trust me, they do not investigate all criminal claims.

       Releasing copies of these allegations prematurely, or specific details of any investigation while it’s active, would immediately compromise the integrity of the investigation and lose the trust of the citizens who bring allegations of criminal misconduct to our office. How about discussing them at a conference?

       Anyone who suggests Sheriff Calvin Hayden initiated this investigation or wants to interfere with elections is woefully misinformed. This investigation began like any other investigation: with a tip of criminal wrongdoing.  I believe that this is a self-inflicted wound, stop trying to blame the reaction of the people to the actions taken by the Sherriff for getting caught running his mouth when he shouldn't have.  

       This is a non-partisan issue. Our citizens want to have, and deserve to have, confidence in their local elections. Our citizens want to have confidence in our current government officials as well as in elections. Discussing this investigation with a partisan special interest group  is what made it suddenly a partisan issue FOR BOTH SIDES

***

       For the public's information: As with *any active investigation*, the Sheriff's Office cannot conduct any interviews, or it risks compromising the investigation.  No, they can only lecture on it in Vegas to special interest groups and then cry about being questioned about the investigation by citizens.  The actions of the Sherriff compromised the investigation 

**********

Wow!  Have you ever read such a bullshit statement in your life?  They are actually lecturing us on how wrong it is to discuss an open investigation and to basically keep our mouths closed DESPITE the fact that this was a non-story, NOBODY was discussing it until the Sherriff himself spoke about it to a special interest group in Vegas!

Not only is the Sherriff terrible at PR but so is the freaking PR department.  

Then again, when you have an office that will not take any accountability for its actions, what choice do the PR people have?  Did we actually believe a Judicial leader in JOCO to say, "my bad, sorry"?  In the past 20 years have we ever heard a Judge, court employee, officer, sheriff, deputy or anyone apologize for any wrongdoing?  Yeah, no.  

It is time that we have an audit to investigate the people that spend every minute of their lives investigating us, scheming against us, wasting our tax dollars, padding their cushy pensions, and doing a favor for "friends" by leaking information about pending cases or investigations, judges pulling strings for employees in personal cases, etc..  

Corruption has come to light and they do not know what to do.  They seem to be making the headlines for all the wrong reasons lately don't they?  For people that are supposed to be ethical.  

JOCO Election investigation? JOCO Corruption in Judicial has no limits.

This is the first I have heard of an investigation into JOCO election tampering from 2020, how about you?????  

How about the Constitutional Sheriff's and Peace Officers Association which paid for him to fly out to a conference?

And what about this quote from the man investigating a freaking election

According to The Star, Hayden said, "So I didn’t know anything about elections. We’re cops,” Hayden said, according to The Star. “So we’ve been educating ourselves about elections. I’ve sent my detectives through, I’ve got a cyber guy, sent him through, to start evaluating what’s going on with the machines.”

HOLY SHIT!  So an elected official that doesn't know how elections works is putting together a team of people that do not know how elections work in order to find out if there MIGHT have been something wrong? An election that was certified.  

Shouldn't this have taken place before certification?  What evidence of tampering is there?  Why are we being kept in the dark?  Is this some conspiracy theory crap?

OR

Is a JOCO official getting a free trip to Vegas and decided to talk out of his ass to justify his expenses? And creating a shit storm back home that extremist groups will latch on to.

Also, shouldn't the public be made aware of the free trips our Judiciary arm of the government is taking?  

I have been saying for over 3 years now that a complete and independent audit needs to take place in the Sheriff's office and Court House. The place is full of kickbacks, secret handshakes, financial malpractice, employee corruption, and best of all (for them) there is nooooo oversite taking place.  No checks or balances.  

They circle their wagons extremely quickly the minute any wrongdoing is brought up and follow up with threats that only they can make... So tread lightly when investigating.

"Stop the slaughter" didn't work, Sponsored by the numbers 1, 8, 7, & 9

 The mayor turned murder into a tagline and that tagline has done nothing to stop
the violence in KCMO.  Who would of thunk that criminals wouldn't hear the words of a political puppet and comply?  It makes you wonder who/why that tagline was ever issued.  Political posturing?

His words have zero meaning, his actions are nonexistent and his culpability is high. He bent at the knee of special interest groups and ruined the police department just so he could get favorable headlines from The Star.  

Speaking of The Star, how many of their reporters actually reside in a murder zip code?  They preach about policies that affect the people that live there but do not have to live with the impact of those crappy policies.  Maybe in a few years when the area is gentrified they will venture into the communities that they have helped ruin.
