  1. Would one of you lawyer types take a look at this, please? I'm confused by search warrent and affidavit of probable cause. https://www.kansascity.com/news/state/kansas/article278245883.html Apparently, Ms Newell posted to Facebook that she and the CoP were NOT sleeping together but it was quickly deleted. Nobody I know took a screenshot so it is just a rumor at this point. Another interesting item is that the city councilwoman that was part of the raided has been trying to get the Mayor to respond to her claim that $600K of city funds is supposedly missing. She claims he has been giving her the run around. Going back to my earlier post about the hotel selling Newell the restaurant, the hotel was purchased by these folks from the city after it had sat vacant for many years. It seemed like a sweetheart deal at the time. Just like an onion.
  2. I had to laugh last night when a local news reporter was interviewing one of the retired farmers from down the road. Wearing his Maga hat, he was actually crying and saying "This is America. We don't do things this way". Wake up, Bob. This is exactly the way your saviour wants it.
  3. The paper did not, in this instance, publish info about the DUI. The information was given to them anonymously, they thought it was a setup and contacted the police. The police shared the information with Newell and she went off the rails. I agree that small town newspapers can abuse their position but in this case they were acting with a lot of caution. Remember that Newell had already kicked the reporters out of a public meeting for a meet and greet with an elected official. In addition to this, the paper had received tips from other anonymous sources that our Chief of Police had been run out of his previous employment in KC under questionable circumstances. Word got back to the CoP that he was being investigated by the paper and you can see why he would be eager to stick it to them.
  4. I laughed really hard at this. More than 50 years ago, KFH-FM "Underground" was giving away a copy of The Who's "Magic Bus" to the first person that showed up at the shopping center parking lot they were parked in. I was 2nd and got a copy of "Mad Birds of Prey" by Influence. Terrible record.
  5. All of this is true and there are towns all over America, even in Texas!, that are just as fucked up. We Kansans hold no monopoly on dumbassery. Doesn't excuse any of it. Just pointing out that morans surround us all.
  6. One funny(not funny?) note in the article is that a local business has a back the blue type sign in the window. The owner of that business was outed as a former onlyfans model by a former City administrator (since fired for these actions) and that was then reported by the newspaper. She has since closed her business. Pretty obvious why the sign was there. To my knowledge it is the only sign for either side in town. I would get you some links to this,Ant, but I really need to get some work done today. You can scan the Record's archives easily. ETA: Goddammit, the layers of this just keep getting deeper. That City Admin was hired without adequate vetting that would have revealed that he had a past history of sexual harrassment at previous employment. The CoP at that time and his wife (city employee) both resigned because the council did nothing about this administrator prior to this mess. That same group of people then hired this CoP . Without a thorough vetting. Seems like there was a lesson to be learned but what do I know? Confusing, I know.
  7. To go full circle, there is this. https://www.hillsborofreepress.com/news/parlour-1886-at-the-elgin-to-change-hands-but-keep-same-great-prices The seller of the restaurant is the wife of the ex-hospital admin.
  8. If you have the time to go even deeper, there is this. http://marionrecord.com/direct/hospital_chief_quits_mum_on_why+5432quits+486f73706974616c2063686965662071756974732c206d756d206f6e20776879 And that Administrator's brother is this guy. https://www.marioncoks.net/people/joel-ensey I'm sure there is no connection at all.
  9. I'm ashamed to say this is my hometown. Brisket is right, most of these fucks around here only care about the 2nd Amendment. The rest of that rag isn't important. Unless the Feds gets involved, I don't see anybody in the State that has the will or want to make this right. Our AG is a POS (sound familiar?)and our well meaning Gov has been rendered toothless by the lege. Fuck
  10. No. It’s by my recliner.
  11. On the way to fuck your bitch.
  12. At least they aren’t singing the doxology.
  13. Less than a week ago we had a couple days over 105 and 27 straight days in triple digits. A cold front blew through last night with 80 mph straight winds, knocking out power in our area. It’s 57 this morning. 62 in the house. Power is back on but we won’t need AC for a few hours. It’s a nice respite but it will be hot again soon.
  14. How about a mostly complete set of "History Of Nations" by Henry Cabot Lodge?
  15. Thanks. I just bought another fucking My Pillow
  16. Here it is just in case you missed it.
  17. The Royals beat the Mets on a bases loaded walk off balk in the 10th. Really odd ending.
  18. Bobby Witt Jr has gone GS, solo shot and rbi single in his last 3 ABs. Our boy is growing up right in front of us. ETA: Witt is the first Royal ever to have a hit and rbi in 5 consecutive PAs. I’m surprised Brett never did that.
  19. The answer is always tree fiddy.
  20. I'm headed out to the CC for his Celebration of Life. Fuck Cancer
  21. Here’s the deal kids. Life is just a series of doors that you go through. But they are one way doors. No going back. You reach a point that you hate those fucking doors. Get off our fucking backs.
  22. Very little of churching is church. Yuvvie out front should have told you.
  23. This is my hope. The angst about the pick is more about the GM and draft director being holdovers from the Dayton Moore regime. The drafting they did at DMs direction was nothing less than horrible. The total WAR from first round picks since 2015 is 5.7 and Brady Singer accounts for 5.9 of that. Lot of negative WAR from the Hunter Doziers of those drafts. The kid seems like a solid player, maybe taken a few slots too early, but athletic enough to move to a more needed position. I'm hopeful he will be a solid ML player.
  24. I be damned. I can check all three of these. Additionally, I had a Ruger Single Six .357 holstered at the convenience store. To be fair, it was more of a general store and they had hitching rails for the local cowboys. I wasn't being any kind of badass. We still miss that El Camino...
