   Another avoidable crime is creating outrage in America as an illegal alien is charged with murdering a college girl on a jog in Athens, Georgia.  On top of this disgusting crime we learn that this thug was arrested in New York City in September.... and released.   Several media reports do not include his illegal status and criminal past in a coverup of the real problem.  It's so dishonest.    Trump rolls through South Carolina easily winning Saturday's primary that was largely a campaign to court black voters.  Trump's got a simple message in one short quote.  We'll share it with you.    Conservative comedian Shane Gillis was fired from Saturday Night Live in 2019 and cancel culture left him for dead.  Trouble is.... he's funny and popular and, well, SNL asked him to be the host.  Now that's progress.    KU seems to be flipping a switch as we switch the calendar this week to March.  A fantasy football loser takes his punishment for finishing last, one waffle at a time and Mahomes and Kelce and company are partying it up in Vegas.

  The Chiefs signing of punter Matt Araiza is not just some roster move, it's a win for men all over America after Araiza nearly had his life destroyed by a false claim and lawsuit from a money hungry woman.  Of course he's innocent, no charges were ever recommended and she dropped her civil suit.  So why isn't there a law that could charge the woman after all this?     At the same time, stud starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is still a free agent after a woman conspired to steal from him and then make up stories to extort him.  Have the Chiefs shown the Royals the way?   KU has had a week of rest and are clearly working every day toward March Madness and not a Big 12 run.  MLB has new uniforms and they are a disaster and you can literally see through the pants.   CBS fires a reporter and seizes her computers and phone, the Teamsters announce they are fully behind Trump and the DC hands on big money to single moms and you won't believe how they spent it.  Actually, yes you will. 

   It's probably a good sign that the Royals putting a QT patch on their uniforms this year created such a buzz Wednesday, one week after a gang style shootout at the Chiefs celebration put our city on edge.    Meanwhile, the mom of the thug that started the shoutout starts a GoFundMe page and it doesn't go over very well.    Joe Biden ships out the second dog of his presidency as it's obvious he's unfit to own a pet.  Uncontrolled dogs are a real problem and I'll share a hard story to tell about our friends who just lost their beloved friend.    The judge deciding whether Fani Willis can go on with her case against Trump used to work under Fani and donated to here campaign.     A gravel lot by the river is now the second most expensive place to park in KC.... for Women's Soccer.  Wow.  I'll share a great college basketball metric that KU is about to show a middle finger to and Eric Hosmer retires rich after 13 years but unfulfilled after leaving KC.

   I'm sleeping so much better now that I know there is no gang violence problem in KCMO, it's only group violence.  It was Group 1 versus Group 2 in a shootout at Union Station and the prosecutor won't give ANY details about either group and she certainly won't say the groups were gangs.  Can you imagine living such a dishonest life as the people that keep information from you?    Missouri Governor Mike Parson has the only solution short of better parenting, which is impossible to enforce.    Kansas Republicans have defectors as they attempted to override the liberal governor's veto of lower taxes for all.  How did they fall 3 votes shy?    A group against the new 3/8 cent sales tax in Jackson County has formed to stop the new stadium downtown.  They make some excellent points and I will tell you how I'd vote if the election were today.    The Kelce attack on Andy Reid during the Super Bowl is surrounded in controversy as NFL Films has cut the audio out of  the incident.  Conspiracy theorists are going wild.   Mizzou loses again, the College Football Playoff has a new format and a former NFL player hits it big in Vegas betting on hoops.

   I hope the Patrons don't mind as I've decided to share Tuesday's Patron's Podcast with everyone.  We'd love to have some new patrons by taking 5 minutes at www.kkhasissues.com and clicking on Become a Patron.      The patron podcasts are different every time.  Some are breaking news like this one, some are all sports and some are just lighthearted fun.  They're all commercial free and the are posted later in the day after big sports trades or breaking news.      On this episode, we fill you in on everything you need to know about the shooters at the Chiefs rally that have been arrested on felony murder charges.  

   As KCMO and Jackson County continue to drag their feet in even coming close to providing transparency about the shootings at the Chiefs rally last week, Quentin Lucas somehow comes out the hero.  By stonewalling, playing the race card, protecting the shooters and becoming a national story, imagine how his stock is going up with all the power brokers of the Democrat machine.  He is exactly what they want every Dem leader to be, and, still in his 30's, he's doing everything right to get a shot at the top.  It's a sober reminder that tragedies are good business for politicians in both parties.     Royals owner John Sherman admits his decision to try to build a ballpark in the Crossroads district was a shock to people in the Crossroads and now says he's working hard to build bridges with people that are going to be kicked out of the area.    Mizzou shockingly lost popular AD Desiree Reed-Francois Monday as she's bolting for a department in shambles at her law school alma mater, Arizona.  There's likely a pretty good reason why she left and a handful of minor reasons.  We'll share them with you.    K-State gets a player kicked out in a loss at Texas as their 4-1 Big 12 start is a distant memory and they are circling the drain.  KU gets a full week off to get healthy and continue fixing what's ailed them even as they are listed as a number 2 seed.      And our Final Final is a Hollywood love trio making a movie.

   The gang style shootout at Union Station still has more questions than answers.  How many "victims" aren't innocent is at the top of my list?  How many gang members were there?  How many shooters got away?  Who is the killer?  Do you have any leads on who fired the deadly shot?  But hey, who cares, really? The governor referred to the shooters as "thugs" and that left the door open to complete change the story and make it about racism.  Mayor Q stepped up and delivered like Patrick Mahomes on a game winning drive.  So predictable.    The first year of Covid "vaccine" death stats are alarming... wait until you hear the numbers versus every other vax available today.    KU turns it on in the second half at OU and many think they turned the corner.  Hunter Dickinson was unstoppable and the Jayhawks are still projected as a two seed in the tourney.  We'll break it all down.    Royals reliever Will Smith recruited Seth Lugo to sign with KC and the back story of how this happened will bring a smile to your face.    And Taylor and Travis win big individual awards Sunday night... its actually kind of funny.

   When you have a mayor and police chief that can't say the word "gang" at a news conference and shut down reporters who ask about it, you have no chance fixing our city's real problem.  That shooting Wednesday WAS what KC is.  There just happened to be hundreds of thousands of people around.  It happened at Crown Center a few weeks ago, heck, there was another shooting during the parade a few blocks away that nobody is talking about.   Now, my inbox if filled with people that think a downtown ballpark is the worst idea they've ever heard.  Will that stick or will it fade?  More importantly, why can't we get serious about a criminal behavior crackdown on gang members running around with illegal guns?   In Georgia, Fani Willis and her case against Donald Trump turns into a Saturday Night Live sketch.   In sports, KU coach Bill Self spent the week coaching defense, defense, defense with his road struggling Jayhawks.  They expect a full roster of players as they visit Norman, Ok Saturday.    Iowa star Caitlin Clark set a bogus record Thursday night but only needs a couple more games to get the legitimate scoring record and Tiger Woods is a shankapotomous. 

   The shooting at the Chiefs parade rally was right in front of us and I'll detail for you exactly what we saw and experienced.  Law enforcement were brilliant and two men and one woman were absolute heroes tackling and holding one of the alleged shooters.    While we don't yet know exactly what happened, we are certain, and could see it all day, that our society is crumbling.  Somehow we seem ok to accept so many things that no moral and just society would allow. 

   It's a miracle we can pull off a parade in this city.  When the City Manager told government funded radio that he pretty much told Tay Tay not to come to the parade, Mayor Q apparently reacted Swift-ly saying that's not true as KC is so inclusive.  At the same time, the Star runs a story with the CEO of the charity putting on the parade telling us we can't bring beer because it's against the law.  I'm sorry, exactly who is in charge in this town?  Elected officials?  Police?  The dude in the yellow vest?  It's a good thing the football team is better than KCMO.    The poor Royals had their big moment to show everyone their final/final/final/final decision on where they say they will build a ballpark and it got a little buried with all the other stuff going on.  The stadium has no view of downtown and what looks like a really small "entertainment" area but there's still a lot to like here.  I'm on board with the idea... I'm not on board completely until somebody explains the $2 billion needed to build.    We have a couple awesome Super Bowl post scripts featuring Patrick Mahomes and Nick Allegreti.   In the news, Mayorkas is impeachd, Joe Biden turns down a cease fire with Russia, Joy Behar says Trump will draft 13 year olds to fight in Europe and CBS News cuts 20% of its workforce.  

   123.4 million people watched the Chiefs beat the 49ers and we're betting that overnight number will be adjusted higher.  It's a new record for Americans watching anything.  In the aftermath, Andy Reid delivered the quote of the year... it's going to make you chuckle.  The Chiefs top rated player in the game was a linebacker that was part of the incredible draft class a couple years ago that has led to a complete makeover of this team.  Incredible.    The Royals are set to announce plans for a new downtown ballpark in the Crossroads District.  I like the site and only have one question.  But it's a big one.    KU gets bombed in Lubbock Monday night as Bill Self gets kicked out of the game.  There are two things that are really, really different about KU this year and I will share those with you.    Joe Biden is going to the doctor so they can put out a report telling us he's ok.  This after a new poll shows 86 percent of American say Biden is too old to run.    Trump has his pick for Chair of the RNC and plans to attend a Fani Willis hearing in Atlanta Thursday.  I can't wait.  And environmentalists are telling us not to buy flowers for Valentines Day because flowers are bad for the environment.  I'm buying twice as many!

   We often say we're not sure what we just saw but it really applies to Super Bowl win number 3 for Patrick Mahomes and this Chiefs Dynasty Era.  Millions of people and most of the players on the field didn't know the overtime rules as the clock was running out and Mahomes was tossing the ball to Mecole Hardman to win the game.  It was drama times ten in a game dominated for 3 quarters by the defenses.    Then, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan must have thought he was in the regular season by taking the ball after winning the coin toss... handing Mahomes all the fourth downs he may need to kick the Niners tail.  And that, he did.  What a win, what a moment, let's have a parade.  Stan Weber is here to break down the closest of matchups that in the end swung red because of one player.
