This week of Sept. 11th tribute proved to be a strong reminder that Kansas City is still eager to confront unpleasant topics in local politics and culture.
To wit . . .
CHECK THE TKC BLOG COMMUNITY KANSAS CITY POWER RANKINGS!!!
There were a great many strong showings but here's who proved most effective this week.
Check it:
CONSERVATIVE MISSOURI STATE SENATOR WILL KRAUS TRIUMPHED OVER A GOV. JAY NIXON GUN CRACKDOWN VETO!!!
Sleaze Summit State Senator Will Kraus stayed strong against a great deal of Kansas City Proper pressure and direct attack from Mayor Sly for his work on SB 656 (gun bill). A Kansas City Insider Seyz: "Two of three of his bills that were vetoed were overridden. He's clearly one of the strongest local legislators."
LIKE IT OR NOT, SEN. WILL KRAUS STOOD STRONG FOR 2ND AMENDMENT GUN RIGHTS IN KANSAS CITY AND THROUGHOUT MISSOURI!!!
Sen. Kraus plans to continue his winning streak with an upcoming challenge to beloved Kansas City Native Missouri Secretary Of State Jason Kander. This military vet battle against two dudes with horrible taste in suits and sporting high school haircuts is sure to be an EPIC struggle for Show-Me State SUPREMACY.
WE THE PEOPLE TOOK A POWERFUL STANCE AGAINST NO BID CITY HALL CONTRACTS THIS WEEK!!!
Last night we noted an IMPORTANT PROTEST AGAINST THE NO BID STATUS QUO AT CITY HALL and The "We The People" political group plans to continue their protest of a questionable deal pushed through by Mayor Sly, City Manager Troy Schulte and a City Council alliance.
MARINER KEMPER AND HIS RICH BUDDY NEAL PATTERSON VOICED A POWERFUL THREAT AGAINST KANSAS CITY!!!
The Kansas City Super-rich put this town on notice and threatened to move the American Royal this week if they didn't get a bunch of tax break cash from Mayor and Council. Like it or not, this
MAYOR PRO TEM CINDY CIRCO CELEBRATES SOCCER FIELD VICTORY!!!
Swope Soccer Village is conflicted and has a lot of problems but, like it or not it's the crowning achievement of KANSAS CITY POWER BROKER LADY CINDY CIRCO who was long ago a small biz advocate but now mostly works at the behest of local politically favored corporations.
IKEA SWEDISH MEATBALLS STAYS WINNING IN THE FACE OF KANSAS CITY MEDIA WATCHERS!!!
From silly campers to a parking crisis and then the cottage industry biz around the purveyor of cheap furniture and nasty Nordic cuisine . . . This big blue box store was clearly the Kansas City retail juggernaut of the week.
KANSAS CITY 'BUY BLACK' EFFORTS MADE A POWERFUL STATEMENT!!!
The Kansas City Monday BLACKOUT in solidarity with protestors in the Ferguson, Missouri uprising was the most successful grassroots protest of the week and proved that social activism and commerce remain strong but often divisive topics.
KANSAS CITY NEWSMAN LEGEND LARRY MOORE STAYS CLASSY AND WINNING!!!
He was named Kansas Citian of the year this week and there's no doubt that his legacy of charity work, public awareness to help fight cancer and overall civic activism make him one of Kansas City's strongest.
As always, this list has been compiled according to scientific TKC polling and market research data and it's a weekly comprehensive guide to local powerful people.
Agree that Larry Moore is a class act and he obviously has a great sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteIs there any evidence that the dreaded Black Monday made an iota of difference? If these Blackout people dont spend for one day, they just turn around the next day and spend as much or more, in the very places they targeted. One of the reasons minority groups stay losing is highlighted in these activism circle jerks like blackouts, boycotts, and protests. Pissing in the wind never improved anyones life, it just makes em wet and smell of piss.
ReplyDeleteare those real?
ReplyDeleteKander will kick the ass of Will Kraus all over Missouri. Will not even be close. You heard it here first TKC.
ReplyDeleteMark smith is kind or racist, he better recognize.
ReplyDeletewrong again Greedo. Kraus wins 59-39, a BLOWOUT victory.
ReplyDeleteThe rich threatening the poor.
ReplyDeleteIt never ends.
When will you losers realize KARL MARX WAS RIGHT?
Only thing decent in this Friday "Power Bullshit" is Larry Moore.
ReplyDeleteBeyond that, more douche bag, bullshit.
Hell the Polar Bear taking a time out has more 'Power'
class struggle is what keeps TKC blog alive
ReplyDeleteI know Karl, Polish guy who plays the sax at The Phoenix, right? Hell of a good guy with some really strange ideas. Not much a ladies man though.
ReplyDeleteCK=Detroit
ReplyDeleteKraus is hot!
ReplyDeleteyou forgot to mention that this is another week when russ retreated into a life of quiet desperation. that is the real news.
ReplyDeleteRuss "the cornholer"?
ReplyDeleteWill Krauss for KC Mayor. Get Sly out of there!
ReplyDeleteKeep boming the sand people or they will come back in greater numbers. Just like the Mexicans but without the music or hot women.
ReplyDeleteHardly a powerful statement.
ReplyDeleteThere sure were African American customers where I work.
Mark makes a hell of a point you retards.
ReplyDeleteIKEA wins Merriam wins KC Mo as always still sucks
ReplyDelete9:22: Desperation sure. Quiet? Not so much.
ReplyDeleteDude: Ikea has crab meat in a toothpaste tube. Where else are you gonna get THAT?
ReplyDeleteWho are you people...the polar bear is whacko...and takin time out cause he could not handle the truth.
ReplyDeleteHe can dish it out but not take it.
He is not some high intellectual worth reverence but Chuck is.
The Bear was all about the Bear.
C'mon give us with a modicum of brains some credit in figuring the bear out. Once he was exposed he fled for the deep woods.
The Bear is still here. He now is using his alias names like Flintlock or Potty Tang.
ReplyDeleteSome of you clowns masturbate way too much.
ReplyDelete10:38 you are eat up with the bear. And the bear could care less about anything you have to Anonymously say. Perhaps you should turn you jeans around and wear the zipper to the back. It would be easier for you to squat and pee.
ReplyDelete1:00 your syntax sounds very bear like. The bear is here but you just can't see him.
