Hot damn, TKC. You were right. Katy could see her "renaissance" very soon.
ReplyDeleteNot much creativity here. Why do w they think recycling the same politicos that created this mess will change anything? I say blow it up. Let's start over with bright , new, young council persons who are not obligated to anyone!
ReplyDeleteHey ya'll, just wanted to direct you to the FULL list that Mahoney blog posted after us:

Let's start over with bright , new, young council persons who are not obligated to anyone!
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
Voters get what they deserve
ReplyDeleteGuess that speculated increase in the Firefighter budget talks more then common sense.
ReplyDeleteThat's how you buy a vote block with influence. Say - we'll increase your budget if you endorse me.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the 1st District endorsement? Could it be Dick Davis?
ReplyDeleteTheresa Garza-Ruiz? How they going to know which address to go to if she ever needs the fire departments services?
ReplyDeleteWow, they didn't support one of there own in the 1st district! Must think he is going to lose.
ReplyDeleteGuess Clay must be anti firefighter.
ReplyDelete1:08, I would say Heather Hall.
ReplyDeleteSo they are basically endorsing another four years of hell. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIf the city was cutting the fire department budget the list would look different.
ReplyDeleteThe crime rate keeps the fire department busy on emergency calls doesn't it? So the Sly endorsement makes sense.
ReplyDeleteIs there a hairdresser or nail tech in this lineup?
ReplyDeleteHouse of Cousins Part 2
ReplyDeleteJust means another four years of border wars, tax increases, debt, deficits, and all the rest of it. Nothing to worry about.
ReplyDeleteGood news and reasons to believe are in short supply.
ReplyDeleteI can say this, if I have any say in anything the fire department has to get through me or my vote it will be a big fat go fuck yourself, next time your out there holding out a rubber boot begging for money at the stop light my answer will be "go see your mayor or scott wagner you no good fuck" if they want to endorse the very people who keep fucking me as a tax payer than I feel obligated to share the very same with the fire department
ReplyDeleteThe boot drive is not for the fire department, its a nationwide fundraiser for muscular dystrophy
DeleteThe 446-page budget document from James and Schulte reads like a textbook example of a major "fiscal crisis".
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be easier and maybe even less expensive for the taxpayers to just do away with the mayor and council and have the city treasury directly tapped by developers, Burns and Mac, the Downtown Council, KCFD, development attorneys, east side grifters, and all the rest of the usual suspects?
ReplyDeleteThe 85% of the metro's residents who DON'T live in KCMO watch another round of losers and the same old tiresome crap and just thank their lucky stars they don't live there and continue to laugh and laugh.
The arts and innovation capital of the country.
Hahahahahaha!
So now we know who not to vote for.
ReplyDeleteIf the firefighters are supporting Shields and that dead-beat, Bacchus, then they are obvious the most stupid, worthless group out there. These two idiots are morons and have no business being elected to anything. If these are your recommendations firefighters, you must be idiots as well.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like it move. Good advice. Easier said then done though for some.
ReplyDeleteI guess they aren't endorsing Branes because the guy has the balls to call out Big Bazooka's Ruiz?
ReplyDeleteoops Barnes sorry!
ReplyDeleteSewer repair fees. They can move emergency money from the 13 percent increase this year that's supposed to fix sewers into firefighting.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of fighting fires how is City Hall doing this week?
ReplyDeleteLOL 2:25!
ReplyDeleteWell we all know that just because they are backing these clowns don't mean the rest of us need to.
ReplyDeleteBut since Sly covered the FD's ass on the JJ fire guess they figured they needed to back him.
3:03 - Mayor Sly James pushes new Kansas City budget. 2/15/2015 9:00 AM The Star
ReplyDeleteKansas City’s proposed $1.47 billion budget contains millions more for the Fire Department in overtime and other expenses.
Worked like a charm
Whats Sly going to run on. Tax cuts for citizens, a freeze on water department rate increases, rent caps, snow removal, no free programs for irresponsible parents, high quality education?
ReplyDeleteBetween Local 42 and Freedom Inc. you have about 90 percent of what is wrong with this town.
ReplyDeleteI am a Firefighter, but I am also a Catholic, and I try to be a good Father to my kids. There is no way in the world that I can vote with the union in favore of a sodomite. Ms. Justus you lifestyle disgusts me and I will not vote for you.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the cafeteria "Catholic" pretending to be firefighter at 3:48 should listen to what his pope says and quit worrying so much about gay stuff all the time and instead focus in the actual shit Jesus said you should be focusing on.
DeleteJustus is a nut case. Her zombie google blog Fresh Meat is still out there as proof. Hasn't been updated since 2011. But she has what she calls The Slaughterhouse (Archives)on the right sidebar.
ReplyDeleteHer husband? wife? is a former Army Sgt so if that's of any consolation. Not sure who plays what role in the "marriage" though.
ReplyDeleteShe has Sly's endorsement apparently so I guess that's what really matters.
What really matters I think is taxpayers continue to carry 75% of the burden for the Cordish deal. But hey Cordish says it's a great deal for taxpayers so it must be true!!
ReplyDeleteSly has all kinds of great deals for the taxpayers in case you haven't noticed the negative balance in your disposable income account after all the bills get paid.
ReplyDeleteDon't we have any certified Mensa candidates running? I mean imagine all the great things we could dream of with a Mensa on board.
ReplyDeleteWho's going to recognize and emergency when moving money?
ReplyDeletei think we should break up and dissolve CK. "Downtown Missouri" or "Sly Missouri" would be an excellent start. Let them tax and spend themselves into oblivion without the interference of the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteEveryone Shut up. We need political correctness to stifle any conversation, debate, dissent, and objections.
ReplyDeleteEpic Toy Train supporter lineup.
ReplyDeleteSometimes just going downhill is enough to keep the momentum going.
ReplyDeleteNo pink hair or feather boa wearing candidate this time around?
ReplyDeleteIt's mostly white, that's good.
ReplyDeleteThink about it - if you see a black in a public space, you are going to steer clear of him. He might not be trouble, but he might, and the hassle is not worth it. It could be something major, it could be something minor, but that’s up to him, and what kind of a mood he is in that day, and if he’s in a screw with whitey mood, you are in for some heartburn you don’t need.
Black behavior to own and control a social space varies from just hanging out, to hanging out and talking loudly, to being very physically active and boisterous, to play-fighting, standing in the middle of spaces intended for walking, walking four abreast down a sidewalk, walking in the middle of the street, stopping a car in the middle of the street to speak with someone walking in the street, stopping a car in the middle of the street to talk with someone in another car also stopped in the middle of the street - in general, many uses of social space not intended by the white designers, and regarded as inappropriate and selfish by white cultural standards.
Blacks get away with this first by their childishness and playfulness - reprimanding children is something whites do reluctantly, although blacks don’t hesitate to harshly punish misbehaving children. One black will not be challenged because whites rely on general social pressure to enforce most rules, rarely confronting people directly. Two or more blacks will not be challenged, because blacks play off and reinforce each other, and challenging them will most certainly result in a loud, angry confrontation. Challenge three blacks and physical violence is almost probable.
Blacks in social space are in their kingdom, but every kingdom has borders that must be jealously protected. Surrender is frequently the strategy. Too many blacks, and whites leave. Blacks are the reason for the demise of the indoor mall. In the ghetto, authorities tolerate and accept this kind of behavior, because most of the residents are black and the community supports it.
Sometime however there will be some push back. In some middle-class black Detroit suburbs, the residents have reacted negatively to the arrival of ghetto blacks and their norms. Because all parties are black in this case, it can be described as a culture clash, although the middle-class blacks moved to the suburbs precisely for a white social environment.
This kind of simple enforcement of social norms by authority figures is what is constantly attacked by blacks and white progressives as evil, racist police harassment. But as I have shown, it is normal for this behavior to be tolerated in most instances. It is sometimes still necessary to tell people to not do things. Blacks will complain that the police don’t ticket whites for drinking beer on the sidewalk, but that’s because whites don’t drink beer on the sidewalk- they do it on their couch, in their backyard, or maybe on the front porch, but never on the sidewalk. Blacks could do the same, but they like the idea of making the public space of the sidewalk into their own personal space.
I wrote about this in detail some time ago about the Trayvon Martin case. I find myself repeating myself because of a few more recent news items, each itself completely unremarkable, but showing this pattern. My answer is the same now- make a habit of questioning and confronting blacks, if only by eye contact. Blacks need to broken of the habit of casually intimidating whites, if only by letting them know they are being watched. Any obnoxious or illegal behavior should be referred to the police or other authorities.
Blacks like to use the word “peace”, but peace to them means exactly the same thing it does to Moslems, which is submission. You can be at peace with a black if you submit to him, he of course the sole judge as to whether your submission is complete or sincere enough. It’s a losing game, so don’t submit at all.
Posts like this make me happy I took, my tax paying, mba education and upper 6 figure salary earning Black self and my family the hell out of Kansas City. Trash like you don't deserve my tax dollars to pay for your meth rehab and your government sponsored healthcare. Die slow amd painfully.
Delete3:48-4:09: I don't care what Jolie does (or doesn't do) in bed. If she'd be a fiscally responsible council person I'd favor her, but I've had a few conversations with her and I have my doubts.
ReplyDeleteThat said, you might want to consider how the new council will impact your personal lives and finances and not worry too much about their private lives.
I Love my FIREFIGHTERS!!!
ReplyDelete@518, yes, and they are not doing it on their own time.
ReplyDeleteWhat is 42's opinion on the Royals starting lineup for April?
We're standing on the street corner to support kids and family's that need a hand. We're not out of service and available to respond to 911 calls probably faster then we normally would because we're already in the rigs. Don't hate, we're just trying to help kids.
DeletePretty obvious election tactic from Slie and crew. As if the fire department couldn't do a good job on a fair and humble budget.
ReplyDeleteKCMO is a shit hole and only those that are paid by KCMO defend them. They know they have no chance at a real job, go down with the ship.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Everybody likes to compare KC to Detroit, Many former Detroit "big wigs" are in prison... We can only hope!
I love firefighters but this is just vote for status quo.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the deal with Justus? She has a blog which never gets updated or is that the way she actually works, sporadically? The blog name is very revealing.
