Amid a tragic week for Kansas City, a few people stayed strong in the face of adversity . . . To wit:
CHECK THE TKC WEEKLY POWER RANKINGS TONIGHT!!!
Here are the looks who took their game to the next level . . .
Jackson County Prosecutor "Mean" Jean Peters Baker And Speedy Triple Homicide Charges Impressed Local Authorities
The pressure is now on "Mean Jean" to earn a conviction on Murder in the 1st degree charges BUT starting the case in less than 48 hours of the horrific South Kansas City murders earned the respect of even her harshest critics.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill Makes Herself A Midwest Regional Power Broker
She's not content to run Missouri, Sen. Claire wants a say in Kansas politics as well. And yes, she's running for Governor as KICK-ASS TKC INSIDERS told us first.
KSHB Investigator Ryan Kath Uncovers An INCREDIBLE Grandview Ticket Controversy That's Getting More Serious Thanks To Fed Investigation

Call it earned media or a favor for future adverts . . . This furniture store was the top local retailer in the news this week.
COWTOWN CORPORATE POWER: NO BID KANSAS CITY CONTRACTS RULE THE DAY UNDER TENURE OF MAYOR SLY JAMES!!!
A rush deal raises strong questions about the sketchy way business is done at City Hall. Like it or not, this kind of insider no-bid award has been the hallmark of Mayor Sly's Administration.
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.
Right on one thing at least, this week was rough.
ReplyDeletePay to play!
ReplyDeleteMean Jean is kind of sexy.
ReplyDeleteNow you know who the boss is at City hall and it's not the union goons.
ReplyDeleteSports, beer, barbecue
ReplyDeletedeveloping...
I think it's time to kick back for a few days. Let's call a stand down with the bigots?
ReplyDeleteDamn Tony you so desperate for pussy you will beat the drum for Claire McCaskill all the time?
ReplyDelete8:35 how about assholes like you shut the fuck up as well.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the bigots don't want a stand down.
ReplyDeleteChief Forte gives all clear after Union Station swept for explosive device
ReplyDeleteFoist!
Don't give Mean Jean any credit for this. Her office HAD to charge this monstrous asshole because it would look bad to let him go "pending further investigation." You can't hold someone without a warrant. But don't expect the public to understand this "nuance."
ReplyDeleteMcCaskill is about to become a part of the minority party in the Senate and all of her pandering to the Ferguson crowd will be for naught.
ReplyDeleteThen she;ll run for governor and lose and disappear from sight.
She is really weak in the state and no one can be so lucky as to draw an opponent like Aiken every time.
Just like Mean Jean: No political futures for either of them.
Bomb threat called into Union Station, no device found
ReplyDeleteNo injuries reported 9 News
CKMO is apparently going full Loco
Politics is hard.
ReplyDeleteAnd pimpin' ain't easy!!
ReplyDeleteLike the Zombie Pimp said, "where's my Kissinger?"

ReplyDeleteSecretaries of State Dedicate a New Museum of Diplomacy: A Memorial to Criminals; Sociopaths; and Incompetent Liars!
Congratulations America! Once Again We Glorify our Failures and Laud Our Miscreants.
Just when I thought I could finally take a respite from the “Theater of The Absurd”—a constant parade of inane wars; staged beheadings; and hysterical cries of inanity----then Secretary of State John, “I-love-myself” Kerry, takes a day off from his hectic schedule of foreign policy ineptitude in order to dedicate a Museum to Diplomacy. I am completely dumbfounded!
At a time when our country is weaving and whirling around the world, like a drunken sailor on shore leave; waiting for nothing and everything to befall our great nation-- five more Secretary of States show up and ham it up for the cameras. What in God’s name are Henry Kissinger; James Baker; Madeleine Albright; Colin Powell ; and last but not least, the UBIQUITOUS Hillary Clinton all doing shoveling ‘dirt’ for a new museum on diplomacy? When the Republic is falling apart, the only residue of it’s collective accomplishment is one more memorial to its self-destruction, to the tune of $50M!
How can I say such a thing?
Let’s begin with my ex-boss, (whom you know I refused to work with) the 91 year old War Criminal Henry ‘call me doctor’ Kissinger. What can I say about a liar and a coward who allowed thousands of our men and women to die in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia that has not already been said? The Republic did nothing to prosecute this man who singlehandedly created the Khmer Rouge with his incessant bombing of ‘neutral’ Cambodia and then lied his way through history. Don’t worry about his new book on the “New World Order”—it’s the only thing that Henry does well, parrots the Old Teutonic Myths of Bismarck’s and Metternich’s nonsensical “Real Politik”. It’s just the same “old crap”, just packaged by some pathetic publisher.
Next in line: Colin Powell. Now here is the affirmative action disaster of the first order with a military record short of being fictitious, he skyrocketed his way up the ‘greasy pole of politics’ through lies, incompetence and being ‘the House Nigger’ as Harry Belafonte called him. All we Americans have to recall is how Colin brazenly lied in front of the whole world when he swore that he had Anthrax in the small bottle he was holding while he was attending the United Nations session. What more can we say for a falsely decorated military officer who desecrated his oath to his country that gave him so many opportunities.
Next we go to Condolezza Rice a master of the lie, stand-down, and ‘false flag’. She did not attend the “shoveling” ceremony but my past comments about this incompetent who was Bush’s backdoor girl in war crimes and lying to the American public remains germane to this post.
What about Madeleine Albright? Surely I can say something good about her? She was a nonentity who forgot her heritage as a Jewess and accomplished absolutely nothing. However, she did write a lot books that no one read, with exception of Read My Pins (next gig QVC). She was and is an ‘irrelevant’ aberration of history.
Next we have the indomitable Hillary Clinton. I will give her a break, this woman has been dissected beyond the realm of any frog splayed out with pins in the high school biology class. Clearly, she is, was, and will be a liar cum laude. She also has the distinction of being associated with dead bodies and imminent murders and, of course, Benghazi. What did she accomplish as Secretary of State?
ReplyDeleteFour dead Americans and bonus miles for traveling to 122 countries on tax payers money.
Schultz, another absent member, should remain invisible. History will show that despite his tireless efforts to burnish his non-existent accomplishments, he has really done nothing other than buy his way into the hallway of the United States Institute of Peace where the hallway is literally named after him. So step gently on that walkway for he is far more fragile than you would imagine.
Last but not least, James Baker. As most of you know, I worked for him and have lauded him for the work that was accomplished on the 1991 Paris Peace Conference on Cambodia. What he will say about his achievements are still a mystery to me.
Who was not there?
Secretaries of State Cyrus Vance and Warren Christopher, two of the more honorable men who were modest enough not to have said very much about their past accomplishments, were not there because they are dead.
Why is this narcissistic strip tease of sociopathy so virulent to our American tradition of valor, honest, and good deeds?
The most important people were not present. I am speaking about thousands of brave men, women and Foreign Service families who spent years in distant locations like Ulan Bator, Mongolia and Harbin, China, and Homs, Syria. They reported the imminent dangers and cautioned those who would not listen to their advice that ‘war’ and ‘conflict’ would not resolve the cultural, economic and psychological problems indigenous to their area of expertise. How many times did the aforementioned Secretary of States dismiss the NIACT Cables [Night Action] warning of impending danger. How many FSOs died in the course of their world-wide duties?
This nonsensical show of the stooges digging up dirt is nothing short of a major insult to our brave FSOs all over the world. Not one person amidst that group of political sociopaths was, is or may ever be a Foreign Service Officer.
Why didn’t Bill Clinton pick the Honorable Ambassador Frank Wisner for Sec State? Instead he chose a political nobody—Albright.
Why did Obama chose a slippery eel like Hillary when he could have picked Ambassador Mark Grossman, William Burns, both career FSOs?
Why didn’t Bush Jr pick General Brent Scowcroft, a true war hero and National Security expert, instead of the phony, political general Colin Powell?
Until the FSOs stand up for their right to be represented by one of their own professionals, the entire field of foreign diplomacy will be dominated by political cronies, hacks and incompetents. These political lackeys, past and present, who claim the mantle of Secretary of State simply act as clowns on a stage “aping” what is euphemistically called diplomacy. Let’s get it right before its too late and please no more million dollar memorials to lies. Build a new school or a bridge instead, put your name on it if you have to but make it something useful to future generations.

ReplyDeleteThe Whys Behind the Ukraine Crisis

Damn, white people are fucking crazy!
ReplyDeleteUm, nobody gives a shit about International politics, it's nothing more than mental masterbation by way of frenchman.
ReplyDeleteI know?
ReplyDeleteThis connection we have here is not healthy in order for a nation to form it's own identity.
ReplyDelete75% of the farms in the world are now owned by a few rich people. Anyone care to mention names?
ReplyDeleteBigots got nothing else to do.
ReplyDeleteKlan rally tickets were a bust.
10:20 PM....I guess to your Negro mind White people fed up with feral negro animal under reported violent crime against white people because they are white in epidemic proportions and the Negro AG and Pres will do nothing about it does seem a bit crazy.
ReplyDeleteEven crazier is an able bodied Negro that lives off all the multiple welfare programs provided by the hard work of whites and then this shiftless Negro robs, assaults, rapes and murders whites.
Kinda crazy don't ya think that the black dog bites the white hand that feeds him.
"Swedish meatball" should be street slang for some highly innovative non-mainstream sexual practice. It's one of those expressions that just make you smirk, know what I mean?
ReplyDeleteGeorge Carlin said that Colin Powell was openly white.
ReplyDeleteThe only one of those that should be on there is Kath. Maybe the people who booed Sly go along with Rhenish bid. Hopefully people will wise up and vote thus bunch out. Mist of them have or will go on to other more lucrative gigs though. Isn't that what city gov has become - a stepping stone where you fuck over the taxpayers to make nice with corporations, the rich and entrenched grifters to get a better, cushier gig?
ReplyDeleteOh and I'd vote for Tony's hair and new power look. Next up - a suit but no tie.
