  2. Aja Morris is a fool and a racist. This is the very thing BLM is burning down cities for and trying to blame whitey for it. This is racism. Her comment about empowering the black community is a clear call of racism and anyone with half a brain can see that. I have seen the black community run white people out with their racism and violence even changing a school to an all black school kicking white people out. This women is a moron and is in denial of where the problem really is. Black people today have had the same opportunity if not more due to affirmative action. She is fighting a losing battle because the eastside does not want to work and does not want to get along in society nor do they have the social skills to do so. They have wanted to stay uneducated and they will not change. It's people like this that will keep the racism going instead of working together on issues they riot about. Black people voted for LBJ and still are, that is why they refuse to leave the plantation.

  3. Instead of giving Clark Hunt and the Chiefs $250 million in taxpayer funds, KCMO should purchase a couple of bulldozers and attempt to raze two vacant houses a day on the east side to eliminate their potential to become drug houses and other avenues of crime.

    Create a dedicated team to systematically go street by street and tear down the dangerous vacant houses.

    Create green space and eliminate blight in east side neighborhoods would help the East side of KCMO tremendously. The neighborhood residents would fully support such an initiative.

    However, that would require common sense.

  4. Generational wealth in East Side is Escalades with hoopty rims, the latest iPhone, weaves, Nikes and AK-47s with extended clips. Have fun on that fool's errand! Money raised will be misspent or embezzled.

  12. “Ajia Morris is dedicated to building up Kansas City’s eastside. She’s the co-founder of The Greenline Initiative and works to increase Black generational wealth through home ownership.”

    Don’t they already own the houses they great Grammie left? Besides, any white people that move in the hood and improve their house get run out because.... the racist blacks that’s why.

    The only way to improve black neighborhoods is for white people to move there, move the blacks out into section ape housing near downtown and let whitey take back what was once theirs and fix it. It is the only way.

  13. Will people like Ajia ever learn that the dimwit party is the reason for all their problems?

  22. Johnson Clinton Trump10/15/20, 11:44 AM

    Hilarious that Giuliani is now "in the loop" on the "proofs" regarding Hunter Biden.

    Let's summarize...
    1) As of yesterday, the owner of a Computer Repair store, who happens to be an avid Trump Supporter and very active on-line Conspiracy Theorist, had a water damaged laptop computer that was dropped off at his store some time ago by an unknown person. The Repairman discovered several fragmentary e-mails on the hard drive and sent copies of them to Steve Bannon. The Repairman did not know who had dropped off the laptop, and could no longer find the hard drive, or the copies he had made of the fragmentary e-mails, which contained several errors as to dates and persons involved.

    2) Now, today, the Repairman (same guy) says that Hunter Biden dropped off THREE laptops for repair, and that he copied the hard drive of one and sent that copy to a lawyer associated with Rudy Giuliani, but that he, (the Repairman) has a "medical condition" that prevents him from knowing whether Hunter Biden was in fact the person who dropped off the laptop. The Repairman also claims to have contacted the FBI about the laptop, and now says that the FBI sent "someone" to his store to "pick it up". Amazingly, the e-mails "retrieved" from the laptop are no longer fragmentary, but instead are quite detailed, covering conversations with Russian and Ukrainian Officials and Hunter Biden in great detail.

    It's been a while since I was a young Farm Boy, but I can still recognize what's left in the pasture after the Bull has returned to the Barn.

  23. Barrett has been caught lying, again. Non-answers are not clever answers, non-answers are a form of lying. Her positions are well known, & it is a lie to suggest otherwise.

Remember when Guiliani was the "Mayor of the World" after 9/11? I mean, that fucking guy helped take down the mafia....what the fuck happened to him? He's literally turned into everyone's weird uncle that you avoid at family gatherings.

  31. 12:04 nailed it. Fine, it's a rubber stamp process anyway. Pack it up but I don't want to hear any pissing and moaning after Biden decides to expand. if the shoe was the on the other foot, Republicans would do that same.

  38. Kamala is currently testing negative. Out of an abundance of caution and respect for fellow Americans, she's not potentially spreading the disease like her Republican counterparts.

    Both Harris and Biden tweeted out well wishes for a quick recovery to the POTUS and first lady, so not sure what your old busted ass is talking about regarding sympathy.

    Speaking of stuck in a hole, do you dumbasses really think Trump is reaching one single new vote with his vanity rallies? You know he does those because he needs the attention as a narcissist?
