Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   A Jackson County, Mo judge has put a 30 day halt on Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas' attempt to take over $43 million of police budget previously run by the state.   Q vows to fight the state all the way to the Supreme Court so he must not be too confident he will get to control this money.
   President Biden goes to Tulsa to remind us about how awful our ancestors were and winds up bungling the whole thing in a confusing word salad that felt out of touch and from the wrong generation.
   Andrew Benintendi hits a grand slam as the red hot Royals keep rolling.  Benny is so good we almost feel guilty nobody remembers Alex Gordon is retired.
   And Vegas has released odds on which teams have the best chance of winning the Big 12 in football.

   Everywhere Patrick Mahomes goes, he makes news.  The latest?  Mahomes says he would love it if Aaron Rodgers got traded to Denver and played the Chiefs twice a year.
   Adelberto Mondesi has had a great first week, now he's got to stay healthy.  Mondesi plays with the ease, swagger and confidence of a bat swinging Patrick Mahomes.
   We hate that NBA fans are acting badly but continuing to insult them won't fix it.  If the NBA is serious about cleaning this up, it starts with them realizing their players provoked it.
   And we all need solid reminders from Joe Biden on how awful America is.  June 1, it will be epic as Joe gets to pull out the old bread and butter play from the playbook.

   Memorial Day should be a day all Americans can pull together on common ground, honoring our fallen soldiers.  We explore the origins and history of this great day that is much more than the unofficial start of summer.
   Mayor Q had a bad week, can you believe it?  So many citizens are livid he's defunding the police and he's having a bad time with local media that are honest.  Plus, the St. Louis mayor got more attention than Q.  Poor guy.
   There is a free for all to replace Rush Limbaugh in the 11-2 syndicated radio time slot.  Dan Bongino has already gobbled up all the big markets.  Other markets are putting on local shows.  And now Clay Travis and Buck Henry are supposed to replace Rush on hundreds of stations?  That's comical.
   Patrick Mahomes skipped practice for a golf tournament... ok.  Hey, the only thing that matters is what Andy said after the first week of OTA's and that's that Mahomes was a "full go" when he was there.  Boom!
  And the Royals open an important series against the surging Twins this weekend.  Is Kris Bubic the ace?  He gets  a big assignment in game one.
 

   Patrick Mahomes is everywhere... and that's ok.  It used to be so important for the Chiefs starting quarterback to be at the facility, working harder than everyone and showing the way toward teamwork.  But Mahomes is so special, he gets to make his own rules and no teammate would ever think twice.
   Alex Smith is speaking out about the Aaron Rodgers/Packers situation.  This is pretty rare as Alex rarely has an opinion.  But the gloves are off on this one.
   The NBA is dealing with several fan and player incidents right now but that's not the only place.  Rain delays, airline flights and street corners are also places people are acting crazy.  What's going on here?
   And almost every day now another prominent Dem is speaking out against the party going to far left with "wokeness."  They seem to know they have big trouble ahead.

   Phil Mickelson dunked all over Lebron James Sunday with a tv audience bigger than the man former known as King James... who was playing in the playoffs.  It's time to re-think niche sports.
   Adelberto Mondesi is back with a bang and Brad Keller is back from the dead.  Put those two together and the Royals get their best win of the season Tuesday night in Tampa.  It's all good news for KC as they are back to .500.
   The Mike Tyson documentary on ABC is addictive viewing, just sensational journalism and filmmaking.  So Why can't we do this with fair and honest documentaries about, let's say, Clinton, Obama or Trump.  I'd watch.
   And Joe Biden is so good, his spox Jen Psaki says she can't keep up with him some days.  At half Biden's age, I'd say Psaki needs to get to a doctor immediately.
 

   The tired old narrative of racism in America is taking a beating as real racism takes over the headlines.  People waving Palestinian flags are beating up Jews while the number one hate crime category continues to be black on Asian violence.  Defunding the police, closing prisons and opening the borders don't seem to be helping much.
   The GM of the Boston Red Sox that traded away Andrew Benintendi is taking some heat from the media, and he should.  Benny is on fire while Franchy Cordero is hitting .179.  As the Royals get ready to open a series at Tampa against a red hot team they almost never beat, it may be Benintendi they need the most.
  Phil Mickelson's mom fired off a series of tweets to Phil's sister during the PGA Sunday asking her to text Phil while he was playing. "Don't hit bombs," she implored... just make pars.  You gotta hear this story.
   And McDonald's, like so many others is trying to hire good people.  The private sector always figures out a way as this company is luring in applicants with something better than money.

   To find the big stories today, you have to look at stories being buried by the left.  Two such stories happened this weekend as Dr. Anthony Fauci admits the virus is man made from a lab and he funded the work in China.  At same time, he still says Rand Paul is a dangerous liar.  The only danger is burying the truth in America.
   In England, a very well known 27 year old BLM leader, Sasha Johnson, is shot in the head at 3:00am near a party.  She's been organizing a new "black led political party" and there are theories all over the place why this happened but nobody knows yet.  Still, if a black party is built in England, you can bet one is coming to America.  This is a really big deal.
   The Conservative crowd at the PGA Championship went wild Sunday for several reasons... including being locked up for a year by the woke left.  I think it's just the beginning of the new normal being wild crowds all over America at sporting events and concerts.
   And if you ever wondered why NASCAR doesn't race in the rain, we found out after a slew of crashed on a wet road course in Texas.  Drivers are livid.
 

   History is made at the PGA Championship as 50 year old Phil Mickelson becomes the oldest player ever to win a major championship.  It was epic, he's a legend and its not every day you watch a sporting event you will never forget.  This is as good as it gets in sports.
   The fans lost all control at the PGA and it seemed to me this is a glimpse of things to come, post covid.  It's obvious there was a lot of pent up frustration in a crowd that was probably 80 percent Republicans.
   And the Royals get outplayed all day before one big swing by Carlos Santana in the bottom of the ninth end it in walk off fashion.  Special Sunday indeed.

   If you appreciate great politicians, you have to admire the brilliance of Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas.  At just 36, he has his sights set on the Senate and of course, the White House.  He's so good he can defund the police in secrecy in just two hours with a Council vote and then turn around and go on Fox News and convince some Republicans he didn't defund the police and he stands for local and smaller government.  Some people are mad, but most people just buy what he's selling.
   Patrick Mahomes wants a chip in the ball to decide touchdowns when it crosses the goal line.  Did you know there is already a chip on the ball?  We tell you why it's in there and discuss if PM2's goal line idea is a good one.
   The Royals and Tigers are both on winning streaks as a three game set begins at the K.  The Royals are doing it with a a better bullpen, the Tigers got a no hitter this week.  And Adelberto Mondesi is close to returning... what are we waiting for?
   And Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw says 6 no hitters so far this year is bad for baseball and makes a great case why.

   The suddenly surging Kansas City Royals have bounced back from an 11 game losing streak by beating some of the top starting pitchers in baseball.  The Royals have won by winning the last three innings of the game.  Sound familiar?  It should, and it's become obvious now which Royals player is the biggest key to 2021 and beyond.
   Former Royal Lorenzo Cain is one of my favorite players ever but, wow, is he wrong about instant replay.  He lashed out in the media, just like Royals manager Mike Matheny did Sunday, and they are both way off base.
   GOP house intel reps are calling for a real investigation into how the Covid virus got out of a lab in China and our lives could literally depend on whether we figure this out, or ignore it all for political reasons.
   And Joe Biden tried to steal a line from Ronald Reagan at the Coast Guard graduation ceremony.  It wasn't enough that he botched it, then he insulted the grads.  Biden is a mess, I will  play the clip from Reagan in 1988 and Biden today.  It's embarrassing.
