Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

    We hope you get a chance to check out Wednesday and Thursday morning on KCMO Talk Radio 710 as I fill in for the terrific Pete Mundo on his "Mundo in the Morning" show.  It airs from 6-10 AM and we've lined up Royals GM Dayton Moore, former Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer, long time tv meteorologist turned conservative politician Mike Thompson, former Congressman Kevin Yoder and many more.
  Joe Biden jumped the shark Tuesday saying requiring voter ID is the biggest threat to America since the Civil War.  When he reads that prompter, does he want to scratch his own head that somebody could write something so stupid?
  And we've got a clip from our Patron Podcast with Danny Clinkscale you have to hear.

   Salvador Perez did his part at MLB's Home Run Derby by setting a record for catchers with 28 bombs.  And Salvy was easily the second best of the night and might have won with a different format.  But noboy knows it because ESPN completely disrespected this great American.
   At the same time, ESPN and Stephen A. Smith are doing damage control over comments Steven A made about Angels star Shohei Ohtani.  Here's the problem... he's apologizing for speaking the truth.
   Democrat representatives in Texas have left the Capitol and fled to DC with beer, whisky and big smiles on their face.  51 of them deserted and now they can't take a vote in the house on the new voter ID law.  The Governor says he's arresting them when they return.
   And some new reported numbers from the CDC, if true, are shocking as last week there were reportedly more deaths from the vaccine, than there were from Covid.
 

   There's a slew of important baseball stories right now and none of them are about the 2021 Royals. That's good news for the team as they deflect attention away from this disastrous season.
   A former KU football players says he was harassed by teammates, had his car tampered with and had to call 911 as his teammates threatened his 15 year old brother.  The response from Les Miles and Jeff Long was to ship the young man home and give him over $50,000 to keep his mouth shut.  You have to hear this wild story.
   Queen Kamala is at it again... this time speaking about voter ID.  She's so out of touch, she thinks people that don't live in the city can't mail in vote with a copy of their ID because they don't have Kinko's.  Wow.
   And while Trump is giving a stemwinder at CPAC, talking about censorship by big tech, his speech is blocked by YouTube.

   Can you believe there is actually a "Billionaires Summit" this week at a retreat near a national park in Idaho?  $588 billion worth of billionaires are spending days together figuring out how to double their money, keep the IRS out of their hair and control politicians.  This is what it has come to and we have to fight back.
  The only way to stop the elite ruling class in the USA is to organize and rise up.  
   It was a big week for billionaires.  Billionaire Trump sued other billionaires and an incredible piece of journalism exposes owners of sports teams for the complete fraud they are committing against the IRS.  Billionaires don't just have money.... they have control of almost everything.

   We had to know the liberals in media were eventually going to drop "Delta" variant and switch to something scarier like Covid-21 and now they've done it.  NBC's Today show does a ridiculous piece about Tokyo, Springfield, Mo and New York City that shows their desperation to hang on to this man made tragedy.
   You may know the name Mandy Horvath.  She's the double amputee from Smithville, Mo that climbed a 19,000 foot mountain in Africa using just her arms.  It's an incredible story.  But as the great Paul Harvey used to ask... have you heard "the rest of the story?"  It's even more eye opening.
   Salvador Perez is the four seed in the 8 batter home run derby contest Monday and the first round matchups are out.  Salvy draws last year's champ.
   Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were partying it up in front of the cameras on the golf course in Lake Tahoe this week getting ready for the American Century Championship.  They are quite a sight.
   And so is the ceremony to present the Stanley Cup Trophy... I think it's the best in sports.

   One week into college players having  the ability to make money endorsing businesses and KU basketball is an early winner.  Three outstanding players have decided to make money by staying at KU and living the good life instead of going pro.  This is a huge win for Bill Self.
   Salvy does it again with his third walk of hit of the season, this might have been the most unlikely comeback of the year for KC.  
  Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat, signed a veto of the Republican tax cuts but was overridden by the House and Senate.  She screamed from a mountaintop that the state couldn't afford the new legislation, and she was wrong.  Big time wrong.  Now she wants credit for the huge surplus in her state.
   And a new tradition seems to have started in Utah because of the pandemic.  For the second year in a row, there was an actual buried treasure hunt for $10,000.  A 33 year old man found it after 17 days, this is a great story.

   Everywhere we went this holiday weekend, we were surrounded by upbeat, optimistic and positive people.  It's quite a contrast to when Trump was president and liberals were trying to blow up the world.  We just keep living and working and making America tick as we wait to vote again.  It's so comical, we just laugh this stuff off... like Joe Biden comparing himself to Ronald Reagan.  
   Liberal, woke ESPN is apparently not good enough for liberal reporter Rachel Nichols. She's caught on a hot mic describing here company as having a "crappy record on diversity."  And she's now apologized and ok... good thing she's not conservative or she'd be fired.
   And as the Royals continue to be dreadful, GM Dayton Moore says don't look at the players and coaches, blame me.  Ok, we'll analyze if he's correct and then look at Sporting KC and how they just continue to be a perfectly run sports franchise.

   It's Independence Day weekend and my favorite current ball player is a great American to celebrate.  Salvador Perez is an All Star for the 7th time, and by a mile, he's the best catcher in baseball.
   Patrick Mahomes, along with Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and other sports stars, has invested in a new live sports streaming app.  This app is different than the others and it sounds like a really good idea for sports fans.  We'll explain.
   The White House once again proves its tone deaf by trying to convince Americans your holiday cookout costs less this year and the Biden economic plan is working.  They think we are stupid, can't count and aren't paying attention.  Are they right?
   And while Congressman Jim Jordan is proving Dr. Fauci has lied to cover up for spending our tax dollars in a lab that leaked Covid, almost 60% of Americans say they are less free than before the pandemic.  Thanks, Dems.

   It reads like a bombshell but it seems like we all knew what's in Politico's hit piece on VP Kamala Harris.  Chaos in the office, in fighting, low morale and a total lack of leadership is the basic story.  Just like her campaign.  But this piece is no accident, we discuss who is behind it.
   President Trump says he has made up his mind on whether he's running for President again, it seems pretty obvious he is.   Trump is at the border blasting Biden and it sounds like he's a little over a year away from starting a new campaign.
   The activist athlete that turned her back on the flag during the Star Spangled Banner, and her team of handlers, has made a huge mistake.  They forgot to take down a photo on her website that proves this is all just a cash grab.  We'll tell you what's in the photo.
   Spin rates for pitchers are way down in MLB, but it isn't helping the Royals who've lost 8 in a row.  We've got the spin rate numbers for you.
   The PGA Tour is so embarrassed by booting Jon Rahm from a tourney he was going to win, because he tested positive for a virus, they've changed their rules for the better.

   As a Journalist, it breaks my heart the American media have become so dishonest and biased.  A new global study should serve as a wakeup call to all of us that the information available to you cannot be trusted and we should all be skeptical.  This is eye opening.
   More election chaos where the Dems are in control.... the latest is the disastrous primary for New York City mayor.  They've recalled 135,000 ballots because the idiots mixed in thousands of "test" ballots with actual votes.  The worst part is, nobody is surprised.
   MU Quarterback Connor Bazelak has gone to Twitter to troll for business to hire him to endorse their products, and why not?  The college free for all is about to start and it looks like quarterbacks are the first to cash in.
   And a new report suggests the NFL is on the cusp of a data explosion.  They've had an electronic "tag" in the ball for three years, now they want to tag all the players, refs, equipment and everything else.  We ask the question... do you want more data in football or do you want them to leave your favorite game alone?
