Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   During an interview with an Iowa radio host, President Trump said it would be "dangerous" if the DOJ jailed him for any period of time as they are going after him for anything and everything.  I'm guessing the left will believe he's calling for violence.
   Chicken McNuggets, as mysterious as they are, don't cost much and are tasty.  But how about an $800,000 nugg?  It happened.
   Shark Week starts Sunday night and I can't wait to see an episode called Cocaine Sharks.  Yup, they believe some drug drops of the coast of Florida are being gobbled up by Great Whites.  Oh my.
   The Open Championship has been fun to watch except the ridiculous bunkers on day one.  So they already changed them for the rest of the tourney and apologized.
   Who know Patrick Mahomes was afraid of bees?  And most of us shower daily but "experts" say we shouldn't.  

   Country singer Jason Aldean's song and video "Try That in a Small Town" is a classic example of a growing movement in America that can be described as conservative blowback.  It's working, it's growing and it's here to stay.  We have a handful of great examples of how we are taking back the narrative in this country. 
   Who knew Patrick Mahomes had a thrifty side?  We see the trips, the house, the cars and the clothes... but now we know he loves to bargain shop.
   Didn't believe me about Taylor Swift indoctrinating young girls to not only be Swifties but be lefties?  Well, the new Barbie movie has seen how Swift has cashed in on this and is an exact copy.  Wait until you hear about a female movie reviewer that calls this movie, "man hating."
   The city of Lawrence council has unanimously voted to declare the town a "transgender sanctuary city," whatever that is.  You have to hear this.
   And stay to the end for the best quote you've ever head about Donald Trump.  Actor Jim Caviezel watched his film "The Sound of Freedom" with Trump at his New Jersey club Wednesday night and says the former prez is the only person that can stop all this child sex trafficking.  You have to hear this quote.

   With the latest possible charges against Donald Trump, it's now up to a comical 770 years in jail he could potentially face.  We have to be a laughing stock to the world at this point.
   Missouri Congressman Mark Alford's support for the war in Ukraine is fading fast as he says the next $1.3 billion Biden is sending goes against the will of Congress.  Hey, let's vote to stop this.
   Chiefs coach Andy Reid is the star of day 1 of Chiefs camp and we've got the details why. 
   The Commonwealth of Victoria has pulled out as host of the Commonwealth Games in 2026 for the same reason KC should consider dumping the World Cup.  They can't afford it and it doesn't really benefit the city of Melbourne.
   The Open Championship is set to begin at Royal Liverpool with big tributes to the Beatles and a new, high loft sand wedge I've never seen before.  We'll preview the players to beat.

    Chiefs rookies are reporting to camp in St. Joseph, Mo today and as a podcaster in America's football mecca, it's a great time to share my thoughts of what I'm excited about and concerned about.   Thankfully, this long, silly, overplayed off season is over.  Let's talk about the teams on the field!
  ESPN baseball reporter Jeff Passan has lived in KC forever and is widely regarded as a standout in the industry.  After the big storms last Friday, Passan was cleaning up in his yard when a big tree crushed him and broke his back.  It was unlucky for sure, but  it could have been worse as this was a really big tree.
   KU's new stud center Hunter Dickinson isn't just a great player, he's a great interview and has already been bold in talking about how much better he likes Kansans than Michiganders.
   The White House stonewalls on cocaine and the economy and Josh Hawley slams the European company that owns Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis. 

   It's hard to get worked up about a baseball team 40 games under .500 but Sunday was a tipping point for me when Manager Q left Brady Singer out to dry yet again.  Making him pitch until he gets rocked is driving Singer's arbitration and free agency value down and they are doing it in plain sight. 
   The celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe was all things to all people.  You had Mahomes/Kelce/Allen drinking their way to some of the worst scores on the board while Stephen Curry was hitting a hole in one and then making eagle on the last hole to win.  Great stuff.
   According to reports, free agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is heading the the Tennessee Titans on a two year deal.  It's obviously an offer he doesn't think the Chiefs can match.
   Wokesters are going after Andrew Jackson statues in Jackson County, Missouri.  But wait until you hear why they think the can keep the county named Jackson.
   And Tucker Carlson was the host at  a Blaze TV summit of presidential candidates Friday and essentially ended the campaigns of Mike Pence, Nikki Haley and Asa Hutchinson as he debated them on their weakest positions.

   The Secret Service says they can't find the owner of cocaine left at the White House and let us all know they also had a couple findings of marijuana last year, too.  After spending a couple hours around a large group of law enforcement pros on Thursday, I refuse to believe the Secret Service is inept.  This is far worse. 
     A mad dad goes viral after his 9 year old son is asked by a doctor what his gender is.  Millions have viewed this and its powerful... but it's missing something vitally important.
   We saw Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning last night and you're going to love it for two reasons.  Tom Cruise is clearly pissed over government control as they filmed this during covid and his incredible co-star is from KC. 
   The only thing worse than Bidenflation is Chiefsflation.  Yup, going to a Chiefs game has increased by wicked percentages since they became the best team in the NFL.  Let's call this the cost of winning index.
   K-State players and coaches weren't as flashy as KU was at media days... but their words were about as brash as you can get.  They are positive they are going to be good.  But they are making themselves the hunted and that's a tough role to play.
   And Rory McIlroy makes the boldest comment yet about the golf merger between LIV and PGA Tour.
 

   A lot happened Wednesday at Big 12 Football Media Days but the clear star was pre season offensive player of the year Jalon Daniels.  The KU quarterback was all decked out including a necklace with a diamond studded monitor on it that plays a reel of his highlights.  Oh, boy is this a great topic. 
   KC approves it's first $15 million worth of bribe money to the most corrupt sports organization on the planet, FIFA, to get 6 soccer games to the cow town. 
   Still, KC has nothing on the scam going on with a new battery plant being built in Desoto.  Get this, it's a $4 billion plant and Panasonic is getting $8 billion of our tax dollars to build it.  What?
   Dem Senator Joe Manchin is freaking out his party as he's heading to New Hampshire to do a town hall event for a group called "No Labels" which says they have the ability to get a third party candidate for president on the ballot in all 50 states.
   Adam Schiff absolutely steps in a pile of poo while questioning the FBI directory and there are signs that Costco may be dropping Bud Light from its shelves.  Then, our Final Final is about the great Kenny Rogers.

   The All Star game was fun at times and some in game interviews were entertaining.  The NL finally won one of these things but everyone is talking about the uniforms the teams wore.  It looked like an epic fail to me.
   A handful of Chiefs are in headlines off the field this week, right before training camp starts.  Some good, some bad, but it's incredible how easy it is to make news if you're on this team.
   In Georgia, the football program believes it's a victim of a hit piece by the Atlanta Journal Constitution.  I'm not so sure they have a leg to stand on demanding a retraction and now a spotlight is on a mega program that looks out of control.
   Why is it a big deal that Joe Biden is meeting with Zelensky?  Seriously, what could actually happen when golf shirt guy meets with grumpy grandpa?  And didn't Trump get impeached for just calling Zelensky?  Wow, are we all messed up.
   A 48 year old black woman Democrat in Georgia says her party has left her and she's switched to GOP.  The interesting part is she's from Atlanta and trying to educate her voters that the Dems haven't helped them at all.
  And the mayor of St. Louis is in hot water after her texts were released through an open records act.  Seems she's not in favor of stricter gun laws at all.  Hey, can we take a peek into Mayor Q's phone and see what he's up to?

   The New York Post has published a story on Joe Biden quoting aides that say the old man has lost his cool.  It's titled "Old Yeller" and many that have worked in the Oval Office say the man screams and shouts obscenities constantly and is a mean old man.  
   I'm not much of an Amazon shopper but it's Prime Day and now other online sites are joining in to a $12 billion sale that is pure marketing genius.
   Swimmer Riley Gaines has heard enough of the attacks from soccer player Megan Rapinoe over men playing women's sports.  So Gaines has offered a deal.... she wants a full debate on the topic.
   The Chiefs super fan known as Chiefsaholic has been caught in California after skipping town following his arrest for bank robbery.  Now we have more details of the scam he was pulling off including area casinos.
   The Royals get risky with their early draft picks and Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald is fired after allegations of bizarre sexual hazing in his football program.

   We've all seen the record numbers of gun sales the past few years in America as our communities get more and more dangerous.   In our own ways, we are all seeking to feel safer and more secure and it's often highlighted by school safety.   Recently, we were made aware of a new product being used in area schools, and a growing number of districts nationwide, that could make all the difference in the world protecting kids and teachers.
   Former police officer Steve Johnson founded www.safehavendefense.com 5 years ago in response to a school shooting.  His story, and his quest to deter would-be killers, is an inspiring example of American ingenuity and drive.
