Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

There are two meetings today to move forward on the Royals building a new stadium at Crown Center and we are getting a lot more details of what that district will look like by 2030. The Parks and Rec board will vote to give the city manager authority to negotiate a lease with the team while the City Council meets to set up a schedule to move forward to approval of $600 million. It's feeling like go time! Kansas governor Laura (Karen) Kelly used her veto 25 times this legislative session but the good news is a whole bunch of them were overridden by a supermajority. Good news... the protests at public schools are about to go away as we've known them. Eric Swalwell's fall from grace has been years in the making, but, holy smokes is this getting ugly. There's video everywhere... so much so it's like watching Hunter Biden all over again. After Trump blocked the shipping ports in Iran, ships all over the world are headed to the Gulf of America. It's incredible. At least 125 empty ships are headed here to fill up 2 million barrels ON EACH SHIP. Yes, that's $200 million worth of oil we are selling to 120 more ships. When I saw the photo of the charred and pretty much destroyed Orion capsule our astronauts returned home in, I only asked one question. You may be asking the same thing. Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice posts the most hilarious post in Chiefs history as he suggests he will be looking for a new contract that pays him like he's the number one receiver in the NFL. This dude has issues. FIFA is working another bait and switch on tickets and Arrowhead and nobody can do anything about it. Governor Kehoe is sending the National Guard and State Troopers to KC for the World Cup and I missed quite a chance to buy a piece of expensive memorabilia for a song a decade ago.

Mayor Quintin Lucas says Kansas City has $600 million to build the Royals a new stadium at Crown Center and couldn't wait to share the news. But he did wait until after he won an earnings tax vote on Tuesday. This is politics and its best or worst depending on how you look at it. Now, the governor is on the clock. Jeff City offered the Chiefs and/or Royals 50% of a new stadium if a city or county stepped up with support. Get this... the "stupid" or "clueless" Royals as critics have called them will get WAY more than Kansas offered if Missouri kicks in 50%. It will be the greatest deal any baseball team has ever had. 82 percent for free. The DOJ is misguided going after the NFL for its tv contract and I will prove it in less than a minute. At the K, watching the Royals bat makes you want to watch CNN... Rory soars at the Masters in round one and gives a spectacular quote right after. The coach/reporter scandal in the NFL grows and we learned when Travis and Taylor are getting married.

A two week ceasefire is on with Iran as long as there is a complete, safe opening for the flow of oil out of the Persian Gulf. This may work, this may not but President Trump says almost all USA demands have been met as they try to finalize an agreement. If not, well, the US gets two weeks to re-supply and start pounding again. KC residents love paying tax as over 75% vote yes to keep paying. Just, wow. JD Vance's Fraud Force is off to a great start, CBS News reports America is most certainly getting richer and provides the stats about a wildly growing Upper Middle Class. You have to hear this. In sports, the Royals can't hit. The Masters field is set and Gary Woodland's group is the one I'd be following on Thursday. A high profile NFL coach is caught up in the tabloids photographed as a private lover's retreat in Sedona, Arizona. The number one pick in the upcoming draft makes a great decision. A tik tok influencer just crushes the Mahomes/Kelce restaurant 1587 as the worst upscale dining experience of all time and over a million people have watched it. And a very old country star with a really famous, funny song is doing well after falling and breaking his neck.

We cannot take all these stellar military operations for granted and the latest is just as crazy and brilliant and perfect as it gets. Some 200 service members worked an unbelievable plan of deception hundreds of miles inside Iran to get the missing American weapons officer that was shot down with the pilot. This was risky, could have backfired in a huge way but is a prime example of American Exceptionalism... no soldier left behind. Goose Bumps. Marco Rubio revoked the green cards of dead Iranian terror mastermind Solemeni's niece and her mom. Then the US arrested them both in California. They were living a luxurious life in America, "the great satan" but now they live in a jail cell waiting to be deported. The Royals fall short Sunday and lose two of three to the Brewers. Bubic had a rough start, the pen failed again and the Royals blew ball/strike challenges that may have cost them the game. Not a good look. Oh, and 9 games in, Bobby Witt Jr doesn't have an extra base hit yet. Impossible. One outfielder saved three home runs in one game this weekend, a million to one chance. The Nationals celebrated the 21st birthday of their stadium in a fun way before first pitch and we have a second wedding upcoming for KC's Billionaire class.

Bill Self announces he's coming back for at least one year and most Kansas fans are thrilled. It's also a boost in the recruitment of the top player in America. We are pretty sure the family and doctors are ok with this so why not everyone else? This got complicated with the succession plan but they've at the very least bought some time to figure it all out. President Trump says operations in Iran will be over in 2-3 weeks and gas prices will go down almost immediately. NASA is back in the moon business and it was glorious to watch that rocket launch. The question is why are we doing this? Bruce Springsteen's bash America tour is getting worse and worse. If he cares so much about Iran, why doesn't he have concerts there? The Royals are in first place but made some bad history Wednesday in a win over the Twins. Oh, there was a lot of good things. But the one bad thing was epically awful. Pete Grathoff of the Star interviewed announcer Rex Hudler who says he'll be part of the broadcast Saturday in Milwaukee and do 1/3 of the games this year. This is an odd story and there's something going on nobody is talking about. Tiger is leaving the country for his substance abuse treatment, an NFL star is in rehab and the Blue Springs Eagle cam is getting more fun by the day.
