Springsteen Springs Leak, R's Title Weekend, KS Two Weeks from Deals, Mo Gaming Dec. 1, Song of Week

   My apologies in advance as I absolutely lose my mind over the once great Bruce Springsteen for turning his concert in England into a bash America revival.... before he plays a single note.  It's literally how he kicked off his tour and I'm really, really mad.
   We'll turn it into a Fun Friday as the Royals celebrate their World Series' wins this weekend.  
   The House Speaker in Kansas says they are two weeks away from announcing they have approved STAR bond contracts with the Royals and the Chiefs.  What exactly does that mean?
   Missouri sports betting is set to begin December 1 which is a total embarrassment.  What's wrong with September 1?
   And our Song of the Week reminds us of something Springsteen would have done.  It's by The Killers and it's words are haunting about a real problem in small town America that only Donald Trump can solve.   And everyone knows it.

Chiefs Schedule Excites, MO Stadium Hopes Fade, MU Football on Christian Mission with KKHI Sponsor

   Missouri's hopes of  passing a bill for the Royals and/or Chiefs are fading fast.  Is this lights out?
   And the Missouri Tigers football team is traveling on a Christian mission with www.wonbyonetojamaica.com and U.S. Operations Director Daniel Henks.  Daniel is a proud KKHI sponsor and owner of www.eeoutdoor.com who has dedicated years of service to Christian missions.   You will love this conversation with a truly outstanding member of our community.

  Then, a fabulous conversation with Kansas Citian Ryan Olah of www.freedomoneracing.com about their spectacular airborne crash at 216 mph in Arizona two weeks ago.  Millions have watched the viral video.

US-China Strike Trade Deal, Trump Whacks Big Pharma, Free Jet is Classic, Royals Can't Score, Larson Owns KS Speedway, Golf Champ Snobby Menu

   Again, Trump gets more done in one weekend than other presidents get done in a quarter.  We are slammed with important leads today explaining the 90 day trade agreement with China, Trump's plan to cut the cost of meds, and an American prisoner released from the middle.  And for the cherry on top, Trump is driving dems crazy because he's getting a new 747-8 for FREE!
   The Royals bats were awful again this weekend so we will have to be happy they only lost two out of three to the Red Sox.
   Kyle Larson wins at Kansas Speedway Sunday in the Advent Health 400 and it wasn't nearly as close this time.  And the defending champion of the PGA Championship this week has the snootiest champions dinner menu ever.  Count me out on rooting for this player.

Golden Age Pope, Trump is the Closer, Covid Money for Music, Royals Unstoppable, NASCAR Kansas Weekend, Saban to Save CFB, Song of Week

   This may truly be the new Golden Age of America as Trump claims it will be... for crying out loud, we even have the first American Pope!
   Meanwhile, Trump closes his first trade deal and the partner is the UK.  It's true, Trump's team negotiates the deal and then Trump gets on the phone and makes it better before closing it.  This is a great story.
   The Royals are apparently never losing another series again.  They just drill the White Sox 10-0 on Thursday and everything is going right.
  NASCAR takes center stage at Kansas Speedway this weekend where last year's spring race may have been the greatest of all time.

First Trade Deal Done, KC is "Mad Max Hell Hole", College Protesters Booted, BW Jr Does it Again, Jacque Vaughn Next at KU?, ESPN's New Channel

   The first trade deal is done as President Trump will share details of tariffs with the United Kingdom on Thursday.
   Street racing, break ins and unsafe restaurants in KC go global after local reporting from Fox 4 is picked up everywhere.  One European outlet refers to KC as a midwestern "Mad Max Hell Hole."  Ouch.
   Terrorist supporting protesters take over Columbia University's library in New York but they forgot Biden is gone.  They got locked in by the feds and had to show ID to get out.  It didn't go well as at least 70 went to jail and many of them will be deported.
   Bobby Witt Junior's two run homer is enough to beat the White Sox even though Charlie Sheen tried to give it away in the 9th.  The royals are scalding hot but a 9th inning change has to be coming.
   Rumors are swirling everywhere Jacque Vaughn could be Bill Self's new lead assistant.  If he is... this has to be at least a first step toward the KU great possibly taking over for Self when he retires.
  Isaiah Pacheco of the Chiefs gets his college degree, ESPN is announcing a new platform while parent company Disney is building a theme park in a country where being gay is illegal and Tyreek Hill chows down from his hospital bed.

Hot Royals Accept Gifts, KCUR Budget Bombshell, Alberta for 51st State, ICE Works Magic in Tenn, Bessent to Meet w/China, Mets Crazy Streak, NFL Sued by Fan

   The red hot royals are on such a roll... they are winning now even when they haven't earned it.  The White Sox gift one to the Royals, thank you very much.  This one was absolutely crazy.
   NPR affiliate KCUR in Kansas City is whining that Trump is cutting $500k from their annual budget but wait until you hear how little that is.  It's shocking.
   I'm starting to think Canada as the 51st state was just the opening salvo from Trump and he's got his eyes set on something else.  A conservative, oil rich province.
   ICE working with Tennessee State Troopers set up a roadblock this week and stopped 150 cars with illegal aliens, drugs, gang members and everything else you can imagine.  Dems are losing their minds over this.
  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announces he's meeting with China regarding trade rules.  It's happening this weekend in Switzerland.
    The New York Mets continue an outrageous streak and a Colorado Buffaloes fan is suing the NFL over Shedeur Sanders draft position.

   That lottery winner that got arrested in Florida gets another plot twist as he violated his parole... and... wait for it: His girlfriend got into a fight too.  This just gets stranger.
   Trump's scoring one win after another and announces he's building a fancy ballroom at the White House.  Don't worry... he's paying for it.  I think I know why.
   The Royals toss their 5th shutout in the last 10 games... pretty hard to lose when the other guys don't score.  They also did something really nice before the game.
   Bill Self has an opportunity to change a few things this year with one hire and a pitcher at Kauffman Stadium last night has an amazing story to find his way to the mound.
