Mayor Q Lives for Perks, DOGE Meets Resistance, Chiefs Go for 9th Straight, KU/MU Showdown Sunday, Lee Sterling PIcks, Song of Week

   Mayor Q's idol, Barack Obama, would be so proud of all the slimy little grifts going on with our wanna be celebrity mayor.  Nothing illegal here as The Independent chronicles how our mayor flies to Europe and goes to Super Bowls with it breaking the "ban on gifts" rules.  And while it's juicy reading, it's the part we don't know that would really get this mayor in big trouble.
   The DOGE warriors met with lawmakers in DC and several conservative members left the meetings optimistic about what they can do through executive order but believe Congress won't go along with almost anything else.
   The Chiefs go for AFC West title number 9 in a row Sunday night against the Chargers.  We have the full preview.  KU and MU lace 'em up Sunday in Columbia and www.dannyclinkscale.com has some thoughts on what it will look like.  Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has our weekly picks and I didn't even tell him about the sweet surprise today.... our Song of the Week is Lee's daughter Brooke singing the Star Spangled Banner before a Chicago Bears game.  This pod has it all.

Will Biden Pardon Himself, College Enrollment Plummets, Billy Long is MO, Jays Take KU, Chiefs Tackle Ready, MU/KSU FB Recruiting Hauls, Remembering Al Fitzmorris

   As reports surface Joe Biden is likely to pardon people like Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff for goodness knows what, everyone is not asking if Biden will actually pardon himself for anything he may have done, specifically as Senator and VP
  College enrollment is falling dramatically and smaller schools are closing everywhere.  This is not a trend.  This is permanent as too many young people were going to college for the parties and not much more.  Now, it's just too expensive and divisive.
   Billy Long is picked by Trump to be IRS Commissioner and he's about as "show me" Missouri as anyone I've ever met.
   Creighton shuts down Hunter Dickinson and KU gets impatient on offense falling to the Jays 76-63.  Yes, even an old, experienced group of players have to learn how to play together each new year and KU learned a lot in this loss.
   The Chiefs are ready to play new left tackle DJ Humphries, the question is..... how much?
   Mizzou and KSU have excellent days signing college football players and Kansas did OK.  We've got a quick wrap.
   And we remember Royals pitcher Al Fitzmorris who has died at the age of 78 after battling cancer.

CFP Feels Dirty, MU Sets Table, Chiefs Question Fans, Hegseth on Ropes, Miller Goes Hard, KC Watch Maker Holds Show

   We are just days away from the College Football Playoff bracket to be revealed and what was revealed before the conference title games looks like the whole thing is a setup for the SEC and B10.  Go figure.  Complain all you want but the best team will NOT be left out of a 12 team playoff.
   Mizzou storms back from 16 down at the half to beat Cal in college basketball, setting the table for the big KU game on Sunday.  The Hawks have a final tuneup tonight at struggling Creighton.
   The Chiefs begin the process of asking season ticket holders about their preference for a new stadium, this will be interesting.
  Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, is on the ropes.  You won't believe who may replace him.  Trump's Oval Office right hand man, Stephen Miller, unloads on exactly what's about to happen on Day One.
   And you'll meet Steve Laughlin of www.ravenwatches.com.  He literally designs and makes watches right here in KC and if you love time pieces like I do, you want to know about the FREE watch show he's hosting on Saturday afternoon.
  Then, Tiger Woods' words are our Final Final.

Two Trumps Equal One Boss, Dems Lying About Lying, Delaware Targets Elon, Bobby Witt the 3rd, Chiefs LT Woes, MU/KU Week, Ted Lasso Unknown

   Two Trump stories emerged Monday and his brilliance as the boss was on full display.  One moment, a stern and serious Trump threatens all out war if his conditions are not met and the other is a joking comment to Canada's Prime Minister that reminded our friend north of the border that it's Trump's way or the highway.  This man is something else.
   Outraged dems must be lying when they say they can't believe Joe Biden pardoned his son.  What, exactly is going on here? And is Hunter getting away with not paying his debts the last ten years?  The people he owes sure want to know.
   A Delaware judge is using her court to go after Elon Musk.  It's all political but its a whopping $100 billion we are talking about.
   Bobby Witt Jr wins his 3rd consecutive Player of the Year for the Royals.  The Chiefs aren't tipping their plan at left tackle to help Patrick Mahomes.  MU and KU have big tuneup games before they meet in Columbia Saturday and Ted Lasso walked into the KU locker room and the star of the game didn't know who he was.
 

Pardon Us Joe, Hunter Never in Doubt, Patel Pick Rocks DC, Chiefs Clock Ticking, Brady Cook's Special Finale, Mayor Q the Movie Star, Ellen's Bad Move

   Pardon us Joe Biden but we all expected you were lying to us and would let your son completely off the hook.  The crazy part is this predictable move won't hurt his presidency at all as history will always rate this train wreck down near the bottom.
   The Sunday evening pardon took Trump's pick for FBI Director Kash Patel right out of the headlines after a wild weekend that saw the DC establishment in total panic.
   The Chiefs have an ultimatum this week with 5 games to go and a wicked hard schedule.... get better or go home.
   Mizzou quarterback Brady Cook shines with one final game winning drive to cement his legacy in COMO as the Tigers finish the year 9-3.
   Well, what do you know... Mayor Q found his way into a cameo role in the Chiefs Love Story movie on Hallmark.  It's a movie that had a red carpet event with Andy Reid, actors and members of the Hunt family at Crown Center over the weekend... with no gun play.  Baby Steps, Mayor Q.
   And former comedian Ellen DeGeneres moved to England after Trump got elected and now she's dealing with Karma "soaking" in.

KU Toughness Stops Duke, Chiefs' Wharton Goes Viral, KC Streetcar Hires Security, Drunk Kamala Looks Fake, Biden Spending Billions

   There's never been a more Bill Self-like trademark win that KU's victory over Duke in Las Vegas Tuesday night.  They were tough and won with lockdown defense in the final 3:00 minutes.  Because, of course they did.  They have so much in common with the Chiefs in their ability to win games at the end.

    The new NIH Director is uncancelled, a former hockey player fights 6 drunk golfers at a restaurant in Scottsdale and Formula One racing makes an announcement that's really strange and vague.
