Commentary: RECALL KC-MO "Officials" Who Want to Take Away YOUR American Freedoms

Kansas City MO officials made a very- VERY grave error in trying to stop the statewide election of earnings taxes collected in KC and St. Louis.


Those officials- whether they KNOW what they're doing or not- are trying to take away basic American rights of petitioning it's government for changes and voting for those said changes.

And that move has angered many local citizens who tended to SUPPORT continuation of the earnings tax- including ME.


The election was brought about fair and square- citizens signed petitions and the State of Missouri checked those signatures- found the number of signers valid- and allowed the election to take place.

In one of the most incredibly BRAZEN political moves I've seen in my nearly 58 years as an American citizen- KC-MO city officials on Friday filed a lawsuit in an eastern Missouri court to STOP-THE-ELECTION!!!

Are YOU angry yet?

I'm going to find out which "city officials" approved of this move to take away 2 of our most basic American rights- and make those names a permanent fixture on this blog in a Hall of SHAME.

Then- pending the judges' decision whether to let the citizens exercise their BASIC rights or not- I'm going to push for an immediate removal and/or recall of those city officials who would ATTEMPT to remove those rights from us.


And should the judge do what is right and throw the lawsuit out and allowing the election- my vote to keep the earnings tax will change to REPEAL THE EARNINGS TAX- as well as voting against each and every "official" who approved taking away our American rights.

Police Car Reported "Stolen" in Norborne MO

It was a little after 2 a.m. Saturday morning when the Carroll county MO Sheriff's office (CrCoSO)  broadcast an all points bulletin:

A Norborne police car had been "stolen" from that southwestern Carroll county town- and the car contained the usual police gadget and weaponry.


About 45 minutes later- the CrCoSO returns to the air- this time to advise all agencies that the "stolen" police car and all it's gadgets and weaponry had been "located" at an unspecified location.

There wasn't any suspect or any other information available on this incident from the CrCoSO yet.

"K.C. Officials" File Lawsuit To Block Missouri Vote on Earnings Tax

The KANSAS CITY STAR is reporting that "Kansas City officials announced tonight that they filed a lawsuit in court today seeking to block an earnings tax issue from going on the statewide November ballot."

These "city officials" are going to the courts to stop the e-tax vote.

Those "city officials" do not trust the public's vote on the matter- even though there was the necessary number of citizen's petitioning for such an election.

Also- note how those "city officials" wait until Friday evening and the coming weekend when the spare news media staffs are even less to announce this underhanded move.

One has to wonder if Kansas City's City "Clowncil" is behind this one- after all- they DID throw out Kansas City voters' wishes for light rail public transportation.

CSW BREAKING: 2-Alarm Fire in Downtown Lawrence KS

A 2nd-alarm has been sounded for a reported electrical fire in the basement of a building in downtown Lawrence.

The initial alarm was broadcast to Lawrence firefighters at 12:06 p.m. for the fire at 825 Mass.  The 2nd-alarm was issued 4 minutes later.

When the initial call went out- it was reported that "employees nearly (had) the fire out" and first crews arriving didn't report anything showing- so I don't understand the need for the 2nd-alarm.


At 12:19 p.m.- the fire "in the electrical box is under control" with no injuries reported as of this post.

Americans Not Reaping Benefits of Feds' Virtually Free Money Given To Banks

Captain Spaulding DETESTS banks- and Wall Street.


I don't know if you're aware of this- but for more than a year now- banks have been able to borrow Federal taxpayer money at next-to-zero interest rates- basically free taxpayer money more-or-less given to the fat cats. 

Many of those same banks are the ones who have boosted credit card rates and fees- further gouging the American taxpayer- as well as making small business loans next to impossible to obtain.


 The head of America's semi-private Federal Reserve bank in Kansas City- Thomas Hoenig-  who by the way does not answer to American taxpayers- is somewhat critical of all the free money- according to this story from the LINCOLN (NE) JOURNAL-STAR.

Kansas City MetroRegion Weather: Chance of Severe Thunderstorms Later

The long-anticipated cool-down is on the way- and before that cooling- there's a "slight" chance of severe storms across our area for about the next 12-18 hours.

Referring to the NWS-Storm Prediction Center (SPC) graphic- you'll note that virtually all of the K.C. MetroRegion is in this forecasted area for possible severe storms later this Friday afternoon into the overnight hours of early Saturday.

The primary threat will be damaging wind gusts and possibly large hail.

The tornado threat is very small- but not completely out of the question- especially in discrete supercells that form this afternoon.


CSW will be on-duty all night to post any breaking weather developments as needed.

Commentary: Ex-Firefighter Weighs In On Lawrence KS Firefighter "Assault"

By now I'm sure most of you have heard of the alleged battery of a man- Bob Mandell- at a Lawrence KS high school band concert by an 'overly-patriotic' off-duty Lawrence firefighter- Daniel Clouse- according to the story from the LAWRENCE (KS) JOURNAL-WORLD.

First off- not all firefighters and police officers are well-adjusted- stand-up citizens. I KNOW this for a first-hand fact on a number of occasions.

And as far as firefighters being "heroes" I have news for you- THAT's our job!  We signed up for the job and were paid to do it (personally- I think volunteer firefighters are bigger heroes than paid)


Secondly- it is not THIS or any other public servant's place to force patriotism or any other belief on anybody else.

This is STILL America I think- freedom of choice- etc. until the pollys minimize/enslave us all..


If indeed Firefighter Clouse is guilty- and at least 2 witnesses to the assault on the LJW site  verify Mandell's story- then Clouse should be charged with battery and be punished.

A lawbreaker is a lawbreaker- period- be they a firefighter- cop- priest- whatever.
