Liberal bias
A liberal journalist may retire, but they never go away! Alonzo, the difference between liberals and conservatives was mentioned in your assessment of MAGA. Some people don’t feel that way. Conservatives think that way.
As Americans, we have to take the feel out of the think.
Alonzo, you have done more to divide the citizenship of America than unite it! Hope you are happy!

Nobody is more qualified than Dr. Oz
Donald Trump has just nominated Dr. Mehmet Oz to serve as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator. America is facing a healthcare crisis, and there may be no physician more qualified and capable than Dr. Oz to make America healthy again. He is an eminent physician, heart surgeon, inventor, and world-class communicator, who has been at the forefront of healthy living for decades. Dr. Oz will work closely with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to take on the illness industrial complex, and the horrible chronic diseases in its wake.
Our broken healthcare system harms everyday Americans, and crushes our country’s budget. Dr. Oz will be a leader in disease prevention, so we get the best results in the world for every dollar we spend on healthcare in our great country. He will also cut waste and fraud within our country’s most expensive government agency, which is a third of our nation’s healthcare spend, and a quarter of our national budget.

Best option stares him in the eye
John Sherman, the bully — in his own mind — now finds himself rejected by the voters and cut loose by the Chiefs! The Chiefs and Jackson County should and will make a deal to almost everyone’s satisfaction, and the poor taxpayers will with more property or sales taxes get stuck with the bill for the nonresidents of Jackson County who dominate the stands on game day!
Sherman at age 69 was too greedy to bargain for an upgrade, seeking $2-5 billion for a business complex boondoggle that under normal circumstances he will never live to see completed. Saddled with a lease that expires early in 2031 and no other cities interested in paying for his “dream,” even Nashville publicized they would build anyone a stadium but nothing else, Sherman has very few options! The best one currently stares him the eye! Build a highly competitive team by simply adding perhaps 2 or 3 quality players that do not break the bank, and he will have a team that goes deeper in the MLB playoffs than the current team did last year. Two out fielders that can hit .260+ and a strengthened bull pin, along with a real hitting coach and a managerial staff with Major League credentials and the ability to teach young players — some we already have — will produce a longer run in the playoffs! And the fans will come to watch, even after all the mistakes Sherman has made! Winning causes fans to forget about bad player and management decisions very quickly!
