## Resource

Always the eternal optimist, the official position at KKHI has been the that the midterms are in play for Republicans. But your humble host is going to need a booster shot to keep believing. Republicans don't seem interested in turning out as the war in Iran drags the party down. In Alaska, the dems are so good at elections they found a guy named Dan Sullivan to run against Senator Dan Sullivan in the primary in a ranked choice election. This is NOT a joke. A 13 year old boy on a scooter is hit by a car near at a Leawood school Monday... it may be time to rethink these motorized menaces. Independence is putting in a 6:00pm curfew for SantaCaliGon Days for anyone under 18. KCMO has released their funding proposal for the $600 million they are giving the Royals for a new ball park. On the field, Jac Caglianone is going crazy for the Royals right now. Chiefs number one draft pick Mansoor Delane hits the field for full contact for the first time. The Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable team in the NFL as the new list is out. The Chiefs rank will surprise you. And our Final Final is a man arrested at a Tokyo airport for what he had hidden inside 22 pairs of socks in his suitcase. And it wasn't drugs or jewelry or cash.
