Russia’s man in Kansas City, I guess.

«KCXL grabbed attention in 2018 for providing air time to Steve West, a Republican candidate in Clay County for the Missouri House of Representatives who used his “Jack Justice” radio show to discuss what The Star then described as “fanatical conspiracies about ‘Jewish cabals’ that are ‘harvesting baby parts’ through Planned Parenthood, that torture and molest children and that run the Republican Party.”

KCXL’s website today describes itself as an outlet that “will bring you the truth.”

“America is a very different country than it used to be,” KCXL’s website says. “We used to be a country of freedom, job, opportunity, and equality. Now, we are a country that looks down upon traditional values. We are a country that puts its citizens second to citizens of other countries.”»

Running Amtrak like an airline:

«”With removal of seats, it can be quite costly,” the agent wrote. “In previous years, the removal of seats from the coach cars incurred fees that Amtrak absorbed … We understand and appreciate your loyalty with Amtrak. Going forward, we cannot continue to absorb these fees. These polices have changed nationwide as of 2019.”»

Coolest signs on bathroom doors:

“Urinals and Stalls”

“Stalls Only”

Aaand, here we are, back to “persuasion” (as opposed to “turnout”).

«Trump narrowly carried Wisconsin in the 2016 election, edging out Hillary Clinton by less than 25,000 votes out of a total of 2.8 million votes cast.»

My anger with “College Behind Bars” is it implies there’s an easy solution to the prison crisis: college access. The crisis in American prisons is so much deeper and structural. If resources were infinite then let’s do it all. But they’re not. Not even at the federal level. 21/
