The recent burglaries at the homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes have sparked conversations about wealth, security, and the strange realities of fame. While these athletes are worth millions, it seems they are still vulnerable to crime. Kelce’s home in Leawood, Kansas, was broken into on October 7th, with the burglar causing $1,000 in damage to a back door and making off with $20,000 in cash. This isn’t the first time an NFL player has been targeted, and it begs the question: why would someone have that much cash lying around?
Some people are quick to point out that $20,000 isn’t a significant amount of money to someone like Kelce, who likely makes millions annually.… Continue reading
Deshaun Watson is sued for sexual assault and battery, and the narrative that unfolds is nothing short of disturbing. The graphic details of the incident with Jane Doe paint an alarming picture of a man who abused his power and violated someone’s trust in the most despicable way possible. Reading about the ordeal that Jane Doe went through is not only heartbreaking but enraging. No one should ever have to endure such a horrific experience, and the fact that this is just one of the 27 cases against Watson is truly sickening.
The response from the public is a clear reflection of the outrage and disgust that this case has sparked.… Continue reading
I cannot fathom the decision-making process that led some fans to undergo amputations after enduring the frigid temperatures at the recent Chiefs playoff game. The idea of losing a body part for the sake of a game, no matter how big or how devoted a fan one may be, is unfathomable to me. Was it a lack of proper attire, an abundance of alcohol dulling their senses, or simply a misguided sense of loyalty that led to such severe consequences?
Having been to cold NFL games myself, I make sure to wrap myself up in layers upon layers of warm clothing.… Continue reading
Gov. Newsom recently called the Republicans ‘pathetic’ for going after Taylor Swift, and I have to say, I couldn’t agree more. It’s truly astonishing to see the lengths that some in the GOP will go to attack anyone who doesn’t align with their narrow ideologies. Last night, red America decided to root against California simply because they didn’t like that Taylor Swift, a white billionaire ex-country music singer, was dating a straight white football player from a red state team. It’s absurd.
The Republican base seems to get angry at anything that Fox News tells them, regardless of how little sense it may make.… Continue reading
As an owner of a 2003 Toyota Corolla, the recent news of Toyota warning 50,000 US vehicle owners to stop driving and get immediate repairs has caught my attention. It seems like every time there’s a recall on airbag inflators, it’s always Takata. In fact, Takata has recalled over 100 million airbags globally, making it the largest automobile safety recall in history. It makes me wonder, what was Takata doing in the 2000s to mess up so badly?
The affected cars in this particular recall are 20 years old, including the 2003-2004 model year Corolla, 2003-2004 Corolla Matrix, and 2004-2005 RAV4s with Takata airbag inflators.… Continue reading
