Cats of Kansas City

Many people have lost faith in the news and question truth from all comers. The idea of a universal truth, outside of the sky being blue and that one plus one equals two, seems to be more and more elusive. One thing that everyone can agree on, however, is that cats are the world's greatest pets. Dogs are fine, sure, but they aren't cats. Fish are kind of fun to look at...for like five minutes. Cats though? No fact check needed. They're the best.

A Jacksonville man who spent more than 44 years in prison is suing over his wrongful arrest. Willie Williams was convicted of attempted murder in a store robbery in 1975 and sentenced to life in prison, a crime he always insisted he did not commit. He was paroled in 2020 at age 79.

Green Bay, WI

A year ago, it felt like the Green Bay Packers were heading into a bit of a rebuilding season for the first time in a while.The Packers had moved on from Aaron Rodgers as their longtime starting quarterback and replaced him with an unproven young passer in Jordan Love. Most assumed Green Bay was going to take a step back in 2023 with Love leading the offense.But then the actual games were played, and after only winning two of their first seven matchups, the Packers got things on track and finished the 2023 regular season with a 7-3 record in...

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Detroit, MI

Javier Baez, what would you say...you do here?That's the question Detroit Tigers owner Christopher Ilitch should be asking the man once known as "El Mago."Either that, or "where's my $25 million?"It was no secret that former general manager Al Avila strapped Detroit to a terrible contract when he signed Baez to a six-year, $140 million contract in 2021. Baez was once arguably the hottest player in the game who earned the nickname comparing him to a magician, but his first two years in Detroit were more trick than treat. Now that he's fully settled into his new digs, "El Mago"...

The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced a little dog named Howie who they describe as the “cutest pup on four paws" clarifying that “okay they might all be cute, but Howie is extra special." Despite being returned to the shelter twice, the shelter staff attest that Howie brings an extra special charm to anyone he meets.

As a lifelong Wyoming hunter, I, like so many others I’ve spoken to since, was totally disgusted when I first read the news stories and saw the images of the torture and killing of a young wolf in Daniel, Wyoming. I was overwhelmed with outrage over the disturbing way this seriously injured animal was paraded around. Was there nothing we could do to stop this kind of torturous cruelty?

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

It’s been nearly three years since Jeff Blashill was an NHL head coach, but his extended hiatus doesn’t seem to deter one team from possibly considering him for its head coach opening.According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, Blashill could be a leading candidate for the open head-coaching job with the San Jose Sharks — a team looking for a fresh voice after a league-worst 19-54-9 record in 2023 under former HC David Quinn.“I would like see Jeff Blashill get a second chance,” Friedman stated on his “32 Thoughts” podcast. “I would like to see what people learn after their first time...

Twenty-two years ago, Robert Ray Courtney (Inmate Register #14636-045) was convicted of diluting chemotherapy drugs for more than 4,000 patients. It's been recently reported he will be released from prison this summer to a halfway house. Victims and families of victims are most likely disappointed and furious and understandably so.
