TKC EXCLUSIVE AND THE SATURDAY NIGHT PLAYLIST!!! KANSAS CITY COUNCIL REDISTRICTING FACES UPCOMING TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER!!!



Remember that before any other news outlet in Kansas City, TKC TIPSTERS revealed the "rush redistricting" of City Council Districts that's currently underway at City Hall.

The latest scheme from The City Council is based on a silly idea that involves a screwed up committee with no time to meet the dumbass (and unconstitutional) requirements of The Current Charter. Funny aside, behind closed doors The City Council just doesn't want Mayor Funky to have much input into this process and they don't mind telling him so face to face.

Never mind that there's NO DATA from City Hall regarding the racial demographics of the proposed district and gerrymandering is pretty much a guarantee with some of the silly plans already on the table.

To wit, because of the grassroots opposition to this doomed effort, TKC TIPSTERS don't mind noting . . .

PLANS ARE UNDERWAY TO FILE A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST THIS REDISTRICTING PROCESS IN COOPERATION WITH MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL!!!

Members from throughout the African-American community spoke out against this effort to rob their community of representation at the "Committee As A Whole" meeting on Thursday.

Now let's get into more detail:

TKC TIPSTERS contend: Local Attorney Clinton Adams, City Council Hopeful Michael Fletcher and Urban League President Gwen Grant have been working on organized opposition to this move.

Adams, as always, has been working to rally Community support.

Fletcher, just as TKC noted is already becoming a strong organizing force in Kansas City's African-American Community, and he seems to be one of the main forces consulting on the serious legal challenges underway.

And Grant is making media appearances which often confuse people who might think a Lauryn Hill comeback is underway with an even more screwed up hairdo.

In any event, thanks to TKC TIPSTERS, this blog has lead all other media outlets on coverage of this misguided effort that could seriously threaten the voting rights of Kansas City's Diverse Communities.

  1. Has Michael Fletcher broken his Baby Mama's eardrums lately? Both eardrums...different dates. What can you do when the guy wants to drive drunk with the kiddos? Of course, his cab taking days didn't go real well either...

    You know you can ask him. There are medical records. Both eardrums. Different dates. And the cabdriver deal was on Channel 5.

    Or you can let him buy you dinner - yuck!

    TKC hearts beaTers.

  2. What all was Clinton Adams disbarred for? Is it really a great idea to consult with a guy who stole from his clients?

    ReplyDelete
  3. Why would it be based on race? It's supposed to be based on numbers. With racists it's always division.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I didn't think Fletcher was allowed to practice law anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  5. And all the while everyone says fletch would be better than sanders brooks.Whats that say about the third.?

    ReplyDelete
  6. The leadership in KC is horrendous.Starting with the 29th floor.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Good comments about no leadership, especially no black leadership in the city. And I thought Fletcher was supposed to be a "new" face, but it looks like he's tied into the same old "you're a racist" crowd.
    If the council has any guts or any integrity, they'll redistrict by using the numbers, not by listening to a little gang of people who are interested only in themselves.
    Why do we keep trying the same thing over and over, and then expect different results? Look at the school district, which at least has a chance of success with its new leadership.
    Most of these self-proclaimed "leaders" would be exposed as frauds just like the Wizard of Oz, if someone would just pull away the curtain.
    There's a job for you, Tony.

  9. Hey Fletcher was on the grassy knoll too and he smokes heroin and beats up kids...you Fletcher haters are pathetic...get used to it...he is back.

    ReplyDelete
  10. And to think, people say I'M wordy! Squeeze the self promotion out of there and I might have read it.

    Where's the BEEF here? You're talk radio habits of going on and on, repeating the same thing, and slapping yourself on the for the entire time you have...is spilling over to your blog, bud!

    And all of it inside baseball, besides! Yawn.

  11. 9:59 you sure seem to know a lot, maybe an ex? but where are these medical records you claim prove what you are saing? the cab driving thing--again, it turns out that Fletch proved--in court--that he PAID the cab driver BUT "Ms.Fletcher Fucked Me and Said He Loved Me" why don't you write those facts or do they show you are just some bitter angry chick.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I have litigated cases against Fletcher, the truth is that I don't care for him personally but he should never have been disciplined--as a "white guy" I can tell you Flethcer has been treated differently than other lawyers, judges don't like him because he doesn't just lay down like most lawyers and he is black.

    ReplyDelete
  13. 9:51 I am a "black guy" and thanks for telling the truth about Fletcher, not only do we need him, so does the city.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Alvin Brooks hates Fletcher so much that he is funding his "boy" Jermaine Reed to run against him. watch out and also to split the "black so called vote " they are now throwing in the loser from the school board where "West" kick his butt-Kenneth Hughlon to run against Curls! This is getting interesting.
    Let "freedom" ring!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yeah, the black community needs someone that will stand up how in the hell will these mouth pieces stand up its the same old story Brooks and the community takers putting in place their people, Hughlon and Reed what a joke. They might as well put Coe back in.

    ReplyDelete
  16. No, actually J. Leonard Hughes III found Fletcher guilty. The medical records were introduced at trial. For BOTH eardrums. This was Fletcher's hideous defense: That he broke the OTHER eardrum.

    Turned out it was BOTH eardrums Fletcher broke..at different times!! Fletcher beat her because she tried to stop him from driving drunk with the kids.

    Although he later paid off his wife, the medical records are still in a safe place.

    Convicted felon, and former Judge Deborah Neal "found" Fletcher not guilty of stealing from the cabdriver. Deborah Neal is a gambling addict who repeatedly asked for money from attorneys.

    Fletcher's drunken race-baiting can be viewed via KCTV-5 archives.

    Both Hughes and Neal are African American.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Former Judge Neal, is the gal in the funny disguise on the hidden camera, in the KCKS casino video at the crack of dawn before court.

    Deborah Neal had been charged with trespassing at the casino in MO after self-reporting, so she was sneaking around that ramshackle deal in KCKS. Convicted Felon Deborah Neal likes Fletcher too!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Convicted Felon and formerly disbarred attorney Clinton Adams (and his creepy sister Gwen Grant) love them some Fletcher and Riley too!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I believe that redistricting should be based ONLY on numbers. We should not be basing anything on race, color, creed, gender. It's the content of your character. Period, end of discussion. I also believe that we need new leadership in all districts in the city. Let's get some people in there that have NO puppet strings attached to them!!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Do fools who vote for Riley and Fletcher deserve what they get because they have been forewarned: unaccredited schools and asbestos poisoning?

    ReplyDelete
  21. 9:51 is an insurance company attorney who made out like a bandit because Fletcher can't try a case without major problems. Riley fed Fletcher cases who got a fraction of what it was worth if he had to try it. But Riley tried to get them settled for a whole lot more.

    Ed Pendleton even filed a lawsuit when Riley took a case from him and gave it to Fletcher. Yeah, bring that crap to the County.

    ReplyDelete
  22. now fletcher was paying off riley and paying off witnesses and paying off judges...Let me guess, he is going to be indicted WITH riley...the fear of white people regarding a black man who stands against them is pathetic.

    I am for Fletcher now more than ever.

    ReplyDelete
  23. 11:12 is obvious another white lawyer or even judge who is hurt and offended that a black guy was better than everyone else. As much as yo want fletcher to lose, your ugliness simply tells black people who much we need him. Keep it up 11:12 we are going to have change at city hall.

    ReplyDelete
  24. 12:17 - Smart people with resources can't move away fast enough! Every single person in the stories about Fletcher is black except for his wife. He picked her. She went to the E.R. Enjoy your vote.

    ReplyDelete
  25. 12:26 except for the white judges who made up the reason to suspend him, the white cops who lied about his not paying the cab nd the white lawyers like you who make up shit.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Sorry, but you guys in here are scumbags hiding behind your anonymity naming names.

    I have no respect for yas... or most of the people you shill for, for local government.

    As the man said, 'which one among you...." but of course you don't believe in the man. You believe only in yourselves. Sounds to me like local government is a tough fraternity to pledge!

    But if you suck enough of the actives, they'll let you in so long as you follow their rules?

    You people are not showing your best side. Which is why most people just lump you all together. Probably why most of them don't vote, they don't see a nickel's worth of difference in any of you. If you aren't corrupt when you first run, you will be if you win because that's what it takes to stay in power!

    Plagues on your houses! Meowwwwww, Hiss, Spit!

  27. I can understand the black communities fear of re-drawn lines.

    I can.

    The current makeup of the boundaries has worked so well for them up to now.

    Why fix what isn't broken?

    ReplyDelete
  28. "black community" blah blah blah. What about one Kansas City? Why is everyone so worried about race?

    ReplyDelete
  29. You're right 3:13!! Re-district by the numbers - not the race!! 1KC!!

  30. Let them all sniff my man scent from the area between my scrotum and anus.

  31. FOr once. Radioman makes a really good point.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I don't read his crap. What was his point?

    ReplyDelete
  33. that most these people suck.

    ReplyDelete
  34. The thing that gets me about Fletcher is how he and his supporters keep repeating the same, unprovable lines in the hope that they will be believed. Saying white lawyers and white judges hate him will not make it true. Saying he was a good lawyer will not make it true (and no, making lots of money does not necessarily mean you were a good lawyer). Saying he was denied his rights will not make it true.

    AS a final thought: the judiciary is an easy target because ethically, it cannot fight back. So, he can spew his hate for the many judges who agreed he acted inappropriately and loudly claim he was denied rights -- knowing full well that he is wrong and that the judges cannot and will not respond.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Why is it if African-Americans ever have a choice of whom to support, people act like it's a grand plan to "split the vote"? We have a substantial African-American population, it's okay if they have a choice.

    ReplyDelete
  36. 1:02 but the racist judges do have dumb fucks like you to parrot their racism...fletcher has never had a hearing in Missouri, never allowed to cross examine witnesses and it was because white judges and white lawyers were made he made millions of dollars.

    ReplyDelete
  37. See, there you go again. You say it, say it, and say it again --but your statements still are not true.

    I don't dislike Fletcher because of his race. I dislike him because of things he's said and done.

    In contrast, I like and admire Sly James.

    Just out of curiousity: what about the black judges who voted to discipline Fletcher?

    ReplyDelete
  38. 12:42 there you go again...if what you say about Fletcher is true, please post the conviction from municipal court that you claim happened...post the medical records that you claim were part ofthe record. You are doing nothing more than making shit up. Black judges, how about Ronnie White who said the white judges were "fucking" fletcher. Let me guess, you don't want to talk about that black judge. and you say he's a bad lawyer, he made millions of dollars, unlike you. Get over yourself, I'm sorry he slept with you or your friends and it hurt your feelings. Produce evidence or any record to support what you say or just admit you are some dumb chick who got used and are upset.

    ReplyDelete
  39. "I like and admire Sly James" of course you do...because fat white chicks like you "like and admire" black people who go along with whatever you say, who don't fight for black people and who sip wine on the plaza.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Hmmm . .. Fletcher was disciplined for, among other things, purposely taking statements out of context. Excuse me if I do not believe his representations about what Judge White said.

    ReplyDelete
  41. By the way, 12:24 is not the same person who said anything about medical records, convictions, etc. Believe it or not, more than one person dislikes the things Fletcher has done and the things he has said.

    He was not railroaded by anyone because they were scared of his success. Fletcher was disciplined for failing to follow ethical rules. His lack of a hearing is nonsence, as he had a hearing in fedaral court. The decision was affirmed. Missouri imposed discipline on him because that is what happens: if you are disciplined in one place you are disciplined everywhere else. Missouri said he will not be reinstated until the federal court reinstates him. EOS

  42. Ronnie White never had to deal with Fletcher, so why would he unethically chime-in?
