WEEKLY/SEMANAL - KANSAS CITY, MO

Despite the sadness in faces of World Cup fans in the Power and Light District on Nov. 26 following Mexico’s 2-0 loss to Argentina, many fans say they still have hope for victory. Others yet are already placing that optimism in 2026, when Kansas City is slated to be one of the host cities for that year’s World Cup.

This was one of the strangest sports weekends I can recall. I could not decide at times between watching futbol or football. What made it difficult was the truth that the World Cup is my March Madness, NBA playoffs, Superbowl and World Series all in one. I wait for the four years that it takes for the Cup to come around and rarely am I disappointed. A consequence of that fanaticism is the things that seem so important become business as usual. That is the case with the Chiefs 26-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Washington, DC - It wasn’t déja vu taking us back to 2015. Donald J. Trump officially announced his intention of seeking the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, resorting to the same old songbook of lies, exaggerations, and attacks on his opponents.
