JUST IN: Mayor Young blames KWAM for the city's high crime rate. He says the problem is the continuous coverage. In other words, if we just turned a blind eye to the violence, there would be no violence. So, we decided to conduct a social experiment. For the past several days we refrained from posting any crime news. The result? There were more shootings than we could count over the weekend. KWAM is not the problem, Mr. Mayor.

BALLS GALORE! The Memphis Police Department (MPD) will once again take the field in a spirited show of unity, inclusion and athleticism at the 2nd Annual “Kicking With Pride!” exhibition kickball game, where they will compete against members of Memphis’ LGBTQ+ athletic community.

This vibrant community event celebrates connection, mutual respect and sportsmanship between law enforcement and the city’s LGBTQ+ community. Following last year’s exciting matchup—where the LGBTQ+ team secured a 13–0 victory - the rematch promises high energy, friendly rivalry and continued efforts to build bridges through sport.

The Daily Memphian has published yet another anti-American screed - this time attacking the Fourth of July.

The far-left newspaper published a story titled, "Central Gardens parade-goers celebrate holiday with mixed feelings."

"Many who spoke said they were there to celebrate their community or to help their kids build a tradition, not to celebrate the country," the newspaper wrote.

"Victoria Duffy and her daughter wore their feelings on their shirts. Duffy’s shirt simply said 'I dissent' while her daughter’s was even more blunt, reading 'I hate the president,'" the newspaper reported.

They did not interview a single person who was proud to be an American or proud to be a supporter of President Trump.

Just the other day the Daily Memphian attacked the Memphis Redbirds for hosting a "Big Beautiful Buffet" as an Independence Day marketing ploy.

JUST IN: Memphis Police officers came under fire last night in downtown. Officers had responded to a "shots fired" call near Peabody Place and Ida B. Wells Street - outside the command center. That's when a man opened fire at the officers. There was a massive police response. Police are still searching for the attacker.

No officers were struck or hurt by the gunfire, police said.

We are obligated to remind you that Mayor Young and MPD Chief Davis say Memphis has never been safer.

The Lib-Tards at the Daily Memphian are stirring up a fake controversy about the Memphis Redbirds. The Redbirds were going to host an all-you-can-eat buffet for the Fourth of July. It was called the "Big Beautiful Buffet" and the cost was $47.45. Get it? 47 and 45? LOL

The Memphian went bat-crap crazy and accused the baseball team of playing politics. Their report was completely unhinged.

Long story short - the Redbirds apologized and dropped the Big Beautiful Buffet.

Instead, the Redbirds should've told those unpatriotic jerks at the Daily Memphian to shove their indignation where the sun don't shine.

BREAKING NEWS: Two people were shot and killed this afternoon in Soulsville -- in broad daylight. A suspect is in custody. It happened in front of the Rox Memphis Climbing Center.

Again, we are obligated to announce that Mayor Paul Young says Memphis is one of the safest cities in the nation and crime is at all all time low because of his policies....oh, the hell with it.

There's been yet another shooting on I-240. A woman was killed and a man was critically injured Saturday night after someone opened fire on I-240 at 385.

It's absolute chaos on the interstates -- especially at night when all the young scholars are driving 100+ mph in Dodge Chargers without tags.

Meanwhile, state troopers are busy during dayside hours pulling over people going 60 mph.

Also - we are obligated to remind you that Mayor Young, who has 24-hour security and lives in a gated community, says crime is at an all-time low.
