Winter Weather:
Heads up on your drive in this morning. Light snow will fall across the KSGF listening area this morning.
COVID-19:
The Springfield News-Leader wrote an article about a coronavirus “skeptic” that got COVID and is now issuing a warning. Was this person really a skeptic, or were they not as worried about getting the virus?
- After hospital stay, former COVID-19 ‘skeptic’ says it’s ‘wise to take precautions’ (Springfield News-Leader)
When Did They Know:
The FBI and the New York City Police Department allegedly warned Capitol police & Congress that riots may happen during the Electoral College vote.
- FBI, NYPD told Capitol Police about possibility of violence before riot, senior officials say (Yahoo!)
Not only were they warned days ahead of time, but reports are saying that the National Guard was turned away.
Nixa PD:
KY3 wrote a story about the decrease in interest of law enforcement jobs… But the journalist never asked the questions as to WHY.
Public Shaming:
The former mayor of Springfield is public shaming Springfield residents on a new Facebook group.
The group, “Springfield Supports Masks – Businesses Who Do and Don’t,” allows for neighbors to tattle on neighbors. You can even post photos of Springfield residents not wearing masks.

- 11 months into deadly pandemic, a former Springfield mayor and a friend are starting an online push to get businesses to enforce masking (Springfield News-Leader)
Nick has questions about this newly found group that NO journalist has asked:
- Is it now okay to publicly discriminate against disabled Springfield residents?
- Is it okay to encourage it?
- How is former Springfield Mayor Bob Stephens monitoring anti-maskers vs. those who have a disability?
- What about veterans with PTSD? Those who are hard of hearing? Those who have other disabilities that make wearing a mask impossible?
