Opinion

I just wrote President Trump and Congressman Schmidt.. 

My thoughts below. 

Mr. President  

The cuts at the VA do not need to be arbitrary. Biden's crowning accomplishment was the pact act. It requires veterans to register, voluntarily so the VA can study what diseases veterans come down with over time. This is insufficient and where you need to make the cut. The toxins we were all exposed to are all the same… TCDD, PCB's many others… they cause organ failure and cancer in multiple organs. The EPA knows this and that's why we stopped industrial burning in the United States in 1980. The type of organ failure and cancer is likely due to the how the veterans genetics interact with the toxins and not the location of service… my advice would be to repeal the pact act and recognize all cancers and all organ system failures for toxically exposed veterans from Vietnam, the Gulf War and the GWOT burn pit areas. This will take the money out of the hands of a few doctors at the VA and compensate deserving veterans who will spend the money in their home communities. You can get your cut by simply getting rid of those hired for the pact act and be a hero for veterans who were exposed to toxins all at the same time. 

Also, please just buy Greenland and turn china against Russia with the CIA.. Have them build a Chinese national movement to take back land Russia stole during the opium wars with England. This will take pressure off Taiwan, and force our near pear competitors to use their resources against each other… Greenland is good for green energy minerals and takes china out of the loop and cuts the Russian Navy off from the Atlantic… if China goes north, and takes Vladivostok back, it cuts Russia's Navy off from the pacific… 

Thank you for your time and service to our nation,

Respectfully,

Michael A. Ogle

Re: between me and the city

Henry,

• I don't think we have anything to do with a dispute.
• I'm personally very happy the City fleet has a new permanent home at the old White-Lakes but I don't think my opinion is important here.  No apoplectic feelings here at all.  You have confused me with someone else?

If I'm missing something or anyone needs anything from me, you can call me anytime.  

Congrats to the parties & Mainline improving the space.

Matt McGivern

Dear Braxton,

Your deft sidestep, wrapped in legal prudence, is precisely what I'd expect from a seasoned operator. I respect your restraint, though it does little to temper my irritation. Outmaneuvering attorneys is a game few win—perhaps Trump's bravado pulls it off, but I've got my own playbook after 45 years in this business.

From a strategic vantage, the sale crystallized when the City Council approved the acquisition. That's the finish line, but the journey was a masterclass in municipal dysfunction. As a Topekan, I'm frankly astounded this deal didn't collapse under the weight of our usual discord. The City's process was an exasperating display of bureaucratic myopia. They had years to relocate the garage, yet fumbled the ball until I planted the seed at the February 2024 City Council meeting. That's where the deal's pulse started, and let's not kid ourselves: John Parker's willingness to bend, to be flexible when others wouldn't, was the fulcrum that made this happen.

Was the City's decision to onboard KBS before the deal even necessary? Getting the consultant in place first is "so Topeka". A textbook cart-before-the-horse blunder. It didn't stall the timeline outright, but it muddied the waters and alienated key players. President of Senne Construction, Matt McGivern, was apoplectic, and rightly so, over the City's cavalier approach to basic sequencing. 

Wible PD, fully aware they were sidelined, stepped up anyway, guiding me through the morass. His meeting with John Parker, Jr., was a momentous change—without it, Mainline might've been relegated to a footnote.

Let's be unambiguous: this dispute is solely between me and the other broker—a private matter, untethered from the City or Mainline.

We appreciate the fact that you introduced us to the Parkers and got that first tour scheduled for us; however, as we are not a party to your contract with Coldwell Banker or the particulars of what was required to be procuring cause, it would be inappropriate for us weigh in on this private dispute between you and Coldwell Banker.  The City represented itself in this transaction.  Ultimately this is a dispute between Mainline and you as to whether you were the procuring cause.

I will start building my case for my commission. This is easy if you respond in the affirmative to the email agreeing I was the procuring cause to the deal at mainline. 

 

 I have tv footage at the council meeting where I gave the city the idea.
