Janis off her meds again?

But why was the side door open?

I'm beginning to think Chris McDaniel could coast in if all of his supporters went into lock down. His supporters are the only thing keeping Cochran in this thing.

When is the Tea Party going to bring out their white hoods? I'm willing to bet their next legaslative agenda is going to be the seperation of races. You know you have a problem when their go to write in candidate is Ross Barnett!!

sweet baby 8 lb jesus.

Why hasn't this made the news??

When is the Tea Party going to bring out their white hoods?

Leave it to a Cochran cultist to grope for a race angle where none was reported.

I would bet cash money that the 2nd woman was Laura Van Oversheld. Who was the 3rd?
Why aren't they being charged with trespassing?

The things Chris McDaniel causes some people to do. He's got quite a hold over some people.

Did she get the idea from watching " The Good Wife" ?
Breaking in and then locking yourself in wasn't bad enough, she has to say, " Women shouldn't vote"?
Maybe instead of voter ID , women AND men should have to be certified as sane!

Bla, bla, bla...whoopdi doo. Who cares? Don't you have any better news today?

Why are 4 HINDS county precinct boxes still uncounted according to WAPT? Compromised??

why in the world was a side door to the Hinds County Circuit Clerk's office open at 2 AM?

Is this something they normally do?

If there wasn't an election going on, is that side door left open then too? Need something from the clerk's office? No problem, side door is open so just come on it. Good grief.

Have no idea how one becomes the head of any Tea Party, er, chapter but at this point the Central Mississippi group should remove Janis. Better yet Janis should resign as the harm she does far exceeds any good.

Ironic given that the tea party wants less government and more power to the people. Kinda hard to think about reducing government and believing the people when the tea party executives continue to drain the law enforcement resources of the tri-county area.

dayum KF! why such a boner for the tea party? every time one of those clods in the black cockeye opens their mouth something stupid comes out. you need to show them some affection also.

"Where's the CAN around here?"

@1:15 I'm sure they would get some hoods of not for all the democrats that own them. Klan don't let republicans join. Klan is a democrat operation since the 1865. Maybe you can ask your ole grandad if the tea party can borrow his.

Bat shit crazy, that woman.

A door to the courthouse building was propped open? Seriously? The night after an election? What the friggin' hell is wrong with you people in Hinds County?

Prosecute Lane. Throw the damn book at her. But you won't solve squat until y'all start paying attention and executing the basics. That starts with the security of the courthouse 24/7/365.

The brilliant Jimmie Gates of the C-L recapped it thusly:

"Sheriff's Department spokesman Othor Cain said today there was never a threat to any ballots or anything, all of those were already secured.

Cain said the Sheriff Department filled out a report on the incident, but there's no investigation or anything"

I'm certain McDaniel nor anyone on his staff have ever met the three women cat burglars or had ever been to the Hind's county courthouse. Never mind there will be pictures of them together on Facebook and at least one of them served as babysitter to the McDaniel kids. Just wait. Don't you wish they called 911 for someone to rescue them? I'm telling you better than anything on tv.

@1:54: Maybe if they'd stay out of trouble, KF wouldn't blog about their derpy adventures. Asking them to behave and not do anything stupid for the next few months will be a real test. Like giving a toddler a soda and cookies and asking him or her to sit still.

It is so un American to support a candidate, to meddle and watch government,, who in the world would consider, fact checking the bank that finacced Cochrans aid house, why don't we go through all the pork Billions, Trillions and see what was done,, No but anyone that drives funny , leave a sign out, or watches government needs a black helicopter on their tail.

Hinds County ... A Third-World of Difference!

Can't wait for the Fondren Bugle to do an in-depth investigative piece on this.......maybe they already had their secret cameras planted there to record the escapades at 2 a.m.

G. Gordon Liddy needs to come to town and give these fools some classes. He could make a fortune.

2:31, okay, I guess sneaking into a a gov't building at 2 a.m. counts as "watching government."

Anderson "Where's the CAN around here?"
Love the Brad Pitt quote. So who got Lucky?

June 4, 2014 at 2:23 PM

Can Other Cain tell us more about the back door being open?

As is so TYPICAL, Mississippi will be the only state in the union to elect a Tea Party nut job, IF he gets past silly mustache.

Queen you'd be wrong...McDaniel and Lane have met.
I can't think , since McDaniel is able to speak in complete sentences, that he encouraged or knew about this.

But, you've got to worry about who supports him and to how beholden he is to The Tea Party.

You've got to worry about The MS Tea Party. This is their PRESIDENT ...Lordy . Do you want our politicians to try to placate those who should be in Whitfield?

I think these folks have been drinking the tea alright, but it ain't Lipton.

the door referenced is used to unload ballot boxes as they come in. normally it stays closed and can only be opened with an access card. they propped it open because the people delivering boxes had no card. someone screwed up and left it propped. once inside that door you are in a hallway of locked offices. the door in question does not allow entry into the circuit clerk office or any other locked office. its really not a big deal except to show how crazy some of these people are...

Kingfish sensationalizes the women 'gained access' as if the slit open a screen window with a box cutter. The damned door was open for Christ's sake. Gained access my ass.

@1:23; good luck prosecuting someone for trespass for entering a public building with the door wide open. Here's your sign dumbass.

I don't blame these women for accessing this building. As many ballot box shenanigans as this state has, you'd think the media would have entered the building to see what was up. I sure hope they didn't take a snapshot of any democrat poll workers asleep in their room.

They walked in an open door and shut it behind them. They looked around for a clerk. Could not find anybody. They called on their cell phones for help to get out. A deputy came and let them out.

Wait a second. That can't be right. That's simple, succinct and perfectly reasonable. Also, there's no law broken. We've got to come up with a better story than that. Everyone knows the Tea Party is a bunch of rubes who stick their noses into politics where they don't belong. Surely we can make up something that will belittle these meddlers and discredit them. After all, we're smarter than they are, have more money than they do and don't like them. They need to back off from influencing matters that are on our turf.

Judge not lest you be judged. Nothing but gossip's fear moungering.

Sounds like a drinking adventure. Can't you just hear the discussion? Should we just shut it? Should we call someone? They will think we did it? Well, before you call 911, let's go in to the restroom.

Agree, Janis should resign. She is the wrong person to lead this group and projects the wrong image. Hard worker, but it is time to go.

Thank goodness for the prisoner exchange or else MS would , yet again , be embarrassed by those of us who are undereducated or who would have been locked in the family attic years ago.

Sounds like a planned break-in.

Alan's working on his ED problem again. Calling this a break in.

I guess maybe one test for "are you a McDaniel voter or a Cochran voter?" goes like this:

It's 2:00 a.m., and you're outside the building where ballots are being counted and preserved on an election night. You are an officer of a political organization that supports a major candidate in that election. You see a side door left ajar and unattended. Do you go inside?

___ No, I don't have any authority or proper purpose to be in there. Maybe if I see a guard or a cop, I'll mention that door in case it was left open by mistake.

___ Hell yes! This is America, and my tax dollars paid for that door and the whole damn building! Who's to tell me I can't go inside, carrying my Glock proudly on my hip?

Ok, who would leave the door open at the Hinds County Courthouse. Why would anyone be at the Hinds County Courthouse at 2am in the morning? Sounds like there was some inside planning. Sounds like someone was trying to set Janis Lane to get caught? Could Janis Lane be that stupid? Was she arrested??? If Janis Lane wasn't arrest why??? I'm sure I'm going to get alot of heat from the readers of Jackson Jambalaya.

Did Pete Perry leave the door propped open? Connie Cochran, did she leave the door propped open?

Wait a minute, isn't Brewster on the official campaign staff? And Rob Cambers of MS Baptist Convention?

Not from me 5:57 pm...the door is left propped open and she calls Pete Perry because she, oops, genius that she is, closed the door.
Someone left it open...for a fee?
And, why would she ( with 2 others...need help carrying boxes?) go in?
The news is saying " trespassing" at the worst but I think this begs a more thorough investigation.

PARTY OVER.

5:07 pm You're the dumbass if you think there's some legitimate reasons for 1) the door to be left open after the last delivery and 2) for Janis to show up and then close the door behind her with nobody inside and it being " lights out" time.

@2:23 Othor isn't exactly a Rhodes scholar or any scholar.

So, how do we know that the door was propped open? Because she said it was? I would probably expect to hear the same thing from any burglar.

Byron York's piece, on what Haley Barbour has in store for Mississippi in the coming "done deal" immgration reform executive order, appears in today's Hattiesburg-American. His comments are an affront as much to low- skilled black agricultural workers and construction workers, as it is to the university-educated middle class. Barbour says blacks are lazy and won't work in chicken-processing plants and accept the same wages as illegal "Spanish-speaking" workers. Our former back-slapping, cigar-chomping, bourbon-sipping, syrup-mouth former governor has just handed McDaniel a hot potato issue for which he can nail "gone foreign" Cochran and his hangers-on to the proverbial cross. So-called Immigration reform, so-called free trade treaties and proxy wars in the Middle East are draining the wealth of this country, putting at risk the country's health system. None of the candidates has addressed these issues.

Scott Brewster is an official member of the McDaniel team!?!

So 7:04 PM you think any of those numbskulls are skilled enough to physically break into the building?

I think the critical issue here is, WHY was she there at 2:00 A.M.????????

There has been no answer as to what her motivation was..............and this is the 2nd time THAT WE KNOW ABOUT, that a TP person has gone into a facility where they were not supposed to be (think Rose Cochran, and now the BALLOT COUNTING offices).

McDaniel has a problem, and it happens to be his supporters.......whom he will owe a LOT to if he gets elected. What will they demand......higher doses of prozac? Sadly, those who are drinking the TP Kool-Aid will make tons of excuses for this event, but will probably not answer any time in the near future, as to her motivation in the G. Gordon Liddy break-in at 2:00 a.m., into an empty building, with no cars in the parking lot.

Hope the press covers this -- because it is just ONE MORE EXAMPLE of TP Leadership. My mama always told me -- you are judged by the company you keep.

Earl Grey Cheers!!! Pass the meds!

7:04 pm I take her word for that because I'm pretty sure if she and her cohorts are so dumb as to lock themselves in, they were too dumb to get past the key pad as they were obviously too dumb to get out!

I think some of the " outside" money paid Busby to make a phony message and set up the robos for it and I think the same money went to someone in the clerk's office to leave the door propped open. With poor dumb " Constitution", the promise of being " in" with the " big boys" was probably enough.

Micah you got it. Inside job. Wonder if the Koch Brothers paid cash for this job. Accounts for all involved need to be checked for who funded the "operation." There has to be security cameras showing who let the dogs in. If not all campaign officials need to take the heat. The election should be called in Cochran favor just for this stunt. 6:35, I hope these Clowns realize the Party is Over!

No McDaniel voters are scholars. If you ran a demographic study you would probably find an average of 11th grade education at best, that is before they left for Vo-Tech school.

You know that the "ladies" are stupid. Who in their right minds would be in downtown Jackson at 2am? Also wouldn't it be a clue that nothing was going on inside when there were no or very few cars around at 2 am in downtown Jackson. This story has holes are in it.

Gee, 3 taxpayers who have worked their behinds off on a campaign have the nerve to enter a door upon direction by a guard. They actually walked in, presumably on their legs. They closed the door instead of leaving it wide open. I don't know how many of you have ever worked on a campaign, but it is NOT uncommon to go to the placed - called a courthouse - where ballots are being collected, counted, or secured, to ask questions or check security. I've put in maybe 1/20th of the work these folks put in and have been to my local courthouse on several occasions late on election nights when there were ballot delays. It is a right of every citizen to do so as long as officials have not forbidden it. Then they had the colossal temerity to use a cell phone to call someone to let them out when the door locked automatically. Any other suggestions on how they might get out? Breaking window maybe - Maybe they could be punished appropriately by having "V" for Voter branded on their foreheads. The nasty attitude of many toward what they view as 'Tea Party' seems to ratchet up as membership increases, word gets out about initiatives, and people begin to research and think about issues instead of just pulling a lever as instructed. Just today, my poor ignorant self directed a voter how to access voting records of Senators. Perhaps this could be construed as slander, maybe breaking & entering as I used a computer of a friend, or maybe just good use of what I actually did learn in poli sci - although I could probably have learned just as much at a VoTec.

Picture Kim Kardashian with a tin-foil hat. That's the tea party.

Sounds a little like Watergate!

And to any who think my quiz above was unfair, may I introduce you to 7:56.

I worked Bush's second campaign and was sent to another state (swing state) on Election Day. We waited at the courthouse until they closed and we were told to go home, that there was no more information to be obtained that night. We left; there was no reason to stay if there was no more counting going on. This was a Presidential election and the state that gave Bush the win. No one would have considered entering that building, even we thought that tampering was going on; it would have been trespassing ( a crime) and really, really stupid.

I can think of no reasonable reason why would anyone stay and enter the courthouse once counting ceased. If they thought someone was going to tamper with the ballots, then they should have called the proper authorities. The fact that they didn't makes me think that THEY were trying to tamper with the ballots. I also find it hard to believe that a security guard told them to enter the building once it was closed when there were ballots inside. This makes about as much sense as breaking into St. Catherine's to take a picture of Mrs. Cochran. Makes me think the same people are involved in both events.

I am having flashbacks of Nixon saying I am not a crook.

The entire Tea Party is made up of BAT SHIT CRAZIES.

Great guests for KF's next radio show. Pete Perry and Janis Lane... Special call in guest will be G.Gordon Liddy giving special instructions on how to pick a lock when you accidently lock yourself inside.

where oh where is Foghorn Leghorn when we need him?

Scenario: you are Chris McDaniel.There are 4 boxes that aren't being counted on election night (for some odd reason), and Pete Perry is in charge of counting them. He loves Thad and has been on radio numerous times saying so. He decides to count ALL boxes save 4 at 11:00pm, which could potentially win you a monumental election? Would you not send troops over, even if from Hattiesburg, to check on what the hell was happening? I damn sure would.

And if ANY of you have ever worked an election, you know you can find yourself at the courthouse way after midnight. Move along.

I hope Thad, Gallo, Lange, and Henry run negative about this for the next 2 weeks. It will make the runoff much easier.

Way better than any soap opera on TV. Can't wait for the next episode.

10:26 PM - If I thought there were shenanigans, I would watch the courthouse but I would not enter the courthouse. That distnintion may be small to you, but in the real world that is the difference between legal and illegal activility.

Again, why would anyone connected to a campaign enter a closed and empty building where the ballots are kept ? I can think of no reasonable explanations and I have not heard of any being offered by the McDaniels camp.

Does anyone understand the significance of this group ?
A TP nut, a McDaniel campaign worker, and ROB CHAMBERS---he's not just a consultant for the Baptist Convention....HE is the BABPTIST convention's LOBBYIST! Writes for their newsletter, takes positions on a wide array of issues, and attacks/informs legislators when their positions on issues displease him. He carries a big stick in the State Capitol, and knows how to use it.

It's adorable how the Tea Party always talks about Jesus, nonstop, but this is the way they behave. When politics and religion mix, both are destroyed.

I'm no big fan of Cochran, but McDaniels would be a huge embarrassment to our state. When is this state going to wise up, look at the horrible results that decades of voting this way have gotten us, and quit electing these clowns? There's nothing funnier than a Mississippi tea partier. We have one of the lowest tax rates in the country, and we take in over $2 from the fed for every dollar we spend. Being a TEA Partier in Mississippi is like living in your parents' house and slamming the door to your bedroom and screaming you hate them.

Does anyone not see a pattern here? Courthouse break-in, nursing home privacy invasion, etc. wonder what they've done, got away with because they weren't caught?

Clearly these folks believe 'the END justifies the MEANS'

Again, does anyone understand the significance of this courthouse break-in gang?

Dixie,

Then obviously you have never been involved with working elections. The courthouse closes but election commission still works through the night. Boxes are dropped off at back doors. Front doors are locked to prevent folks not related to the election from entering. I guarantee you people were calling Pete Perry to see what was going on, and he wasn't answering the phone.

You people have it in your mind that the courthouse was abandoned, all lights off, and these three plotted to enter. The reality is all the lights are on and the election commissioner Pete "Thad lovin" Perry won't return phone calls. We're it me, I'd enter.

Pete said "I was getting out of my car when I got a call from Janis". Oh really? Coming from where? It's obvious he was JUST AT the courthouse because he lives in hinds.

I love gallo this morning! Chris may win by 10% if Gallo keeps going the way he is. Hopefully JT will continue the barrage.

"What are they doing there at 2:00am?" Lol. That's a question from someone who hasn't a clue about how long it can take to finalize elections.

Chambers is an idiot. His sister is married to Trial Lawyer Dale Currie and his brother sits on the Choctaw Board of Supervisors - a good guy. His family had trouble with him when he was in college. He used to love to party big time! His Dad owned the Western Union in Ackerman for many years.

8:09 am Love your comment!

Just looking at McDaniel supporters election night, I had to wonder how many of those folks are actually dependent on the Feds and just don't know it.

I can just hear the excuses now..." Yes, I've gotten food stamps or help during Katrina but I've paid for it for years" ( cents on the dollar people, do the math) or " I don't believe my employer's dependent on Fed subsidies or tax breaks" ( most of MS's employers get a subsidy or rely on government contracts directly or indirectly).

Bless their hearts!

The question isn't 'why was a courthouse door open at 2am' but 'what was this trio up to being there at that time.
Another odd thing...one of the three is "a consultant for the Mississippi Baptist Christian Action Commission". Does this look like Christian Action?

This woman really is a lunatic:
"Mississippi Tea Party leader Janis Lane thinks the women’s vote is bad for the country."

At 8:30;

I have worked elections. At some time, they stop counting, seal up the ballot boxes and lock the doors with the plan to resume counting the next day. In this case, that was 11:30 Tuesday. I don't know what elections you have worked where, as you allege, a sole election commissioner stays in the locked building alone with the ballots. The building was locked and everyone left. There is no evidence that anyone was in the courthouse until 2:00 Wednesday morning when the Three Stooges entered the courthouse. Pete Perry was not there, the Sheriff's report say even their security had left by that time. Stop making things up.

502 explaineded why the door was open.! PERIOD! is no conspiracy theory-that is ridiculous. your watching too many reruns of X-files. the responsibility lies within the court house. they should have secured the door and communicated it with security. however these folks were not trespassing it is public government property hello??? but if it is true that they left the door open for deliveries then it should have been the responsibility of the court house staff to have a staff member cover the shift for the deliveries. I am NOT a tea party favorite however we need to be open and rational----these were just three people probably trying to get updates on an exciting tight campaign. it is not unusual to be at the court house until the wee hours of the morning on campaigns such as this. so turn off your Scifi tv and quit stirring s***.

if Pete Perry is not a tea party fan, is any one wondering why she called him?

I am 5:02. after that post I saw TV coverage and realized its a secure door on the WEST end. The door I thought was in issue is on the east end.

The west end door is clearly marked as not a public entrance and a access card is required. I use it everyday. However, lately, the door doesn't completely shut on its own and I have both entered and exited several times without using my access card, but making certain it seals after me. So, I buy it that they found the door "propped" open, but its clearly for use by authorized personnel only. The only public entrance to that court house is the front door on Pascagoula street. They were near the sally port for the jail where civilians rarely venture.

1:30 again, there is a "public" entrance on the east side across the street from the Chancery building, but you can't open the door, you have to be allowed in because an access card is still required.

Kudos to June 4 @ 7:04. Im willing to bet you the door wasnt open and they gained entry by some unlawful method. I would expect them or any other criminal to say the door was open. Even if we entertain them in believing that the door was open, at 2 a.m. why in their right mind would enter a courthouse the night after an election and then lock yourself in? (someone with bad/unlawful intentions) Voter I.D. was not meant to fix these types of situations. Im wondering how many other times had they done this and where?

Who paid off whom? Why is the Hinds County break-in being dropped/covered up? This is appalling.

Damn. Not a problem with going into the courthouse - thru an entrance marked for authorized personnel only. At 1 oclock in the morning.

Think I'll go down there tonight and see what looks interesting since that wouldn't break any laws. And with all the high sheriff's folks being with the Blues Brothers and Dan they won't be around anyway. But I'll remember to prop open the door so that I can get out!

Well, if it is ok to be in there after five, why do they have locks on the doors? Evidently Jon Lewis has convinced his buddy Tyrone that he needed to drop this so that Jon's boys that he sent over to the courthouse don't get into trouble.

Tyrone, you got some 'splaining' to do here. No investigation. No harm, no foul. How the hell do you think people in Hinds County think about your being in charge of the courthouse is now?

Yes, you have no security. Your security cameras don't work. Some crook is claiming that they gained entrance through a 'propped open' door. The candidate says your guys let them in - you say they didn't but it would have been ok if they did.

This b/s by the HCSO is almost as terrible as the crap by the McDaniel bunch of bozos.

5:04, June 4 - you don't know what the hell you are talking about. But just like the rest of the folks in your campaign office (and the TP nutjobs) you try to make up facts to fit your claim.

The 'door' is not the two glass doors that are opened to bring in ballot boxes. They were locked - although being glass you could still see inside and know that there wasn't anybody there!) The supposed propped open door is a back entrance behind some mechanical equipment and a dumpster. It is not a public entrance at all.

But thanks for playing. You make the evening interesting to see how stupid some of you apologists can be. Never believe anything done by 'friends' could be wrong - there is always a cover story to spread.

Guess you should have gotten with the three cat burglaries and gotton your story straight with theirs. Except, oooops. They were inside with nothing to do for a couple of hours, and they couldn't get their story straight. So adding a fourth would have really made it difficult.

5:02, and your next couple of posts. They didn't 'walk into an open door'. They wondered around the outside of a public building at 2 oclock in the morning. Found a door that they claim wasn't closed good - it wasn't an open door - and went into the building where nobody was but there were election ballots from the previous day's close election. They were campaign staff and supporters. There is a reason that election materials stay locked up and sealed - to keep folks from stealing an election.

So, in your mind it is ok for them to enter a door they claimed they accidently found open, in the middle of the night, and hang around by themselves with ballot bags everywhere. Guess that sign on the door that says "authorized personnel only" and 'no entrance without an access card' doesn't apply to these folks. Glad to know they are for good constitutional government!

And now that Tyrone has said it is ok, guess everyone can just go into the courthouse whenever they want to - all they have to do is to lie about how they gained entrance and what they didn't do.

I would suggest though, that next time they ought to coordinate their lies - at least get smart about doing something dumb.

i enjoyed the jumping to conclusion of who was with Janus, it seems everyone, all, just assumed it was 3 older GOP TP ladies.
I find the stereotypes on TP minded peoples funny.

Damn shame how the "GOP" has so departed from conservative values that they demonize conservatives by labeling them as "tea party" . Like that is some kind of bad thing? The left is just laughing their asses off as the GOP implodes. Will the real conservatives please stand up?

would it be that much !@#$%^&? trouble to just have a !@#$%^&? debate and leave all this extraneous !@#$%^&? out of it?? (i see no possible positive for anybody other than for the wone to whom it increases views and sells ads)

haley barbour and co. will set this state back a hundred years...

Chris McDaniel's, supporters along with some of his very pushy family members on social media, are the very reason he is losing votes.
