Jackson Jambalaya

Saw this earlier and must say I was a bit chagrinned. It wasn't too long ago that some readers of this very blog were calling Jackson a sactuary city, but in the context of criminals fleeing surrounding jurisdictions, and I admonished them for using the term out of context. Now it turns out that Jackson really is such by the DOJ definition. Shazam! Most of the other areas on the list are pretty darned progressive, so I still find this surprising. I'm assuming that since the DOJ didn't even know who the new mayor is, this goes back to before his time of making Jackson "radical".

You think they would have "googled" the name of the Mayor of Jackson

Since this was Senior's pet cause let's see if Mayor Sloganeer walks his talk and tells the Federales to keep their stinking money.

HOLY COW! Unbelievable (on two counts):

First, that the DOJ doesn't know who the mayor of Jackson is, and
Second, that we're in the same company with THAT list (which, certainly, must be the most liberal list of which anyone could be a part)

I wish the DOJ would do a little tip toeing around in Jack-town to see whazzzuppp. Might make it a little safe place.

Its interesting to find that a black led city would protect illegals largely of Hispanic heritage. In fact a majority of the Hispanic population considers themselves to be white. California has a very very small black population over all. But, Compton is now only 30% black as opposed to 77% earlier. The hispanics have voted blacks out of politics and have oppressed many in black community. This will be nationwide if allowed to continue. Hispanic poll done by USA today in 2011 showed less than 42% of hispanics cared to get along with black population. Look at Houston for example Latino gangs have wiped out large numbers of blacks.

Pretty sure the grant was submitted under Tony's name, therefore it was Jackson's responsibility to update the contact information, also a violation of the grant terms.

Trump's executive order regarding withholding federal funds to "sanctuary cities" has been blocked in every jurisdiction where it has been challenged on sound legal grounds. Regardless of its intent, the executive branch can't determine who gets what funds because Article I of the Constitution gives that power to Congress alone. Once again, like most of Trump's bullshit, this is a bunch of ill-spirited, vacuous hot air with no force of law. But it plays really well to the same people who are going to put Roy Moore into the US Senate in less than a month.

... let's see if Mayor Sloganeer walks his talk ...

Note that both the C-L and JFP have begun a public asking for less pablum, more specifics and some action.

You know who posing this week as the "Editorial Board":

"... it's not immediately clear to us if this [Lumumba] administration is working expeditiously to rectify infrastructure so dilapidated that a dog fell into it and couldn't get out alone. What is the emergency plan?

~~ snip ~~

While that [more Lumumba gum flapping] sounds good, we're also eager to see real-time efforts beyond orange cones and yellow tape to keep children safe."

Then you have Jackson's new DPW Director promising to put his plan in motion to "replace 1 to 2 percent of the infrastructure system every year in order to achieve a brand-new system in the next 50 to 100 years".

Even Harvey wouldn't have been so stupid as to allow a member of his leadership team to make a nearsighted promise like that!

There is something fundamentally incongruous seeing the terms "City of Jackson" and "sanctuary" in the same sentence.

Jackson did this on their own.
The whole damn state disagrees with them but that is why they are so dead set on staying a sanctuary city.
Maybe being a sanctuary city is not such a bad idea. That would mean no more federal money. The city would have to come up with money on their own. Maybe then the citizens of such a city would elect honest knowledgeable leaders instead of crooked racist hacks.

Didn't the Feds just lose a case in Philadelphia trying to withhold grant money over them be a sanctuary city. You would think they would learn.

Louis LeFleur said..."Most of the other areas on the list are pretty darned progressive"

I fixed it for you, ""Most of the other areas on the list are in an alternate reality"

10:39, you're describing the REALITY of TODAY.

But around here, "The DREAM of the SIXTIES is alive in JACKSON" (a variant of Portlandia's 'The Dream of the Nineties is alive in Portland' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX8BsX3IIa4).

Jackson is where worn-out ideologies (and people who still embrace those ideologies) go to retire/rot/die. That's why Jackson is attracting maggots which previously feasted on the rotting corpses of Detroit and New Orleans.

The rules governing the Real World have NOTHING to do with Jacktown, as clearly demonstrated by Tony Yarber's recent homoerotic spanking video, featuring Yarber's fraternity paddle (and the shapely boohiney of a conveniently-cute car burglar).

So, "in the mind-SET of" Jacktown, Hispanics are still Marxist "brothers in the struggle against 'The Man'". Because it's still 1969, Joan Baez is still on the Pop Charts, and Dolemite movies are still playing in new-release theaters.

This idea of not following immigration laws is a good example of another Dimocratic policy for which the Republicans would be called all sorts of racists if they adopted this stance. Clearly, most illegals in this area are Hispanic and the jobs they take from US citizens are disproportionately taken from black folks. So if say Thad were to say we aren't going to enforce immigration laws, then someone like Bennie would be quick to say - He's just trying to take jobs from the poor ol hard working black man and give to these folks who break into our country illegally. But because the Dimocrats favor this idea, blacks say nothing. Hmmm

"But it plays really well to the same people who are going to put Roy Moore into the US Senate in less than a month."

As opposed to those who favor Biden running for President or Franken retaining his seat? You really look foolish when you pick and choose among sexual deviants and pedophiles. Are you sure you want to take that position?

"You think they would have "googled" the name of the Mayor of Jackson"

Are you actually hollow-headed enough to think clerical employees at that level are going to use Google to verify a list that should have been updated by those positions on the list?

How did Austin Texas stay off the list?

It takes a village of idiots to want criminals to come to their city. Actually, these court decisions are made by far left ideological judges. The federal government withholds grant money all the time from local governments that do not comply with federal law. For example, a city must have certain affirmation action plans or lose grants. So it's legal.

Psst . . . the vast majority of the area’s Hispanic population is in Ridgeland.

If law enforcement really wanted to arrest the illegal population in the metro area simply drive by any soccer field on a Sunday and there they are.

"Psst . . . the vast majority of the area’s Hispanic population is in Ridgeland."

Naturally. The work for 'these people' is north of County Line Road. Where do you expect them to live. There are NO apartment buildings in Madison and nine to a room have to live somewhere, I guess.

But, don't overlook 'Little Mexico' in Canton. Take a drive up to the City of Lights and follow an 'on foot Hispanic'. It's a damned third world country. Also don't overlook that this massive slum, although in the middle of Canton, is not part of the city, but is David Bishop's county district.

Sixteen months ago it was on his radar and he claimed he was going to bring it up to code (seventy five slum trailers). But he got distracted by cash transactions from developers.
