Jackson Jambalaya

This is creepy

Soros would not drop that kind of money on a candidate unless Lumumba asked him to. Shows you what we will get if Owens wins.

Darla and Stan are both highly capable, which of course lessens their chances of winning.

No wonder my mail box has been so full of Owens cards. Wow. That's almost as much as Waller has raised for a state-wide race.

This election could be a real tipping point for Hinds County. It is so hard for me to fathom that we could get a worse DA than RSS and also lose the board of supervisors to Bennie Thompson. So many white people in the county are all-in voting for or against Tate or looking at other state-wide GOP primaries that have zero bearing on their day-to-day lives. Meanwhile.....

If you are conservative or moderate, you don't get to vote against this move by Soros unless you vote democrat!

I'm voting democrat in the primary in Hinds County. I guess that eliminates my chances of running for state office one day (Sam Britton)ha, but Hinds County better wake up and realize how important this election is. You want to have a say for sheriff? DA? Supervisor? Vote democrat on Tuesday.

Just this week we have seen Bennie Thompson, Kenny Stokes and now George Soros chiming in on little ole Hinds County.

Who gives a crap about state treasurer or secretary of state when this crew is coming for us?

Waller lives a few houses down from me in ME Jackson. He's one of the nicest people I've met. Unfortunately he raised little money and has absolutely no chance of winning. As far as Jody Owens is concerned... He's a wolf in sheep's clothing and I'm all for Darla.pppp

Because of it's demographic makeup Jackson and Hinds County will be an excellent laboratory for ultra liberal and socialist strategies. If enough of these extreme cadres can be put in office, they can implement their agendas in a large enough forum to attract national attention. If they fail, which is quite likely it won't matter because the whole world knows Jackson and Hinds County was failing anyway. It's an excellent opportunity. Nothing lost. Everything to gain.
We are about to become a "sanctuary county"

Hinds County is not failing. There's been signs of hope the last 6 years (coincidentally since Stokes quit the board out of frustration).

Come back and ask me again after Tuesday and I might change my mind.

Darla announced at a forum at the Art Museum that she has had two bouts of Cancer over the last two years. Much respect to her for fighting the good fight but we can’t elect someone who knows they will die in office. We did that with the Mayor’s father and everyone knew he was terminally ill. Vote Stan for DA.

Owens spent 30k of his own money in his race which is more than Stanley raised all together. If you want to support someone do it with your wallets.

To be a Jackson blog you do not understand Jackson politics. Voting for Stanley is like voting for Foster for Governor. It is a wasted vote. Like it or not Robert Smith is loved in Hinds County. He beat the brakes off of Stanley for years ago and legitimate or not he went on to prosecute Robert three times. Black folks see this as the abuse on the system since he took him to Rankin County when he couldn’t convict Smith in Hinds County. Hello - To Kill a Mocking Bird Mocking Bird. Hinds County voters do not forget.

Of course you conveniently leave out that RSS was trying to throw in jail prosecutors and a judge in an attempt to protect his drug dealer friends.

Cancer is not Darla’s probably. It’s that she boast representing 1000 felony cases in her career and will have 1000 conflicts. I can live with Stan or Jody. I have worked with both and they are both reasonable.

Aren't the George Soros conspiracy theories considered sort of antisemitic?

Soros is the lowest form of life existing! He’s more un American than you can find anywhere.

12:58 that’s a horrible post. Shame on you.

Sadly, very very few people in the county (any county) understand the importance of a DA election. Everybody wants to talk about sheriff or governor, but in this county the DA is the biggest issue we have. Wake up people! Darla or Stanley please!

You are missing the point. A first year law student knows you can’t lose an election then prosecute the guy who beat you. If it was a case Guest would have taken it in Rankin County.

11:48 - did you intentionally skip over the more important (and recent) statewide candidate that has voted in every Democratic primary -- BILL WALLER - including the most recent state election? Pulling out a two decade old vote of an elected Republican official who is now running for a down-ticket race for you example seems strange (unless, of course, you happen to support Mr. Waller).

Considering that many of our elected officials have 'converted' from their prior days as Democrats I am sure that there are several that have voted in a democratic primary in their history.

But the fact that a candidate running for Governor who has never openly claimed to be a Republican until his qualifying statement was filed; who never voted in the Republican primary during a state election seems to be a case of omitting the most obvious example while you were trying to cast shade on a lower elected Republican official.

Owens will always be accountable to the Butler Snow crew. Just another attempt for Lord Snow to control Jackson. A

@12:28 "Signs of hope the last 6 years" ... are you serious? Name 1!

@ 1:44
Surely your aware that Soros is Hungarian... his own country of Hungary is very conservative and they have blocked any politician from being funded by Soros. Many many republicans revive Soros find g as well. Paul Ryan took loads of his money

I don't know much about any of these folks running. Can anyone talk about why Darla is a good choice?

Did someone post that there were, in Jackson, 'signs of hope in the past six years'? That's when I switched to another thread since one had gone to shit.

George Soros? Why does he care about Mississippi? How is he even alive? Isn’t he in his 90’s?

I hate George Soros' politics and the fact that he sees fit to pour his wealth into liberal political causes. On the other hand it is HIS money and I think he may be a person of character. This is from the WIKI piece under his name:

. . . his family survived the war by purchasing documents to say that they were Christians. Later that year at age 14, Soros posed as the Christian godson of an official of the collaborationist Hungarian government's Ministry of Agriculture, who himself had a Jewish wife in hiding. On one occasion, rather than leave the 14-year-old alone, the official took Soros with him while inventorizing a Jewish family's confiscated estate. Tivadar saved not only his immediate family but also many other Hungarian Jews, and Soros later wrote that 1944 had been "the happiest [year] of his life," for it had given him the opportunity to witness his father's heroism. In 1945, Soros survived the Siege of Budapest, in which Soviet and German forces fought house-to-house through the city.

The happiest year in his life? He was fair game for a gas chamber, along with his dad, mom, pet cat, everybody. I guess I have to say I admire his character. Does that make me a "limosine liberal?"

Anonymous at 5:09 PM,

Are you for foreign meddling and influence in US elections at all levels?

Soros gave Roger Wicker less than $5000

Dear Mr/Ms Messick,

I only approve of foreign meddling and influence in U.S. elections if it helps my candidate.

George Soros is an American last time I checked. I sure do not approve of his meddling but consistent with constitutional law political money is "speech." First Amendment says his money can say whatever he wants it to say.

I know it doesn't seem right that a non-Christian foreign born person can be a real American (and it doesn't to me either) but that is how this country works. Isn't it?

@ 5:54
Remember the U.S. has been busted meddling in foreign elections plenty of times. Most recently The Obama administration was caught meddling in the election in Israel and backed the losing candidate.

Signs of hope....$1.5 billion plant that will employ 2,000, a board that terminated multiple unscrupulous contracts, and roads in every direction from my house being paved. Better than the last two decades for sure. Why do you think Bennie is getting involved?

Soros survived by fingering his Jewish neighbors to the Gestapo. He admitted to it nearly 30 years ago on 60 Min.

Keep in mind Soros also funds the same "criminal justice reform" bs as Joel Bomgar, Grant Callen, and AFP.

Those trying to prop up Soros as some prince of benevolence cloaked in good intentions, simply do not know Soto’s past, present or future. I get beyond the cotton candy drivel that the progressive stenographers and influencers does not take much effort to discover all about Soros and his disciple sons. His image is heavily protected because his money and policies control the democrat party, just as they covered for Weinstein, Epstein and The Clintons. Even without the histrionics and analysis of Soros the man, one does not have to wonder why Soros is investing in 34 DAs across the nation or the outcome of their performance as DAs.
Look no further than Kim Fox, of the Jussie Smollett travesty, to see a Soros DA.

Prepare for the suspension of quality of life laws - what’s a little public defecation and nudity?
Say goodbye to “minor property thefts” - why worry about shoplifting under $600?

Do your research on Soros, better yet look up Soros’ dA’s, no sane person can do so and think any city, much less one in Jackson’s current state, improves under a Soroscowned politician.

All these people talking about George Soros pouring money into Mississippi politics

While the Koch brothers do the exact same thing with the Mississippi Republican led legislature. Hell, a majority of the bills passed the last session were written by conservative advocacy groups they find.

But we're just going to ignore them?

4:19, I think the comment was about signs of life in Hinds County, not Jackson. And yes, there are a few specks here and there.

As much money as the Chamber,Kochs and all the other Republican dark money groups have thrown around Missippi, this is chicken feed.

@12:24 AM - spot on.

The Koch PACs don't want to turn us into a socialist nation. That is exactly what Soros intends to do.

The take-home message of this thread should be that one depersonalizes the opposition at his/her peril. I got zero use for Mr. Soros, his politics, his religion, his bullshit tens of billions of dollars, his degrees from the London School. Whatever you got, I loathe him and all like him . . . but that does not mean he is not smart, formidable and (perhaps, only perhaps) a man of character.

Who incidentally changes his mind on a dime. Read "Fooled by Randomness." And on that topic cf. John Maynard Keynes for loyalty to ideas.

It is stupid to underestimate people based on CBS's 60 Minutes and other entertainment shows/newspapers. The fact is Mr. Soros survived being gassed and went on to make billions of dollars. Just lucky? Maybe so.

The kochs brothers back a large number of democrats also. Remember they didn't back Trump and have pledged money to support only democrat presidential candidates in 2020.

This blog spot has several comments it skims through and select ones that go along with its point of views and only posts those. Why post a comment section if you’re not going to allow the viewers to read ALL of them? Just like a red neck Mississippian with its one sided views.

Good grief!
Soros has been painted as a boogey man with false stories. His family , with his help , created fake identity cards for Jews during WWII so they could escape Germany. He's contributed to both parties.
I hate PACs too. I hate that those outside a State or County can interfere in our elections. But, blame the conservative appointees on the Supreme Court for sanctioning something that dilutes the power of individual votes.

Soros is a big proponent of open borders and a universal currency. He uses his money and politics to create crisis, bankrupt countries, and wreak havoc to get his way. He also does this for his personal financial gain by speculation. The Koch's may give a lot of money, but they aren't evil with it. He is wanting to get DA's and politicians to change policy to fit his agenda through massive amounts of cash. I understand someone giving some money to possibly need a favor here and there, but his motives are one likely to disrupt and destroy this country.

Kochs brothers donated massive sums of money to Chuck Schumer and pledged large sums of money to the 2020 democrat candidate as opposed to Republican. Democrats have received money from the Koch brothers for the past 15 yrs. Don't be stupid. It's both parties.

Look at George Soros bought DA's around the country. They all have a "soft on crime" approach to the justice system. They had to take that vow in order to get Soros money. Another characteristic of Soros DA's is they have mass firings when they take office. So Hinds County prosecutors ya'll better start looking for another job.

The people screaming about Waller voting in a democratic primary obviously don't understand Mississippi's primary system as well as hinds county. Hell, Lester Spell had to run as a democrat for Agriculture Commissioner because of Hinds County and those like it. He is far from a democrat. Fear tactics from the Reeve's camp is all that is.

Let us not forget that Tate Reeves Finance Chairman is Billy VanDevender who penned a 3 page letter to the MS River Commission speaking out against the backwater pumps that have thousands of acres underwater, leaving many people homeless and without work in the South Delta since early spring. This is fact, not a scare tactic.

This is why Darla is a good choice: prosecutors in Mississippi never have to learn the rules because almost 100% of the judges in this state, most of whom are ex-prosecutors, let them do anything they want. Only defense attorneys have to learn the rules of evidence and the uniform criminal rules. After RSS, Hinds needs someone who will just prosecute the many criminals making Jackson a terrible place to live. After that ridiculously huge task is done, someone can start talking about restorative justice. And there's so much bad to say about Southern Poverty I wouldn't know where to begin.

I just got a job worj3ing for a subsidiary of Soros Group in Dubai. You plague rats can drown with this sinking shit bargeof a state! Im going to go live in Elysium!

Of the three candidates, Stan Alexander IS the prosecutor. Whichever of the other two loses, they would never be sought by a DA or AG as a member of their prosecution litigation team. Stanley will. He has made his enemies, especially with his misguided vendetta against RSS, but he also has a well-deserved reputation as a tough litigator and dedicated prosecutor. Neither of the other candidates can approach that. Hinds County needs a relentless prosecutor or crime will continue to spiral out of control. It won't get one with Owens or Palmer.

I live in northeast Jackson down the road from waller. I'm as conservative as they come. However, I vote in democrat primaries in Hinds co only bc I understand the logistics. This is how sheriff McMillan was defeated. The democrats knew these rich white Republican would vote Republican and help elect a loser like Tyrone. Just one example.

This all brings us back to the need for open primaries. How do we get it done? I am willing to help on this because closed primaries are about as un-American as anything can be.

You gooopers are trained to cringe at the mention of the soros name, the rest of the country has written this s-hole welfare state off, for the last 50 years under the weight con-serv-artist hate and corruption look at the ads on tv these people don't even have to run on a record down here holler about being a fake conservative xtian, show a truck, say something about supporting that idiot trump, and stump humpers line up for these corrupt fake con-artist like they are actually working to deliver this state from the pits of poverty that it dwells in. Hell a lot of problems in this state comes from the absolute bone head suicide vest stubbornness of the fake con-artist xtian right constantly shooting itself in the foot and then scape goating everyone except the sell-out shills that keep the state in its impoverished state, a lot of you have been living in $hit so long you don't even realize while folks outside the state wonder how anyone even still lives here.

@ 10:00
Regardless of what those on here say... Mississippi is totally ass backwards on nearly every front of society. It's amazing to me after living here for 7 years just how far back the entire state truly is. Politics isn't really the full reason why. In my opinion it's due to culture... everyone is under the impression the states 4 year university system is a sports only institution. The priority of quality education is nil. Those students that do go to a top notch school seem to never return and thus we have major brain drain. This is a large factor for our mess as a whole.

9:36 .."but he also has a well-deserved reputation as a tough litigator and dedicated prosecutor.".. really? he couldn't even get RSS.. he got 3 strikes.. he's out..NEXT! (4 including his failure to beat him fairly in an election) he's probably nervous of loosing his job when the next AG comes in...and he's supposed to be savior? lmao

I was voting for Owens until I read this. Anyone who gets in bed with the devil’s money is dirty

I was sent a friend request by a guy on Facebook who is said to be the paid political hit man running these stories, I must say it is very intersting under the alias Demond Douglas

Soros is funding the anti-gun groups with million$. His goal is to turn the U.S. into a socialist nanny state.

Anyone who thinks differently should get their cranium out of their exhaust pipe.

10:23 He couldn't get RSS because despite your low opinion of him as a DA, RSS wasn't guilty of a crime. It was a misguided vendetta, never should have done it...O.K. But his prosecution of real crimes should not be ignored. As for not beating him in an election...if Smith ran for re-election against these 3 he would probably win.

O I wish I could vote in Hinds, I vote with Soros in a minute. Anything to curve Gun Violence is ok with me.
No body I hunt with has a automatic rifle, real sportsman wouldn't be caught with one.

Soros funds DA's across the country that DO NOT ENFORCE THE LAW. He sows chaos in the streets and profits by shorting currencies.

You are free to depart @10:20 AM just as quickly as you arrived. Your need to hector as if you are some sort of expert indicates you've acclimated well.

Regardless of what those on here say ... you're just another anonymous blowhard.

Jody Owens is a good guy and a terrific lawyer.

But, hey... Soros is a man of character.


Know this:

1. He is not an American. A "citizenship" document changes nothing.
2. He is not a Jew, but will be when convenient.
3. He does not have a permanent home.
4. His country of birth does not want him, and for good reason.
5. His intent is to destroy, not build.

Funny, on the Hinds Election thread there were multiple comments about nobody caring about what happens in Hinds County. $500,000 and 65 comments later.....

It would probably be a great bet that the majority of voters in Hinds county have no clue who Soros or the Koch brothers are.

Watch out Republicans. The Jewish boogeyman is coming to get you. Better not go to sleep or you might not wake up the same. These are tough times to be a white Christian in this country with all the persecution you guys suffer. Can you imagine if your billionaire overloads were faced to pay the same tax rates as everyone else? Oh the horror.

Electing Owens hastens Jackson's bankruptcy and take over by the State. So maybe that is a good thing.

At least he is using his money for a rightous cause.

@ 2:23
I've known Jody for over 20 years... he's a nice guy but... saying he's a great lawyer is serious overreach. He's a lawyer yes. Is he a good lawyer not really. I do like him as a person and his kids are good kids. I am not voting for him however.
