Long Hot Summer for Mitzi

Judgement Day approaches for one-time Atlanta and Jackson power broker Mitzi Bickers.  The Atlanta Constitution-Journal reported:


The federal investigation into corruption at Atlanta City Hall under the administration of former Mayor Kasim Reed continues despite disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, U.S. Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak said Tuesday.

Now that grand juries have resumed their work, Pak said, “there are activities that are planned in the upcoming months.”...

The probe has been ongoing at least since 2015, or more than two years before Pak was appointed as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia. Seven people so far have pleaded guilty to charges, Pak said. Two others have been indicted thus far, including a former executive at an engineering firm that performed work on airport and watershed contracts....

The biggest case by far, however, is now scheduled to go to trial in September when Pak’s office will attempt to prove that a mastermind behind some of the bribery schemes was Mitzi Bickers, a former city official and political operative who played a key role in Reed’s election.

The complex case against Bickers, a minister and well-connected political operative who worked at City Hall from 2010 to 2013, spans a dozen charges and involves allegations of pay-to-play contracting in Atlanta and Jackson, Miss...
 The CEOs, Elvin R. “E.R.” Mitchell Jr. and Charles P. Richards Jr., have already pleaded guilty to conspiring to pay $2 million bribes to Bickers, who allegedly helped the contractors win some $17 million in snow removal and sidewalk contracts. The men have agreed to testify against Bickers, who has pleaded not guilty.... Rest of article.

You people don't understand that this is how prosperity ministry works. These blessings are annointed by a higher power. People who don't receive God's blessings suffer jealousy and contempt. What you are witnessing is persecution by a worldly authority. In the end, the power of the blood of Jesus will prevail. Not only will his children be set free but he will multiply the loaves and fishes of his servant shepherds.

Jackson politics don't play. The real playa's know where the money is. We got schemed by the same con men as Atlanta. That's big time.

"prosperity ministry" is just another name for "materialism." I suspect it would be easier for these people to be shoved through the eye of a needle . . .

a contract for ''snow removal'' in atlanta?
that one dont pass the smell test.
a conspiracy so big they need a flow chart to explain it?
mitizi should have stayed in jackson.
but everybody knows its better to be a white collar criminal in hot-lanta, rather than this third world backwater called jackson.

Seems like they do shit in a timely manner over yonder. What's wrong with our system and the inability to at least seem to be trying?

So who's responsible for Neel-Schaffer and their ridiculous design of the Capitol Street two-way boondoggle? And the Farish Street scam? And the Convention Center? And...?
Jackson has been infected by "stupid" for decades and, as a result, quite a few folks enriched themselves in the process. And now the goose that laid all the golden eggs is pretty much barren.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
