StokesRadio

This week on StokesRadio, the  Jackson Ward 3 City Councilman discusses his meeting with the FBI, the garbage contract, and of course, suing the Mayor.  One thing the show won't be is boring.  Enjoy. 

The good stuff starts at 9:00.

Someone commented last week about the parallels between the crack cocaine scandal involving Marion Berry, the former mayor of Washington D.C., & Stokes' claim Lumumba is on hardcore drugs. If Stokes came away from his interview with the FBI with the clear impression the FBI is well aware of our mayor's dope usage & connections, I don't doubt Kennuf's gut instincts. A groundbreaking interview, thanks to all involved.

Jackson court blessing cancel any and all allegations, right?

Lumumba claiming as fact that Council selected twice weekly pickup with 96 gallon can but nowhere can I find when they communicated this and doubt it is the truth.

If the mayor is smoking dope as Stokes is saying, there is a simple solution. Since he thinks he has the power to act without council approval (garbage contract), why doesn’t he just make pot legal in Jackson.

When Lumumba challenged him to take a drug test, Stokes did. Lumumba never stepped up. Hmmmmm.

Let’s get these dope boys off the street in Jackson and we will have witnesses of who is doing what at the highest levels of Government in Jackson. They are going to sing for a deal with the Feds.

Until the city Administrators get the courage and give the go ahead to go after these dope boys, I’m with Mr Kenneth I Stokes! Mr Stokes has street creed and knows the dope connection to City Hall.

This Crime continues to happen only in Jackson and not the surrounding counties of Madison and Rankin!

It ain’t to hard to lock up and prosecute these dope boys!!! Unless Mr Mayor, you are scared!

Stokes you the man!

Honest question, did anyone else think Stokes sounded like he was about to fall asleep while he was on air ?

Had he been awake all night ?
Did he have way too many Bloody Mary cocktails this morning ?

How can you preach to the fiends that they should quit when (Marion) Berry up in Washington smoking that shit.

I know your kind. You blame everything on drug dealers.

Well, listen up, cause what I’m about to tell you is true: It’s bigger than Nino Brown.

Councilman Stokes is using a red herring to deflect the attention off himself and the question of why he, of all people, is fighting hard to prevent a black owned business that was low bidder from getting the garbage contract. Mayor Lumumba is not using drugs addictively. No drug addict in active addiction can speak eloquently and extemporaneously on a whole host of public safety related issues as he did at a crime summit meeting held recently that I attended.

I can understand why Councilman Foote may be against Richards, but Kenneth I. Stokes? Makes no sense. Don’t forget, the lowest bid Richards made under all the scenarios was significantly lower than the lowest bid WM made under all the scenarios. This is the inconvenient fact that the WM lovers won’t talk about.

Stokes predicts that Jackson will suffer an outbreak of the bubonic plague if Richards Disposal gets the garbage collection contract - he says garbage will pile up everywhere because Richard's will screw things up so much. Somebody better tell Dobbs it may be too early to quit.

Can the city council request the mayor take a drug test? I mean city employees I’m sure have to but who has the power to request the mayor take one?

Did he say "Heavy Herb", as in peg leg Heavy Herb?
I thought he was long gone after Herb was involved in a shooting.

If you will recall KF posted that all the Hinds chancery judges refused themselves. The MS Supreme Court appointed a special Chancery judge.

Not true. WM had the lowest bid on the no-garbage cart option.

Mayor Lumumba is not using drugs addictively.

Wow. An admission that Lumumba is using drugs but in the author's opinion Lumumba is not addicted to said drugs.

No drug addict in active addiction can speak eloquently and extemporaneously on a whole host of public safety related issues as he did at a crime summit meeting held recently that I attended.

Total bullshit. Addicts and alcoholics can be fully functioning. Meanwhile it must not have been a serious 'summit' because Lumumba knows nothing about public safety.

Don’t forget, the lowest bid Richards made under all the scenarios was significantly lower than the lowest bid WM made under all the scenarios.

NOPE.

Anonymous said...

WM may have had the lowest bid on the no cart option, but who had the lowest bid, period, cart or no cart: Richards.

I have no idea if Mayor Lumumba occasionally smokes pot, lots of people do, but I know he’s not a drug addict. Everybody who knows the Mayor well knows that he doesn’t have a drug problem.

Again, why is Kenneth I. Stokes dying in the ditch to thwart a black owned company from getting the garbage contract? Making a false accusation against the Mayor about an unrelated issue is not answering this simple question.

Both Ole Miss and Jackson State earned bids to the NCAA tournament and you’re posting this garbage. FOH

Here's the deal...The powers that be are just sitting back saying hey Richards can be the lowest BECAUSE they will not be doing any work....

5:12-Thanks, Mayor.

Methinks the issue here, as espoused by Councilman Stokes, is that the “wrong blacks” are getting their pockets lined under the Mare’s preferred vendor.

Anonymous said...

Red Herring @ 5:12 that is not true at all. WM was lowest and best initially. Then Drake changed the RFP to include the 96 gal carts, which apparently Sista Rukia has a hand in, "allegedly". That allowed Richards the opportunity to come back to the table and adjust their bid.

@2:37 PM - "smoking dope" doesn't necessarily mean spoking pot. Meth, coke, and heroin can be smoked.

How can this man have a law degree and talk as he does? His thinking process does not reflect an educated man. Who helped him cheat in school?

Anonymous said...

Do y'all not know there are at least 14 legal drugs that can result in a false positive for illegal drugs.

Zoloft and other anti-anxiety drugs as well as something as benign as poppy seeds.

No drug test is good if it's not " controlled" anyway.

You don't like the mayor because you didn't like his father.
I don't think he's been perfect. I do think he's had to deal with a long entrenched pattern of corruption and more than a few dumber than rocks people in city government. But, he's a helluva lot better than our last mayor or Melton!

I like when people say “but they were the lowest bidder” they obviously have never dealt with the lowest bidders and the disasters they leave behind. These are the same types of who think “military grade” is top notch.

Not all lawyers argue in court. Most of them write.
Not everyone who is smart is good at extemporaneous speaking or speeches.

There are many people who aren't academically talented but who are verbally glib or have good speech writers.

That is why there are classes taught at our community colleges on making speeches.

Some of you really do live in a bubble of poor observation and limited real world experience.

I say this with no ill-intent, I sincerely hope the remaining Jackson residents enjoy their homes.

We should all live in a place with elected leaders that accurately represent us.

I had to move to get that, but clearly this is what the majority wants so I accept that and wish them well. No snark.

Quite telling comments you are sharing. By trying to be careful and precise you've exposed Lumumba as a drug user.

Anonymous said...

If these responders think this garbage ordeal is the biggest problem in Jackson, think again. I think the current best financial opportunity right now would be buying a “For Sale By Owner” sign and stick it in concrete (to keep it from getting ripped off) and hope for the best.

Anonymous said...

10:31 - False positives (as you refer to them) are the reason MROs (medical review officers) are in the process. I don't have time to explain that to you.

But, I'm lovin' your comment that 'he's better than Melton or the last mayor'.

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. 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. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
