Tune In Tomorrow

 Hinds County District 2 Supervisor David L. Archie is not going away quietly.  


The word flying around downtown is Archie's replacement, Supervisor-Elect Anthony Smith, will hire Johnson as his Special Projects Officer. 

One little tidbit from the MAS meeting.  Smith was telling everyone he was the "David Archie Slayer."  ;-)

Is inserting "Hon" in front of one's name similar to finishing sentences with "right?"

He has been telling everyone that he knows what’s going on. As a lifelong citizen of Hinds County I can remember when the roads were maintained, the right of ways were cut and even prisoners were used. We had very little to no potholes, there was a “mosquito truck” that operated twice per week, ditches cleaned out to prevent flooding, and people had pride in their jobs. The road foreman lived down the road from where I grew up and he knew everyone was going to ask him any questions about maintenance before they would go to the county supervisor for our district. There happened to be an investigation in the mid 70’s about certain County Supervisors in Mississippi and the FBI conducted it. Any wrongdoers were sent to jail. Somewhere in the 90’s things took a change and it wasn’t good. I live near Raymond and it’s not a good situation. The county cannot properly maintain the roads, we have potholes as bad as jackson, bridges are closed in numerous places, certain roads where county employees are being maintained to a very much higher standard than anyone else’s, county vehicles are not properly maintained due to the county cannot pay its bills. A new sign at the entrance to the Hinds Parkway in Byram at a cost of $250,000 cannot be completed due to no funds to pay the contractor who had to pull off the job, the issue with Waste Management making us use their 96 gallon containers was shoved in our face without us being notified (BS if we were notified), money has been spent with Covid funds that do not relate to anything near what it was intended for. And you all think David Archie is crazy? By the way, I’m a white middle aged male. We haven’t had decent leadership in over 30 years. Go figure. And Madison and Rankin you need to heed my warning.

So the same old corruption continues even with new supervisors in place.

The hinds county board of supervisors already screwed over us residents of hinds county with the new garbage contract.

If Archie and Smith ever get into a physical confrontation,
my money is on David L.

After all ... we know David L. can tear-up a "COVID secure" plexiglass
Board Room in about 55 seconds.

>We had very little to no potholes(...)

That was still bandaids over bullet wounds. That chicken came home to roost with the recievership of the water system and the resulting exposure of all the well past due water mains needing to be replaced about 40 years ago. That's my only nit pick.

You got that right buddy! I recently left Madison county and have watched Gerald Steen practice his underhanded tactics since he was on the Board of Alderman in Ridgeland. Now that I'm in Rankin county I'm starting to see some of the same, though it's not yet as bad as Madison and Hinds.

DANG, this is good stuff. David Archie is onto some good things after all-

I am the 1:02 poster. I need to make a correction to my date. The FBI sting occurred in the 1980’s not 1970’s. One thing I might want to add that I did not was, there was a time when the FBI would actually investigate and do their jobs. That’s how the 57 supervisors from 26 counties were caught in the Operation Pretense which actually occurred in the 1980’s. They fear doing this now because they will be called racists.

Tony Smith is hiring Toni Johnson
Wanda Evers is hiring Othor Cain
Debra Dixon is being rumored to hire Patty Patterson.

If Smith is hiring Johnson it needs be pointed out and Smith needs to go.

Archie seeking that PERS

It’s all falling together now. County Administrator and the Hinds County Public Works Director are retiring. How convenient. Are they thinking to themselves “sssshhhhhhh, maybe they won’t find the missing funds!” Sorry folks. This affects a lot of people. Hinds County has the highest tax rate in the State, nothing to show for it, and it’s obvious the grant money for the Hinds County Parkway, Covid Funds and tax collections have been misspent. So what does Smith have to gain by “hiring” this woman? If it’s to teach him how to steal without getting caught then he is already too late. That train left the station and this house of cards is about to fall. If the FBI would do their job we wouldn’t be in this shape we are currently in. These people are not scared to get caught.

FBI commenter-since when did election commissioners
manage county funds? If they did- why didn’t they get
pulled in with the string of supervisors in the 80s?
Supervisors have fiduciary responsibility- not a small
fry like Johnson. Since no one on this page will say it-
the trick is to railroad a small peon by lying- while
the real crooks like Graham , Archie, Brett run away with
the bank. I’m willing to bet Archie has county funds and
Property with him. I also heard he’s used county funds
to pay his tab for food and alcohol- with the county
credit card. Did y’all see the unqualified folks Archie hired?
When we wanna talk facts, and which elected roles
so what in county government- respond. How did she
Steal all this money with restitution of $25k?

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.

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.
