Jackson Jambalaya

Will it be a candlelight meeting?

They can't even get the state abbreviations correct. If they aren't smart enough to do that, what else are they not too smart about?

Transparency as in hiding EPA warnings? That man is a JOKE!

Jackson, Michigan? Wow….

If I don’t know better, I’d think this was an article from The Onion or Babylon Bee

That's a joke, right?

Ironic how these organizations don't conduct any due diligence to determine whether or not a given speaker has any real world experience actually delivering results. Here they are featuring an individual who is arguably one of the worst Mayors in Mississippi's history, regardless of municipality, and then asking him to discuss compliance and transparency where he has, at best, earned a letter grade of 'F' during his many years in office. Chokwe Antar Lumumba is a total failure.

The program cites "US Top Cities Mayoral" guests.

Should somebody send a note to these folks advising them that Chokwe represents the USA's leader in per capita homicides. Just as a program footnote, maybe.

I know Choc reads this blog, so I'd like to remind him that luggage coming and going is inspected for contraband.

Transparency? That's funny. Compliance? That's hysterical. Does Puerto Rico know anything about Chalklines??

His junket includes a tour of the Bacardi factory.

certainly he knows that the US can extradict from Puerto Rico. He should have taken an invitation to somewhere like the Malvadies or Vanautu

I figured he’d be out of town Monday.

Glad he’s going to a conference on Ethics, Transparency, and Compliance. It’s about time.

The grifter mayor goes on another tour.

I understand Adrian Perkins lost his last election due to five DUI tickets that Shreveport police covered up.

D-list junket.

Hmmm, Jackson, MI... Is he running a Michigan town into the ground too? This conference seems like a clown show on all fronts.

He should be in the audience not behind a podium.

ill tell you exactly what he is doing there.
in 2015, in the waning days of obamas 2nd term the us congress passed a law called PROMESA which was a custom made law just to allow pourta rico to file what amounted to a chapter 7 BANKRUPTCY, liquidation and discharge about 80 billion, yes thats billion with a B, dollars . none of the 80 billion will be paid back.



pourta rico is a US territory and is a bigger welfare basket case than the mississippi delta

benny thompson would love it there. Lumumba is there to have the pourta ricans show him how to do the same thing to his little socialist utopia called jackson ms.

never herd of this? well , It was kept real quiet. dont take my word for it........look it up on wiki.

the united states congress then turned around and tried to do the exact same for the US VIRGIN ISLAND who owed about 2 billion , but thank god trump managed to stop that once he took office in 2016. the corruption in those two territorial government is beyond belief , but hey, lumumba wants to learn from the best.

So how much will this shit cost us?

I can't decide if this "expo" reeks more of corruption or communism.

Given that it's the height of hurricane season, it's probably one of the cheapest places he could go. You'd have to pay me big money to travel to the island in late August.

Hey Kingfish, how's Lamumbaflapalips going to survive a trip like this without his phone? Did the Feds give it back to him? I've been hoping for some juicy nuggets to be discovered.

Hey let Michigan have him

grifter extraordinaire

could an arrest and passport grab intervene?

How is His Incompetency qualified to speak, especially on these topics? H. R. Puf’n’stuff had more success than him. Heck, even Mayor McCheese caught the Hamburgler sometimes. Chalklines only fails and whines.

I lived in Puerto Rico for a year and nothing down there would surprise me. With the corruption, millions of dollars lost, horrible work force the mayor of Jackson should be welcome and looked up to.

What the hell???

How can it be Labumbla made it through a minute and 28 seconds of gumbumping without inserting an upspeak “right?” at the conclusion of every other sentence?

Buh-bye. Don’t hurry home.

Fun fact: The Michigan State Penitentiary is in Jackson, Michigan.

Would love to see the Mayor’s travel expenses during his 2 terms as Mayor. Seems he’s on out of town junkets more than in town!

I wonder if baby Chock talks to mayor Tiffany Henyard. I would pay to listen to a conversation. Especially when they start talking about how great they are.

this is where he spends the tax payer funds that should be going to things like lawn care at the cemetery

IT'S A TRAP!

Wasn't PR beat up by hurricane?

Has the mayor ever brought back one idea from these conferences that has helped Jackson? Name one.

700,000 just lost power in PR after Ernesto. Perhaps Lil Choke's wastrel junket will be canceled.

Henyard is his doppelganger in boutique clothing.

Puerto Rico? Well it’s similar to Jackson, crappy roads, lights/traffic lights don’t work, high crime and murder numbers, corruption of police and local government officials. But Entergy is definitely better than MiLuma.

Speaking of Chowke, Mr. Stokes says the rumour is that Chowke, Jody, and Aaron Banks are fixin' to get indicted. Maybe Chowke will get arrested at the "convention."

Carcel

Will he duck out when any National Anthem is played?

@10: 34 One poster apparently think he or she needs a passport to enter Puerto Rico. That is worse than not knowing Mississippi from Michigan. Otherwise, this meeting certainly sounds surreal.

WTF does Lord Farquad know about ethics, transparency, and compliance?

PLEASE just fix the damn traffic signals.
