Jackson Jambalaya

I hope the Feds chase this all the way around the block.

One of many, many questions that all point back to the Lumumba family.

For instance, why were the grants destined for the Greater Jackson Arts Council getting pre-washed by a longtime crony of Lumumba Sr. based in Georgia?

Trace the monies ending up with Rukia's various "non-profit" grievance front organizations and you'll discover those funds are also getting pre-soaked by a third party before landing in Mississippi to pay the loyal adherents she employs.

See the pattern?

Read the indictment. See the pattern?

Yarber clearly knows some things. So where has he been for the last 7 years, while Everyone else had to learn about the Lumumbas the hard way?

It would be undemocratic for a Democrat to NOT leave office a multimillionaire! Just look at Alexandra Ocaiso-Cortez. Her current net worth after just 3 terms in office is now over $30 million.

The mayor is also involved and a illegal land grab by a group that is for being the Republic of Africa. His father was the leader of this group and he grew up in this called. They tried to settle in the Jackson area in 1971 with a attempted land theft, and they are back doing the same thing, a number of Hines County supervisors are involved in the political corruption the tip of the Leesburg

I wonder...was Obi Wan really talking about Jackson, MS?
"You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

Had Yarber not announced in church that God had paid off his mortgage, he might still have a political career. He seems to be a little to close to the action to be "innocent."

Tony is correct- It starts with the awarding of the consultants, engineers and subcontractors ( minority's of course) all the way thru the lawsuit and settlement thereof.

I don't trust anyone in Jackson. I think the police are corrupt too.

The low level participants the Lumumba’s circle of corruption would be wise to get out in front of this and cut a deal. The Feds will drill down and put the thumbscrews to them eventually. If these crooked idiots were using checks throughout their scheme, chances are they didn’t cover their tracks very well.
In the grand scheme of things Chokwe might be able to get a deal if he flips on the other cities like NOLA, Birmingham, Atlanta and Memphis. It appears they use these confabs in Florida, the Caribbean and even Dubai like the mob did Havana. Makes you wonder who or what incident was the first Domino to fall.
You might want to get one of those commercial size bags of popcorn.

"Yarber clearly knows some things. So where has he been for the last 7 years, while Everyone else had to learn about the Lumumbas the hard way?"

He spent most of that time in the Himalayan Mountains with a sect of monks who were leading him to a new life in the "Klan of Jesus of Modern Day Mountain Dwellers".

That's a group of prior lawmakers and other elected officials who barely escaped prosecution during their terms of office.

The monks, for half a million bucks, cleanse your soul and your record, with nymphs and young strumpets dancing around fire pits, while performing exorcisms and other rituals...and return you to the streets, usually wearing a big silver cross suspended from a $4000 chain around the neck.

And when you come down off the mountain, you are qualified to Preach the Word and enter Pulpit Status, opining about salvation, casting guilt and judgment and other stuff.

Well! You did ask.

9:02 You are 100% correct. If a contract is awarded solely on being a minority; then that also is discrimination. Being able to complete and perform the work within deadlines, budgets to meet the standards required is 99.9% of awarding the bid IMO! When our standards were dropped we saw the Hinds County Jail built that was incapable of keeping inmates, let alone guards safe, along with garbage, water and sewer issues!

7:17 PM If you’re going to lie about something at least lie about something that’s not easily disproven with a moment’s worth of fact-checking. But I guess it wouldn’t be Trumpish to refrain from resorting to lying to smear a woman who intimidates you.

@7:17 I'm not a fan of AOC, but at least fact check before spreading misinformation. That was a fake social media post. Don't be part of the problem, be part of the solution. Per multiple sources "There is no evidence that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a net worth of $29 million, despite online claims that that figure was released by Forbes magazine. Forbes has denied releasing the $29 million figure and no other reliable source for the claim has been cited" According AOC's latest financial disclosure report, filed Sept. 12, 2022, showed assets amounting to $4,004 to $60,000. It listed four assets — one savings account, one checking account, one brokerage account and a 401(k) plan. Each asset ranges from $1,000 to $15,000. That along with a salary of 174K a year put's her no where near 30 million.

Factcheck.org? Really? LMAO.

@7:04 A lie is intentional, but when someone spreads misinformation, they are usually unaware that the information is inaccurate, so there is no intent to deceive. They believe the information is true and pass it along, often in good faith. There's no need to resort to insults. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

I can tell a lot of you never lived in Jackson and have NO clue about how corruption has gone on in MS for decades . Corrupt blacks just mimicked corrupt whites in the 1970's. Your GOP pretty boy back then was entirely beholden to a wealthy white guy who got him a house in Eastover cheap and use of a Destin condo and now your new "big boy" is spending millions on roads to nowhere in an area without enough preserved history or charm to attract people. He hasn't even been able to keep strip shopping centers viable yet he's building this huge new hotel? Corrupt Mississippians get rich on federal dollars. How many more scandals do you need to start getting the picture ? The federal dollars and new jobs go to good friends, relatives and supporters. To stop corruption, you will need to redo the State Constitutions and put into effect the laws other states have to keep their elected politicians honest. And, 8:17 am is deliberately ignorant because he doesn't know how to do internet research to find out whether something is a fact or not. What was posted about AOC has more verifications than Factcheck.org. Indeed, the government documents she is required to file gets verified along with her security clearance. As someone with a security clearance, those dudes don't mess around. But, since we are gutting all government guardrails, pretty soon , no one will be looking.

Bonus points to anyone who can say how much XPS got from the airport while Wright was on the board.

Any idea which company received the public relations contract?

9:27 as someone who loathes all politicians equally for the most part, I dont disagree.
But the sad truth is the corrupt GOP leaders that steal from MS do at least provide minimum services for their constituents. The problem with black leadership in Jackson is that they want to steal like whitey did, but they also want to do zero actual work. None. They missed the step in Theft 101 where you have to keep the voters happy enough to keep paying taxes for you to steal.
Jackson ran all the money off but kept stealing. Hence the feds.

Thanks for putting the info out there, Yarber.

9:27, If you know, just tell us instead of playing games.

Will somebody in the Chokwe cartel please cut ole Yarber a piece of this action so that he can go back into his hole and keep his mouth shut? Or is it too late?

"...Corrupt blacks just mimicked corrupt whites..."

Black folks did not learn corruption from white folks. People are people and crooked is color-blind. I'd suggest that a more accurate phrasing would be "crooked blacks have reached positions where they can steal on a scale to rival what crooked whites had been stealing." A crook in the C-suite can steal a lot more than a crooked janitor.

A review of such things as Theodore Bilbo's career, James Tucker's career, "Operation Pretense," etc., might be informative. Especially the seemingly small beginning that led to "Pretense."

BRA-VO!

I had almost forgotten about Yarber. He always seemed like a nice and honest person. Jackson was sure in better shape back then.

The next mayor should run with the campaign slogan, "Make Jackson Great Again." #MJGA

You might want to search his name on this blog before deleting your post.

What??? Yarber was mayor when that cold snap happened which resulted in the roads being torn up. City never really recovered from that, and he certainly never paved anything.

My fave Yarber moment, was when he spanked that burglar. Do Jackson Jambalaya archives contain a link to the video?

Only difference between Yarber and Jimmy Swaggart is Yarber didn't cry into the microphone on camera.
