Animal Rescue Group Busted (Updated)

Note: I'm a bit under the weather so today will probably be a slow one at JJ.  Sorry. 

Update: A copy of the Cease & Desist letter providing much more information is posted below. 

Secretary of State Michael Watson issued the following statement. 

The Mississippi Secretary of State Charities Division has issued a Cease and Desist Order and Notice of Intended Actions against North Star Rescue, Inc. (a Mississippi non-profit corporation), revoked North Star Rescue’s charitable registration, and dissolved North Star Rescue with the Business Services Division. 

North Star Rescue should not be operating, and Mississippians should refrain from donating to the Charity.

The Charities Division conducted an examination on North Star Rescue and determined approximately $20,000 of charitable funds received by North Star Rescue were used for non-charitable purposes. 

For example, North Star Rescue made purchases at Xhale Smoke Shop, Game Stop, Roblox, Lash Studio, and Micro Wrestling. 

The Charities Division gave North Star Rescue’s officers and directors numerous opportunities to reimburse North Star Rescue for the misused charitable funds. The officers and directors of North Star Rescue failed to respond to the Charities Division and/or make the charity whole by reimbursing North Star Rescue for the non-charitable expenses.  

For questions regarding North Star Rescue or other charitable organizations in Mississippi, please contact our Charities Division at 601-359-1599.

This is Mississippi and that's how they roll here. Lie, cheat, steal; wash, rinse, repeat.

Whoa wtf you mean they actually check for this shit? Please tell me churches are exempt from this? My Jedi Temple operates as a 501(c)(3) and all of our purchases for religious items such as Jedi collectibles and media all falls under our religious expenses!

To be fair, if you’re headed out to watch midget wrestling you should get your lashes done and be sure you’ve got a full vape.

I'm glad to see this. If I were running for SOS, I'd campaign on stamping out bogus nonprofits, especially those receiving government money.

Micro Wrestling? Come on, they just wanted to have a little fun!

I talked this over with HR and as you only have two sicks days remaining on the books you will have to take vacation days if your illness continues beyond two days.

Search shows they operate in Lucedale, just for additional info. Could be wrong, as a disclaimer.

Stealing dog rescue non-profit money to buy your Micro Wrestling whatever is peak white trash.

Another sad day for the animals of MS!

They come begging with teary eyes and a photo of an abused puppy. You give em' fifty bucks ... and they spend your donation on fake nails and midget wrestling.

My only fear is this might hurt donations to legitimate animal rescue groups.

When you feel better, KF, please give us an update on the Jackson Animal Rescue situation.

KF take a look at their FB page. It's 2:11pm as I type and the post says 23m ago. They're claiming that items purchased were for raffles to generate funds for urgent medical cases 🙄 Playing on sympathies to try to still get donations.

Poor Kingfish Bait..... At least it shuts your smart ass up for a little while but we'll take it!

I suggest to anyone, check the salary of the CEO of any charity you are considering donating to, then decide if you want to give your money to them.Many CEOs of many charities, and many of the employees make very high salaries. Be wary of this.

Hey Mr. Democracy! Why are you not posting all comments? Can't take any perceived criticism? Dish it out but can't take it? Of course, that's what weasels like you do Fishbait.

On a similar subject, I'd donate to help fix up the Rankin Co. animal shelter down on Marquette Rd.

'Churches' and 'religious' entities are defacto exempt from any financial oversight. Praise the Lord and pass the collections plate!

@ 7:51 and many of them are no more than political action committees

Dang, some of you people are miserable. Get better soon, Kingfish.

This is why we are the most giving, charitable people in America. Because we get snookered by a bunch of carpetbagging grifters. Ask questions people!

Kingfish we may not agree on much politically, but I do you get to feeling better. That said, I hope Donald Trump feels terrible. I hope he gets sand in his eye. I pray for him to have restless legs, anxiety, insomnia, heartburn. Running eyes, itchy throat, skin lesions and abscesses from under the skin. I want all these things all the time for him before he develops a slow acting form of anal cancer on the right side of his ass. The cancer starts in his ass, right side near the old wound, and moves slowly throughout his body over several years while he has to pay a Melania look-a-like to even be in the room near him to refill his stash of Depends. The old wound where Sascha Riley stabbed Trump with a tent stake while trying to escape his evil fingers, hands and actions. Kingfish may your fever flee but your idol Donald John Trump experience as much hell on earth as possible before he goes to the real place where he has a studio 1 BR apartment next to Lucifer and Lucifer listens to Jelly Roll all day, ery day LOUDLY.
I pray all these things in Jesus name, Amen!

2:56, 5:15, 5:25, et al: I’m guessing from your childish comments you are in elementary school, or possibly middle school. If not, please articulate, if you are able, what your beef is with KF, and why you chose a post on a scam animal shelter to lob what a feeble mind might consider an insult.

Their Facebook page is awesome! I don't think they read the order!! They are saying it's over taxes!! Another commenter references the IRS!! It's the Secretary of State! Not the IRS! No one should wonder why they screwed this up!!

Put them under the jail........rescues have been "full" for years. That's really how they get their spending fun money. YOU OFFER THEM CASH AND A HUNDRED POUNDS OF FOOD then suddenly they have an open spot.

I sent your threats to a friend at the US Secret Service. You had better hope that you are using a VPN connection.

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.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
