And..... They're Off to the Races

 Take a look at who's running for what in Jackson.  Let the games begin.



No one qualified to run against the Queen up in Madison. So much for all the talk about a backlash for her medical marijuana lawsuit.

If i lived in Jackson, I would be voting for Shafeqah “BigMama” Lodree. I can imagine her not putting up with the shenanigans currently taking place in the city. I bet she will be cross between DC’s Catwoman and Frank Melton.

Looks like more of the same. You gotta wonder why voters continue to vote for people who despise them. This has been talked about at great length here on the JJ. After what Jackson has been through and the incompetence that has reared its ugly head on a seemingly daily basis one hast to wonder ( Is There Any Intelligence Life living In Jackson)

I think this is what's called, 'VOTER NULLIFICATION".

Lee was the chance to get it right. Insolvency, here we come!

I hear a democrat is running against Sandra Strain.

I'm not even sure why republicans attempt to run for the Major of Jackson. The R by their name means they will never win, as Jackson is made up of a majority of D for life voters.

Vote 4 Big Mama!

Can she be any worse than the current mayor? I think not.

Somehow Les Tannyhill has figured out how to make money from running for office. This is stupider than running for sherriff.

I'm not even sure why democrats attempt to run for any statewide office in Mississippi. The D by their name means they will never win, as Mississippi is made up of a majority of R for life voters.

One-party rule works both ways, 12:46 pm. But if they want to waste their time and other people's money, who cares?

Because, 1:50, if AA's would get off their collective asses and vote, this would be a solid blue state. If 1 out of FIVE whites voted D, the R's would be toast.

@1:50 That's not the point. The point is whether the voters are voting in their own best interest. What do you have to show for your vote?

Jackson voters might want to rethink their loyalty.

Talk about the incompetence of Jackson leadership and how the state should take over but in the same breath will mention how state leadership is incompetent as well... Interesting.

Is the guy named Fireman or is that his current position?

“if AA's would get off their collective asses and vote, this would be a solid blue state”

Yeah, and if a bullfrog had wings, it wouldn't bump its ass when it hopped.

GTFOH.

Black Mississippians have shown in the last 3 out of 4 presidential elections alone that they will shatter previous turnout records when they have a candidate who speaks to them and their concerns directly. Hell, we came out in the middle of a goddamn pandemic to vote for Biden and Espy in person because we don’t have no-excuse early voting like many other states. But who has the State Democratic Party nominated recently worth caring about? A corrupt mayor in 2011, and a truck driver in 2015 who was so unqualified he didn’t even vote for himself? Former A.G. Jim Hood was arguably the best gubernatorial Democratic candidate we’ve had in 20 years. He made it a relatively close race, but he played himself by keeping a distance from all black people during the campaign so as not to counter his “good old country white boy with a pickup truck” image and risk offending the rural whites who supported him in the past. And he still lost a lot of them anyway, thanks in part to Donald Trump stumping for Reeves.

Some of my friends who aren’t from here and don't understand our racially divided politics point to Georgia turning blue last year as hope that things can change here soon. And I point out to them that Georgia is a very different case. Georgia just barely went blue this time, and it remains to be seen how sustainable that is. It happened this time because the Democrats ran a good ground game in several urban centers across the state led by Stacy Abrams, and the Atlanta metro is what turned the tide. In contrast, Mississippi is a very rural state that lacks many highly populated urban centers. There has been a massive shift in whites moving away from the Democratic Party statewide, and conservative rural whites here are now fiercely loyal to the GQP. Even if every black of voting age population could vote, they still a numerical minority and don’t have the benefit of having an equal number of educated progressive urban whites to join with them in the voting booth. African Americans in Mississippi understand that conservative white people will come out of the woodwork to vote against anyone who appears to be an ally.

And don’t even get me started on the legal impediments that are routinely placed on AAs intended to disqualify a significant number of them from voting. I’ve given responding to your insulting comment WAY more energy than it deserved. We are doing our part. Focus on getting that "1 out of 5 whites voting D" if you want Mississippi to go light blue in our lifetimes. So, consider all of that before you try to low key label us as lazy again.

Well 9:15, people take a good look at Jackson and Voting District 2 and realize what would happen if the state went Blue.

Damn @9:15 your right out of a comic book. And just who are those Democratic Candidates that spoke to you and your concerns? And what were those concerns? And just how much better off did your leaders make life for you? You speak of a corrupt mayor and an unqualified truck driver, did you vote for them as well? Or were the promises to small. Your racist tendency came out in your next paragraph and not vaguely. You really think that democrats ran a good ground and that Stacy Abrams turned the tide ? Man you truly are a mushroom and we all know how mushrooms grow.

If you really want to read about that awesome ground game your democrats ran there’s an article in Time called (The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election) you should read it. And if you do and your not seriously applaud by the corruption your party is capable of then you as the voters in Jackson truly deserve what you get! Enjoy

A comic book, 3:15? Now you know those are much too advanced for you, given your reading comprehension probably hasn’t progressed much past first grade.

Returning to the topic, RE: Jackson’s leadership, the city’s problems are far too massive in scope for any single Mayor to solve in 4 years. I’m no fan of Lumumba, but I think the City could have chosen far worse.

True statement check eligible voters said...

Also, 9:15, if AA's would get off their collective asses and vote, this would be a solid blue state. If 1 out of FIVE whites voted D, the R's would be toast.

LOL! Okay, Bernie Bro @ 3:44/5:40. I see you.

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.
