Jackson Jambalaya

He has no shame.

That button is holding on for dear life.

When is he going to take ownership of the OB Curtis water plant disaster and resign?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

He appears to be drunk and having to lean on the guy next to him so he doesn’t fall.

This simulation we are living in needs new writers.

The story line has reach a point of absurdity...this simply cannot be accepted as real life.

Do the people who organize things like this ever look at who they are inviting?

I see career potential for him. Maybe he cam become a professional panel member!

He just exudes credibility in the realm of public works. He lives in an alternate reality, much like the former President Donald J. Drumpf. What a freaking joke. He has robbed thousands of Jacksonian of their human dignity in his mismanagement and staffing of Curtis…Wait, I thought Jackson employed the “Dignity Economy”?? Hondo strikes again!

I am sure he is the Belle of the Ball in Miami .
you know they are lapping up his tales of woe and mean republicans

This is George Orwell's 1984 type stuff. I agree with 11:39. He absolutely has no shame.

I invite the conference organizers to come visit and stay in downtown Jackson for a few days 🤡

Climate Priesthood is Lil Choke's last refuge. A druid robe covered in chicken blood and feathers will hide his pregnant hominid projection, in a shotgun house under a Lower 9th Ward sign proclaiming Climate Voodoo and legal advice?

Do the people who bring him in to these conferences not know anything about what is happening in Jackson? Evidently, not. The water mess was on national news but put the blame solidly on white flight and racism.

"A Forward-Looking Agenda

Our cutting-edge programming is preparing cities for tomorrow while solving urgent issues of today. Join us in harnessing $1T of federal funds to build inclusive and resilient cities..."

It's a money grab.

Lumumba looks stoned to the bone in that pic.

Chok's in Miami at a public works conference, and we're all here in Mississippi pointing and laughing at him.

Is he drunk?

Who invites the mayor of the city known primarily for the colossal failure of its Public Works Department to lead a panel discussion on “Smart Public Works?” I can’t decide who should be the more humiliated, Antar or the event organizers. Lumumba knows Jacksonians and Mississippians are on to him. I can almost put my finger on the exact moment it happened. Practically overnight, he went from confident bullshit artist to deer in headlights on the local/state stage. It’s just a matter a matter of time before the national media and other far-flung dupes realize they’ve been scammed. Lumumba’s days are numbered.

Chokwe's hoodwinked sponsor, Smart Cities, claims on their website that cities aren't smart if among other things it's citizens can't access clean water.

You cannot fix stupid!!!! Smart Cities and Lumumba fit that description.

No way Jackson should be left in the hands of any of its current leadership!!!

If you want to save Jackson, some hard decisions have to be made. Lets see
who steps up to the plate from the state.

Just My Thoughts

Bring the next conference to the Jackson Marriott.

Oh wait. I forgot. They locked the doors there and closed that place.

What a cesspool.

"Smart Cities". Do any of you even have a clue as to what that means?

You can't make this shit up.

The past 3 years have shown us that Emperor Antar has no clothes, much less shame. And many think the Town of Jackson will eventually cry out. But, it will never, as we forget the last paragraph of that parable.

"So off went the Emperor in procession under his splendid canopy. Everyone in the streets and the windows said, "Oh, how fine are the Emperor's new clothes! Don't they fit him to perfection? And see his long train!" Nobody would confess that he couldn't see anything, for that would prove him either unfit for his position, or a fool. No costume the Emperor had worn before was ever such a complete success.

"But he hasn't got anything on," a little child said.

"Did you ever hear such innocent prattle?" said his father. And one person whispered to another what the child had said, "He hasn't anything on. A child says he hasn't anything on."

"But he hasn't got anything on!" the whole town cried out at last."

Oh, how we wish that were true in 2022.

But that last paragraph is:

"The Emperor shivered, for he suspected they were right. But he thought, "This procession has got to go on." So he walked more proudly than ever, as his noblemen held high the train that wasn't there at all."

And Antar struts more proudly than ever, and the MSM and ivory tower types cheer him on!! Hurrah! Look at that immaculate and sacred suit of kinte cloth!!! Yes, Indeed!!!

What a man. What a suit. Oh, yes.

I guess our you hateful people got you therapist session out about the Mayor going to Smartcity Expo. I hope all of you are feeling better JJ people

I'm just going to go ahead and assume that the file name of that photo is irony.jpg

Careful @1:32, your intelligence is showing.

I’m sure there has to be audio from the panels???? Would love to hear his con man bullshit.

From their website... Jackson is screwed as is all the cities these types of Smart City 'leaders' touch.

Mayor Lumumba and the Lumumba Administration have advanced a number of important initiatives in the City of Jackson including:

The establishment of a strategic plan toward building a Dignity Economy in the City

Strengthening community oversight of the police including establishing Mississippi’s first policy on releasing the names of officers involved in shootings, banning excessive force (including choke holds, strangleholds, knees on the neck, etc.) and requiring officers to intervene and stop other officers from using excessive force and report any such actions to a supervisor.

Winning a nearly $90 million settlement in the Lumumba Administration’s lawsuit against Siemens. The lawsuit was initiated to recoup losses to the City related to water infrastructure, billing, and metering issues so that, as Mayor Lumumba has said, “Jacksonians can get the infrastructure we deserve.”

Preventing the state takeover of Jackson Public Schools (JPS) through an innovative partnership with the state, JPS, the City, funding, and community partners to improve outcomes for Jackson’s scholars. This initiative included door-to-door outreach to engage community input citywide.

Embarking on the largest infrastructure improvement initiative in the City’s recent history. Improvements will address decades of neglect and include the paving of historic Medgar Evers Blvd and other major streets, installation of nearly 150 updated parking meters, and road and sewage line repairs throughout the City.

Right?

With likes of sports coats fitting as his does, one assumes he has not received payment from Richards. You know, to have a bigger suit tailored. You’re getting slower by the day, Chockwe!!

After I pulled up the Smart City Expo website I now I have a much better understanding. Chokwe fits right in with this bunch. I wonder if he is going to Barcelona on the city's dime.

So 1:32, you approve of the mayor, right?

I'm listening, tell me why he deserves our admiration?

Smart Cities equal dignity economies and reimagining the police. Don't city employees have work to do or is posting on this blog a new position made from the people's budget.

The mayor is engaged in a constant struggle against the negative forces of oppression and exploitation. Jackson is the example of what a progressive
city can do when it embraces policies of self-determination and cooperative economics. Those people will not be bullied into acceptance of the exploitive policies of the past. Someday I will visit that city, but I've got a doctor's appointment back in San Francisco and...

This is PATHETIC-

If Jackson were a Smart City, it would deport Antar immediately.

And I'm sure if Jackson flew him to Martha's Vineyard, Barack would take him in to the estate to commiserate over their constant oppression.

Did he blame the "white devil" for all
Jackson's problems

Was the conference aware that we had no running water for a week and no water that we could drink for over a month.

“ It’s just a matter a matter of time before the national media and other far-flung dupes realize they’ve been scammed…”

Love your optimism but Al “Pomade” Sharpton, BLM, Shawn “Talcum X” White and many others have been scamming the national media for years. Gumflapper is a neophyte.

@3:21
The only time whites aren’t the devil to these idiots are on tax day
The city loves NE Jackson on that day. Boy good thing they exist or Chokwe would be in a world of hurt. He couldn’t make a paycheck in private sector

Two things:

1) He is the poster boy of "cult of personality"...completely inept, but spectacular haircut and gift of being a shameless bullshit artist.

2) He's stoned as a rat. Don't think he ain't been hittin' that Cuban oregano.

Communist China is home to the majority of the world's "Smart Cities". Citizens are monitored and surveilled 24/7/365. Santa (Satan) knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good....Resources are rationed. Bad behavior or wrongthink results in automatic reductions of social credit and you go hungry. A PLA Chicomm corporation just purchased 1,400 acres in Florida....for a primate bioweapons research facility! It's all over for the USA as we have known it. It's a done deal.

1:32…sign up with the Jackson water lead contamination lawsuit….you evidently qualify

What/whose pockets fund his travel expenses?

What a Jokewe!

Wait, the conference is about Smart Public Works, and they invited Chokwe to speak ? Holy sh*t. Ain't that funny. Unless of course they're using him as a poster child of what NOT to do with public works. Wow, just wow.

Zzzzzzzz

Choke will probably be joining the Biden administration very soon. He/him/clown will fit right in. Failing up is the Democrat way.

This piece of crap person is no good for anyone. How can I express my feelings other than saying that he is a piece of crap???

This photo should be printed in the cartoon section of the Clarion-Ledger: "Jokeway and his Merry Band of Idiots".

His expression looks like he's trying to take a dump but is constipated.

I hope he stays there.

We don't need him here.

Not to worry because "Dr." Omari is at the helm.

"I guess our you hateful people got you therapist session out about the Mayor going to Smartcity Expo."

Okay, let's try it again, but this time in ENGLISH.

https://news.wsiu.org/2022-09-19/jackson-miss-mayor-to-speak-at-siu-on-tuesday

@1:32 LOL! What language are you attempting to speak? Thank you for the perfect illustration of a typical jokeway supporter. No wonder no one feels sorry for jackistan.

To be fair, everybody in that pic looks stoned

From the Dems playbook/

Former Obama Chief of Staff and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel once said “never let a disaster go to waste.”

Smart city how?
Who is oppressing COJ it’s all self inflicted!
His administration is overcoming oppression! By what? And what is a dignity economy?
The only thing COJ is overcoming is the wait for states resources (more like overwhelming it) to hell with everyone else!
How can you just make stuff up and it be a thing?

Testimonials
"I stand with Smart City Expo USA for
their forward-thinking problem solving
and giving City officials such as myself
a national platform to compare notes
and learn from one another. When we
talk of building up our City
infrastructure in Jackson, Mississippi, we
would be remiss to not focus on smart,
equitable, and sustainable technology.
The fact is that no city is smart if there
is a prevalence of homelessness, hunger
or poverty, and we do little to bridge
the racial wealth and equity gap."

I guess when you're as high as he is, all you can spew is buzzwords. What a beta. No one respects him. Literally no one. I think he is trying to prop himself up as smart to circles that he is not really known in until they figure out he is a fraud as well. Seems white liberals/progressives are the dumbest bunch that eat him up. All of the African Americans that I know despise the guy, literally hate him and what he has done to this city. Those people I am talking about now live in Rankin and Madison counties.

What ever they say, it will involve other people's money. What ever they do, it will involve other people's money.

These people can't produce money. They are leeches, ticks, living, planning, plotting what they will do with other people's money.

They consider themselves to be servants, but live and act as rulers. It all comes down to givers, and takers. The only think they are giving is the shaft to the producers.

"...and we do little to bridge the racial wealth and equity gap."

What this should mean, coming from a mayor, is that they should do more to enhance the livelihood of the citizens -- things like education, safety, infrastructure, and jobs. But, since those aren't the priorities of this administration, it reads: redistribution of wealth by any means available.

I can't believe people are this dumb. SIU faculty and students are suckers!

Lumumba’s initiatives include re-energizing the city’s public school system, bringing 3D manufacturing to the city, collaborating with higher education institutions to develop a plan from prenatal care all the way to graduate school for children born in Jackson, multiyear budgets to meet the crisis created by 30 years of flash floods and COVID-19, and signing on to a carbon tax to address the climate crisis.

According to the latest census updates, Jackson has already lost another 3000 people since 2020. The Dignity Economy is kicking butt!
