JSU Grad Becomes U.S. Senator

 California Governor Gavin Newsome appointed Laphonza Butler to serve the remainder of the late Dianne Feinstein's term in the U.S. Senate.  Senator Butler is a native of Magnolia, Mississippi and a graduate of Jackson State University.

This JSU graduate voted in Maryland last year; perfect choice for Newsom and California!

Sista Rukia wasn't selected? I'm so surprised.

Politics aside, this is great for JSU. You gotta like it. Always root for the home team!

Awesome!

That creepy bug eyed Adam Schiff wanted her seat instead of Gov. Newsome appointing a black female to the seat. He wanted her to resign and let him have it. Nancy Pelosi got her daughter to become Feinsteina “handler” in a grotesque “Weekend at Bernie’s” style display to prevent Adam Schiff from taking her seat.

So just remember that this event is making Adam Schiff seethe and rage impotently!

With the appointment of both Supreme Court justice Jackson, and now this California senator, we can now declare the civil rights movement dead. Done. Finished. Likewise, we can declare Title VII null and void, as BOTH of these women (what IS a woman?) were selected by Biden and Newsom, respectively, based expressly on the color of their skin alone. They both said so.

The lesson here is: don't work toward accomplishments, just make sure you're in the right place and have the right skin color when opportunities arise.

For those on the left, please refute what I've posted here.

Hmmmm. Sure about that?

Pelosi's secret campaign to aid Feinstein and get Schiff into the Senate

Rukia's need to set up drive thru locations to give away water, filters and trinkets to her 'consituency' demonstrates the woeful ineffectiveness of her advocacy efforts.

Schiff is running for the seat. The thinking in some blogosphere circles is that Butler won't have time to get a campaign up and running before the primary, with Newsome himself saying he didn't want to interfere in the primary. Schiff has an advantage over Butler in that he has more name recognition. Katie Porter is also running and polling close to Schiff, so it's anyone's guess which one they'll pick. Neither of these candidates appear stable and mentally healthy, but that might be a selling point in California. That assumes that Butler either doesn't run or polls poorly because of a late entry.

This is just plain wrong. He should have picked a California native. If people can’t see the writing on the wall by now I don't know. He picked her for radical views. America is done. You can’t vote your way out of this now.

Newsom just rigged the election to put Schiff or another wealthy white Liberal into office to replace Wealthy White Liberal Feinstein, but the JSU crowd thinks she's a US Senator. And they howl in rapture. Think.

Win win for Wealthy White Liberals. But the middle class blacks cheer. Genius Dem Cali move, though. Screw your most loyal but most naive supporters as you convince them they "won." Classic. More rewards for collecting White Liberal dollars for the Swamp from Hollywood.

Bye bye, Barbara. Your years and years of Dem loyalty and Black Caucus work were outweighed by babykiller virtue signalling for Gavin's future runs on the Death-Dismemberment-Dope-Dreamer-Dysphoria ticket. And the fools cheer!

Classic. Haley could never even pull off such a blatant (and racist) move while getting fools to applaud. I honestly don't think even he could stomach this type of stunt.

But Bennie sure can!! Those funding bills coming up in November? Ka Ching, Baby. Farm Bill? Money for Delta Farmers and food stamp recipients? Ka Ching. Money for JSU, (ranking in the 2024 edition of Best Colleges is National Universities, #394-435), guaranteed. Thanks Delta Farmers for your RINO words but ultra loyalty to Bennie. It pays. You and him. But screws the US taxpayer. Classic. Then, a French Laundry type is sworn in during January. Cali win win.

Genius move, Gavin.

So, if a handful of people seem to get an unearned and unfair advantage, then we should all just quit life because it isn't fair?

How can you become a Senator of California when you're a resident of Maryland?

The uneducated, redneck White boys are out in force. Poor babies! Can't compete in IQ or achievement or financial accomplishment with a female black lesbian.

And, she wasn't "given" a damn thing on her resume.

FYI, I'm an old enough female that I remember when you good ole boys would let me compete. Once I could, I bested all of you in the graduate school that didn't allow women until 1973 when they tooK ONE.

It is interesting and ironic that the mal-adaptive and dysfunctional political motives behaviors attributed to the "leftists" are the same ones that accurately describe the modus operandi of the "right". It is wrong when "they" do it, appropriate when "we" do.

One of the best books by a Mississippian is "Coming of Age in Mississippi" by Anne Moody, born Essie Mae Moody, from Centerville, not that far from Magnolia. I'm thinking that Ms. Butler was likely inspired by it. I know that I was. Good news for JSU and for Mississippi.

She earned as much as any other appointed politician earns it by supporting the party and waiting her turn.
That’s the way it works on both sides.
It’s why our government is so dysfunctional and it is why RINOs really hated trump so much.

9:18 No, the lesson here is: Whether you are liberal or conservative, black or white, female or male, from Magnolia Miss, or New York, study hard, work hard, and position yourself for advancement because you never know when opportunity will knock. If you are not prepared nothing will happen. I don't like her politics but I would rather see a Mississippi ultra-lib get the break than some California ultra-lib. Wouldn't you?

Some serious conservative mental illness on full display in these comments. From sloppy sentences and conspiracy theories all over the place to declaring racism is dead every time a good thing happens to a black person. The same ones declaring racism dead are also saying or implying that the black woman's achievement couldn't possibly be based on merit and delegitimizing it from every angle. Anyway, the sane among us are happy for the native Mississippian and happy for JSU as well!

I’m a Mississippian who has been to California a half dozen times in my life.
I met quite a few Mississippians working in Burbank, Anaheim, and Long Beach.
I think California is amazing.
I would have moved there 20 years ago but I just can’t keep up with the demands of life in California.

Cali has the highest poverty rate in the nation. I think California is a joke, unless you're Jim Barksdale buying a 300 foot yacht, or for vacay. Shake and bake environment. So woke you buy gas at 6 bucks a gallon, and love it. Or else.

It's beyond naive not to understand the White House and Swamp politics behind a super pro abortion lesbian BF being appointed to a Reconstruction-style identity-politics caretaker term. It only happened because DF was not kept on life support for another two months. If woke Disney could have just made her an Animatron, Butler would still be busy begging for baby killer bucks. And Barbara Lee is screwed, and shouted this was coming. Some reward for her years of experience, eh?

The dumping of the Old Guards of civil rights is the biggest hit. Yet, it's far more about leading Cali voters to dump the interim appointee for being a bomb thrower for abortion and trans politics at the same time a comfortably dumb and woke Schiff is ushered into office. Avoiding Harris and Lee and their supporters, the ones who loyally got Xiden into office. In your face racist Dem politics. Another White Savior will be Senator. Predictably. Soothing pablum for fools. And they lap it up.

Gavin first got rid of Ha Ha Harris, a potential rival and doddering nuisance, and then appoints her BFF to the Senate to placate the wealthy woke who love killing babies. At any price.

He's a political master. Of willing political slaves. Who cheer. SMH.

Props to Chairman Gavin of the People's Republic of Kalifornia. She'll be super useful for Bennie to route tax dollars to Tougaloo and JSU and Antar in the coming Mega Spender Christmas bills. Then, she will go away.

Win win for Gavin. Lose lose for the normals and taxpayers. Yet again. The Swamp is like the house in gambling. They always win. We always lose.

Bill Dees said...

For all you commenters who are outraged that Butler voted in Maryland GO READ THE CONSTITUTION. There is no requirement that an appointed Senator be a resident of the state they represent.
And KF, great clickbait post. I knew it would rouse the racists, who can't stand the thought of a black woman who's smarter than they are.

Anonymous said...

Laphonza's views are in line with the 65% of Californians who vote for people like Newsom, Pelosi, Schiff, Feinstein, Boxer, Kamala, Scott Weiner, etc., so this is no big deal. I agree with 1:03 that California is fascinating and mostly beautiful, but I couldn't keep up with the pace and cost of living in California myself.

She has now earned her communist license.. Now she has to provide in order to have it renewed.

2:15, Bill, you claim KF put this here as clickbait? You are woefully ignorant - this is one of the two leading stories nationwide today. Why would he NOT post it?

"Rouse the racists"? The majority of Mississippians who read JJ don't care if the person is black, green, or red... it's her radical makeup, and yes, her identifiable markers.

What? Mississippi native and JSU grad becomes Senator? That's not news in Mississippi?

Anonymous said...

For all of you who think and object to her getting the job because she's black, do you have a problem with white people getting jobs just because they are white? It happens every day of the week. When I see any Mississippian succeeding, I yell "Mississippi Representing"!!! Why can't people just stop hating and start appreciating?

I’m Progressive and I am convinced that Bill Dees is some troll account that is nothing but a former Rush Limbaugh listener’s caricature of a Progressive.

Snafu Shelton said...

Bill Dees, the residency issue is not nearly as clear cut as you suggest. The Constitution says a senator must be an inhabitant of the state they represent, but it gets murky with the 17th Amendment, which transferred the responsibility of electing senators from state legislatures to the general citizenry, and the fact Butler was appointed, not elected.

And please don’t scream at us in all caps, especially when it is wrong, or at best, misleading.

KF Black JSU Grad finds success in California that would be impossible in Mississippi. It's news even though it happens all the time.

Will the Republicans go after her since she does NOT live in Cali?

Even Hillary moved to NY so she could run for senator.

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.
