Live From Thalia Mara Hall: The Truth Emerges

WJTV interviewed the recently-deposed manager of Thalia Mara Hall last night.   The video is posted below.  The nutshell version? Just think libraries and water plants.  

 


Hizzoner, of course, blames the microbial growth problem on the HVAC conking out one weekend.  Um, yeah.  All that growth developed over a weekend.  Uh-huh.  More likely, the HVAC was not able to control the humidity for several weeks, thus creating the conditions for the microbial growth.  '

Now that Lumumba has been indicted, the local maim stream media is apparently no longer scared about running items which are negative about him.

Obviously this lady did not know how to do business the Chokwe way.

Exactly. The local media are rolling the dice hoping that Chowke et al will be moving to the gray-bar hotel.

I'm just ready for him to move out of our gated street. It's not like he is ever there anyway, but we get more car honks and F-U's by people driving by. And that gaudy police cruiser, it's an eyesore.

Hell yeah Angie! Burn that MF'ER down! Expose everything and make him firing you the worst decision he's ever made(and he's made a lot). I hope you lawyer up and sue the city for all you can get. Sing like a canary! Let everyone know the incompetence that is Chokwe Lumumba and the City of Jackson. I hope every single person that voted for him a second go-round, every attorney and business that contributed to his campaign, and everyone else that went along with his BS know you are complicit in the destruction of our capital city. Those that called people like me racist because we called his BS out. The white liberals in Eastover, Leftover, Fondren, Belhaven, etc. that sang along with him and refused to call a spade a spade, you too are on the hook for this and I hope your friends and neighbors hold you accountable for the destruction of this city.

I have never seen a city or a government with that is as bad at maintaining buildings as Jackson. He is so in over his head but he can't admit that because he is a narccisist. All he does is lie and gas light people. He obviously thinks he is gonna be able to do that with a federal court. That is how crazy he is. If you asked him he proably doesn't care about the bribery scandal because he truly believes he will beat the charges. He is mentally sick.

Through our growing bureau network across Mississippi, [we] covers Mississippi counties like no outlet ever has. But we also continue JFP’s two-decade tradition of producing the most honest and accurate coverage of Jackson, our capital city ...

It is comical that the cowardly media is NOW open to reporting his incompetence.

Since the Feds are the Big Bad's that can take the ultimate blame and be called racists...they feel less terrified to at least whisper about his many scams now.

Do you think she is motivated to expose him in a negative light considering he fired her for incompetence and she could be motivated by her race or gender. Let’s not be oblivious

Sad that MelissaFP parrots these outright half-truths and falsehoods to her former local press corps colleagues full well knowing, or at least she should, that she is spinning garbage.

10:19 are you f'ing serious? They fired her because she brought these issues up and gave a chicken shit excuse to fire her, and she had cancer treatments. It's not a good look for the city for a myriad of reasons, none of which are her fault.

I can't wait until Lumumba appoints someone to her position who's name resembles a bunch of scattered Scrabble tiles(mostly the vowels). I'm sure they will be able to do a much better job than her. /s

Wrong. Baby Chok, Papa Chock, and Rukie Chock are doing EXACTLY what is required to establish the Kush. Get the white folks out so they can get moving with the Republic of New Africa. I cannot recall seeing large numbers of (New) African-Americans at the ballet, symphony, or Bob Dylan.

So what, other than a source of under the table cash, does Chockwe need Thalia Mara for?

Just remember they destroyed the Greater Jackson Arts Council. Funneled a multi million grant through ATL so their friends could get some juice. Grant was cancelled after two years.

Steve said...

You people slay me! If you think for one moment the low information voters of Jackson care about any of this you’re just delusional.

@10:02 Even if you hadn’t added that parentheses you would still be 100% correct.

Chok cancelled Kevin Hart!

1045 IS EXACTLY RIGHT, the mayor still has many supporters.

Is impeachment an option to get him out before he does even more harm between now and his conviction?

Anonymous said...

11:39 Most of the mayor's supporters do not live in Jackson or in Mississippi. You do not have to live in Jackson to support the direction he would take this city. Most of his VOTERS don't even understand where he's going.

Jackson must be placed in receivership.

Lumumba and Co. have zero credibility. In fact their credibility is so poor if it were a credit line they would be in the red for multiple millions possibly a billion. Not only that but they have a track record of having to pay for racial firing (see: Patricia Furr's $195,000 settlement)

This was a good interview. Kudos to WJTV

Mississippi does not have legislation to recall a mayor. Or any publicly elected official for that matter. Shanda Yates kept submitting legislation to do so but kept dying in committe. She's unsure about doing it this year since he's under indictment, but IMO she should do it anyway. This state needs recall legislation.

What happened to the Mayor’s Monday press conferences? 😆

Chockwe Lumumba will burn a $100 bill that belongs to the city, if he can get a nickle out of it.

VERY well said! That describes the dynamic, extremely well.

Can KF or anyone else post why the local media is so terrified of Lumumba?

No.

I have seen several comments about the people that voted for Chokwe. I don't know how many registered voters there are in Jackson but he only got 13K votes.

The legislature clearly neither wants nor respects the people's voice, once they are elected. That's why we will never again have the Initiative and Referendum process.

If Angie was the director of the facility, it seems reasonable to me that some of the blame for these issues should fall on her. The mold appeared, because the chiller was off for 3 days over a weekend in July without anyone being contacted. That's huge.

The fountains don't work because nobody cut them off during the freeze earlier this year, and the motors burned up.

Not taking up for the mayor. He has plenty to do with the issues that led to this, but he also hired someone to run the place who obviously wasn't doing so. It is not his job to get into the minutia of facility management.

Anonymous said...

"...hired someone to run the place who obviously wasn't doing so..." OR perhaps she was screaming at the top of her lungs to get things fixed and the mayor et al were too damn busy partying.

JTV could go door-to-door in every city office building and hear identical stories. Please, let's elect Kim Wade and give him a shot at running the city as it should be and not as a looting base for all these grifters.

Can't wait for them to really start digging. Follow the money. If the state called it's bonds and follows all of the payments and transfers from DFA SB accounts I guarantee they would find rabbit holes too deep to climb out of.

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.

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.
