Tantrum Time!

The pages of Facebook got a little heated Monday as  Jackson attorney Dorsey Carson, yes, the Dorsey Carson endorsed John Horhn for Mayor.  However, Mr. Carson did not merely endorse the good State Senator but penned an epistle that although not worthy of Paul, was enough to stir up a hornets nets of Lumumba supporters.   To say they were outraged is an understatement. Just read, after fixing a drink, of course. 

First up: Mr. Carson's post: 

Tomorrow Jackson will very likely select its next Mayor in the Democratic primary runoff election. I’m wholeheartedly supporting John Horhn. This city has lacked vision for far too long, and many people have lost hope. But I believe John has the vision and a plan to move Jackson forward. In a world built on relationships and trust, John can parlay his significant contacts and relationships developed over his decades in public service.
I supported our current Mayor eight years ago. He represents our city well as an ambassador. I harbor no animosity against him. On a personal level I like the man, and his wonderful family even more. So this is not to slam the Mayor. Rather, John Horhn is a high quality candidate and will make a fantastic Mayor.
But if you are unsure about John, let me remind you of one of the many reasons to change our current trajectory. If, the day before our city’s Mayoral election, one wanted to remind voters of the major crises in recent history, where would one even start?
Would it be that Jackson’s crime rate skyrocketed, and that Jackson had the highest murder rate IN THE COUNTRY for two years, and was consistently in the top 10? Have there really been 936 murders during this administration?!
Would it be the numerous SINKHOLES (no longer just potholes) and literal collapse of an aging infrastructure system? Lives are endangered, and some have been tragically lost. But has there ever been a plan to fix the problem—other than temporary fixes using expensive emergency, no-bid contracts?
Would it be when the ONLY thing that seemed to be working in Jackson—GARBAGE pickup—became the number one priority—sucking the air out of the room and refocusing all personnel over every other issue? You may recall that the Mayor claimed he had authority under emergency powers to chose whoever he wanted for garbage pickup. He fought with city council members and accused them—a vast majority of whom are not white—of blocking minority-owned businesses (with NO discussion about increasing hourly rates for the minority garbage collectors, but I digress). The Mayor refused to entertain other bids or compromise with city council, resulting in taxpayer funds being used and wasted on a long, expensive, drawn out legal battle. To nobody’s surprise, the Supreme Court ruled against the Mayor. Any attorney (including the Mayor) would have already known the result.
What about the indictments? Did he use his weight to help a fake development company in exchange for $50k in cash for “campaign contributions”? Who does business in a city where corruption appears rampant? Most of my clients are not interested.
I worked on a short list to discuss, but lack time to write (and you lack time to read) about these other issues before tomorrow’s election.
So I’ll just remind you of one: the vast Water System Failures (throughout terms, with the worst between 2021–2022). During this administration, there were no upgrades made to Jackson’s aging water treatment facilities. Shortly after assuming office, every employee with institutional knowledge of water system was terminated and either replaced with the Mayor’s friends, or not replaced at all. Without divulging attorney-client privileged communications, I have firsthand knowledge of how bad and vindictive it was. Former employees met with me for representation. I saw documents evidencing bid rigging and price-fixing. Unfortunately, unlike exposing fraud in the federal government, Mississippi still does not have a state whistleblower statute. So whistleblowers and attorneys cannot afford to pursue those types of cases, even if a statute allowed. But I digress.
Northern cities, and most other Southern cities, are quite prepared for several days of freezing temperatures. But Jackson’s water system, including the O.B. Curtis Water Treatment Plant, was not winterized by February 2021. Without winterization, the city’s plant could not handle prolonged freezing temps. Despite the administration’s knowledge of Jackson’s aging plant and water system, nothing was done to prepare for a harsh winter. So, in February 2021, the inevitable happened. Jackson’s water system froze. The city had over 80 main water breaks. The O.B. Curtis Water Treatment Plant and our city’s other water treatment facilities couldn’t keep up. The plant froze—literally—and failed, leading to a near-total loss of water pressure. A majority of residents were without running water for weeks, and boil water notices remained in place long after repairs were made. But that was an unexpectedly harsh winter, you say?
How about summertime? In August 2022, the O.B. Curtis Water Plant system completely collapsed. The Mayor claimed that the catastrophic failure of the plant was because it flooded. The catastrophic failure left all of Jackson without water. Though many still believe that rising waters had physically inundated the facility, as the Mayor had claimed nationwide to public sympathy, the proven reason was a woefully insufficient filtration system. Despite the 2021 crises, nothing had been done to fix the filtration system. National media and watchdogs embarrassingly discovered that no images or evidence supported the idea of widespread flooding at the plant. Photos and on-the-ground reports showed no visible flooding there. Rather, the O.B. Curtis Plant and surrounding areas remained dry during the Pearl River’s peak. The rising river just exposed existing problems. What were those problems? Quite simply, an increased inflow of dirty water overwhelmed the plant’s insufficient filtration system. Pre-existing equipment failures, staffing shortages, and the fragile infrastructure could not handle the strain.
The result was catastrophic, again. No drinking water. Potable water had to be shipped in. During the February 2021 winter storm and again in August 2022, hospitals, restaurants, and businesses were forced to rely on tanker trucks and bottled water to maintain minimal hygiene and operations. Toilets couldn’t flush, and sanitation protocols broke down in some facilities. Some businesses failed. Restaurants could not open. Even when they did, many customers were not taking the chance, and simply stopped eating in Jackson. Restaurants that had survived the pandemic, and the prior freeze, could not survive this final blow. For many, the only option was to either close or move outside of Jackson. Both happened.
And, unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of it. Between 2022–2023, temporary fixes brought water pressure back, but boil water notices continued well into 2023. The Mayor continued to blame the aging infrastructure on racial inequity, underfunding, and prior mayors.
State government had to get involved to get the Plant operational again. Instead of thanking the State, the Mayor lambasted the State officials and argued instead for federal intervention, citing lack of cooperation from the Governor and State. So, at the Mayor’s request, the EPA and DOJ launched federal oversight of the water system in late 2022. The plan to bring in the Feds apparently backfired for the Mayor, who was now excluded from any ability to help steer contracts. Ted Henifin was appointed as a third-party water manager. Even though he had specifically asked for DOJ involvement, the Mayor now complained about federal involvement, and sought relief in federal court—which quickly shut him down. The Mayor continued to publicly clash with Gov. Reeves over control and messaging. The Mayor called press conferences to accuse the Governor of using the crisis for political gain (see the irony there?).
So the Governor and Legislature that hold the purse strings have continued to withhold funding for Jackson, to the severe detriment of its residents, and others. And, when funding has been provided, like with Thalia Mara, the city has failed to spend it. And, in the end, it was this Mayor’s lack of urgency, poor planning, and failure to use available federal funds effectively that have directly caused these continuing failures.
One final note, for those still reading: In his final Hail Mary hour, the present Mayor is trying to spin this mayoral runoff as a race war. This, even though, unlike John Horhn, the Mayor claims homestead and lives (and presumably votes) in one of those majority-white precincts that he now seeks to disparage. There is great irony in the Mayor now campaigning against his own predominantly-white neighborhood…especially since Northeast Jackson, where the Mayor and I live, is no longer a Republican district. It hasn’t been the strong Republican bastion of yesteryear for quite some time—probably since 2015 when I lost the city council seat by 96 votes. For those who do not know me and might assume otherwise, I’m no Republican. I’m a lifelong Democrat who has not only been a Democratic candidate, but worked on Presidential campaigns (Obama and Clinton), and many Congressional, state, and local races. And Northeast Jackson has more integrated neighborhoods than anywhere else in the State. That might be one reason why the Mayor lives down the street from me. The Mayor is aware that he won NE Jackson when he ran eight years ago. He didn’t try to racially divide this city then, when it helped him. And he knows this runoff is not about the color of any voter’s skin. The only race that matters here is the race to 50% + 1, and I hope you’ll remember the painful last 8 years and go vote tomorrow for Jackson’s future.
Well, well, well.  That didn't sit well with some.  First up was Lumumba leg-breaker Danyelle Holmes: 

How dare you sit from the comfort of your privileged perch in Northeast Jackson and lay the blame for decades of state-sanctioned neglect, racial disinvestment, and economic sabotage at the feet of a Black mayor who inherited a city already bleeding from the wounds inflicted by both Democratic moderates and Republican extremists?
You have the audacity to say Jackson “lacks vision,” yet you support John Horhn, a man who has been in the Mississippi Senate for 32 years and has done less for Jackson than Mayor Lumumba has in just eight. You uplift a career politician who has cozied up to charter school investors, auctioned off community interests to state control, and stayed silent while Republicans decimated the city’s autonomy. But now you want to pretend he’s the visionary? Please.
You say you like the Mayor and his family? Keep that performative respect. This ain’t about who you like, it’s about who’s fighting for Black futures, and who’s propping up the same systems that have stolen from us for generations.
You whine about crime. But where is your accountability for the Open Carry Law, passed by the Mississippi State Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Phil Bryant in 2013, a law you haven’t once condemned? Since then, Mississippi has ranked among the deadliest states in the country for gun violence. In 2023 alone, Mississippi reported 844 gun-related deaths, the highest firearm mortality rate in the nation. You want to talk about murder rates? Start with the policies and politicians who armed this state with chaos, then refused to invest in public safety, mental health, or opportunity.
And let’s get something straight: You mock the garbage contract as a scandal, but here’s the truth, Mayor Lumumba was fighting to protect Jackson residents from being raped by Waste Management, a corporate giant whose proposed contract was $12 million more per year than Richard’s Disposal. That fight wasn’t about ego—it was about economic justice. The Mayor made a fiscally responsible, community-centered decision to select a Black-owned company that could do the job for less. You say you care about good governance? Then don’t demonize a leader for doing exactly what leadership demands, protecting the people from corporate exploitation.
You bring up the water crisis like Lumumba broke something that was working. But this city’s water system was already in collapse, decades of deferred maintenance, federal neglect, and state sabotage laid the groundwork. He didn’t break it, he inherited it. And what did he do? He brought home over $800 million in federal funds to start rebuilding what y’all left to rot. That’s more than Horhn, more than any mayor before him, and more than any state official who stood by in silence while this Black city suffered.
You say this isn’t about race, but you lie. You lie when you erase the structural racism that created the very crises you now weaponize. You lie when you say this isn’t a racial divide while ignoring the state’s refusal to fund Jackson because its residents are Black. You lie when you pretend Northeast Jackson’s white comfort isn’t part of this political calculus. Dr. King warned us about you, the white moderate who prefers order over justice, comfort over truth.
This isn’t about trash, water, or political theater. This is about the last Black radical mayor in the Deep South being targeted because he refused to sell his soul for a seat at the table. He chose liberation over assimilation. And for that, the system came for him.
But we see through the noise. And we will not let you gaslight a generation that’s waking up. This ain’t just about Chokwe Antar Lumumba, it’s about the future of every city fighting for freedom, justice, and self-determination.
We’ve seen the games before. And this time, we’re flipping the whole damn table, win or lose!
Lumumba's Chief of Staff and political thuggette, Safiyah Omari (PhD) chimed in as well. 

Most of Dorsey R. Carson’s statements are just flat out lies and misrepresentations! For example, when he talks about the garbage contract and the mayor suing the council, that’s a flat out lie, the council sued him every time we were in Court with the exception of once. The only time the mayor took the council to court was to get them to provide council minutes that they hadn’t provided for months and he prevailed! That is why you now see the council approval of minutes on the council agenda something that hasn’t happened prior to this administration. He also fails to mention the three RFPS that were ISSUED on the garbage contract prior to Richard’s selection as the lowest and best bid. The first time the mayor rejected all because the city couldn’t afford them and gave waste management its last year option because that was in the cities financial interest. The second RFP bid was won by a company called FCC. They were lower than waste management and they offered a litter pick up crew to help combat all the litter and illegal dumping that was happening in this city and much to the chagrin of the administration, the council voted that contract down. Instead of fighting the mayor issued a third RFP, which resulted in Richards being the lowest and best bid they were the lowest by $12 million. And the council rejected that. what then was the Mayor supposed to do capitulate to a major corporation that was trying to hold this city hostage? So he stood on a totally legal blind bid process to save our residents money. You need to get your facts straight before you come on here lying talking about you like somebody and then don’t have a single fact! as for the water crisis they have been happening since before this mayor was even born and everybody who lives here knows that! His administration is the only one that went directly to Washington to get money to fix it! I’m sick and tired of John Horhn’s supporters lies and misinformation! If he had a vision he would’ve laid it out and run on that. However, he has chosen to run on disparaging the mayor and his accomplishments! and for all these people hollering about corruption —What about the $90 million in money for the poor people of the state of Mississippi?$90 million of taxpayer dollars vs. a legitimate $50K campaign donation? So don’t come talking about corruption to the people! If it’s not race, then what is it? Every now and then one of y’all would admit what it’s about and then have to delete the Facebook post!TRUTH MATTERS!!!!
Truth is the state of Mississippi wants a mayor in Jackson that they can control. And truth is that mayor Lumumba has shown that he will always work in the best interest of the residents of Jackson

Mr. Carson did not just sit there and take it as Ms. Omari expected but gave it right back to her in spades. 

 before calling me a liar or, here on my Facebook page, much worse, you should verify your recollection of the litigation timeline. In March 2021, Lumumba instigated litigation by filing a petition in Hinds County Chancery Court seeking a judgment declaring he had emergency powers to enter a garbage contract without council approval. The City Council argued this violated the charter and proper procurement laws. In May 2021, Chancery Judge Dewayne Thomas ruled that the mayor cannot unilaterally sign contracts without council approval, even in emergency situations. The ruling reaffirmed checks and balances between the executive and legislative branches of Jackson’s city government. In October 2021, a temporary emergency contract with Richard’s Disposal was allowed so garbage pickup could continue, but legal authority was still in question. The next year, after the council rejected the then-contract and the mayor declared their rejection “invalid,” the council sued the mayor, saying he had no power to veto a non-action (like contract rejection). The court sided with the council again, reinforcing that a mayor cannot override council inaction by declaring it a vetoable item. In 2023, the state Supreme Court upheld the lower courts, stating the mayor must obtain council approval for contracts, and cannot bypass or reinterpret council votes to push through his preferred vendor. That’s a lot of expense that could have been avoided. How? What would I have expected the Mayor to do differently? Work with city council instead of against city council? Every Mayor has had to do that. His dad did it successfully. Is it that hard to get four votes on city council? If you cannot accomplish that, then can you really do the job? What have you done? What can you accomplish in the next four years when you continue to battle against city council? Lumumba has the ability to go break bread with other elected officials and work out agreements that benefit Jacksonians. But I think we’ve seen what happens when he fails to do so. As for the Siemens settlement, do you think Lumumba netted the city $90 million in the Siemens lawsuit? Were you aware that the lawsuit was also against all of Jackson’s minority contractors on the Project? Were you aware that the Mayor’s selected attorney buds in Birmingham got $30 million of the city’s recovery? And that not the first bit of discovery had been done in that case? No depositions. How many Jackson attorneys could have recovered for the city without $30M being removed from our local economy? And we taxpayers are still paying off the bond, right? Was any of the recovery used to pay down our city’s debt on the Siemens bond? We know the answers.

 Dayumn.  Preach, brother, preach.  

Expect more tantrums over the next few days.

I would like to remind Danyelle that if we were to exclude Jackson proper murder rate the entire state would be a middle of the pack (if not slightly lower) murder rate.

Nothing makes me happier than to see liberals fight, and I am no Dorsey fan, but he is right. The only thing missing in this election were people like him, and Jeff Goode, and other "elite" white Jackson democrats shucking the corn like this months ago when Horhn entered the race. Why they did it right before befuddles me. If I owned the local eateries Lumumba and his crew like to patronize, I would have not allowed them entry until they started to care about this city. Good riddance to that bunch of narcissists.

Chok was nothing less than a flim flam man.

Not to be confused with hoboes, flim flam men were often well dressed, well spoken, and skilled in the art of graft. By the time folks saw through it all, they were moving along to the next town. It's a shame Jackson put up with it for 8 years. Lemumba didn't know the first thing about being a mayor, but he did know how to act like he knew how to be a mayor.

Two problems for the mayor and his loud supporters. First, he's not the first mayor; not the first black mayor. We have a reference point and he fails as measured against ALL previous mayors. All of whom faced the same challenges that this mayor thinks gives him a get out of jail free card.

Second, in 2 years Lumumba will be in a federal prison. He can say he's not guilty from now until the cows come on, but over 90% of federal indictments end with a conviction. 90%!!!! The math says he's getting convicted. That doesn't even factor in the photo of him taking the money. Even if he was a competent mayor--and he's not--the city does not need the distraction of his trial, conviction and eventual resignation. The city has to move on.

If the COJ is 85% black that's a voting pool of around 120,000. Lumumba got less than 6,000 of those votes. Yes, there were whites that crossed over to vote for Horhn but the bottom line is that Lumumba was voted out by his own constituents - i.e. the ones who didn't vote at all. And who could blame them? They have had enough of the incompetence, intimidation, corruption and narcissism of this Mayor and his cabal.

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.

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.

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.
