Fake News!

 The city of Ridgeland issued the following statement. 

The City of Ridgeland was at the center of some attention over the weekend following the online misinformation regarding the appointment of a Municipal Court Judge.

 

The City of Ridgeland currently has two long-serving Municipal Court Judges who were appointed by the Board of Aldermen in 2001. We currently have no new appointments and no open positions.

 

We invite everyone to take a moment to learn a little more about the City we are proud to call home. Visit ridgelandms.org to find information about City officials and government, upcoming events, senior programs, community news, and the catalog of Ridgeland Life magazines, filled with City updates, features and stories about our community.


Kingfish note: The social media world in Mississippi when this appeared on Facebook last week. 


Ms. Ali is an attorney who primarily practices in Rankin County Chancery Court and federal court.  This appeared on her Facebook page last week and off to the races we went as the freakout began.  Social media posts asking why Ridgeland hired a Muslim as a judge flew back and forth.  The terror reached a feverish pitch as national websites such as the Gateway Pundit ran with it without checking, of course.  


As it turns out, Benoit's Wonder Woman hired Ms. Ali as a municipal court judge.  The immigration attorney posted on Facebook 









Everyone calm down.

There used to be a time in the US where we celebrated a child of immigrant parents working hard and making it to the top of their profession.

Used to be a time when children who where raised by immigrant parents were taught to love America and be grateful for the gifts it offered.

The entire population of Benoit is celebrating —all 365 of them! Yay!
I’m celebrating that Aasma has to drive to Benoit and hear their stupid cases. Perfect

So ... Benoit is now under potential Sharia Law ?

I doubt the locals will embrace this, but it should be funny to watch what happens.

Benoit - Not much going on there these days. I'm very surprised it has municipal court. The vast majority of folks that pass through Benoit do so on their way to Lake Whittington or one of the high dollar hunting clubs behind the levee.

It should probably not shock anyone that Ridgeland is still using the same people they used in 2001.

Benoit who?

Was a time when immigrant parents rushed to quickly assimilate. My great grandparents on one side of the family insisted when they arrived on our shores in the years between the great world wars that speaking their native non-English language stopped with them. And it did.

I've seen her work. She is exceedingly conscientious and very good at what she does - an extremely fine representative of the Bar. I can't say that about of lot of my fellow attorneys.

There was a time in the US, when one would write either:
"...child of immigrant parents working hard, and making it to the top of his or her profession."

or
"...children of immigrant parents working hard, and making it to the top of their professions."

By the way: it's "time WHEN", not "time WHERE".

I went to school in an all-minority rural Mississippi slum. But I would not have made it through Tenth Grade English, without knowing such basics.

Oh, and as for "we" celebrating immigrant gatecrashers, the "we" generally consisted of those implementing the Socialist's 'Long March through the Institutions'.

Why is no one asking why she has to wear the hijab for her religion but she gets to be a judge? Aren’t those things contradictory in Islam? This whole thing is just plain weird.

What’s that you say? A highly competent woman judge who is also religious holding a judgeship position?!?!? The horror!! just clutched my pearls so hard that they broke loose and now I have to pick them all up off of the floor.

Seriously, if you’re one of these people complaining about this, then why don’t you try reading a book and/or leaving your small town of Pelahatchie or Puckett or whatever town is unlucky enough to house a small-minded racist degenerate like you.

That’s right. She signed an oath to uphold the United States Constitution and the Mississippi Constitution, as well as Mississippi law, but she’s going to single handedly implement Sharia Law. Moron.

Anonymous said...

Islamists' intent to surely but gradually substitute Sharia for the US Constitution have earned my wrath. If she wears a hajib she is an Islamic cultist. Islam is a cult of murder, torture, rape, deceit and conquest, not a religion as compared to Judaism and Christianity.

It has helped me narrow down who I might support for Governor.. The nasty attacks on Judge Ali and Atty. Gen. Lynn Fitch came from a certain camp.

Anonymous said...

6:30 she is a MUSLIM who’s private practice focuses on helping other MUSLIM immigrants come here. The MUSLIM faith of ISLAM calls for the DEATH of you and I who are non-muslims. That is why she’s getting so much “hate”. No one wants her in control of anything because they are terrified of us being under placed under Sharia Law after she helps all of her friends and family move here. Or the Islamists killing us all for not joining their faith. You better wake up.

Smart move. Will be great indirect marketing for her legal practice. Move on MAGA boomers.

I am so tired of some people claiming this kind of thing is the start of Sharia Law. Thank goodness we have someone who is willing to drive to Benoit and serve the public.

I wish the Blue Cultists could explain to me when Islam became a race. What would be funny is if she’s a true conservative Muslim and we can watch the Blue Cultists have a mental breakdown like they do in Michigan.

Make me understand this. She WANTS us hard-working, two-fisted Christians dead, but she just can’t say it. Yet. Is that it? Do I have it right? Is that what you’re trying to tell me?

6:59 PM, aren’t we really past so-called upholding “the United States Constitution and the Mississippi Constitution, as well as Mississippi law?”

James Carville says pack the supreme court with members that will do what Democrats want, right? So this means Democrats really don’t care about elections and the so-called law, unless of course it can be used against their enemy fellow Americans standing in the way of making the entire country one-party Democrat rule, right?

And don’t Democrats use catch & release to systematically and continuously put violent criminals back on the streets of cities like Jackson, as a tactic to inflict constant chaos and crime, all for the purpose of keeping those of us that don’t vote Democrat from living there, i.e. to insure one-party Democrat rule?

So really, doesn’t this prove Democrats care nothing at all about “upholding the law?”

I've met her and she is nice, highly motivated and certainly qualified to serve. That being said, I can't imagine taking this position and driving 2ish hours to make a couple hundred dollars per month other than simply putting this on the resume.

I don't think the one token apparent Muslim attorney in the entire State of Mississippi is the harbinger of Sharia law.

I thought yall believed that Obama was Muslim.

Of course, he’s not. But suspending reality and entering y’all’s fantasy world just for the sake of argument, if this shariah stuff were gonna happen because a Muslim is in charge, wouldn’t that have been much more likely to happen during Obama’s presidency than in the judgeship of a single Muslim judge in a tiny down in a backwater corner of the Mississippi Delta?

There really is no bottom to the stupidity and vileness of the MAGA right. These are the same claims made against Jews, Catholics, even the odd Protestant sect, upon arriving in America. Usually made by losers who live in the same place they were born, out of resentment for those who dared to do more with their lives. Always ignoring the plank in their own eye, like Christianity's explicit instructions for owning slaves, or the fact that deep red Christian states are the last holdouts for permitting child marriage in America. Just the fattest, dumbest, most utterly useless dead weight people in the world.

You people on here talking about "how nice" she is, blah, blah, blah....you are the most ignorant, ill-informed idiots our Constitution has ever encountered. Question: "Why is she driving 2 hours to a small town for a judge-ship"??? The answer is that THIS is a MOVEMENT and THIS is the way that Islam has virtually taken over the cities of Ft. Worth and Dallas, Texas who now can say that they have 6+ mosques circling their cities. If one knows anything about world history over the centuries, if they cannot ride and and defeat their foes...they will quietly and tactfully invade an area with a low profile and bring their ideology and SHARIA LAW with them, ie see Michigan whereby they have set up their own sharia law police stations and change the street signs to read in Arabic. We are the frog in a pot of cold water being slowly warmed up at this time, to be eventually boiled to death. IF we let that happen, then we truly are what they call and refer to us as...INFIDELS!

I'm an attorney who practices almost exclusively in Chancery Court and I have limited (purposefully) my practice to Rankin and Madison County. I have NEVER seen this lady in Rankin County Chancery Court.

Anonymous said...

She practices immigration law. They practice before immigration judges, the BIA, and the Federal Courts of Appeal. It is extremely complicated and you have to be incredibly detail-oriented. Lately it is the most stressful type of law that there is. She does an outstanding job for her clients in a terrible legal environment. No one who knows her work has ever disparaged her as far as I can tell.

There is already a massive Islamic Building in Madison on HWY 51. Been there for more than a decade.

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.

Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
