Generally, I don't respond to comments made to this blog, but I felt the need to address this comment since I am being credited with making comments about the Louisiana Club. The comment was as follows:

"Johnathan, I was told something yesterday that truly hurt me. I was told that you have made ugly and quite serious comments about the people living in Lumberton, who are from Louisiana. My husband and I moved here 2 years ago and truly love it here. We've made many friends from both La and Ms, and plan to live the rest of our lives here. We're also very involved in this community...... very caring and giving. I have never had a long conversation with you, but any time I went into the library and saw you, I always said hello to you, and I enjoyed the couple times you participated with us in the cooking club. Maybe your comments might have been prompted by someone from La who said or did something personally to you. BUT please don't judge every person from La to be the same. Many of us contribute greatly to this community and want to work just as hard as you all do, to better our little town. Please rethink what you wrote about us."

For the record, you need to check your sources because I never had anything to say regarding the Louisiana Club. My suggestion would be to have the lint licking, son of a biscuit eating dog to confront me face to face since they seem to have so much to say. Once again, for the intellectually challenged readers of this blog, I would like to point out that my comments have my name printed by them and I haven't held back on the things I need or want to say; therefore, I don't waste my time making annonymous comments. But for the record, you can check the comment that was made about the Louisiana Club and the comment was not made by me. Now I know that there are some that like to ease their minds and try and convince themselves as well as others, that I am the one blogging and turning around and making all of the comments. I've dealt with this issue before and I'm certain that I will have to deal with it again. But anything I want to say, guess what, I say it. Whenever I'm not certain about the things I post about, I would say allegedly. Again, the one that told this person that I had some ugly things to say about the Louisiana Club is mis-iformed and I would love to meet this liar face to face to correct any misconceptions he or she has regarding what's on this blog. Thank you and class dismissed.

    A person that I consider a true friend, offered me some clarity on something that was said in the coomment section of this blog. She stated that people believe that I agree with the comments on this blog becasue I allowed the commeent to be posted or allowed the comment to remain on the blog. In the future, I will be diligent, so to speak, regarding the comments that are posted on this blog. I will either state that I don't agree with the comment or somehow distance myself from certain comments made on the blog. For the firt time, I was given a truly honest response regarding the comments made on this blog and will make the necessary adjustments.

    Maybe I'm naive, but when someone makes a comment it shouldn't mean you agree or disagree. It just means someone had a thought, they wanted to express it, & you let them express it in the comment. It shouldn't have to have or need clarification that you agree or disagree. BC when you, Johnathan, have something to say/write you do just that. #Justmythoughts!#

    @Leonette. . that was the way I viewed the matter, but apparently, things are a little different here in Lumberton. I blog the things I want to say, but I don't have anything to do with the comments. Like I stated on yesterday, I guess I will need to write another disclaimer for the comment section, but I just think it's people's way of looking for someone to blame. I didn't say those things about the Louisiana Club and have met several ppl from that club. One member even wanted to start a Miss-Lou Club, but other members thought it would be too much work. Again. . thanks Leonette Davis for your insight into the whole comment situation.

FY Budget 2015: Pills and Potions

I called this post the pills and potions edition because after looking at the budget that was presented; it's obvious this board is overdosing on something. I can't tell where any real cuts were made to the budget; it seems the same. The fact that the board paid Richard Rose $1, 600 to prepare this budget is a joke. Why do we have a city clerk if she cannot prepare a budget? What is she doing all day other than reading the Lumberton Informer or thinking of her next lie? The board claimed that Richard Rose was doing this out of the goodness of his heart, that he knew the City of Lumberton was not in a position to pay him. So, rather than charging the normal going rate for an embattled city manager that was allegedly terminated for not reporting to work and other matters; Rose decided he will charge the fiscally challenged City of Lumberton a mere $1,600 and a motorcycle. Now, keep in mind, the board never voted to hire Richard Rose but somehow, he received a check and a moto

Stealing Elections: Lumberton Style

Last night when I went to the Ben Barrett Voting Center to watch the counting of the vote, I entered the building about 10 minutes before the polls closed and the picture above is what I saw. Throughout the day, many people expressed their concerns that the poll workers didn't match the demographics of the City of Lumberton. I shrugged it off after someone texted me, assuring me that the election was going to be fair. Well, that was not the case. Later in the day, a voter came to me with evidence that the votes had been compromised. They gave me two torn affidavit ballots that were torn up and thrown in the trash in the women's restroom at the voting center. Interesting. There was another person that came to me about the conversation they overheard between Cora Rogers and her mother, Voncile Richardson. It seems that Ms. Voncile wanted to cast a vote for me but her daughter, Cora Rogers, instructed her to mark the ballot for Kent Crider. Interesting. Last

Kim Rogers: A Phenomenal Woman

I've always said that I don't offer balance throughout this blog. It seems that most of the focus is placed on the bad things or more gossipy topics, but I think today is a good day to give credit where credit is due. I know she don't do what she do for attention or accolades but I would like to tip my hat to Mrs. Kim Rogers, founder of the KeKe B Foundation. Kim, like many other women of our community, is a testament to the power of hop, courage and resilience of a loving mother. I don't know how she does it but she has chosen to take a stand when others would have buckled under pressure. Her dedication and courage has touched so many people in so many ways. The work she's doing through the KeKe B Foundation will be a beacon for many generations to come and the she many never realize the impact her courage has made in the lives of others. But despite it all, she is still pressing forward. Kim does not want another parent to experience what she had to experience
