What's Your Price?

-
At what point would you turn on a person? Often time, we look at shows and say. "Oh, I would never do that!" or when there's a celebrity that takes back a cheating spouse, the first thing some women say is "I wouldn't take him back!" But the truth of the matter is, we don't know how we're going to react until we're in that situation. I don't like people that are not honest. You know the kind that will lie and pretend something is alright just so they can continue to take from you, but after they feel they have taken all they can, then they want to show you how they feel. That's one reason why I like to make people angry, because people never tell you how they really feel about you until they're angry. Jesus was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. Again, what's your price? You may not have lied to a person for a piece of silver but you probably lied to a person for a piece of . . .well. So, let's say you didn't lie for silver, did you lie for chairs, did you lie to stay in a relationship, did you lie for job security. . The list goes on and on. Prior to the things that happened on Sunday, I had a lot of good things that took during the week, but I got side tracked. As Paul said in 1 Thessolanins 2:18, I was on the verge of sharing some good news, but "Satan hindered" me. Last week, I found out we have an honest mechanic in the City of Lumberton. I was having some car trouble and I took my car to Mr. Dale Ford. He checked the car and told me what he thought was wrong, but he said he wasn't certain. He said he didn't want to cause me to have to pay extra because he couldn't pinpoint the issue. So, I took the car to Pine Belt Ford and $590 later, everything was fixed, but Dale Ford was honest enough to tell me to go elsewhere. I appreciate that and I will go by and let him do my next oil change. Also, I had the chance to get an omelet from the Tic Toc Shop (across from City Hall) and it was delicious. Prior to Sunday, I was having a good week and I was thinking how good things were taking place in Lumberton and then I went to church.. .WOWZERS!. . But I'm not going to let that distract me. .The Lumberton Informer will have other stories. In the coming days, I plan on talking about some issues that are taking place with SMDH and MRHA 8. I'm also planning on having a talk with ALL our aldermen, to see what their plans are for this city. Currently, I'm trying to get in contact with former Chief of Police, Dennis Hobson so I can get his perspective on some things I've heard. I don't want to post something I heard without discussing it with Hobson first. Also, I think it's about time for me to close the book on the issues I had with Hobson and hopefully, we can find out what went wrong and how things could have been handled differently. So, if anyone reading this blog has his contact information, please inbox it to me or post a message. Thank you and as always "govern yourselves accordingly."

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

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

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
