Who's Afraid of a Debate?

-

Repost: from Dalton Traylor: DISCLAIMER: If you can't stand the heat, you may want to vacate not just the kitchen, but the entire facility. Now. As many of you know, the Young Americans for Liberty chapter at PRCC has planned a debate at the Brownstone center between the qualified candidates running for the district 106 house seat. This has been known since early September. The candidates currently "qualified" are Ben Winston, Daniel Wise, John Corley, Larry Davis, and Greg Holcomb. They were all invited to attend this debate. I felt the community deserved to hear all of their opinions on key issues in a real environment, not a rehearsed speech at a meet and greet.

Now, to the point. I spent hours upon hours preparing for this event, even going as far as to nearly sacrifice the integrity of the debate by reducing the number of questions they needed to prepare for exponentially and randomly assigning and giving the candidates the questions they needed to prepare 90 second responses to almost 2 WEEKS before the debate. All this, just to compensate for the incompetence and insecurity of certain candidates. (Shout out to Ben Winston who was assigned tough questions and didn't back down.

What is the result of all this hard work and cooperation you ask? Complete disrespect and cowardice! John Corley, Greg Holcomb, and Larry Davis (Larry has a potentially legitimate excuse) will not even be in attendance! This is disrespectful to me, the other students and staff that helped me prepare the event, and it is disrespectful to the community! John Corley is not attending because he "can't debate"...REALLY?! How do you expect to defend our views and interests from those crooks in Jackson then?! In that case the only reason you could possibly be comfortable if you're elected to represent us is if you don't actually intend to stand up for us.

Greg Holcomb is apparently afraid we won't be "fair". Yes. We will be fair! And once again I ask, HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO STAND UP TO THE CROOKS IN JACKSON?! Do you think those bastards are gonna play fair? Hate to be the bearer of bad news buddy, but they won't. I expected a lawyer to know that, unless of course your handlers over at Williams Montgomery have some deals worked out for you already.

These men will be absolutely useless to our community as representatives. I promised a while back that those who backed out would be exposed and I promise now that this is just the start. As far as I'm concerned Ben Winston and Daniel Wise are the only legitimate options for this position. If you wish to hear from these two men they will still be speaking at the Brownstone center, October 11th and we look forward to seeing you there.

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
