Why Do I Blog?

-

Yesterday, I posted a blog about the old hospital. Last night, I received a call advising me to remove the post because I could be charged with trespassing. So, I removed the post, but after removing the post, I felt that I was not being true to the reason why I blog. So, after looking through the pictures I had taken in the hospital, I realized that I had some valuable information. I had photos of several patient's information. I also called local and county law enforcement officials who told me that it didn't matter that the building wasn't posted with No Trespassing signs that I could still be charged with trespassing if it's private property. Therein lies the dilemma. Do I re-post the blog and take my chances or do I let the matter go? Well, readers of this blog should know the answer to that question. If I'm charged with trespassing, I will blog about it, and contact the ORC (Office of Civil Rights) at 1-866-627-7748 to report the HIPAA violations I uncovered. I am certain that the penalties for HIPAA violations far exceed those for trespassing. The roads from thoughtful consideration to necessary action are often bumpy, but traveling them is necessary to resolve difficult problems. I blog because I want to challenge our elected officials/voting public to make a difference, to not allow their actions to overshadow their reason or impair their judgement. I blog because it's simply what needs to be done. I have secure faith in my judgement because doubting myself is a form of defeat. Roads to change are paved with action.

    Im a little confused??? They cant respond as to why the hospital is not locked or why are there no trespassing signs but everyone is quick to file charges against you for entering the building. Its a shame that important information is just laying on a desk waiting for identity thieves to get their hands on it and use this info to their advantage. If I were you I would report this information to the right people so proper measures can be taken to secure the building or at least to destroy the information left in the building. The problem with this town is that no one wants to be held accountable for the actions that needs to be taken. Im not just talking about the officials in office now, these problems have been here for years and its time somebody take a stand and do whats right!!! *Just my opinion*

FY Budget 2015: Pills and Potions

-
Image
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 ...
