Motivational Monday

-
You may not know it but demanding truth, honesty and transparency in govermnent can be exhausting; especially when you're attacked for speaking the truth. On day, while on Instagram, I saw a post with tne following quote:
"Don't waste time trying to prove your purpose to those who can't appreciate it, but spend time with those who need it to find theirs."
I looked at the quote for an extended period of time because it gave me life (hope). I found the post through a search on Instagram and I immediately started following @THEOSCHAFFER before I realized that he was a motivational speaker, author and life coach. But the best part is he's from Lumberton. I continued to read quotes from his page and Theo Schaffer went on to say:
"One thing I've learned is that when you're called to do something truly unique you will be scrutinized because of others inability to comprehend or equate to it. Instead of succumbing to the temptation to prove to people your purpose, use that energy and motivation to serve others. You ARE needed! Despite how others may feel! You don't have to prove anything other than the One who gave you purpose."
If you're looking for inspiration, motivation, a life coach or a guest speaker at your next event, consider Theo Schaffer.

Theo Schaffer gave me the inspiration needed to continue but his brothers are equally gifted. His brother Micah Schaffer is a talented Christian artist. If you would like to book him for events you can via email. For bookings contact Micah Schaffer: bookmsnow@gmail.com. Micah can also be found on Instagram @mr_schaffer and on Facebook. The oldest brother, Ladric Kelly is a music mogul with his own production company and artists, On Live Entertainment. Kelly is making waves in the music industry as he continues to build his brand. One of my favorite artists on his label is JHarden. If you're interested in contacting Ladric Kelly, find him on Instagram @lkelz601 for booking information. These three brothers are doing great things and they make #LumbertonProud.

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
