Has Undertaker Ed Ford Dug His Own Grave?

Harold Ford Jr. Must be somewhere saying "Not Again,When will it Stop?"As uncle Edmund Hull Ford,who was named after E.H.Crump joins the list of ford brothers who have faced criminal charges. This undertaker now finds his political career laying on a slab waiting to be embalmed and buried.Federal charges state that he accepted money for a vote on the City council.

Being with Edmund when he opened his funeral home several years back,I recently passed by the business in Whitehaven and saw the fleet of cars he now has at the funeral home and wondered how he was doing it. I knew about the car that Rusty Hyneman had helped him get,But knowing how bad his credit situation was I wondered how he was able to purchased another new Caddy for his wife Myrna.

I thought That maybe the funeral business was being good to him,But then again I wondered having seen Joe Cooper at the funeral home numerous times if Ed was involved in some shady dealings. His wife had told me during the time that the FEDEX forum was being built,that someone had brought Ed $40,000 but he refused to accept it. This was hard for me to believe knowing how hard business and finance was for him at that time.

I also knew that Edmund was going through some baby mama drama, from a young lady that claimed that he fathered a child with her,while she was employed by him,breaking out car windows on his cars parked at the house in whitehaven. So I couldn't see Ed with the money to do the things that he was doing. One of his employees recently told me that Edmund was buying caskets cheap from an employee of Batesville Casket Company who was loading his truck with extra caskets, And then selling this stolen property to Ed.

Edmund ford should resign from the office of City councilman,and allow the people of the district to pick someone to represent them that will not be deterred by charges and the possibility of going to prison.


HERE'S A STORY I DID IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR:

We Have The Best Poli-trick-Ans Money Can Buy
It seems that the citizens of Memphis are being taken for a ride by poli-trick-ans who like Cadillac's and other gifts from rich developers.Rusty Hyneman whose name you will find on most political financial disclosures seems to have local pol-trick-ans bought and paid for.

Seems Shitty councilman Edmund Ford who has bad credit and filed bankruptcy in 1999,is driving a 2004 Cadillac SRX(which I told you about several months ago).Edmund was not able to qualify to purchase the car due to his poor credit.In walks Rusty Hyneman multimillionaire developer,who co-signs for a $50,000 car.Why? Why would rusty care if Ed drives a Cadillac or not? And better yet why with Ed's credit history would he sign for a$50,000 car?

Some may say Edmund needed the car for his funeral home.I doubt it.His hearse and Limo's are not cadillac's.but Lincoln's. The SRX is to small to carry a casket. If Ed needed a car why not lease it from the same place he leases his funeral cars? The car is registered to E.H. ford Mortuary.Ford says he pays his own note,and does not need any help with payments from Hyneman. In fact Ed wants to know what's the problem.

Well Ed,the problem is it seems you have been bought and paid for.Just after Ford received the caddy he voted for two major developments involving Hyneman. Ed wants us to believe that there was no connection.He says no one influences his vote.Bullsh@t.How can you vote against a man who just put his name on the line for you for $50,000? Was $50,000 the price of the two votes? Why not cash? Because you didn't want to put that much cash in the bank at one time.Even with a funeral home you would have to show the funeral contracts to the accountant to justify the $50,000,but better yet since the car is registered to the funeral home the lease payments become an deduction. At least you're not on camera stuffing your pockets with money. Are You?

Rusty Hyneman also bought Michael hooks Sr. A $1,200 airline ticket.this is while hooks was chairman of the county commission. The commission also approves development in Memphis and Shelby county. Its stated that the ticket was for hooks to fly to New York.You mean Commissioner Hooks whose also a business owner could not afford a $1,200 airline ticket?

A business partner of Hyneman arranged for hooks to receive a interest free $16,000 loan to be paid back in trade for services rendered. Hooks also through the years have voted for Hyneman developments. If you're broke how can you balance the people's budget? When Mike was running earlier this year for the state senate he did not live in the district,and was about to lease a house out east in the district,hmmmmm I wonder who owned that house.

Commissioner Tom moss might be able to answer that since he rented a home from Hyneman to establish residency in a new district.In other words he did not live in the district he was running in,so to be able an LIE and say he did in fact live in the district he rented a home for that purpose.To lie to the people.

Barbara Swearengen Holt is so close to Hyneman,she calls him son. Well mama Barbara it probadly would be hard to vote against your son wouldn't it? A son knows his mother,I guess thats why he knows your vote comes cheap.Just tickets to the Grizzlie game.

What we have here are some of the best pol-trick-ans money can buy.Its time to send them all packing. Ed Ford stated on Tuesday when some council members wanted to question those who wanted to replace Janet hooks,there would be no questions he was going to do it his way. Who gives a damn about his way,its not about him but about the concerns and wishes of the people.

To many of these poli-trick-ans think that they are elected to vote their consciences,but if they had a conscience they would not have this city in the financial shape that its in.They would not have made a gentleman's agreement with the mayor to lie to the city of Memphis about the budget,just to get re-elected.They would be in an uproar about having the city's books looked at by an outside source.

Memphis its time to clean house!!! I will be posting tomorrow about a meeting to be called to discuss the RECALL of the mayor and the CLEAN SWEEP of the Shitty Council and the planning and organizing to make it happen.

By the way Ed the only person that believes you're not on the take is your wife.She once told me that when the building of the Fed-Ex Forum was before the council you were offered $40,000 for your vote,but you refused. I guess you voted for it because you thought it was the right thing to do.

Rickey Peete,Repeats His Corrupt Political Ways.

Just how dumb is City Councilman Rickey Peete,to repeat the actions of 17 years ago that sent him to prison? It was 17 years ago this week that Peete was going through the same charges of being a corrupt poli-trick-an that had taken a bribe for his vote as a councilman.

Let's just face it Peete is the definition of corruption in politics. One would think that after serving time in a federal prison that he would know not to use his office to make money. Peete who is known as "The Godfather" was given a second chance,and now has violated the trust of those who went out on the limb to re-elect him to the City Council.

The right thing for him to do is to resign,but since doing right is not in his train of thought,the black community should cry out and demand that he resign. He has lost his effectiveness,and the trust of the people.

For those who have their mouths set to cry racism, this is not the case. The case is a poli-trick-an who accepted money for his vote. With this being the second time for Peete,I'm sure the feds will ask for the max when it comes to time in prison,and rightfully so,Rickey Peete is a career corrupt pol-trick-an who serves no purpose and should be made to serve as an example to other poli-trick-ans who seek to be in office for their own greedy purposes.

What do you think should happen to Peete? Should he resign? Do you have any trust in him? How much time do you think that he should get for his second offense of being a corrupt poli-trick-an?

Here We Go Again

My phone started ringing about 2:45 telling me that Memphis City Council members Rickey Peete and Edmund Ford had been arrested on public corruption charges, along with former Shelby County Quarterly Court member Joe Cooper. Cooper was also an aide and some say a bagman to the late William B. Tanner, promiment Memphis businessman. Remember I told you over a tear ago that it was not over,and guess what it's still not over

The two Council members are accused in federal complaints - following an investigation called "Operation Main Street Sweeper" - of taking bribes to forward favorable recommendations to the Land Use Control Board, or L.U.C.B., to repeal a moratorium on billboards on October 27th. Cooper is charged in a separate investigation called "Operation Clean Sweep" with money laundering with convicted drug dealers.


According to the complaint, Peete was paid $12, 000 at his office on three dates (September 12th, 20th and October 4th). Ford was paid $6,900 total at his mortuary.

An informant told FBI agents that he had lobbying relationships with both of the Council members, telling them that he would periodically make payments to the two for the purpose of buying influence. The informant reportedly assisted Ford in securing financing for his car and for his mortuary.

Both voted in favor of the proposal to repeal the moratorium following the bribes. Both were reportedly captured on tape.

FBI agents plan to interview all of the other Council members about the charges. They have indicated that their investigation is ongoing.

Both Peete and Ford appeared in federal court today. Cooper's appearance date is unknown. Peete was released on his own recognizance. His next appearance will be for a preliminary hearing on December 20th before Judge Allen. Ford has not yet to be released. I drove by his home in Whitehaven and numerous cars were parked in front of house on Shady Hollow.

The City Council released a statement late today, saying:

"The FBI investigation and indictments of public corruption on the Memphis City Council is surprising to us all. The business of the Council in the governance of the great City of Memphis continues. We remain hopeful the outcome of this will be positive for our city and its legislative branch of government."

Other Council members were quick to react.

"It's very shocking to me," said Chairman Tom Marshall. Councilman Myron Lowery said, "It's surprising to every member of the council."

"I want to know the truth. The rest of the public wants to know the truth," said Carol Chumney.

"When you take these jobs you are supposed to want to take them to help people it's really not about money," said Chumney.

She is running for mayor and says Ford and Peete may want to resign.

"It might be better to step aside i know if someone feels they are innocent they don't want to do that b/c they feel unjustified but certainly the public wants them to give the undivided attention to do the job they elected them to do," she said.

"Regardless of this tragic occurrence today, we are gong to operate with their best interest and we're going to operate with integrity and dignity," said Marshall.But I think that the two should resign from their elected positions, there roles as elected officals have been tainted and the smell from them is stinking across the city of Memphis.

There is no excuse for what has happened, The cry of racism should not work, because each and every one of us know that the two council members knew better. I'm sure Roscoe Dixon is laughing his ass off knowing that soon he will have company from home.

Here's the entire press conference thanks to Action News 5...http://www.wmcstations.com/global/video/popup/pop_player.asp?ClipID1=1094832&h1=Council%20members%20arrested%20-%20Watch%20the%20entire%20news%20conference&vt1=v&at1=News&d1=1094100&LaunchPageAdTag=Homepage&activePane=info&playerVersion=1&hostPageUrl=http%3A//www.wmcstations.com/&rnd=79586164

Did Memphis Police Turn On their Own?

I will report a story on tomorrow that the mainstream media has either sat on or does not know anything about. This story will be supported by a legal deposition taken by a local attorney who questioned Police director Larry Godwin and filed a class action law suit against the city and the police department. It will also be backed up by police officers whose names will remain anonymous.

The story will reveal how police officers were forced to turn on fellow officers without cause.How the tact unit was used against police officers,how officers were placed in a room and not allowed to leave, How the Command unit alone with Director Godwin were dressed in bullet proof vests to protect themselves against officers in case of trouble, How the police helicopter was on standby in case the Command unit needed a fast get away. The lawyer even states that the officers had there guns taken away from them,even though they were still on duty. And you will be surprised by the comments of the police director about this incident.

This story will rock City Hall and the mayor will have to give in account for what happened. If our city council persons have any balls they will ask for an investigation.

SIDE NOTE: I don't do drugs or sell them, So if any are found in my cars they were planted. Neither do I have any problems that would make me take my life. And yes I live right next door to the police director


DUE TO THE BREAKING NEWS ON RICKEY PEETE AND EDMUND FORD,THIS STORY WILL APPEAR THIS WEEKEND

Part 2 Of "Damn Willie What Happened"? The Black Community Will Be My Major Focus

CLICK HERE TO HEAR WILLIE SPEAKlies%20willie%20told%20part%201.wav

In this part 2 of "Damn Willie What Happened" You will hear a portion of an interview with the late Vernon Ash who at the time had a talkshow on WLOK.In this interview Willie states that even though if elected he would have to be the mayor of all the people his major focus would be on the conditions of blacks in Memphis

He also states that at the time that blacks had elected blacks that sold them out,and that blacks had not held black leadership accountable. When you hear him you will wonder who is this guy,this can't be Willie Herenton who who himself does not want to be held accountable,and has made very little focus or impact on black neighborhoods.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE WORDS THAT HAVE COME BACK TO HAUNT WILLIE?

Was the Bishop A Player?

Benjamin Jimerson alleges that former Presiding Bishop J.O.Patterson Sr of C.O.G.I.C. is his father,and that he has been cheated out of his inheritance by his brother J.O.Patterson Jr. Here is his mother's account of her relationship with the former Bishop in a letter to Bishop L.H.Ford who became the Presiding Bishop after Patterson's death.


THE LETTER.......DC_250291.pdf

What Will Katheryn Do

Former state senator Katheryn Bowers will go on
trial some time next spring unless she pleas guilty for her role in the Tennessee Waltz. Bowers played it smart several months ago when she got her trial delayed. It's my opinion that she delayed her trial to see what sentence Roscoe Dixon would receive.

If Katheryn goes to trial and is found guilty she could receive as much or more time than Dixon. But my prediction is that she will make her decision after she sees what will happen to John ford if he's found guilty. But if she knows something on other corrupt poli-trick-ans,she needs to squeal before John does.

Do you think that Bowers could survive prison? What job would they give her in the big house? Do you think that the other women would ravage her? Do you think she needs to do whatever she can to save herself? Who do you think bowers will take down with her to shorten her time if convicted?

Sharon Webb Receives $200 From Republicans

Sharon Webb in her bid to kiss the ass of the republican party attended a republican function on last night where she received $200 from the East Shelby Republican's Group,For her bid for the school board. What chance does this democrat in republican clothing have running in a heavy democratic area as a trophy for the republican party? If Carl Johnson is smart he will let democrats in the district know that a token republican is trying to trick them, and make sure he gets his supporters to the polls.

cant%20be%20free%20with%20white%20folk%20money.wav


Willie Herenton 16 years ago while running for the job of Mayor of Memphis stated "You Can Not Be Free As Long As You Take The White Man's Money".Yet during his tenure as mayor he has taken millions from whites in the way of campaign contributions. the question has been asked by many how did he become wealthy as the mayor of this city.


He also speaks of how whites will not save this city,But that God has called his chosen people to raise up. was this just something that willie herenton was saying to incite emotions and to garner black support by giving the appearance that he was part of the movement to make Memphis a better place for blacks?


Willie speaks of making a conventant not to take money from whites,But as his campaign disclosures show,he lied to those he made the conventant with and has become the best dressed slave in history.

Herenton's Campaign Disclosure........willies%20finances.pdf

IF THE ELECTION COMMISSION CARES THEY WILL FIND NUMEROUS VIOLATIONS OF CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS IN HIS DISCLOSURE......

Who will John Expose To Save Himself?

John Ford goes to trial for his role in The Tennessee waltz early next year. Will John go to trial,or will he plead guilty? Or will John make a deal and tell all he knows? I'm hearing that there are some very nervous lawmakers in Nashville,both black and white. John Ford knows where all the bodies are buried,and he would tell on his mama,if it would save John Ford.

As a member of the PBA and if some millions where done away with involving the FEDEX forum,John knows where it went. So some local lawmakers are probadly worried as well because they know that unlike Roscoe Dixon,If John goes down he's taking someone with him.

Whose Fooling Who?

I have documentation that will prove that Sharon Webb is playing politics,and that she's using the republican party to get over on the black community. The documents will show that she never voted as a republican until the Congressional race where she was put in after telling the republican party that if they endorsed her she could get black votes for Mark white. And that information comes from an official in the party. The document will also show that in the may 2,primary she voted as a democrat,and the very next day May 3, she filed for the Charter Commission as a republican.

School board district 6 in a very heavy democratic voting area,are republicans using her to gain republican support for their ideas and agendas,Or is she using the republicans has a steppingstone to fulfill her agenda? Even though the race is non partisan, her paperwork with the election commission states that she's a republican. When did she make up her mind to become a republican? When one day she's voting as a democrat and the very next day after the deal is cut she's a republican.

Many people in her district will not vote for a republican,I wonder if Carl Johnson will let the people of district 6 know that they are being played?

Coming Tomorrow: The Letter From The Mistress Of Bishop J.O.Patterson Sr.

Tomorrow I will be posting the letter that Jessie Jimerson sent to Bishop L.H.Ford,who was the Presiding Bishop after the death Of Bishop J.O.Patterson Sr. The letter will give many of the sordid details of how the Man of God impregnated her with two children,and how she alleges that another man was paid with stolen money from the church to claim that he was the father of her children.

The letter will tell how she was forced out of Memphis after being raped and gased. Also I will print a portion of the book "The Prodigal Son" written by the hidden son of Bishop Patterson,Benjamin Jimerson where he claims that two men who knew the secret of the Bishop met with untimely deaths,One who supposely committed suicide,and the other who was an excellent swimmer who drowned,but a witness heard him cry out for help before they heard the splash of the water.

Damn,Willie What Happened?The Series

Willie Herenton 15 years ago ran for mayor of Memphis,promising to make life better for blacks in the city. He spoke against building arenas downtown while other areas of the city was neglected. He spoke against black poli-trick-ans who were not being held accountable by the black community. He also spoke out against black preachers who allowed white poli-trick-ans to pay them off for their support. Oh what high hopes we had for Willie,The black community thought that finally our day had come,that we were about to overcome,and share in the steak on the table and not just the crumbs that fell from it.

The black community thought that we had a black man that could not be bought off by the white powerbrokers in this city,He even stated "You Can Not Be Free As Long As You Take The White Man's Money". But we have found that he must be the best dressed slave in history. Willie has taken millions from whites,while many areas of Memphis where blacks reside have not reaped the benefits of his being mayor.


He has become one of the poli-trick-ans that does not want to held accountable,and many black preachers are still on the political whore track. Its sad that many in the black community don't care what he does as long as he gives the appearance of being tough,and he attacks a white man every now and then. But the whites he attacks are not the powerbrokers.

15 years later Willie Herenton has proven to be totally self serving,He's lied about the budget,made deals with certain city councilman so he says to pitch that lie. And if you don't believe that he knows what happen to the missing floor at the FEDEX forum alone with all the millions, than you are real naive and the kind of person that will support him no matter what.

I have outtakes of speeches that Willie Herenton made while running for mayor 16 years ago. I am in the process of preparing them to be heard online,you will be shocked at the statements he made then and the actions taken after becoming mayor. Willie's words will come back to haunt him,

Is Barbara Swearengen Holt About To Change Her Last Name?

Sources say that wedding bells will be ringing soon at city hall,and the bride will be City Councilwoman Barbara Swearengen Holt. The groom will be Rev. Albert Ware who pastors a church in the Frayser community. So congrats Barbara,show those young women without a man how its done.

Webb Says She Got A BA,MA, And Two Doctorate Degrees In Four Years

Hoping to soften the blow of this blog radio talk show host contacted Sharon Webb to give her his support and allow her to defend herself against what has been proven as degrees with no merit.

But after listening to her on radio I am more convince that she has no business on the school board. She presented no ideas or thoughts on how to make Memphis city Schools better. All she gave was the same old song and dance of how our children are failing and we need to do something about it. But she gave no plan for a policy that would get the job done.

Jennings only reason for giving her his support is that Johnson has been on the board for 35 years and its time for a change. I totally agree that 35 years is to long,But do we replace him with someone who has no idea what the job entails is foolish.

I finally took all that I could stand of the soft questions and her religious answers to every question so I called in. I asked her about her degrees and how long did it take to get four of them. She answered that it only took her four years to get four degrees. That's right she says that she got a MA,BA,and two Doctorate degrees in just a four year span.That's a degree a year. From what I hear from people who have real degrees her claim is totally impossible. Could you imagine her on the school board telling children "don't study go online".

Hell, I've got $1,900.00 By this time next year I could be Thaddeus Augustus Matthews PHD and Willie Herenton and I could have a boxing match called "The Battle Of The Docs"

Sharon, if your degree's are not recognized by "The United States Department of Education" or "Council on Higher Education Accreditation"(And They Are Not) they are worthless...........http://www.degreefinders.com/distance_learning/accreditation.php

Republican Sources Say That A Deal Was Cut With Sharon Webb

After reading here about the online degrees of Sharon Webb,Republican leadership is now wondering how they ever endorsed her for the Charter Commission. A spoke tonight with a republican source who states that a backroom deal was cut with Webb,thinking that she could garner black votes for mark White in his bid for congress.

I'm told that the Executive body of the Shelby County Republican party did not vote to endorse Webb, but certain republican leaders who believed that she had clout acted on their own. My source states that Webb presented herself as a republican who had connections in the black church,and that if the party would support her,she could bring in a large number of black votes for white.

During this time Webb had attached herself to Richard Mack a black political whore who sells himself off to unwise republicans as one who has the vote of the black church in his hands. Mack was involved in the campaigns of John Willingham,and the first race for senate of Terry Roland. Roland distance himself from Mack after Mack weekly had an emergency where he needed $500.00.Mack has never been able to do anything that he has promise the republicans but in their desperation to get the black vote they allow him to screw them.

The republicans thought that with Jake ford and Steve Cohen in the race splitting the black vote that White had a chance,especially if Webb and Mack, and Rev.Willie Hardy could bring in the black vote. I'm told that republicans gave her money for her campaign for the Charter Commission,and some of those same republicans have given her money for her bid for the school board.

The party did not check her voting history,They took her word that she votes republican. I checked her voting history through the Shelby County Election Commission's data base and found that she has never voted republican. So yes, the republican party has been had.

Sharon Webb is just another political trickster who has her own agenda. I will be pulling her finance disclosure for her Charter commission campaign on tomorrow morning and we'll see where the money trail goes.

Roscoe's Last Night At Home

Former state senator Roscoe Dixon starts a new life tomorrow as he enters a federal prison in Oakdale Louisiana, for his role in the Tennessee Waltz. Dixon the first to go to trial in this federal sting was sentenced to 5 years. A close associate of Dixon states that he will leave for prison early Tuesday morning.

When he arrives he will have to walk away from his wife and family and start life as a convicted felon. Even though Roscoe brought all of this on himself,I take no joy in seeing a man that I know has been of service in the community go off to prison. But Roscoe's conviction should serve as a wakeup call to other poli-trick-ans who serve their own agendas and violate the trust of those who send them to office without blinking an eye.

I was speaking tonight with a long time friend of Dixon,and I asked him had he spoke with him. He replied "I want to But I don't know what to say" Not knowing what to say is the norm when someone that you have admired violates your trust in them. Roscoe Dixon has gotten under the law what he deserves,But I still hate that it had to happen. I hate that he chose to allow greed and power to take over his better judgment. Hopefully soon Roscoe, John and Katheryn will join you so you want have to be so alone.

Sharon Webb Says That She Forgives Me

This is an e-mail I received from Sharon Webb tonight:


Dear Thaddeus,

Thank you for considering to help me. I do ask that you forgive me for feeling as though I deceived you. All of my credentials are earned. However, I placed them there to show that I was qualified in the Christian areana which is what our school system needs. I forgive you as well and I pray that you would love the Lord with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength and that you would love your neighbor as you self. I also pray that you will allow the Lord to order your step according to His will and that you will fulfill your destiny in Him. I will not trouble you further. Thank you for your precious time.

Dr. Sharon A. Webb.



Sharon you have just proven to me that you are full of bull, First of all I don't seek your forgiveness. As one who researches I presented what your school was all about. You presented yourself as something that you're not. If your credentials were earned,when did you attend classes? Did you have a classroom experience? How long did it take you to earn the four degrees from this school? Why did you leave Memphis Theological Seminary?

You stated that you posted your Sunday school degrees because,that's what our school system needs. Please tell me what as a school board member can you do to bring Christian values into a classroom. There is NO policy that you can set as a board member that will instill Christian values,In fact that's a job for parents.

All the children in Memphis City Schools are not Christians,so what do you plan to do ,have a tent meeting and preach,then you would probadly want a offering. It is the job of parents to instill religious values not the board. Maybe you need to set up a free program at your church to instill family values in parents so that they are versed in our to raise there children not to rob and steal.

Sharon you may have great ideas,but you have no idea as to what a board member can or cannot do. I do love the Lord with all my heart,that's why I spend my time taking the covers out those who would desire to fool the people of God. God tells us not to be ignorant,Poli-trick-ans like you want to keep people dumb to the facts.and hate people like me who don't give a damn about who you think you are. Your spiritual flogging is wasted, you can't use pulpit tactics of using flowering words to make it appear that I have mistreated you. You want to be a poli-trick-an,but you're not smart enough to realize that people in this community wonder first what you're going to do on the charter commission.

You Sharon are not a doctor but a political wannabe, who wants to play on the minds and emotions of people who you think will give you a vote just because you say you are a Christian are have letters behind your name. You failed to mention the one degree that we all know that you have,B.S. (BULLSHIT)

And for someone with with a BA,MA, and two Doctorates you would think that you could spell the word arena

The Sex, Greed, and Coverup Within C.O.G.I.C.

I received in the mail the book that Benjamin Jimerson promised to send me, "Prodigal Son Child Of The King" which depicts his life as the hidden son of the late Bishop J.O.Patterson Sr,former Presiding Bishop of C.O.G.I.C. This book could make for a great movie. It has sex,greed,and plenty of intrigue. It even alleges that two persons may have died because they knew to much.

I haven't finish the book as of yet, When I took it out of the mail this morning,I guess it was delivered yesterday,I started to read it and it got so interesting that I took it with me to church to be able to read between services. The book even has a letter from his mother that was sent to Former presiding Bishop L.H. Ford who became Bishop after Patterson in 1990. This letter gives all the details.

In fact let me give you a little of what the letter is all about. The letter is signed by sister Jessie Jimerson,Benjamin's mother. The letter is also notarized. The letter is dated November 7, 1990. The letter starts out reminding Ford of who she is,how she directed the radio choir,and how god had led her to Memphis.

She goes on to state that at the time she met J.O. Patterson Sr,he was an elder at the time and pastored a church at 1010 Woodlawn with less than 50 members. She states " I became a member and was faithful,singing,teaching and directing the choir" she goes on to state that a group was formed called "The Pentecostal Ensemble"

Jessie Jimerson states in the letter that she lived in the Patterson home for seven years as part of the family.she says that she gave Sister Patterson a portion of her income as she worked various places such as Farber Brothers,an as an underwriter for North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company.

She goes on to state that in 1957 J.O.Patterson Sr expressed his desire for her, She says 'I refused and told Sister Patterson I wanted to move and get my own place" she talks about how a Mother Johnson wanted her to live with her and help with the Bible band,and that Sister C.H.Mason knew of her desire to go to Africa as a Missionary and wanted to help her go.But Sister Patterson got furious and said no! "God sent you to us"

Jessie Jimerson states she left Memphis when she found out that she was pregnant. She writes that Patterson gave her $250.00 and she left driving to Arkansas to her fathers home. She states "I was so despondent that I parked my car on the railroad tracks and said I'll end it all". She goes on to state how Rev. Jasper Williams sermon saved her.

After that ordeal she called Mrs.patterson and was told to come back to Memphis. She states that as a result of her affair with Patterson she has two children fathered by him She says that Patterson offered her $5,000 thru Attorney Kirkpatrick(he's one of the persons who came up dead),she states that she refused the money. The letter states that Elder T.E.Ray was paid $1,400 to claim paternity of her children,she says that it was later discovered that$1,400 was stolen from the church safe. Her letter goes on to state how she was forced to leave Memphis after she was raped and gased.

The book even tells of how Benjamin and his mother and sister went hungry one thanksgiving,and how another family of 11 didn't have much but brought over a plate.he tells of how his mother gave the plate for them to share and went without. But he says that later that night he had to go to the restroom and saw his mother eating the scraps that they had left on the plate.

This book is very interesting,and could cause a stir within COGIC, Patterson left millions,even reportly $300,000 in the home safe. Benjamin and his sister never received a dime. I'm told that within the by-laws of COGIC that there is a provision that the children of a Presiding Bishop is forever looked after by the church.

Does this book show that even those who call themselves the holiest of holy can fall victim to sex? Can COGIC accept that Patterson and all other bishops are just men? Would you like for me to post this letter to the site,and maybe even the book? The book even tells of how Bishop C.H. Mason the founder of COGIC found out that his son-in-law,J.O.Patterson Sr,was cheating on his daughter.

This is the story that COGIC does not want told,But There's more to come.

Keith Mcghee CAO Of The City,Has A Online Degree

Its seems that when a poli-trick-an isn't smart enough to set in a classroom in the college setting, he or she now has a way to fleece the public coffers of taxpayers money. These dummies are enrolling in online colleges where with little or no effort they are able to acquire a degree without ever setting foot on a college campus.

The recent revelation that Charter Commission member Sharon Webb's two Doctorates, her MA,and BA degrees are just Sunday School degrees, has open a can of worms that may show that some in government are vastly overpaid. Webb who is running for School Board has given the illusion that she's really smart and boast of her degrees,she even calls herself Doctor. But the school where she acquired her degrees state that they can only be used in a church setting,and cost $1900 per degree. You mean to tell me she wasn't smart enough to get a class room degree?

How does the school know that the work being done is actually from her? They don't,and don't care as long as she is able to pay the 41900 to buy her degrees. How can she ask for the trust of the community as an example for our children when she has been a cheat herself?

But now lets move on to the second in command of city government, Rev. Keith Mcghee. Mcghee's degree was acquired from Thomas Edison State College,an online school. That's right the CAO of the city got his degree by way of the internet. He never attended class,he took no test to even take the online courses. The school states that no test is required,as long as you are a high school graduate. No SAT's,No Gateway test, just the money needed to buy a degree.

Mcghee makes over $130,000 per year as the CAO. The requirements I'm sure state that one should have a degree for the job,But I'm sure it didn't mean sat at the computer and get a degree without ever attending college. Does Willie Herenton know that Mcghee is an online college graduate? Should colleges in Memphis that require setting in a class room be outlawed? Should the city council take a look at the education of the political appointees of the mayor to see if taxpayers money is being wasted on these apparent slicksters?

It was rumored in city hall that Mcghee and Yolanda mcfagdan were involved in a heated love affair,where his city car's tires were slashed by his wife in the garage at city hall. In fact I saw him and her at a eatery on Summer during the time that the romance was supposed to be going on. When I told him that I saw him and Mcfadgan, he told me that it wasn't him. Yeah right.

I was called by a deacon of the church he pastors in 2003 while I was still on the radio telling me how the church was about to fire him for his outside relationship,because it was hurting the church and his wife. I confronted McGhee about the statements of the deacon, and was told that the deacon was just mad at him because he wouldn't allow him to have his way.

Sharon Webb and Keith Mcghee I'm sure are not the only frauds, lets keep looking who knows what else I'll find. I wonder when Willie wants to place someone whose not qualified in an politically appointed position,he tells them to just go online and get a degree?

Is Kramer Star, Michael Richards Alone In His Feelings?

I was asked today about the racist tirade of Michael Richards,the misfit from the television show "Kramer". Its my opinion after viewing his comments,that he gave his true feeling of blacks. What do you think? I wonder how many more whites in this country think and feel like him?

Keith Mcghee CAO Of The City, Live Or Memorex?

Since the posting of Sharon Webb and her Sunday School degree,Someone has posted concerning the credentials of the city's CAO Keith Mcghee. I have not as of yet been able to find a resume on Mcghee,But I'm sure someone will get it for me. I could request it from City Hall under the Freedom of Information Act, But I would be stone walled. So if anyone has Mcghee's resume e-mail me at thaddeus.matthews@gmail.com

Mcghee does pastor a church in Millington,and did have some problems there several years ago. I was contacted by a deacon of the church who spoke of Mcghee having a relationship with a woman in the church, I spoke with Mcghee about this and he says that it was not true. But several sources out of city hall stated that during this same time Mcghee's wife came to the city garage and slashed the tires on his city car.

The thing that has puzzled me is how he went from working in the jail to second in command of the city. Maybe someone can enlightened me.


Do you think that there are other poli-trick-ans with fake degrees,or degrees they receive without ever setting foot in a class room?

Will Carol Knock Out Willie In 07?

The fight next week between Willie Herenton and Joe Frazier is just a fluff fight,where two old men get in the ring and throw kindergarten punches, and go home. But the real fight for Willie will come next year when Carol Chumney takes him on. I expect that several blacks will get in the race and the results could end up like this years congressional race.

There are rumors of other white candidates getting in the race,such as Jack Sammons,Dr. Mark Rodebush, And Former City Councilman Vergos. But of the white candidates the best choice because she can pull both black and white support. Many in the black community see her as the only councilperson fighting for the people,an has balls enough to speak the truth.

We Need To Look Real Close At Sharon Webb

In researching Sharon Webb,I found that one of the platforms that she used to get elected to the Charter Commission,the commission will have no authority to do. She wants to combine the City of Memphis school with the Shelby County school board. Mrs Webb needs to understand that both these boards are Corporations,and that to combine the boards would be solely in the hands of the two boards,not the Charter Commission,or even the city Council of County Commission.


In her bid for the school board it seems that she's not aware of the power of the board that she wants to serve on. Another factor is the factor that this sounds like the plan Willie had several years ago in consolidating the two school systems. Could she be Willie's candidate? Is the mayor trying to plant members on the school board that will vote his bidding?

Lastly a lot has been said about whether or not Sharon Webb is a Democract or Republican. In researching her voting history through the Shelby County voters registration data base, I find that she has never voted republican. But that really concerns me, because the Republican party endorsed her for the Charter Commission. Why would the Republican Party endorse Sharon Webb and she has never voted for the party? Has there been a deal cut that we know nothing about?

Is Sharon Webb A Fraud?

Earlier this week I received an e-mail from Sharon Webb who faces a December 12,run off against Carl Johnson for the district 6 school board seat. Mrs. Webb asked for my help in her race. I've met Webb several times,including having her as a guest on my radio show several years ago. My concern about the district 6 seat is that maybe after nearly 40 years on the board it was time for Johnson to be replaced with someone with some new concepts.

With no one else in the race I decided to support Webb based solely on the fact that I believe that no poli-trick-an should serve forever, and from reading her platform had some good ideas. I personally like Johnson and think that basically he has served well,and has been a strong voice on many issues,some I agree with and others I disagree with.

After I posted her resume, I was surprised that there were those who had a problem with her politics. Commenters stated that she was a republican,So I ran her name through the Shelby County voter registration data base,and found out that she votes democratic,with no record of a republican vote.

But I became concerned when a poster suggested that the various degrees that Mrs. Webb states that she has,are mail order or home study degrees. So I decided to check it out for myself,to see if Sharon Webb had decided to make me a part of a political game that she wanted to play on voters,Which if she had I would do whatever I could daily to remind voters that she had not been honest with them.

Webb states that she received a BA in Religion Christian Education,MA in Religion of Christian psychology,Doctorate of Religion Arts in Christian Education,Doctorate of Religious Arts in Theology. I noticed that she did not give the time that she attended Jacksonville Theological Seminary which also made me curious.

In researching the school I found that the school which is located in Milledgeville Ga, is basically a online bible college,giving home study degrees.Even though the school is registered with the Florida Department of Education,It is not a part of the Florida Department of Education, which means its degrees are not recognized by the state.

The degrees awarded are all of a ecclesiastical nature and to be used solely for religious service. This statement is a part of the school's disclosure. There is also a price for the various degrees,$1,900 for a BA with 30 hours,$1,900 for a MA with 30 hours, and a Doctorate is also $1,900 with 30 hours. There is also a fee to graduate.

So what we have is another trickster whose degrees serve no purpose outside of church,In fact that's what the school itself states. Sharon Webb made the attempt to fool the community into thinking that she is learned,when in fact she's a political phoney. What Webb did not realize is that I have no political allegiance to any poli-trick-an,and that if I think that the covers need to be pulled I will pull them.

It's not a norm that a poli-trick-ans stated degrees are checked,and I would not have checked if the poster had not been so adamant about her degrees being phoney. Having now the knowledge that I have, I must recant my support for Sharon Webb. While I still believe that Carl Johnson has been in office to long,he must not be replaced by someone who has an agenda other than our children.

Hopefully other media outlets that daily read this blog will pick up on this story and make sure that Sharon Webb is not elected to the school board. I will make it my business until December 12,to remind this community that Dr. Sharon Webb is only an online Doctor.

Here's info on the school......http://stair.tripod.com/

Willie Can Not only Box But Can Sing To

A HOLIDAY SONG FROM THE MAYOR....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN6U-sw_Xoc

MR MAYOR WHERE DID THE MILLIONS GO?

Something Else For The Mayor To Fight

Willie while you're in a fighting mode,Why not knock out some of these appointed positions? Since you have 300 more appointees than the City Charter calls for. Why not save the taxpayers some money,since the charter only calls for a 102 appointees?


appointed%2520employees%25203-3-05a.pdf

HERE'S A COPY OF A STORY I WROTE A YEAR AGO:

Where Should The Cuts Start?

Would cuts in the salaries of some of Herenton's appointee save the city money? and these are just a few.

Gale Jones Carson $84,249.36 (How much does she need to follow Willie around?)
Yalanda Mcfadgon $70,040.36 (crumbs for a woman who went to prison for handling a drug dealers money)
Darryl Anderson $123,600.36
Richard Arwwood $113,564.88 (Fire Director)
Cynthia Buchanan $109,385.90
Alvin Benson $103,421.24
Jerry Collins $112,335.86
Earnest Dobbins $103,421.24
Lorene Essex $112,335.86
Robert Fouche $109,385.90
Arthur Gaskins Jr. $109,385.90
Lisa Geater $ 90,042.94 (She works in the council office, her salary is 3 times theres.I could tell you some things about her and another elected official but I'll save it)
Larry Godwin $113,564.88 (Police Director)
Sara Hall $112,335.86 (city attorney)
Robert Lipscomb $112,335.86
Elisabeth Keenon Mccloy $109,385.90
Keith Lashun Mcghee $137,647.38(CFO of the city.why does he make more than the Police and Fire Directors?)
Sheila Whalum $96,923.06

These are just a few of the high paid appointees of the mayor. there are nearly 300 appointed employees at city hall. What do you think about these salaries do you think anyone needs to be cut.By the way do you think these two may be relatives paid at your expense:
Terrence Johnson $31,827.12
Terrencelyn Johnson $50,647.48

Willie's Real Fight Will Come Next Year

Willie Herenton's fight next week is a weak ploy to make some in the black community think that he's tough. Herenton knows that his reign as King is in trouble,But if he can make big enough fools of some blacks he feels that he will reign supreme again. He knows that even though the RECALL did not happen that there are thousands who are not pleased with him as mayor of this city.

This joke of a fund raiser for the Drug Court is a political hoax brought on by a man who has lost focus on the real concerns of the people he serves. What about crime Willie? What are you going to do to make the citizens of this community feel safe? Oh that's right you want to hire 500 additional police officers,by increasing the property taxes of those who are already being taxed to death.

Since you're so tough,give up your bodyguards and let those officers hit the streets and protect and serve those who need them,not some old fighter who wants to relive his youth in a fluff match. If you want a fight,fight for the safety of this community. Take the policeman away from the gates of your home, And since you are in charge of the police,walk through our neighborhoods and arrest the drug dealers and those who prey on the elderly.

When this fight first came up, the mayor stated that the money raised would be split between the Drug Court and Lemoyne College, What happen to that idea? Is that just another lie that Willie has told the black community to appease them? Just like the lie he told about the budget several years ago.

The real fight will take place next year when Carol Chumney takes on Willie, Or maybe he'll be knock out by Herman Morris or some other candidate. So Willie get ready for a real fight,not with another old man with Geritol in the corner instead of water, And Depends on instead of boxing trunks,But with the people.

Thanks,Penny

Anfernee"Penny" Hardaway proved today that he is more than just another NBA star. Hardaway proved that he remembers from whence he came,and that he cares for people. Hardaway who grew up in the Binghampton community and shot ball at Lester Community Center gave away 100 Thanksgiving baskets away to needy families in the community.

Penny himself could not be in Memphis today so he had the event handled by Congressman-Elect Steve Cohen. Cohen who has committed himself as congressman to being a servant of the people passed out to each family a basket that the receiving families will not soon forget.

The food was purchased from the Honeybake company. Each family received a Honeybake ham and turkey,a broccoli rice casserole,sweet potato souffle,cornbread dressing,potato au gratin,all of which came already cooked,and has only to be placed in the oven. Each family also received a pecan pie, a bag of Honeybake rolls, and a 12 pack of drinks.

Hardaway and his Memphis aide Greg Moore are to be commended for thinking of others in this season of Thanksgiving. Also Congressman-Elect Steve Cohen is to be commended for starting his tenure as congressman serving others.

If The Law Says That O.J. Simpson Has Committed No Crime Why Is He Treated Like A Criminal

In America our laws say that once you go to trial for a crime and a jury of your peers find you innocent of that crime,No matter what the thoughts are of others you are considers innocent and should be treated as such.

I don't know, and neither do you if O.J. Simpson did in fact murder Nicole Brown Simpson And Ron Goldman,But he was charged,helded,tried, and found NOT GUILTY of the murder charges, but yet many in this country want to say that the jury made a mistake. Yes Goldman and Nicole Simpson are dead but where is the proof of O.J's guilt.

What is it that many are angry about? Is it that a black man may have killed a white woman and got away with it? Is it that a black man married a white woman and that white women is now dead and somebody needs to pay? But whatever the reason according to the laws of this land Simpson is innocent.

Why so much attention on this case? Robert Blake was charged with killing his wife, a jury found him not guilty,where is the outcry? Didn't the murders of Emmitt Till confess? Where is the outcry? If we were to be totally honest is the outcry ringing so loudly because some think that a black man has committed the perfect crime and gotten away with it, and now he wants to rub your nose in it?

The book "If I Did It" which now has been taken off of store shelves,but will surely show up in bootleg form,may be a cold and sick way to make a dollar,But Hollywood does it every day. Why doesn't O.J. have the right to make a living? Was the reason that the civil Court found him liable for the two deaths a way to appease white America? If a criminal court has said he didn't commit the crimes how can any other court reverse that?

Every one involved in the case has become wealthy off of Simpson's name, so why shouldn't he be allowed to gain wealth off of the use of his name and be able to market himself however he chooses? Why does America want to violate its own principals? How can we tell some that you have been found innocent now go on with your life,And not tell OJ the same thing? Is there two sets of rules?

No matter what you or I think of OJ Simpson in the eyes of the law he has committed no crime and thus should not be treat and mistreated like a criminal.

The Reason He's not Guilty of a crime.....THE VERDICT...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAF94uWX0WA

Support Sharon Webb For School Board District 6

On December 12, there is another election taking place in the City of Memphis. Less its forgotten there is a run-off election for school board district 6,which is presently held by Carl Johnson. Johnson has been on the board for nearly 40 years,and even though he's a nice guy,its time for a change. I'm a firm believer in term limits for all elected officials,And I think that Carl Johnson has served his term and should allow for a person with new and fresh ideas.

It came to my attention today and I will be writing on it by the end of the week,that in most black schools within the City's system since corporal pushisnment has been taken out of the schools, suspensions are now used. According to board policy there are other steps that's to be taken before a child is taken out of the classroom.In many cases after a suspension,it takes 24 days before a child returns to the classroom. So it makes me wonder why the board members have not addressed this problem.

Its time for fresh ideas,board members who understand that there job is to set policies that allow parents to rest easy knowing that the best programs are in place to educate our children. So I support Sharon Webb as the person to represent parents and children from district 6.

Early voting starts Nov22,-Dec 7, Only at the Shelby county Election Commission,And Dec 2,-Dec 7, At the Pyramid recovery center and Westwood High school

I have hosted city wide prayer services for our children, elected officials, educators, parents, and city.

- I believe we need corporal punishment up to grade 8.
- I would like to see a mandatory orientation for all parents to attend to help them understand the need for them to partner with us to educated our children. While, at the same time make them aware of Messick Adult Center which is geared to cater to the needs of the parents.
- I know that we have a serious gang problem in the schools. I would like to see military type boarding schools for our children who are unwilling and unable to perform under the rules and regulations set in the school today. The reason I say this is because I work with the Police Chief, Sheriff and Attorney General in Operation safe community. I found out about the gang hotline that Pastor Dwight Montgomery has and that there are over 300 calls a day form young people wanting out of gangs. They are afraid of getting killed because of their desire. I know that if we take them out of the regular school system and place them in the boarding schools we will place them into a safe environment with O tolerance at the same time have those professionals along side to minister to the needs of these children and educated them as well.
- I want to see all the schools become Hi-Tech Now! I would call on the churches and the community and business community to help. These are our children our future. I know that it takes all of us to help.
- I understand why the children a illiterate and I would like to institute some intensive phonetic remedial classes to teach them the fundamentals of reading and how to comprehend, the basics of math. We need Hi-Tech games to help teach them. WE are trying to educate these children today like we did in the day and it is not working. There minds are moving so fast until most are not happy with school.
- I want to be visible in the schools in district #6, not to take the job of the principal but to help make the difference for our children.
- I want to see the students exposed to more than their enviornment. I want mentors walking the halls, apprenticeships, job shadowing on a larger scale, and utilization of the Tech programs already in place.

Pastor Harold Finds Out Who The Devil Is

Could Harold Ford Jr.who did a campaign commercial from a church,passed out business cards with the Ten Commandants on back,and spoke of his faith in God be preparing for a job in the pulpit? Could JR1 become the next mega church pastor? Let's look at a Sunday morning service with Pastor Harold.

It's 11:00 am Sunday morning the lot is full of cars at "Full Of It" Baptist Church. Men,Women,and Children are running to make sure they have a seat,Because the outside marquee reads," Be present Sunday morning for the first time the devil will reveal who he really is" The church is filled,there's standing room only,because the people finally will get the chance to meet the demon of all demons,The Father of lies, the deceiver of deceivers, The devil himself.

But before the devil makes his entrance,the choir has to sing,Pastor Harold has to preach and of course there has to be an offering. The choir is led by brother Jake a former sinner of sinners who confessed to having a drug problem,living off others.and having an abusive temper. But brother Jake says that he's a change man since he saw the light.(Which was Brother Isaac with a flash light looking for his High School diploma,which he never found)

As the choir sings "Jesus Turned water into Wine" Mother Ophelia jumps from her seat,and shouts "Thank You Jesus,I got a car trunk full of gallon jugs of water, can you help a sister out"?

By this time,its time for the offering,Brother John is in charge of finance. He tells the church the Lord wants you to give your 20% tithe offering, After the offering Brother John instead of placing the offering money in a tray he stuffs the money in all his pockets and starts the dancing. A visitor asks "Is brother John doing the Holy dance?" A member replys"No that's the Tennessee Waltz"

All of a sudden there's a drum roll,trumpets glare, Pastor Harold has made his arrival and is led to the pulpit by his bodyguard Marc Smith. Pastor Harold takes off his cape,sends the women who are falling at his feet back to there seats,as one woman leaves she likes at Pastor Harold and whispers "CALL ME"

Pastor Harold start his fire and brimstone message, "The devil is here today, That liar and deceiver who has not only deceived you but deceived me,is in our midst.I must confess I have made great mistakes,because of him, I've been led down the wrong paths by this demon,who talks a good talk,But yet will use his charms to destroy the very elect" The church is standing on its feet calling for Pastor Harold to reveal him,They shout " We'll tired of the devil,let us know who he is,so that when we see him coming we can go the other way"

Pastor Harold calls for the devil to enter,the room gets hot,the congregation starts to sweat, The devil strolls down the center aisle, But his face is covered. Pastor Harold shouts to the devil "Reveal yourself you have misused the people long enough, Your evil ways must be stopped, to many have suffered because of your tricks"

The devil looks around and laughs at Pastor Harold, saying "Pastor Harold you are the biggest fool of all, I used you and those who followed you, I tricked you and made you believe that you could be a winner,I made you make a fool out of your self" The devil's laughter shakes the building as he looks at the crowd and back at Pastor Harold and says" So you really want to know who the devil is"? He pulls off his mask,the crowd starts to run,after beholding the devil's face, Pastor Harold trembles in disbelief when he realizes that the devil is .....HAROLD FORD SR.

Ophelia Is Now The General In The Ford Army

As many of us set around a reception on Beale Street tonight given by Congressman elect Steve Cohen to thank the many workers in his campaign, Which is just the first of receptions there will be a public reception in a December,Naturally the subject of politics was the focus of conversation. One conversation that came up was the fact that Ophelia Ford is now the highest ranking member of the political Ford Family.

It's a fact that even though she did not campaign,and according to sources spent a great deal of the summer in rehab,She outranks her brothers. The Ford men have always felt that politics were just for the men folk, but Ophelia struck out on her own and now even Harold Jr. Is outranked. So I guess in the future if a male Ford wants to know how to win and election,they'll have to seek the advice of "O"

Will The Fords Try To Use Nikki Tinker To Give Power To A Dead Machine?

Nikki Tinker who lost in her bid to become the democratic nominee for the 9th Congressional District,is out trying to gather support for a run in 2008. She has approached several persons in the Cohen camp to join her because she plans to go after Congressman-elect Steve Cohen.

Tinker who has no record of service in this community,But raised thousands of dollars which much came from outside of Shelby County should not count her eggs before they hatch. Not only will she have to compete with the service record that Cohen will have in 08, But she will also have to deal with the other ego-driven blacks that will undoubtedly jump in the race.

Tinker who served as a former campaign manager for Harold Ford Jr. Will have to realize that since the chains of the Fords have been broken,her being black won't just be good enough. She may be the choice of the Ford family,and their tool to regain control of the 9th Congressional district, But I serve her notice that if it's a fight she wants it's a fight she'll get. The Fords will never regain control of the district again. If she plans to be the motor that restarts the machine,she needs to know that there are mechanics ready,willing, and able to break her down.


Tinker registered to vote in Shelby County in 2002 and has voted 5 times since she registered:

Is It Time To Reinstate The Draft?

Here is a story released by the Associated Press,concerning returning to the draft.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans would have to sign up for a new military draft after turning 18 under a bill the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee says he will introduce next year.

Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., said Sunday he sees his idea as a way to deter politicians from launching wars. "There's no question in my mind that this president and this administration would never have invaded Iraq, especially on the flimsy evidence that was presented to the Congress, if indeed we had a draft and members of Congress and the administration thought that their kids from their communities would be placed in harm's way," Rangel said.

Rangel, a veteran of the Korean War who has unsuccessfully sponsored legislation on conscription in the past, said he will propose a measure early next year. While he said he is serious about the proposal, there is little evident support among lawmakers for it. In 2003, Rangel proposed a measure covering people age 18 to 26.

This year, he offered a plan to mandate military service for men and women between age 18 and 42; it went nowhere in the Republican-led Congress. Democrats will control the House and Senate come January because of their victories in the Nov. 7 election.

At a time when some lawmakers are urging the military to send more troops to Iraq, "I don't see how anyone can support the war and not support the draft," said Rangel, who also proposed a draft in January 2003, before the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

"I think to do so is hypocritical." Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who is a colonel in the U.S. Air Force Standby Reserve, said he agreed that the U.S. does not have enough people in the military.

"I think we can do this with an all-voluntary service, all-voluntary Army, Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy. And if we can't, then we'll look for some other option," said Graham, who is assigned as a reserve judge to the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals. Rangel, the next chairman of the House tax-writing committee, said he worried the military was being strained by its overseas commitments.

"If we're going to challenge Iran and challenge North Korea and then, as some people have asked, to send more troops to Iraq, we can't do that without a draft," Rangel said. He said having a draft would not necessarily mean everyone called to duty would have to serve.

Instead, "young people (would) commit themselves to a couple of years in service to this great republic, whether it's our seaports, our airports, in schools, in hospitals," with a promise of educational benefits at the end of service. Graham said he believes the all-voluntary military "represents the country pretty well in terms of ethnic makeup, economic background."

Repeated polls have shown that about seven in 10 Americans oppose reinstatement of the draft and officials say they do not expect to restart conscription. Outgoing Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld told Congress in June 2005 that "there isn't a chance in the world that the draft will be brought back." Yet the prospect of the long global fight against terrorism and the continuing U.S. commitment to stabilizing Iraq have kept the idea in the public's mind.

The military drafted conscripts during the Civil War, both world wars and between 1948 and 1973. An agency independent of the Defense Department, the Selective Service System, keeps an updated registry of men age 18-25 - now about 16 million - from which to supply untrained draftees that would supplement the professional all-volunteer armed forces.

What do you think about the draft? Do you think if the lawmakers family members were going off to be killed that they would think twice about sending others to war? And how would you want your congressman and senator to vote?

Is Profit More Important Than What's Right?

While American citizens have problems getting new homes financed,illegal aliens have no problem at all.It seems that The Bank of Bartlett and the Carranza sisters of Su Casa Realty think that there's a profit in allowing illegals to have more benefits than American citizens.

While this practice is not illegal,It is aiding and abetting a group of people who are breaking the laws of this country. Recently I wrote about a apartment complex in Whitehaven called the Spanish Oaks II. I was called by the then resident manager who happen to be black. She told me that the property was ran locally by RENWAR PROPERTIES, but was owned by a group out of New York.

The manager stated that the New York group wanted all the blacks out and only wanted to rent to Latinos and Mexicans. She stated that the company had printed thousands of fliers to be passed out in the community,But the fliers which I saw were all in Spanish. She was also concerned that with all the children in the complex that the New York group had ordered that barbwire be placed not above the already placed iron fence,but all over the fence where children playing could get badly hurt.

I spoke with RENWAR and was told that the barbwire was out of there hands,that they had spoken with the workers who placed the wire asking them not to cover the fence but were told that they take there orders from New York. Thus what we have is a plan to discriminate and to endanger.

As A Repoman I daily travel through many apartment complexes,looking for cars that have been purchased by Mexicans who refuse to pay car notes. In fact I repossess for the largest Mexican owned lot in Memphis. I find that 10 years ago this group was only in several apartment complexes,But now they are the majority in most of the complexes. I have often wondered how Mexicans are allowed to rent without ID. Apartment complexes do not make it mandatory for credit reports from Mexicans and Latinos while making American citizens give their life's history. Is this fair and why does our poli-trick-ans allow this?

I notice on Saturdays as I drive through these complexes that there are vending stands where hot food is being sold out of trucks,vans, and cars. These vendors are not inspected by the Shelby County Health Department,neither do they have a health card,But yet they are allowed to sell food. Local Businesses who operate eateries have to have a pay for a business license,be inspected before they open,submit to random inspections by the health department, And when they failed seen on TV being told to "CLEAN UP"

Why hasn't the Shelby County Commissioners taken on the task of making sure that the legal citizens of this county be protected from this act of discrimination? Why hasn't our U.S. Senators and Congressmen,spoke out against the fact that illegals have for rights than American Citizens.

Maybe citizens who have their money in the Bank Of Bartlett need to remove their money and place it in a bank that support Americans.

Chumney/Morris,Who Can Beat Herenton?

City Councilwoman Carol Chumney has announced that she is candidate for mayor, Herman Morris is gearing up for a shot at the Willie Herenton's job. Who do you think has the better chance and why? Who do you think would be a better mayor? Can either of the two beat Willie?

Citizens Should Have a Voice In Who There Senator Will Be

With Congressman-elect Steve Cohen announcing earlier this week that he will give up his State senate seat in December,the wrangling for the seat has already begun. Some of the names thus far who want to replace Cohen, are Kelvin Gallagher,David Upton,and Robert Spence.

Gallagher was very instrumental in the election of Steve Cohen, but Gallagher has already been told by the new congressman that he will not get involved in any way in the selection process, he wishes him well but he's on his own. David Upton who has been a part of the Shelby County Democratic Party and various other campaigns is a nice enough guy,But in my opinion is to close to the Ford family to be considered. Ophelia Ford is enough without having another Ford operative as senator.

Sources are also saying that former City Attorney Robert Spence is lobbying for the seat. Spence who ran for School board several years ago has close ties to the Herenton camp. Spence in his campaign for school board ran to set policies for parents in the city while his children were in private school. In other words he wanted to sit on a board to set the rules for a school system that was not good enough for his children.

My recommendation to the commission is to have a meeting with citizens of the senate district and find out from them who they would like to see represent them. We don't want another incident where a person is selected because of their political ties,as in the case of Reginald Tate who is a Sidney Chism crony, who Sidney acknowledged was his choice for the seat.

Tate who has no background in public service other than being a part of the Chism Faction of the Democratic executive committee,knew that he had enough votes from the party the night the selection process took place, Because Chism's group knew that they would not support any other person no matter how qualified that person happen to be.

For the process to be fair and the best person chosen, The Commission should take the decision to the people,and not make a decision on their own. But then we're talking about poli-trick-ans caring about the people's agenda and not their own.

Soul Heaven Has A New Lead Singer

In the midst of all the local and national politics,I want to take time to remember one of the greatest vocalist that ever lived,Gerald Edward Levert. Who was snatched from the garden of life just a little over a week ago. But than God does have the right to pick flowers from his own garden doesn't he?

Congressman-Elect Steve Cohen Will Not Seek Membership In The Congressional Black Caucus

The new congressman-elect from the 9th Congressional District,arrived back in Memphis yesterday after spending a week in Washington. Myself and Randy Wade spoke with Cohen as he made his drive home from the airport. Cohen is very excited about representing the citizens of the district,and plans to have a staff in place that will be service oriented.

The congressman-elect stated that he will not be seeking membership in The Congressional Black Caucus,as he had stated he planned to. Cohen over the week met with several members of the Caucus and they assured him that as a representative of a large black district,As long as he votes positively on issues concerning blacks that they will have his back. Among those members of the Caucus that he met with were,Alcee Hastings of Fla,and Charles Rangle of New York. Cohen assured them that he will vote for what is best for the district overall.

Cohen believes that the week in Washington allowed him to make alliances that will benefit the 9th Congressional District. You can tell from the excitement in his voice that he really can hardly wait to be sworn in and get to work. But Cohen is not waiting until January 4th to start his task of serving and letting the citizens know that he's concern. This morning he will be attending worship services at Mt. Vernon Baptist Church,as the church celebrates 50 years of James Netters serving as pastor.

Cohen became so excited while in Washington he decided to give up his state senate seat in December,instead of waiting until January. Cohen will have no involvement in the selection of the next senator,he will leave that decision solely to the Shelby County board of Commissioners, not making any phone calls or giving any references. He will not give the appearance of starting a political machine.

It is my belief that Steve Cohen will make us all proud as congressman, by taking a stand on ending the war in Iraq,and voting positively on issues that will benefit the district. I know that his office will be about service,both nationally and locally. He plans to have a person in the local office whose job it is to make sure that citizens of the 9th Congresional district calls are returned and there needs met. In two years when he runs for re-election he will win by another landslide because the people will know that they have been served.

Just A "Good Ole Boy"

Just how desparate was Harold Ford Jr. to win a senate seat? He lied on his grandmother telling the world that she was black,and now on election day we see that he visited with "some good ole boys" (Was that a KKK Meeting?) I'm sure that this picture makes all those blacks who wanted only a black senator very proud. Where was Joke Ford,washing out his robe?

Is Herman Morris The One?

Next year's mayoral election will be the race to watch. Will anyone be able to defeat Willie Herenton and bring a new vision of government into play? One of the person's gearing up is former President of MLG&W Herman Morris. Morris has been working for several months putting his ducks in a row, But does he have what it takes to dethrone Willie?

Morris believes that he can garner strong black and white support and raise enough money to put together the kind of campaign that its going to take to defeat the mayor. I'm sure that there will be other blacks coming forth to run,Its rumored that Myron Lowery and Ricky Peete have their eyes on the mayor's office. You can bet with Herenton endorsing Steve Cohen that their will be a Ford operative in the race.

But what black do you think has a chance against Herenton? What do you think of Herman Morris,Do you think that he has the skills to be mayor? Will he really tell why he was fired from MLG&W? Does it even matter if the next mayor of Memphis is Black?

Let's Lay It All Out On The Table,How Do Blacks And Whites Really Feel About Each Other?

Before we can heal the problem of racism in Memphis and America,We first must acknowledge that there is a problem. In reading this blog one gets the feeling that there are racist that are black and white. One who has never been addressed by a racist,or does not believe that in 2006 that they still exist has only to read this blog and understand that racist come in all colors and some very harsh and negative statements can be made.

I don't censor the comments because I think that its time that this problem is addressed and that the true feelings of people in our society are known. We must understand that the only cure for racism is to get our true feelings out on the table no matter how harsh they are and deal with it so that a prescription can be filled.

What do whites think of blacks as a race of people? What do blacks think of whites as race? Do whites think that all blacks are lazy and looking for a hand out? Do Blacks think that all of its problems come from whites? As A black person do you think that the dumbest black leader is better than the smartest white leader?

Are you as a white person fearful of blacks? If so why? If you're black and you hate whites,why do you work on their jobs,drive cars made by whites, place your money in white banks and live in homes built and owned by whites? As a white parent do you mind your child going to school with blacks? As a black are you still holding on to slavery,and you'll mad at the white race for something that happens years ago?

As a White do you call blacks nigger? If so why? As A black do you call fellow blacks nigger,if so why? And as a black who call other blacks nigger,why do you get upset when whites use the word? These are just some questions that I'm throwing out,But I want your uncut answers. And maybe from this discussion we can find out what its going to take to destroy this silent killer of our society.

DON'T BE BASHFUL LET IT ALL HANG OUT.....BUT WHEN YOU FINISH BEING HONEST ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS,WHAT CAN WE DO TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF RACISM

Blacks Voting Black,Why?

<
http://www.blackagendareport.com/004/004a_gf_time2stop_supporting_every_blackface.html

After reading the article the question is Why should blacks just vote for a black face?

What Can We Do Save Ourselves?

As of this posting there have been a 141 murders in the city of Memphis. No one is safe. So what can we do to protect ourselves? What fear can be placed in the hearts of the criminals? It does not matter where you live crime is everywhere,and everyone in the city has a fear of being the next victim.

Should we demand that the judicial system lock away repeat offenders instead of giving them early release. Instead of building a new jail how about putting the prisoners to work,and making them grow what they eat. How about around the clock work that way new jails wouldn't have to be built,let some work while others sleep.

Or should we place the fear of death in the hearts of these lowlifes who prey on hard working people? How about every home being armed and ready to kill an intruder the moment he enters someone's home. How about persons learning how to properly use a weapon and when getting out of your car being prepared to shoot to kill that person who would rob or do worse.

I don't know what the answer is,but something has to be done. But I serve notice on any home intruder if the alarm doesn't scare you, and my Rottweiler that lives in the house does not get the chance to bite you, My 12 gauge shotgun will blow your head off,And I keep some plastic by the door so you won't bleed on my carpet.

Any one running for city mayor or city council that does not have a plan to curtail crime should not receive any votes from this community. I will be the first to agree that crime is not just the poli-trick-ans problem, But they have the power to create laws to deal with crime in a effective manner.

There is presently a curfew law that is not addressed by the police department,Enforcing this law would cut a certain amout of juvenile crime. The mayor should demand that the police department ride high crime areas ridding persons from just standing on corners,and forcing those underage to leave the streets or go to jail. The police helicopter should fly over these same areas shining its spotlight on the streets of the city.

Maybe the old still watch concept should come back into play where armed persons are out of sight in businesses, But ready to protect that business from robbery even if the robbers has to be shot down. We must take back our streets so that hard working people and those who are trying to live out their golden years in peace can feel safe.

HATS OFF TO THE MEXICAN THAT CUT OFF THE FINGER OF HIS WOULD BE ROBBER,WISH YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HIS NECK

Is There Hope?

Congressman elect Steve Cohen who has a lifetime membership in the NAACP wants to be the first member of the Congressional Black Caucus,The NAACP exist due to white funding,So what's the big deal? What is the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus doing to change the welfare of life for blacks in America?

Right here in Memphis what is the local chapter doing? When was the last time you heard them speak out about black on black crime? When was the last time this group held a townhall meeting to discuss how to bring money into our communities? When was the last meeting held to discuss gang violence and teenage pregnancy?

So in Memphis what purpose those this organization serve? In the early 70's instead of demanding that black schools receive updated books,and the same courses as white schools,this organization wanted to sit side by side with white students. Busing did not work but it destroyed the black neighborhood and school pride.

Parents had a better handle on their children when the schools were in the neighborhood. Schools bragged on themselves with the neighborhood school. Manassas High boasted of the "Marching 120" which Iwas a member of, under the leadership of Emerson Russell Able. Everybody knew the school song and song it with pride. There were football games that students and alumni both looked forward to, why because it gave a neighborhoods pride and something to brag about. Busing has been a failure and has hurt the status of the black community.

But alone comes Maxine Smith and her group and kills black neighborhoods to fulfill their political agendas,Not to help the students. How could we trust Maxine, when a book entitled,"The FBI and Martin Luther King" clearly states that she and her husband Vasco Smith and Jessie turner were paid informants for the FBI when King was killed here in Memphis,Were these three so called black leaders a part of the murder plot of King?

Whites control the NAACP.so why shouldn't whites be members? The Congressional Black Caucus serves no real purpose.JR1 as a member voted in support of a war that blacks didn't support,he voted for a bankruptcy law that hurts both blacks and whites trying to restart their financial history. What has the Congressional Black Caucus done for Blacks?

It's time to take off the group labels and work for the common cause of peple in general. Those groups with labels such as the democratic and republican partys should lead the charge for a United States of Amemrica,instead of being the leaders of the most divided groups of all. Who knows maybe if our government starts the drive to treat all its citizens the same,and The black Caucus becomes the people's caucus, Maybe then groups like the KKK will have a open membership drive

Its Time To Destroy The Racial Divide In This Country

The NAACP could not presently exist without the funding of white America. In fact this organization has always had white involvement,including whites who marched with black civil rights leaders to put an end to racism and segregation. If this is the case why would the Congressional Black Caucus not allow a white who represents a large portion of blacks to be a part of its organization?

Isn't the only purpose for this organization to make sure that blacks in America,receive the same treatment and services of any other citizen? Isn't the purpose of the caucus to meet and sat an agenda in congress that will serve the needs of blacks? If this is the sole purpose and not to just create another black group whose only purpose is to promote racism through division of the races,why not allow a white congressman whose district is very black to be a part of the conversation of how to make sure that black citizens are not mistreated in this country?

As a citizen who lives in the district that happens to be black I want my representative to be a part of every group and organization that deals with what is progressive in America for blacks. When this group has discussions on creating revenue in the black community I want my representative to be a part of that discussions. When Congressmen who represent blacks in America discuss how to remove blacks from the greatest detriment roll in this country, the welfare and social services roll and find away to make blacks self sufficient,I want my representative present.

There are those in this country that will always hold on to racism,whites who want hold on to the old south,and blacks who want to believe that in 2006 they have to be a product of the old south. Yes racism still exist in this country,and we have a government of leaders to use it as a soapbox to be elected. Poli-trick-ans who get votes not based on service but emotions. To many black leaders use the "I'll tell Whitey Off" method to get elected. They present an attitude of toughness to the TV cameras, and then are the ones who become puppets to white powerbrokers in the backrooms.

We must realize that even though our cultures are different,we all want the same things. We want to be able to work and support our families without giving the government all our money in taxes. We want the country to serve us all,and care more for its citizens than citizens in other nations. We want to know that the country will spend the same billions that presently being spent on a senseless war on the needs of citizens on the shores and soil of The United states Of America.

But to make sure that the government remembers what its true purpose is,we must have representatives who will fight for all the people, and fear not. This country can no longer be a separate nation if we are to survive. A group like the Congressional Black Caucus cannot promote a racial divide,but open its doors to any who share the same desires,wants, and wishes as they do. For the Congressional Black Caucus to open its doors to a white congressman,will say that no longer will we judge a man based on the color of his skin but by the content of his character. They would be able to sing from the song "We Shall Overcome" the part that says"Black and White Together" and when they walk by the monument of Martin Luther King,and someone ask them why they did it, they'll be able to reply because no matter the differences, no matter the adversity, when we opened our hearts we found that we were FREE AT LAST

Free from the chains of racial divide, free from those who desire to keep us bound both black and white,Free to make our government work for us. Free to elect those who will serve us,and vote out those who wish to deceive us. The NAACP is about the advancement of black people with its white members,Why can't the Congressional Black Caucus be about the same thing?

JR1 Could Be Destroyed Politically If He Ran For Mayor

There are those who would like to see Harold Ford Jr take on Willie Herenton in next year's bid for mayor,but it will not happen. Other than the fact that JR1 will more than likely receive a six figure contract with some media company,he can not take the risk of losing to Willie Herenton.

As much as I think that Willie needs to go defeating him will be no easy task. Carol Chumney who has announced that she will be running has a tall mountain to climb,in gaining enough support to defeat Herenton. John Willingham who is considering running has no chance of winning. The republican party of which he is a member does not support him,and he would pick up very few black votes. Herman Morris is also gearing up to run,but will MLG&W come back to haunt him.

Many would support JR1,but his record of service in Memphis would come into play. Ford who stated that as congressman "he does not get involved in local politics" would have to prove that he truly cares about the city and not just using the mayor's office to launch him back into a national light.

Ford knows that after losing a statewide race,that losing a local race in his own backyard would destroy him politically. And even though he's a Ford and a past congressman he is not guaranteed a victory. JR1 would do better to show up on national TV giving his views on national issues than to get in a fight that could ruin him for life.

Steve Cohen Should Be Allowed In The Congressional Black Caucus

Congressman elect Steve Cohen wants to become the first white member of the Congressional Black Caucus, I say why not. If this group of congressman are there to watch over the interest of black Americans, why would they not allow a white congressman to be a part of a group who represents thousands of blacks.

Some will say that this is a black group and should not have any members other than blacks. But Cohen who holds a lifetime membership in the NAACP should be allowed for the same reason that over 90% of the funds of the NAACP comes from white corporate America.

The NAACP could not exist if not for the funding that it receives from whites. Surely this group who fought against racism, and blacks not being allowed to be a part of white America will practice what it preaches.

Steve Cohen Is Not Alone In His Fight To Better The 9th Congressional District

Today my dear friend Randy Wade became a radio talk show host, sitting in for Jennings Bernard oh his show. There were several black callers who called in stating how they were disappointed in Wade as a black man supporting Congressman Steve Cohen. Wade stated that it was his right to support whomever he chose for congress. But many of Jennings regular callers who follow the madness of Jennings in thinking that only a black should have the seat stated that Wade was wrong for supporting Cohen.

One of the callers was Norman Redwing whose brother Ron ran for the seat. Norman stated that he had never seen seen Cohen in the black community. But I question Norman's memory. Steve Cohen state senate seat seat comprises two of the largest black areas in Shelby County, Orange Mound and Binghampton. Ask the citizens about the assistance he has rendered,ask the citizens of Binghampton about the community clinic that he helped to bring to that community that serves the black children of the area.

Norman who is a community activist who has asked for the support of many white groups and organizations to support black children in North Memphis should be the last to cry out about a black seat, when he has been unable to get black support to help in his causes.

Randy Wade has been a personal friend and confidant to me for many years, he has reined me in many times to keep me from jumping the gun on many issues. This is a man who I totally trust,and believe that he would not steer anyone wrong no matter what the color of their skin happens to be.

When Randy Wade ran for Sheriff, The Fords did not support him. They did not endorse the black candidate. They did not support the democratic nominee. In fact Harold Sr, contributed $1,000 to the campaign of Mark Luttrell. That was the choice of the Fords,and there right. But why is it that some in the black community think that Wade just because he's black should have supported Joke Ford, when the Ford's did not support Randy wade a black man running for sheriff against a white Mark Luttrell.

Steve Cohen is the new congressman for the 9th congressional district. I totally support the new congressman and will hold him accountable. I believe that Cohen will work to make this district better for all it's citizens. I believe that you will soon see plans that he has to include all citizens in decisions that will mold and shape this community.

This site will keep you abreast of what Steve Cohen is doing in this community. I will tell you about his service and how citizens are getting their needs met. There will be an attempt by some to try and paint a negative picture of Cohen,even setting up calls to his office to see if he will respond. But I can assure you that I will have an ear in the congressman office and that I will do what I can to make sure that he is intuned to the needs and concerns of the citizens.

We can no longer allow those with racist agendas to separate us. We can no longer allow the rhetoric of so called leaders to deter us from making this congressional district a district is is about the people and for the people. Randy Wade and myself alone with the thousands of blacks who decided that color is not important, but content will hold Cohen's feet to the fire and stand with him to end the reign of terror called racism that many, black and white would have us believe has to be.

Would JR1 Being A Daddy Hurt Him Politically?

There has been a lot of traffic on the post about the alledge affair that JR1 may have had with a woman by the name of Zelda Brown which supposely produced a child. I received a e-mail from a woman who stated that she was a friend of Zelda brown whose from California,and moved to the Tennessee to be a part of the Ford for U.S. Senate campaign.

The e-mailer stated that Zelda Brown was at one time a part of ERA a real estate company. In tracing the picture that was sent I did find that there is a Zelda Brown that has worked for a local ERA company in California, and that the picture sent to me was that person.

I also found that a Zelda Brown did work in the Ford campaign and that this same person made numerous blogs to many blog sites. Some thought that the posted picture was that of Jennifer Baltimore a woman that JR1 was suppose to marry after his daddy set up the proposal to take place at the Lincoln monument.

Whether or not JR1 is a daddy or not,as of yet I don't know,But if he is I'm glad to know that he still has an interest in black women. I have received several e-mails from Zelda Brown who denies being involved with the soon to be former congressman. But what else would I expect her to say. I am fully aware that the Ford Clan monitors this site,so I was not surprise to hear from Zelda as soon as the post was published.

If Jr1 is a daddy why would he hide ? Would he be worried about what citizens across the country would think of him? Would a baby out of wedlock hurt him politically? Would this destroy his quest for the White House? I am in the process of checking out who Zelda Brown is and if there is an relationship past or present with her and JR1,stay tuned for the results.

The County Should Pay It's Debts Before Spending More Money

Sheriff Mark Luttrell wants to spend over $200 million to build a new jail, County Commissioners want to add anew court to Juvenile Court, without telling us how much a new court with judges and staff is going to cost. My question is where is the money going to come from?

The citizens of this county are already taxed to the extreme, No one has come up with any new sources of revenue,so how do we pay for what the commission and the Sheriff wants to push down our throats?

What's wrong with the jail that we have? Oh I know we want the robbers,thieves,and murders to be comfortable. Why should those who have made life uncomfortable for so many be allowed to eat and grow fat off the taxpayers that they have robbed,and the families of those that many of them have killed.

For once Willie Herenton and I agree, we need a new source of revenue. I agree with the payroll tax. There are over 50,000 persons who enter Shelby County daily from Mississippi and Arkansas to work on our jobs. They help tear up our streets,but pay no cost. They take jobs that citizens of this county could have. They get a Shelby County check and take it back to those other areas outside of the Metro Memphis area.

While we may need a new jail,or even a second court in the Juvenile Court system,the taxpayers must bare the burden of increases in taxes. This county in over $2 billion dollars in debt,and we continue to elect idiots who think that this debt will go away and adding more debt. We need to send a message to the County Commission not to spend another dime until they tell us how they plan to get us out of debt.

Let the criminals crowd themselves out,maybe they won't want to come back,In fact use the Penal farm as a farm and let the robbers, murders, and thieves grow there own food. And if they don't grow nothing they don't eat nothing. And if you grow enough the County can go into the produce business which will produce revenue. The answers are simple to solving some of the debt problems,But then we only elect those who want to be self serving and not public servants.

Its Time To Take Back The Democratic Party

there will be a massive move in march of next year to take over The Shelby County democratic party and return it to the people. County Commissioner Sidney Chism a Willie Herenton Crony controls a large percentage of the Executive committee. This group pushed through Reginald Tate another Herenton crony and made him a state senator.

This group that allows their members to openly endorse republicans is as weak as water. The Chairman Matt Khun does not have the balls to stand up and declare those who openly support and endorse republicans traitors to the party. Sidney Chism alone with Rickey Peete and several black state representatives in the primary produced a bogus ballot declaring it as the democratic ballot. This was to confused black voters who will not read or research for themselves.

Chism told me that some persons on the ballot paid as much as $5-$10,000 to have their names placed on the ballot of deception. In march the party will have its convention to name a chairman and to select executive members.

How do you take over the party? By being a registered voter and taking all the registered voter from your community, selecting who you want to represent you, and voting for that person in the convention. It will work in 2003 several of us had this very same idea and was able to get 5 people on the committee.

There has to be a political takeover by the people of this community, these poli-trick-ans do not care about the people ,but only about the agendas that they deem to be the one that will benefit them. As march approaches I will be posting the names of the Chism/Herenton cronies. We must oust these cronies to be able to make this party strong again.

Today this party is a joke, its ran by political misfits who kisses the ass of Chism who kisses the ass of Herenton. The democratic party wants black voters to believe that they are the ones working for the poor,but giving more public assistance does not help the poor,but allows them to maintain there status as leaches of the system. This party wants blacks to blindly support it without giving anything back.

Even when we look at what the democratic County commissioners are doing as far as Juvenile court is concerned,we see political games being played. While I may agree that a second court is needed,I also believe that before a decision is made the cost of such a move should be given to the citizens. How much is a second court going to cost the taxpayer,and where will that money come from. A new judge will cost $115,000 per year but what about staff? Where it may be feasible the commission should not make a decision without public hearings. But this is just a move by the democratic members lead by Chism to flex its muscles.

But what does Chism have to say about his bogus ballot? What does he have to say about democrats cutting commercials for republicans? What does he have to say about democracts putting their names on republican material? Nothing because all he and his cronies care about is their own agenda and not the people. Why didn't this party chastise the Fords for not supporting the democratic nominee for congress? The party is ballless, and ran by a leadership that kisses the ass of the status quo.

So start to organizing your community,and prepare to take back the party from a bunch of self serving,greedy,noncaring cowards who want to use you as pawns in a game where we are never to be the winners.

Where Oh Where Is Joke Ford?

Joke Ford has been missing since his landslide lost to Congressman Steve Cohen. What happen to his concession speech? Was he to shame or immature to acknowledge his lost? Is this the last that we will hear from the Joker? Rumor has it that after his lost on Tuesday night that many of his poll workers went unpaid,Is there any truth to this rumor?

Is JR1 A Daddy?

Several days ago I received an e-mail from a woman who claims that Harold Ford Jr. Is a new father. She also sent me a picture of the young lady that she claims is the mother. The Woman's name is Zelda Brown,I have found some connections with her and the Ford senate campaign,which I will post later.

Here's the e-mail,the sender's info has been deleted:

Hi Thaddeus,

I thought you might like to know the scoop on Harold Ford, Jr. He fathered an out-of-wedlock child by the woman in the picture below. She lives in California. I don't think that they are married. You might want to investigate this further. But it is definitely true! Although Jr. is going to deny it at every angle, don't believe it. It's very true. The child is a girl and they are both trying to keep it a secret. I know because I am an ex-email friend of the woman in question. Her name is Zelda Brown. Here is a picture of her. She used to work out in California in Real Estate for a company called ERA. I know you will be able to get more details about this. Please look in to it and find out what you can and post something about it. Your readers deserve to know that he is fathering kids out of wed-lock just like uncle John has done. I can't tell you how I know this, but it's true.

After reading some of the comments,I decided to post a comment that Zelda Brown left on Chris Jackson's blog entitled The Ford Report:

Zelda Brown said...
Congressman Ford,

first of all, you deserve a round of applause for the type of campaign you ran. Please don't over think this election! Blessings sometimes come in the strangest of ways! Perhaps the Lord is allowing time for you to focus on some other important areas of your life.

Finally, don't hang up your politician suit just yet. i know it's early, but Tn. is primed for another senatorial race in '08. I'm not trying to put any thoughts in your head, but it certainly stands to reason that you are a viable candidate for the democratic choice! Harold, politics oftentimes is being at the right place at the right time! Life is often about being at the right place at the right time! You get some much needed R&R, and I know I/we will hear from you SOON! God bless you!

ZELDA WHO IS THE WE?

Roscoe Dixon Prepares To Spend Last Thanksgiving At Home For A While

Former state senator Roscoe Dixon Who was convicted last month to five years and three months for his role in The Tennessee Waltz,will spend Thanksgiving at home But Santa Clause will have to visit him in prison.

Dixon has been ordered to report to federal prison on November 28. The U.S.Bureau of Prisons ordered the 57 year old Dixon to report to a low security Federal Correctional Institution in Oakdale Louisiana. He must report in by 2p.m. on that date.Dixon has been allowed to remain free and report on his own.

Dixon who could have been sent to prison as close as Millington, is being sent several hundred miles away. Is this a sign to John Ford and Katheryn Bowers that unless they submit a guilty plea that could go farther and longer?

Who Need's To Go next Year?

Next year is election year for the City of Memphis. It's known that Willie Herenton will be a target for removal, but what about city Council members, which council members should be targeted and why? Thomas Long the City Court Clerk is up for re-election,but it's well known that Janis Fullilove will run again for the position.

So let's prepare to take control of city government, If the mayor needs to go, shouldn't his rubberstamp council go as well? What would you like to see as the issues for next years various races? Is it important to you whether the next mayor is black or white? What if a Ford other than Harold Jr gets in the race who would you support Herenton or a ford?

Has Harold Senior Sold His Birthright?

For several years now it has been rumored that Harold Ford Sr sold his birthright for profit. N.J.Ford And Sons Funeral Home started in the 30's by Newton Jackson Ford has according to sources close to the Fords been sold to The Lowen Group. The Lowen Group headquartered in Burnaby,British Columbia,Canada owns and operates funeral homes and cemeteries in the United States.

Harold claims to own 51% interest in his family's business according to a will he says was left by his father. But several years ago I was shown a will by a Ford family member that showed that Senior was left nothing. The last will and testament of N.J.Ford has yet to be probated,even though Ford died in 1986.

I had also heard that Morgan Keegan is the company that sends out the checks to salaried employees of the funeral home,and is the company that represents the Canadian company. So on last Friday while visiting a wake service at the funeral home I eased into an office where all the documents that must be hung were, And low and behold all the documents of ownership had Morgan Keegan as the owners.

So has Harold sold his father's business to the "White Devils"? Did the other brothers and sisters receive a share of the money? Edmund Ford had to open his own funeral home to be able to live, Harold cut him off from any involvement of the family business, in fact years ago to be able to feed his family Ed had to deliver pizza's to survive.

Why would Harold sell his business to a white company? What role does Morgan Keegan really play? Some employees are worried that since Harold Sr. Left Memphis this morning taken to the airport by Marc Smith, that they will not get paid this week. But than there're used to not getting paid or getting a bad check.

Attorney Richard (I Like My Booty Played With) Fields Who Had Sex With A Minor Now Wants To Represent Juvenile Court

Attorney Richard Fields the white attorney who earlier this year attacked black judicial candidates is at it again. Fields who according to police reports was paying a minor for sex,and according to the 16 year old loved to have his booty played with by having a dildo stuck in his ass, now wants to involved himself in Juvenile Court matters.

County Commissioners voted on Tuesday to ad an additional Judge to the court. Presently unelected referees hear all matters of the court. The elected Judge does not sit on the bench. It seems that republican party does not want a second court. The commissioners feel that a second court will greater service children.

Richard fields has made calls to Commissioners trying to get them to reconsider there vote. But why is Richie involved? He has a son who also according to police reports molested his 2 year old daughter,It would seem that he would be the last choice to represent Juvenile Court.

This court is setup to protect children,not to allow a sexual predator to represent them. The police report clearly shows that Fields had sex numerous times with a minor, paying her to perform perverted acts with her. In the report and a tape interview with the child who is now an adukt she states that she had sex with him several times a week and that his biggest turnon was to have a dildo greased and stuck deep in his ass.

So maybe Judge Curtis Person should reconsider who he has making calls for him. Richie Field is a child molester according to police reports,and should not be representing the court.

HERE'S THE POLICE REPORT

Press Release

Memphis, TN

For Immediate Release



http://votinginmemphis.blogspot.com/

After seeing the success of the ballot initiative in Nashville, I have decided to push for a similar initiative here in Memphis and Shelby County. County Commissioners are already starting down the road of wasting our tax dollars and raising our taxes and it must be stopped. I have posted a blog on this and also created a form for citizens to signup to help get this before the voters of Shelby County. Shelby County politicians need to learn to govern and spend our money responsibly. Passage of this charter amendment would force some of that upon them. Please click the above link for more information.

Who Really Controls America?

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=935607276&n=2

There are some in this city who are upset because a group of ordinary people decided to organize and oust a family of self serving poli-trick-ans who have fed off the blood of the community. Some are upset because blacks and whites were able to come together and break down a wall of racism and elect a white male to a position held hostage by a family for 32 years.

This community,and communities all across this nation have been tricked by self serving poli-trick-ans dressed in sheep clothing but yet are wolves.And the only way to destroy the trickster is to take back control of the local community. Many blacks in this community stood with Steve Cohen to become the first white congressman in 32 years,not because we don't care for our race, but because we want what's best for our race. And what's best for our race does not always come packaged in black skin.

One gentleman called me today and stated that he was upset to see Randy Wade on stage with Steve Cohen,stating that Wade should have been with Harold Jr. But what this guy did not know was that when Wade ran for Shelby County Sheriff,the Fords didn't stand with him,in fact they supported Mark Luttrell over Wade and contributed $1,000 to the campaign. Minerva Johnican who was also on stage was cut from the political scene when Harold Sr. Ran Julian Bolton against her to gain the County Commission seat that she held. So understand that this family has tried to rule politics in this community,and some of us got together to take back control and give it to the people.

To long have we allowed those who care less about us control us,but we no longer have to allow any one black or white to control the fate of our society. Yes I proudly blogged against the Ford control daily throughout the campaign,and will continue to blog against any faction that seeks top control,whether that faction is black or white,democrat or republican.

Racism truly exist,but its also a tool used by poli-trick-ans to divide this community. No matter what our differences we must come together and become "TEAM MEMPHIS" to destroy the racial yolks that have been placed around our necks. We must charge Steve Cohen to do what he has promised this community that he will do. We must hold him and every one who ask for our vote accountable.

Cohen will be our servant in Washington, he must plead the cause of the citizens of this district. He must insist that we get our fair share of dollars to improve education and our ways of life. If we are to take back America and demand that the billions that's being spent on this war of foolishness that killing our men and women,be spent to make lives better in this country we must have leaders that will hear our cry, and stand up to the President and say the people of the 9th congressional district want peace and a end to a war that has no merit.

To control America we must not elect based on color,but content. Even when the attacks come we must be able to stand up for what is right for all people. I can stand the attacks I get here,and anywhere else, I can endure the name calling,because I know in the end right always wins, and if right is worth having its worth enduring the trials and pressure of standing for a change.

I will not allow the black leader just because he's black to continue to use the black community because he thinks that he can do wrong and cry racism,neither will I allow the white leader to think that just because I demand accountability from black leadership,that they can go unchecked. The power of control belongs to the people,and we must understand that to take back control we must elect local leaders that we control,and we control them by holding them accountable and kicking them out of office if they do not serve the mandate of the people. I am proud to have supported Steve Cohen,and plan to be in Washington for his swearing in,But I will get all in his ass if he violates the trust of the people.

And to blacks in this community who have allowed themselves to buy into this madness that a seat belongs to anyone. Wake up and look around your community and see what having blacks in power has done to make your life better. Yes we need and want blacks in office ,but we need only those whose willing to be servants and not self serving. Don't be fooled by those who cry "black power" and say what the black community wants to hear. Don't be fooled by those who call you brother because"Every one thats your SKIN FOLK, ain't your KINFOLK"

Now That JR1 Has Lost His Seat In Congress,Will White Women Give Him Up?

Many black men feel that its a sign of success to have a white woman on your arm. Now having a white woman should be a choice based on love and admiration,not as a sign of "I have arrived". Many of the white women who allow themselves to be tokens only want black men with money and power.

Now that Harold Ford Jr,is no longer the congressman from the 9th Congressional District, will Julia Allison still want him? Will White women still bow at his half white feet? Remember his grandmother was white. Or will JR1 now have to return to the sistas? Will he now have to be satisfied with a woman who gets excited just taking a ride to Tunica,instead of skiing in Colorado?

Will white women still want to be seen with him,or will he be looked upon as yesterday's serving? I wonder how JR1 will feel having to find a woman in the hood instead of Captiol Hill. Well Jr. We know that you've tasted the sweet nectar of a white woman,made love on a snowcapped mountain,whispered words of affection in the ears of your European love,as you raced down the slopes, held her close as sat by a fire. But now "Brother" you'll have to find out how to sample the love of a Nubian queen,make love on a back seat or a by the hour motel, whisper sweet nothings as you stroll the streets of Orange Mound. But JR1 it's okay,because once you go black you won't go back.

Willingham Wants To Take On Herenton

Last night I was approached by a close associate of former County Commissioner John Willingham,asking me to get on board the "Willingham For Mayor" train. That's right you heard it here first,John Willingham is planning to run again against Willie Herenton.

I told the person who approached me that it was to early to join forces with anyone,and that I want to see who all will be in the race. While John is a friend and has great ideas,John cannot beat Willie Herenton. John does not have support from his base which is the republican party alone with the fact I don't think that he can raise the funds that it would take to win.

The payroll tax plan that Herenton is promoting was first introduced by Willingham,and has lots of merit,But I don't think that Willingham who ran against Willie in 2003 will be able to garner enough support to put together a viable campaign. Another factor will be Carol Chumney who has already announced that she plans to run. Herman Morris also plans to run and has been putting his campaign together since the spring. There's even the rumor of former city councilman John Vergos jumping in the race, alone with Dr. Rodebush. With several whites in the race and several blacks in the race, Herenton is assured of winning.

One thing is for sure if willingham has made up his mind to run,than there's nothing that will keep him out of the race.

Harold Sr. For Mayor?

A reliable source states that after Mayors Willie Herenton and A.C Wharton endorsed Steve Cohen for congress,Harold Ford Sr stated in reference to next years mayor's race that "I gone come back and take on that motherfucker". It's my opinion that Harold Sr. Has lost his juice in Memphis,and could not come close to beating Willie.

I also think that even the detractors of the mayor would align with him to keep Ford of the mayors seat. Some are wishing that Harold Ford Jr. Would run against Willie, While I think that JR1 would have a better chance of winning then his daddy, I don't believe that local politics is of any concern to the former congressman.

Is It Over For The Fords?,Did The Machine Come To A Squeaking Halt with Their Loses?

This was the first place that called the defeat of the Fords. And I alone with so many many others were right.Joke and JR1 lost there races for office on last night,and now are wondering what should they do. Maybe They can help out at the funeral home.pushing the dead around. Tonight ends the power reign of the Ford family. Tonight starts a day of change in Memphis, The election of Steve Cohen, who received the majority of the black vote against Joke Ford shows that this city can come together to destroy that which seeks to keep us divided.

The Ford kiss asses will now go on the attack mode,but when it all ends we kicked JR1's sorry ass out of office tonight, and kept another Ford who was ready to prey on this community from getting elected. Steve Cohen will serve us well.

Congressman Cohen is already putting a plan in place to bring change to the 9th Congressional district,It's called "TEAM MEMPHIS" the congressman will be putting together a team of citizens of all races,and faiths to make this district progressive.

Harold Ford Sr. Was defeated tonight, his plan to use his sons to continue his plan of greed and power by using them as pawns or partners in making him the number 1 lobbyist in Washington has fell through. He can now take his self serving ass back to his private island,because if he sticks his nose in the political business of this community again I serve him notice,it will be cut off. This community will place in office who it chooses not who Big Daddy Ford wants.

2 Out Of Three Ain't Bad

It's late and I'm tired after spending the last six hours partying with the new congressman from the 9th Congressional district, Congressman Steve Cohen,Tonight's 3 to 1 defeat of Joke Ford was a step in the right direction in bringing Memphis together as a progressive city,and not the back water town that many across the nation preceive it to be.

Joke Ford had no business in the race,he was totally unprepared,and lacked any knowledge of the district. the spanking he received tonight should let him know that his name means nothing to the majority of people in this city. Joke Ford couldn't even come close to Roderic Ford who is no relations to the Jokester, but ran a race with no campaign material, spent no money and was never seen on TV, but received 60,000 votes. Joke what the citizens of the district told you today was that you are not wanted in politics.

Ophelia Ford was able to defeat Terry Roland in grand style. She defeated him 3to 1. But her votes didn't come because she's the best for the job,but because many blacks felt sorry for her after she lost the senate seat last year. But no matter how she won,she won and is on her way to Nashville.

Now for JR1, I told you months ago that he could and would not win. There were many factors that contributed to his lost. His father was the main reason for his lost,the advice he received from Harold Sr. Lead to his defeat. Alone with crashing the press conference of Bob Corker.

But the primary reason he lost was that citizens across this state realized that he was playing political games with them,He lied about the race of his grandmother to make White folk think that he was one of them,But what he didn't realize was that whites knew he was lieing and wanted to make fools out of them,by playing white.

His relationship with white women didn't go over to well with many of those whites who feel that "You should be with your own kind".They didn't want a congressman who was laying with there women,and making babies that were not pure white.

But the biggest mistake he made was not to support Steve Cohen for Congress. He knew that his brother Joke was just that, a Joke and should not be elected. Joke entered the race as an independent,knowing all the time he planned to run for the congress.Whites across the states were insulted when he asked for the white vote ,but refused to support a white candidate that had been nominated's by his party. But let's not feel sorry for these political misfits,they can all get a job at the funeral home caring for the dead,as the citizens of the 9th congressional have done for the past 10 years.

I feel great to have played a role in the demise of the Fords,and if they run any Ford for City mayor theres already a plan in place to politally destroy there chances of winning.

JUNIOR WHEN YOU START TO TRY TO REASON WITH YOUR LOST,AND REALIZE HOW YOUR DADDY CAUSED YOU DEFEAT, DO LIKE YOUR BROTHER JOKE,AND KICK YOUR DADDY SQUARE IN HIS ASS.

It's Time To Take A Dump

Will November 7,2006 be the day that the citizens of State Senate seat 29, The 9th Congressional District, say no to the Ford's control of local politics? And will the state of Tennessee say no to Harold Ford Jr.? It's election day, all the rhetoric ends, the commercials make no difference, But you can make the difference by not voting black or white, but for the best candidate. It's time to dump the Fords

Joke Ford with his GED should not go to congress but back to training school, or take this political experience as an education and get involved in local politics and show the citizens of this community that he has a interest. DUMP HIM
Auntie "O" who has not campaigned at all, but is seeking the "pity vote" should not be elected. If the people were not worthy of hearing her positions on the issues of the district,she is not worthy of a vote. DUMP HER
Harold Ford Sr. Has proven that he is truly a Ford,while many across thought that he was a different ford, his crashing the press conference of Bob Corker only went to prove he's a hothead like the rest of his political family. Plus in all the months that I have asked no one has provided information on what he has done in the last 10 years as congressman that warrants his being sent to the U.S.Senate. DUMP HIM

SAY NO TO THE FORDS, ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE AND NOVEMBER 7, 2006 IS A PERFECT DATE TO MAKE A CHANGE FOR ALL THE CITIZENS OF THIS STATE.

Why I Have A Bad Taste For Harold Ford Sr.

I was visiting my attorney several weeks ago,while sitting waiting for him to come in,his father also an attorney entered and asked me to come into his office. The father a daily reader of this site asked me why I didn't care for the Fords,and why I hit them on hard. After giving him my answer and thinking about it,I thought I would share that answer with you.

As an employee of N.J.Ford and Sons Funeral Home I saw many things that allows me to make the judgment that the Fords do not care as much for the black community as some would like to think they do. While at the funeral home I saw poor families taken advantage of, I saw poor families who didn't have money for a burial buy caskets for their love ones to be buried in the Shelby County cemetery. But those families were told that they were not allowed to see the burial,and there love ones would be taken out of the caskets purchased and place in a cardboard shipping crate,and the casket resold. And in many cases placed in those cardboard containers with other bodies to all be buried at one time.

I saw the TENNCARE program misused. One of the HMO's Excess MedPlus had a $10,000 death benefit,which most families were not aware of. Harold Sr. Had a client's book with all the names of local clients. When a poor person died the funeral home representative would go to the home of the next of kin and tell that person that the congressman had sent them to take care of their family and that since they were poor the funeral home would provide a funeral costing $5,000 and give that person $5,000 to put in their pockets.The representative was then paid 10% for the sale. The sad part was that in most cases the lowest priced caskets were sold.

I also saw the State's Victim's Compensation Program violated. This program at that time paid up to $10,000 to victims of a crime with I believe $5,000 going for funeral expenses. But to receive this funding the deceased person could not have brought on his or her own death by being involved in a crime. Also the person could not have there own burial insurance. What Ford would do is take a family that had insurance to a local attorney,at that time it was the father of U.S.Attorney David Kustoff,tell him that the family had no insurance when they did, fill out the paper work and get paid twice, Telling families that the state didn't approve them since the check came back in the funeral homes name alone with the next of kin whose signature was forged.

There's so many things that I could tell but I would be up all night typing. But what really turned me totally against Harold Ford Senior was in 1996 several years after I left the business. I was purchasing broadcast time from George Flinn at his Southaven radio station. In fact I purchased 9 hours a day ,5 day a week. I aired blues from 6am -10am, did my talk show from 10-12,and more blues from 12p -3p.

At this time Harold Ford Jr. Had just made his arrival on the political stage. It was my feeling that there were more qualified candidates in the race other than JR1. There were persons in the race like Rufus Jones and Steve Cohen who had a track record of service. I was the only person in the black community on radio that opposed Jr1 becoming congressman because his daddy wanted him to have the job. This didn't set well with daddy Ford. Messages were sent to me through Ford cronies telling me I had better stop badmouthing JR1. My reply to them was to tell Harold Sr. "To kiss my ass".

While still employed at the Funeral home Judge John Donald's son,John Donald Jr was involved in a robbery/murder. The judge's son had followed a man who had purchased some jewerly at the Southland Mall to a service station on Elvis Presley(The Dodge Store)at that time the rest room was on the side of the building. The man went in,John Donald Jr. Followed him in with gun in hand to rob him. Some how the man got out the rest room,got his pistol to protect himself.

There was a young lady at the pump about to get gas, her car was facing south on Elvis Presley. The two men exchanged fire with John Donald Jr being on the front driver's side of the car and the man being robbed on the rear passenger side. The young lady was struck by one of the bullets. The entry wound, according to the TBI report was to the left temple. I knew this was correct because I picked her body up from the morgue.

I had a problem with how the case was handled, The TBI report was inconclusive as to who fired the killing shot, but the fact that the entry wound was on the left side, and John Donald Jr. Was facing that direction it would just seem that the killing bullet came from his gun. The man being robbed was tried with John Donald Jr. The victim's Mother who had insurance,but who lied and received state money
through Ford's funeral home testified for the Judge's son stating that she didn't believe that he killed her daughter. John Donald Jr. Received a slap on the wrist while the man who was followed,robbed and tried to protect his life was given 20 years.

I felt that this was an injustice,and that the man being robbed had been railroaded into prison because John Donald's father was a judge. I spoke out against this injustice on my talk show, I spoke of how I knew that the young women had in fact been shot from the left side, and how ford's funeral home had committed a crime by lieing to the state and giving false statements that allowed the state to pay out money on a false pretense.

Harold Ford Sr heard the show,He in turn called Judge John Donald. They knew that what I was saying might cause an investigation into how the case was handled,alone with the fact of the funeral home's involvement in cheating the state. So they had to silence me. They called George Flinn and his brother Fred Flinn and told them that if they didn't get me off the air immediately,that Harold Sr. Who was still a congressman at the time would make sure that non of Flinn Broadcasting radio station's broadcast licenses would be renewed. I was contacted by the Flinn"s who told me what had been said by Harold Sr.and that my show had been canceled.

This sudden lost of my program put me in a financial disarray, causing me to almost lose my home at that time,had a car repossesed,filed bankruptcy and forced to pay back advertisement money already received. So yes When I say That the Fords don't give a damn about people,I'm not saying what I think I telling you what I know. Harold Ford want to control and dicate. One of the reasons that JR1 will lose the senate race is because he got involved. On this November 7, join me by voting against his political rule, and tell him like I told him. KISS MY ASS.

MAYBE IT'S TIME THE TBI INVESTIGATE:

Ford's Funeral Homes involvement in TENNCARE corruption.

What HMO as Congressman did Harold Ford sr,have control of

The abuse of the Victim's Compensation Program by the funeral home

You may also want to investigate if the funeral home is paying for death certificates at the Shelby County Health Department.

Is Harold Ford Jr. Really A Thug?

The Shakeup At WDIA

There has been a major shakeup at Clear Channel Radio,where at least 12 persons from several of the local stations owned by this company have been fired. WDIA which in the past has been a major force in the black community has lost to major personalities, in that of James Davis and Capt. Curtis Lee.

It seems according to inside reports that the local stations are up for grabs to the highest bidders. Entercom,Citadel,and Radio One are just some of the major broadcasting companies reportly looking at the local stations. This time of year in the broadcasting business companies are looking at ways to cut the bottom line, and how to make the next year more profitable with the least cost. But it's my opinion that the firing of Lee and Davis were the wrong choices for DIA.

WDIA has not been the same since the death of Jaye Michael Davis, a true radio performer. In fact I rarely listen to the station because it lacks real entertainment and very little information. In programming or owning a station one must think about not only what is best for the bottom line but also what is best for the audience.


WDIA used to brag about being the "GOODWILL STATION" a station that the black community could look to come to the aid and service of the black community. But now you have talk shows that only want to deal with sex and more sex, The talk show hosts have very little information about community affairs,and never appear at any community functions where they can find out what's going on. There News Department is a daily rewrite of the morning's paper.

James Davis was the only informed person on air, he could deal with issues of the community,probadly because he read more than The Commercial Appeal. Bev Johnson has become a joke behind the mike,she can only discuss sex and relationships which she does 3out of 5days per week. On last week when the station did it's only political show of the year featuring the candidates for the 9th congressional district,James Davis had to do the first hour of "The Bev Johnson Show" Why? Because Bev has no knowledge of politics at all. If a talk show host is one tracked, what value does that person have to the company. It would have been better to say that Johnson was off for the day than to let it be shown that she could not handle a format that did not pertain to sex.

Captain Curtis Lee who worked for me in the early 90's as program director,when I had a Lease management Agreement on a local station is the most versed Blues jock on the air. He has emceed more blues shows than any other personality in the area. Lee in my opinion would have been the perfect choice to replace "Jaye" on Saturday mornings. Fred Moore while being a nice guy,does not have the excitement for a morning show.

When it comes to ratings WDIA's best day is Saturdays where they dominate the market with there all day blues show, But with 103.5 having a Saturday morning blues show,and DIA suffering from not having a controlling personality on air they could soon lose that edge.

Bobby OJay,AKA Joe Louis Jones who makes in the neighborhood of $150,000 to program the station is doing what he thinks keeps his job secure,programming to entertain and not inform. His mission is to only maintain ratings which create revenue,not to provide information,or rock any boats. Thus all you get is something that he feels is safe and what he thinks blacks care most for, SEX.

To provide only one show on the upcoming election is an injustice to the black community. To never provide a forum for subjects of controversial nature that does not deal with screwing to due to the fact that no one presently on air is informed on local or national issues. I attend most forums and meetings and have yet to see anyone from DIA present. It's an insult with all the news that happens in this city and in the black community that Bev Johnson has to rewrite the CA. What purpose does she serve?

What DIA and most large radio stations provide now is just persons on air to push buttons. No one at these stations are allowed to use their talents and select music,Its all preprogrammed in a computer. Bobby selects every son that is heard on DIA,and all a guy does is play what he has selected. Gone are the days of real jocks like, Herb the K, Night Hawk,Robert"HoneyBoy"Thomas,Bless My Bones Wade. To just name a few who could sit behind a console and not only choose music that everyone wanted to hear, but could and would inform the black community.

Memphis radio stations that program to the black community have chosen not to use their wattage to inform. Black radio talk show hosts are not allowed to shake up the power brokers are politically inform, They are not allowed to talk about "Pimps in the Pulpit" or speak against Willie Herenton or so called black leadership who sell us a promises with no future of reality. Bill Atkins, Janis Fullilove, Leon Gray and myself have all fallen victim to stations that as long as you're dumbing down the community you're great, but as soon as you try to share information that will knock poli-trick-ans and preachers off their high horses you are put off.

It's time for a change in local radio,It's time for black radio formatted stations to stand up and provide a service to the community other than telling us how to screw. Blacks have no problem in this area at all,But where do we go when the screwing is over? And how do we inform on how not to get screwed?

More Ford Antics

This tape represents how the Fords act under pressure. The conversation was taped by fellow blogger Rick Maynard at a forum for the 9th congressional district,held by the League of Women Voters. The voice you will hear is that of Isaac Ford the manager of Joke Ford's campaign. While Joke Ford does at least have a GED, Isaac Ford is a high school drop out, which was made public several years ago when he ran for the City council.

Political Death Will Come To The Ford Family On Tuesday Night

According to the latest polls as of Tuesday night Harold ford Jr. Will be like many in the state of Tennessee,unemployed. Ford who wants to make history by becoming the first black senator from the south since reconstruction,may need to look elsewhere for a history making event. Thanks to many factors, including his negative ads,the crashing of Bob Corker's press conference, and his turning away from a fellow democrat, it appears that JR1 will be out on his butt come Tuesday night.

The latest Mason-Dixon Polls shows Bob Corker leading Ford 50-38,among 625 likely voters. The poll sponsored by The Commercial Appeal,the Chattanooga Times-Free Press MSNBC and McClatchy Newspaper just two weeks ago gave Corker a 45-43 lead. So what has happen to turn the tide on Ford?

While some look at his negative ads against Corker as a leading factor, I see several things that's leading to Ford's demise. First of all the numbers have never been in his favor, Blacks in the state of Tennessee make up only 16% of the total population of the state. Of that 16% at least 8% will be children under the age of 18,of the 8% left its only likely that 5-7% are registered voters,and of that percentage only about 3-4% really go out to vote. So the Ford camp could never win with just the black vote.

Even with the black vote,Ford will not receive 100% of that vote Mason-Dixon poll also shows that statewide Ford is expected to receive 38% of the vote, while Corker will carry 58%.The poll shows that 3% as other,and 9% undecided. If the 12% that is left over is split between the two candidates,that means that Corker will receive 56% of the vote while ford would receive 445 of the vote.

I think that another factor that the Ford camp did not look at is the vote of the Jewish communkty. JR1's shunning of Steve Cohen the democratic nominee for congress has not went over well with those who practice the Jewish faith. Alone with that factor Ford has asked for the white vote,but is unwilling to support Cohen the White candidate. Many whites who had planned to support him will now vote for Corker.

Even though Ford lied about the color of his grandmother,trying to be "one of the good old boys" But whites are not falling for the "I'm one of ya'll" lie. Whites are not giving him their support, the poll shows that while he will carry 89% of the black vote statewide,he will only carry 30% of the white vote,which leaves Corker with 58% of the white vote,if the 12% of other,and undecided is not counted.

Ford will lose on Tuesday night,But come bright and early Wednesday morning a press conference will be called,were Harold Sr. Will blame the cause of Jr lost on whites and republicans. He will want the black community to rally with him against whites, he'll call for an investigation, he'll call for a recount, he'll even state that the missing voting machine card misssing from the Shelby county Election Commission were stolen by republicans who programmed the cards and used them against his son.

HAROLD BRING A HEARSE FROM THE FUNERAL HOME TO YOUR CAMPAIGN OFFICE ON TUESDAY NIGHT,BECAUSE THE STATE OF TENNESSEE IS PLANNING ON BURYING YOUR ASS.

HERES THE MASON-DIXON POLL BREAKDOWN....http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15547024/

Say No To "O"

Auntie "O" AKA Ophelia Ford,should receive no votes in her state senate race in district 29. She has not campaigned at all,would not debate Terry Roland, would not respond to media outlets that wanted to do TV debate. "O" did not attend any candidate forums,perhaps because she spent most of her summer in rehab.

Many of those close to the Ford camp have confirmed that "O" was a patient at Charter Lakeside seeking rehab help for her booze problem. Those close to Ford will tell you that booze has long been a problem for her. Yes it's great that she's seeking help,but to elect a known boozer who has not campaigned or let her position on issues be known just because she's a Ford is dead wrong.

Many in the black community feel as though "O" was mistreated when she was expelled from the senate earlier this year,But the senate did what was needed in the quest for a fair election. Evidence alone with the fact that a Ford employee had control of the precinct was voting the dead was reason enough for an investigation.

But never the less even if some think that "O" was mistreated,why would anyone vote for her now? Does anyone know what she stands for? What's her position on healthcare? What will she do to bring business and state funds into the district? No one knows,why" because she has not been seen. "O" thinks that she should be elected because she is a Ford,and the first Ford woman to run for a office.

The citizens of district 29 would have to be stone fools to elect Ford based on her name. She is unfit for the chance to serve in the senate,not because she's a boozer but because she has done nothing to deserve being elected. Its time to end the reign of terror that the Fords have maintained just because of a name.

The Ford family does not support her, she was left off the FORD BALLOT. And if the Fords Know that she is a political liability shouldn't the rest of the community. Terry Roland may be a Republican,but he has campaigned all over the district,he has attended every forum,and sought to have a issue oriented debate with "O" but should would not comply. Why? Because she has no issues,and Harold Sr. Was to busy with his sons races to give her a issue.

Terry Roland is the best choice for the senate seat, I know that he is not just concerned about republicans but people in general. I know that he's not just concerned about whites in the district,but blacks as well. He will serve the district with pride, and will not make major decisions without meeting with the citizens of the district.

Terry Roland had planned to open an North Memphis Campaign office at Warren Lewis Barber Shop on Thomas. A press conference was called to announce it. Lewis who has been one of Roland biggest black supporters had welcomed this idea, but on the day the announcement was to be made,Lewis backed away,scared to be seen talking to Roland. Why? Because Lewis had received calls telling him that if he allowed the office to open in his shop,his barber license would be taken from him? Now I wonder who would threaten Lewis with this and why. You figure it out,and send a message to the Ford camp that many in this community are not fearful of them and don't give a damn about who they think they are.

Ford's Did Not Want Steve Cohen Present At the Clinton Rally

The following report is from an political insider:

If the truth be known, HF Sr would have succeeded in promoting Jake's candidacy, if some Democrats had not alerted Clinton’s office about what the President was getting ready to step into when he came to support Jr.

In fact, the Fords were going to have Jake on the dais with Clinton and Jr, Cohen was just given seats in the audience. Clinton would have appeared to lend his support to the Independent candidate, Jake, who is running a racist, anti-Semitic campaign against the elected Democratic candidate for the 9th District, Steve Cohen.

This did not happen because Clinton’s office was made aware of the Ford shenanigans and forced the Fords to keep Jake off the dais. And neither Jr nor Sr. were to acknowledge Jake as a candidate.

Cohen was given front row seats by the President’s staff not by the Fords.

In fact, the until the bitter end, the Ford people tried to keep Cohen off the front row even as Cohen was trying to be seated. The Ford staff only acquiesced when Clinton’s staff intervened to force the issue.

The other Democratic candidates could not be on the dais with the President because Cohen would have to be there as well. This rally should have been for all Democratic candidates. Jr and the Party would have benefited from such a show of solidarity with his fellow Democratic candidates.

One Ford family member was heard telling Cohen that he shouldn’t be there because this was a Ford rally.

The Fords were going to use President Clinton to serve their needs not the needs of the Democratic Party. They did not care if they embarrassed the President and certainly do not care about the interest of the local Democratic candidates.

It is this very self-promotional, total self-absorbed character flaw in the Harold Ford Sr family that may cost HF Jr the election.

It is known that harold Ford Sr. tried to prevent Cohen supporters,with Cohen campaign buttons from entering the rally,in fact one woman with a Cohen T-Shirt on was asked to remove it but refused.

Harold Ford's Ex Finds Fame on the Web


REAR-ENDED? AllisonRepublican smear ads notwithstanding, most Americans born since World War II would agree that black Democrat Harold Ford didn't do anything shameful when he dated a white woman.
Where Ford, who is running for Senate in Tennessee, did go wrong was in his choice of white women to date: He picked a blogger. Worse, he picked a blogger who writes a first-person sex-and-dating column for AM New York, in which she discusses such matters as her desire to have a threesome. Worst of all, he picked a blogger who loves publicity and is given to posting scantily-clad photos of herself on her site.

Her name is Julia Allison.

Ford's relationship with Allison first became news in 2003, when it was reported in the Washington Post's Reliable Source column that he was dating the then 21-year-old Georgetown student. (In that article, she was identified as Julia Baugher; she later adopted Allison as her professional name.)

It made headlines again two weeks ago, when the National Republican Senatorial Campaign issued a press release about "Ford's Fancy Fling." Allison responded with a post on her blog, filled with photos of her and Ford on a ski vacation. The post caught the attention of conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh. On Monday, Limbaugh read from Allison's blog on the air, citing it as evidence that a controversial Republican National Committee ad implying Ford likes Caucasian women was based on fact, not innuendo.

For her part, Allison—who also wrote about Ford, without naming him, in the July issue of Cosmopolitan—says she considers the attacks absurd. "My whole point is that he didn't do anything wrong," she tells Radar. "I really didn't think it was relevant, and it shouldn't affect anything."

But while Ford would no doubt rather his ex disappear for a while than defend him, that's not looking likely. "I was sort of annoyed that the New York Times didn't interview me," she says. "I'm the only person who has been publicly linked to him, ever. I'm sort of surprised no news producers have called me yet."

Democrat's Across The State Should Give JR1 The Finger

Harold Ford Jr. Who cut a campaign spot inside Mount Moriah East Baptist Church,telling us how he had to go to church, didn't learn anything since today standing in the pulpit of Temple Of Deliverance COGIC,refused to acknowledge the presence of Steve Cohen the democratic choice for congress.

Ford introduced everyone on the front row including Mayors Herenton and Wharton, Cybill Shepard, who was sitting next to Cohen,Gail Rose,his daddy,and his mother Dorothy. But not Steve Cohen. Yes you are right no he didn't introduce his brother Joke Ford,But his brother is an independent and this was a democratic event.

This was the prime time for him to show how much of a democrat he truly is. His statement could have been short and sweet,"I'm glad to see the democrats's choice for the 9th congressional seat in congress Steve Cohen" But that didn't happen. Not only was Cohen Snubbed,there were reports that those wearing Cohen campaign pins were told by Harold Sr. To remove the pins because this event was about Harold ford Jr.

Ford needs every vote he can get,but democrats saw today in his mistreatment of Steve Cohen that he does not care about the party,only his agenda. Why is it that ford cannot support or embrace the campaign of Steve Cohen,could it be like so many others that he thinks that only a black should be elected? And if this is his thinking then he is not worthy to be elected. Or could it be that he has been raised by his father to think that the 9th congressional seat is the property of the ford family to passed around like a family heirloom?

Democrats across this state must send a message to this self serving poli-trick-an, by not giving him their vote. If he can't support the white candidate, than white democrats should not give him there vote. Ford cannot not win without a large number of white votes, blacks being only 16% of the state's population can not put Jr. In office alone,he must have white votes to win.

Ford is only a democrat when it serves his need at the time. And the party should take issue with his not supporting Cohen,and demand that if he as the leading democrat in the state cannot carry the banner of the party,than the party should not carry him into the senate. Its time for the wall of oppression that was built by the Ford family to keep the citizens that they falsely represent where they wanted them to come down.

It's time that the citizens of this state with all there ethnic differences slay the dragon of racism, and march out all poli-trick-ans who wish to divide citizens with their racist agendas. Harold Ford Jr has aspirations of grandeur,he's seen the bright lights of Hollywood, but looking around the district that he has represented for ten years, he's willing to leave its citizens in darkness and political plight.

Mr. President it was great that you came to Memphis,to promote the democratic agenda, by endorsing Harold Ford Jr. I'm sure sir that you've been led to believe that junior is the best choice, But with all do respect, I must let you know that we the citizens of the 9th congressional district know him better than you.

Janis Fullilove and Joke Ford,Hmmmmmm

The CA reported this morning that after looking at the campaign disclosures of Joke Ford,Former radio talk show host Janis Fullilove is one of Joke's managers. I wonder what political advice is she giving to the Jokester.

What do you think of Janis Fullilove,and her bid to become the brain behind the joke? And will her actions spoil her chances next year of running for City Court Clerk against Thomas long?

Thousands Came To See Bill Clinton,Not Harold Ford Jr.

Former President Bill Clinton came to town and thousands filled Temple of Deliverance to see this man who looks still so presidential. Of course There were those who as Ford supporters who came out to give Harold Ford Jr. Support, But Bill Clinton was the center of attraction. Had Clinton not been there it would have just been another boring political rally held at a church.

But the question is, weather or not Clinton's visit will help JR1 any votes. I doubt that after the rally if anyone ran out of Temple Of deliverance crying "I've been delivered,I'm on my way to vote for Junior". Clinton's appearance was not for the locals but for the national attention that he would receive having Clinton here in Memphis. Had this rally been about voting,and voting early,there would have been buses and vans ready to carry people to the various early voting sites.

Even as grand as this former President is,I heard nothing from him that would have changed my time and caused me to vote for JR1. I enjoyed his speech,I admire the persona that he has,but he said nothing that convinced me that I should have voted for Junior.

The President should have had time to ride around the 9th Congressional District,and see the plight of the poor,and the condition of the district. He should have jumped in his limo with junior tagging alone and asked him to show him the industry that he's help bring to Memphis. He should also ask him what have you proposed to the citizens of the district that you can do to help curve crime.

The President said in his 32 minute speech " Harold Ford has been your Congressman, so you know what kind of senator he will be" You're right Mr. President, Thats why I voted for the other guy.

How Can Joke Ford's Camp Call Black Supporters Of Cohen "Cracker Lovers", When He's One?

JAKE BUTCHER



Tyrone Jones a staff member of Joke Ford's Campaign as he was being pulled out the door by two small women, called me a "Cracker Lover" for supporting Steve Cohen. This comment by Tyrone leads one to believe that Joke and his staff has referred to Cohen and other whites as "Crackers".

But with the complexion of the Fords how could any of them hate whites,or refer to them in a negative and vulgar term? Surely there is some white blood flowing throw their veins. In fact his uncle Lewis Ford on his California drivers license,which I saw for myself has his race as white on it.

Jr1 has announced to the world that his grandmother Vera Davis Ford was white. So for Joke to think of whites as "Crackers" means that he's speaking ill of himself.
By the way Tyrone ask your buddy Joke why his black daddy named him after a white man by the name of Jake Butcher.
