Sources state that on last Friday night at his east Memphis office John Elkington held a reception and fund raiser for Memphis mayoral candidate John Elkington. Whats strange about this if the Beale Street source is correct is that Elkington owes the City of Memphis millions. According to a forensic audit done on his company Performa Real Estate. between 2002 and 2009 $6.4 million dollars is missing.
It's also known that the temporary mayor Myron Lousy is seeking to settle with Elkington which means that all though he has stolen millions Lousy wants to give him a past while others have been indicted,charged,and placed in prison. The question stills remains WHY?
What does Elkington have on local poli-trick-ans that makes them want to let him out the back door while the city is left holding the bag. We know that Elkington has contributed to Lousy's council campaigns, We know that under the direction of former city councilman Ricky peete who also was the Director of the Beale Street Merchants Association that Lowery received contributions from the Beale Street Merchants Political Action Committee. So was the fundraiser a way of bribing Wharton to continue if he's elected to office to forgive him of his sins?
If the source is correct the presence of Wharton at a gathering where he's receiving money from Elkington gives a signal that maybe Wharton is not as pure as many want to make him out to be. The only reason that Elkington would want to give Wharton money is to bribe him . So is Wharton a snake waiting to get his fangs into Beale Street or does he think that Elkington can step on him and some of his friends?

hmmmmm...it didn`t seem to bother you when Willie Herenton was stealing from the citizens of Memphis. Making under the table deals right and left, hiring unqualified cronies. I guess since he is black that is ok right?
I want to know why the current city attorney is asking Henrendon to repay less than $8,000. Why is
Elbert Jefferson not requesting the $55,000 Willie stole from the citizens of Memphis to pay his PERSONAL attorney fees?
The black city council members
have no back bone. They do NOT
serve the citizens of Memphis. Willie has plenty of money let him pay his own attorney fees. What a circus, Prince Mongo is beginning to look like a good fit for mayor
in this ridiculous city.
seems to me, someone like you, me or rev.pastor officer jennings bernard, could file a lawsuit against performa and prevent the
white powder brokers from letting him off.
hmmmm?
i got yurz. the farmer rests. darn white powder brokers.
All we want to know about AC Wharton is when he win mayor of Memphis is he going to fire Jerry Collins the man who is running our utility company into the ground. Jerry Collins is worse that John Elkington. John Elkington stole millions. Jerry Collins is wrecking a billion dollar company. John Elkington and Jerry Collins is two of a kind. Jerry Collins we as management employees has no respect for you.
"Sources state that on last Friday night at his east Memphis office John Elkington held a reception and fund raiser for Memphis mayoral candidate John Elkington."
Correction needed?
Its them dam white powder brokers!
Them DAM nigger council members continue to ruin this city. They let that theiving nigger keep his lawing job cause he be black. Stupid fucking monkey's! Wanda Halbert is a FAT CUNT!
I is getting yo's.
Thad I think you should back Wharton,,that way he has no chance of winning.Your support is the kiss of death for any Mayoral Candidate.
It just seems Matthews is libeling everyone but his two out of twenty candidates for mayor that are advertising here. Is Thaddeus so much of a loser that no one wants to advertise with him? Then, of course, why pay to loose support as you would if Matthews backed you.
YOU ARE SO STUPID, FAT-E-US. Elkington is running for mayor? You are such a dumb ass
Why is it that if you want to get ahead in political thievery, then you should become active in the democrat party? It just seems that every time you turn around you find democrats being indicted, tried and found guilty of criminal wrong doing especially where money is involved.
Has there ever been a survey that reflects the percent of democrats verses republicans in the penitentiary?
Clift Dates II owner of CDA Security needs to be investigated. He is involved in some of Elkington outside of Beale Street Ventures. Clift and John have been lining each others pockets with big money for years.

There you have a good example of an unbelievable statement from one stupid person that is no more a part of management at MLG&W than Thaddeus Matthews is alive and well.
If Collins has anyone in a management position as stupid as this poster appears to be, then maybe MLG&W does need a new president.
Those blacks on the city council make ass holes out of the voter's pocket books every day. Jefferson, the little black jelly bean, comes up with something about looking into getting back a few thousand from Willie so as to keep his job.
Spence, Herenton and Jefferson orchestrated the whole deal to watch after their own tail. They might have just nullified one FBI investigation, Willie will pay out a few thousand and save a couple of years off of the jail time that is soon to come.
The council just screwed up one of the FBI investigations into Willie's crimes as the three principals in this conspiracy are obviously in cahoots. How are the tax payers going to remove the smell of Willie from city hall?
We also know that A.C. fired Bobby Lanier for his involvement in this scheme , But later asked him to be in charge of his re-election campaign. Curious, to hire a criminal isn’t it? I forgot he is white .
John Willingham admitted to voting to provide the Health Department with additional funds via our MLGW bill. (Look at one) He did not know that Madlock could not balance her budget like other departments and was basically “dumb” so the community has to help fund A.C’s corrupt agenda of hiring stupid unqualified department directors. (Fact) What happened to the 5 million dollar Ryan White grant and why was it seized and taken from the health department by A.C ?
Or do you plan to tax my damn cable bill next?
A.C. ‘s sudden caring attitude concerning the health of this community and willingness to provide not for the community at large but only the politically well connected is a damn shame.
So far as Moron lousy is concerned you should get the intro from the cartoon “Magilla Gorilla”
It starts off “ Gorilla for Sale -Magilla Gorilla- Gorilla for Sale “ and A.C. can be the little guy that runs the pet store. I wonder is A.C. jr showed that child in Nashville his banana? It must have appeared Big but I guess everything is Big when it is hanging off a 30 year old black man and you are just a 13 y/o little white girl?
It is obvious that the sudden media blitz is pure crap and is only being done to give the appearance of caring prior to election time . Why Mayor Wharton did nothing in the past is pretty clear . He did not give damn then or now
When the commercial appeal article first appeared and people became curious of the credentials of the Health Director who (A.C. knows does not have a degree in Public Health but only a Masters in Teaching) . He sent his girlfriend Lorrie Clark from at 160 N Main to be Madlock’s assistant and basically do her job. Madlock ordered the maintenance crew to “remove the M.A.T alphabets after her name on her office door (a sure tip off that she has questionable credentials) before others would see it now that her incompetence was no longer a local secret but now a national embarrassment.
You do remember how we got Wendi Thomas don’t you ? The Commercial Appeal was under fire for not being more sensitive to issues concerning blacks ( just like today) and convened a roundtable of table of black notables such as Kathryn Bowers ( was in jail) and Yvonne Madlock ( should be in jail) to offer suggestions and declare that “we are more than just teachers” (ironically that is all that she is because as a Health Director she is a absolute failure) they needed a safe person so they chose Wendi Thomas who was already at the paper ( Why the soft ball approach to covering health department corruption ? Could it be because Wendi’s mother works at the health department?
A.C used the Health Department as a dumping ground for his political contributors. He was not cleaning up county corruption when he ordered Yvonne Madlock at the Health Department and her “Igor: Carol Farris to create a phony lawyer job for Janet “Lansky” Shipman (that’s right of Lansky Brothers) who conspired to provide county credit card thief (Tom Jones) with additional retirement benefits ( while he was in jail) in her former position as the Director of Shelby county Human Resources. 90,000 dollars a year is not a serious demotion but this is the kind of justice that A.C. Wharton provides when you are politically connected. The kind of defense many of his former clients in the public defender’s office wish they got.
Mr Matthews,
I would like to inform you of one of the most serious breaches of the public trust that I have heard of in the past 25 years. It involves the political patronage of A.C. Wharton and the depths that he would sink in order to cover up his own failures. If you notice we have a lot of attention now being focused on the terrible infant mortality rate in this area. It has been well chronicled that the Shelby county Mayor and Health Department Director Yvonne Madlock (a Jim Rout selection ) have never made a serious effort to address it . He knows that this is his weak spot. The following is a quote from a 2005 CA article:
Fact: ( Many cities face the same demons of poverty and low education levels but have more aggressively whittled their rates. In the early 1990s cities across the country launched public information campaigns spurred by the federal government to cut infant deaths and bring the United States' rate more in line with other industrialized countries.Memphis never joined up. Flo Patton, a Memphis public health nurse almost 30 years, can't explain why."We never did the media spots or pushed the information out into the community.")Aimee Edmondson Commercial Appeal

Tell us that AC did not go to that fundraiser. AC, you know Elkington is guilty. Tell us Why, Why, Why.
Oh,Boy,
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A SORRY MAYOR.
PRINCE MONGO IS RIGHT AT HOME.
Ricky Peete, Myron Lowery plus many more elected officials received Campaign contributions from Elkington. Elkington knows black folks can be bought for a little of nothing. That is the reason why Elkington could steal millions of dollars and get away with it because the politicians turned their heads to Elkington stealing. Hope AC doesn't allow Elkington to make a fool of him.
John Elkington might think he is buying favor from AC Wharton but it won't work. AC is his own man, he will not be bought by the likes of Elkington. Elkington just wasted his money.
I give John Elkington credit, he knows how to buy a negro. Pop AC, you are bought and paid for. That dam elkington is good.
AC attending a fundraiser by Elkington sends a POWERFUL MESSAGE HERE. I hope the citizens of this city gets it. AC doesn't give a damn about any of us, its all about AC and him winning.
he just lost my vote. I see, its all about the money here. Damn what Elkington has done, damn the city, damn the taxpayers, damn, damn, damn said AC.
AC attend a fundraiser held by John Elkington, tell us who to trust. We know we can't trust elkington, now it appears we can't trust AC.
....And they wonder why this city is on a downward slope.
AC should have a shown a better judgement of character than to allow John Elkington to even think about having a fundraiser for him. That is the taxpayers money they are talking about that Elkington has stolen.
It lets the voters know that when you want to win, it doesn't matter at whom expense. People sell their souls for a dollar everyday. Taxpayers could not be important to AC since he attended a fundraiser given by a man that owes the taxpayers millions of dollars.
Taxpayers has not been paid any money in 25 years. Elkington is under a cloud of fraud, theft, misconduct and AC felt it was OK to attend a fundraiser held for him by Elkington. It's more than probable that it was the taxpayers money Elkington donated to AC campaign.
Thad, would you please do a show on how there appears to be a "NO SNITCHING" policy among elected officials. Why is the District Attorney investigating Atty. Jefferson for a $55,000 legal bill and not say a word about investigating the John Elkington situation. Are our elected officials protecting one another. Also why did we have to learn from the Commercial Appeal that Myron Lowery and Jack Sammons is taking bids to have several structures demolished and 100-year old grand carousel dismantled. The elected officials in Shelby County and Memphis really do not work for the people. When County Commissioner Malone stated on your show yesterday that she, Wharton, and Wharton made the decision not to let the voters decide who would be on the Consolidation Charter Commission. Myron Lowery did not host town hall meetings to ask the Citizens of Memphis for their input on what should happen at the Mid-South Fairgrounds. It has been proven that whatever the developers want they get. Would somebody please tell Jack Sammons and Myron Lowery that the Citizens of Memphis are not stupid. Jack Sammons stated that the reason they were going to dismantle the Grand Carousel because it cost them $160,000 in security cost. If Myron Lowery and Jack Sammons were so concerned about the tax payers money they would of let Atty. Wilkins get the money that John Elkington owes the city. "NO SNITCHING" is live and well in politics.
you know Elkington is guilty. Tell us Why, Why, Why
thad say so, he know everything
I know this blog is about race and race alone. But I couldn't help but note the comment from Ricky Wilkins, Esq. that the city council hired him and demanded that he "win" the case. No attorney would promise a client that they are going to "win". If you want to "win" you don't pay the attorney, you pay the judge and/or jury!
thad,
i was there and it was not about shit. they fired bream and taters for the niggers and put us in a back room. i left when they told us to grease our asses.
Have Mayor Wharton turned gangster? Have sending men to prison made Mayor Wharton become criminal himself?
Memphis is going to have to bring the Atty General from Washington, Dc to come here and clean up this town.
The head of public defender using stolen funds to fund his political parties. Atty general Bill Gibvens allows all these crooks like MayorH steal millions and so on. Theives laundering money with the MLG&W thru 4million dollar insurance policies. Will the theives ever stop.. Will someone prosecute the big money thieves?
NOT MAYOR WHARTON!!!
Oooooh we, I never would have ever thought or believed Wharton would hangout with the likes of these theives.
Not the head of the public defenders office. Not as many crooks and criminals Wharton have sent to prisons!!
Not Mayor Wharton?!- as many criminals that have called Wharton from prison begging for habeas corpus(relief from unlawful detention)and help.
You Mayor Wharton would hangout with the likes of this criminal?! The way you ask for Roskco Dixon's resignation ASAP?!
Thad you got to be lying.
Mayor Wharton know a criminal when he see one. See I know him from his 201 Poplar days.
Wouldn't you think Matthews would have more political advertisers for the mayors race with his claims of heavy hits, political astuteness and for sure his reputation for never downing an advertiser.
It's just an enigma for him alone as to why candidates don't cram this blog with their ads, but an enigma to him alone, for sure, as the rest of us know that his backing becomes the kiss of oblivion, politically speaking.
Those posters here that support Matthews couldn't find their way to the polls, those that oppose him would vote for anyone but one of his advertisers.

AC didn't want to spend the evening in some public park gnawing on some watered down Kentucky Fried Chicken with a bunch of racists.
Wouldn't you rather have a meal over nice white linen rather than a postage size piece of wet paper with an image of Colonel Sanders printed upon it, but smeared with uncooked chicken blood from a chicken wing joint?
Jack Sammons is laughing all the way to the bank just as Herenton and many many others in the "click" have in Memphis for many years.
I am so glad I have NEVER and I NEVER will pay Memphis or Shelby County property taxes!
The Commercial Appeal and Channel 3 have elected square-jawed A.C. Wharton as our next city mayor by a wide margin. That should please John Elkington who now believes the six million Beale Street dollars is safe in his Swiss bank account.
From the Commerical appeal about the damn carousel:
"...Until that day comes, though, does it really make sense for the city to pay a private security firm $456 a day to stand guard over the amusement park ride while the city tries to get redevelopment plans for the fairgrounds on track.
That's $166,440 a year to have a security guard posted outside the carousel's shuttered housing."
--------------------------------
In the meantime, Afro American children are reading from worn out dilapidated school books, having to cross unprotected streets, go hungry, or eat the junk fed at the public schools. Learn from uncaring teachers.
Yep! white folks still have the purse strings in Memphis. They are more worried about a damn carousel of wooden horses than they are anything else!
Somebody wants to argue about my hatred? Sure! For over 400 years white folks have hated Afro Americans. You see it every day.
Elkington wants to invite Wharton to eat dinner. Fine, but Wharton needs to remember that he will never and I mean never, stand on equal footing with the white man.
This is a white man's country. And the Afro American is nothing but an ex-slave who is now trying to get himself integrated into the slave master's house.
And the slave master doesn't want you!
You fought and bled and died in every war the white man waged, and he still won't give you justice. You nursed his baby and cleaned behind his wife, and he still won't give you freedom; you turned the other cheek while he lynched you and raped your women, but he still won't give you equality. Now, you integration-minded Afro Americans are trying to force yourselves on your former slave master, trying to make him accept you in his drawing room; you want to hang out with his women rather than the women of your own kind.
Go find that RSVP magazine and look at all the Afro Americans feigning and wooing over these white devils!
Anybody who would rape, steal, plunder, kill, enslave and wage war constantly on a people is nothing but a devil incarnate! Why the hell associate with it!
White man Elkington should have been shown tying a bib on Wharton. Trouble is....it has 13 knots on the other end of it!
"I Gotz Mines!"
thad and carpenter are desperate..
throwin as much shit as they can and hopin it sticks

Is this Louis FaraKan? He sho does hates whitey!
"I had yourz!"
A.C. has about as almost equal support of blacks and whites. This is what the city needs. Look at those racist candidates that Thug is supporting and accepting their green. They are doomed as is Thug. Why can't you White haters learn something, or do you just prefer staying behind that black eight ball?
Thug, you say you receive lots of hits, but it seems you have little or no support excepting for that small percent [about two percent] that go for your candidates. Yes, you are the kiss of oblivian to a candidate.
Vote For Myron, he is not afraid of anyone and wants what is best for the citizens.
Many of these anti white racist blacks need to realize that slavery was something that both blacks and whites did. The fact is large numbers of free Negroes owned black slaves.In 1860 only a small minority of whites owned slaves. You would find that statistics show that, when free, blacks disproportionately became slave masters.
So leave your white man trying to hold down the black man rhetoric and realize it has always been the black man holding back the black man.

Thad could care less, as he has said, he is just selling ads. Gross equals net to him on this free blog. No dsperation on his part other than his trying to bite the rear of Myron and A.C. It's hard to tell who Thad is for. His meaningless words of a few weeks ago regarding a promise to announce his choice meant nothing. Thad is the local Obama when it comes to the use of the forked tongue.

Some of of you are really up in a lather hoping to find a white person with his hand in the till. Maybe, you will be able to settle down when the score becomes one white to eleven blacks in jail.
You're boys are still filling the house in all of the big city jails. What gives?
