[No doubt Jackson, MS (thanks for correcting my MI blooper) is also a shithole city under Democrat rule, and has been for decades. Today’s water system breakdown is typical of how Soviet-style jurisdictions took care of their infrastructure with public monies going mainly into the pockets of corrupt politicians. Today’s mayor of Jackson is Chokye Antar Lumumba, a proud textbook socialist who describes himself as a “progressive, socialist, and political revolutionary”. Like with most of his ilk, maintaining a functioning infrastructure is not high on his governance to-do list. Again, the overwhelmingly black residents of the city continue to bring it on themselves.

A division of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), the branch tasked with confronting China, has ordered its senior leaders and commanders to stop using gender pronouns in written formats, saying the shift to more neutral language will help improve the fighting force’s "lethality."
"In accordance with the Diverse PACAF priority, ‘We must embrace, promote and unleash the potential of diversity and inclusion," states a May email sent to senior leaders and commanders at the Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, which operates under the Pacific Air Forces, according to a partial copy of the order obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

George
This Trump guy supported by a high percentage of Republicans is a real nutcase and a real gift to the Democrats. He wants to give full pardons to Jan 6 rioters. Check out this article:
"Former President Donald Trump said on Thursday he recently met with defendants in trials related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot and that he is financially supporting some of them.
When asked during a call-in with the conservative Wendy Bell Radio show how he can help the defendants, Trump said he's "financially supporting people that are incredible," adding that he hosted some defendants in his office just two days ago.
"It's a disgrace what they've done to them," Trump said, referring to sweeping Justice Department and FBI investigations of the deadly insurrection.
"They're firemen, they're policemen, they're people in the military," Trump said of the defendants, adding that his legal team has been "working on it very hard."
The former president did not disclose how many defendants he is supporting, nor did he mention how much money is being given.
NPR reported in January that right-wing media personalities — and organizations — have raised money for January 6 defendants.
Trump also said he will look "very favorably" about giving "full pardons" to individuals convicted of crimes related to the Capitol riot if he decides to run and win the 2024 presidential election.
"I think that's probably going to be the best because even if they go for two months or six months — they have sentences that go a lot longer than that — but we'll be looking very, very seriously at full pardons because we can't let that happen here," Trump said, adding that convicted rioters would also get an "apology."

Paul - Care to compare that to Fetterman?
His most urgent desire is that he is able to get men who rape and strangle little kids be able to get out of prison.
There were a lot of the Jan 6th rioters that sat in prison for a year before they even had a trial.
""It's a disgrace what they've done to them," Trump said,..."
And he is correct.
I do not condone any of the violent actions on Jan 6th but there has been the most lopsided miscarriage of justice in how they were treated compared to left wing violence that was mostly given a complete pass. And that continues today.

Thats going to lead to a lawsuit they will loose -
“Major corporations seem to have forgotten that there’s such a thing as law,” Gail Heriot, a law professor at the University of San Diego and a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, told the Washington Free Beacon. “They seem to think that as long as they’re woke, they’re bulletproof.”
Heriot said the program has a “clear case of liability” under federal law. That includes the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which prohibits racial discrimination in contracting, and Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits racial discrimination in employment.

You can find it if you want to but you don't so there's no point in me playing your stupid games.
As soon as Trump actually has the power to pardon anyone I'd have to see the actual list of pardons or qualifications for pardons before I could possibly comment. I will say there are many cases I would pardon. Thrown in jail for a year before you even get a trial and then are charged with trespass? Absurd.

Posted by: Paul Emery | 02 September 2022 at 08:30 AM
About last night, part two…initial thoughts.
First up, Biden’s ever so acute press spokesperson, Karine Jean-Pierre:
“When you are not with what majority of Americans are, then you know, that is extreme. That is an extreme way of thinking.”
Now let’s take in a more complete expression of this thought about the rightfulness of the majority:
“If legality and illegality can be arbitrarily at the disposal of the majority, then the majority can, above all, declare their domestic competitors illegal, that is, hors-la-loi, thereby excluding them from the democratic homogeneity of the people. Whoever controls 51 percent would be able to render the remaining 49 percent illegal. The majority would be permitted to use legal means to close the door to legality, through which they themselves entered, and to treat partisan opponents like common criminals, who are then perhaps reduced to kicking their boots against the locked door.”
Who said this? Carl Schmitt, in Legality and Legitimacy (1932), the German thinker usually scorned by the left for his association with the Nazis. Maybe the staging of Biden’s speech wasn’t just a coincidence.
‘It was a dark speech. Dark and Gloomy. Dark, vary dark.’ —psul Emmerrhiod on Trump’s Inauguration Speech, Jan 2017. Vary Dark speech. Gloomy, dark.

"Still no state funding for Jackson to replace 11,000 lead water service lines Updated: Oct. 12, 2021"
"(October 12, 2021 4:20 PM) Over the next 35 years, more than 11,000 lead water service lines will be removed and replaced in the City of Jackson. With such a massive undertaking on the horizon, the City has launched Lining Up Jackson to keep residents in the loop.
By visiting cityofjackson.org/liningupjackson, residents can learn everything they need to know about the City’s lead line replacement program. This website features education on why the changes are happening, replacement progress, and upcoming construction schedules. A short video produced by the City gets residents up to date on Jackson’s plan to replace lead service lines.
The City’s $120 million plan to switch out all 11,339 lead service lines is being paid for by water rate increases, City funds and other governmental funding sources. So far, 335 service line replacements have been performed over the past three years, but hundreds of lines will need to be swapped out every year to keep up with the State of Michigan’s requirement."

Whole Foods.
Good morning. Yep, sounds like Flint. It is not just a matter of replacing lead water pipes from the treatment plant (which is not that hard), but replacing the lead pipes in the home that is the real stickler. There is after all a point of demarcation when the city’s or water company’s responsibility ends and the homeowner’s responsibility ends. Newer houses do not lead pipes leading to the kitchen sink. as evidenced by two of Flint’s nine water sections that have no lead in the water problems. Those be the rich folks, lol. Nah, those two areas draw the same water as the rest of Flint does, except they be rich folks in newer homes.
Detroit has houses for sell for $8,000. Of course, the taxes on the abandoned homes are 10k a year, 20k in taxes to buy and get into the humble abodes.

No worries this morning about ‘next up, personal attacks.’ You had that more than covered last night with you rage against fish ‘the fake who does not count’ and the rest of the Circle of Jerks who, if they used their real names….connecting the dots…. would be embarrassed to be here. Yet here you are. I am not embarrassed in the least, are you? I love it when you connect the dots. It is stunning.
“fish doesn't count because he's a fake and everyone knows it cause he won't even use his real name because he's embarrassed to be here.
All for now.”
Who can argue with that. You own it.

Whole Foods. Excuse my numerous typos. The point of demarcation is the exact point where a utility company’s responsibility ends and the homeowners responsibility begins.
I see a theme forming this morning. Michael Moore in tight tee-shirts and Flint, Michigan. And Dem controlled shithole cities.

The person known as fish came here originally to respond to the Michael Moore of the Berekely of the Foothills of the Sierra (no S on Sierra, people), aka, a person known as The FUE. Our own Michael Moore look alike. The FUE brought fish here and you have kept him here, Psul. It’s all your fault.
Like the old saying in these parts, “Come to Nevada County on vacation, leave on probation.”

Hole Foods 8:54 - "This blog is silly with MAGA misinformation and propaganda."
Yes?
And that would be?
Hmmmm...
Nothing, apparently.
"Case in point, Jackson MI."
Cities should take care of their own water supply. Why should anyone else bail them out? Care to guess what happened to the money?
Ah yes - "equity".
So much more important than clean drinking water.

Whole Foods @ 8::54 am
“The City’s $120 million plan to switch out all 11,339 lead service lines is being paid for by water rate increases, City funds and other governmental funding sources. So far, 335 service line replacements have been performed over the past three years, but hundreds of lines will need to be swapped out every year to keep up with the State of Michigan’s requirement."
Wow. Great minds think alike and all that stuff. You, too, where thinking of Flint, MI and Michael Moore. It’s easy to confuse MI and MS, but it’s one and the same to most folks…with the exception of Wicked Gretchen running the state.
Yep, hundreds of lines will need to be swapped out every year to keep up with the State of Michigan’s requirements. Could not have said it better myself.
Good morning indeed, fine sir.

Blogger Rebane appears to have misidentified Jackson MS as Jackson MI in his Sandbox intro.
The so called shithole city mayor has only been in office since 2017. The city's water issues predate that mayor by many years.
"Wealthier white people fled Jackson, starting in the ’70s and ’80s, following the integration of public schools, which eroded the city’s tax base. Jackson is now nearly 83 percent Black, up from 47 percent Black in 1980, and roughly a quarter of its residents are below the poverty line. That means there’s far less public money for repairing the city’s infrastructure, some of which is more than 100 years old.
Ongoing tensions between the city and state have only made infrastructure upgrades more challenging. While spreading out the cost of repairs to the state would help cover the expenses, many white people in the suburbs aren’t compelled to help and many Jackson residents fear ceding control of such a vital service, Mississippi Today’s Anna Wolfe reported last year.
“It’s twofold,” Wolfe wrote. “Systemic racism is an unmistakable underlying cause for Jackson’s stripped resources, and while it may be clouded by a mutual distrust today, racism continues to prevent future investment.”

I was referring to her being elected as Governor Gregory. The fact is that she lost the election for the house. Perhaps my language was confusing to you. I'll make things simpler for you in the future. Apparently you didn't know she was once Governor. Fact is she bailed and quit after two years.

Not to split hairs (ok, Inamorata splitting hairs, but that well worn saying in this neck of the woods is ‘Come to Nevada County on vacation, stay on probation.’ Tomatoe, tomato.
Word is that Jake Tapper’s days at CNN are numbered. Advertisers not happy with the ratings. It’s not the networks or the Woke who call the shots on TV news. It’s the advertisers who have the real power. Jake on the chopping block? Say it is not so.

Hole Foods - ""Wealthier white people fled Jackson, starting in the ’70s and ’80s, following the integration of public schools, which eroded the city’s tax base."
I'd bail too.
You're not allowed to 'discipline' black school children and the other students aren't allowed to get better grades.
And this is not just because of the blacks. White lefties push this crap because they don't really think blacks can behave like civilized people so they don't hold them accountable.
Funny how when Y-tee leaves the tax base goes down. Why is that? The house didn't leave. Sumpin happen when Y-tee left?
It's not skin color or national origin, dude. It's the whole package that these days makes folks just want to leave. Just like the thousands of middle class pouring out of CA.

One hundred year old pipes? That might be a problem. Sounds like Grass Valley when they finally replaced the pipes in downtown, we’re the action is. They found wooden pipes. At least GV had to wisdom to hold back on buying solar panels until the 100 year old pipes were replaced.
About 25 years ago, I briefly meet a roofer who was replacing a roof on downtown Mill Street near Bank St. He was filthy dirty to the max. He said the old roof was cover with two feet of dirt. Lasted for years and years, but like everything built (be it machinery or anything made by MAN, it breaks down over time.

Well Scott, I never heard of anyone ever moving TO Jackson , Mississippi nor Flint, Michigan for that matter. If you want to talk about racism, check out Jackson, CA. It’s were the progressive urban rats flee to. They ones who are afraid to leave the state.
Go back to Berkeley, stink-asses.

Whole Foods: I wished you just came out and blamed bad structural racism from the get-go. You are sounding like Steve now, throwing a red herring out first before getting to the real root of the matter. It’s racism, pure and simple. Got it. Well, when the white flight occurred, the hard working black folks moved into the homes Y-T moved out of. Besides lead, wonder it they have rust problems as well.

Funny that.
When Obama and other black multi-millionaires put down roots we notice it's never in black-majority areas.
Never.

Why is that?
Where did Obama send his precious lil' darlings for proper schooling?
Hole Foods knows but he's not allowed to mention it. Lefties are just not allowed to talk about reality.

Anne Wolfe was from Washington State and transferred to Mississippi state to get her BA. Took precalculus as a jr or sr. A real rocket scientist.
"Journalist in Mississippi. Complicating the narrative on poverty, the workforce, race, health, local and state politics, government and the environment through the stories of her people. Providing job security to FOIA officers."
Generally, the more complicated the thinking, the less true it tends to be. The Farce of CRT is strong with this one.

Well Scott, the good pastor Dr. Jeremiah Wright of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, upon retirement bought himself a fine 6 million dollar home in a rich white area of town. G-D America.
It’s called bettering one’s lot in life. It was a universal human trait in days gone by. Everybody wants out of the crime infested dangerous ghettos and barrios, and some do. Millions have and are as we speak. Some cannot get out for a variety of reasons. As Morgan Freeman told Don Lemon when asked about people who say ‘the game is rigged, I am stuck here’ because of racism, Morgan replied “Bull Shit.” In America today? Anyone can make it in America today. You and I leaving proof of that. Anyone can take the next bus out of town. I did. (He came from poverty shacks in Memphis during Jim Crow and has seem racism.). Then, yes. Now? Bull shit.
It’s a different Don Lemon now.

Taking a page from putins playbook -
As the speech concluded, images of the president standing before a red and black backdrop with military soldiers flanking his sides poured out all over social media, evoking comparisons with the Third Reich, the USSR, and even the gates of hell.
Even prominent Never Trumper Jonah Goldberg admitted the speech was a “terrible mistake.”

If they're "locals" now... for how long? Do they know the local food banks are crowded during harvest times?

They are in the midst of a world tour. If you would have checked out their website which I gave you a link to you would have known that. Thats an example of self enforced ignorance-don't expose yourself to anything that might enlighten you.
That's what grants you membership in what Bill describes as the Circle of Jerks. Kinda sad, you being a musician not allowing yourself the freedom to explore new music and cultures.
