Berding gets the boot!

Hear ye! Hear ye! The Cincinnati Democratic party  officially pulls its endorsement of council member Jeff Berding, Upon hearing this I couldn’t help but think of the Sam Cooke song (A Change is gonna come), and the lyrics that a good many people (Democrats and others) in this town might be sangin‘-- It’s been a loooooooooooooong time coming! Well CAJD will be tuned in to our favorite radio station at 5:00 pm  to get an insiders take as to why Berding got the boot.

From that political commercial last year, “Berding’s not a bad guy, he’s just been around too long.”


(Bro. Powell you know that you brought council member Berding to Dos Amigos on his birthday with a cake)

Yeeeeeeeees We can!



Vote yes on these two local issues: coming to a ballot box near you real soon. Yes on 8! Yes on issue 9!

______________________________________________________________________

Attorney David Singleton is the man! He called the Mayor out on the Lisa K. Crawford radio show in regards to the city’s policy on NOT hiring felons. He essentially told the mayor to Man-Up. Sort of.  Attorney Singleton is not disrespectful…actually he sent out a kind request over the airwaves for the mayor to take a big stand on the city's policy of not hiring felons. Attorney Singleton is a class act! The mayor really ain’t so bad either , although he’s on the wrong side of the tracks on a few issues--issue 8, issue 9, city not hiring felons….

Big up to City Beat newspaper. Thanks for not being sccccccccaaaaaaared and allowing me to advertise, running the risk that your paper might ruin your relationship with City government. lol. I swear to God a local billboard company declined my business because (these are their words), “We are not willing to risk our relationship with City government. Bitches. Grow a pair. Remember that group, that joke group (with only one good member…run Charlie run….) Citizens for Community Values, tried to sue City Beat over the “hooker ads” and City Beat fought back! The only local prick that didn’t sign that petition was Joe Deters, wonder why?

Joe Must Go! (Wilson and Deters)

Joe has got to Go! (Wilson and Deters) Congressman Wilson. Wow. What a class-act. I've said this many times before on this blog--A man can put on a suit, comb his hair over--but if it walks like a duck, it’s a duck. Congressman Wilson’s behavior proves he is a re-thug-lican. (Not all Republicans are Re-thug-licans.) I found the below website while browsing the internet. Is it legit? Don’t know. I skimmed the site and saw a few things that caused me to assume the site is “bootleg” Anyway…. http://www.joetheheckler.com/?gclid=COb-h77t6ZwCFSDxDAodb1MakQ _____________________________________________________________________ A good Republican. I like Congresswoman Jean Schmidt. I do. I haven’t followed (too much) the latest controversy in which she allegedly questions if President Obama is an American citizen. I’m a constituent in Schmidt’s district. I’ve contacted her office regarding a few issues that I needed assistance with, and got the assistance. Having seen Congresswoman Schmidt around and about town, the last occasion being a Joe Deters protest, I recognize that she tends to agree with folks for agreement sake. I have her on video at the Kevin Dewine fundraiser dinner. In the video I approach her and give her my spiel about Dirty Deeds Deters. She takes my hand, pats it and shakes her head up and down, as I ramble on. Is she agreeing with me? Don’t know. I don’t take it as her agreeing with me, but placating me. Jean’s a Placater. Is that a word? My advice to Congresswoman Schmidt -- you can’t placate everyone. Be careful who you placate. It appears that a great many of these people that show up at town hall meetings aren’t the most sane individuals. _____________________________________________________________________ Teen admits guilt. Is this the same teen (won‘t use name to protect his privacy) that assumed that when one waives their rights, someone waves at you. Lord have mercy on this teen. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” MLK http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090910/NEWS0107/309100050 Yes my heart goes out to the victim/s that was hit with the rock. I sent a prayer up for her. But I also pray for this teen who is the victim of the just-us system. ____________________________________________________________________ I also sent a prayer up for the newborn who was shot in the leg and in his “pair” in OTR a few days ago. Wow! I keep my tissue out. ___________________________________________________________________ A prayer for the family of the young teen that was stabbed in the back. My God, what is this world coming too? __________________________________________________________________ Happy Weekend Readers.

Driehaus jumps off President Obama’s coat tail on health care reform(UPDATE)

Driehaus Dog and Pony show around town. I will never forget the way Congressman Driehaus introduced himself to the Cincinnati Black community. It was with a jingle on Black radio. The jingle Dreeeehaaaaaaaaus, was a play on that famous song Brick house, by the Commodores. The song expresses the singers fascination at watching a woman who has a fab body. Driehaus’ jingle on the other hand--I’m not sure what purpose it served other than a lousy attempt to pander to black people. Many people, including myself, called into the radio station and expressed our disgust with the tacky political jingle commercial. Driehaus response to our complaints-- was to make us aware that a black guy working on his campaign came up with the idea. And? ____________________________________________________________________ There was some discourse in the community when some (a good many) black folks decided not to vote for Driehaus because of his stance on issues related to our communities. Still, Driehaus showed up at our churches and our parades. He kissed our babies and his “purple t-shirt staff--the black guys” were always present with him. (Don’t lie Bro. Powell you know you wore that purple t-shirt everywhere.) __________________________________________________________________ Driehaus is a likable guy who “dissed” Hamilton County persecutor Joe Deters. Dissing Deters earns a politician 20 brownie points in some of our political score books. (although I don’t vote in Driehaus’ district) . Also, one of his purple t-shirt guys warned me that Joe Deters was a dangerous man. But that’s a entirely different story. ___________________________________________________________________ Let me get back on topic. Back to Driehaus. He’s a likable guy. He's got that Charlie Winburn "it" factor. When he knocked off 14-year Republican veteran Steve Chabot. (By the way Chabot is a cranky SOB) in last years campaign race, many speculated, including the paper of record, that he rode President Obama’s coat tail. ___________________________________________________________________ Road the coat tail than hopped off. Driehaus is speaking at town hall meetings and stating that he’s does not support President Obama’s public option which is health care reform. Yet he sung a different tune to black folks last year, when he told every black person that would listen that he whole heartedly supported President Obama. Yet it's discouraging to some that Driehaus doesn't 100% support Presdient Obama on the health care issue. ___________________________________________________________________ If Driehaus has a problem with President Obama’s health care plan than he should do like President Obama suggested--come up with a better solution. He has not. Driehaus should also discuss the issue with President Obama behind closed doors. ____________________________________________________________________ A paragraph to Driehaus-- Soon you will reappear on Black radio. You'll be back at our churches and our meetings, and some of us will call you out on a variety of your campaign promises that you have yet to keep. (foreclosure, help eliminate sentence disparity) We will not forget. Black folks will Rememba next Novemba. Update: I heard from Congressman's Driehaus office. A man name John called me to clarify Congressman Driehaus position. He stated that the two versions of the bill on Driehaus' website (one is over one thousand pages and the other is 35 pages) are old versions of the bill. He stated that currently the bill is being re-written (watered down????) and that when that one is completed Driehaus would once again take a position on the bill. I appreciate Congressman Driehaus' office promptly returning my phone call. I called them last night, they called be back 1st thing this morning. ____________________________________________________________________ Check out the link below. http://www.cincinnatibeacon.com/index.php/contents/comments/cincinnati_health_care_forum_draws_big_crowd_mixed_emotions/

Celeste Thomas high on weed when she was Tased?

Hey I didn't say it. I heard a caller on black radio state that he believes that it's possible that Ms. Thomas was high on weed. And also that Officer Tase-her was high on weed. Anyway, I dont' know what it is about Sundays (maybe listening to the Nathan Ive radio show) that my brain waves go into overdrive. I become sad and frustrated about so many things in the just-us system. Heeeeeeeeey, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." MLK-- Joe Deters is the injustice in this town. He hasn't said a word about prosecuting Officer Tase-her. His silence sends a message to the black community that we don't matter. We matter. I'm really angry at Councilmember Thomas. He's a likable guy, a decent politician. I hate to write bad things about people. Especially men of color, because they get enough flack in this world. But I don't think Cecil has a pair. I don't. Hey Cecil, call Joe and take care of that whydon't ya?!


Please note the date of this post.  It was written a long time ago.  People change. People evolve.  I have.  Cecil has.  He's  great asset to the community.
