Kwame is the Mayor of Detroit (sigh!!) now someone please explain to me why he has so much out of state business to run our City and what it is. If they find out he was not on ONLY BUSINESS then he should also be violated,he acts like he is still in charge and need to be put in his place. He’s playing the Judges, can’t they see that? He will just continue to push the limit of tolerance until someone kicks his behind. LET ME LET ME!!!!, i'D BEwillingto stand in line :)

 

Kathy,

I  believe if I had my way my size 8 foot would stand in that line to kick his a$$ from here to Toledo. If the line forms, it would probably start at the door to his office and run straight down to Florida. (We'd be standing in line for a loooooong time. But it would be worth it.)

He didn't have any city business in Texas. It was Kwame's personal business he was trying to take care of. I hope the judge goes off on him like he did to CB on Friday and that he also get's ordered to wear a tether.

Glad to hear TD Jakes is staying out of this mess, but...

 

I'm really disappointed with Wilson's report, I know it isn't Steve's fault that there was no info given about the charges that was the point, it's been blacked out, but then why wasn't city council approached for comment, or whoever the city auditor is? 

I'm sorry, it just seemed flat.  Like something to keep the controversy alive.  I dunno, I didn't really garner anything from it, other than it's the same person who writes "EPU" on each bill and with what looks like the same pen (width wise, I mean).

I wasn't disappointed. I think it was incredibly damning the way the invoices were blacked out and scribbled on. It truly shows that kk can't figure out that he isn't the City, and entitled to free use of its credit card for his personal use.

I hope Judge Lockhart figures out kk's Texas trip wasn't for business either. That would be a bond violation. That's probably that's why he took his PR spinner - to make it look like buiness.

Lastly, I am relieved TD Jakes is not supporting his unrepenting, sinful ass.

I just realized the news is over. Was there anything on his MAJ- ASS_ TEE‘s- trip to Texas, I was listening but missed it. There was a promo something would be on and the TV is 5 feet away from me, and I heard nothing! ANYONE.

Not really, Steve just read a statement from the church that basically said the mayor asked them if he could come and have a meeting with Jakes, they are not getting involved in the mayor's "mess," and anyone is welcome to come and worship with them at any time.

Here's a transcript I just wrote regarding the Dallas trip while watching Steve's report in the video player and pausing it so I'd get it correct:

"Jakes agreed to the meeting the mayor requested, but then issued a statement that says neither he nor his church have any plans now or in the future of becoming involved in the mayor's mess.  Kilpatrick attended services down there this morning and the church, almost apologetically explained quoting here again now, 'We're open for worship to all people, regardless of their circumstances.' "

LA Keen:

Thank goodness, NO Support from out of state Pastor TD Jakes!!!

Kwame, you made your bed, now lye on it. (On a prison cot preferably!!!) I hope that's the bed you'll be in for many years to come.

How arrogant of him to think he was going to go to Texas and get support from someone out of state. So what if he did. It doesn't mean nothing to Detroiters. He didn't ruin the largest city in Texas, but he sure does continue to damage the City of Detroit.

More misuse of his city credit card!!! Unfreakingbelieveable!!! He just doesn't get it.

Thank you Steve for your excellent reporting the most recent reports of KK's spending on the taxpayers dime.

Unfortunately, it's not going to stop until he is ousted from office. Let's all keep up the good work in making sure that he is pushed off the pedestal he's put himself on, and that he loses his job as mayor.

How do we know that he got no support in Texas? I didn't read that anywhere...

I don't think that Kwame was limited to only leave the state for BIDNESS. I think he was allowed to leave with notification. Not that I think it is fair. But I am trying to remember from the arriagnment. I don't remember than magistrate saying that he would only LEAVE for City BIDNESS. I am sure that was this Magistrates intention (especially after seeing the magistrate go off on CB) so I am waiting for him to let it loose on KK and CB due to the appeal.

Sounds Great , whats that saying about when something starts to roll down hill it gathers steam, might be SH--!. I think people are starting to wise up and realize that being involved with Kwame is not a good idea. MOre and more people are not kissing his ass and I think he knows it, some of him smugness is gone. Are the barriers still up around his house? I feel sorry for his neighbors. .

I just saw the report and although the Documents expendatures were redacted, Is there anyway that an investigator could could back track? They could go to all the Hotels and car rental places to get the financial imformation that they need. I am sure that they have all that on the computer data-base.  I  wish they would do that. It would only comfirm what we already know... KWAME IS A BIG FAT LIAR...Kwame will not ever resign willingly, They are going to have to physically drag him out of office.   He need's the taxpayer money to pay for all his fancy lawyers. If he were to resign there would be no way for him to pay his legal bills, nor would he be granted special privleges. This man is in a desparate bid to keep his seat on the gravy train.   So until then we will just have to sit back and let the games begin!

Mayor jets to Texas church

Kilpatrick goes to Dallas service Sunday; Detroit minister criticizes treatment of Beatty

Santiago Esparza / The Detroit News

Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick attended an 8 a.m. service Sunday at the Potter's House of Dallas, where the Bishop T.D. Jakes is senior pastor.

In a statement, the church said it will not get involved in the mayoral scandal stemming from test messages exchanged between Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty.

"The Potter's House of Dallas nor its senior pastor, Bishop T.D. Jakes, has no current or future plans of becoming involved in the legal or business affairs existing between the city of Detroit and its mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick," the statement said. "Our church is a religious institution that has provided service to our community and our nation, and as such, we are open for worship to all people regardless of their circumstances."

Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty, are awaiting trial after Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy on March 24 served them with several charges, including perjury. They testified they did not have a romantic relationship during a whistle-blower trial. But published text messages appeared to contradict that testimony.

Beatty, meanwhile, is barred from leaving the state and must wear an electronic tether.

Her scolding by 36th District Court Chief Magistrate Steve Lockhart on Friday drew a critical response from Detroit's Rev. Horace L. Sheffield III, who called Lockhart's treatment of Beatty belittling and "a blow to justice."

"Rapists and murderers appear to receive more respect and to get better treatment than Ms. Beatty was accorded by Lockhart's hastily called court hearing on Friday," Sheffield said in a statement Sunday.

"It makes you wonder how many people accused of serious and violent felonies in Wayne County are ordered to wear tethers while on bond. Murderers have been allowed more mobility than Ms. Beatty."

Referring to Lockhart's remarks about Beatty looking for employment when she faces a 15-year felony charge, Sheffield said Lockhart's "smug belittlement of her marketability" "crossed way over the line to say that a potential employer would be crazy to offer a person who is facing these charges employment."

Who the heck is Sheffield to be critizing anyone? He's the disgrace to God.

Well, I guess he was under the impression that all black ministers were stupid and easily duped like the Detroit ministers.

Ya notice the KK supporters are dropping like flies?

Go here to see four Pastors from yesterday's "Flash Point":

Two make a LOT of sense (they want him to resign); the other two are Kwame apologists.  And they make no sense whatsoever. 

His defenders just talk a lot, thinking they'll wear us down with their rhetoric. 

The city of Detroit is getting exactly what they asked for.  They re-elected a bum who is a thug, a cheat and a liar.  He only THINKS he is Coleman Young,  at least Coleman stood up for his country, went to war, and earned his place in history.  And Coleman Young is long past.  Time to move on.

Kwame has proven he is not a man but only a gangster.  That should have been evident when the Washington DC police refused him protection because "he went places that would put officers in jeopardy".

What's the line at the casinos as to KK's involvement in the stripper murders?  I'd say its got to be about even, which means no one thinks he wasn't involved.

Detroit - sit up and learn your lesson.  Elect a thug, get a thug for a mayor. Detroit wants to be number one, and now they are, Number 1 worst city in the country.

KWAME !!    SCREW EVERYBODY, YOU CAN'T TOUCH ME, I HAVE MAMA CHEEKS, CHIEF BULLY AND A BUS LOAD OF LAWYERS IN MY CORNER, TO GET TO ME YOU HAVE TO GET THRU THEM AND BY THE TIME THAT HAPPENS I'LL BE RUNNING FOR REELECTION AGAIN....

Sheffield needs to be standing in front of the judge.  He is truly a disgrace!
