Make her stop……please!!!!

Tribal members are experts at pointing out the ” do nothing” staffers and directors at the Tribal Council. Now, to be fair, most of the employees do their work. We know them too. But the queen of “complicating the simplest task” is Ellen Frye Sharp aka TERO officer. Here’s the setup. During Public Comment, the recurring problem of meeting house maintenance popped up, again. Back up a little further and we learned that last week the Chief blasted our boy Magpie, “master slacker” again, for failing to do maintenance. So Council members start asking about progress and pressure washing the meeting house to paint it. Magpie gets into the broken pump that delayed the work.

Ellen seems to have forgotten the agreement she signed never to work for the Tribe again or run for office.

They called on Ellen to explain the hold up with letting contracts, and it was so painful. So, so painful.  Vice Chair Carlton Hendricks, Jr. talked about the continued delay and the wasted time. The Chief said TERO  “should not be the hold up.” Councilman Mingo Teixeira said pressure washing businesses use 500-gallon water wagons, not needing the pump. Councilman Nelson Andrews was so frustrated he volunteered to the job himself. So most of public comment was spent telling Ellen how to do a job she’s incapable of doing.

The complaints about her delaying projects with her obsession for the irrelevant compliance issues is well known.  She spends most of her time trying to get more of her family members hired instead of negotiating contracts. And that’s not going well at all. And to think she’s over the $9 million broadband project. No budget, no hope of a budget. Hiding God knows what.

Native Vote 2024. Just hours after President Biden ended his bid for reelection and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, she has secured enough delegates to become the Democratic presidential nominee.

“When I announced my campaign for President, I said I intended to go out and earn this nomination,” Harris said. “Tonight, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party’s nominee.”

According to party rules, a candidate needs the support of more than 1,976 delegates to earn the nomination. Harris received unanimous support from California, her home state.

“As a daughter of California, I am proud that my home state’s delegation helped put our campaign over the top,” Harris said.

Harris previously served as California’s Attorney General from 2011 to 2017, and as U.S. Senator from 2017 to 2021. Pundits named several former state attorneys general, now governors of key swing states, as potential running mate choices.

Harris traveled to the Harris for President campaign headquarters, formerly Biden-Harris campaign headquarters, in Wilmington, Delaware to meet with her team. Their goal remains the same: defeat Donald Trump.

“This election will present a clear choice between two different visions. Donald Trump wants to take our country back to a time before many of us had full freedoms and equal rights,” Harris said. “I believe in a future that strengthens our democracy, protects reproductive freedom and ensures every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but to get ahead.”

Earlier in the day, Rep. Sharice Davids (D-KS), a tribal citizen of the Ho-Chunk Nation, endorsed Harris for president in a social media statement.

She wrote: “The choice in this presidential election is clear. Kamala Harris will fight MAGA extremism, protect our reproductive rights, and defend our democracy. Most importantly, uniting behind her gives us the best chance to prevent another term for Donald Trump.”

The Harris campaign received record-setting contributions, with more than $100 million raissed from Sunday afternoon to Monday evening.

With just 105 days left until Election Day, Harris has a lot of work to do.

“Over the next few months, I will be traveling across the country talking to Americans about everything that is on the line,” Harris said. “I fully intend to unite our party, unite our nation, and defeat Donald Trump in November.”

Down on the farm

The sources keep giving us new details about the raucous episode at the Tribal farm on July 6.

First, at the Cape Codder party, an inebriated Child King (aka Brian Weeden), was the one who invited the crowd to the farm, and even gave party goers the address. The DJ actually tried to discourage the crowed from going.

What’s the use in having the Tribal Police when the chairman breaks the law and get’s away with it? The only thing guaranteed by CK is very bad behavior done with impunity.

More troubling was the fact that one of the Tribal police used his truck, to block the farm entrance gate. Blue lights on, the officer told the crowd they couldn’t come on to Tribal land. CK told him to get out of the way, signaling for people to come through.

The rest went downhill according to witnesses. Pallets were set on fire and people were driving on the Willowbend golf course. The partying went on despite the fire department being called. At 5 am, the poor Willowbend employees couldn’t get to work because the road was blocked.

So where’s the incident report Kevin?

Once again CK is trying to dodge the bullet, run out the clock and avoid any kind of acknowledgement of his atrocious behavior. Everyone knows how awful he is and he’s getting worse.

Even Tarn-x can’t clean us up.

 

 

 

“They Not Like Us” party (updated)

My Dear Drumbeaters,

The sad legacy of our Child King continues to devolve into an abject legacy of depravity.  The

humiliation of the Tribe is of no concern to him and that was on full display Pow Wow weekend. He was unphased by a Tribal child injury and a stabbing. Partying at the They Not like Us party was where he was in his grind mode, never wanting it to end.  They were jammin’ hard at the Cape Codder in Hyannis. CK ended up  inviting hundreds of revelers to his after party at the Tribal farm.

Yes, my dears he did ….and they came drinking and d—- on tribal land. Nearly 200 people showed up. Witnesses say his sister Sassamin was driving through the crowd with a man hanging off the car. When Tribal police arrived to break it up, CK was very busy sneering and repeatedly giving

It’s not like Tribal members feel sorry for Kevin when he gets fat checks from the Tribe and the town. But when the so-called chairman breaks the law and tells you to f*** off —that’s bodacious.

Police Chief Kevin Frye the finger, while nontribal members shouted at Frye to “get the f*** outta here!” Is that how a Tribal chairman behaves? And who invites people to tribal land to break the law? We are very lucky someone wasn’t hurt.

Why do we allow CK’s degenerate behavior to continue?  It’s like we’re forced to bathe in it weekly. His immaturity, destructiveness, administrative and leadership failures are astounding.  And yet he is still at the helm aching for the next opportunity to show us his natural a– .(Winking now)

Council attempted to discuss what they heard about the episode, but CK ran out the clock, with the help of Lovely Winnona. So now that they know more, it would be interesting to see what kind of police report Kevin filed.

An investigation would be in order. if it were anyone else, there would be serious consequences.  But you forget, The Child King is above the law.

Constant violations of tribal law brought the lawsuit against him and the 5 Council members who restored TBL to the council. All told in tomorrow’s installment of Reel Wamps.

Until then let’s stay in touch.
