Send All Donations To The DCN News Blog Online TV Through PayPal And Other

I do what I do out of pocket attending meetings videoing and taking photos making them public for folk who do not attend for whatever reason. It takes funds to do what I do.

I video a variety of things from meetings, banquets, sporting events, funerals and other. I post my videos on YouTube where you can access them at anytime that is convenient for you.

I also take photos and post them on my Facebook page and make them available for others to see. If someone do not have a Facebook page they can still view the photos.

It takes funds to to travel places and then it takes funds for equipment.

You have 3 options that you can send donations, Cash App, PayPal or send via USPS.

I have a Cash App  and a PayPal account that you can send money from your phone.

Also you can send donations to: Curmilus Dancy II P.O. Box 1391 Pinetops, NC 27864.

Thanking you in advance.

Republican launches new bid for state House – Rocky Mount Telegram

Well we can put the rumors to rest but Johnny Cunningham told me that Check was going to run against Rev. James David Gailliard again. Andre Knight called him out on how he ran his campaign the last time and Check said he didn’t have anything to do with the commercials and the information put out their on Gailliard that it was a group out of Raleigh.

Check message was nasty when he got mad when Tj Walker forgot about his appointment for his show when he was campaigning. 

And The WSBS Movement continues. This dude is on WHIG-TV every week talking about Black Leadership. But what gets me is when Black folk go on the show and not check his ass.

Well here we go now I am going to see how the campaigning go now since there was a sense of Silence during the local Rocky Mount Election from certain Black Leadership.

What in the hell are values of the district?

“Check said in his statement that he believes that the residents of the district deserve a representative who reflects the values of the district.”

Republican launches new bid for state House – Rocky Mount Telegram

“After much prayer and numerous conversations with local leaders and supporters, I am announcing that I will run for N.C. House District 25. After receiving nearly 14,000 votes in the last election, I will continue a grassroots effort to bring the seat back to the citizens of District 25,” Check said in a statement.

Check ran for the District 25 seat in the 2018 election, when former representative Jeff Collins, a Republican, declined to run. Democrat James Gailliard won that election with 51.5 percent of the vote, while Check took roughly 45 percent and Libertarian candidate Nicholas Taylor captured the rest. (Read more)

Our View: Social media no substitute for journalism – Rocky Mount Telegram

Ab so damn lute ly!

I research information and make contact before posting information.

I check multiple sources many times before posting.

I call out pages that post half trues.

I look at where the social media sites show where they got their info. from showing a link.

When it is crime or other, I share the link from where I got the info however if I post something trust me I have done my homework.

When Fighting Crime and other social media sites post crime related info. I check the Law Enforcement Social Media sites to see if they have posted, if not I don’t share it. I will sometimes contact Law Enforcement to see it it is true. They will tell me yes or no and that they are going to do a Press Release. I wait for that so I can validate my post.

So many times folk want to be the first to report something but end up looking ignant because the reporting may be false or they have half trues.

Folk tell me they wait on my post and some time folk call me. If I have not heard about it, I research it and report back.

Reporting the right info. makes all the difference. If I should error, I will quickly make the necessary corrections.

I have called out some folk such as Fighting Crime and they had to go back and make corrections. Fighting Crime take it personal but hell I am just making sure the right info. is shared.

One good thing about The DCN News Blog is I video all the meetings I attend and make them available on YouTube. I post my spin but give folk the opportunity to watch the video and prove me wrong or they can watch my videos and give their spin. My videos don’t lie.

Folk hold folk like myself who post info. on Social Media accountable when we report the news.

Thank you!

Our View: Social media no substitute for journalism – Rocky Mount Telegram

Have the internet and social media replaced the need for local newspapers?

The answer is no.

The internet has opened up access to a whole world of information and is a valuable tool for communication of information, ideas and opinions. It is hard to imagine going back to a world where answers have to come primarily from the printed word.

Social media allows us all to connect with one another in ways that were unimaginable a generation ago. We can share pictures, information and opinions at amazing speeds, and that information — whether true or false — is out there, almost immediately, for all to see. (Read more)

When campaigning for mayor, Carlton Stevens pushed for name recognition. More than that, though, the 45-year-old businessman worked to convey his vision for “One Wilson.”

“When I talked to people, I wanted them to understand my heart, my vision and my desires for growth of the city, and the method I want it to grow transcends political affiliation, socioeconomic status or race,” Stevens said Wednesday. “I needed them to see my heart and what I thought our city could do. That was my campaign strategy.” (Read more)

Mayor-elect begins work on transition – Rocky Mount Telegram

The Political Agitator’s response: A transition director. Wow! This is interesting and confirmation of what this election was all about. If you don’t know I am going to let you go figure. This is about as ignant as it gets but just my opinion. However they have 4 years to prove me wrong. I am going to continue to attend the meetings to see what this mayor does that will be different than what the previous mayors have done. But I am waiting to see what titles Pastor Thomas Ray Green Pittman Grove Church, Pastor of Abundant Life, Samuel Battle, Tarrick Pittman, James Silvers, Mae Parker, Mary Spaulding Ward, Rita Mozzell Carter, Democrats that played a major role in supporting the Republican and others will receive. I ain’t mad with nobody. Matter of fact if they like it, I love it. During election time I look at what role folk play so I can know where folk stand on the side of justice. Continue on.

One day after the election, Mayor-elect Sandy Roberson has named former mayoral candidate Kevin Jones as his transition director.

In this role, Jones will assist Roberson during the next 30 days in putting together a new leadership team prior to the official swearing-in ceremony in December, according to a statement released Wednesday by Roberson.

“Mr. Jones ran a very compelling campaign for mayor and has agreed to assist me in pulling together a citizen-led team to address pressing issues facing our city,” Roberson said. “I want Kevin to help me put together the framework for several advisory committees and task forces that will be advising the mayor and City Council on major issues like improving our public schools, putting more police officers on patrol and bringing new economic development to our region.” (Read more)
