As everyone recalls, the entire country got “greedy” right around January of 2021 and the prices of everything skyrocketed. Rent, car insurance, gold, peanut oil, and groceries all blasted higher not because Biden printed trillions out of thin air, according to them. But it was the “greedy” corporations (and landlords, mom and pop stores, farmers, etc) who were to blame!!
Now that Trump has been elected, apparently the “greedy” landlords know better than to fuck around!
Even here in Lampasas there are a lot of rentals popping up suddenly! Look, there’s even one for 12% LESS than the $850 price it “should” go for according to Comrade Clayton! It’s not an apartment either, but an entire place! Think of all the idealistic young communist college boys you could lure back there, Comrade! No mom to interrupt you…
Look at that!! They even want a rancher! I’m sure a fake rancher like yourself will also suffice. You only have to sell about two goats per week to pay for it. Should be easy for a fifth-generation fake rancher like yourself, no?
Dipshidiot lefties and socialists are supposedly leaving Twitter in droves. They are angry that Elon supported Trump and they also see the site as filled with “misinformation.” So they are all swarming to Bluesky -including local socialist lickspittle Clayton Tucker….
It’s hard to see how Bluesky represents anything other than a sweaty bubble of cope.
It didn’t take very long for the new arrivals to saturate the platform with censorship demands, post flagging and general complaints about other users. Bluesky gave notice recently that in only 24 hours the site was inundated with over 42,000 reports and the censorship requests have expanded to over 3000 flags per hour.
Bluesky was built on an “invite only” system up until February of this year. The rush of woke actors, journalists and activists to the platform after the election has certainly garnered a lot of media attention for the site. Progressive celebrities and pundits such as actress Jamie Lee Curtis, “journalist” Don Lemon, “journalist” Joy Reid, writer Stephen King and The Guardian’s official news account, have all decided to switch to Bluesky.
Don Lemon accused X of no longer serving the purposes of “transparency and honest debate,” a hilarious notion when one considers the incredible level of censorship enacted under the old regime. What leftists are actually angry about is the fact that conservatives are suddenly free to contradict progressive claims without fear of account bans, the doxing of their homes and workplaces, and cancel culture in general.
Leftists enjoyed a double standard at Twitter that worked aggressively in their favor. Even if their arguments were devoid of facts and evidence, the Terms of Service system Twitter put in place was specifically hostile to conservative ideals. Progressive members knew this and exploited it often to silence dissent. The only thing that might save an account was its size, with the biggest right-leaning users sometimes getting a pass.
The exodus merely confirms what most people already knew: the left is afraid of fair discourse on an even playing field. They refuse open debate unless the game is rigged in their favor. So far the general response from the majority of X users is “Good riddance to bad rubbish!” It’s unlikely that this view will change.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) incurred a significant increase in its losses this fiscal year, as revenues jumped but volumes dipped.
Net loss for 2024 fiscal totaled $9.5 billion, up from $6.5 billion (up 46%) last year, said a Nov. 14 statement from the agency reflecting its earnings. The $3 billion increase in losses occurred at the same time the agency had a slight revenue increase from $78.18 billion to $79.53 billion. The revenue uptick was not supported by an increase in mail volume, which fell from 116 billion units to 112 billion units.
The $9.5 billion loss is more than $3 billion above projections.
When USPS last raised the price of stamps in July, it justified the decision by saying the hike was financially necessary for the agency, as per the DFA plan.
“USPS prices remain among the most affordable in the world,” it said.
Earlier in May, the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) said the postal agency’s July price increase was in line with regulations and that there was no legal reason to reject the hikes. PRC is an independent agency tasked with regulatory oversight of USPS.
A group of senators criticized USPS in a letter in April for the “unsustainable” price hikes. After the agency began raising postage rates, “we began to see the disastrous effects in 2023,” they wrote, pointing to a decline of 11 billion pieces of mail volume that year and the $6.5 billion loss.
“Instead of connecting the two issues, USPS blamed inflation, despite mail prices nearly doubling inflation in that time period.”
“Since August 2021, there have been six unprecedented postage hikes—one every six months, well above inflation—that have hurt businesses, newspapers, nonprofit mailers, and individual Americans,” LaTurner noted.
Now that we have DOGE and the will of the people behind us, it seems like a PERFECT time to start gutting these bloated and useless agencies: Amtrak, NPR, National Endowment for the Arts, and the biggest of all: get rid of the postal monopoly and let competition bring down prices and improve service.
As dozens of adults got serious about fixing the water mess left to us by the many horrible past decisions of former Mayors Talbert and Monroe, California-born, former Austinite potato head Stephanie Fitzharris felt the need to stand up and waste everyone’s time by lying about cyberbullying:
[I kind of wish I could have seen that. Everyone discussing serious shit and this moron stands up and starts babbling about a blog she doesn’t like. I bet a few people were snickering at her.]
Threats at your home?!? My goodness! When? From whom? What kinds of threats?!? It certainly wasn’t me, so you must have ANOTHER hater out there, huh? Did you report these “threats” to the police? Or are these more like Jussie Smollett threats that didn’t really happen but are made up by you to play victim and get attention?
I’m guessing the latter.
Also, you must think everyone is as stupid as you are. Anyone can easily Google “Lampasas” and see that this blog does NOT come up. So that’s two lies in the span of about five sentences.
Now, if you go to a search engine that can’t be monkeyed with the way Google can (like Swiss Cows) and type in “Stephanie Fitzharris,” then this blog most definitely DOES come up! The first two results, actually. Which is sweet!
I view these Lampasshole alerts of twats in your area in much the same way I view a “sexual offender” registry you can search for your own neighborhood.
Allow me to explain:
Even though sex offenders have “served their time,” they are placed on a searchable registry so you can see if any of these scumbags live in your neighborhood. This is because sex offenders have a VERY high recidivism rate. In deference to dummies like Fitzharris, that means they are very likely to get up to bad things again. They are very often repeat offenders.
I view Covid rats and authoritarians the exact same way. If and when the Feds ever pull shit like that again (and they will, eventually), weasels like Fitzharris, Haywood, Landrum, Tucker and the rest will snitch on you faster than a rabbit gets fucked. That is a fact. Just a few years ago, they were ready to put the non-maskers and “vax deniers” into camps, deny them hospital care, and not let them leave their state.
When the wall between East Germany and West Germany fell, they eventually unsealed all of the records of the Stasi. For dummies like Fitzharris who don’t know what the Stasi is, it was the “secret police” made up of scumbags who would be today’s Covid rats.
There was a museum opened eventually on all of the spying and tips and snitching. Guess what? It was “friends and family” and neighbors and even spouses who ratted them out. The Stephanie Fitzharrises of the world. People were SHOCKED at who the bad guys were. Like maybe the sweet the little old lady next door. Or the fat moron in your garden club, perhaps.
Unlike the poor East Germans, WE got a dry run on unmasking snitches with Covid. Covid laid bare who the scumbags were who couldn’t be trusted. Fitzharris sits smack in the middle of that group.
I don’t give a shit how many tea parties she throws. She is never EVER to be trusted. She should be shunned, ostracized and mocked. Which is what I will continue to do – as is my First Amendment right.
Nothing more horrible than “cyberbullying.” I mean, just look what this mean old lady did to her poor father on Facebook. He was (rightfully) taking a shit on wokeism and CRT with one of his friends on Facebook, just minding his own business when..BAM!!… Potato Head Stephanie Fitzharris barged right into his personal cyberspace and bullied him!! Outrageous!!
Poor Carl was sitting there minding his own business on HIS OWN social media page when Potato Head lumbers in like a dim-witted bull in a China shop. She basically called him a stupid, gullible old man who was easily manipulated. Then she called him cruel and mind-numbingly idiotic. Then she called him “consumed by evil.” Her own father!
For shame.
Poor Carl, who should have smothered his moron daughter in the crib 57 years ago, felt so bullied and abused by this horrible, mean Potato Head he had to ask HIS OWN DAUGHTER to please leave him alone and butt out of a private conversation he was having with another gentleman. Poor guy probably feared for his life. It’s a very sad situation when your daughter is a deranged lunatic suffering from biblical TDS. I’d disown her, myself.
It seems Potato Head has a serious misunderstanding of “cyberbullying.” You see, she loves to loudly dish out her opinions and take shits on others, but she does not like it dished back out her way.
Here’s the most hilarious part:she moved here last year knowing FULL WELL that I already lived here!
She’s been on my radar since May of 2020 when she kept popping up in Lampasas County Breaking News to spew authoritarian Covid mask and vax bullshit – even though she LIVED IN AUSTIN at the time. In other words, she came looking for trouble.
I have been highlighting her bullshit for YEARS and she knew good and well that I was doing it and that I lived in Lampasas – I’ve made it pretty clear from Day One where I live. It’s in the name of this blog, for Christ’s sake! It didn’t bother her then because she lived in Austin surrounded by other shitlibs like Carol Garner Doughty. She felt strength from her tribe and the fact that the MSM was also vilifying the anti-mask and anti-vax crowd, so she piled on.
Then, she was apparently SO cyberbullied and scared of me that she decided to move to MY TOWN!
Of course, she pulled the exact same shit when she lived in Lake Travis: a loud obnoxious shitlib who spouted her opinions with a megaphone but then when people came back at her, she played the victim. This is in the shitlib playbook.
Funny – she’s the victim everywhere she goes! What are the odds? Maybe it’s YOU who is the problem, dummy.
So to recap:
I moved to Lampasas in 2011.
I started this blog in July 2018because of my anger at money wasting by City council. I pretty much stuck to local City council stuff until 2020 when the evil triad of Covid bullshit, BLM and a stolen election drew my ire.
Potato Head decided to leave Austin in the summer of 2023 – probably because of the high taxes and crime that morons like her voted for over the last 20 years. She decides to move to Lampasas! The very town where her supposed “bully” lives. AGAIN, she sticks her beak in and comes asking for it.
Now at the end of 2024she is whining that I’m “ruining her reputation.” No dummy, you did that to yourself a thousand times over. There were 500 other places you could have moved to, but you came to where I ALREADY lived and now have the gall to say that I’m the one with a problem? I think you secretly love me, actually.
Fuck off, lady.
I think I’ll be writing more on this very soon. Potato Head, you might want to look up “Streisand Effect” in the meantime. Maybe re-think all your public crying.
P.S. This blog is NOT the first thing you see when you Google “Lampasas,” which is what you cried to City council to get them to come after me. Yet another fabrication and exaggeration from your mouth.
Everyone in the NFL and UFC is doing the Trump dance when they dominate their opponents. Hot chicks winning beauty pageants. Hell, we might even get Hollywood making great movies again instead of feeding us non-stop woke shit!
A new day dawning in America…

Of course, the 80s still dominate….
Christie Brinkley #1 forever

This hung in my bedroom from 1983 until I went to college….
We’ll get back to those great times. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
In honor of the 80s, I jammed the entire RATT: Out of the Cellar album during my morning workout today. No better 80s song than Wanted Man.
Fun trivia fact: I partied with RATT backstage back around 1997 at The Vic Theater in Chicago on Belmont Street. One of the brokers in my trading pit in Chicago in the 1990s was a guy named Jimmy DeMartini (his badge was DMAR). He was an older hippie type with long hair and a crazy hippie wife, but totally cool guy. Never understood how the hell he ended up in the trading pits. Looking back, he was probably stoned much of the time.
Anyways, his brother just happened to be Warren DeMartini, guitar player and backing vocals for RATT. I still remember that as the loudest fucking concert I ever attended before or since. At the end of the show, we went backstage and got hammered and otherwise altered with RATT. I do believe we were out past 2am in Wrigleyville doing shots and bumps the entire way.
(countable, uncountable) Actions caused by humans which lead to the death of non-human animals
Can’t stop, won’t stop. He’s just burning through the baby goats like hot piss through snow.
After the death of the unfortunately-named dwarf goat Splenda, Comrade Clayton admitted he lost ANOTHER baby goat. Not only that, ANOTHER baby is “real real sick” so he “ordered some medicine”….
Wait…what?? You ORDERED medicine?!? You lazy fuck! When my animals are sick, I drive the 20 minutes each way to Tractor Supply in a panic and get what I need TODAY! Or go see Tina at Hoffpauir Ranch Supple. Or, more likely, I ALREADY have it at my house in case of emergency. And I’m not even a fake 5th-generation rancher!
[Tractor Supply is literally walking distance from Comrade Clayton’s mom’s house where he resides in the upstairs bedroom, btw]
Perhaps if you spent more time on grandpa’s ‘ranch’ and less time in DALLAS spinning your wheels with commie morons like Kristi Lara and that muzzie on the right whose accent is so thick you can’t even understand him, your goats wouldn’t be dropping like flies!
Yes, just the group you want to “defend the schools”: a couple of childless communists, a foreign-born muzzie, a guy who is pushing 80 years old, a gay-looking Asian dude, and a shrunken gnome who is definitely over 100 years old. What a dream team!!!
Christ man. Seriously, you have no clue what you are doing. This is the ritual torture/murder of cute little goats. There has to be a better way to take out your sexual and political frustrations than this.
Hopefully kraut-for-brains Seefeldt reads this and understands why America is the greatest country on earth and Germany is about to become another Greece, filled with muzzies and other third-world illiterates. Seefeldt should just shut her mouth with the Trump bashing, and also personally thank an American every single day she walks out the door for allowing her to live here.
This entire thread was written by a German who gets it – it’s quite long but full of many truths that oblivious left-wing Germans like Seefeldt won’t want to hear:
I’m German.
16 years ago, the EU and US economies were neck and neck.
Today, the US economy is 50% larger than the entire EU combined.
Here’s the devastating truth behind Europe’s ongoing economic suicide:
First, let’s look at the numbers:
• US GDP: $25.5 trillion • EU GDP: $16.6 trillion
But in 2008, they were nearly equal.
What the hell happened over the past 16 years?
It’s simple:
Europe chose security over growth. America chose innovation over regulation.
The results?
America has produced 9 trillion-dollar companies (9/10 of the most valuable companies in the world).
Europe? ZERO. Nowhere to be found:
But it goes deeper than numbers…
European talent is fleeing en masse.
I see most European entrepreneurs choosing between two paths:
• The US for higher salaries ($350k+ tech jobs) • Southeast Asia for lower cost of living to build startups
Why?
Because Europe made it impossible to win at home.
Take Berlin’s startup scene (where I used to live):
Founders are often viewed with suspicion. “Entrepreneur” = exploiter
I witnessed tech founders being called “capitalist parasites” at local meetups [gee, sounds like Comrade Clayton bitching about Bezos!!]
Meanwhile in places like Silicon Valley and NYC:
Founders are celebrated. Risk-taking is rewarded. Failure is seen as education, not embarrassment.
To make matters even worse…
Europeans are drowning in red tape:
• Employment laws making hiring/firing impossible • Tax rates crushing small businesses • Compliance costs killing innovation
To start a company in France takes 84 days In America? 4 days.
Commies like Clayton Tucker should move to Europe. See how they likes 69% tax rates. Douchebags.
Even French president Emmanuel Macron admits it.
When comparing Europe to the American and Chinese markets, he said:
The anti-innovation mindset is killing Europe.
For example, when Elon Musk built Giga Berlin, Germans protested:
“No techno-colonialism”
Tesla almost cancelled the project due to regulatory hurdles and community opposition.
Europe’s regulatory culture created an economic spiral of doom:
• Talent leaves • Companies avoid investing • Innovation dies • Economy stagnates • More regulation follows
This is why memes like “Europoors” exist.
The numbers are brutal:
• 90% of EU tech talent would move to US for right offer • European tech salaries: 50% lower than US • Startup funding: 5x higher in US
And Europe’s few tech successes?
Most of them move to America:
• Spotify (now NYC-based) • Klarna (major US operations) • ARM (being acquired by NVIDIA)
The theme here is obvious:
While Europe debates the ethics of AI… America builds it.
While Europe regulates cryptocurrencies… America innovates them.
While Europe protects old industries… America creates new ones.
The solution? In my eyes, Europe must:
1. Slash regulations 2. Embrace risk-taking 3. Support entrepreneurs 4. Lower taxes on innovation
But will they?
As a European, I unfortunately doubt it.
The regulation addiction is too deep. The anti-business culture too ingrained.
As one French friend/entrepreneur told me:
“I love Europe, but I can’t build my future here. The system won’t let me.”
This is why America keeps winning.
But because their system benefits those who build.
Europe has become a museum:
• Great at preserving the past • Terrible at building the future
Unless Europe slashes regulations and embraces risk-taking, the gap will only widen.
As a German, this pains me deeply. I love Europe…
The rich culture and history. The incredible cuisine. The best techno scene on Earth.
The fact a 2-hour flight takes you to new worlds with new language, new culture, new country.
I’m rooted here.
But beneath this beautiful diversity lies a common problem:
Every European country shares the same anti-entrepreneurship mindset.
It doesn’t matter if you’re in Berlin, Paris, or Stockholm…
The system is designed to hold builders back.
This is forcing a generation of Europeans to make an impossible choice:
Stay in a culture we love but can’t build in?
Or leave everything behind to chase opportunity?
The question isn’t if Europe will fall behind. It already has.
It’s on its way to irrelevancy. And its a reason why I’m currently looking to move out of the continent.
The real question is….
Will they change course before its too late?
[Lampasshole answer: no, they will not. ]
P.S. – Oh yeah, Germans are also free-speech-hating Nazis:

As an old fart who has been through back surgery, hair loss, eyesight loss, hearing loss, rotator cuff injuries and all sorts of other old-man-related reality, I should have known that Iron Mike was a bull being put out to pasture in a gimmick fight. I wanted to believe he had a couple massive punches left in him.
I wanted to believe that “old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance” as Memet once said.
Apparently that’s only true when you bet against that fucker Tom Brady at age 44.
