– Protesting in favor of waste, fraud, and abuse

– Etching swastikas into each others’ Teslas

– Firebombing Tesla dealerships

– Making pilgrimages to El Salvador to sip margaritas with MS-13 gangbangers

– Manufacturing four failed Signalgate hoaxes

– Attacking Autism research

– Fighting in court to keep foreign terrorists in the country

– Crying about egg prices—despite an 87% drop

– Distributing CCP propaganda videos

City Has Spent Close To $100,000 On “Replacement PCs” Since 2021.

Recently, there was yet another big charge ($18,285 – page 45) for “replacement PCs.” I have been reading the City monthly billing for many years now, and it sure seemed like I saw “replacement PCs” not too long ago. It seems to pop up an awful lot, actually.

So I did a records request. I added it all up – and it was around $95,000.

Here is one of the three documents produced…

As a reminder, the City employs about 120 people, if I’m not mistaken. Not all of them need a computer. Not the guy who mows the lawns at the park or the guys turning wrenches out in the field at the pool or the power lines. Yeah, there’s probably a few at the library for the bums to use. But that still seems very high.

How many desk jockeys are there at City Hall? I’d ask the City secretary but I’d have to wait 10 business days. I’d guess maybe 50. Throw in the golf course and dog pound, and that accounts for a few more computers.

But seriously – a good computer can be had for $400 quite easily. Theoretically LESS when you are making bulk purchases using Finley’s magic “buy board” bullshit, no??

They should last at LEAST 6 years. The one I’m typing on now is six years old and perfectly fine.

(A “Consumer Behavior Survey” published by the Cabinet Office in June 2023 revealed that the average usage period for PCs is 7.7 years, with 56.7% of users replacing their PCs due to “hardware failure.”)

I’ll be conservative and say $500 per computer. So we’re talking nearly 200 computers in the last 4 years! I’m not even including all the expensive “Toughbooks” the cops have to buy – this is just “replacement PCs” as listed on the billing orders.

Seems like an awful lot!

Oh, and right before that, they spent $11,000 in 2019 (22 computers) and ANOTHER $11,000 in 2020 (22 computers).

Are people spilling coffee on these things every year? Are they walking off with them when they retire? Does the bloated IT Department have a “use it or lose it” budget so they keep buying computers when they don’t need them?

All good questions.

Some Info For The Anti-School-Voucher Dummies.

Here are a few articles for the dummies who think the government-run schools don’t need any competition….

The Average Cost of Public School Education Is 58 Percent More Than Private School

Private Schools Excelling as Public Schools Fall, Test Shows

World Bank report claims private schools are better than public schools in Nigeria

You’ll notice that the dummies screaming out against vouchers are either (1) weirdo commie losers like Clayton Tucker who has no kids and doesn’t even pay property taxes or (2) shitty public school teachers who are going to get left in the dust when any competition is introduced. Good teachers have nothing to worry about.

Greentards In Spain Crash Grid. Now Sitting In Dark. I’m Laughing.

How odd: six days After celebrating ‘100% renewable power’, Spain blames “rare atmospheric phenomenon” for largest blackout in their history. LOL.

Six days ago, the media celebrated a significant milestone: Spain’s national grid operated entirely on renewable energy for the first time during a weekday.

At 12:35 pm today local time, the lights went out across Spain and Portugal, and parts of France.

As Michael Shellenberger writes at PUBLIC, this wasn’t just a Spanish blackout. It shook the entire European grid.

…none of this should have been a surprise. The underlying physics had been understood for years, and the specific vulnerabilities had been spelled out repeatedly in technical warnings that policymakers ignored.

…

As countries replaced heavy, spinning plants with lightweight, inverter-based generation, the grid became faster, lighter, and far more sensitive to disruptions. That basic physical reality was spelled out in public warnings as far back as 2017.

…

Although political leaders promised that renewable energy would provide stable, affordable power, in practice, Spain grew more reliant on the remaining nuclear and natural gas plants to sustain inertia — even as the government pushes them to close.

…

Despite all these warnings, political and regulatory energy in Europe remained focused on accelerating renewable deployment, not upgrading the grid’s basic stability. In Spain, solar generation continued to climb rapidly through 2023 and early 2024. 

Coal plants closed. Nuclear units retired. 

On many spring days by 2025, Spain’s midday solar generation exceeded its total afternoon demand, leading to frequent negative electricity prices.

The system was being pushed to the limit.

And today, at 12:35 pm, it broke.

…

Spain’s blackout wasn’t just a technical failure. It was a political and strategic failure.

…

Unless Spain rapidly invests in synthetic inertia, maintains and expands its nuclear fleet, or adds some other new form of heavy rotating generation, the risk of future blackouts will only grow worse.

The small or medium-sized disturbances on the grid become very difficult to manage and can cascade into wider instability and outages when the grid is in a low inertia condition, as was the case Monday in Spain just before the massive ongoing blackout.

Of course, shitheads like Clayton Tucker and Bruce Haywood can’t be bothered to understand the actual physics behind all this. They just yammer retarded phrases like “the wind always blows!” and then “fix the damn grid” when it subsequently breaks. They vote for other retards like Ed Markey, Robert O’Rourke and Sandy Cortez who ALSO are low IQ and don’t understand physics or reality, but who are more than happy to waste trillions on unworkable pinwheel scams.

Severely tarded since 1991.

I hope the greentard Spaniards enjoy the next week without power or the beloved electric trains. I’m sure when the lights are out in all the big cities, the tens of thousands of North African scum they have let pour over their borders will TOTALLY behave themselves and refrain from raping and looting.

Morons.

City Council To Have Secret Meeting About Brodie Estates Tonight. Yeah, The One Who Took $185,000 In Tax Dollars Then Repeatedly Violated Agreement.

Well, THIS is interesting! See item 8.5 in tonight’s packet [page 3]

Could it be that City council is FINALLY going to do something about the absolute and total disregard S2M2 has shown their agreement with the City? I’ve covered this story many, many times. HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE for instance.

City Hands Former Council Member “Greasy” Chris Harrison and Developer S2M2 $185,000 In City Funds For Brodie Estates [October 2020]

The agreement was signed in May of 2020 and S2M2 had 4 years to build 22 houses. Talbert, Monroe and other assorted morons handed Chris Harrison and S2M2 $185,000 – mainly to “make up” for the lots they “lost” to a drainage pond they had to build.

Of course, if they had done their homework BEFORE they bought the property, they’d have known this. But Misti bailed them out of their own fuckup. Did I mention that Misti used to do the books for Greasy Chris Harrison at one point?

No biggie.

Here is the agreement so you can see for yourself.

Here we are FIVE years later and there are only 10 houses built of the 22 required. THREE of those are currently for sale and seem to have no buyers. Which is odd, because all I hear is that Lampasas needs more housing. Yet S2M2 is finding very little demand. Perhaps it’s because the price is very close to retarded, if you ask me:

Ummm, over $200 per square foot? For that location? No thanks. But hey, they reduced the price by 2% a month ago! That’ll get things rolling!

Also, the ENTIRE PREMISE for grabbing $185,000 from the taxpayer in the FIRST place turned out to be bullshit. They convinced Talbert and Monroe that they were “giving up” several possible lots they COULD have built on but instead had to use as a drainage pond. BUT, here we are 5 years later and only 10 houses have been built and THREE of those sit unsold. So actually, that drainage pond didn’t rob you of shit. You STILL haven’t even sold HALF of what you said you would!

In a fair world, the City would demand their $185,000 back. If they can’t pay it, take the fuckers to court and wipe them out. Yet ANOTHER of Misti Talbert’s huge fuckups coming home to roost. Seems like they never end.

Some Karmelo Anthony Facts…

There are insane rumors flying around about the Karmelo Case. Here are a few facts –

Karmelo was on the Centennial track team but did not qualify for the district meet, and skipped school to go to the meet.

Karmelo previously got in trouble at school for fighting & having a knife (not a “cleat sharpener”) on his person.

Karmelo brought a knife to a meet and was going into other schools tents looking for trouble.

According to Texas law, a person may act in self-defense to defend themselves or others if they believe that force is immediately necessary to protect against the threat of lethal force. Using force in self-defense is only considered justified when it is proportional to the perceived threat. This means that Karmelo does NOT HAVE a self-defense case. But they can try.

In Texas, a murder is considered premeditated if the defendant formed the intent to kill after a process of reasoning or deliberation and the act was committed in a cold blood. This likely will be an argument presented in court.

The Anthony family MISLED their supporters regarding what they were donating to on the GiveSendGo. After the family reached over $400,000 in donations, they changed the description of the fundraiser to cover basic expenses, including living costs.

Question: Why aren’t any of the teachers or coaches speaking out regarding what they knew about the Metcalfs and the Anthony family? Is it Memorial High School or Frisco ISD that is silencing them? I think it’s the latter. They will all eventually start talking. Not everyone will sign an NDA.

The Anthony family has also hired a scumbag and thug to be their “spokesman” even though he can barely string a sentence together. Here is part of Dominique Alexander’s rap sheet:

Gullible Moron Can’t Do Simple Math. Spreads More Ridiculous Falsehoods.

As usual, no links to the actual facts anywhere. We just get to take his word for it.

SNAP costs roughly $120 billion per year. There are roughly 165 million tax returns filed per year.

$120,000,000,000 divided by 165,000,000 = $730 per taxpayer. A far cry from $36.

But wait! Not everyone who files a tax return actually PAYS taxes. Tens of millions of Americans owe little or no federal income tax, especially after factoring in the effects of refundable tax credits, such as the child and earned-income credits.

In fact, if you make about $40k or less, you don’t pay shit. I’m guessing Comrade Clayton himself falls into this cohort, which is why he is so bitter and so generous with “tax” money in general.

So the 165 million is misleading. It’s probably lower by 15% to 20%. So it’s more like $850 per tax payer. So Comrade Clayton is only off by a factor of 23x with his bullshit “statistic.” Congratulations Comrade! That is one of the MORE accurate statements you have ever made!

I do agree with the corporate subsidies, however. Wind, solar and electric car subsidies cost the taxpayer about $30 billion every single year. A total waste of money.

Shedeur Sanders Still Sitting At Home.

What a shame.

Every moron on ESPN is screaming racism (even though the #1 pick was black). Nobody wants to mention that Shedeur is a fucking clown and entitled douchebag who couldn’t even bother with open-field tryouts. He relied on the interviews.

Shedeur Sanders during the interviews…..

He’s another Johnny Manziel. A cancer and a sideshow. Who the fuck would want to deal with Meion Sanders calling every Monday morning and bitching about “why you din play my boy, bitch??”

I love it. This is even better than the massive beatdown he took against Oregon.

Deion Sanders taunting someone almost a year ago. Oops.

Two Independent, Peer-Reviewed Studies Show Natural Gas and Nuclear Best For Producing Energy. Wind and Solar DEAD LAST.

[Those of us with a brain and 6th-grade math skills knew this already, but for the Tuckers, Haywoods and Doughtys of the world….]

Policymakers on both sides of the political aisle increasingly advocate for affordable, reliable, and clean energy. This is for good reason –modern society requires energy that is affordable and available on demand.

Environmental concerns are also very important. Together, affordability, reliability, and cleanliness form the three pillars of ideal energy policy.

Two new analyses evaluate competing electrical power sources and produce an affordable, reliable, and clean scorecard. The two analyses – one published by Northwood University and the Mackinac Center, and the other published by The Heartland Institute –independently reach near-identical findings.

Both analyses find natural gas is the most affordable, reliable, and clean electrical power source. Not far behind natural gas are nuclear, hydro, and coal.Lagging at the bottom of the affordability scorecard are wind and solar power.

Natural gas is easily the lowest-cost electrical power source, with coal the second-most affordable. Natural gas also scores very high for reliable high-volume power production, as do nuclear and coal.

Despite some claims that wind and solar are less expensive than conventional power, the opposite is true. 

Wind and solar benefit from far more subsidies than other power sources, which merely shift their high costs to taxpayers rather than directly to customers’ electricity bills. Also, the intermittent and often unpredictable nature of wind and solar power impose substantial costs on the grid, requiring other power sources to frequently ramp up and down – quite inefficiently – to cover for the variability of wind and solar. Finally, wind turbines and solar panels must often be built far from population centers, requiring extensive and expensive networks of transmission wires to deliver power to customers.

[NO SHIT!!!]

Taking all the above factors into account, a peer-reviewed analysis of full-system levelized costs of competing power sources shows wind power is seven times more expensive than natural gas power and solar power is 10 times more expensive. That explains why most of the world – and nearly all the developing world – is building natural gas, coal, and nuclear power plants rather than wind and solar power facilities.

Perhaps the most noteworthy findings of the two independent analyses are the poor environmental performance of wind and solar power.  Wind and solar, like hydro and nuclear, are emissions-free. However, wind and solar score quite poorly regarding many other important environmental factors.  Wind and solar require disrupting and developing far more land and ecosystems than other power sources. Wind and solar generation directly kill far more animals than other power sources, including many protected and endangered species. The mining of toxic and rare earth minerals for wind turbines and solar panels is enormously and uniquely harmful to water and soil health.

Earlier this month, President Trump signed an executive order noting the affordability and abundance of coal and removing obstacles to coal production and utilization. The two new analyses support the Trump administration’s energy policies, which emphasizes increased domestic production of oil, natural gas, and coal. At the same time, the two analyses support similar action to remove obstacles to nuclear power, hydro power, and – especially – natural gas.

Don’t expect the big utilities to necessarily support natural gas and other affordable, reliable, and clean power sources. Utilities typically operate under a government-protected monopoly such that they don’t need to produce affordable power to gain an edge over competitors. Also, governments typically guarantee utilities approximately 10% profit on so-called green power projects and expenditures. As a result, utilities typically lobby for the most expensive power sources to boost their total profit.

For consumers and grid integrity, however, natural gas is the gold standard for affordable, reliable, and clean electricity generation. Nuclear, hydro, and coal are not too far behind.
