Yesterday Was Major Deadline Missed For Industrial Pork “Agreement” – Marking Another Massive Failure of Taxpayer-Sponsored ‘Development’

WAAAAY back in October of 2021, the City and Martin’s Rod & Custom hatched one of the most hare-brained plans the City has ever seen…second only to the Business Pork plan in terms of the level of mental retardation needed to believe it would ever pay off. Or even happen in the first place.

Distilleries! Microbreweries! Food trucks! Maybe a hot tub time machine and blowjobs for a nickel, too! We’ll do it all!

But believe it they did!

I have taken many, many shits on this whole thing starting from the very beginning. I was never worried for a moment about being wrong about this. That’s because I’m old enough to understand that the government ultimately fucks up everything they touch [see also: Brodie estates, Hostess House, Old City Hall remodel, business pork, Azbell contract, student loans, Medicare, Medicaid, wind turbines, electric cars]

I also understood that back in 2020/2021/2022 EVERYONE was super high on the massive, ridiculous LEDC farts that were being generated by Covid stimmy money being thrown around like kid’s candy. Massive sugar rushes like that make people do stupid things and misallocate piles of money – just ask UPS about that.

Anyhoo – me being 100% correct about the City fucking up at great expense again isn’t really news. Today’s news is the Industrial Pork agreement and the major deadline that came and went. Marking another major failure for government-run “development.”

I requested information about this from the City. As usual, there was no response. So I guess we can assume the usual: the City took it in the ass, the original “agreement” was ignored, the property is NOT sold and there will be no distilleries or microbreweries.

Is that about it? I think it is.

Dumb Shit Squad Member Wonders Why Stores Keep Closing In The Ghettos.

Ayanna Pressley is just another typical clueless parasite on the far left. She (like Biden, Chuck Schumer, Clayton Tucker, Maxine Waters, Bernie Sanders, Greg Casar, etc) has literally NEVER worked in the private sector.

These people think goods just appear on the shelves. They think that electricity just appears out of a hole in the wall. They cannot fathom the work that goes into a modern society because they have spent their ENTIRE lives sitting on ass doing absolutely nothing but try to obtain the power to order OTHER (productive) people around.

Here we see just how clueless Ayanna is. She is FLABBERGASTED that Walgreens (and many others) keep closing stores in the “black and brown communities.” Gee. I wonder why? Must be racism. Or maybe “”climate change.”

I would suggest that fuckheads like Ayanna take some of their $173,000 per year salary and open their own stores to “serve” their communities. It would be fun to watch and bet on how many weeks they lasted before bankruptcy.

Ilhan Omar Needs To Be Expelled From Congress and Investigated As An Undeclared Foreign Agent

Somali-born Congresswoman Ilhan Omar accidentally outed herself as an undeclared foreign agent while speaking with her co-ethnics about the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Ethiopia and Somaliland. The English translation can be watched here at the Somaliland Deputy Foreign Minister’s X account. Omar didn’t refute the translation but only its “interpretation” of her warmongering and admitting to being a foreign agent.

 

She began by questioning the ethnic Somali identity of the Somalilanders, which was a curious angle of attack for her of all folks to make given the fact that she’s built her career on condemning nationalists. By the standards of her fellow “Squad” members, she should be “canceled” for that, but ethno-bigoted double standards are par for the course when it comes to those politicians. Moving along after pointing that out, Omar then said that many Somalis want her to talk to officials about the MoU.

She specified that they want to find out what she can do to ensure that the US Government (USG) prevents the MoU from becoming a reality, to which she thundered that “My answer to Somalians was that the US Government will only do what Somalians in the US tell them to do!” That was already provocative enough since it implied that this diaspora controls the regional policy of the world’s most powerful country exactly as she hypocritically lambasted Jews for doing by clear innuendo in the past.

Omar then removed all ambiguity about her role by adding that “They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interests of Somalia…The US is a country where one of your daughters is in Congress to represent your interest. For as long as I am in the US Congress, Somalia will never be in danger, its waters will not be stolen by Ethiopia or others…Sleep in comfort knowing that I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from within the US system.”

Do you believe this bitch?? Weasels her way over here as a “refugee” from a complete shit hole country and is now IN CONGRESS undermining the United States and the Constitution at every turn.

Ilhan Omar hates America. Her constituents hate America. Her admirers hate America. She promised them she would loot America on their behalf if she was elected and she’s keeping her promise. What kind of scumbags admire this third-world moron?

Oh yeah…

She concluded her rant after a tangent by repeating the genocidal mantra that “Somalia is for Somalis only” and claiming that “over 45% of Somalia’s population are not even ethnic Somalis” in an allusion to the false claim she made at the beginning implying that the Somalilanders aren’t ethnic Somalis. There’s more to what she was suggesting than just a repeat of the late 1980s Isaaq genocide that led to Somaliland’s redeclaration of independence in 1991, however, as her final words from the clip prove.

THIS is what happens when you let in millions of third-world scum: they do NOT assimilate. They congregate in areas like some random district in Minnesota where they start electing pieces of shit who are bent on destroying Western values. It happened already in London, Sweden, Ireland and Germany. It’s happening here NOW.

Today Is The One-Year Anniversary Of The Ybarra/Ward Verbal Diarrhea Word Salad Radio Show – Biz Pork Still Empty.

Exactly one year ago, then-newly-hired Economic Development director Stacey Ybarra and Ryan “Gump” Ward went on the radio to blather some feel-good nonsense about the $7.3 million dollar “Business” Pork project.

For the first time in her miserable life, radio host Rhonda Witcher actually asked piercing questions and held Ward/Ybarra’s feet to the fire over what a complete joke the entire project has been for nearly TWENTY YEARS now. Here are some excerpts:

Rhonda Witcher: “Well, the can of worms you get when you come here to Lampasas is the Business Park out on 183…the City has had that a long time…put a lot of money into it…it’s been built – has anybody come yet? Are there any renters?“

Ryan Ward: “That’s a great question! I can give you an update on that! Mandy did a great job…it is about 99% complete…the legwork that Mandy had done…there are several businesses that were waiting on the City of Lampasas to complete that… so once the electric is complete, we hope to get folks, uh, moving in as soon as possible, you know, some of these businesses that are really interested in being out there”

[Great non-answer! A lot of blabbering and zero information actually given. Shockingly, Rhonda didn’t accept that bullshit word salad and pressed on]

Rhonda Witcher: “But SPECIFICALLY, are any tire-kickers, ha-ha-ha, or anyone out there looking??”

Ryan Ward: “You know, uh, that would be a good question for, uh, our manager, Finley deGraffenreid….he worked real close with Mandy…that piece of it I didn’t work on it with Mandy…the interested parties…and…a lot of those things are kinda kept, nondisclosure…until they make their mind up…but yeah, I don’t have any of that information, I wish I did, to share”

Rhonda STILL didn’t accept that. He asks Ybarra: “what do you think of that?”

Stacey Ybarra: “I think it’s a great opportunity…at this moment in time…to be able to attract businesses, you need shovel-ready sites…you need those types of sites to be able to bring big businesses…it’s just about getting it completed and doing the legwork to bring them here, they will come…it just may take a tiny bit of time…but that’s what I’m here for….and making sure the money was worth the while. It is my number-one priority.…

Well, it has been a year for Ybarra making it her “number one priority” and cashing about $125,000 worth of paychecks and benefits from the citizens of Lampasas. Let’s see how the Business Pork looked today around noon:

Impressive!

Of course, it was a clusterf*ck long before Ybarra got here. A bunch of dummies declared it SHOVEL READY back in the fourth quarter of 2015 – a mere 100 months ago.

The ridiculous predictions go back even further than that….

“Ms. Toups said she wants to continue to provide infrastructure to develop the business park — which she said Harrison spoke against publicly. Ms. Toups said through the Lampasas Economic Development Corp.’s hard work, “we are on the verge of seeing large corporations come in [to the business park].” – April 21, 2017

“DeGraffenried said the LEDC was bold in its decisions to purchase the business park property and extend utilities to it. The city manager predicted Lampasas will enjoy many “spin-off benefits” throughout the city because of the utility work. ” – Oct 23, 2015

“Recent land clearing and development of a road at the business park, Mrs. Masonheimer added, have made the site more attractive to prospective businesses and U.S. 183 passersby.” – Oct 23, 2015

“Projects like this send a message that the city will provide the infrastructure needed for job growth,” [letter written by crusty, big-spending RINO fossil-dummy Roger Williams, U.S. Congressman] – Oct 23, 2015

“An economic study in 2001, [Neal] Leavell said, concluded a business park was the main item Lampasas needed to attract development.” – Oct 23, 2015

“We look forward to working with you and working to fill this business park with good jobs,” she said [Carol Faulkenberry, Texas Dept Agriculture] – Oct 23, 2015

“Mrs. Monroe noted the Lampasas Economic Development Corp. is working with the business park south of town on U.S. Highway 183, and she said she hopes the site will attract good employers to Lampasas. [Council member TJ Monroe] – April 14, 2015

“The incumbent said the city acquired the business park property several years ago but has lacked the infrastructure needed at the site. Soon, she said, the business park will be developed enough to be inviting to businesses. [Then-council-member Wanda Bierschwale] – April 10, 2015

“Grayson said he hopes to develop the business park and attract companies to the site.” [Then-mayor Grayson running for re-election] – April 3, 2015

“I feel like we’re getting somewhere,” board president Dr. Neal Leavell added. “I think we’ve really accomplished something. It’s taken a lot of patience, but we’re here.” – September 23, 2014

“Advocates of utility extensions have said entities compete vigorously for new jobs and that cities with ready-to-build sites have an advantage as they try to attract new businesses.” – August 8, 2014

“Economic development officials have said utilities for the business park are essential to make the 165-acre area attractive to companies.” – July 22, 2014

The LEDC was “proactive,” deGraffenried said, in acquiring the U.S. 183 property several years ago for a business park. The goal of utility extensions, the city manager said, is to develop the land into a site that can promote economic growth. – June 17, 2014

Dementia Patient “Working-Class Joe” Puts Hard Hat On Backwards – Looks Like a Buffoon.

From truck driver to coal miner – Joe Biden has made false claims about having LOTS of blue-collar jobs. In reality, he has never worked a day in the private sector in his entire life. Kind of like someone else we know who wears a make-believe hat…

So you can imagine my surprise when Blue Collar Joe put his hard hat on backwards!

What a maroon! What an ignoramus!

Reminds me of another retarded politician who did nothing but destroy economies and look like a clown in a hat:

I’m old enough to remember Dukakis sinking his own campaign with that single photo. You NEVER put anything on your head in public as a politician. Risks are too high of fucking up and looking stupid. Also like this chick….

Clayton was supposedly a rancher at this time – so he literally kicked himself off of the ranch health insurance?

Heartbreaking Death and Disaster In Ukraine. All Thanks To Left-Wing Idiots Who Pushed For More War.

There was a chance back in April of 2022 for Zelensky to sit down and negotiate for peace and stop a war he had ZERO chance of winning. Instead, the left-wing idiots demanded war and spewed insane nonsense like “Putin is about to die of cancer” and “the Russian tanks will get stuck in the mud” and “Kiev fighter pilots are KICKING ASS!!”

This was a complete lie. Only dummies like Fitzharris fell for it.

All lies and propaganda. Many of us knew this two years ago. More people figured it out later. Some STILL think Ukraine can “win.” They are completely deluded. Here is a view from the ground in Ukraine.

As you read the story below, think of the moron liberals like Carol Garner Doughty, Joe Biden, Clayton Tucker, Chuck Schumer and Stephanie Fitzharris who are sitting nice and comfy in their warm houses – having lost NOTHING by encouraging war. If there was any justice, THEY would have been sent to the front lines and turned into cannon fodder.

Written by Maria Mateiciuc:

I just got back from Ukraine, where I was visiting some friends.

Everything we have heard about what’s happening in Ukraine is a lie. The reality is darker, bleaker, and unequivocally hopeless.

There is no such thing as Ukraine “winning” this war. By their estimates, they have lost over one million of their sons, fathers and husbands; an entire generation is gone. 

Even in the Southwest, where the anti-Russian sentiment is long-standing, citizens are reluctant or straight-up scared to publicly criticize Zelensky; they will go to jail.

In every village and town, the streets, shops, and restaurants are mostly absent of men.

The few men who remain are terrified of leaving their homes for fear of being kidnapped into conscription. Some have resorted to begging friends to break their legs to avoid service.

Army search parties take place early in the morning, when men leave their homes to go to work. They ambush and kidnap them off the streets and within 3-4 hours they get listed in the army and taken away straight to the front lines with minimal or no training at all; it is “a death sentence.”

[Soldier life-expectancy at the front lines “meat grinder” is approximately FOUR HOURS]

It’s getting worse every day. Where I was staying, a dentist had just been taken by security forces on his way to work, leaving behind two small children. Every day, 3-5 dead bodies keep arriving from the front lines. Mothers and wives fight tooth and nail with the armed forces, beg and plead not to have their men taken away. They try bribing, which sometimes works, but most of the time they are met with physical violence and death threats.

The territory celebrated as having been “won back” from Russia has been reduced to rubble and is uninhabitable. Regardless, there is no one left to live there and displaced families will likely never return.

They see the way the war has been reported, at home and abroad. It’s a “joke” and “propaganda.” They say: “Look around: is this winning?”. Worse, some have been hoaxed into believing that once Ukrainians forces are exhausted, American soldiers will come in to replace them and “win the war”. There is no ambiguity in these people.

The war was for nothing – a travesty. The outcome always was, and is, clear. The people are hopeless, utterly destroyed, and living in an unending nightmare.  They are pleading for an end, any end – most likely the same “peace” that could have been achieved two years ago. In their minds, they have already lost, for their sons, fathers and husbands are gone, and their country has been destroyed. There is no “victory” that can change that. 

Make no mistake, they are angry with Putin. But they are also angry with Zelensky and the West. They have lost everything, worst of all, hope and faith, and cannot comprehend why Zelenky wishes to continue the current trajectory, the one of human devastation.

I didn’t witness the war; but what I saw was absolutely heart-breaking. Shame on the people, regardless of their intentions, who have supported this war. And shame on the media for continuing to lie about it.

Socialist chairman of Lampasas Democrats has promoted war since February 2022.

L.A. Times Lays Off 115 Regime Propaganda Peddlers From Newsroom. Learn to Code, Nerds.

Isn’t that what the slimeball commies in the Big City newsrooms told the pipeline workers to do when Biden shut them all down a couple years ago?

Learn to code, nerds. What an absolute shame! Just look at all the empty chairs! BAHAHAHAHA!

Mocking journalists losing their job is ghoulish, yes – but may be necessary…

Of course, hardcore commie “journalists” love to dish it out…but they aren’t too good at taking it:

California is always looking for people to pick vegetables. Learn to pick?

Every one of these kinds of tweets is getting ratioed because these “journalists” have no idea how much people—not just conservatives—despise them.

The second-greatest thing that can happen to this nation is newspapers going under and ‘journalists’ being unemployed. The same thing happening to universities would be the first.

Remember that time LA Times journos got very very upset about a Jason Aldean song and grilled him about “white privilege”? Anyway, really hope the layoff axe caught some of those folks. BAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Socialist Vermin Insists The Crappy Economy Is All Your Imagination Because You Are A Stupid Right Winger.

The economy is awesome! You are just too stupid to see it because you are a right-wing moron who is blinded by irrational hatred of the Great Joe Biden!

You know all those thousands of 20-something, pink-haired, nose-ring-having far-left idiots on TikTok raging about food inflation? They are actually far-right MAGA losers who are too stupid to see how great things ACTUALLY are!

Your car, home, health and business insurance going up 20% or 30% recently? You are imagining that shit – it didn’t really happen. But if it DID happen, it’s just “greedy” CEOs causing it.

Are you one of the 17% of utility rate payers behind on their bills because household heating costs have skyrocketed over 20% as residential utility debt hit a new record of $20.3 billion?? You are clearly just a deluded GOP imbecile!

In fact, the economy is SO awesome that the very same socialist clown who tells you how awesome the economy is, happens to be the SAME socialist clown who is simultaneously telling us that kids will starve to death if they don’t get more welfare from those of us footing the ever-growing bills….

He is also the same socialist clown who tells us that in this incredible economy with “historically low unemployment,” all the super-duper “most educated generation EVER” college graduates actually need their debt paid like helpless babies by the taxpayer, because they can’t afford pay back their loan or put a roof over their heads!

Yes, yes. The economy is fantastic, Biden just has a stutter, January 6th was the greatest threat to the nation in our history, women can have penises, men can menstruate, morons who can’t count to 10 can make great air-traffic controllers, the border is secure, Hunter Biden is an incredible artist, pinwheels can provide all the electrical needs of a first-world economy, only whites can be racist, up is down, black is white and bigger government with higher taxes will make this country great!!

Socialist Tapeworm Adds To His “Selfies With Scumbags” Collection.

The Chairman of the Lampasas Democrats and avowed socialist Clayton Tucker SDEC-24 doesn’t excel at much. But what he DOES excel at is getting selfies with some of the most anti-American, loathsome scumbags the world of politics has to offer.

These are the types of useless parasites and destroyers of the Constitution he idolizes.

His latest trophy? A picture with convicted ambulance-chaser and disbarred clown horn Ron Reynolds….

Ron Reynolds is a member of the Texas House, representing District 27. His accomplishments include getting disbarred for being an ambulance-chasing scumbag and shirking his duties as a legislator by running away with a Gaggle of Fat Morons on a private jet to Washington DC to avoid a vote back in July of 2021.

Lib scum legislators flee the state rather than vote – thus undermining Democracy.

He’s got quite the collection of useless parasites going now: Francis O’Rourke, Vikki Goodwin, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ron Reynolds, Jasmine Crockett, Bernie Sanders…

He’s like the Kate Hudson character in “Almost Famous” – except instead of being a groupie for a famous rock band, he is instead fellating the dregs of humanity who just use him to get a vote and then metaphorically toss him off the tour bus with semen running out of his mouth when they’re done with him. But he thinks they really love him! LOL.

Sad.

City of Irving Burned By Kelly-Moore Paints After $75,000 “Incentives” Handed Out Only Nine Months Ago. Our Own LEDC Should Take Note Of This.

A mere nine months ago, I pointed out that the city of Irving handed out $75,000 in “incentives” to Kelly-Moore paint company in return for “promises” of up to 30 jobs at $100,000 each:

Irving City Council Gives $75,000 Economic Incentive To Kelly -Moore Paint Co. [April 23, 2023]

Well, here we are only nine months later and we get this:

Out of Business: Kelly-Moore Paints

CEO describes abrupt shut down of the business

It’s the end of the road for Kelly-Moore Paints, the West Coast paint giant that enjoyed a nearly 80-year run.

Unable to pay creditors and running out of money and unable to find investors to carry on its colorful tradition, Kelly Moore Paints furloughed approximately 700 employees across the company’s locations, as well as put a halt at its manufacturing facility.

All 157 of its company-managed stores in California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas were shuttered early this month.  

You see, all the money is handed out by the cities UP FRONT in return for future promises from what may very well be a slimy owner or CEO. Kind of like Eco-Turd’s Mike Cour tried to do to our own LEDC three or four years ago.

The companies seeking handouts will almost ALWAYS get the upper hand on the economic development clowns for a few reasons:

1 – The economic development clowns have generally NEVER run a business (Misti Talbert) and many have never (or barely) even worked in the private sector (Stacey Ybarra, Ryan Ward, Finley deGraffenreid). They are like lambs to the slaughter against a cut-throat owner of a business.

2 – The information about the business will always be asymmetrical. That is, the owners and CEOs have a MUCH better knowledge of the businesses prospects going forward than the economic development clowns will ever have.

I’d bet a shiny new dime that Kelly-Moore Paints CEO Charles Gassenheimer knew damn good and well last April that Kelly-Moore was on very shaky ground. But why not just grab the $75,000 and see what happens? There is ZERO risk in him taking the money. ALL the risk fell on the taxpayers – and they just got fucked.

Mark my words: the EXACT same thing will happen to our very own LEDC one of these days. They are so desperate to make a deal – ANY deal – that it’s virtually guaranteed they will get the shit end of any sticks.

“Shovel ready!” for 8.5 years – zero tenants.
