City Proposes Tax Rate Just Under Max To Avoid Election. Sees $326,000 Surplus. Finley Suggests $312,000 In Raises For Employees.

Talk about a kick in the nuts. First you propose a tax rate JUST UNDER the amount that would trigger an election and give people a chance to vote it down. They seem to do this every year, despite the fact that Finley insists property taxes are just a “small” part of City revenues.

OK then – how about cutting that rate in half and letting people keep that money instead of showing a surplus in your budget?

You can see below that Finley has OTHER ideas for that extra money: namely a 4% Cost Of Living Adjustment (which according to Ryan Ward is NOT a raise) for his gang….

I find this 4% number puzzling, because the Democrats are telling us that inflation is 3% and falling. PLUS, everyone in the City got VERY generous raises in the past when inflation was ZERO.

[For example, in August of 2015 during the very profligate Toups years, City employees were given a raise of FIVE PERCENT in a year the CPI was only 0.1% – essentially ZERO]

That COLA looks like it might cover just about everyone – because $312,000 is 4% of $7.8 million. I find it hard to believe they can justify handing ANOTHER $6,000 to Finley or $4,000 to Cummings or $5,000 to Ward when they are ALREADY paid far over the average for their positions.

P.S. – you will also notice $40,000 for a “water study” – which I think is self explanatory. If previous councils and mayors (**cough** TALBERT **cough**MONROE**) had levied a $2000-per-new-house impact fee over the last few years, they would have about $300,000 in a fund to cover things like this.

INSTEAD, those morons were GIVING money TO developers to build here! Hillside Acres, Hidden Oaks, Brodie Estates, Stone Valley: all of them GIVEN money from the City and ZERO impact fees assessed for things like future water use.

Well, time to pay the fiddler for the water situation…and it’s not the first time. A LOT of money has ALREADY been spent on the “upper pressure plane problem” – which seemed to occur EXACTLY where Deorald Finney put his 69 subsidized houses a couple years ago.

Mind you, this is just to STUDY the problem. Solutions will run into the millions of dollars.

Hostess House not $800k anymore. Now it’s $2.15 million!

Time For Abbott To Grow Balls – Tell Federal Judge David Ezra To Fuck Himself. Do NOT Remove Buoys From Rio Grande.

If ever there was a time for Abbott to grow a ball sack, it is NOW. Biden and Mayorkas have left the border wide open – and the GOP is so dickless, they haven’t even started impeachment proceedings against EITHER ONE OF THEM, despite taking over the House 8 months ago!

Scumbag U.S. District Judge David Ezra called for the removal of buoys in the Rio Grande within 10 days. These buoys are about the only thing that have seemed to work in keeping out the hoards of illiterate third-world trash invading Texas. Trash from Haiti, from Iran, from Central Africa and every other shit hole that isn’t even CLOSE to us on a map – negating their “asylum” claims before they are even made. We do NOT share a border with any of those countries.

Instead of being thankful Texas is doing their job for them, Biden and his DOJ went to court to demand they are removed. I have no idea what their argument for doing so could possibly be, but the traitor David Ezra (a 76-year-old fossil) sided with the DOJ:

Well, time to take a page out of Joe Biden’s book. What does Joe do when the Supreme Court rules against him? He ignores them and does what he wants. Our side can’t play nice anymore.

Abbott tells the judge he will be ignoring that order and will be stationing the entire Texas national guard down there to protect the buoys. Maybe he casually mentions to every able-bodied man in Texas to grab a gun and join them down there.

Civil War 2.0 has been simmering in the court rooms and hidden away in the vote-counting rooms for almost three years now. Enough. If you pussy out on this, you’ll never get another chance. We’ll be overrun with scum, Texas turns blue and then it’s all over.

ERCOT Now Projecting Demand Exceeding Supply Of Energy This Evening. Thanks To Shitty Pinwheels Sitting Idle

Green Energy morons strike again!

With the sun starting to fall in the sky (as it does every day around now), clouds forming and the wind dying – all of the Green Energy morons’ favorite ways to make unreliable energy and an exorbitant cost are shitting the bed simultaneously.

Demand forecast at 79.1 gigawatts and supply at only 78.7 gigawatts later this evening.

Of course, should the worst happen, Green Energy dipshits will Tweet crap like “fix the damn grid” from their mom’s attic, where they live.

Fix it how, you ask? There is more demand than supply. The grid has nothing to do with it. There is not enough SUPPLY and no matter how many extra solar panels or pinwheels you could conjure out of thin air and attach to the grid, there STILL wouldn’t be any more power…because you have spent all the money on shitty power sources that are INTERMITTENT and UNRELIABLE instead of building more RELIABLE power sources like nuclear and natural gas.

The solution, of course, is to cut off the power to every Democrat in the state of Texas for 6 or 7 hours so that the fools who asked for this are the ones who suffer for their moronic decisions.

Ramaswamy Only Candidate To Take a Shit On “Global Warming”

Vivek wins me over on a lot of stuff, but I love that he calls out Green Energy as a giant scam.

“The zero-carbon agenda is a wet blanket on our economy…more people are dying from climate change POLICIES than from actual climate change”

Amen, my brown brother. My brother from a Hindu mother.

He also realizes (and says out loud) that the whole Ukraine adventure is a gigantic scam and waste of money. The American border is far more important than the Ukrainian border.

As soon as Vivek took a steaming shit on Green Energy, I KNEW that local socialist and Green Energy moron Clayton Tucker SDEC-24 would have to post something – and he did:

Um, yeah “climate change” is real – the climate has been changing for hundreds of millions of years, Jack!

What ISN’T real is the notion that handing a LOT more money to Joe Biden or putting up idiotic pinwheels all over the place is going to change anything. All it does is give morons like AOC, Ed Markey and Joe Biden more money to hand out to their cronies on failed idiotic projects.

The government cannot even make money selling HAMBURGERS on Amtrak trains to a captive audience! You think they can do SHIT about “climate change”??

Amtrak Managed to Lose $833 Million Selling $9.50 Hamburgers

But yes, by all means, let’s tax citizens ANOTHER couple of trillion to “fix” the earth’s temperature and make it stay EXACTLY where it is now for all of eternity.

Morons.

Lampasas Democratic Chairman Clayton Tucker is a child. He is 32 years old with no job and lives with his mom…and he is worried about the temperature being a degree or two HIGHER in 100 years. Talk about having your priorities wrong. But he certainly proves the old adage about children:

“Children should be seen and not heard – because they have NO experience, bad information and yet have answers for everything that don’t make any sense at all”

[Say, that reminds me: current energy demand is 67 gigawatts. Shitty pinwheels are providing 2.5 GW right now. Or only 3.5% of demand. Wow – that was $80 billion well-spent!]

Yet Another Reason to Steer Clear Of Austin

The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group is a globalist enterprise with at least 14 partners right here in the U.S., and, they have set an “ambitious target” to convince the masses to give up meat, dairy, and private car ownership, as well as almost all flights, to supposedly save the planet and control temperatures forever around the current level.

Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the ‘C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,’ which has an ‘ambitious target‘ by the year 2030 of ‘0 kg [of] meat consumption,’ ‘0 kg [of] dairy consumption,’ ‘3 new clothing items per person per year,’ ‘0 private vehicles’ owned, and ‘1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.’ …

The organization is headed and largely funded by Democrat billionaire Michael Bloomberg. Nearly 100 cities across the world make up the organization, and its American members includeAustin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.

So 14 leftist cities in the U.S. have signed on to this commitment to take away freedom of choice from their citizens, while people suffer under rampant crime and children perform poorly in schools, but their priority is to take away milk, meat, and gas-powered cars. 

Got it.

Major funders and partners of the organization include George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, the Clinton Foundation, and The World Bank.

Michael Bloomberg, the president of the group, is himself transported via gas-guzzling private jets and limousines, to his many mansions around the world.  From Fox News:

Flight records show that Bloomberg’s private jets took more than 1,700 trips and emitted at least 10,000 metric tons of CO2 from August 2016 to August 2020, a Business Insider analysis found. A typical car emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide in one year.

Bloomberg has access to multiple private jets, but he wants to limit us to one short-haul flight every three years.

He probably pretends he cares about his carbon footprint by buying worthless pieces of paper called carbon credits.  His real estate portfolio consists of “at least 11 homes,” and he owns a fleet of luxury personal vehicles:

To suit his luxurious fortune, he owns a Mercedes-Benz Maybach sedan. His Audi R8 is the one that shows athletic personification. Like a mandated SUV in the home of every celeb, Cadillac Escalade is tuned in black color. After not getting satisfied with one, he owns another fullsize SUV from Chevrolet.

Bloomberg and other green pushers tell people their gas-powered cars are destroying the planet, yet he has a massive car collection of gas-guzzlers.

They want to outlaw milk; does that include breastfeeding?  Pretty sure that’s a dairy product, and women and babies breathe out that vicious CO2, a non-pollutant, clear gas that makes plants thrive.

These billionaires generate massive pollution and pollute people’s minds with talking points to indoctrinate the people to fall for pure propaganda.

What you will never see in these articles or in these policies is scientific data that show a direct correlation between milk and temperature, cars and temperature, meat and temperature, the population and temperature, crude oil consumption and temperature, or CO2 and temperature.  The temperature fluctuates no matter what the other variables do.

You will also not see any correlation between any of these variables and storm activity or sea levels.

When there is no correlation, you can’t assume causation.  It is all a scam.

The sole purpose of these big government policies by leftists is to control our lives.

These billionaires and other leftists pretend they care about the poor and middle classes and small business, but every day, they show that is a blatant lie.  They are extremely dangerous to our survival as a great and prosperous country, as are all the journalists who regurgitate the talking points without asking questions or doing any research.

As Whispers Of a Return Of Forced Covid Masks Are Heard, Remember Who The Local Covid Rat and Mask Nazi Scumbags Are.

I still can’t believe the current rumors, but after everything I’ve seen over the last 3 years, nothing would surprise me anymore…

Now is the time nip this in the bud. To re-commit yourself to loudly supporting any business in town who refuses to force masks on people. To ostracizing and shaming and ridiculing any piece of shit who embraces this nonsense again.

As a helpful guide, here are some of the locals who loudly backed it the first time. They will back masks and lockdowns again not only because they are idiot liberals, but because NONE OF THEM HAVE A JOB. It is no sacrifice for them at all to sit home all day, because that’s what they do anyways.

Stephanie “Potato Head” Fitzharris. She has recently purchased her mother’s house on Spring Street (after living in Oregon, Santa Monica CA and Austin TX) and is trying to pass herself off as a conservative. She is not. She is a hard-core lefty and authoritarian mask/vax/Biden lover. I have covered her EXTENSIVELY HERE. Also, use search function.

Those of us who (correctly) called the vaccines “shit” were lambasted for spreading “disinformation”

Bruce “The Manatee” Haywood. One of the loudest (and fattest) voices for keeping kids out of school during Covid the first time around (2020/2021 school year). He kept his own kid out of school as well. Bruce spends his days sleeping til noon, not paying any property taxes, and ranting about how Trump should be in jail. So the lockdowns and masking he loves so much will not inconvenience him at all.

Clayton “Trust Fund” TuckerChairman of Lampasas Democrat Party: Rabid socialist, authoritarian and promoter of forced masking and “vaccines.” Was running against Dawn Buckingham (a REAL doctor) during Covid in 2020 and had the nerve to imply she was hurting people by NOT wearing a mask. He is known to wear a mask in a car BY HIMSELF. Also has no job and lives with mom, so lockdowns don’t harm him.

Melissa “Crazy Cane Lady” Johnson. This lunatic hermit has worn a mask her entire life…something she failed to mention until YEARS after Covid when she was calling everyone selfish for NOT wearing a mask. She is jobless, friendless and brainless. Lockdowns and forced masking do not change her life one bit.

Guess what? You got your wish. You were REALLY WRONG about all of it. Now shut the fuck up forever.

Julie Cain Landrum: Massive Covid rat who tattled publicly on several local businesses during Covid. Ran a hobby lemonade stand during Covid (Wool & Vine) which failed earlier this year (karma is a bitch!) – currently unemployed again and lockdowns/masking will not affect her at all. I have covered her extensively as well. Use search function.

“Crazy eyes” are a real thing. Ask AOC.

Lee Morey. Another fat guy who liked to tell us all how awesome he is and how terrible you are. He’s clearly terrible at assessing risk since he rides motorcycles but is afraid of a cold virus.

Grady “Man Gravy” Lucas. Was driven completely insane by Covid and Trump Derangement Syndrome simultaneously. Is STILL petrified of Covid TODAY, despite (1) it being almost the end of 2023 and (2) having had MANY “vaccines” and boosters and STILL getting Covid himself!

This is from LAST WEEK!
Dumbest asshole around

Is petrified of a cold virus, yet just fine with jamming another man’s penis down his “soar throat.” Grady is another one who doesn’t have a job – having run his own business into the ground in 2009, he tossed his mom into a nursing home, moved into HER home, and then posted a GoFundMe to “help fix up my mom’s house” to get free shit by fooling people into thinking they were giving to an old lady. Lockdowns and masking will not affect him at all either. No job and no life. A complete piece of shit.

More to come….

Fifth-Generation Rancher Goes To Beginner Course – Takes Ten Pages Of Notes.

Wow. The previous four generations of Tucker goat ranchers must have jealously guarded all their accumulated knowledge from poor Clayton. He has to go to the beginner class when he’s nearly 33 years old!

I am trying to imagine what those notes look like. Hmmm…..

#1 – It’s Blue KOTE, not Blue NOTE. Stupid, stupid Clayton! Never make that mistake again!

#2 – I work on a RANCH. Ranch, ranch, ranch. NOT a farm. Ranch for animals…FARM for crops. How the hell am I going to remember that?? Better write that on my hand or something.

#3 – I wonder what Bernie Sanders is doing right now. I think I’ll tweet at him. God it’s freezing in here. They are totally ruining the planet by running the AC so much. I should inform the guy in charge that he needs to be more mindful of Mother Earth because we are all going to die in 12 years if he doesn’t turn down the air. He’ll appreciate my concern, I bet. I’ll give him some Bernie Sanders literature as well. People love that!

#4 – “Goats are browsers…sheep are grazers.” Cool! I’ll have to Google the word “browser” later, but that is SO cool!

#5 – “Sell goat for MORE than you paid for it.” Do this over and over. Hopefully MORE than the original cost of goat, plus all the inputs like food, mineral licks PLUS my time! Golly, this capitalism is hard. I always forget to value my time. That’s probably like $100 an hour right there.

#6 – “Common cost associated with raising goats: feed, alfalfa, mineral licks, vet bills, property taxes.” Wait, property taxes? WTF is that? The thing grandpa pays every year to the friendly government person? I should offer to pay that, maybe. Cant be more than $20 or $30 bucks, I bet.

#7 – Call Beto. See if I can get that mean Irish inch in my ass again soon. Oops…did I just write that down? Fuck. I wish pens had erasers.

He could have saved himself a lot of time and money and just bought Storey’s Guide to Raising Meat Goats.

Lampasas Democratic Chairman Backed Yet ANOTHER Losing Horse: Ukraine.

Well over $100 billion in U.S. tax dollars wasted on an extremely corrupt nation with an extremely corrupt leader. Over 500,000 senseless casualties. For what? Nothing. Ukraine is getting their asses kicked and it will all be over soon.

I knew back in February of 2022 when some of the dumbest people in town switched their mask and vax syringe emojis overnight for Ukrainian flag emojis that the whole thing was a scam.

The Chairman of the Lampasas Democrats (Clayton Tucker SDEC-24 TX) was one of the biggest cheerleaders of all. He even placed a Ukrainian flag on his parents’ house (where he lives at age 32)….

Hardly “unprovoked” – we brought NATO to Putin’s doorstep. The U.S. poked the Russian Bear repeatedly.

Really? Invasions of another country’s borders are unacceptable? Clayton Tucker has called our southern border “racist”…..

My guess is that 80% of that Ukraine money was embezzled, stolen or sent back to line the pockets of politicians like Schumer, Biden, Pelosi and many on the right as well. There was bipartisan support to NOT audit all the billions. That means corruption.

Remember back in March and April of 2022 all the morons like Tucker were parroting the media propaganda: Putin is acting erratically and is probably dying of cancer, Russian tanks will get stuck in the mud, the Russians are losing morale, the Ghost of Kiev fighter pilot shot down a bunch of Russians, blah, blah, blah.

All bullshit.

Ukraine Admits the ‘Ghost of Kyiv’ isn’t Real

No matter WHAT the issue, local socialist Clayton Tucker is on the wrong side of it. His position is ALWAYS a loser in the end: Bernie Sanders, wind power, covid ‘vaccines,’ Robert O’Rourke, wearing a useless mask, and now Ukraine.

Oh, and socialism as a viable economic system.
