Here we go again! “Doctor” Chane Rascoe (who makes $177,000 per year – more than the governor of Texas) has recommended everyone and anyone get some more nice fat raises in the Lampasas school system. That means every single person with a pulse – there is no merit involved here. I think you might be shocked at some of the salaries these people get for nine months of work.

It’s too bad they do this in April and thus as far away as possible from when we pay our ridiculous property taxes in the fall. People will unfortunately have about seven or eight months between now and when they are billed for this nonsense to forget about how hard they are being screwed.

If property taxes were due next week, they might be more pissed off. Rightfully so.

First, you should acquaint yourself with all the raises they got in the past when inflation was tame – especially the MASSIVE raises in 2020 just before the school year got cut short. You can see that post linked below:

More Raises Given During Low Inflation Years…

Here is a blurb from the Dispatch today:

Here are some current salaries taken DIRECTLY from GovSalaries.com for 2022 – remember, these numbers are BEFORE these new raises take effect:

Joey McQueen – high scho0l principal – $108,643

Wanda Bunting – Business Services Professional – $90,258

Whitney Walker – Human Resources – $82,680

Penny Wilson – Counselor – $82,526

Tonya Cockburn – Occupational Therapist – $76,946

Jennifer Adams – Counselor – $75,522

Donna Clark – School Nurse – $73,129 (my goodness! Putting Band-Aids on boo boos pays better than being an ICU nurse working 12 hour shifts!!)

[Notice anything about the $586,000 in salaries for the above seven people? None of them are actually teachers!! Amazing. Let’s see some more….]

Christine Byrd – Counselor – $72,750

Christy Wiley – Teacher – $68,215 (her husband once whined on Facebook that his wife “only makes $4 an hour when you add up all the hours she spends.” Which is utter nonsense, of course. Right Mike?)

Beverly Sue Spencer – Transportation – $75,280 (?!?!?)

Shelly Mulcahy – Teacher “facilitator” (??) – $67,869

Kerri Holcomb – Librarian – $65,345 (are you kidding me?)

Cathy Kuehne – Art teacher – $67,915 (current City council member who “put herself at risk every day” during the Covid scamdemic)

Michael Kuehne – Teacher – $60,835 (BLM supporter and pizza lover)

Anyways, you get the picture.

I have no beef with GOOD teachers who teach IMPORTANT subjects (math, science, reading) being paid well.

What I DO have a problem with is the bloated and ever-increasing mass of “administrators” and bullshit artists like Kathy Staruska getting automatic raises and growing larger every year.

I have talked about this in the past, but here it is in graphical representation AGAIN:

The number of “administrators” (paper pushers and Nerf job clowns) has increased FOUR TIMES FASTER than the student population. This is absolutely outrageous considering this number should have SHRUNK with the advent of computers, the Internet and other productivity-enhancing inventions.

[If you are good at math, you will realize immediately that “administrators” needs to be cut by roughly 75% to get it back in line. Think of that money THAT would save!!]

The teacher population has grown TWICE as fast as well. When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s, every single one of my classes had about 30 kids in it. Now it’s more like 20. Ergo, teachers are being paid more to deal with 33% LESS kids. So I can’t exactly cry a river there either, but at least they are in the classroom imparting knowledge – unlike these other clown horns.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) analyzes the skill requirements of different jobs, assigning each a pay grade based on the federal government’s General Schedule (GS). At the lowest skill levels—a GS-6 on the federal scale—teachers earn salaries about 26 percent higher than similar white-collar workers.

The average public school teaching position rated an 8.8 on the federal GS scale. After adjustment to reflect the time that teachers work outside the formal school day, the BLS data show that public school teachers on average receive salaries about 8 percent above similar private-sector jobs.

Contrary to myth, teachers are generally not foregoing higher salaries by staying in the classroom. Data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation show that teachers who change to non-teaching jobs take an average salary cut of about 3 percent. Studies using administrative records in Florida, Missouri, Georgia, and Montana showed similar results; the Georgia study found “strong evidence that very few of those who leave teaching take jobs that pay more than their salary as teachers.” [This data is from 2018 – the disparity is no doubt far larger now after the huge raises in recent years]

We aren’t even talking about the BENEFITS yet! The benefits are absolutely destroying state budgets and will continue to do so.

As the New York Times reported, public-employee retirement and health benefits are bleeding dry state and local budgets. Neither the public nor teachers fully appreciates the costs of these programs. We forget the value of benefits when considering how teacher pay compares with private-sector work. And research suggests that teachers value deferred compensation less than upfront salary.

Or are the sneaky Lefty Landrums tricking me around April Fool’s Day?

Then again, they ARE right there in the “blighted” downtown area. Tough to eke out a living when you are located in THAT hellscape, ammi right?? Practically Mogadishu down there with all that blight.

If this IS confirmed later this week, we will be celebrating all weekend long with some re-prints of my favorite Julie Landrum moments – like when I sent her a Narwall Mask for Christmas back in December of 2020.

Inspiring to see our young people so deeply committed to missing a chunk of class time.

Today over 100 schools across the country are walking out to demand gun reform.

Here are your future Clayton Tuckers and Cade Snyder/Hilgenbergs. Your Christine Seefeldts. Morons who don’t appreciate the Constitution and the sacrifices made in forming this country. Idiots who don’t know even one page of history and have no clue who Mao or Pol Pot were. How could they? They are too busy watching trannies on TikTok all day long and dying their hair purple.

The same dipshits who think the world is going to end from global warming in 8 years and that putting up some pinwheels will fix it.

I’ll bet you $500 that 95% of these kids (1) have no idea that just 50 or so years ago, high school kids rode to school with guns in gun racks in their trucks and there were ZERO school shootings and (2) cannot even do math at what was a 7th grade level in 1960.

This is exactly why the voting age should never be lowered to 16, as the lefties and pinkos have been pushing for. I’m guessing 90% of 16-year-olds would vote Democrat because 16-year-olds are incredibly ignorant and detached from reality…just like most Democrats. In fact, the voting age should be raised to 25 unless you are out in the real world working and paying taxes. THEN you can have a say. Unless you were born in Germany or Somalia, of course.

They are put up to this garbage by their teachers, you can bet.

Give the school districts a choice: the teachers and administrators who put the kids up to this and enabled it all resign and lose their licenses, or every last kid involved gets suspended.

Nothing I hate more than foreigners moving here and then (1) bitching about what an awful place it is and/or (2) working hard to undermine the Constitution by either getting elected to Congress (Ilhan Omar) or by voting for obvious socialist pieces of shit like Beto, Biden, AOC, etc.

Christine Seefeldt of Killeen is just such a person.

A tranny freak murdered six innocent people recently, and this old bat Seefeldt is yammering on about destroying the Second Amendment like she knows what she’s talking about.

Setting aside for a moment that the Second Amendment is VERY clear about “the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms” (and that both Warren Burger and some old German bat named Christine Seefeldt have no clue what they are talking about) – I have to ask if you are so offended by firearms, why the FUCK are you living in TEXAS or in the UNITED STATES at all??

So this idiot foreigner DOES know about the Second Amendment…but she refuses to respect it. Again, head on back to Germany, you kraut. If I was in charge, you’d be deported tomorrow.

You want to know what guns are good for? Look up the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, you complete scheisskerl. That’s just for starters. It would have probably kept you Germans from putting a bunch of Jews in the ovens as well. Ever think of that, dummkopf?

By all means, feel free to pack up your lederhosen and your glockenspiel and head on back to Germany. I’ll even pay for your move, as I have offered to do for other socialist pieces of shit like Clayton Tucker, Potato Head Fitzharris and Bruce Haywood.

Naturally, she’s a rabid Covid Cult member and virtue signaler as well…

If I had my druthers, NOBODY born in a foreign country would ever be able to vote in the U.S. I don’t give a shit how many taxes you pay here or how many citizenship tests you pass. You should be thankful just to be here and not in the craphole country from whence you came.

I might even extend that to the kids of people born in another country – as it would prevent abortions like socialist Greg Casar from ever having a say in anything and ruining my country with their socialist, big government horseshit.

Seefeldt never misses a chance to take a shit on America and thinks Joe Biden is the answer to everything. Whether it is the Second Amendment, the price of Pringles, or the minimum wage, she just can’t keep her fat mouth shut about how bad things are here.

This idiot adores Biden, applauds the “Inflation Reduction Act” and its $1.7 TRILLION of inflationary spending and then whines about the price of Pringles. I love how Germans/French/Brits brag about how everything is better in Europe – especially the welfare. What she forgets is that you save a LOT of money when you have the U.S. pay for your defense and you refuse to pay your fair share to NATO for about 30 years.

So do us all a favor. STFU about economics, gun control, minimum wage, oil pipelines and all the rest of it. Your place is in the kitchen baking a nice strudel for your man then taking care of his Weiner schnitzel, if you get my drift. Leave running the greatest country on earth to the men.

This chick kind single-handedly proves the point that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote because they are prone to irrational, emotional idiocy like this – instead of logic, reason and respect for our Constitution.

Here are some random fun facts for you:

New Hampshire has:

1.) Open carry.

2.) No licensing/permitting requirements.

3.) No magazine restrictions.

4.) No assault weapons ban.

5.) No background checks for private sales.

Yet they have:

1.) No mass shooting since 1982.

2.) A lower gun murder rate than NY, CA, NJ, & IL.

Banks better get on the ball and start offering decent interest rates, or they’re going to end up in the dumpster.

The “Bank Walk” continues. Bank deposits now down 4.1%. This is your sibling, your neighbor, people with money sitting in a bank account, each at their own pace deciding they’re sick of earning 0%. Each day, someone new, moving their money out of 0% and into 4.8% T-Bills.

I brought this up last November – months before SVB and Signature blew up:

Tired of Getting Screwed With 0% Interest By Local Banks? There Is a Solution.

As usual, the public is finally waking up to the obvious about 6 months late. Here is a partial reprint of my article:

There is a way to get a risk-free 4.5% now, if you’re willing to tie your money up for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months at a time. It is essentially a CD (certificate of deposit) and can be laddered the same way.

[Learn about laddering here]

All you need to do is set up an account to buy T-bills DIRECTLY from the U.S. Government. Go to www.treasurydirect.com and set up an account. It’s free – and you can quickly link your local bank account to your Treasury Direct account.

The yield curve is massively inverted right now – a sign of recession. Six-month and one-year bills are very fat.

Here is a link to current T-bill rates:

Current Treasury Rates

Why just last week, I was able to get some 4-month bills at 4.977%

The banks foolishly screwed themselves lending long in the mortgage market at ridiculous 2.5% and 3% rates over the last few years and then not hedging duration risk. Not my problem though. I’ll be ok when it all blows sky high.

Got gold??

I can see why Comrade Clayton is enamored with Robert Reich and quotes him all the time. They are both socialist dwarves who have never worked a real job in their miserable lives.

[Luckily for the rest of us, Reich is in his 70s and will hopefully be dead soon so he will no longer be polluting discussions with his socialist bullshit. Unless he is like a Tolkein dwarf and lives up to 300 years. Then, god help us all.]

I’m curious, Comrade Clayton: where do you sell YOUR beef? You ARE a rancher, after all. You have been promoting that charade for years now. Are you just one of those foolish ranchers mentioned by Reich (a useless economist who knows zero about ranching or anything else) who bends over and takes it from Big Meat (and I don’t mean Beto)? Or do you look elsewhere to sell your phantom ranch products? Like at farmers markets or on-line direct to consumer?

For instance:

When I used to WORK at the Texas Farmer’s Market (Lakeline Mall in Cedar Park on Saturday and Mueller on Sunday), there was PLENTY of meat for sale from REAL ranchers. Just ask for Amy and George Greer out of Brady Texas. Pretty good steaks.

People can also buy direct on-line from places like Moink….which I ALSO happen to do now and then. Though it is tough to beat the pork chops, bacon and bacon-wrapped filets at M&M right here in town.

I’m wondering, Comrade Clayton, why YOU don’t sell your meat from your ranch at a local farmers market also? The Lampasas Farmers Market is LITERALLY less than 3 blocks from your house every Saturday and starts at 9am.

I myself had to get up around 6am in the dark to load product to get to Lakeline Mall by 8am, which pretty much sucked after working all week. YOU, on the other hand, could roll out of bed at 8:45 and still be to the market on time. Why don’t you do that?

There are only a couple of reasons I can think of why you DON’T sell meat from your “ranch” at the local market:

#1 – you don’t have any products to sell because you are not a rancher. I put this probability at 99%

#2 – you are too lazy to get up early on Saturday morning and transport all the coolers and tents and shit to the market to sell your ranch products. I put this probability at less than 1%.

#3 – you sell your products to Big Meat and are part of the problem you profess to hate. I put this probability at less than 1% also.
