It has been 18 months since Talbert and the LEDC stood before City council and begged for another $2 million to incinerate at the “Business Park” – and swiped $971,000 in Covid relief funds from the City. Money that COULD have been used for just about anything. Instead, the LEDC grabbed it and set it on fire….
Guess what? The Business Park is STILL EMPTY today on August 14th, 2023! And despite the LEDC posting about a “project won” and “20 to 35 jobs created,” when pressed for evidence of this, they had to admit: we don’t have any.
Of course, the biggest piece of evidence of all is the giant 156-acre “goat pasture” (former council member Mike White’s words, not mine) sitting out there on highway 183 as you head south towards Cedar Park. A $7 million dollar testimony to idiocy, money wasting, incompetence and general retardation.
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”
Yet here we sit ANOTHER eight months later. Nothing accomplished. What happened to the “several businesses” waiting in the wings? You’ll never get an answer on that, because the City’s hack attorney refuses to divulge it. It’s all “secret.”
The Lampasas Economic Development Corporation: throwing tax money into a pit for 21 years and counting!
So, we got a good look at the CURRENT resume in Part I. This is the resume that shows he is finally abandoning the Fake Rancher Persona, at least as far as his on-line persona goes.
Oh, he’ll still wear a cowboy hat and play “rancher” for the little old ladies with the goat pictures, but he knows he’s been busted – and he needs to move on to the Global Warming Grift full time.
Here is the definitive timeline of how we got here – all of Clayton Tucker SDEC-24 TX lies strung together in one spot for posterity. When he decides to run for something again, I will hand ALL of this over to his opponent on a silver platter.
Graduates college in 2013, dicks around doing nothing for a year and then babysits kindergarteners for 9 months in China in 2014/2015. Quits that after blathering about how great China is and how the healthcare is SO cheap, etc, etc. But shockingly, decides to leave.
Dicks around “traveling the world” in Asia on someone else’s dime until he resurfaces in Lampasas in 2016. Dicks around another year until summer of 2017 doing nothing.He is now 26 and must be kicked off mom and dad’s health insurance by law.
His parents are probably now saying “hey asshole, we spent $80,000 for your useless International Relations degree…get to work – you graduated FOUR years ago!” so he starts some shitty blog called Organic Helicopter in the summer of 2017. It goes bust almost immediately. He also tries to grab a vacant Lampasas City council seat at this time – and fails.
Shit! What to do now? This is when he starts glomming onto loser campaigns like Chris Perri (loses in primary to Julie Oliver) and Julie Oliver (loses in general to Roger Williams). Gets a taste of grifter life from idiots like Julie Oliver and Robert O’Rourke. Also, Clayton’s mom used to be a government employee with the Railroad Commission and I’m pretty sure a relative got him an internship in Williamson County/County Attorney’s office during the summer of 2011. So he decides to go the “parasite” route with his life.
Maybe thinks he can work his way up the grifter totem pole working for free for loser grifters like Julie Oliver. In 2018 grabs a position (I hesitate to call it a job as I don’t think he got paid) with the Bernie Sanders scumbags “Our Revolution” – and pals around with Bernie Bros during this time:
Still hasn’t adopted “iconic” cowboy hat and fake rancher persona
Still no cowboy hat…just trust fund nerd baseball cap
[He becomes butt buddies with Jim Hightower at this point who he seems to worship. They have a lot in common: both commie nerds who pose as farmers but have ZERO practical agricultural experience]
Decides to run for office HIMSELF towards the end of 2019. I’m guessing he saw how unintelligent and unskilled all these other grifters were and thought “hey, I’m just as dumb and useless as them. Why can’t I run for office too?”
He was briefly a candidate for Texas House District 54 as of September 2019, but pussied out and withdrew, for reasons unknown. Possibly because he didn’t live there. When he switched to TX Senate-24, he listed a Killeen address. Considering he lives with his mom in Lampasas, that is likely another lie. I once tried to track down his candidate filing papers for that race, but they had been lost or destroyed, apparently….
He bitches online (November 2019) about “losing his health insurance” because he’s “decided to run for office,” like he is making the supreme sacrifice –this is a massive lie. One of the first Big Lies I caught him in. According to HIM (all three resumes), he was “working” for the Bernie Sanders communists at Our Revolution at this time – he was even a “State Director“!!
So the Bernie Sanders political organization that demands health care for ALL did not even provide health insurance to their own employees??? Hilarious! But they didn’t deny him insurance because he was running for office. That’s a lie. A convenient lie for Tucker to segue into how healthcare is a “human right” and we need socialized medicine – one of his favorite demands.
The first of many, many lies. But he never thought anyone would put all this together, I’m sure.
That gay-ass photo of him on grampa’s tractor wearing sunglasses and a hat my 83-year-old mom would wear is where he likely launched his Fake Rancher Persona for his campaign against Dawn Buckingham. He yukked it up more and more in every newspaper interview he did, laying on the country boy bullshit thicker and thicker each time. He made up bullshit about “the family farm” that would never be checked by anyone. Or so he thought…
Clear the field for crops. BAHAHAHAHA. What crops???
….and by the end of the year, he had left a huge trail of lies and bullshit about being a farmer/cowboy/rancher – thinking he’d never get caught for it.He was EXTRMELY careless about interchanging those terms, too. A real farmer wouldn’t call himself a cowboy or a rancher….and vice versa. But we are not dealing with a genius here…and he never thought this would all catch up to him eventually.
Covid hit in March 2020 and it worked out nicely for him. He had no real job and was running for office – so he could afford to scream about “stay home, save lives!” because he already stayed home (just like Fitzharris, Haywood, Melissa Johnson and the rest of the losers who yelled at us to do the same).
So he spent countless hours doing retarded videos called “Tucker Talks” – this is where he switched hats and started REALLY going hard with the “cowboy/rancher” bullshit. I covered this fraud in a blog post:
[Spring of 2020 he glommed onto his first non-profit with some hard-core lefty hippies (Kristin R. Wright & Kelly Flading) in Killeen called Killeen Creators. He did a bunch of photo ops with masks on and lists it on his resumes – but he never does any work in those gardens or gets his hands dirty. The main driving force was Flading, who died in 2021 and was a TRUE hippie farmer – not a poseur. Now it is mostly a bunch of fat hippies who sit around doing art and creating safe spaces]
Like most women, he was EXTRMELY petrified of Covid and wore a mask everywhere. He chided his opponent Dawn Buckingham (who is a REAL doctor and accomplished surgeon) for being smart enough to realize a mask is useless against Covid.
The guy who can’t get his own life together and lives with mom is going to “protect the health of everyone” – yeah right!
Stupid asshole wearing a useless mask touting socialized medicine. That says it all.
After getting utterly destroyed by 40 points by Dawn Buckingham in the fall of 2020, he was back to being a nobody. He sure didn’t like that. He had gotten a taste for the attention with newspaper and radio interviews as well as his blathering on “Tucker Talks” videos.He got to sit there and act like he knows what he’s talking about (i.e. wind power) even though he clearly does not.
[At this point, every single campaign he touched had turned to shit: Chris Perri, Julie Oliver and his own (twice) with House 54 and Senate 24. He needed to aim smaller and get an easy win, right?]
So of course, he decided to run for Lampasas city council in February of 2021. This is when he appeared on my radar.He also ONCE AGAIN seemed to forget he was a rancher when he filed to run against Zac Morris – and listed his occupation as “political organizer.” May as well just put “loser deadbeat” with that title.
But hey, he got the address correct this time: mom’s house on Western Ave. Not some fake Killeen bullshit address.
Now he laid the “rancher” bullshit on thick again. He tried some “good-old-boy” connections to paint himself as a long-time local. In reality, he only moved to Lampasas around 2016. Hell, I’VE lived here longer than him!!
Bob and Ree (Rosalee) Wright are his grandparents on his mother’s side. THEY are the ones who own the “ranch” where Comrade Clayton goes to pretend at being a rancher – out on CR 2001.
In just 20 months, he had transformed from Bernie Bro, baseball-cap wearing, tuba-playing nerd to a good old boy in a cowboy hat and ranch wear who was a “salt of the earth” rancher! Amazing!
Clearly, being elected to real office in rural Texas is never going to happen. To be elected, you need two of three things: (1) looks and connections (Gavin Newsom, Justin Trudeau) (2) a shit ton of money (Perot, Trump, Bloomberg) and (3) be a very charming/smooth talking bullshit artist (Clinton, Obama).
Clayton possesses NONE of these. So he’s fucked. On top of it all, he’s a midget. That’s four strikes and you’re out.
He can’t move to Austin with the other commies because his parents don’t own a house there for him to live in. What to do next with his failed life?
We’ll see in Part III of The Clayton Tucker Fraud.
Another scalp for my collection. I offer up these collections of facts for any future electoral opponents this socialist may go up against.
I guess now that he is moving on to the “big leagues” with things like trips to Seattle to get in on the Global Warming Grift (and the creation of a new Texas Bluebonnet PAC to take advantage of the grift), Clayton Tucker SDEC-24 (and Chairman of the Lampasas Democrats) needed to cover his past lies like a cat burying his turds.
Like the fact he has been lying about being a farmer, a cowboy and a rancher for many years now. If I were a member of the Lampasas Democratic Party, and this serial liar was my chairman, I’d be pretty embarrassed, indeed.
First, he has changed his headlines from “Rancher” to “Ranching and Politics” – which might not sound like a big deal to someone who is not a weasel and a scumbag. But it is a big change: RANCHER is a noun. As in “I am a rancher!” – but now we have a verb up there…RANCHING. Which is nice and vague.
Here is how he posed for the last few years – as a “rancher” and a “cowboy”:
Here is the NEW headline:
Note that the lie about being a “water researcher” has been removed as well. As have the stupid pronouns.
This is because “rancher” sounds like a real job you can actually be pinned down on with easily-obtained evidence. You’d need to own land (public records) and be listed as a company owner somewhere (public records) and show revenue and stuff – you’d leave a trail of livestock sales somewhere on-line. It’s VERY easy to prove that Comrade Clayton does none of this – and I have done so repeatedly.
When he created his fake-rancher persona a few years ago, he never figured any dipshit liberals or Austin commies would question it. And he was right. But then along comes Lampasshole and blows it all up for him.
NOW, he’s just a “rural dude” who has a minor interest in, like, “ranchin and politickin” and stuff. You know – he heads over to Grandpa Bob’s land and sometimes mows the lawn a little bit or takes a picture with a goat. Nothing too serious, dude! Just a rural dude, kickin it! What? I never said I was a “RANCHER” – no, no…you must have misunderstood. I just live out in an area where there is a lot of “ranching” going on and I mingle with those people a bit. My grandpa owned some cows and stuff. Some “ranching” may have occurred on this land 40 years ago. Who knows? Nothing too serious. I clearly don’t make a living off of it.
See the difference? Subtle but very important to his future grifts. I have permanently marked him a liar all over the Internet and he needs that to go away somehow. He’ll stick with this “ranching and politics” crap for the next few years and hope the rest fades away. It’s about as subtle as his ridiculously transparent “hat trick” he used to do a few years ago:
Secondly and thirdly: he changed his resume dramatically and removed all mention of being a rancher. He also changed his LinkdIn page to “Clayton T.” instead of “Clayton Tucker” like it used to be. Now why would you do that, Comrade? Did you think you’d be harder to find and link back to your past lies? Fat chance….
Let’s look at his NEW resume as of today 8/13/23, which makes zero mention of being a rancher….like his old one did.
So – as of this moment, ZERO mention of being a rancher ANYWHERE on his ridiculously long (yet short-on-real-accomplishments) resume. It is simply not there. He is clearly trying to distance himself from his lies now. If you were a REAL rancher running a REAL ranch and were a FIFTH-GENERATION RANCHER as he has claimed repeatedly, you’d think that might be the meat (pun intended) of your resume. You’d be wrong.
Let’s look at the very FIRST resume he had up in March of 2021 as he ran for City council and listed his occupation as “political organizer” for a communist organization.
Again – no mention of rancher.
He also made a typically huge blunder in 2018 by AGAIN forgetting to mention he was a rancher in a book blurb:
Oooooh! World Traveler! I’m guessing a relative died and paid for that junket. Or mom did. See, he arrived in Lampasas around 2016 according to the Dispatch article written when he tried to slip into a vacant council seat in 2017.
He worked as “Statewide Coordinator for Our Revolution” starting in 2018, according to multiple resumes…so this blurb with the pachyderm HAD to be written in 2018 or 2019….which is the SAME time he claims to have been a rancher in Fake Resume #2. Yet makes no mention of it in the book blurb either! How very odd.
Part II coming next: a definitive timeline of Clayton Tucker’s lies about his Fake Rancher Persona. I’m creating this as a gift to any future opponent Clayton Tucker has when he runs forany position at all.
Umm, no sugar. The skate park was NOT “fundraised” with “private funding” – that was the nonsense they told us to get the ball rolling. In the end, Wings of Eagles raised about $5,000, maybe. The City paid close to $400,000 – so the “fundraising” part of it was about 1% of the total bill.
Hostess House now $2.15 million, btw – 62% increase.
Parks and Rec SHOULD ignore you. There is no way in hell the City is going to shell out ANOTHER $150,000 or so because you are too lazy to put on a hat or wear sunscreen. HEB won’t either. Money doesn’t grow on trees, dear. I know libtards like yourself THINK it does. But that is a falsehood.
Such is the call of the retarded socialist myna bird who lives with his mom.
Wrong. There were no outages last winter and there are none now. That is DESPITE WAY too many liberals moving to Texas and plugging in their Tesla Fagmobiles. The grid is still kicking ass. I have my AC cranked up full blast right now.
Where is the socialist douchebag right now? Is he admitting he was completely wrong? No. Probably sitting in mom’s upstairs bedroom with the thermostat set at 68, jacking off to Bernie Sanders Tweets.
Finley deGraffenreid: “Hey, we HAVE to give these poor people a 5% raise to keep up with inflation!”
Also Finley: “What’s that? They are ALREADY avoiding a huge dose of 13% inflation in health insurance (a major cost for most people in the real world) because they are covered by the City? Yeah, I don’t count that.”
According to City Finance Director Moreno:
“The City has received its annual renewal rates from Scott & White Health Plan for FY 2023/2024. The proposed rate is 13% higher than the current rate.”
Hey wait! the democrats commies keep telling me the inflation rate is only 3%! Which is very weird because the bastards at Progressive just hiked my auto rate this week by 21% despite ZERO accidents ever and no tickets in over 25 years!
Just to give you a sample of some of the new and old rates taken from Moreno’s numbers (page 9):
Old rates for 2022/2023: employee insurance costs $1,348.69[City pays $969.61 and employee pays $398.88]
New rates for 2023/2024: employee insurance costs $1,548.58[City pays $1,110.32 and employee pays $438.26]
You’ll notice from the numbers given, that the “employee” portion only goes up 10% while the “CITY” portion goes up 14.6%. The entire rate jumps $200 a month but the City (meaning YOU, the taxpayer) covers $160 of that increase while the employee only covers $40.
Very cool deal to only pay $438 a month for insurance worth $1,548 a month. That benefit is worth $13,320 to the employee – and they probably don’t even realize or appreciate it.
But remember: this is to be IGNORED during discussions about City employee compensation over the next few weeks.
P.S. Employees also get Vision and Dental. The Dental premiums will go up 5% and vision unchanged.
P.P.S. – Employees also get a 2-1 match on retirement contributions. If Finley/Ryan/Stacey/Monica etc contributes $7,000, the City then chips in $14,000 from the taxpayer. That way, $7,000 becomes $21,000. But that pension is received in the future – so THAT benefit doesn’t really count either, right?
Well, one name rang a bell with me as I was reading through….
Grassroot Nation….Grassroots Nation. Where have I heard that name before??
Oh yeah! It’s one of Comrade Clayton’s many shell companies located at 208 S Western Ave in Lampasas – his mom’s house.
Grassroots Nation has NOTHING to do with the environment. It’s just Comrade Clayton’s LLC he uses for the “business” of doing social media for other clients – clients like Red Thunder (his dad’s truck he rents out for pictures), Pontiac Plus (his dad’s car parts store – you know, his dad the 4th generation rancher), Clayton Tucker SDEC (he hired himself to run for SDEC-24 TX – an unpaid position), Lampasas Democrats (of which Clayton is Chairman – he hired himself for $0.00 AGAIN), Texas Progressive Caucus (ANOTHER of Clayton’s non-profits, consisting only of himself) where he hired himself AGAIN.
Speaking of Texas Progressive Caucus and Lampasas Democrats, they ALSO appear as two of the 234 signers….
And what else do we see up there??? The TEXAS BLUEBONNET PAC!
I stumbled across the Bluebonnet PAC last week and wondered what in the hell he was up to. It was just formed 3 months ago and has no on-line presence or purpose. But there they are! One of the 234 signers of the letter for “climate action” – posing as an “environmental group” that actually knows anything about anything.
So, with one stroke of the pen, grifter Clayton Tucker signed for: Lampasas Democrats (who likely have no idea they signed it), Grassroots Nation (his LLC that has zero to do with the environment), Texas Progressive Caucus (a group where he is the SOLE member of the organization) and the Texas Bluebonnet PAC – which was conjured out of thin air just 100 days ago.
Talk about a convoluted, inbred, circle jerk to make yourself look like you matter. Jesus Christ.
If this kid spent HALF as much time working a real job and learning a real skill as he did grifting and forming bullshit non-profits in order to grift more, he could easily afford his own place and move out of mom’s house.
Alas, he’s a grifter. That means that even mom gets ripped off with his scams.
Clayton Tucker SDEC-24 TX (and Chairman of the Lampasas Democrats) is trying to fully hop in on the global warmingclimate change climate chaos grift. Now that Covid is over, Ukraine has lost the war, and Comrade Clayton has realized he’ll never be elected to anything in the real world, he needs a new bandwagon to jump on and try to grift his way upwards.
Wow! Two hundred and thirty-four environmental groups signed a letter! That sure sounds impressive! Those groups are probably run by super-smart scientists and have, like, millions of members and stuff!
Um, not exactly. As it turns out, they are all grifters, small-time Facebook groups and FOUR of the “signers” are shitty little non-profits created by or headed by Comrade Clayton HIMSELF!
We’ll get to that later.
Let’s take a look at some of the “environmental groups” that signed this important letter. This may be Comrade Clayton’s most audacious grift yet. Even bigger than publicly lying about being a rancher/farmer/cowboy for the last four years.
I can’t possibly cover every one of these groups but I chose a few at random and looked them up. Every one of them is a grift unto itself.
Extinction Rebellion? This is one of the few signatories I have heard of. Notice how they count the five different chapters as five different groups signing their letter? They do this a lot. So maybe 3 groups signing turns into 43. Typical grifter bullshit to pad the numbers. Like this:
One group becomes sixteen!
[See how one group (350.org) becomes TWENTY-TWO signatures! Oh, and 350.org is so far left they want to COMPLETELY ban all fossil fuels. I wonder how they’ll grease their pinwheels without oil? This organization is a MAJOR grift– the kind that takes millions in government grants, hands out a few hundred thousand to other groups, and then spends TEN MILLION in “salaries and wages” for their directors – see Part IX line 7]
Extinction Rebellion are the morons you see on TV all the time doing stupid shit like throwing paint on the Mona Lisa or gluing their hand to things. These are young kids and moron cult members who are dangerous zealots. Picture guys whiter and more privileged than Clayton Tucker but with a man bun and gauge earrings.
Douglas County Global Warming Coalition? A tiny group of Oregon nuts with only 528 followers on Facebook. They are supposedly a non-profit but do not show up on any list that I could find.
Families for a Livable Climate? Another tiny group in Montana (566 followers) – if you brose their webpage, you’ll find a lot of fat, ugly chicks with purple hair, she/her pronouns and armpit hair. There is no non-profit information filed for them either, but at least they show up in a search. This means a tiny, pissant organization of zealots. Not real scientists.
Starting to get the picture? This is how a very small group of nutjobs, grifters and little boys who live with their moms ends up foisting retarded and sure-to-fail policies on all 330 million of us. You ever wonder who the asshole is who came up with banning gas stoves? He is some clueless asshole somewhere in D.C. who is just another Clayton Tucker – he knows nothing, has no brains and has just brown-nosed and grifted his way into a position that shouldn’t even exist.
Part II coming next – where we expose all of Comrade Clayton’s non-profit groups who signed this tripe.
Yet another global warming nut job flying all over the place to blabber about global warming and how the rest of us shouldn’t fly all over the place because it’s bad for the planet.
So in a sense, Clayton Tucker SDEC-24 TX (and chairman of the Lampasas Democrats) is just like John Kerry.
Well, maybe if Kerry were two feet shorter, had a lot less money, lived with his mom and was attracted to men. But other than that, the point holds: he’s a fucking hypocrite.
Gee Comrade, what about that carbon footprint you left flying 2,000 miles to Seattle and 2,000 miles back again? According to one of those gay carbon calculators I just found online, you are responsible for 1,220 pounds of CO2 being emitted….
I can’t decide if Comrade Clayton is stupid enough to go online and purchase “carbon offsets” from some scammer like Al Gore to assuage his liberal guilt. On the other hand, he’d have to ask mom for the money and she might not go for that level of insanity.
You’re telling me that SEATTLE, of all places, doesn’t have enough useless commie parasites to run around screaming about global warming? They need to import some fupa sloth from Texas who knows nothing about international trade, economics, or energy policy and who lives with his mom at age 32?
Yeah right.
Or MAYBE (more likely) he did what he got so angry at Ted Cruz for doing in February of 2021: ran away from this heat and drought like a pussy and went to cooler climes. I wonder who ran the “ranch” for the entire time he was gone. I guess mom put water in a trough for the 18 goats. Must be a rough job he has “ranching” if a 60-year-old lady can do it for him while he’s away.
See, when TED (who represents us at the federal level – NOT the state level) “runs away” to Cancun, he’s a coward and shirking his duties – even though there was absolutely nothing Ted Cruz could do about a 100-year freeze. I sure didn’t expect him to keep my water well thawed or my fireplace filled with wood. Because I am not a pussy who relies on government to do everything for me.
But when CLAYTON runs away to Seattle and ignores HIS PERSONAL (supposedly) goats and donkeys and other “critters” and his mom has to go out and do his chores for him, that is just fine. No problem with that.
See how it works??
So the question is: hypocrite or pussy? I’m going to go with “both.”
Lampasas was down for the third month straight – this time DOWN 2.13% over last July [row 585 as always]. Receipts fell from about $263,500 down to $258,000.
[For comparison, LAST July, sales tax receipts were UP 11% YoY compared to July 2021.]
What a perfect time for a business to move into the Business Park! I’m sure LOTS of businesses are looking to expand or start up in this environment! Any day now….
