I never joined Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat or any of the others as I didn’t want to support the libtards running them. Hell, I swore off Apple products in 2003 because they stuck Al Gore on their board of directors. Plus they suck and their phones are for girls.
But NOW we have a competitor to Twitter called Parler. I created an account today and will be posting ‘parlays’ (?) when the mood strikes. Tonight is opening night with the City council meeting.
And just like that – the rioting and looting has ceased overnight. Now, the half of the country that pummeled America like a battered wife, calling them racist pigs, nazis and deplorables, is telling her to put on sunglasses, hide her black eye, be a good girl, and “come together as one.”
I doesn’t matter how big of a moron you are, if you are a “female of color” the news media and the average libtard like Stephanie Fitzarris or Bruce Haywood will gush over how smart and articulate and beautiful you are. Like they did with Michelle Obama.
Kamala Harris likely has an IQ of around 91 and slept her way to the top, but we’ll be hearing for the next 4 years what an absolute GENIUS she is. Even if she is completely clueless about American history:
Didn’t she break a glass ceiling at Willie Brown’s place with her high heels? Oh wait…that was a MIRRORED ceiling.
Anyways, take a moment to refresh your memory about local locust and failed ‘life coach’ Janet Yoder Kraeff-Crozier (Thunberg) and her ridiculous “community garden” idea. I’ll wait here while you go re-read the post and get up to speed:
Well, apparently City council thinks this is a great idea and is prepared to throw money at it. According to the packets for the 11/9/20 City council meeting tomorrow [page 9, Section 4]:
“The City shall provide, install and maintain, at City expense, Security Lighting for the Garden, in the locations shown on Exhibit A” [note – I could not find ANYTHING labeled ‘Exhibit A’ in the packets]
Furthermore:
“The City shall hire, at City expense, a qualified electrical contractor to connect the Security Lighting installed by the City to the City power supply”
Can’t wait to see what THAT costs. Also, don’t forget that the entire agreement between the City and the Garden needed to be drawn up by the City’s attorney Jo-Christy Brown…and she doesn’t work for free! In October ALONE, Jo-Christy Brown billed the City $15,907.50 for “general matters” (pages 40 and 45). I wonder how much of that was wasted on this idiotic gardening contract. It boggles the mind.
But I have a few obvious questions:
Why in the hell do they need security lighting?? Are you going to be gardening at midnight or are you worried someone is going to jump the fence and steal your radishes? I’ve got news for you: deer, raccoons, squirrels, possums, mice and rats will be doing FAR more damage to you than any mischievous meth head.
You’d think the City might be a little more concerned about the rash of recent vandalism at all the (very expensive!) public restrooms than a sad plot of dirt belonging to Janet Yoder Thunberg..
Why are you paying an outside contractor to hook up a simple security light? You’re telling me that with all the electricians on the City payroll, nobody knows how to do that? Hell, I’ll bet you $100 right now that Rickie Roy could get that job done in 45 minutes with his eyes closed and then yell “Go Badgers” just for good measure.
Oh…and “pest control” will also be the City’s problem, according to the agreement. So when these hippies build their compost pile (and fail to maintain it properly) and attract raccoons, possums and rats from all over the area, then it is the CITY’S problem. LOL.
God, I cannot WAIT to watch this whole thing get halfway built and then implode. Just to warn you nitwits, I’ll be down there a LOT next spring leaning on the fence and watching this whole disaster take place. I’ll also comb through your non-profit “Community Garden” tax fillings with a fine-toothed comb so I can do a cost-benefit analysis of this stupidity. I am stunned that ANYBODY would give this idiot a penny for this. She has absolutely not idea what she is doing – that much is clear to me.
Best case scenario: Janet and the City spend about $15,000 between them setting this thing up, and produce about 20 pounds of veggies before it all gets overrun with weeds and nobody bothers with it anymore. That works out to about $750/lb for veggies you can get at HEB for about $1.50/lb. Compared to the ROI on the ‘business park’ project, that is an incredible deal!
Mark my words. I’ve been involved with helping to build a “community garden” before and it was a total disaster. This will be too.
Unsurprisingly, libtards are vehemently against any type of transparent and fair standard national system for elections. I wonder why that is:
Potato Head doesn’t trust it! That’s rich. Sorry, but these are FEDERAL elections that affect all of us – so a nationwide standard and OPEN SOURCE CODE for counting software is a must…as is PHOTO ID and PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP.
[Ironically, Potato Head’s mental health evaluations (no doubt conducted by quacks of her choosing) would have screened out Dementia Joe years ago. But I digress]
Because it benefits them, of course! Every time a common-sense standard is brought up, libtards scream “disenfranchisement! Voter suppression!”, which is of course, nonsense and easily debunked (I’ll do that in a moment).
The fat lib-slob pictured above should have never been able to pull that scam off.
“We the people” trusting political parties to administer their own elections and count their own votes is like shepherds trusting wolves to perform the lamb census. This is painfully obvious when you stop and think about it. Yet decade after decade, we do nothing. Why?
I was once speaking to a hospital CEO about all the regulations they had and how they made no sense. He said something profound that stuck with me: “you have to understand, it’s not like this because people are idiots. It’s like this because someone wants it this way.” [see: Miss Piggy Fitzharris above]
This is true of the US electoral process as well. We are the richest, most technologically advanced country in the history of the humanity. Does literally ANYONE believe that if we put our minds to it, we could not create an accurate, verified, real time voting system?
Of course we could. But even any baby step in this direction is met with avalanches of resistance and outlandish accusations [see: Miss Piggy, above]. It’s very obvious that the vested interests do not want to see the system change. And why would they? They control the current system.
The bigger and more powerful government becomes, the more corrupt it becomes. Coercive power draws corruption like strawberry jam draws ants.
Gato’s Law: “as soon as you allow politicians to determine what is bought and sold, the first thing bought and sold will be politicians”.
Election fraud has been with us for ages, almost certainly from the very beginning. The question has never even been “if” we have it, but “how much?” and “did it flip the results?”
Many seem to argue that it does not affect outcomes. I find this line of reasoning ridiculous.
Of course election fraud affects outcomes. Why would anyone go to the trouble and the risk if it didn’t? You can go to jail, get barred from politics or have an election nullified if you get caught. So why would anyone do it, over and over, if it did not affect outcomes? [see: fat lib-slob above. The second one]
These are not people shoplifting for the thrill of it. These are well run, experienced political machines that know exactly what they are doing and have institutional knowledge about how to pull and to keep the levers of power.
It is time for this to end. If we’re going to have elections, then we need to have real ones and the technology to do it is readily available. This starts with real voter ID.
[Potato Head Fitzharris and her ilk, take note of the following:]
Voter ID is a fake controversy. It does not “suppress voting.” Puerto Rico has incredibly strict voter ID. You have to get a special photo ID to vote from a voter registration office. It’s a laminated, hologrammed ID. It takes 2 forms of ID and proof of residence to get.
You go down to the office, show them your ID and your social security card/passport and your proof of residence. People from 3 different parties all handle part of your application and keep watchful eyes on one another.
You need this card to vote, you can only use it in one place, and they check it against a picture of the card and, thus, your face. You sign on the line next to it then get sprayed with UV ink to prevent multiple voting (they scan you when you come in).
THIS is what a serious system looks like.
…and yet Puerto Rico has some of the highest voter turnout in the US despite being one of the poorest places. Voting is not suppressed. This is a baseless claim made by morons [see: Potato Head Fitzharris] with no evidence or even plausibility. Those making it are just trying to keep access to fraud and fiddling.
But even this is not good enough. We need a whole system to make voting work and count properly and it’s really not that hard to design in the age of public key cryptography. Voter ID needs to come with a private key. You can store it on the card and create real verification.
Then, we need a system to administer the election. But who can we trust to design it and run it?
NOBODY.
Luckily, that’s exactly what we can use. This whole system needs to be open source and auditable by anyone…UNLIKE the current bullshit “black boxes” our politicians like.Do you understand that, Potato Head “I don’t trust it” Fitzharris??? That is the LITERAL definition of a system you can trust. Open source and auditable! We can do that too:
We need an open contest to design this open source system. All code to be published, audited, and compared. This is how all good encryption schemes work. You’d never trust closed source encryption.
Put a nice big $1 million dollar bounty on the win to bring the best of the best to the contest.
Then you keep a standing bug bounty where anyone who can break it or tamper with it gets paid a pile of dough. Make it safe by paying handsomely for people to constantly check it for flaws.
Look how well things like Apache web server work. This is a tried and true plan.
It’s a plan EVERYONE can trust – even Potato Head – because it’s code everyone can see and a system designed by top security people to withstand scrutiny and verification.
We need this. We could easily have it in 4 years, possibly 2. Once you see it, it seems obvious, no?
This current goat rodeo is going to become the norm if we do not do something. This sort of system is real, verifiable voting outside the control of the vested interests.
So, I challenge team donkey and team elephant to agree to this and sign on. Make it happen. Michelle Obama is yapping about “healing the nation” after this election clusterfuck? Implementing a fair and TRANSPARENT national standard would be a huge step towards that.
If they won’t implement such a system, I WANT TO HEAR WHY!
Giving lip service to free and fair elections then resisting the development of a system to ensure them and take the corruption out will be tough to defend.
We the people need to demand this or we the sheep are gonna get fleeced. Again.
The number of lockdown Puritans having giant celebration parties is…interesting
Remember:these are the EXACT SAME scared rabbits who HAD to have (fraud-ridden) mail-in ballots because they were too scared to stand in line next to a few people to votein person. Yet here they are….crammed in like sardines.
Hey! I think I see Stephanie “Miss Piggy” Fitzharris in there with a stupid Commie-La Harris t-shirt trying to make out with a he/she/zhe/they trans/BLM/binary/commie/pinko/Antifa college idiot.
Odd indeed.
CNN called Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation in the Rose Garden – where 100 people were masked and sitting 6 feet apart – a “Super-spreader event”
That same CNN was cool with THOUSANDS of liberals slobbering all over themselves in the streets for Biden yesterday.
Whatever you think of Trump’s fraud claims, the idea that Russia colluded with Trump to rig our election is far more absurd and yet it was promoted by every Democrat and every liberal media outlet nonstop for four years.
Well, one benefit of delaying City council elections was a massive increase in voter turnout. That turnout was not good for soon-to-be-former Goldfish Chuck Williamson, who was beaten like a red-headed stepchild by Gordon Nelson.
Nelson 1527 votes (61%)
Williamson 966 votes (39%)
I’d have to go back and check, but I think Nelson just got more votes than Misti Talbert got COMBINED in her last two elections
[*UPDATE* Fact check – true. Misti ran unopposed in 2017 and was thus gifted the mayoral position. In 2019 she received 543 votes]
Other good news: Bob Goodart defeated Zach Taylor for the Place 5 election to City council 1306 to 1154.
Why do I care about this? Since the Lampasas Dispatch never asked either candidate about their thoughts on the LEDC ‘Business’ Park boondoggle, I requested their positions myself. The Dispatch was very helpful in this regard. The response? Well, Zach Taylor never responded to me. Bob Goodart responded quickly…and he is NOT a fan!
Here is Bob’s statement on the ‘business’ park. Maybe we’ll have some 6-1 votes now instead of council rubber stamping everything without dissent:
“The business park has been a colossal waste of money to this point. The citizens of Lampasas voted to not buy the property, but then the City Manager, Mike Talbot managed to purchase the property through the Lampasas Economic Development Corporation, which is funded by the City of Lampasas.”
“The park sat for years until the decision was made to bring utilities to the park, to entice businesses. The cost to taxpayers was over 1 million dollars to bring water, sewer and electric to the property. Those utilities have sat idle for at least 5 or 6 years. I have now heard there is a plan in the works to build roads inside the park to attract business. So millions more will be spent to sit idly by until when?”
The return on investment on this property will be measured in decades instead of years at best. The best way I know to recoup any money out of this deal would be to sell it to a developer for a housing development, but the City will still lose money on it. No major business wants to build here because we are too far from the interstate, we don’t have a rail head, we don’t have the workforce to sustain it and we don’t have the things that are attractive to those businesses, such as hotels and restaurants and housing. It is my opinion it should be sold to recoup some of the money or at the very least, stop throwing money into it, until there is a firm commitment from a major business to come there.
I guess Texans don’t like whiny New York bitches telling them how to run their state?
Amazing. These three clown horns PLUS Bloomberg PLUS Soros all throwing money to turn Texas blue. Yet none of them live here! They are all parasites and locusts who destroy economies then move on to the next prosperous area.
FIVE New York Jews throwing money at Texas. What are the odds? Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Five times? That’s enemy action.
I’ve got an idea: you dummies stay in the cesspool called New York City and I’ll stay here in Texas and we just leave each other alone. I promise I’ll never set foot in your dump again. Sound good? You can have a bunch of our lib dummies too – like Haywood, Fitzharris and Michelle D Moore-Rodriguez.
