So, Communism It Is…

“…equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.” Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris

The central problem with this thinking is that you can’t force stupid people to be smart, or timid people to be bold. So to make everyone’s outcomes equal, the only way is to crush the smart and the bold, and thus remove all the benefits they bring to a society for everyone.

And THAT is why communism fails every time.

Of course, Kamala and AOC and the other parasitic worms will still have their private jets and mansions and gold-plated health care while the rest of us wallow in the mud. All thanks to morons like Stephanie Fitzharris, Bruce Haywood, Hubert Heath Humperdick and Michelle D Moore-Rodriguez.

ManWhalePig Still Doesn’t Get That Masks Do Nothing – Chooses To Insult “Rednecks” Who DO Understand This

I profiled local parade float Hubert Humperdick a while back. I pointed out his utter hypocrisy when it came to caring about his health. He is one of the most adamant maskholes around here and he’s at it again:

Ah yes…the “martyr argument”. I wear a mask because I am SUCH a good person. Look at me! Humperdick, you can go join the ranks of Melissa Johnson and Bruce Haywood now.

The big glaring error in his retarded comparison is that your flimsy, ill-fitting mask does NOT save lives and may ACTUALLY cause MORE viral spreading than wearing nothing at all!

Hubert is super smart, so he should know this. I KNOW he’s super smart because he was very, very proud of himself for getting a useless degree at age 39 recently:

Hey Hubert? Since you are SO smart, here are TWENTY FIVE STUDIES showing that masks are useless.

You might also read this in-depth study comparing counties WITH mask mandates with those WITHOUT mask mandates. The evidence is as plain as the chins on your face.

Also – please tell me why the local high school (where masks are mandatory for everyone) has exponentially more covid cases than Kline Whitis (where masks are relatively scarce).

I’ll let you chew on that a while, numb nuts.

Tis The Season For Giving…

It’s the season for giving and generosity, and I am no exception to that rule. It’s especially important to give to the less fortunate – like those humans who were born with a puddle of brown liquid where their cerebrum should be.

Last year, I gave the gift of Goldfish tree ornaments to City council in their $1.5 million goldfish bowl.

This year, I want to make sure local Covid Rat Julie Cain Landrum at Wool & Vine gets a special present. One she can use EVERY DAY. One that keeps her safe from the deadly plague. Something that is so airtight and functional that it DOESN’T MATTER if anyone else in HEB is wearing a mask. So you can mind your own business and stop ratting everyone out.

I give you…..the Narwall Mask:

Now Julie, I expect to see you wearing this at ALL TIMES! You can never be too careful, right? It’ll be delivered to your lemonade stand in the next few days with a nice bow on top.

Merry Christmas!

Keith McBurnett, Superintendent Of Burnet CISD, Is a Wildly Overpaid, Opportunistic, Worm-Filled Turd.

Is that too harsh? Nah. Not after what he did this week.

First, let me first explain that Keith McBurnett is a ladder-climbing, government bureaucrat who makes more in a month than the average person in Burnet makes in a year.

[Note: these are 2018 numbers. LARGE raises were doled out to EVERYONE in the government-run school systems in 2019. It is likely Keith’s new salary number is more like $187,000. Also, don’t forget the fat bennies – medical and retirement. For Lampasas City gov, that runs roughly 40% of salary. I’ll be kind and assume 30% – which gives us an adjusted total of $243,000 annually. I then divide that by nine (NOT 12) since they all get summers off and voila: Keith is likely pulling down $27,000 PER MONTH]

Back to the story…..

Keith McBurnett sent out a letter to Burnet parents this week informing them of the death of middle-school principal Jeremy LeJeune. In this letter, he explained that LeJeune “had long battled a rare blood vessel disorder that required hospital visits and admissions“.

So far, so good. The poor guy had some serious medical issues.

The next part is where Keith McBurnett makes his outrageous claims: and shows what a parasitic worm he really is:

This past weekend “LeJeune recognized that he needed to go to the hospital. As part of the routine admission process, he tested positive for COVID-19. Although he was asymptomatic, it is likely that the virus exacerbated his condition”.

“Likely exacerbated”?? Says who? Keith McBurnett the government bureaucrat? Absolutely outrageous. Hey Keith, just because you are a government parasite who is paid more than most medical doctors, that doesn’t make you one – you wormy turd. Laying this death at the feet of “Covid” is the worst type of opportunistic, weasel move I have seen in a while.

I’m sure the HOSPITAL that LeJeune had the misfortune to check in to was more than happy to code this “Covid” so they could get more money. Keith McBurnett is happy to do it for the same reasons. Making it look like your school is wallowing in Covid deaths is a fantastic way to scam more $$$ from the taxpayer.

Keith McBurnett’s moronic public assertion that this was a “Covid death” was, of course, grabbed by an even more moronic press and we end up with THESE types of bullshit headlines:

Multiply horseshit stories like this about 50,000 times nationwide and you have now created a “pandemic”. This poor LeJeune guy was NOT a healthy individual, by McBurnett’s own admission.

McBurnett then shut down the school and instituted remote learning – which we all know is a complete joke.

Burnet school system has had 13 students and 25 staff members test positive AND RECOVER from Wuhan Flu this year – ZERO DEATHS. Their school system is about the size of ours (roughly 3,200 students and 550 staff). In that regard, they are doing FAR better than our school system (roughly 71 total students and staff infected and recovered). Zero deaths in either school, I’ll remind you.

Yet he shut the school down over the death of a man who clearly had issues before Covid hit and was asymptomatic! Overpaid turd Keith McBurnett uses Mr LeJeune’s death as a political football and an excuse to rob hundreds of students of a proper education. Instead, letting them sit around in pajamas all day “remote learning”.

I bet every single gov employee still gets a full paycheck though, eh Keith? Let’s look at Keith’s priorities over the years – I don’t see much about “educating children” but I DO see a whole lot of money grabbing and ladder climbing out of this bureaucrat parasite:

“Historic pay raises” to his bloated administrative staff! Quite a legacy you have there, Superintendent Numb Nuts.

I’ll never understand why the teachers don’t pick up pitchforks and torches over these bloated administrative salaries and useless positions. If I actually spent my day teaching and had to see some pinhead bureaucrat sit around all day pushing paper and making FOUR TIMES more money than me, I’d be pretty steamed about it.

Looks like I have a new gov parasite to keep an eye on! Can’t wait til the new salaries are published for 2019. Should be a real eye-opener for us poor taxpaying saps.

P.S. – just an observation for the maskholes: if the unfortunate Mr LeJeune had pre-existing medical conditions AND worked in the school system, I have to assume he was RELIGIOUS about wearing a mask and washing his hands, correct? All the kids wear masks too…and everyone else. Remember? All the “I protect you and you protect me” bullshit?

Soooo…ummmm…..how did he catch the virus in the first place?

REAL Covid Recovery Rate

We’ve tested half of the entire state of Minnesota. We’ve tracked over 300,000 infected people. Throw out the covid models… we have the real data.

Survival rate outside of long term care = 99.90%

Under age 60 = 99.98%

Survival rate overall = 99.71%

[Estimate uses 4x actual infections to reported cases while actual CDC guidance is around 11x (6x-24x) – so these estimates are EXTREMELY conservative.]

In other words, for every “detected case” they are assuming 4 cases that were undetected – even though the CDC guides MUCH higher: more like 11 undetected cases for “every detected case”.

Lampasas county has supposedly seen 700 “cases”. That means a conservative estimate is 2,800 ACTUAL undetected cases and as many as 7,700 actual undetected cases, if CDC guidelines are used at 11x the detected rate.

[Undetected cases = all those people you know who are pretty damn sure they had this already back in Jan or Feb when we had a brutal ‘cold’ we couldn’t shake for 7-10 days. Coughing, short of breath, etc. I went through this myself between Feb 5th and the 15th after attending a huge tournament in San Antonio with people from ALL OVER – including NY and CA]

If you assume ALL of our “13 deaths” are legit and completely due to Covid virus ONLY and not co-morbidities (I don’t believe this, but let’s assume they are for the moment) – then we are looking at 13/2,800 as a VERY conservative case fatality rate – which means a 99.53% survival rate. Very close to the above rate for Minnesota (99.71%)

If we use the CDC estimate of 11x detected rates, then we get 13/7,700 CFR here in Lampasas which means a 99.83% survival rate here in Lampasas County.

From what I can determine from our shoddy and incomplete Covid reporting, at least 5 of those 13 were in long term care. Possibly half but with reporting so poor it’s impossible to tell. I’ll go with 5, meaning 8 deaths were outside LTC facilities.

So, very likely our survival rate OUTSIDE LTC is close to that Minnesota number of 99.90% (8 deaths/2,800 actual cases = 99.71% survival and 8/7,700 = 99.90% survival rate).

Amazing how the numbers for Minnesota and little old Lampasas seem to line up so well.

‘Mayor Transparency’ Strikes Again. City Attorney Stonewalls On ‘Business’ Park Debacle Emails

I’ve lost track of how many times the City has hired JC Brown (their high-priced attorney) to stonewall me on various issues. If I had to put a number on it, I’d say she’s milked the City for at LEAST $9,000 for all my requests she’s denied over the last 28 months.

That’s $9,000 of tax dollars wasted to keep a taxpayer from seeing truth, but who’s counting?

Anyways, I just got denied yet another time. After being stonewalled for asking for a copy of the Impact DataSource “study” of Eco-Turd and its owner – Mike Cour – I made a request for copies of any GOVERNMENT emails relating to the matter.

GOVERNMENT emails that belong to the taxpayer as they reside on GOVERNMENT servers paid for by the taxpayer. I pulled this same stunt in September of 2018 to get my hands on the Azbell Electronics documents relating to the $96,000 no-bid A/V disaster….and they had to cough them up back then.

Guess what they said this time?

I don’t mean to insult the esteemed Ms Brown, but these sound like the scribblings of a madwoman trapped in a refrigerator box, suffering from hypoxic hallucinations induced by inhaling too many of her own farts.

“Engage in negotiations”? Analyzing data?? LOL!! Who will be doing the ‘negotiating’, exactly? The same school of goldfish who have given away the farm in ALL of their previous “negotiations”? Like the following:

Paid $96,000 for a no-bid A/V system when they ALREADY had agreed to a $34,000 system from Broadcast Works.

Paid $220,000 for a building they PREVIOUSLY SOLD (less than 3 years earlier) to a private citizen for $75,000? (Old City Hall).

Paid $170,000 for a no-bid public bathroom at Campbell Park? OVER TWICE the price of an actual HOUSE that is a block from the bathroom.

Paid $128,000 for a shitty, problem-prone elevator from RKJ Construction at City Hall when they COULD HAVE only paid $96,000 to Austin Elevators.

Handed $72,000 in ‘free’ shit to Deorald Finney for his 69 houses he is building in the Stone Valley development.

Handed a ‘FREE’ $150,000 in tax dollars to fellow scumbag and former City council dummy ‘Greasy’ Chris Harrison for a detention pond at Brodie Estates.

They are SUCH amazing negotiators! I can see why you want to keep everything hush-hush. LOL. You make me laugh.

Who will be leading these ‘negotiations’, I wonder. Will it be Finley deGraffenreid? The man who has worked in government his entire life? Or perhaps Kathy Kuehne or Delana Toups – two council members who I’m pretty sure have never worked in the private sector either.

Maybe it’ll be Mandy Walsh…who has never started or run a business in her life, I think.

I can’t wait to see how the Goldfish ‘negotiate’ this amazing deal for the City. So far, their record is 0-6 according to my records. But I’m SURE it’ll all work out this time.

Right?

Sickness and Death Ticking Up Into Winter Months…As Has Happened For Thousands Of Years.

Deaths in the US follow a very predictable pattern – they are lowest in the summer and higher in the winter months. Pneumonia and influenza strike the old, weak and infirm the hardest….because as you get older and older you are more susceptible to everything as your body gradually breaks down. It’s called “entropy” in scientific circles…and we all face the same fate eventually.

This has been going on for thousands of years and even as recently as 2018 we had a VERY BAD flu year.

You probably didn’t know this because we didn’t have “health authorities” posting every single hospitalization and death on social media back in 2018. You went about your life as usual.

How to prepare (your graphs) for flu season - Graphically Speaking

Looking at the above chart, you could have stirred up some SERIOUS panic in 2018 by comparing deaths to the 2016 season. An unscrupulous muppet like Fauci could have had a FIELD DAY by playing with those stats.

In fact, after several “mild” flu seasons, we often have harsh ones as there is a lot of “dry tinder” (not to sound callous) in the form of a higher-than-normal number of elderly and infirm who made it through those years and are literally at death’s door waiting for a slight wind to blow them over.

We learned yesterday that we had our 13th (*maybe – some of the data is suspect and the “timelines not clear”*) ‘Covid’ death in Lampasas County. Not surprisingly, it was a male close to his average life expectancy for males.

[We are always told “in his 70s” which could mean 71 or 79. I don’t know why it’s so hard to give an exact age and shit like that makes me suspicious when they can’t be bothered to post it – so I’ll just go ahead and assume 78 since that is an average life expectancy.]

Certain mayors who already caught this “deadly plague” (and recovered easily) like to intimate that I have no compassion when somebody dies at the average life expectancy. In a sense, she is partially correct. About 7,400 people die EVERY SINGLE DAY in the US and I don’t know any of them. If I spent my day weeping over every single one, I would get nothing accomplished and I’d probably be committed to an insane asylum.

Yes, it sucks to lose a loved one and it will happen to ALL of us – Covid or no Covid. My cousin’s wife was struck down at the age of 35 by an aggressive brain tumor back in 2002. She left behind three kids all under the age of 10. THAT was tragic and heartbreaking. Unfortunately, it happens every day. You just don’t hear about it when it isn’t in your small circle of family and friends.

I think it is FAR MORE TRAGIC when young people die in preventable ways like car accidents. A teen aged kid causing a car wreck while texting and killing a young child in another car (this actually happened near here recently) is 1000 times more heartbreaking than a person passing away at or above average life expectancy from an upper respiratory disease.

Sorry if that sticks going down, but I think 99% of Americans would agree. While some people are busy wringing their hands over the elderly passing away in a manner that has statistically been happening for centuries, look what happened JUST in the last week or so:

Funny I didn’t hear anything about all THESE heartbreaking deaths from our mayor. Nor did I hear any calls to pray for their families. These are FAR more tragic and heartbreaking. I feel for these people having their loved ones’ lives snuffed out in their youth.

What people should REALLY ask for is a little perspective. For every ONE elderly ‘covid’ death that may or may not actually be influenza or pneumonia, there are literally dozens of tragic deaths of teenagers and young people in their prime.

As for our ludicrous “active case” count that jumps around all over the place, I could not care less if it’s 25 or 125 because the PCR test is complete and utter nonsense, as has been covered here repeatedly. The ONLY impact that number has is that it is foolishly used as gospel by “authorities” to keep us under their thumb with more and more draconian “virus abatement” measures like closing schools.
