Lampasas was UP 5% – and is now basically flat (+0.63) YTD compared to last year.
Burnet: UP 0.31%
Marble Falls: DOWN 3.14%
Dallas: UP 0.15%
Austin: FLAT
This is the first time in forever I remember Lampasas beating EVERYONE! The weird thing is,our economic development director “resigned” last month and this is the first report since that happened. Coincidence?
The only thing that would make this scene better is if a bunch of commie soy boy Gen Z pussies like Harry Sisson, Clayton Tucker and Cade Hilgenberg Snyder were swimming in a panicked manner in front of this patriotic armada about to be chopped into fish bait.
Meanwhile, Biden is eating his pudding and getting ready for beddie bye time. His idiot supporters are fighting with each other over whether he should stay in. Even The Meathead himself, Rob Reiner, is now turning on him.
The left is eating themselves alive over this. I love it. I wasn’t going to drink today but this calls for a nice tall vodka and some smoked chicken I just pulled off the grill.
Whoops. It appears that maybe Comrade Clayton has his eyes set on running for Texas Ag Commissioner in 2026. He has formed a brand new shell company for grifting called Food & Farm Action. One of the fellow members is former Ag commissioner Jim Hightower – with whom Tucker has had a long-term, very weird old man/boytoy relationship.
Unfortunately, the very first thing Comrade Clayton did was to slander current Ag Commissioner Sid Miller on his website:
Why does this idiot capitalize “greedy few” all the time?
How exactly does Sid “hand kickbacks” to companies? That’s a pretty serious accusation against a fairly powerful guy. Sid is almost 70 years old but I have no doubt he could still kick the shit out of a soy boy like Clayton Tucker in a cage match. I’d even make him -400 to win that.
Clayton and Jim Hightower might want to be careful about leveling accusations of kickbacks against Miller. That is becauseduring Jim Hightower’s term as Ag Commissioner, three of Hightower’s aides at the Agriculture Commission (Mike Moeller, Pete McRae, and Billie Quicksall) were convicted on bribery charges related to procuring contributions to Hightower’s reelection campaign from seed dealers who were subject to the department’s oversight
Gee – a democrat accusing others of shit THEY THEMSELVES are doing? Sounds familiar.
I’m betting that Sid actually has proof to back up all of his own claims…unlike Comrade Clayton. Tucker has previously lied about being a cowboy, a farmer, and a fifth-generation rancher.
So we have a FAKE and PRETEND cowboy accusing a REAL cowboy and rancher of criminal activity (kickbacks) while in office! And he is teamed up with Hightower, who lost his seat to Rick Perry in 1990 due to corruption on the part of Hightower’s re-election campaign! You can’t make this up.
Wow. Not a good way to start your 2026 campaign for Ag Commissioner. I have a hard time even typing that with a straight face. If Clayton Tucker is elected Ag Commissioner in 2026, I’ll run down Key Avenue completely naked.
Local socialist and fake rancher Clayton Tucker (SDEC-24 TX) is busy once again explaining how inflation ISN’T the fault of massive government spending and money printing. According to him, it is all due to the greedy oligopolists!
Apparently, all these cartels formed right around January of 2021.
As usual, no sources are given for his ‘statistics’
Let’s pick those other ‘monopolies’ apart, one by one.
First we have meat. According to his stats, four companies control “55% to 85% of the meat market.” LOL. That’s a pretty wide spread of guesses. You could drive a truck through that. Is it 55% or is it 85%? Let’s say it IS 85%.
I’m guessing that having massive processing plants and thus economies of scale, make it cheaper in the long run to process these cows. I’m guessing that because when you buy meat DIRECTLY from real ranchers on-line (like HERE or HERE), it sure isn’t much cheaper. Slaughtering and processing cows is hard work. Hard work that pussies like Clayton Tucker have ZERO interest in doing.
You can also choose from a ton of on-line places that deal directly with rancher – like Moink. OR, you could head on down to the farmers’ markets and buy directly. But that is all too much effort for Comrade Clayton.
As a supposed cattle rancher, you’d think Clayton Tucker would be taking advantage of these higher beef prices (the U.S. cattle herd is the lowest it has been in over 70 years). You’d think he’d be churning out calves and have that website up and running to sell his “fifth generation” beef over at RX Ranch.
After all, as the old saying goes: the best cure for high prices is high prices. This is because “greedy” producers, acting in self interest, rush to take advantage of these high prices by producing MORE. Increased production increases supply which eventually lowers prices. This is the “invisible hand” Adam Smith talked about. It’s common knowledge to everyone but socialist shit heads like Comrade Clayton Tucker.
But Comrade Clayton is either too stupid or lazy to take advantage of these high beef prices. Seven months after telling his social media followers he was “currently building a website” to sell beef, there is still no website. He is too busy going to communist freak conventions where ‘men’ with fake tits give him lectures.
He’s also too busy raising goats – which is a path he unwisely took last year because “climate change” supposedly made it way smarter to raise goats instead of cattle. Of course, most of his goats are dying from parasites and vulturebuzzards (TM) because he is a neophyte when it comes to this stuff.
Bottom line: government regulations are certainly a factor in rising prices, as was the extremely dry weather a few years ago. But in a free-market system, REAL ranchers will respond to high prices by producing more. FAKE ranchers will sit around and make up fairy takes about monopolies.
How about that? A Texas Republican (Sid Miller) went to bat for the little guys and a Clinton-appointed Democrat scumbag dismissed the suit last August. Go figure!
Finley just can’t seem to catch a break. His “Economic Development Director” resigns suddenly after not doing jack shit for 18 months, the City pool is closed more often than not, and his beloved Hostess House “facelift” that was supposed to cost $200,000 is going to cost over $2.2 MILLION instead.
Don’t worry, though. He gets about $4,000 in salary and benefits every single week of the year with which to console himself. He’ll be fine.
This is a joke, right? This cannot be real. Or is she THAT deluded or clueless about what this day represents?
No, no, no, no. You are not allowed to jump on the Freedom bandwagon once a year and pretend you’re one of the good guys. Uh uh. You don’t get to spend your entire life on the side of tyranny and oppression and Big Government and then break out the BBQ and pretend to be one of us, you turd.
Reminder – this is the chick who:
Shat out a child who now lives in the communist mecca of Oregon and thinks “Communism rules”
Absolutely LOVES and supports Joe Biden – who has done more to destroy American freedoms than all other presidents combined, with the possible exception of FDR or Woodrow Wilson. Joe is the epitome of Big Government – forcing people into electric cars, stealing from one group to pay the student loans of deadbeats (illegally, I might add), forcing millions out of work when they refused the fake Covid ‘vaccine.’ He is the ANTITHESIS of freedom and liberty.
He even tried to jail his political opponent! He also weaponized the FBI and DOJ to de-platform ANYONE who questioned the Covid Cult narrative…
Called for more censorship and labeled any dissent about the untested ‘vaccine’ as ‘disinformation’ that should be banned…
Called for a sitting president to be JAILED because he had the nerve to suggest a medicine that might work for Covid (turned out, it DID). So much for that First Amendment!
Loudly cheered and supported BLM – a Marxist front group that used violence and Antifa goons to burn down cities and cause tens of billions in damage. All based on an easily-disprovable lie about “systemic racism” on the part of the police…
Oh, and she also supported a SELF-DESCRIBED SOCIALIST (Clayton Tucker) for Lampasas City Council!
If Stephanie Fitzharris were alive back in the 1770s, she would be a 100%, full-throated supporter of the crown and would be calling me a “selfish yahoo” for suggesting (in my 18th-century pamphlets) that America should be free to go their own way. She’d have King George’s cock halfway down her throat while asking for more. She’d be the one ratting out the Sons of Liberty for meeting at Memo’s and whispering of a revolutionjust like her kind ratted out anyone not wearing a mask a few short years ago.
No, Fitzharris – you do NOT get to celebrate Independence Day because authoritarian worms like you would have been fighting American independence from the crown every step of the way back in 1776. You should lock yourself in a dark house today and sit in the corner wearing a dunce cap, thinking about how wrong all of your life choices are and how you are complicit in the destruction of a great republic. Maybe even beg for some forgiveness.
Shrouded in secrecy, the origins of the Sons of Liberty are in dispute. Some historical sources claim that the movement began in New York City in January 1765. A more popular claim is that the movement began in Boston, Massachusetts through the leadership of one Samuel Adams (a well known American Revolutionary firebrand) in early 1765.
It is quite likely that the Boston and New York City chapters of the Sons of Liberty were organized and developed simultaneously. Tradition has it that the Boston chapter gathered beneath the Liberty Tree for meetings while the New York City chapter met beneath the Liberty Pole for its meetings. For reasons of safety and secrecy, Sons of Liberty groups tended to meet late at night so as not to attract attention and detection of British officials and the American Loyalist supporters of the British Crown.
These original committees were loosely organized groups of private citizens formed in the New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island colonies from 1763-1764. It was the Boston Committee of Correspondence that directed the Boston Tea Party action of December 16, 1773.
Upset with the lack of redress concerning the new tax on tea established by the British government for importation of tea to Boston, a small band of the Boston Committee of Correspondence members (approximately fifty in number) led by Samuel Adams, proceeded to empty three ships worth and 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor in protest. Was this an early terrorist action or a patriotic action? Surely, the answer lies with perspective. If you were a British official, this action was treasonous and punishable by death. If you were an American colonial citizen, this event would be seen as a glorious action of the freedom fighters worthy of praise, pride, and acclaim.
COOL FACT: Thomas Jefferson was 33 years old when he wrote the Declaration of Independence.
Young men with massive balls go ALL-IN and kick the British hornet’s nest…risking everything they had, including their lives.
Today in the year 2024? Here is a 33-year-old standing on a street corner demanding that the Federal Government (i.e. the modern-day British redcoats) steal from his fellow citizens so he can get ‘free’ health care and other ‘free’ stuff for himself. He lives in mom’s house. His friends in the background wear masks because they are scared of a cold virus. They are fat, soft and doughy – scared of their own shadows.
Absolutely embarrassing and depressing. I would like to apologize to Tom, Sam, Ben and the other Founding Fathers who gave us this magnificent Republic. I’m embarrassed at the number of socialist parasites and Marxist weasels who spend their time trying to destroy it.
I expect to see his name in the Dispatch obituaries any day now. Has anyone checked in on that poor deluded slob to make sure he hasn’t had an aneurysm??
Bruce has had to absorb a LOT of bad news the last week or so. But none so damaging to his health as the realization that Trump will NOT be going to prison, after all!
We are coming up on the TWO YEAR anniversary of the Mar-A-Lago raid (8/8/22). Bruce was overjoyed and expected Trump to be behind bars any second. Here are some of his posts from that week….
Bruce made himself look like an even BIGGER asshat by posting THIS just one month ago pertaining to the June 27th presidential debate:
Not only is Trump not behind bars, as depicted in this moronic cartoon, but the debate turned into the biggest political disaster in human history. Trump delivered a knockout blow that killed Biden’s chances at the presidency, his very dignity and his entire career. Here we are almost a WEEK later and Biden is STILL petrified to go on TV and talk without a teleprompter. He’s STILL staggering around punch-drunk and the entire nest of democrat rats is in complete disarray. Trump knocked him into next week!
Then came the Chevron Deference case, then came the immunity ruling, and now there will be no Trump sentencing on July 11th after all!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You fool!
And Trump will be your president for FOUR YEARS, you colossal shitbird! You make Stephanie Fitzharris look like a genius with all of your predictions.
