Eco-Turd Demanded $1.85 Million In Tax Dollars a Few Years Ago. Now They Are Donating “Free” Fences To The City! WTF?!?

What a difference a few years makes!

Back around 2021, local slimeballs Mike Cour and Alan Champagne were trying to slither their way into the “Business Pork” and all the attached piles of free shit – including “free” land and a $1.75 million, 22,500 square-foot building!

After poor Mandy voided her bowels in shock, she and the entire LEDC realized they had been played for the last year and told Eco-Strong/Eco-Flex to pound sand, more or less.

[Don’t ask me to explain the financial/corporate/personal relationship between Eco-Strong and Eco-Flex. I cannot. Sometimes they seem interchangeable and sometimes seem to be separate entities, as you can see on the shitty Power Point page above. Eco-Felx is DEFINITELY a Canadian company and Eco-Strong is DEFINITELY (or was) some kind of offshoot hatched by Mike Cour]

But a funny thing happened after the Eco-Turds were denied any and all tax dollars: they went ahead and moved into a nice new building over on Pecan Street! A building built by Mike Irvin, by the way – who should DEFINITELY be replacing Misti Talbert as LEDC President any day now.

Now how in the world did they manage THAT? One day they are going hat-in-hand to the City for almost two million smackers, and soon after they somehow are up and running all on their own! My goodness! It’s almost like I was 100% right and they were looking to scam the City for free shit they didn’t even need.

Hell, Mike Cour was sitting on about 200 acres of his OWN LAND at the same time he was rattling his tin cup – something I pointed out repeatedly.

Fast forward a couple years and we see this on social media a couple days ago:

“Partners”? WTF does that mean?!

A bit odd that it is DEFINITELY “Eco-Flex” and NOT “Eco-Strong, Mike Cour’s racket.

I’ve seen this new wall for myself. It looks to be about 100 feet long – which is about a $10,000 gift, if their ridiculous $90-per-linear-foot prices are still accurate. Probably even more, given that concrete footer they have there.

But as all of us except Bruce Haywood and Clayton Tucker learned in second grade: there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. So why would Eco-Turd make this magnanimous gesture towards the City? What’s in it for them?

Tough to decipher. If there was some kind of “quid pro quo” (like, perhaps, we ‘give’ you this fence and you agree to buy a couple from us at full price next time *wink wink*) I’m not sure who they did the deal with. Finley will be gone in a month and word on the grapevine is that Dwight Schrute himself – Ryan Ward – is also going to quit soon.

So I guess we’ll see! Perhaps this is just to Eco-Turd can add a photo to their portfolio and show everyone how “in demand” their fences are. Look! Lampasas has one too! It’s awesome!

Massacre.

I’d love to say Tim Walz crumbled as badly as I thought he would, but he didn’t. Unfortunately for Tim, however, JD Vance put on a masterclass. He clearly operates on an entirely higher IQ level than Tim Walz. He made Tim look like a bumbling fool more than once. It wasn’t even close.

Last night was MUCH MORE than a debate. It was a contrast between the future of two parties. A youthful, intelligent, empathetic, substantive, pragmatic, inclusive, patriotic, and energetic Republican Party and an old, gray, weathered, unoriginal Democrat Party in denial and stuck in the past.

I am wondering though – how DID a “school teacher” and “football coach” afford to travel to China 60 times? I’ve never gone ANYWHERE 60 times…not even Belize. I’d sure love to hear Walz explain it.

I’m also wondering how he is “friends” with school shooters. He said that TWICE. Of course, no reporters will ever follow up on that statement.

Tim Walz at debate prep:

JD debated Tim Walz

And Vance kicked him right in the balls

Tim took a beating

His asshole is bleeding

He won’t return Harris’s calls

Summary of VP debate:

Union Douchebags Holding Ports Hostage. Where Is Clayton Tucker On This Important Issue? Writing Postcards For Kamabla.

Local socialist Clayton Tucker is ALWAYS on the side of “unions” – no matter if they are useless dirtbags like Randi Weingarten and her teacher union thugs or anyone else.

But he is completely silent on this one. Maybe because he knows if he sides with these port worker fuckers, he’ll be even more hated than he is now. So he keeps his yap shut.

I get that there is an eternal struggle between “greedy asshole” owners and “I’m always underpaid” labor and I’m sure there is truth to BOTH sides of that argument – which is why we have negotiations.

Of course, the lazy, overpaid scumbag union guy stereotype exists for a reason. I knew more than a few union electricians back in my Chicago days. They were at the bar most of the working day. Bunch of cunts.

That’s how it will always be. But the head of the longshoreman’s union just bragged how he would “cripple” the nation with this strike. Huge mistake.

Some blue collar guys are holding the rest of the blue collar in this nation hostage, so their union can make a little more money, which they’ll donate to the party who is importing the third world to replace them all. Hilarious!

Also, one of the union sticking points is “no automation” so that not a single job is ever lost to progress. Sorry buddy – the Chinese are eating our lunch and are probably TWICE as efficient as you twats are in getting goods moving through the ports. Take your big raise and accept the fact that the numbers of longshoreman scumbags is going to have to decrease in general as the years pass. Tough shit.

The port union is demanding total ban on the automation at 36 US ports “We do not believe that robotics should take over a human being’s job. Especially a human being that’s historically performed that job.”

By this logic, we would all still be farmers

Automation is coming. Just ask all the bank tellers replaced by ATMs, the elevator operators replaced by buttons, the travel agents destroyed by Travelocity, the stock brokers destroyed by TD Ameritrade, the old mafia bookies put out of business by Draft Kings, the Vegas blackjack dealers replaced by screens and hundreds of other examples.

You don’t get to be the exception and cost every single American billions of dollars because of your prohibition on any automation. Fuck you, man.

Too bad Reagan isn’t around. He’d fire all these dildos and get some new guys in there. Raise their pay, cut 20% of the positions due to automation and move on with life.

You can always go and be a fake rancher like Comrade Clayton….and waste your time writing postcards to morons.

Tonight Will Make The 1992 Stockdale VP Debate Look Tame By Comparison. Will Hand Election To Trump.

If you’re an old fart like me, you remember the most disastrous debate performance EVER. It was even worse than Biden back in July.

That would be that poor bastard Admiral James Stockdale – Perot’s VP pick.

Perot was supposed to name a permanent VP but never did. Seven months later, with almost zero notice or preparation, the 68-year-old Stockdale literally stood at center stage at the vice presidential debate, with Dan Quayle and Al Gore off to the sides. His first words were, “Who am I? Why am I here?”

It went downhill from there. What followed would turn Stockdale into a “Saturday Night Live” punchline and make him the political version of Bill Buckner: Two people who excelled at their careers, followed by one high-profile gaffe that would land at the top of their obituaries.

I foresee Tim Walz, the semen-drinking, prancing, arm-flapping moron having an even worse time tonight. He’s going to be like Steve Buscemi getting jammed into the mulcher in Fargo:

It will be enough of a beat down that it will give Trump a huge bump. Between the port strike, Kamabla’s terrible hurricane response and people’s continuing anger about inflation and billions going to Ukraine, I am now convinced that TRUMP WILL WIN THIS ELECTION – DESPITE all the cheating we know will take place.

I’m putting my marker down here – five weeks from today. Trump will be victorious. Liberal heads will explode. It will be glorious.

Socialist Lickspittle Thanks D.C. Overlords For Handing SOME Tax Dollars Back To State.

Clayton Tucker would have made a great feudal serf. He would have handed over all his grain to his lord and then thanked him when the lord threw a handful back onto the cow-shit-covered ground for Clayton to pick up and eat while profusely thanking the lord and licking his boots.

Then he probably would have watched the lord bang his wife and thanked him for showing him how to make a woman cum.

Just kidding – we all know he’d be incapable of growing any grain (or securing a wife) in the first place and would likely be working for the king as a eunuch tax collector. Because he’s a parasite. It’s in his blood. Even his fellow parasites are congratulating him on sponging off his parents!

So to recap:

Texas citizens hand over hundreds of billions in federal gas taxes, income taxes, estate taxes, capital gains taxes, and all sorts of other taxes.

Then a bunch of lazy, D.C. parasites (who STILL mostly “work” from home) skim billions of that for themselves. These are the know-nothing, shit bird Clayton Tucker types populating the EPA, DOE, etc. They add zero value. They TAKE their skim and in return, they impose more rules on the productive citizens. They waste hundreds of billions on moronic, failed green energy bullshit and “high speed rail” that never works.

THEN, they make the states and citizens beg for their money back! Follow all of our rules, or you don’t get those highway funds! Better hire more Haitians!

And at the end of the day, beta male pussies like Clayton Tucker thank them profusely and then suck their cock.

Of course, since he lives with mom and pays no taxes, it’s ALL free money to him. So from HIS point of view, it really is “free” stuff.

The rest of us know better.

Tim Walz Shitting Pants Over Tomorrow’s Debate – Where He Will Be Murdered Live On TV By JD Vance.

Remember a month ago or so, when Tim Walz was bragging and making stupid couch jokes about JD Vance and how he couldn’t wait to debate him?

Vance is going to absolutely wreck this spastic fairy.

Yeah, that was all bullshit. Maybe he was drunk on horse semen at the time he wrote that. Now he is shitting his pants. In fact, there are rumors his batshit crazy wife is pushing to have him pull out of the debate so he isn’t completely humiliated on national TV.

Maybe hiding in your basement with Kamala avoiding any reporters for the last 8 weeks wasn’t such a good idea. JD Vance has been out there sharpening his skills. Walz has been avoiding everyone like he avoided combat.

They also aren’t real keen about how he prances around on stage like a fairy. Although I’m guessing that is Comrade Clayton’s favorite part about him….

The fact is that Walz is a limp-wristed beta male trying to act strong. Only people who have been heavily conditioned to deny their basic intuition don’t feel a pervasive sense of disgust when they hear and see him.

If you are looking for a bar to watch the debate tomorrow night, Memo’s is your spot. Some bars in town, like Lampasas Beer Market, will NOT show the debate because they “don’t want any fighting” between patriotic Americans and pathetic libshit Marxists.

P.S. – we also have the “October Surprise” to look forward to. Rumor is they have something very big on Waltz. I would not be surprised to find out he’s a homo who fondled his male students. Not that shitlibs like Comrade Clayton would be bothered by that at all.

Fake Rancher Dummy Opines On U.S. Farm Policy. Reveals That He Is Clueless In Yet Another Area Of Life.

Fake rancher dummy Clayton Tucker spilled a lot of ink on his “ranching” Substack about how rough “family farms/ranches like mine” have it.

That would be the “family ranch” that wasn’t even incorporated until 9 months ago, mind you. And is supposedly run by a kid who (1) is never there (2) didn’t even live in Lampasas until about 2016 and (3) didn’t identify as a rancher but rather as a “political organizer” as recently as May of 2021.

This was filed in February of 2021. An admission he is NOT a rancher and had only lived in Lampasas 4.5 years at that point.

But yes…tell us more about the generational family ranch that faces so many hardships you simply cannot make a buck.

He then blathers on about the plight of the cotton farmer. Here is a ridiculous anecdotal blurb…

I talked to one cotton farmer from West Texas this weekend. He told me cotton prices had not risen for farmers since the 1950s. Think about that. Are prices for anything still the same as in the 50’s? His costs for inputs and everything else certainly aren’t.

This is absurd, of course. Look at a chart of cotton prices from 1950 onwards. They are not stagnant. It also ignores the fact that thanks to technology, yields per acre have exploded in pretty much all crops. So the price may have only tripled since 1950, but the farmer’s yield per acre has also likely tripled or more. Thus your income per acre has gone way up.

Dumb fuck.

Oh – and then there are the cotton subsidies that cost the U.S. taxpayer between $2 billion and $4 billion per year. That’s not enough for Comrade Clayton. He demands the government give MORE handouts to inept, fake rancher morons like himself. I mean, his family owns a few acres! He has a Constitutional RIGHT to make money as a rancher, even if he puts in ZERO effort.

Why U.S. Taxpayers Are Paying Brazilian Cotton Growers

Why is it if someone opens a restaurant or a bar or a bakery but can’t make a buck doing it and they shut down in failure, that is considered perfectly normal.

But if some scrawny, dipshit socialist clown horn whose grandpa just happened to own a couple cows twenty years ago decides to label himself a “rancher” one day because his life is totally rudderless and HE fails at it, we are all supposed to cry out in sympathy and agree that the taxpayer needs to hand him a bunch of cash to make up for his shortcomings?

Fuck that.

Especially when said clown horn puts zero effort into the actual raising of livestock and instead wastes all his time galivanting around yammering about Kamabla Harris and wasting time at political rallies and conventions?

“I don’t get it! I stand on corners yelling into a bullhorn. I re-tweet commie crap from Bernie Sanders. I take pictures with goats. Yet my ranching income remains at near $0. It just doesn’t make any sense! It MUST be the fault of “BIG AG.” I demand reparations from the taxpayers!!”

Socialist Nerd Wonders Why He Fails At “Ranching.”

Another day, another useless and meaningless [convention/meeting /rally/gathering] so Marxists can jerk each other off and convince themselves that [Beto/Allred/random commie] has a chance of winning in Texas.

Comrade Clayton: “Big Ag is making it impossible for ranchers to make a buck! Monopolies! Corporate profits! Whaaahhhhh”

Also Comrade Clayton: “Here I am wasting yet another day at another stupid, unpaid gathering far away from my ‘ranch’ taking pictures of myself with a bunch of retarded old ladies! I hope mom is watering my goats!”

It reminds me of how Julie Cain Landrum constantly cried online about the “plight” of the small business owner but then only opened her lemonade stand for about 12 hours a week and then closed it for weeks at a time.

Reminder: she went out of business doing that, Comrade! She didn’t have a mom to house and feed her, however.

But don’t worry – Comrade Clayton has a “day job” with the Trade Justice Education Fund. A nonprofit joke that pays him next to nothing. His “job” is to occasionally re-tweeting arcane, obscure shit nobody cares about. Like this:

Looks like hard, satisfying work! I’m sure it pays SUPER well, too!

LEDC Non-Profit IRS Filings For 2023 Finally Drop Online. They Skimmed a Record $534,327 From Taxpayers.

I’ve been waiting for this for a LONG time. The LEDC non-profit filings for last fiscal year.

They skimmed an all-time high of $534,327 from the taxpayer last year – up a whopping 15% from the previous year’s $466,975. There’s your inflation for you.

Of course, expenses rose over TWICE as fast –up 34%($255,000 versus $191,000 previous year).

That revenue amount (skimming tax dollars) is up SEVENTY PERCENT from 2019 – right before Covid. That’s a CAGR of 14.3% (the amount skimmed in 2019 was $313,229).

I’m pretty sure the population of Lampasas didn’t grow 14.3% per year – therefore, we are looking at a combo of inflation and increased spending thanks to stimmy checks. I suspect next year’s filings will see a marked slowdown.

But let’s get to the juicy shit:

Part I (13) shows grants (free money given away by the LEDC) of $55,128.

If you follow the many directions and schedules, you are eventually pointed to Schedule I, part I and II. There you find the following:

Does the organization maintain records to substantiate the amount of the grants or assistance, the grantees’ eligibility for the grants or assistance, and the selection criteria used to award the grants or assistance?

The answer given is NO

So, they skimmed $534,000 in taxpayer monies, handed out about 10% of that to persons/organizations unknown. Probably some of it went to shit like Vision Lampasas, Spring Ho events, etc. Which is fine. So where did the other 90% go??

Well, “other expenses” were $254,768.

When we go to Part IX, column (A), lines 11a–11d, 11f–24e to see what that entails, we find:

Legal expenses of $2,315. Advertising and promotion $5,386 (advertising the empty business pork year after year). Travel $2,993 (for the now-resigned Ybarra to fuck around at useless conventions).

Depreciation/amortization of $115,775.

Interest payments of $87,115.

“Other” expenses of $9,967. Ybarra bar tabs? Kickbacks to somebody? Who knows.

“Professional services” of $15,096. What services? Paid to whom? It doesn’t bother with that stuff.

“Admin and overhead” of $12,000. It has been $12k forever. This is money they pay to the City for all the “hard work” they do for them ‘administrating’ and stuff.

“Office equipment and maintenance” $2,440 – what office and equipment do you need to maintain if you’re ALREADY paying the City $1,000 per month for “administration and overhead”?

If you want to see how bad some of this slush fund stuff is, may I direct you to some previous filings in the following post from almost FIVE years ago:
