Lampasas Sales Tax Receipts Down 1.53%. Down For Sixth Time In Seven Months.

After last month’s miniscule gain, sales tax for December (actually November collections) dropped again – down 1.53% [row 585 as always].

Texas as a whole was UP 2.43% – so once again, Lampasas trails the state in sales tax receipts.

For the year-to-date number, sales tax collections are up only 1.42%, which translates into only about $40,000 more than last year.

Burnet:UP 6.18% (our sister city must have a REALLY good economic development director!)

Marble Falls: DOWN 1.76%

Dallas: UP 8.4% (!!)

Austin: DOWN 2.29%

Greatest City Employee Since Rickie Roy Is Retiring. Van Berry Riding Off Into The Sunset.

Unless you are a regular golfer, you probably aren’t aware that the most competent and responsible employee the City has ever seen (with the possible exception of Ricky Roy) is retiring.

Van Berry is basically in charge of his own half-million dollar business over there at the golf course [page 53]. He has had to deal with drought, ice storms, Covidiots complaining about masks, busted golf carts, massive oak trees falling down, cart sheds falling apart, repaving cart paths, Mike Holland passing out on the course every month or so, and all sorts of other insanity. And he did it all for LESS money than our useless Economic Director made in her FIRST year.

A travesty, to say the least.

He deals with tournaments, greens fees, cart fees, membership fees, shed rentals, concessions, and a whole lot more – and unlike Finley, he doesn’t have an Assistant Manager bitch boy to do half his work for him. He runs it all.

And he does it all for LESS money than our quasi-retarded Assistant To The City Manager made in his first year. Another travesty.

Unlike the heads of other departments who spend tens of thousand of dollars to hire outside people to do their jobs for them, Van Berry got his hands dirty all the time. My usual route to town takes me past the golf course about 25 times per week. I have seen Van working on carts, fixing broken mowers, helping clear felled trees after a storm, and doing all sorts of other work that Stacey Ybarra, Ryan Ward and Finley deGraffenreid would never be caught dead doing because they might break a nail or get some doodie on their hands.

Besides all that, he’s a hell of a nice guy with a great head of hair and a very lovely family. He’s probably retiring to go cure cancer and wrestle alligators with Ricky Roy. That’s how bad-ass he is.

Quite frankly, I don’t know how he put up with the idiot Big Wigs at City Hall. That alone should have warranted a yearly bonus in the $10,000 range.

Whoever takes over has some big shoes to fill.

Anyways, I wish you good luck Mr. Berry! Thank you for making Lampasas Golf Course one that is respected and admired by every serious golfer I have ever spoken too.

All You Vaxxed Libdummies Should Probably Buy Cancer Insurance

No surprises here. The question is, will libdummies believe the facts and the math and understand many of them are truly screwed? The only problem is, the actuaries are very aware of all this by now. Price of cancer insurance has likely gone up greatly.

Young adults who took 4 COVID vaccines are 256% more likely to die, especially from TURBO CANCERS

I wouldn’t sleep at night if I were a libdummy between the ages of 20 and 40 who got vaxxed and boosted over and over. I wonder if we know anyone like that?

On the plus side, there will be a LOT less AOC and Bernie Sanders voters around in the next 5-10 years. That’s not really a bad thing.

Scary stuff…..

  • A 28 percent increase in fatal breast cancer rates in women.
  • A 35 percent and 12 percent rise in brain cancer deaths among men and women, respectively.
  • A 55 percent and 41 percent increase in colon cancer deaths among men and women, respectively.
  • A 60 percent and 55 percent spike in cancer death rates among men and women, respectively, in cancers “without site specification.”
  • A 60 percent and 80 percent rise in pancreatic cancer deaths among men and women, respectively.
  • A 120 percent and 35 percent jump in fatal melanomas among men and women, respectively.

Beta O’Rourke Promotes Open Borders – Gets Destroyed on Twitter For His Troubles.

It warms the heart to see Beta O’Rourke get absolutely demolished in his Twitter feed by 98% of respondents. It gives me hope that those of us who understand that a secure border is of primary importance FAR outnumber the open-border retards on the left.

The reaction was swift, overwhelming and hilarious:

Idiot Socialist Makes More Bad Analogies. Is Clearly Clueless About Cost/Benefit Analysis.

As she has shown many times in the past, the socialist chairman of the Lampasas Democratic Party has zero understanding of economics, cost/benefit analysis or pretty much anything else in the real world. That’s what happens when you live with your mother at age 33 and she pays for everything.

Here’s the latest renewable energy “lesson” from a dunce:

Wow! What a burn! You sure proved your point! We should definitely spend another $50 billion to put more panels onto our already-unreliable grid!

Oh wait…you left a ton of stuff out of your “analysis”:

#1 – Nobody ever said solar panels don’t work in the cold. In fact, they work BETTER in the cold weather than they do in the blistering heat of summer, when efficiency gets reduced up to 20%.

#2 – Those solar panels on the ISS cost upwards of $300 million dollars – yes, I looked it up. So if you have $300 million laying around, by all means – toss up some solar panels that work when it’s minus 451 degrees. Oh, and they only last about 15 years – that works out to $20 million per year. Your tax dollars at work. OH – and they cost MORE to launch into space than they do to manufacture. So call it $600 million. For 15 years. What a deal!!

#3 – The problem with solar panels in Texas in the winter during massive storms like the Feb 2021 fiasco isn’t the COLD, it’s the fact that they were covered with two inches of ice – blocking photons. It also tends to be very cloudy during those storms. So even without the ice, the sun is blocked. I shouldn’t have to tell you this, but there are no clouds in space and no ice storms either. Moron.

#4 – Since the earth rotates on its axis every 24 hours and is tilted at 23 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic, the days in Texas during the winter are very short – about 10 hours. That gives you about 7 hours of strong sun and thus usable energy (IF there are no clouds or rain) – which means your billions of dollars of solar panels produce ZERO energy for the remaining 17 hours, or 66% of the time. Not a very good ROI for your money. This is not a problem in space either. Moron.

But besides all the completely wrong analogies and shit you left out, you really made your point.

I’ll also remind everyone that Clayton Tucker, despite his non-stop promotion of solar panels as being a great power source for an industrialized, First-World nation (it isn’t) COMRADE CLAYTON HAS NO SOLAR PANELS ON HIS OWN HOUSE!

There are ZERO solar panels at grandpa’s house/ranch either – that’s where Comrade Clayton goes to pretend he is a rancher. I’ll bet a shiny new dime there aren’t any windmills out there producing energy either.

Of course, Comrade Clayton would have to ask mom first about putting panels up on the roof, because he actually lives in HER house and under HER roof. He’d have to ask mom to pay for it too, since he is unemployed and penniless (and apparently ‘working’ for an organization that doesn’t even exist) and a decent solar setup would run him around $40,000. If he had $40,000 laying around, he wouldn’t be sponging off mom and living in her upstairs bedroom, now would he?

But besides all that, his promotion of solar panels makes a ton of sense. Well argued, Comrade!!

Javier Milei Understands Why Socialists Must Be Destroyed.

All over the world, we are seeing men elected who despise socialism and understand that collectivists and statists must be destroyed. They understand that the waves and waves of third-world illiterates are not “refugees” – they are invaders.

Germany, Italy, Spain, France and Ireland are seeing massive protests and unrest as their countries are taken over by Muslim males aged 18 to 28 whom the lefties call “refugees” and “asylum seekers” but who are actually invaders…

Geert Wilders in the Netherlands is but one example of the recent backlash.

People are FINALLY pushing back against the woke bullshit, against the “global warming” nonsense that is just a Trojan horse for socialism, against the gaslighting on “refugees” who are actually invaders – against ALL of it.

But the GREATEST of them all is recently-elected (Argentina) Javier Milei. Nobody understands and hates socialists more than this guy. We need about 1,000 more like him to get elected and start curb-stomping moron socialists into oblivion:

“Why do you call them ‘shit’?”

“BECAUSE THEY ARE SHIT!”

Amen, brother.

Insane Local Hermit: Melissa “Crazy Cane Lady” Johnson Still Scared Of Her Own Shadow. Craps On Cool Christmas Idea.

I used to joke that all the Covidiots back in 2020, 2021, and even 2022 (many were still wearing masks then) were “scared rabbits” afraid of their own shadows. Turns out, they were always like that. It’s just that Covid gave them an excuse to turn their insane hypochondria and neuroses into a “virtue” in their confused brains.

So virtuous! So caring!

Nobody exemplified this more than Melissa “Crazy Cane Lady” Johnson – who I skewered weekly. Of course, we found out AFTER Covid that she pretty much wore a mask all her life because “allergies” or something. She neglected to mention this when chiding all of us and explaining that wearing a mask was “no big deal.”

Of course, now the clowns are all admitting what WE knew all along: the masks were useless talismans. Worn only by virtue-signaling douchebags like Johnson, Fitzharris, Tucker and Haywood:

Like all asshole liberals, Johnson cannot stop telling people what to do and just mind her own business. This is likely because she HAS no business. She appears to be a weirdo hermit who spends most of her life inside pretending to be a member of Starfleet Command – emerging only rarely to shake her cane at the clouds or complain about the 2024 eclipse.

Now, Melissa “Safety Patrol” Johnson lets us know she is STILL in charge of everyone’s safety by taking a shit on a cool Christmas idea posted on Lampasas County Breaking News:

If I was 25 years younger, I’d LOVE to be one of those guys in the reindeer costumes being lifted up and down on that rig and pretending I was running into the sky. Is it possible I’d fall off and hurt myself? Sure, because I’d have 5 or 6 cups of eggnog and possibly a THC gummi beforehand.

But guess what? I’m a grown man and can make my own decisions. But meddling old crones cannot stand that thought…

Reindeer don’t have horns, you idiot.
It’s spelled BONY, not BONEY. DAMN you’re dumb!

Fuck your permits. This is America. I grew up in South Florida in the 1970s. People drove down Main Street in swamp buggies drinking beers from an OPEN CONTAINER in the 4th of July parade – back when America was still proud and great and not filled with lunatics who don’t know what gender they are and safety nannies wielding canes.

I think this idea is cool as shit. If I was a little kid, I’d probably fall for that and remember it for the rest of my life. That’s what make this time of year so much fun – cool stuff like that. Because you’re only a gullible kid for a short period of time. Then you grow up to be a meddling, miserable, mask-wearing cunt who can’t keep her nose out of everyone’s business, right?

I wish I owned a big earth mover like that, because I would totally make this happen. Then I’d drive that fucker right down the street to Melissa Johnson’s hovel and I’d lift my drunken reindeer guys over her driveway over and over again until she lost her mind.

Why Is Lampasas Democratic Party Chairman Clayton Tucker Lying On FEC Contribution Forms?

Oh goodness. Local socialist bum Clayton Tucker has been caught in a whopper of a lie once again. This time, he is telling his lies on Federal Election Commission political contribution forms.

He just can’t seem to decide who his employer is and what job title he holds!

Comrade Clayton gives a whopping $10 every month to ActBlue, a far-left PAC. He has donated seven times this year, on a monthly basis. Last donation was in June.

But under “Employer” he decides to lie and put “Our Revolution Texas” – listing himself as “Statewide Coordinator.” Our Revolution Texas was a far-left commie splinter group of Bernie Sanders for President.

The problem is, Comrade Clayton either left or was fired from that job in December of 2021: two years ago. He told us this himself AND listed it on his LinkedIn page.

December 18, 2021 – Tucker fired or resigned
Our Revolution (commie organization) employment terminated in December 2021

The other problem is that it appears that Our Revolution Texas doesn’t even EXIST as a going concern anymore! If you go to the Our Revolution Texas page and click “Contact Revolution Texas To Get Involved,” you will be directed to a dead page….

Whoops.

Furthermore, Comrade Clayton has told us REPEATEDLY that he works for the tiny, pissant organization called the Trade Justice Education Fund – in fact, he just flew out to Seattle AND San Francisco for this “job” that pays no money! So he certainly couldn’t have forgotten who he “works” for, right?

Fake Rancher/Real Socialist Goes To San Francisco For “Work.” His “Job” Actually Pays $0.00.

In fact, you can see that he DID list his employer last October, November and December as the Trade Justice Education Fund – before inexplicably switching to the lie that he works for Our Revolution this year…

He also bizarrely throws in a couple of “self-employed” in there as well – but ONLY when he donates to the Texas Democratic Party.

Of course, he is NOT self-employed at all. I have exposed his lies here repeatedly about being a rancher/farmer/cowboy or whatever he calls himself this week. He even has the nerve to call himself a “small business owner” now!

Comrade Clayton Tucker is most assuredly NOT a small business owner – as we can see when we search OpenCorporates for Texas businesses.

The only place you find Clayton Tucker’s name on anything other than a non-profit political shell corporation is his “Grassroots Nation,” which is simply an LLC on paper. He filled out some forms, named himself founder and that’s the end of it. That is not a small business. A small business has customers, a product, some assets, and income. Cherry On Top is a small business. Lampasas Beer Market is a small business.

Grassroots Nation LLC was ‘hired’ a few times by one of Tucker’s OTHER shell companies to do social media. That’s it. He literally ‘hired’ himself:

Commie-funded Bluebonnet PAC (founded by Clayton Tucker) used Grassroots Nation – also a Tucker shell company

Clayton Tucker ALSO owns no land in Lampasas County – OR in Burnet County. Kind of hard to own a ranch as a “small business” when you own no land. But mommy’s parents do! It’s a great place to go and pretend.

Further confusing his tangled trail of lies is the fact that when he posts pictures of “the ranch” and talks about goat or donkey purchases, it’s always “we” bought some goats and “we” sold our donkey.

So who is “we”? I thought you were the owner? How many employees do you have? Or are YOU the employee? If you were the employee, why didn’t you list THAT as your job on the Federal campaign forms? If you own a small business, why not put THAT down on ALL your FEC forms – not just for the donations to the Texas Democratic Party?

So many questions! Perhaps the compliance officers at the FEC can answer them for me. I bet they know what the rules are and what the fines are for knowingly violating them.

Is Local Socialist Cockroach Clayton Tucker About To Run For Office AGAIN?!

Strange things going on in Clayton Tucker’s Bluebonnet PAC!

We see very recent action as Clayton Tucker Campaign donated $8,244 to his own newly-created Texas Bluebonnet PAC.

“Clayton Tucker Campaign” has $8,244 lying around to donate to his own PAC? Very bizarre, to say the least. Campaign for what? Is he just shuffling money around between his various bullshit shell companies?

Is this leftover cash from his many failed campaigns that he is now stuffing into his PAC so he can pretend he is a baller? LOL. Because so far, the only thing Bluebonnet PAC has spent money on is Tucker’s idiotic Texans Against Prop 3 campaign that was an absolute failure. Prop three passed easily by a 2-1 margin.

Furthermore, some socialist Muslim named Farrukh Shamsi kicked in $3,000.

Talk about brain-dead: wearing a mask in June 2022 and worshipping a commie piece of shit like Sanders.

Shamsi is another SDEC member and Houston precinct chair.

What the hell is it with Tucker and the Muslims? Is Clayton secretly some weird fake-rancher role-playing gigolo for older Muslim men? Because I can TOTALLY see that. Obama had a similar setup in Chicago with white guys in the bath houses when he was an obscure state senator.

Muslim Sasquatch
Inbred anti-American Somali Muslim who married her brother.

Just a reminder what these Muslims believe:
