Exposer of Waste in City Government – Destroyer of Marxist Lice
If Bernie Sanders and Robert Francis O’Rourke had a love child, it would be Clayton Tucker.
Keep socialists OUT of Lampasas government.
Clayton Tucker is a ‘political organizer’ for “Our Revolution” – which is a socialist offshoot of the 2016 campaign of socialist Bernie Sanders. They want The Green New Deal, socialized medicine, free tuition, cancellation of all student debt, amnesty for illegal border jumpers, job-killing $15 minimum wage, banning rifles and a whole pile of other rubbish. See their beliefs at the link below:
If you ever wonder what Clayton Tucker thinks on any issue, ask yourself, “What would AOC do?” and you have your answer.
Lest you doubt that Clayton Tucker the fake rancher is a good little socialist, here an article from last year:
Now, can socialist Clayton Tucker accomplish any of this stuff as Place 1 City council member? Of course not. BUT, when punks like Clayton Tucker get elected to ANYTHING, it lends legitimacy to their abhorrent ideas. It allows them to put a “feather in their cap” and say “Look! I was elected to office! I can win!” and they will use that as a stepping stone to higher office.
That CANNOT be allowed to happen. Not in Lampasas. I’ll work against this weasel til the day I die. THAT is how much I detest socialists and Big Government.
Clayton Tucker should pack his bags and move to California. Get the hell out of Texas, you socialist weasel.
One of the many fake hats Clayton Tucker wears (besides cowboy, rancher, energy expert) is “water researcher”. I think that HE thinks if he Googles a topic and reads one article on a subject, he is now a “researcher” with “special knowledge”.
Such is the feeble mind of a socialist.
Anyhow, Tucker has most definitely lied about having some kind of special knowledge about water:
Here is the type of groundbreaking research Clayton engages in. Clayton Tucker and the other Bernie Sanders acolytes use alarmist garbage like this to justify their Green New Deal:
As you can see, Clayton Tucker has copied and pasted a ridiculous alarmist article from far-left lib rag Vox. It’s from four years ago and clearly is complete and utter bullshit, as this never came to pass. Just like Clayton Tucker’s claim that “climate change is an existential threat”.
Does Clayton Tucker ever go back and realize he was massively wrong on this and maybe be more careful going forward? No, of course not.
See, I am old enough to remember magazine covers in the 1970’s screaming alarmist bullshit about the coming ICE AGE. That’s right. They even discussed dusting the polar caps with black soot to absorb the sun’s heat and WARM the planet! Back then, there were morons just like Clayton Tucker screaming “the end is near” – thankfully, we didn’t listen to them.
With age comes wisdom. I’m old enough to have been through dozens of these alarmist bullshit scares. Being a socialist is bad enough – it means you are incapable of critical thought and don’t know your history at all. But being a 30-year-old socialist? Well, that means you lack experience and wisdom too. A terrible combination in ANYONE who wants to run for office and try to run your life.
My advice to this kid is to go get a REAL job for the next 15 years or so, THEN come back and run for office. Right now you don’t know a damn thing about the world, kid.
Here is some more advice, Clayton Tucker. Please read this LONG list of failed alarmist proclamations so you can see how badly you are being played right now by the “global warming” assholes. I remember a lot of these from the 70s and 80s. None came true.
Dim bulbs like Clayton Tucker and his socialist friends use this garbage to justify their Green New Deal. Tucker HIMSELF has says he wants Texas to go “100% renewables”:
Wow – THAT didn’t take long. As you can see, socialist weasel Clayton Tucker has repurposed his previous campaign templates and inserted “Lampasas City Council” so he can beg for money from the masses. Here is an email that arrived yesterday morning:
He is absolutely shameless about lying, as you can see. Whether it’s trying to pass himself off as an “energy policy expert” [column 4 and 5], pass himself off as a rancher, or pass himself off as a “working man” the lies come very easy to this socialist parasite.
He even manages to lie in this fundraising letter: “the margins are tight”? Really? I’m unaware of any polling for the very minor race of Place 1 Lampasas City council…so how do you know the margins are tight, you little weasel?
I’m starting to think this is how the weasel moocher lives full time! His resume shows a distinct LACK of real jobs over the years. How the hell does he pay the bills? Phone, cable, gas, insurance, groceries….that shit costs money!
When he ran against Dawn Buckingham last year, records show he raised $105,314 but only spent $58,611. Soooo….where did the other $46,700 go, Clayton? Is that how you live? Mooching off of others? You can’t dip into that $46,700 to buy an ad in the Lampasas Dispatch for your City council ‘campaign’? Instead you have your tin cup out on the Internet?
What an unbelievable worm this kid is.
Clayton Tucker (the fake rancher) is getting Robert Francis O’Rourke (the fake Mexican) all hot and sweaty!
Only Clayton Tucker could make a pussy like Beto look like an alpha male in comparison.
One of my BIG problems with socialist weasel politicians like Clayton Tucker is that they have zero idea how the real world works. They LOVE to be in charge even though they have no experience doing ANYTHING useful. They have never built or created or run anything in their lives, yet they feel imminently qualified to run around stealing from people who HAVE created and built and then doling out the booty to buy votes and adoration.
Know-nothing kids like this (and AOC and Bernie Sanders, etc) have literally never run ANYTHING yet they demand we hand over the reigns and let them run healthcare or energy policy or education.
I figured I’d better lay out this kid’s sorry work history to back up my claim:
He graduated college in 2013. He likes to present himself as an environmental and energy policy expert based off of (1) a 6-week internship at the NSF when he was 21 years old and (2) a three-month stint at Easen International when he was 20 years old, which frankly looks like a scam website if you go to the link HERE.
With THOSE stellar credentials, why should we ever doubt his genius in the climate science arena??? Jesus, what a sad joke!
So, he has two small and short “internships” and then graduates in 2013. THEN this “international relations” degree holder decides to…um….teach a year of kindergarten in China?
That’s weird, but not exactly impressive. Any moron can teach kindergarten in a foreign country. All they REALLY want is someone to speak English around the kids at a young age…so they can grow up, become fluently bilingual engineering and math wizards and crush countries like ours. We will be easy to crush because we have too many socialist morons like Clayton Tucker trying to run the show here and they are too busy worrying about horseshit like social justice and gender pronouns to bother with basic math and science.
But I digress.
Clayton spent a year there and sang praises about how awesome it was and how well teachers were paid and how awesome/cheap their healthcare is. So, if it was so fucking awesome there, Clayton, why didn’t you stay another 10 years? Why hurry back here to the awful and deplorable US?
Maybe Clayton just wanted to come back here and try to implement some of those commie China ideas as fast as he could? Lol. Who knows.
One thing I DO know is that after that grueling nine months as a kindergarten teacher, he basically never had a steady job again. What the hell did he do in 2013 right after graduating? What did he do in 2016? Take the whole year off? He bounced around a few campaigns, learning the Art of the Mooch, as you can see. Those “jobs” don’t exactly pay well and the only “skill” you learn is lying, bullshitting and pestering people for money.
Well, there WAS that whole 6 month stint in 2017 at “Organic Helicopter” in Austin. A Google search reveals no such business, so no telling what THAT was. Oddly, he was ALSO trying to weasel into a vacant Lampasas City council seat during this very same time frame, according to the Dispatch dated 6/2/17. Sooo….you were living in Lampasas (a requirement of City council) and commuting daily to Organic Helicopter in Austin Texas for 6 months? A business that has no record of existing on the Internet?
Stranger and stranger!
He must have REALLY been tired after that Organic Helicopter job, because he didn’t “work” again for a whole year – he then put in a full FOUR MONTHS of work for the Meg Walsh and Julie Oliver campaigns at the end of 2018. Exhausting! SO exhausting, he took ANOTHER entire year off of work after THAT!
If we add it all up, between his graduation in 2013 and today, he has “worked” about 20 months in the last 8 years….and MOST of that was bumming around on other people’s campaigns.
Look closely at this resumé – it is the wreckage of a loser and a bum. It is the sad history of a kid who has an aversion to work but thinks he should be up at the top bossing REAL businesses and workers around. Weasels like this should NEVER be elected to ANYTHING…be it U.S. Congress or a council seat in a small Texas town.
Nothing funnier than a kid who has never owned a business or worked a REAL job (no, “political organizer” doesn’t count) and who stands 5’6 with heels on lecturing everyone else about how the world is ending and the only answer is a bunch of free shit.
“Climate change” is not an existential threat. Anyone who believes that has a screw loose and should NEVER be in charge of ANYTHING.
If you want “free” healthcare for everyone, then I suggest you go to medical school, become a doctor and then work for free! Why not go that route? Because socialist morons like Tucker don’t have the brains to be a doctor. Hell, they don’t have the brains to run a McDonald’s. And I don’t mean that as an insult to McDonald’s managers at all. Nothing wrong with having an honest job and working for a well-earned paycheck.
Being a “political organizer” and full-time candidate running for anything that’s available is NOT an honest job. It’s not even a job. It’s the endeavor of a weasel.
Clayton Tucker is running for Lampasas City council Place 1. Who is Clayton Tucker?
Besides being in love with Bernie Sanders and Beto O’Rourke, he claims to be a “rancher” but that is utter bullshit. During one of his many losing campaigns, he liked to paint a picture of himself “working his grandfather’s ranch” and posted a picture of himself on there – when he was about 6 years old.
In reality, his grandfather passed away 2.5 years ago and as far as I can see, Clayton owns no land of his own. Kind of hard to be a rancher with no ranch, isn’t it?
What he REALLY likes to do is run for office. Anywhere and everywhere! His real “job” is “political organizer” – which means mooching off of everyone else then trying to tell them how to live their lives. He ran for TX House District 54 in 2019, then TX-24 in 2020, and now he is running for City council in Lampasas in 2021! Any pig in a poke, eh Clayton?
Kinda reeks of a loser who just wants to win SOMETHING….ANYTHING so he can push forward his socialist, Marxist, anti Second Amendment ideas.
In 2018, he was a state delegate to the state Democratic convention. At that convention, the Democrats (and Clayton Tucker) made it clear that they want to “ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines“. Clayton and his delegation ALSO “called for special counsel Robert Mueller to continue his investigation into possible coordination between the Russian government and Donald Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign“
Yeah – Clayton swallowed the Russia hoax hook, line and sinker. What do you expect from a kid who thinks money grows on trees?
OK, so the kid is a dummy…but let’s get back to City council:
When he filed for City council (at the very last second) a few weeks ago, he listed his address as 208 S Western – a property owned by his parents Howard and Terry Tucker.
[Boy, one thing you CAN count on with socialists is they are very skilled at living off of other people! This kid is THIRTY YEARS OLD and living in mommy and daddy’s house? My god]
There is just one problem though – according to the Lampasas Dispatch [Jan 3, 2020 front page], when Clayton was running for TX-24 state senate last year (I TOLD you he was a professional parasite!) he “listed a Killeen address with his official filing information“
Whoops!
So which is it, Clayton? Which candidate filing did you lie on? Or does it change when the wind blows and you need to run for something?
I mean, I give some shit on these pages to our current City council because most of them have never worked in the private sector. But at least they have a JOB. This moron has literally bounced around for most of his short life doing NOTHING but running for office.
Maybe it’s just me, but I think you should own a business or at least WORK A REAL JOB before you go around ordering the productive members of society to cough up “free shit” for parasites like Clayton Tucker and his socialist buddies.
Well, left-wing scumbags have taken Gab down again. Guess we do this the old fashioned way:
5:37pm: Finley at the podium yapping about the Comprehensive Plan. Sounds like the old Soviet politburo and their Five Year Plans. Total waste of time.
(Kuehne STILL wearing the mask? Reminder: Kuehne has ALREADY had Covid, by her own admission. She is now IMMUNE. Why is she wearing a mask? Beats me. Why not add a beanie with a propeller on your head and complete the costume!)
There is no surer path to failure than having a small group of people “planning” the City economy, growth and “community character”. Especially when that small group includes bureaucrats like Finley and morons like Chuck Williamson and TJ Monroe.
Finley’s new favorite buzz words: “Growth Corridor”, “Stakeholders”, “Community Character”, “Smart Streets”
Hostess House update and discussion….
Wow. TJ piping up more than usual tonight! Perhaps trying to look “mayoral” ahead of the May election?
Another new elevator in the Hostess House building! That should be fun. Apparently the current elevator is “residential” and they want a “commercial”. Ummmm….what the fuck is the difference?? Does it get you from the first floor to the second floor? Yes? Great. Keep it.
I mean, Christ…if the existing elevator is so awful, why was it used successfully for all these years? Nobody asks these basic questions on City council. Maddening.
New “technology” rules for City employees…
IT Department finally starting to give some thought to maybe making sure City workers don’t, like, download viruses and ransomware and stuff. Cool! Only 19 months after The Great Ransomware Attack of 2019…but better late than never!
Workshop adjourned. Ten minute break until the regular meeting…
Me running to the garage fridge to stock up so I can make it through the rest of this shit….
As predicted, council approves the $6,600 to Reliant for “master plans” for the Hostess House. Unanimous approval. Kind of surprised Randy didn’t pipe up there.
Choosing website photo contest winner: the most important item of the night!
Aaaaand….that’s all folks. Four people watching on YouTube! That’s .0533% of the population of the town. Good stuff.
We recently looked at the new personnel policy and pointed out the nice benefits received by City employees. Benefits that City Manager Finley deGraffenreid NEVER talks about – he likes to focus on salaries and pretend these lovely benefits (which amount to over $22,000 per year on average per City employee) don’t exist.
Let’s check the math of the policy versus some ACTUAL paystub receipts I requested a couple of years ago. My contention back THEN was that a lot of these Nerf jobs at the top not only paid well and had outstanding benefits, but that the hours worked were even LESS than they should be.
Let’s compare using the paystubs of our City IT Director Monica Wright.
According the City’s own policy, a full year of work entails 2080 hours (52 weeks times 40 hours). Our IT Director falls into the “between 6 and 16 years with the City” – and therefore entitled to 15 vacations days (3 weeks). So we’ll subtract those 120 hours (15 days x 8 hours per day = 120 hours).
2080 – 120 = 1960 hours
Then, we also know that sick days accrue at 3.69 hours per bi-weekly pay period. That works out to 96 hours per year (3.69 hours x 26 pay periods = 96 hours). So we’ll knock that off too:
1960 – 96 = 1864 hours
(I might mention here that I don’t think I’ve ever been sick for more than 4 or 5 days in a year, which would work out to 32-40 hours. I find it hard to believe that someone would be sick for 12 days every year, but whatever. I’ll ignore that for a minute).
Therefore, if our IT Director took every single hour of vacation she was entitled to AND took every single sick day, she should never be working LESS THAN 1864 hours per year. In other words, she is entitled to TWENTY SEVEN days off – which works out to 5.5 weeks or WELL over a month off (120 hours + 96 hours = 216 and 216/8 hours per day = 27 days off. There are 5 work days in a week: so that works out to 5 weeks plus 2 extra days)
Did she at LEAST work those 1864 hours? Let’s look at the numbers straight off of the paystubs:
2013 1827.5 hours (equivalent to over 6 weeks vacation)
2014 1798.5 hours (equivalent to over 7 weeks vacation)
2015 1730.5 hours (equivalent to 8.7 weeks vacation – well over 2 months)
2016 1711.5 hours (equivalent to 9.2 weeks vacation – 2 months plus a week)
2017 1736.5 hours (equivalent to 8.5 weeks vacation – two months)
2018 1725 hours (equivalent to 8.8 weeks vacation – well over two months)
Well, she came kinda close in 2013….but then it went downhill from there. Those last 4 years came it at around 1725 hours on average – or a full ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY HOURS below the expected minimum of 1864!
We see that 140 hours divided by a 40 hour week = 3.5 weeks of work that apparently disappeared into thin air and were not performed.
Huh. Odd indeed. Somehow, 17 days of work just didn’t get done! What is the explanation, I wonder? Federal holidays maybe? There are only 10 of those…and the average sucker who works in the private sector only gets 7 or 8 holidays off per year. I guess it would only be fitting that City government workers somehow get 17 holidays off.
Furthermore, if the discrepancy IS because of holidays, we would expect those “hours worked” numbers from the payroll stubs to be pretty consistent from year to year. They clearly aren’t.
I don’t have the paystub data for 2019 or 2020 but I could easily request that, I guess. This blog appeared in the summer of 2018 and started making information like this public, so it would be interesting to see if the numbers popped back up as the Nerf job holders at City Hall realized they were finally being watched.
Either way, remember all this the next time Finley cries to City council that every single warm body on the payroll NEEDS a 5% raise across the board. Remember the tens of thousands per year in health insurance and retirement benefits the average City employee receives. Remember the months of vacation they get...not to mention all those holidays off!
