When Mandy Walsh Says Lampasas Was “Economically Injured” By Covid, She Is Lying Like A Rug – Here Are The REAL Numbers:

The Lampasas Economic Development Corp (LEDC) is STILL working on their CARES ACT grant for their ‘Business Park’ debacle, apparently. I remember back when it was going to be completed by July 31, 2020! Only six months late, guys!

What’s the hold up? Who knows. My guess is that Mike Cour and Eco-Strong are a MUCH weaker prospect than they let on. They likely needed Impact DataSource to conjure up some bullshit studies to make them look better – and that takes time.

Of course, Mayor Transparency REFUSES to let me see the study, which was completed last month. My lawyer and City attorney JC Brown are currently sparring over that.

Rest assured, I shall prevail.

Anyways, I recently downloaded a database which lists EVERY SINGLE PPP LOAN handed out in Lampasas by business name. The big ones (over $150,000) are easy to find. The smaller ones are much harder….but I have them all.

You wonder why the City had an extra $250,000 in sales tax fall in their laps this year?? I sure did. Now I know why. Let me list all the ways that Lampasas was “economically injured” by Covid:

Individual stimulus checks: I estimate this to be roughly $6 million dollars pumped into the local economy ($1200 times 3500 adults and $500 times 3000 kids). This is literally a “money” flood that was conjured out of thin air by the Treasury and Federal Reserve and handed out to everyone.

Large PPP Loans (over $150,000): I estimate this to be roughly $2.5 million dollars.

Small PPP Loans (under $150,000): I did an AutoSum of all the totals on my spreadsheet and it totaled $5.7 million. MANY of these will never have to be paid back.

CARES ACT to City and other: This includes, for instance, the $100,000 that Mandy Clause handed out to undeserving businesses like Wool & Vine and was THEN reimbursed by the Feds. The City, through Rickie Roy, is also applying for reimbursement in the amount of roughly $400,000, if I am not mistaken. That’s for shit like hand sanitizer, Plexiglas, expensive equipment they might possibly get away with calling “covid relief”,etc. That is another $500,000 right there.

Latest ‘stimulus’ bullshit check of $600: I don’t know the criteria on this and haven’t looked at it closely but call that another $3 million.

So we are looking at EIGHTEEN MILLION DOLLARS pumped into Lampasas. That’s $18,000,000.00

That ALSO doesn’t take into account the boat loads of money paid out in unemployment claims AND the work-ethic-killing $600 per week piled on top of that. I have no idea how to calculate that, but I have no doubt it runs into the millions.

So – we likely have in the neighborhood of TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS sloshing into our City from the Feds…..yet Mandy Walsh has the BALLS to then go begging to the Feds FOR MORE for the LEDC’s failed ‘business park’!! She actually has the NERVE to apply for a grant by claiming that Lampasas was “economically injured” by Covid!

Christ, lady. Covid has been a total GIFT to this town, financially speaking. We have come out WAY AHEAD and our unemployment rate is lower than that of Texas AND the United States. Yet you have your hand out for more! Worse yet, every single City council member unanimously agreed to this attempted pilfering.

Absolutely disgusting. You’re worse than the slimiest politicians in Chicago and New York with that kind of bullshit money grab. For shame.

ManWhalePig Hubert “Heath” Humperdick Wrong Yet Again

Hubert Humperdick is one of the more outspoken of the morons who think perfectly healthy people should be forced into wearing masks. I’ve covered his idiocy more than a few times.

HERE and HERE for example.

Well, he was wrong yet again. Hubert posted this nugget back in July…intimating that if we let kids go back to school, they will die of Covid, along with their parents and teachers.

Melissa “Crazy Cane Lady” Johnson also was against opening schools, even though she has ZERO kids of school age. When I pointed this out, instead of shutting up and feeling stupid for sticking her beak into an issue that doesn’t even concern her, she accused me of “stalking” her kid. LOL. Seriously, you can’t make up shit like that. What lies will they think of next??

Of course, 6 months later they have both been proven completely and totally wrong. Zero kids, teachers or parents have died in the Lampasas School District. I’m not sure why Hubert “Heath” the Moron even cares since he doesn’t have any kids either – just a dog that he treats like one.

Hubert, you remind me more and more of Ignatius J Reilly from A Confederacy of Dunces. You should go read it so you can see what a ridiculous buffoon you really are:

“Ignatius is of the mindset that he does not belong in the world and that his numerous failings are the work of some higher power. He continually refers to the goddess Fortuna as having spun him downwards on her wheel of fortune. Ignatius loves to eat, and his masturbatory fantasies lead in strange directions. His mockery of obscene images is portrayed as a defensive posture to hide their titillating effect on him. Although considering himself to have an expansive and learned worldview, Ignatius has an aversion to ever leaving the town of his birth, and frequently bores friends and strangers with the story of his sole, abortive journey out of New Orleans, a trip to Baton Rouge on a Greyhound Scenicruiser bus, which Ignatius recounts as a traumatic ordeal of extreme horror.“

Council Meets Tonight

I know it’s January and there is literally snow on the ground, but I’d love for council to publicly state soon that BOTH pools will be open this summer.

When May rolls around, this Covid nonsense will have been going on for WAY over a year. EVERYONE knows the risks by now and can make their own decisions. Our ‘leaders’ need to grow some balls and get back to normal.

Oh, and you might want to offer lifeguards a teeny bit more than minimum wage this time around, so you don’t come up empty handed and cry that “nobody applied for the jobs!” like you did last summer.

If you can hand Finley a $10,000 raise (to $140,000) in the middle of a pandemic last May, you can pay these high-school kids more than a pittance to work a job that actually requires a bit of skill.

Prediction:

Hopes that “covid will go away if Biden wins the election” are incorrect. The lies will get more aggressive and the power grabs more intense.

This is far too good a crisis to let go to waste and this is not a gang that wastes crises.

Take this lying sack of lib-shit, for instance:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo

Gov. Cuomo says politicians will take ‘different tone’ on COVID-19 after Trump loss.

Mencken once quipped “democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it, good and hard.”

For those who voted for more covid clampdown: get ready. Here it comes.

And remember, this is what you wanted. Do NOT come crying about it later.

Parler, We Hardly Knew Ye

Good morning to all except the commie bastards who are trying to destroy free speech in America.

Find The Original Lampasshole on Gab.com

As you know, Amazon will be shutting down Parler tonight. I’ll be cancelling my Amazon Prime tonight and make every effort to buy my goods from ANYWHERE else but Amazon. Yes, that will be difficult. Even a 20% reduction by millions of people will hit them where it hurts a little bit.

Not to worry. All the great conservative and freedom-loving voices will be moving to Gab.com

I have to say, Gab is a much smoother platform anyways.

Now, your app store might try to ban Gab. Fortunately, the head nerd at Gab thought of this long ago – and he runs on his own servers too.

Here is how to get the Gab “app” if your app store refuses to show it:

  1. Download DuckDuckGo browser
  2. Open browser and go to www.gab.com
  3. At the top right of the screen, tap the three vertical dots and then tap “Add to home”

The Gab app will then show up on your phone as an app button and app just like all your others.

See you there tomorrow for the City council meeting – and spread the word about Gab.com

#TEXIT

With the media going all-in on a Biden presidency Texas is squarely in the cross hairs. The neo-Marxists plan to use a Biden administration to crush anyone opposed to their twisted vision of the world.

This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s taking them at their word. Just look at what they’ve said:

Biden’s handlers and enablers have made it perfectly clear that they intend to target our right to keep and bear arms, break the back of the oil and gas industry, dramatically increase federal taxes, obliterate the sovereignty of our state, and deliberately execute punitive retribution on anyone who deviates from their ideology.

Texans have had their options narrowed down to one – #TEXIT.

TEXIT has never been a “Plan B” for the Texas Nationalist Movement, and it can no longer be a “Plan B” for those who cherish Texas independence. It’s time to make Texas independence happen and for Texans to rise to the call like Houston, Travis, Crockett, and Bowie.

Now is the time for everyone who has been on-the-fence, inactive, or a casual supporter to realize that it will take every Texan to join with our 386,465 supporters to make TEXIT happen.

The Texas Nationalist Movement. Link here.

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.
