Everything Should Be Free!

Man, the list of shit that people “should get for free” just grows by the day!

I see idiots on the news and social media with a new one every day.

Here is a new one! People shouldn’t have their power turned off just because they don’t pay their bills, yo! That ain’t fair! Say what? Get a job and pay your bills? What are you, a racist?!?

“Energy justice” now? Fuck you.

I don’t know who Selah Goodson Bell is, but I guarantee you that he/she has never done an honest day’s work in their entire life.

Oh look! I was right! How do I always know???

After you secure your free electricity for life, you can then demand free medical care….

Go work as a nurse for free, then. Otherwise….fuck off.

Yeah ok…70% of this country is obese (which they did to themselves) but I should have to pay for all their medical care stemming from zero exercise and a life of fast food. Sounds fair to me!

Then you get your “free” education – which isn’t actually an education, but rather a piece of paper SAYING you are educated. Huge difference. And 95% of the time, it isn’t worth the paper it is printed on. Which is why these morons can’t find a job after racking up $200k in debt.

I could almost get behind forcing the taxpayer to pay for some kid’s education if the kid were smart, poor, hard-working and was getting a degree in engineering or chemistry or something else useful….oh wait, they already have that. It’s called an “academic scholarship”.

Tough shit. You should have been a plumber. Pay up and shut up, fucko

But those trillions are actually paying for morons to party for four years, get a “degree” in some horseshit like “Political Science”, “International Relations” or “Gender Theory”. Then they walk out even dumber than they were when they walked in and they are unemployable in any capacity except “ranting socialist moron holding a sign” – like THIS example here:

So you signed an agreement to trade money for a “great education” and the Biden economy is BOOMING, so why can’t you repay the loan you AGREED TO? Because “I don’t wanna” isn’t good enough, shit birds.

But even with their awesome $250,000 “education” in Queer Theory or International Relations, they STILL can’t manage to pay the rent, and so they go running back to mommy’s titty…

“Whaaaah! Rent is EXPESIVE and I’m too emotionally fragile to have a roommate or two! I need a spare bedroom as my “safe space” to go cry if somebody calls me a pussy, a retard or a fag! Those are hurtful words! Whaaaaah”

Of course, there are PLENTY of high-paying jobs out there…but you have to get up before 9am and sometimes you get doody or poopy on your hands. Boo hoo.

Why, RIGHT HERE in Lampasas there is an advertisement for Dude Who Fixes Highly Subsidized Shitty Pinwheels….

Do you think local unemployed socialist bum and lover of pinwheels Clayton Tucker will take this awesome job? I’ll bet you a MILLION DOLLARS that he won’t! That would disrupt his hobby of posting anti-capitalist and factually wrong bullshit bashing America all day long.

Oh, plus he doesn’t even know how to use a wrench at age 32…

Imagine thinking anyone offers $7.25 anymore

Imagine being so stupid you confuse MINIMUM wage with MANDATORY wage. Nobody pays $7.25, you idiot. NOBODY.

But Comrade Clayton needs to keep posting garbage like this as an excuse as to why he is still unemployed and living with mom. He ignores the high-paying pinwheel job and instead says “Mom, the minimum wage is $7.25 and I can’t possibly live on that. Now close the door so I can sit in your upstairs bedroom all day posting socialist horseshit!”

Millennials…what a bunch of whiney losers.

Will Clayton “Baby Seal” Tucker Run For City Council Again?

According to the Dispatch, nobody has thrown their hat in the ring yet to run for City council in May.

Unless you count Bob Goodart…which I don’t.

Goodart, you’ll recall, was thumped soundly last May by Davis Keele by a count of 360 to 135 (73% to 27%).

Goodart is now apparently back for more and challenging Randy “Speedbump” Clark for Place 2.

Bob is doing his best impersonation of a hyena by picking Place #2 to run for – seeking out the oldest and weakest councilmember to challenge. Goodart would have ZERO chance of beating Morris, Pearce or Monroe for their open seats.

I became anti-Goodart the minute he voted to hand LEDC President Talbert $971,000 of City “Covid money” to waste on the idiotic Business Pork project – after telling me personally he thought it was a “colossal waste of money”. Bob Goodart can’t be trusted. Hopefully Randy sends him packing.

Will local socialist Comrade Clayton “Baby Seal” Tucker sign up for another beating? Let’s hope so! He pussed out last year, unfortunately.

His whole motto is “Run for Something!”, and THAT he has certainly done – running for office or seeking appointment at least FIVE times.

The “win a race” part? Not so much.

Douchebag socialist tries to trade on family name. Fails badly.

As for the other open seats? I think Thelma Jean Monroe may step down and Cathy “Pork Chop” Keuhne may run for mayor – which would be a disaster. The last thing the town needs is a liberal, artsy-fartsy chick heading things up.

Don’t forget that Kuehne was a RABID Covid Cult loon for about two years (she put herself at risk EVERY DAY!)- which means she is incapable of critical thinking.

Masks do absolutely nothing

She was a HUGE supporter of Talbert pilfering $971,000 in “Covid relief” funds from the City for the Business Pork project last February. I believe her exact words were “I’ve been filled in on this, and I think it’s a win-win”

She is also a supporter of blowing almost $2 million on the Hostess House “facelift” currently in progress.

Furthermore, this “teacher” doesn’t even know how to spell at a fifth-grade level!

It’s WHOSE not WHO’S.

The plural of STORY is STORIES, not STORY’S.

Remember stuff like this when teachers like Kuehne cry that they aren’t paid enough. This is her mother tongue, for crying out loud! It’s embarrassing.

Strippers go to POLES. Voters go to the POLLS.

And don’t even get me stared on who the First Gentleman of Lampasas would be, if his wife were elected mayor….

BLM is a Marxist front group based on demonstrable lies

Billions In Solar Panels Sitting Useless All Week

Thank you to all the brilliant MEN who explore for oil and gas, who are clever and tough enough to get it out of the ground through miles of rock, who use complex chemistry and physics to refine it into useful products, who build and maintain the incredible machines and dynamos that spin day and night to produce power and heat for fat, lazy, greentard morons who sit comfortably in their house doing nothing but complaining.

Does not work at all – let alone outside in the cold. Sits in the comfort provided by oil and gas

Texas is using close to 60 gigawatts right this moment. Solar is kicking in only 1%. Wind is not doing much better (6%).

Solar producing 0.6 gigawatts right now.

Luckily, we have big, beautiful, gas-powered turbines to keep us warm and alive.

Clayton Tucker not even qualified to polish the brass on these incredible machines.

Greentards who think wind and solar can meet our needs don’t have the first CLUE about the amount of talent and skill and knowledge it takes to keep this modern infrastructure running. Hell, Clayton Tucker cannot even use a wrench correctly!!! He thinks a nut is a bolt!!

If I had my way, any person who has publicly championed pinwheels and solar as part of our grid system would have their power turned off this entire week. Then they would be deported to Venezuela with the word “Asshole” tattooed on their foreheads.

While pinwheels and solar vaporize tens of billions of dollars in subsidies, oil and gas get taxed to death. Tell me again, Comrade Clayton, how oil and gas are subsidized, you absolute moron.

Ryan Ward and Stacey Ybarra Talk In Circles On Lampasas Radio. Rhonda Witcher Actually Puts Them On The Spot. Ward Fails Badly.

Wow. What a find! Go to the link and start watching at the 3:43 mark.

After listening to this interview, I have to wonder if old Rhonda Witcher reads this blog, because she asked pretty much EVERYTHING I have asked about this “Business Pork” and made the same points I make repeatedly about the labor force not being there to support such a project.

Good job, Rhonda! You did the first valuable interview of your life at age 102.

Assistant to the City Manager Ryan Ward was on there in place of Finley (another sign that Finley is handing over the reins this year) and our new Economic Development Director Stacey Ybarra joined him. Between the two of them, they talked in circles spewed many buzzwords, and basically gave zero information on the entire park.

First let’s hear Ryan Ward’s bullshit:

Rhonda Witcher: “Well, the can of worms you get when you come here to Lampasas is the Business Park out on 183…the City has had that a long time…put a lot of money into it…it’s been built – has anybody come yet? Are there any renters?“

Ryan Ward: “That’s a great question! I can give you an update on that! Mandy did a great job…it is about 99% complete…the legwork that Mandy had done…there are several businesses that were waiting on the City of Lampasas to complete that… so once the electric is complete, we hope to get folks, uh, moving in as soon as possible, you know, some of these businesses that are really interested in being out there”

Great non-answer, asswipe! Rhonda asked if there were any renters and you just babbled a whole pile of bullshit without giving an answer. SHOCKINGLY, Rhonda didn’t take that for an answer, and pressed him AGAIN….

Rhonda Witcher: “But SPECIFICALLY, are any tire-kickers, ha-ha-ha, or anyone out there looking??”

Ryan Ward: “You know, uh, that would be a good question for, uh, our manager, Finley deGraffenreid….he worked real close with Mandy…that piece of it I didn’t work on it with Mandy…the interested parties…and…a lot of those things are kinda kept, nondisclosure…until they make their mind up…but yeah, I don’t have any of that information, I wish I did, to share”

Ah yes – pawn it off on Mandy (who is long gone) and Finley (who isn’t there and will ALSO be retiring soon! Pass the buck – classic bureaucrat move

I am shocked! The Big Wigs refusing to tell us who all these prospects are! Ward is completely full of shit here. The City ALREADY spilled their five prospects to me less than a year ago (Lawson, Pho-Licious,Legacy Awning, Nextlink and Eco-Turd). Since that is now public knowledge, why doesn’t Ward list one of those companies for Rhonda??? We KNOW that Pho-Licious is gone – are all the rest gone too???

Rhonda is STILL undeterred! He keeps at it. He turns to Stacey Ybarra and asks “what do you think about that?”

Stacey Ybarra: “I think it’s a great opportunity…at this moment in time…to be able to attract businesses, you need shovel-ready sites…you need those types of sites to be able to bring big businesses…it’s just about getting it completed and doing the legwork to bring them here, they will come…it just may take a tiny bit of time…but that’s what I’m here for….and making sure the money was worth the while. It is my number-one priority.…

Lots of talking in circles and lot of cliches in there. Also lots of misinformation. Stacey is new here, so I can forgive her for not knowing that the Business Pork Project has ALREADY been shovel ready for OVER SEVEN YEARS!!! And they have NOT come – despite many on City council telling us that landing a big business was imminent!

SHOVEL READY Q4 2015!!! That would be 87 months ago, sugar

[Rhonda STILL keeps at it. Bravo Rhonda. Ward and Ybarra expected to sit there and babble more vague bullshit but you held their feet to the fire. Witcher asks for specifics AGAIN!]

Rhonda: “Hmmm…ok…how do you do that? You know…how do you go out and find, uh, businesses that want to move here?”

Stacey Ybarra: “That’s part of economic development…there’s a lot of different strategies…you have to continually reach out…it’s about staying the in know…what leads are out there and keeping your ear to the ground…and also cold-calling…”

A lot of strategies? Continually reach out? Cold calling??? No, no, no, no sweetheart. We have been told REPEATEDLY over the last TWENTY YEARS that “the Governor’s office calls us WEEKLY with RFIs (requests for information)“. That was told to us by EVERY economic developer and City manager since that idiot Mike Talbot back in 2004.

Talbert told us last February (when she pilfered $971,000 from the City) that the LEDC was turning businesses away, because the Business Pork wasn’t up to snuff!

Not ONCE did Ybarra say “The Governor’s office calls us weekly with RFIs”!! Not ONCE. Which just reinforces my belief that that line was never anything but a huge lie.

Rhonda then brings up ANOTHER great point of mine next:

Rhonda: “I wonder…does Lampasas have the labor…for these businesses“

Ward then piles on the shit BIG time and blabbers a big bowl of diarrhea word salad and cliches and bullshit:

Ryan Ward: “You know, that’s kind of an interesting thought…we have to reach further out…you hope you can find enough work force…to hire more staff…and that’s always the first priority…not only that there is housing…how are we developing those housing communities? But the growth is coming here…”

Oh, is the growth coming here? No shit! Then why have we been subsidizing all of these housing developments if “they are coming” anyways, you morons? Talbert (as mayor), Williamson, Monroe and the rest have given away hundreds of thousands of dollars to developers over the last couple years. Instead, they should be assessing impact fees to pay for the water, sewer, police and all the rest we will now need more of.

Talbert and the rest always tell us this will all “grow the tax base”. So fucking what? Will our taxes go DOWN? No, they will not. You can bet your ass on that.

So the bottom line? No, we don’t have any prospects for the park – despite 20 years and seven million dollars and lying to you for YEARS that “we get weekly requests for information”. No, we don’t have the labor force to fill any jobs we might get. Oh but don’t worry, we’ll subsidize rich developers like Deorald Finney for houses that would be built anyways and we’ll ship people in from Cove and Austin, if need be.

So at the end of the day, there will be more traffic, more crowding, more houses cramming in on 1/4 acre lots, and your taxes will not ever go down. In fact, you’ll be paying more as we have to now blow millions more on water and waste water.

So tell me again why this is a good thing? Sounds like dog shit to me.

Hideous Socialist Pig Thinks She Knows What Price of Eggs, Bread and Rent SHOULD Be.

Today I learned about a socialist pig named Nina Turner. She thinks she knows what the price of everything should be better than the free market does. Fellow socialist Clayton Tucker clearly agrees.

I wonder why Clayton doesn’t bring some eggs to market. After all, he claims to be a farmer AND a rancher. Surely he can help alleviate this egg shortage by producing some eggs! That’s how the economy works, after all. If prices are SO HIGH, then you should be trying to sell them to make a buck, increase supply and bring prices back down. It’s called the Invisible Hand – even people WITHOUT $80,000 college degrees understand this….

Nina Turner has never been a farmer, or raised chickens, or worked construction, or been a landlord. Nina Turner has spent her entire life in politics, activism, and being a history professor at a small, joke college. You just KNOW she works super hard and is a productive citizen because she posts on Twitter 27 times per day, every day….

Ah yes. Activist. State senator. All-around parasite. Creating ZERO eggs, crops, housing or anything else somebody might actually want and which would increase the supply of these things – and thus, reduce the price.

It must REALLY suck to be THAT hideous AND also that stupid. Boy did she get the short end of the stick.

This woman has literally NEVER worked in the real world. Not once. Not doing ANYTHING, let along swinging a hammer or planting crops or raising chickens – activities that would alleviate the “high prices” of all these things.

Her salary from 2017 (the only year I could find) to be a joke of a professor in a joke subject at a community college was $97,000…SIX years ago. I guarantee you it is closer to $110,000 now. I also guarantee you she didn’t teach shit during Covid and still got a full paycheck. Probably dragged out her return to “teaching” for another year by whimpering about “the pandemic” too, because she seems like that type. But I bet she ate plenty of eggs during those years.

From Govsalaries.com

Her net worth is listed “between $1 million and $5 million” – from being a politician. What a complete piece of shit.

From campaign finance forms

In another tweet, she shows us the poor farm worker who has a shitty life and doesn’t get paid enough. Yet she ALSO complains that food prices are too high. So which is it, you dunce?? You want to pay farm workers more or you want the price of your food to be lower?

Yes…let’s pay Veronica $40 per hour…so then the price of celery will be ten times higher and Nina the activist can bitch about the high price of that, too! Nina doesn’t understand how these two things are related, because Nina is a moron who couldn’t find her asshole with a funnel.

She foolishly thinks she can have both – because she is a (a) college professor who (b) teaches history and (c) female, to boot. So she has no grasp of math or logic or reason at all.

Hey Nina? Why don’t YOU start a farm and pay all the workers $40 per hour? You’d have all the labor you want! What’s stopping you? It’s just dirt and seeds, right? The sun and rain do all the work. It’s all so easy!

Dumb twat.

You know what would help lower food prices? Lower prices for fertilizer and diesel – two HUGE inputs into the food growing process. BOTH of those inputs have skyrocketed in price thanks to socialist greentards…like Nina herself.

The cost of bread and eggs hasn’t changed. A gram of gold will always buy the same amount of eggs and bread. The value of the dollar has changed and that’s the problem. Too many BidenBucks floating around.

You can thank all the libtards who screamed for “free money” a couple of years ago to “stimulate the economy” for the current mess. Libtards like Bruce Haywood….

Yes, it’s just “money from the government”, you fat buffoon. Just whip it up and hand it out! Trillion more BidenBucks chasing the exact same amount of eggs and housing. I’m sure there will be no side effects. Moron.

The Wind Doesn’t Always Blow…But When It Does, It Sometimes Blows Up Pinwheels…

No one’s been killed or injured — yet — but a rash of wind turbine failures is jarring a key cornerstone of the green energy movement, according to a new Bloomberg report. 

The unwelcome trend of malfunctions — which includes both breakdowns and total structural collapses — is being witnessed in the United States and Europe alike. As this rare 2008 video of a collapse indicates, the phenomenon isn’t brand new, but insiders say the frequency is spiking.  

Pinwheel Implodes

Pinwheel Starts Brush Fire

Perhaps most disturbingly, recently-manufactured windmills are among latest string of casualties. “We’re seeing these failures happening in a shorter time frame on the newer turbines, and that’s quite concerning,” Fraser McLachlan, CEO of GCube Underwriting Ltd tells Bloomberg. 

Last summer, a GE turbine that had been installed less than a year earlier buckled in half. Within a week, the same model notched another failure in Colorado. 

Pinwheel blows up

The failures aren’t limited to a single manufacturer or model. The West’s three biggest manufacturers — GE, Vestas Wind Systems and Siemens are all facing hundreds of millions of dollars in additional costs.

The wreckage from the collapse of a 784-foot-tall wind turbine

Bloomberg reports that Vestas, GE and Siemens Gamesa have all confirmed that pressure to quickly introduce more powerful turbines has led to the stumbles. In response, they’re slowing the pace of innovation.  

“Rapid innovation strains manufacturing and the broader supply chain,” said GE CEO Larry Culp on an October earnings call. “It takes time to stabilize production and quality on these new products.” 

Pinwheel Fire in Palm Springs

The damage to bottom lines is already appearing: On Friday, Siemens lowered its forecasted 2023 earnings due to elevated warranty and maintenance costs associated with faulty Siemens Gamesa wind turbine components. GE took a half-billion-dollar charge in its third quarter for higher warranty and repair costs. 

That financial damage to this green energy sector could be compounded in short order, as a higher frequency of claims is likely to prompt a hike in insurance premiums. 

Of course, even when they’re not falling victim to desine flaws, wind turbines are always under steady attack by nature, with lightning strikes inflicting many casualties …and putting on quite a show on the way out.  

Pinwheel Hit By Lightning in Texas

That isn’t the only trouble for windmills. After 7 whales washed up dead on New York and New Jersey beaches in a little over a month, environmentalist are pointing a finger at offshore wind farm development and demanding it be halted pending an investigation.  

And to all you retards like Bruce Haywood and Clayton Tucker who say “oil and gas are highly subsidized”:

I hope everyone who pushes this idiocy onto the rest of us gets pancreatic cancer this year.

Didya Know? City Personnel NOT Required To Live in City

Did you know that City employees are NOT required to live within the City limits? It’s true!

Section 3.07: The city does not require its employees to live within the city limits, but city residency is encouraged. The city may require certain employees to reside within a reasonable work commuting range, as determined and approved by the city manager, particularly those employees who may be required to serve on standby duty.

Why do I bring this up? Well, it appears that our new Economic Development Director doesn’t exactly live here in town. In fact, it appears she may live in Cedar Park or north Austin! That’s quite a commute.

Now, normally I wouldn’t give a good crap WHERE she lives. But think about this delicious bit of irony:

The Lampasas Economic Development Corp has spent the last 20 years and over $7 MILLION dollars on their Business Pork project. Mandy Walsh (our previous EDD) was heavily involved in this project, and I assume Mrs. Ybarra will be as well.

The purpose of this Business Pork is to “bring high-paying jobs to Lampasas”, is it not? That’s what I’ve heard for the last 12 years. That’s what Misti Talbert said when she pilfered $971,000 from the City coffers last February for this project. We heard it from dozens of City council members and other assorted Big Wigs for 20 years now…

“Mrs. Monroe noted the Lampasas Economic Development Corp. is working with the business park south of town on U.S. Highway 183, and she said she hopes the site will attract good employers to Lampasas. [Council member TJ Monroe] – April 14, 2015

So for them to waste that many millions in a desperate attempt to BRING JOBS to this town, it stands to reason that there must be dozens, nay, HUNDREDS of highly-skilled Lampasans sitting around idly twiddling their thumbs just itching to work, right? There must be a mountain of workers and barely any jobs around here if the LEDC needs to spend $7 million on a Business Pork Project to “bring high-paying jobs” to Lampasas.

Not exactly, as it turns out.

Here we had ONE high-paying job out there for Economic Director for the last three months….and THEY COULDN’T EVEN FILL THAT locally! They had to cast their net ALL the way down to Cedar Park and Austin to fill that position!

The fact is, local businesses are STILL trying to fill positions and having trouble. There are STILL “help wanted” signs all over the place. If THEY can’t find workers, how is the fabled “good employer with high-paying jobs” going to find any workers?

I’ve brought this up repeatedly, but it falls on deaf ears. Talbert and City council just keep throwing good money after bad into the black hole known as the Business Park. The fact we couldn’t even find ONE person to fill the EDD position here proves I’m right.
