City Blowing Over $12,000 To Study A “Mountain Bike Park”. No…Seriously.

You know…because of the many hundreds of cycling enthusiasts we have here. And the many hundreds of people who are super into exercise and fitness in Lampasas. I can’t go 10 minutes without seeing somebody peddling down the street or jogging up the road.

That was sarcasm.

Actually, it was just “one resident approached us” about a possible mountain bike trail park. Kinda like “one resident approached us about a recycling program” two years ago and that quickly resulted in $12,000 being wasted also! Guess $12,000 is the magic number.

Lemme guess: is the mystery resident the brother of the guy who is charging you $12,205 for a “set of trail plans” [page 8 through 16]? LOL. I swear, City council is a lot like little babies with candy most of the time. The problem is that when the vultures take the candy from these naive babies, it’s really YOUR candy. The taxpayer.

Hey guys – deal of the century. Lampasshole Unlimited happens to have a bike park division. Here are some plans you can have for the bargain price of $4,999!

This is a drawing! Not a plan! No engineering! Just like the one you are wasting $12,205 on!

Of course, the $12,205 just gets you a pretty drawing. It’s just the tip of the shitberg, as they say. Next, the “one resident” will come back asking for $250,000 to do all the dirt moving that will be needed. Hey – maybe you guys can hire “Greasy” Chris Harrison to do that! Make sure you hire him to go beg for the money from his former council members. Otherwise they’ll ignore you like they initially ignored S2M2 and their request for $150,000.

During the council meeting [ 10:30 minute mark] Misti lamented that residents need more activities to do “close to home outside” and to get exercise. You know – because of the deadly pandemic and all. The ‘deadly’ virus that Misti herself caught and recovered from easily. That one.

This is also the same Misti and City council that shut down one of the pools this summer! Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t THAT a “close to home activity where people can get outside and get active”? A big, huge, awesome, already-bought-and-paid for pool that sat idle all summer? Yes, I remember that, too.

Kind of like the tennis courts and basketball courts I never ever see anyone using? Or maybe it’s like those volleyball courts over by the pool that was closed all summer. You know – the two courts with no nets that nobody has used in a decade and local Ohio locust Janet Yoder Kraeff-Crozier wants to turn into a community garden now? Isn’t that like an “activity close to home”, too? I bet some dipshit begged City council for those very volleyball courts 10 years ago with the same dipshit argument they are using for a bike trail now.

Or maybe like the walking trails over at Cooper Springs where I’ve seen maybe 7 cars parked over the last year? Like that?

So many of your other plans have turned out so well – why not pile another turd sandwich onto your plate? The business park debacle is not enough, right? Or the Hostess House takeover that is a complete train wreck? Or the $100,000 skate park? Or the $120,000 you handed to Halff Associates for a project that still isn’t done?

Shall I go on?

How about the $400,000 Council approved for a solar energy production site back in 2011? How did that solar project work out for you? Even ‘Greasy’ Chris Harrison was against that waste of money (TJ Monroe was all for it, of course).

Yes, TJ Monroe was voting for idiocy even back in 2011!

Or how about the stupid rodeo arena idea you guys seriously considered spending $2 million on at one point five or six years ago? Or the pipe dream you had back in, like, 2011 or 2012 when you were pitching the 580 Sports Complex itself – and entertained the notion of hosting tons of adult softball tournaments and supposedly stimulating the local economy with softball tournaments?

LOL. I didn’t think you could top that ridiculous softball tournament idea. Yet here we are.

Sounds completely moronic now, doesn’t it? Well – so will this mountain bike trail idea in a couple years.

I usually agree with Mike White but he is dead wrong on this one. Mike HIMSELF even commented [12:40 minute mark] that there is a killer bike park just 20 minutes away that has a ski lift and everything! [Spider Mountain]. Which then begs the obvious question: why don’t the bikers slip on their spandex pants, load up the Prius and haul their little bikes 20 minutes to a multi-million-dollar bike park? Do you REALLY think the “bike pros” from “out of town” who hit those massive slopes are THEN going to say “hey dudes! That little Lampasas place has a couple miles of shit trails! Let’s go there and spend a bunch of money at their restaurants too!”

You make me laugh.

City council wasting $12,000 on this “bike park drawing” is like the fat 54-year-old who hasn’t done so much as take a walk in 9 years but then spends $12,000 on a Peloton exercise bike. Then they use it twice and it sits collecting dust. The “bike park” project will be much the same. Mark my words. Randy Clark was the lone voice of sanity on this – he voted AGAINST the expenditure. Way to go Randy!!

Covid Cult Kids Are Now Paying Price For Their Parents’ Overreaction And Lack Of Critical Thinking Skills

Wow. Friday’s Radiogram didn’t pull any punches. It all but said (1) remote learning is a joke and (2) a LOT of parents and teachers are FINALLY realizing this and are scared (rightfully so) that their “remote learning kids” are falling WAY BEHIND everyone else.

So, keeping kids home to “learn” on the computer was a massive mistake?

Gee….who wouldda thunk it?? Oh yeah….I did. Right HERE 12 days before school started.

I also said it HERE and then posted data HERE. There was plenty of evidence for all this back in June, for crying out loud!

While all these mountains of evidence were growing and easily researched, fools like Bruce Haywood were BRAGGING that he wouldn’t let his kid return to school

I even wrote an entire post entitled “Idiots Like Bruce Haywood Are Going To Cost The Rest Of Us A Fortune” back on July 13th. I predicted that keeping kids home and letting them “remote learn” was a costly joke that would come back to bite these kids in the ass when they fell far behind everyone else.

So now, all these dummy Covid Cult parents will demand special accommodations and scream bloody murder when their kid fails this year. The kids of the SMART parents will be punished as teachers have to spend extra time on the kids whose dumb parents kept them glued to a computer for the last 2.5 months.

As usual, the morons of the world completely screw it up for the rest of us.

From the Radiogram:

“Educators agree the best way to teach children is in person, however due to issues with the Covid-19, many students are remote, or virtual learning. The Dallas Morning News reported on September 3rd that the number of students in Texas that never engaged in their remote learning was 100,000, and 20,000 students were unable to be contacted. More than 2 million public school students are already attending in-person classes, doubled from the start of the school year. However, Texas has about 5.5 million students total.”

According to the Texas Tribune, as the extent of students’ struggles become clear, parents and superintendents are increasingly determined to get students back to school, the pendulum of their worries swinging away from health risks and toward the risks of students not learning at all. “Districts are starting to feel some real internal pressure as educators,” said Joy Baskin, legal services director at the Texas Association of School Boards. “If they feel that there’s enough momentum around getting everyone back, I think that’s their preference.”


Dr. Rascoe of Lampasas ISD shared this with Lampasas Radio “We are continuing it (remote learning) for now but have made several improvements. We have seen a significant increase in the number of students who returned to in person learning this grading period, thus there aren’t as many students using remote learning. We have set greater expectations for remote learners as well and that has helped increase the validity of the program.

I love it. Some nice weasel words in there. Let me translate:

“The pendulum of their worries swinging away from health risks and toward the risks of students not learning at all.“

Translation: “a lot of scared rabbits who were acting on pure emotion and hysteria and using ZERO critical thinking skills are FINALLY coming out of their stupor and realizing how stupendously badly they assessed the risk of dying versus the risk of their kids being ignorant morons who will be failing all the standardized tests this year”

“We have set greater expectations for remote learners as well and that has helped increase the validity of the program.“

Translation: “remote learning is a complete fucking joke and we kinda skated by with it last March/April/May but it is now impossible to hide the vast chasm between the kids in school and the kids in their pajamas all day eating potato chips.”

Another Batch Of Covid Numbers STILL Prove The Covid Cult Is Overreacting

Here are the last three reports as posted by our Mayor:

Over a nine day period, they conducted 501 tests (55 tests per day) and the number of active cases DROPPED massively from 39 to 12.

The only way this could happen is a bunch of “actives” dropped off the list as they recovered and then not nearly as many new cases were added to take their place. There is no way to know how many of each, but even if we take the WORST case scenario – all of the original 39 recovered and there are 12 brand new active cases – that gives us 12/501 positivity rate….or 2.4% positivity rate.

All this masking and panic and stupidity from the likes of Fitzharris and Haywood because of a TWO POINT FOUR PERCENT positivity rate.

Zero new hospitalizations. Zero new deaths.

[Of course, it is ALSO possible that they had ZERO positives in those 501 tests and simply had 27 “actives” recover, leaving us with 12 active cases. Which would give us a positivity rate of ZERO. That would be the BEST case scenario. We have no way of knowing]

You maskholes feeling silly yet?

FURTHERMORE, Governor Wheelchair recently decided to make Lampasas schools guinea pigs for the “free tests for people who feel perfectly fine but want to screw everyone with false positives“. This past week was the first week of testing using the BinaxNOW COVID Rapid Ag test. According to the Radiogram, 42 perfectly healthy asymptomatic LISD staff members volunteered to take the test.

Guess how many tested positive?

ONE.

One out of 42 is a positivity rate of….wait for it….ALSO 2.4%

Care to guess what the false positive rate of the BinaxNOW COVID Rapid Ag test is? It is “between 1.5% and 3%” according to AAAS.

Correct me if I am wrong, but “my calculations show” (a little homage there to Mayor Talbert!) Lampasas recent positivity rate of 2.4% is RIGHT SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE of the “false positive range”.

One might also wonder: “why in the hell would ANYBODY who feels perfectly healthy and asymptomatic go and get one of these tests?”. I certainly wondered that. Are they all moron hypochondriacs? Are they just assholes who want to see our “active case” number get jacked with false positives? Does Bruce Haywood go in there 10 times a day?

Well, there is another explanation: perhaps they want some PAID TIME OFF! Get a positive test then get forced to take two weeks off of work. PAID!

Perhaps some unscrupulous school employees have figured this out. Hell, what’s stopping them from getting tested every week until they invariably hit the jackpot and get a false positive?

This entire thing is totally insane.

Michelle D Moore-Rodriguez Is The Worst Kind Of California Locust Scumbag

There is nothing worse than a locust who moves to Texas from a liberal, high-tax state then tries to implement the same failed libtard policies here and “turn Texas blue”. I detest these locusts with the white-hot intensity of 1000 suns.

It’s even WORSE when the moron locust ADMITS they left their previous state due to “high cost of living” because that means they have identified the problem but are TOO STUPID to make the connection. Christ – a six-year-old child knows better.

I thought our own Janet Yoder Kraeff-Crozier was the worst offender (moved from Ohio to Austin and then Austin to Lampasas because “we couldn’t afford Austin”).

THIS locust “gets involved” by badgering City council to implement expensive recycling schemes and waste resources on a “community garden”

But there is a NEW Top Dummy who takes all the cake.

This moron’s name is MICHELLE D MOORE-RODRIGUEZ and she ticks ALL the scumbag locust boxes.

She first appeared on my screen a few weeks ago by publicly lambasting all Trump supporters as KKK members:

Oh! I get it! HO HO HO! Never mind that if Trump were REALLY a raging ‘racist’ and there was the tiniest shred of proof, the audio loop or video clip would be on auto-repeat on every news outlet in America. But it hasn’t been. So there isn’t any such proof. The only ‘proof’ is that Trump tried to enforce immigration laws ALREADY on the books and keep out ILLEGALS.

Naturally, a moron of California locust Michelle D Moore-Rodriguez’s caliber cannot make the distinction between LEGAL and ILLEGAL immigration:

So, I despised her immediately. I’ll admit, the hyphenated last name didn’t help either. So I went digging to see what kind of moron we were dealing with. Turns out, a CALIFORNIA TRANSPLANT moron! Shocker!! Not only that – she worked as a government bureaucrat IN A TAX COLLECTION AGENCY!!!! She is LITERALLY the problem HERSELF! What an absolute CRETIN!

What an absolute BAG OF SHIT you are, Michelle D Moore-Rodriguez. Instead of moving here, why not just head keep on driving and head on up to New York City? Or perhaps over to that shit hole Portland Oregon? You’d be much happier there with the other “woke” crybabies and douchebags.

Instead, you come HERE to Texas and spend ALL day on Facebook whining about how horrible we all are. If America is such a hopelessly “racist” place, why are DROVES of people from other countries trying to sneak in here? Morons like Michelle can never figure that one out.

She can’t even get her insults straight! I’m pretty sure she meant “uneducated” here…but is too stupid to check her work before posting it:

No Michelle – YOU are the shit show. You and your fellow commie, pinko libtards. PLEASE do us all a favor and head BACK to Commiefornia. We don’t need your brand of stupid here.

The face of the idiot left and California scumbag locusts everywhere

Mandy Walsh And The LEDC Desperately Try to Stay Relevant

These are the stunts you pull to “look busy” when your useless Nerf job is a $101,000 liability on the City government payroll:

News flash: it’s October…NOT April. This idiotic Wuhan Flu scare is over for all but the dumbest hypochondriacs. Get over it already.

Such important meetings they have! Thank goodness we have “round tables” with the best and brightest (and also the LEDC) in there to guide us peons through this terrible, terrible “pandemic”. Hopefully, they will all meet more in the future for the “flu pandemic” we will probably see soon. And the “heart disease” pandemic that is already ravaging the land. Not to mention our “common cold” pandemic which I have been suffering through for 50 long years now.

I would love to know what all these brilliant minds debated but, as always, anything concerning the LEDC is NEVER recorded despite the fact the City wasted $96,000 on a fancy A/V system TO DO JUST THAT!

They also like to meet in secret a lot anyways [see this week’s LEDC packet – page 1 section IX “executive closed session].

But you don’t need to waste time with round tables. The answer to everything can always be found on these pages. To wit:

RINO Roger Williams should do NOTHING. You have already printed $3 trillion of currency out of thin air and handed it out to rich hedge fund pricks and tailored the PPP loan fee incentives so the banks took care of the big companies and screwed the little guy. We don’t need any more of that kind of “help”. In fact, it would be great if you would retire and let a REAL fiscal conservative take your place.

[Fun fact: the scumbag banks (the ones we bailed out 12 years ago) were handed $3.8 BILLION IN FEES for lending out that PPP government money and taking zero risk doing so. Yes you read that right: $3,800,000,000.00 in fees for the pricks at JP Morgan and their buddies. Thanks Roger!]

Brad Buckley – seems like an awesome guy. I plan to vote for him. He and the other Texas reps and senators need to do their jobs and throw Abbott off his throne and rein him in with these bullshit “mandates”. They are illegal. If you’re going to pass a stupid mask law, then go on the record and pass a law so we know who the scumbags are and we can get rid of them. Letting Abbot pull mandates out of his ass is destroying the restaurant and bar industry, just to name a few. I’m pretty sure Brad has already said much the same thing and thinks like I think. No need for a round table for him.

Reps from the LISD – no round table needed…it is quite simple: get rid of the stupid mask mandate for an age group that is at EXTREMELY low risk of dying from Covid. Making 12-year-olds and 15-year-old wear masks is abhorrent. If the parents want to force their kids to wear one, then fine. No skin off my ass. But it should NOT be mandatory. The stats already show that our high school has the worst rate of infection and they are the ones supposedly forced to wear these things. It clearly doesn’t work. End it. Now.

Chamber of Commerce – seriously? Don’t make me laugh. No reason to be there. You have zero power. No round table for you.

LEDC and City of Lampasas – you have ALREADY handed out approximately $150,000 of tax dollars to local businesses…several of which were only open a short time before Covid hit (*cough* Wool & Vine lemonade stand* cough*) and to some that are chains and did just fine during the ‘pandemic’ – like Burger King (which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange). Money well spent, eh? Please no more. You’ve done enough with your sack of Christmas money, Mandy Clause.

My favorite part is the nearly unintelligible babble thrown in at the end of the post (I assume by Mandy Walsh): “…and the ability of our businesses to receive relief funding and maintain operations during the pandemic”

LOL. Mandy, please see all the arguments above. They already GOT a ton of relief!! SO MUCH relief was given, in fact, that sales tax collections for the year are running about TWELVE PERCENT HIGHER than last year. Unemployment in Lampasas is LOWER than surrounding areas, lower than the state of Texas rate and lower than the national unemployment rate.

OH, and Finley was crowing over “budget surpluses” last month. Yeah THAT Finley…the City manager who got a $10,000 raise to $140,000 per year (plus benefits) in the MIDDLE OF THIS SUPPOSED “economically injurious pandemic” and who recommended 3% raises for every single warm body on the City payroll.

Who exactly can’t “maintain operations” right now? Everything looks pretty well back to normal to me. Wal-Mart even took their stupid and widely ignored “walk this way” arrows out of the aisles recently! Hooray for Wal-Mart!

This is all just a bunch of self-important circle jerking to try and justify your EDA “covid money” grant for the failed business park.

Disband the LEDC. Eliminate the useless position of “economic development director” and sell the “business” park land. Enough already.

Masks For Ordinary Flu Are Up Next…

Watch for the idiot Haywoods, Johnsons, Landrums and Fitzharrises of the world to demand this next:

DIAPERS FOR THE ORDINARY FLU, TOO

This was obviously coming because it logically follows. Diapers for the ordinary flu, too…and – inevitably – for the common cold. For everything. Forever.

Diapers in perpetuity.

You can’t logically argue against it if you’ve already accepted the logic of Diapering everyone as a preventative measure against the WuFlu. Which is based on the assertion that anyone might be sick; that anyone could get sick. That someone might die if they get sick.

It’s all perfectly true.

And not just for the WuFlu. Anyone might get one of the many other varieties of flu; the common cold, too.

Someone might even die.

That almost no one who isn’t already bumping elbows with death (i.e., the very elderly and the very sick) will actually die – per the “science” – is politically irrelevant.

This business was never about sickness. If it were, the Diapers would have come off months ago, when the “science” knew that the WuFlu had an Infection Fatality Rate (which means, the number of people with serious symptoms who actually end up dead) about the same or even less than the usual flus.

Which, stated another way, means that everything that’s been imposed on the population wasn’t justified by the facts. That the news was good.

The media would have reported this – if it wasn’t programmed to spread fear instead. The government Gesundheitsfuhrers would have de-escalated what wasn’t necessary by any sane standard, if the standard was in fact public health – as opposed to something else.

The tautology is simple: If it wasn’t medically necessary to force-Diaper the population in previous flu years – which no non-hypochondriac ever suggested it was – then it is not necessary to force-Diaper the population now.

On the other hand, if it is necessary to force everyone to Diaper for the WuFlu then it is necessary to Diaper them for all flus. For everything that might get someone sick who might then die.

It doesn’t matter that Diapering people who aren’t sick and so can’t get anyone sick because “someone” – no one in particular – might be sick or could get sick is the same in terms of the moral principle it embodies as insisting that because a rape might happen and any functional man might be a rapist all men must be presumed potential rapists and made to wear a crotch Diaper.

Which is to say, silly – and evil.

But that’s just the point.

The Diapers must never come off – no matter how not-sick people actually are because the visual of perpetual sickness must never vanish – in order to keep the populace demoralized, alienated and under control, perpetually.

Assistant Secretary of the Army Bruce Jette said so just the other day, though he didn’t say it that way. Instead, he couched it in terms of the “new normal” – weaponized hypochondria:

“I would say we don’t back off the (WuFlu) standards (e.g., Diapering and Distancing) because it will also reduce the impact of flu and other illnesses.” He added: “I don’t see us backing off of using these same techniques even as the vaccine continues to mature.”

Italics added.

Even when Needled, they’ll still be Diapered.

Distanced, too. Because there will always be a flu, whether Wu or some other. The common cold isn’t going away and – somewhere, sometime, just maybe – a granny might die.

Ergo, the Diapers must never, ever come off.

But not because granny might die. That’s just the guilt-trip.

The seeing of faces is far too dangerous. That’s the real trip. The thing being vaccinated against. Every face must be the same face. Uniformity, literally – and speaking of that… the military knows all about the importance of everyone looking the same. The effacement of individuality, the creation of a submissively belligerent collective that follows orders without questions is the basis of all military training. This is appropriate in that context since an army has to move as one, on command. Its individual members must do as they are told, without question.

While this is just the Army speaking – and a mid-tier Army official doing the speaking – it is nonetheless still the government speaking and that ought to prick up the ears of everyone who is sick of Sickness Kabuki.

If soldiers – who are in the age bracket least affected by the WuFlu, being both young and fit – are to be force-Diapered henceforth it does not take a prophet to see where this insanity is headed.

The sad thing is those of us with a brain saw where this was headed five months ago and have fought tooth and nail against forced masks for the young and healthy. Meanwhile a gaggle of useful idiots like Melissa Johnson, Julie Landrum, Bruce Haywood, Hubert Humperdink and Stephanie Fitzharris (to name just a few mask nazis) are HELPING MAKE THIS HAPPEN! Their sad and desperate need to appear “caring” and to virtue signal their wokeness is directly leading to the downfall of this once great nation by eliminating basic freedoms and encouraging tyranny.

Hope you sleep well at night, you morons.

Local Loony “Life Coach” Now An Expert Gardener

Boy, I am going to LOVE watching this fail spectacularly. Actually, I doubt it will ever get off the ground, but one can hope!

What am I talking about? The latest brain-child of our local locust from Ohio-by-way-of-Austin (and stepmom of Austin libtard Stephanie Fitzharris)….none other than Janet Yoder Kraeff-Crozier-(Thunberg).

She even got a write-up in the Lampasas Dispatch!! [page 2 from 9/1/20]

The name should ring a bell. She’s one of our village idiots who never stops crusading for an expensive and useless recycling program here in Lampasas. She even suggested that the City have giant carbon-spewing garbage trucks travel all over and pick up the trash recyclables because she is apparently too lazy to drive her old crappy jars a few blocks to the City’s current recycling drop off.

She believes in numerology, astrology, psychics and is a failed ‘life coach’. She also thinks autistic children are clairvoyant.

Seriously.

With THOSE credentials, why should we doubt her abilities as a Master Gardener who is going to use City property (and presumably tens of thousands of gallons of free City water) to start a “Community Garden” where she can nag you all about the benefits of healthy eating?

While listening to her prattle on at a City council meeting (go to the 46 minute mark) for about 5 minutes, I finally heard Mike White ask the question that anyone with a brain would have thought of right away:

“How do you plan to contend with the deer?”

BAHAHAHAHAHA. I love it. Mike – you crack me up all the time with your common-sense questions and observations while dealing with morons. Her answer?

“We have a six-foot fence”

Anybody care to break the bad news to her?

Oh Janet. Your feeble brain and libtard schemes endlessly enrage and amuse me at the same time. The Master Gardener was content with a six foot “deer fence”! LOL!

The hare-brained scheme as she described it is going to run her at LEAST $10,000 in start-up funds. Probably more. She has apparently gone begging to the Feds for a grant (just like Mandy Walsh!) but she hasn’t gotten very far. If she can convince some private-sector dummy to hand her $10,000, then more power to her. But I sure as hell hope City council isn’t thinking of giving this nut job a single red cent. It will be a colossal waste, and I’ll howl about it even more than the Azbell Electronics bungling.

I suspect it will look at a LOT like the ‘farm’ the idiot Marxists in the Seattle CHAZ zone built and will last about as long….

Seattle's Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone Is No Christiania | National Review
When Marxist retards farm…

I can think of AT LEAST 10 problems with her plan – but I hesitate to write them up here, as I’d prefer to watch this all blow up on its own and not give her any help. But hey, they DO have NINE board members AND a grant writer, according to her. Grab that ‘free’ government money, lady!

Hey, I know: why don’t you ask your annoying step-daughter Stephanie Fitzharris for the money! She’s all about virtue signaling and says that money is no object when it comes to trying to sic a lawyer on me for “slander”. She LOVES to humblebrag on Facebook about her huge house in Lake Travis and her three-week vacations to California and meeting her “neighbor” Owen Wilson. You should ask HER for the dough!

How about it, potato-headed Steph? I think you should cut a check to dear old mom and help her get this doomed disaster project off the ground! I need something to amuse me, and going down to the old volleyball courts to watch Janet make a go of it would provide me with endless entertainment.

Hey dummy: ‘slander’ is spoken. LIBEL is written. However, it’s not libel if it’s true. Go buy a dictionary, you potato headed clown.

It’s “only money”, right? LOL. A lot of rich wives who sit at home gazing at their navel and playing with their inner child talk that way. Why not be a pal and hand Crazy Janet ten grand or so?
