LEDC 2020 Versus LEDC 2021

I love doing these. Catching some of the people in charge completely contradicting themselves with their own words and actions later on. After they get all indignant the first time around when I call them out publicly for being totally full of it.

Who can forget the previous hits like:

Talbert 2017 Versus Talbert 2020

Hostess House 2019 Versus Hostess House 2021

Well, now we have another one.

Remember back on August 12, 2020 when I was lambasting the LEDC for the obvious lies about “economic injury” from Covid? They were trying desperately (and fraudulently, in my opinion) to grab some federal Covid dough to prop up their piece of shit “Business” Park. A project that has been a disaster for about 15 years before Covid showed up. Here is an excerpt from my post:

All these facts didn’t stop City council from lying through their teeth like scumbag welfare queens with their “Resolution Authorizing Application” for this grant – which will be made through Langford Community Management Services. You can find the entire resolution in the City council packets HERE on Page 44.

It partially reads:

“WHEREAS the ‘Applicant’ has determined that the economic activity generated from this project will positively impact the City economy, overall, which has been adversely affected by the COVID19 disaster;

City council then UNANIMOUSLY voted to approve this resolution. You can hear it HERE at the 25 minute mark.

I REPEATEDLY called them out for this whopper of a lie.

Well, it only took them 11 months to admit it, but better late than never. From this weeks LEDC meeting packet (see page 28 under Sales Tax):

Whoopsie!

I’m sorry, I’m not really good at math. So, does the time period of “the last 18 months” encompass last August (11 months ago) when you were spinning piles of bullshit to get a federal grant?? I’m a little confused.

Luckily, LEDC has a brand-new President who is SUPER good at math. At least she was when she was mayor. Maybe she can figure it out!

Inbred LEDC Decides To Inbreed Some More – Talbert Takes The Wheel

It was barely a month ago that I laid out my case for TJ Monroe to be removed from the LEDC. There is simply too much of a conflict of interest – Mayor Monroe overseeing the LEDC (Lampasas Economic Dunces Club) upon which she also happens to sit as a board member.

Ditto for Talbert.

The incestuous nature of these two groups is a large reason (in my humble opinion) that the LEDC has gotten away with wasting MILLIONS and accomplishing nothing – all while the same group of four or five numbnuts get to keep calling the shots.

Instead of maybe taking these facts into consideration, the inbred group decided to double down and inbreed even harder this week. From the 7/16/21 council meeting packet out today [page 149]:

“The LEDC met and voted to appoint Misti Talbert as President of the Lampasas Economic Development Board.”

Seems like just yesterday, I was reading a “Misti-eyed” (get it??) “riding off into the sunset” farewell full of plenty of self-aggrandizement, eh? Actually it was May 26th. Congratulations! You managed to stay out of the limelight for an entire 57 days!

I think maybe she needs a hobby. The lure of the limelight and the narcotic of that low-level celebrity and tiny bit of power is apparently too much to ignore for more than two months.

So, the woman who was behind countless episodes of wasteful spending as mayor for four years is now going to head up the LEDC. The LEDC which, by the way, just voted to take on another $1,500,000.00 in debt AND as a condition of that “favor” BancorpSouth is doing them, to EXTEND their previous loan another 10 years – costing the taxpayers and additional $207,000.

Bravo!! I look forward to several more years of costly bungling by the Dynamic Duo of Monroe and Talbert! Makes my job here SO much easier!

Level-Headed Doctors Don’t Make The News

Dr. Natasha Kathuria is making national news by telling histrionic stories of hospital overload in Austin. Perhaps she is a distant relative of Rhonda Witcher??

The reality?

As of Monday, a whopping 5% of Austin’s hospital beds were occupied by patients with a positive COVID test.

ICU levels are far below prior peaks

Link to Austin/Travis County Covid dashboard.

All hospitals in Austin combined: about 25 ICU/Covid patients per week. In a city of roughly one million.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me TWICE….well, you are a moron if you fall for all of this nonsense a second time. Rhonda Witcher, Chris McDaniel and the rest have ZERO grasp of math, statistics or proportion.

For Sale – White Privilege Card

I’m selling my white privilege card. 

It’s over 50 years old but is in mint condition.  It has never been used, not even one time. 

Reason for selling is that it hasn’t done a damn thing for me!  No free college, no free food, no free housing, no free anything.  I actually had to go to work every day of my life while paying a boatload of taxes to carry those who chose not to work! 

If you are interested, I prefer cash but would be willing to do an even trade for a Race Card which seems much more widely accepted and comes with countless benefits if you fit the profile!

Interested?  Contact me on my Non-Obama cell phone that I pay for every month…

Rhonda Witcher Spreading Delta Variant Fear. Don’t Listen To The Old Fart.

The supposed former “college professor” (who can’t spell correctly) is now an expert on the “delta variant” and the unapproved vaccine they are trying to shove down everyone’s throats. Between her and local moron Christopher McDaniel, it is clear that news of the death of the Covid Cult was greatly exaggerated. They are back and more determined than ever to try and scare you with horseshit.

Bull. Shit. Unless, of course, your daughter is a known psycho and hypochondriac. Like her dad.

According to today’s Radiogram and Rhonda Witcher:

“…it is still very important to get the vaccine. Many families have and will lose loved ones because of the hesitancy to take the vaccine.”

Recall that Rhonda was previously hysterical about “hospitals being overrun!” – which never happened. Why this retard thinks she has ANY credibility left is beyond me. She is an embarrassment to herself and her radio station.

Piss off, Rhonda. Your “delta” assertions are a gigantic pile of garbage. The Delta variant is FAR LESS deadly than previous strains. PERIOD. So please stfu with the fear-mongering, you decrepit old libtard.

Yes – it is more contagious, but WHO CARES about that?? Seriously, these retards STILL won’t accept that “covid” is here to stay forever. It is everywhere – like the flu. Even the super-duper Olympic bubble and strict procedures CANNOT STOP IT, as Japan found out in about 48 hours.

Funny how every single person pushing this vax shit so hard is an absolute rabid liberal who despises Trump. Just a coincidence, I am sure. Politics has nothing to do with it, right Haywood, Tucker, Witcher and all the rest of you?

Is that you, Humperdick??

I always love how people who don’t wear masks (because we know they don’t work) or submit an unapproved vax (because the vax is riskier than Covid to our cohort) are “rednecks” and “dumb hillbillies”. As someone who was valedictorian of their high school class and who attended one of the top 10 universities in the United States, I take umbrage at that.

Remember the good old days (about 2 years ago) when libtards would scream “my body, my choice”? Yeah, that’s out the window – a victim of libtard hypocrisy, like so many other things.

Instead of being a fear-mongering pussy, go out and get in shape and take vitamin D every day. THAT actually helps. Masks and lockdowns DON’T.

If you DO catch this thing, we now KNOW that Ivermectin and HCQ are EXTREMELY effective at treating it. Funny that a year ago when Trump suggested HCQ might work, these EXACT SAME LIBTARDS pooh-poohed the idea because “orange man bad”, right? But we are supposed to believe these same morons now, even though they have literally been wrong about EVERYTHING for the last 18 months?

Suck it, Witcher. Telling people they will DIE if they don’t take the vaccine is a major scumbag move. It simply isn’t true.

Deorald Finney – Who Got Over $125,000 From Talbert Administration – Is Now Listing His $150,000 Houses For $250,000

One of the MANY reasons I gave the Talbert Administration an F on her report card was her many, many expensive giveaways to already-rich developers in her the single-minded (and idiotic) pursuit of “growth” at any cost.

You’ll recall, Talbert handed Deorald Finney FREE electrical hookups for his Stone Valley subdivision – a gift worth $72,000. That’s $72,000 that is not sitting in City coffers thanks to Talbert, Monroe, Williamson and the other council members who voted in favor of this handout.

Finney got even more than that after standing in front of Talbert and Monroe with his silk hat in hand:

“I REALLY need this free shit! I’m building a new mansion! With CORBELS!”

That wasn’t enough. Finney wanted MORE! He wanted ALL the building permit fees waived! The balls on this jabroni, eh?

TJ Monroe and Chuck “The Vampire” Williamson were totally cool with that and voted to give him EVERYTHING. Luckily, they lost that vote 5-2. Eventually they gave Finney everything he wanted EXCEPT the waived permit fees – that was just a bridge too far.

He also assured us that he would sell the houses for “between $150,000 and $180,000” so some of the poor slob taxpayers who were footing the bill could afford to buy some of these homes:

That turned out to be bullshit. Just last October, he was listing houses for OVER $200,000. I wrote an entire article on it:

THIS year, it’s even worse! He apparently decided the market would bear another 25% increase up to a quarter million dollars!

Hey man, SOMEBODY has to pay for the mansions with corbels and trips to Hawaii!!

Finney would just like to say “Aloha” (which means “thanks suckers!) to all of you fools out there who involuntarily contributed to his family trip to Hawaii!!

Great job, City council! Of course, the two biggest morons (Monroe and Williamson, who I think actually share one brain) who voted to give away even MORE stuff to Finney STILL sit on council – and are currently the MAYOR and the MAYOR PRO TEM!

Socialist Parasite Clayton Tucker To Head Lampasas Democrats

Funny how he never posted any shit like this when he was running for City council. It was all kept hidden away and replaced with idiotic platitudes like “I will fight to bring jobs to Lampasas! I will fight for a “Bark Park” for dogs!”.

Now that he got his dick kicked into the dirt by Zac Morris, he can quickly put Bernie Sanders’ balls back into his mouth and Robert Francis O’Rourke’s shaft firmly back into his throat:

Since he can’t win anything running for office, he tries to grab as many unpaid, resume-building titles as he can. He is currently a state director for the Bernie Sanders commie group “Our Revolution” and he is an “advisor” for Ground Game Texas, yet another little splinter group run by fellow Marxist lice Julie Oliver and Mike Siegel:

That’s what these scumworms do. Form dozens of little, tiny “advocacy” groups and appoint each other to the boards. This way, they can list a bunch of “accomplishments” in their resume without actually accomplishing jack shit in real life.

The socialist bum is about to add ANOTHER sinecure to his resume. According to him, he is also about to become Chairman of the Lampasas County Democrats:

[I can see why Robert Francis loves him so much. His tiny little girl fist probably slides in much easier than Jim Hightower’s meaty ham-hand, right buddy?]

Anyways, if you are a “democrat” in Lampasas county, you are no longer a “democrat” in any sense of the word. You’re not just a buffoon like Jimmy Carter who wants to spend a little more on welfare and a little less on the military. THAT was what the 70s and 80s Democrats were like. They were also big on freedom of speech.

Not anymore.

NOW, if you are a democrat in Lampasas, you are a Marxist/commie piece of shit in my book. You have proved it by putting this Marxist bum in a position of leadership. You are 100% for The Green New Deal, Critical Race Theory, forced masking and vaxxing, open borders, sanctuary cities, government takeover of health care, “free” college for everyone, universal basic income, unsecured elections with zero photo ID, Big Tech censorship of “misinformation” and every other idiotic commie idea that is wrecking this country.

By the way, EVERY SINGLE ISSUE I just listed above is something Clayton Tucker has advocated for in black and white. I have links/screenshots of every one of them on this blog.

I thought I was safe from this commie bullshit in the middle of the greatest and freest state in the union. Texas. But here we are – a socialist bum who lives with mom and dad and has never held a real job in his life is now calling the shots for Lampasas democrats. Makes me sick to my stomach.

Fat Lib Scumworms Flee to DC On Private Jet Rather Than Do Their Job

In a move likely applauded by socialist bums like Clayton Tucker and potato-headed morons like Stephanie Fitzharris, instead of showing up for work for the constituents that elected them and who pay their salaries, Texas Democrats hopped a private jet to DC rather than face a vote on making Texas elections more secure.

The most contentious issues for Democrats are cleaned-up voting bills and, especially, photo ID. The problem is that most Americans support photo ID. According to a Monmouth Poll, when it comes to photo ID, 62% of Democrats, 87% of independents, and 91% of Republicans support it.

Texas, with a strong Republican majority, is intent upon passing a bill that the vast majority of Americans would back.

So, what do the Democrats do? Like Brave Sir Robin, they run away.

Plus size and pearly yellows – what every lib man loves.

God. Why are 95% of lib women such disgusting pigs? Is it the bitter politics of envy that drive the Marxists which attract such loathsome slobs? Rosa Delauro is Exhibit A. A disgusting human from Connecticut who has never worked a real job in her life and has held her Connecticut seat for THIRTY YEARS.

But I digress.

In addition to this profoundly anti-democratic act, (remember how the libs always scream about “protecting our Democracy? Even though we live in a Constitutional Republic) the Democrats on the lam seem to have forgotten that Greta Thunberg would be very angry at them for using private jets.  Depending on how many passengers those jets carry, they “create ten times as much greenhouse gas as an economy class traveler on a commercial flight, as well as 150 times more than those travelling by train.”

The state House speaker is signaling he may penalize them, following Gov. Abbott, who already has. Democrats hold an awful lot of chairmanships and vice chairmanships in the Texas House despite the fact that Republicans control it. It would be a shame if anything happened to those chairmanships and vice chairmanships.

Then there’s redistricting, which will be the subject of another special session later this year. District lines and therefore seats will be in some state of uncertainty. The Texas GOP also has a new chairman, elected Sunday, who might have thought about all this. The Democrats’ flight north certainly presents an opportunity.

The Texas Democrats have become a full HOA of Karens, seeking to speak with the manager until the manager — Texas voters — tells them something they don’t want to hear. Texas voters want secure elections in which it’s easy to vote but damn near impossible to cheat. The Texas Democrats don’t want to hear that.

This is so embarrassing for Texas Democrats. It may play well with their base, consisting of Marxist lice like Clayton Tucker and his ilk, but independents are sick of their antics.

Note to Republicans: You have an opportunity to annihilate the Marxist Mob in 2022. Don’t screw it up.

No Mention Of Pool Gassing “Incident” At Last City Council Meeting

Well, looks like we’ll have to sit and wait while the Goldfish swim at the “mezzanine level” to discuss “capital improvement” away from the prying eyes of the taxpaying citizen. “Capital improvements” are the very expensive and usually huge wastes of money like the Old City Hall remodel, the Hostess House, the Mountain Bike Trails and shit like that. Not surprising they do it all hidden away from the camera.

So, I’ll kill a little time by going over the incident a few weeks ago that sent three pool-goers to the hospital after being overcome by fumes.

You’d think an incident that sent three pool goers to the hospital might be mentioned at City Hall in an open forum. Maybe Finley could explain to City council what exactly happened. You know – in the interest of “transparency” an all.

Health | Dozens sickened by chlorine gas in public pool in Utah - Utah

You’d be wrong. Not a peep about it at the last council meeting (which I had to suffer through after the fact, as I was on vacation)

We DID get some headlines from the Dispatch – which came from a “news release” that was “provided by the City”. In other words, they gave their one-sided story. A story that paints an inaccurate picture, I might add.

From the 6/29/21 Dispatch:

Three patrons of the Hanna Springs Swimming Pool were overcome and/or complained about an odor that could have been chlorine. Pool staff immediately contacted emergency personnel, who responded to render aid to those affected.

[False. Emergency personnel did not show up for at LEAST 15 minutes. I’m guessing the staff freaked out and hoped the kid would be alright on his own after puking a few times and failed to call 911 immediately. If they DID immediately contact EMS, then it took EMS 15 minutes to travel an entire 4 blocks or so to the pool. Highly doubtful. It is FAR more likely the pool staff hesitated. But I don’t expect Finley to tell the truth about that. I had friends who were at the pool during this entire ordeal, which is how I know what really happened]

All three patrons were examined further at Advent Health Rollins Brook and released by 7 p.m.

[Ouch. Three swimmers sent to the emergency room. I’ve been to the emergency room before. It costs about $3,000 just to walk in the door – add another $1800 if the ambulance brought you. Who paid for all that? The City? I’d sure demand it if it was MY kid who got gassed!]

City officials said the pool’s pump and motor were off temporarily for repairs and restarted approximately 20 minutes prior to the incident, however it is undetermined whether any correlation existed between the repairs and the odor incident.

[Why in hell would you schedule repairs during swim time? The pool is only open 35 hours a week (out of 168 hours), thanks to Finley causing a labor shortage with his shitty $7.25 wage. The pool is closed ALL DAY on Sunday and Monday. What was being repaired? Finley doesn’t tell us. What I DO know is the workers were still there when the fumes hit – because they came running out of that wooden gate to the left of where the poisonous chemicals are kept.]

[It is “undetermined” whether any correlation existed between the repairs and the odor incident? LOL. Well, then it is one hell of a coincidence, isn’t it?? Again, this is typical Finley-speak to cover his ass. He said the same horseshit during the Great Ransomware Attack of 2019 when he was “unsure” whether every City computer going down at the same time was related or not]

Parks & Recreation staff and Lampasas Fire Department personnel inspected all mechanical areas and found no indication of mechanical failure or leak, according to the news release.

[This is meaningless. It was likely human error. If you accidentally back over a kid in the parking lot at Wal-Mart, you don’t tell the cop “I don’t get it! There was no mechanical failure of my vehicle” and then drive off. It doesn’t work that way.]

Protecting Swimmers from Accidental Chlorine Gas Exposures – Water Quality  and Health Council

The city staff also discussed the incident with Commercial Swim – a Central Texas pool contractor – to seek any additional insight on what might have precipitated the incident. Pool mechanical systems were inspected overnight and early Friday morning, and all were found to be operating normally, city officials said. The pool water is filtered and disinfected using liquid bleach.

[Again – human error wouldn’t show up as “mechanical failure”. Also, why does Finley tell us the pool water is filtered and disinfected with liquid bleach?? Is it to draw suspicion away from the “chlorine” smell everyone said they sniffed? Are they all supposed to think the “chlorine smell” wasn’t actually from the pool but maybe some freak deposit of naturally-occurring chlorine gas located right near the pool? Sorry, but the pool DOES use chlorine….AND sulfuric acid. It says so RIGHT ON THE DOOR of the chemical closet there].

Hey! They spelled “liquid bleach” wrong!

Zero doubt in my mind this was human error. The only other explanations are

  1. Mass sensory hallucinations of smelling chlorine by dozens of people all at the same time….OR
  2. Some wacky prankster smuggled a tank of chlorine gas into the pool area and released it as a joke. That seems unlikely.

Now, do I think someone should be fired over this? Probably not. Hell, the IT Department let ransomware hackers into the City network to ruin about $42,000 worth of equipment a couple years ago. This is small potatoes compared to that. Nobody died or anything. Just some poor kid puking his guts out all over the place in front of dozens of people. Just rub some dirt on that.

But we’ll never know what REALLY happened since Finley couldn’t bother to mention it at the City council meeting to explain the situation….and Mayor “Transparency” Monroe is probably just fine with that.

Back to normal this week, as I was on vacation during the last council meeting. It appears I didn’t miss much – including a lack of discussion over the poison gas incident at the Hanna Pool a few weeks ago! Guess Finley doesn’t want to “get to the bottom” of that one…kinda like the Ransomware Attack of 2019. Just sweep it under the rug and shrug your shoulders, eh?
