How The Democrats Plan To Steal The Election.

Biden and Trump have clinched the nominations of their parties for President. Everybody is gearing up for a battle between them for the election in November. It’s obvious that Biden is “cognitively impaired.” In blunter language, “brain-dead”. Partisans of Trump are gearing up for a decisive victory.

But what if this battle is a sham? What if Biden’s elite gang of neo-con controllers won’t let Biden lose?

How can they stop him from losing? Simple. If it looks like he’s losing, the elite forces will create enough fake ballots to ensure victory. Our corrupt courts won’t stop them. They have done this before, and they will do it again, if they have to.

I said the Democrats have done this before.

The great Dr. Ron Paul explains one way they did this in 2020. The elite covered up a scandal that could have wrecked Biden’s chances:

“Move over Watergate. On or around Oct. 17, 2020, then-senior Biden campaign official Antony Blinken called up former acting CIA director Mike Morell to ask a favor: he needed high-ranking former US intelligence community officials to lie to the American people to save Biden’s lagging campaign from a massive brewing scandal.

The problem was that Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, had abandoned his laptop at a repair shop and the explosive contents of the computer were leaking out. The details of the Biden family’s apparent corruption and the debauchery of the former vice-president’s son were being reported by the New York Post, and with the election less than a month away, the Biden campaign needed to kill the story.

So, according to newly-released transcripts of Morell’s testimony before the House judiciary Committee, Blinken “triggered” Morell to put together a letter for some 50 senior intelligence officials to sign – using their high-level government titles – to claim that the laptop story “had all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign.”

In short, at the Biden campaign’s direction Morell launched a covert operation against the American people to undermine the integrity of the 2020 election. A letter signed by dozens of the highest-ranking former CIA, DIA, and NSA officials would surely carry enough weight to bury the Biden laptop story. It worked. Social media outlets prevented any reporting on the laptop from being posted and the mainstream media could easily ignore the story as it was merely “Russian propaganda.”

Asked recently by Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) why he agreed to draft the false sign-on letter,Morell testified that he wanted to “help Vice President Biden … because I wanted him to win the election.”

Morell also likely expected to be named by President Biden to head up the CIA when it came time to call in favors.

The Democrats and the mainstream media have relentlessly pushed the lie that the ruckus inside the US Capitol on Jan. 6th 2021 was a move by President Trump to overthrow the election results. Hundreds of “trespassers” were arrested and held in solitary confinement without trial to bolster the false narrative that a conspiracy to steal the election was taking place.

It turns out that there really was a conspiracy to steal the election, but it was opposite of what was reported. Just as the Steele Dossier was a Democratic Party covert action to plant the lie that the Russians were pulling strings for Trump, the “Russian disinformation campaign” letter was a lie to deflect scrutiny of the Biden family’s possible corruption in the final days of the campaign.

Did the Biden campaign’s disinformation campaign help rig the election in his favor? Polls suggest that Biden would not have been elected had the American electorate been informed about what was on Hunter Biden’s laptop. So yes, they cheated in the election.

The Democrats and the mainstream media are still at it, however. Now they are trying to kill the story of how they killed the story of the Biden laptop. This is a scandal that would once upon a time have ended in resignation, impeachment, and/or plenty of jail time. If they successfully bury this story, I hate to say it but there is no more rule of law in what has become the American banana republic.” See here.

But the main way the election can be rigged is by fraudulent “voting.” It’s much easier to do this with digital scanning of votes than with old-fashioned ballot boxes.

Dr. Naomi Wolf explains how electronic voting machines make it easier to steal elections:

“People could steal elections in this ‘analog’ technology of paper and locked ballot boxes, of course, by destroying or hiding votes, or by bribing voters, a la Tammany Hall, or by other forms of wrongdoing, so security and chain of custody, as well as anti-corruption scrutiny, were always needed in guaranteeing accurate election counts. But there was no reason, with analog physical processing of votes, to query the tradition of the secret ballot.

Before the digital scanning of votes, you could not hack a wooden ballot box; and you could not set an algorithm to misread a pile of paper ballots. So, at the end of the day, one way or another, you were counting physical documents.

Those days are gone, obviously, and in many districts there are digital systems reading ballots.” See here.

This isn’t the first time the Left has stolen an election. It happened in the 2020 presidential election too. Ron Unz offers his usual cogent analysis:

“There does seem to be considerable circumstantial evidence of widespread ballot fraud by Democratic Party forces, hardly surprising given the apocalyptic manner in which so many of their leaders had characterized the threat of a Trump reelection. After all, if they sincerely believed that a Trump victory would be catastrophic for America why would they not use every possible means, fair and foul alike, to save our country from that dire fate?

In particular, several of the major swing-states contain large cities—Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Atlanta—that are both totally controlled by the Democratic Party and also notoriously corrupt, and various eye-witnesses have suggested that the huge anti-Trump margins they provided may have been heavily ‘padded’ to ensure the candidate’s defeat.” See here.

In a program aired right after Biden’s pitiful State of the Union speech, the great Tucker Carlson pointed out that Biden’s “Justice” Department has already confessed that it plans to rig the election. It will do this by banning voter ID laws as “racist.” This permits an unlimited number of fake votes:

“If Joe Biden is so good at politics, why is he losing to Donald Trump, who the rest of us were assured was a retarded racist who no normal person would vote for? But now Joe Biden is getting stomped by Donald Trump, but he’s also at the same time good at politics? Right.

Again, they can’t win, but they’re not giving up. So what does that tell you? Well, they’re going to steal the election. We know they’re going to steal the election because they’re now saying so out loud. Here is the Attorney General of the United States, the chief law enforcement officer of this country in Selma, Alabama, just the other day.

[Now Carlson quotes the Attorney General, Merrick Garland:]

“The right to vote is still under attack, and that is why the Justice Department is fighting back. That is why one of the first things I did when I came into office was to double the size of the voting section of the Civil Rights Division. That is why we are challenging efforts by states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, the use of drop boxes and voter ID requirements. That is why we are working to block the adoption of discriminatory redistricting plans that dilute the vote of Black voters and other voters of color.

[Carlson then comments on Garland:]

“Did you catch that? Of course, you’re a racist. That’s always the takeaway. But consider the details of what the Attorney General of the United States just said. Mail-in balloting, drop boxes, voter ID requirements. The chief law enforcement officer of the United States Government is telling you that it’s immoral, in fact racist, in fact illegal to ask people for their IDs when they vote to verify they are who they say they are. What is that? Well, no one ever talks about this, but the justification for it is that somehow people of color, Black people, don’t have state-issued IDs. Somehow they’re living in a country where you can do virtually nothing without proving your identity with a government-issued ID without government-issued IDs. They can’t fly on planes, they can’t have checking accounts, they can’t have any interaction with the government, state, local, or federal. They can’t stay in hotels. They can’t have credit cards. Because someone without a state-issued ID can’t do any of those things.

But what’s so interesting is these same people, very much including the Attorney General and the administration he serves, is working to eliminate cash, to make this a cashless society. Have you been to a stadium event recently? No cash accepted. You have to have a credit card. In order to get a credit card you need a state-issued ID, and somehow that’s not racist. But it is racist to ask people to prove their identity when they choose the next President of the United States. That doesn’t make any sense at all. That’s a lie. It’s an easily provable lie, and anyone telling that lie is advocating for mass voter fraud, which the Attorney General is. There’s no other way to read it. So you should know that. You live in a country where the Attorney General is abetting, in fact calling for voter fraud, and that’s the only chance they have to get their guy re-elected.” See here.

Because of absentee ballots, the voting can be spread out over a long period of time. This makes voting fraud much easier. Mollie Hemingway has done a lot of research on this topic:

“In the 2020 presidential election, for the first time ever, partisan groups were allowed—on a widespread basis—to cross the bright red line separating government officials who administer elections from political operatives who work to win them. It is important to understand how this happened in order to prevent it in the future.

Months after the election, Time magazine published a triumphant story of how the election was won by “a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.”  Written by Molly Ball, a journalist with close ties to Democratic leaders, it told a cheerful story of a “conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes,” the “result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans.”

A major part of this “conspiracy” to “save the 2020 election” was to use COVID as a pretext to maximize absentee and early voting. This effort was enormously successful. Nearly half of voters ended up voting by mail, and another quarter voted early. It was, Ball wrote, “practically a revolution in how people vote.” Another major part was to raise an army of progressive activists to administer the election at the ground level.

Here, one billionaire in particular took a leading role: Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg’s help to Democrats is well known when it comes to censoring their political opponents in the name of preventing “misinformation.” Less well known is the fact that he directly funded liberal groups running partisan get-out-the-vote operations. In fact, he helped those groups infiltrate election offices in key swing states by doling out large grants to crucial districts.

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, an organization led by Zuckerberg’s wife Priscilla, gave more than $400 million to nonprofit groups involved in “securing” the 2020 election. Most of those funds—colloquially called “Zuckerbucks”—were funneled through the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), a voter outreach organization founded by Tiana Epps-Johnson, Whitney May, and Donny Bridges. All three had previously worked on activism relating to election rules for the New Organizing Institute, once described by The Washington Post as “the Democratic Party’s Hogwarts for digital wizardry.”

Flush with $350 million in Zuckerbucks, the CTCL proceeded to disburse large grants to election officials and local governments across the country. These disbursements were billed publicly as “COVID-19 response grants,” ostensibly to help municipalities acquire protective gear for poll workers or otherwise help protect election officials and volunteers against the virus. In practice, relatively little money was spent for this. Here, as in other cases, COVID simply provided cover.

According to the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), Georgia received more than $31 million in Zuckerbucks, one of the highest amounts in the country. The three Georgia counties that received the most money spent only 1.3 percent of it on personal protective equipment. The rest was spent on salaries, laptops, vehicle rentals, attorney fees for public records requests, mail-in balloting, and other measures that allowed elections offices to hire activists to work the election. Not all Georgia counties received CTCL funding. And of those that did, Trump-voting counties received an average of $1.91 per registered voter, compared to $7.13 per registered voter in Biden-voting counties.

The FGA looked at this funding another way, too. Trump won Georgia by more than five points in 2016. He lost it by three-tenths of a point in 2020. On average, as a share of the two-party vote, most counties moved Democratic by less than one percentage point in that time. Counties that didn’t receive Zuckerbucks showed hardly any movement, but counties that did moved an average of 2.3 percentage points Democratic. In counties that did not receive Zuckerbucks, “roughly half saw an increase in Democrat votes that offset the increase in Republican votes, while roughly half saw the opposite trend.” In counties that did receive Zuckerbucks, by contrast, three quarters “saw a significant uptick in Democrat votes that offset any upward change in Republican votes,” including highly populated Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, and DeKalb counties.

Of all the 2020 battleground states, it is probably in Wisconsin where the most has been brought to light about how Zuckerbucks worked.

CTCL distributed $6.3 million to the Wisconsin cities of Racine, Green Bay, Madison, Milwaukee, and Kenosha—purportedly to ensure that voting could take place “in accordance with prevailing [anti-COVID] public health requirements.”

Wisconsin law says voting is a right, but that “voting by absentee ballot must be carefully regulated to prevent the potential for fraud or abuse; to prevent overzealous solicitation of absent electors who may prefer not to participate in an election.” Wisconsin law also says that elections are to be run by clerks or other government officials. But the five cities that received Zuckerbucks outsourced much of their election operation to private liberal groups, in one case so extensively that a sidelined government official quit in frustration.

This was by design. Cities that received grants were not allowed to use the money to fund outside help unless CTCL specifically approved their plans in writing. CTCL kept tight control of how money was spent, and it had an abundance of “partners” to help with anything the cities needed.

Some government officials were willing to do whatever CTCL recommended. “As far as I’m concerned I am taking all of my cues from CTCL and work with those you recommend,” Celestine Jeffreys, the chief of staff to Democratic Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich, wrote in an email. CTCL not only had plenty of recommendations, but made available a “network of current and former election administrators and election experts” to scale up “your vote by mail processes” and “ensure forms, envelopes, and other materials are understood and completed correctly by voters.”

Power the Polls, a liberal group recruiting poll workers, promised to help with ballot curing. The liberal Mikva Challenge worked to recruit high school-age poll workers. And the left-wing Brennan Center offered help with “election integrity,” including “post-election audits” and “cybersecurity.”

The Center for Civic Design, an election administration policy organization that frequently partners with groups such as liberal billionaire Pierre Omidyar’s Democracy Fund, designed absentee ballots and voting instructions, often working directly with an election commission to design envelopes and create advertising and targeting campaigns. The Elections Group, also linked to the Democracy Fund, provided technical assistance in handling drop boxes and conducted voter outreach. The communications director for the Center for Secure and Modern Elections, an organization that advocates sweeping changes to the elections process, ran a conference call to help Green Bay develop Spanish-language radio ads and geofencing to target voters in a predefined area.

Digital Response, a nonprofit launched in 2020, offered to “bring voters an updated elections website,” “run a website health check,” “set up communications channels,” “bring poll worker application and management online,” “track and respond to polling location wait times,” “set up voter support and email response tools,” “bring vote-by-mail applications online,” “process incoming [vote-by-mail] applications,” and help with “ballot curing process tooling and voter notification.”

The National Vote at Home Institute was presented as a “technical assistance partner” that could “support outreach around absentee voting,” provide and oversee voting machines, consult on methods to cure absentee ballots, and even assume the duty of curing ballots.

A few weeks after the five Wisconsin cities received their grants, CTCL emailed Claire Woodall-Vogg, the executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, to offer “an experienced elections staffer that could potentially embed with your staff in Milwaukee in a matter of days.” The staffer leading Wisconsin’s portion of the National Vote at Home Institute was an out-of-state Democratic activist named Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein (my, my – ANOTHER Jewish name popping up – seems to happen a lot). As soon as he met with Woodall-Vogg, he asked for contacts in other cities and at the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

Spitzer-Rubenstein would eventually take over much of Green Bay’s election planning from the official charged with running the election, Green Bay Clerk Kris Teske. This made Teske so unhappy that she took Family and Medical Leave prior to the election and quit shortly thereafter.

Emails from Spitzer-Rubenstein show the extent to which he was managing the election process. To one government official he wrote, “By Monday, I’ll have our edits on the absentee voting instructions. We’re pushing Quickbase to get their system up and running and I’ll keep you updated. I’ll revise the planning tool to accurately reflect the process. I’ll create a flowchart for the vote-by-mail processing that we will be able to share with both inspectors and also observers.”

Once early voting started, Woodall-Vogg would provide Spitzer-Rubenstein with daily updates on the numbers of absentee ballots returned and still outstanding in each ward­­—prized information for a political operative.

Amazingly, Spitzer-Rubenstein even asked for direct access to the Milwaukee Election Commission’s voter database:

“Would you or someone else on your team be able to do a screen-share so we can see the process for an export?” he wrote.

“Do you know if WisVote has an [application programming interface] or anything similar so that it can connect with other software apps? That would be the holy grail.”

Even for Woodall-Vogg, that was too much.

“While I completely understand and appreciate the assistance that is trying to be provided,” she replied, “I am definitely not comfortable having a non-staff member involved in the function of our voter database, much less recording it.”

When these emails were released in 2021, they stunned Wisconsin observers. “What exactly was the National Vote at Home Institute doing with its daily reports? Was it making sure that people were actually voting from home by going door-to-door to collect ballots from voters who had not yet turned theirs in? Was this data sharing a condition of the CTCL grant? And who was really running Milwaukee’s election?” asked Dan O’Donnell, whose election analysis appeared at Wisconsin’s conservative MacIver Institute.

Kris Teske, the sidelined Green Bay city clerk—in whose office Wisconsin law actually places the responsibility to conduct elections—had of course seen what was happening early on. “I just don’t know where the Clerk’s Office fits in anymore,” she wrote in early July. By August, she was worried about legal exposure: “I don’t understand how people who don’t have the knowledge of the process can tell us how to manage the election,” she wrote on August 28.

Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich simply handed over Teske’s authority to agents from outside groups and gave them leadership roles in collecting absentee ballots, fixing ballots that would otherwise be voided for failure to follow the law, and even supervising the counting of ballots. “The grant mentors would like to meet with you to discuss, further, the ballot curing process. Please let them know when you’re available,” Genrich’s chief of staff told Teske.

Spitzer-Rubenstein explained that the National Vote at Home Institute had done the same for other cities in Wisconsin. “We have a process map that we’ve worked out with Milwaukee for their process. We can also adapt the letter we’re sending out with rejected absentee ballots along with a call script alerting voters. (We can also get people to make the calls, too, so you don’t need to worry about it.)”

Other emails show that Spitzer-Rubenstein had keys to the central counting facility and access to all the machines before election night. His name was on contracts with the hotel hosting the ballot counting.

Sandy Juno, who was clerk of Brown County, where Green Bay is located, later testified about the problems in a legislative hearing. “He was advising them on things. He was touching the ballots. He had access to see how the votes were counted,” Juno said of Spitzer-Rubenstein. Others testified that he was giving orders to poll workers and seemed to be the person running the election night count operation.

“I would really like to think that when we talk about security of elections, we’re talking about more than just the security of the internet,” Juno said. “You know, it has to be security of the physical location, where you’re not giving a third party keys to where you have your election equipment.”

Juno noted that there were irregularities in the counting, too, with no consistency between the various tables. Some had absentee ballots face-up, so anyone could see how they were marked. Poll workers were seen reviewing ballots not just to see that they’d been appropriately checked by the clerk, but “reviewing how they were marked.” And poll workers fixing ballots used the same color pens as the ones ballots had been filled out in, contrary to established procedures designed to make sure observers could differentiate between voters’ marks and poll workers’ marks.

The plan by Democratic strategists to bring activist groups into election offices worked in part because no legislature had ever imagined that a nonprofit could take over so many election offices so easily.

“If it can happen to Green Bay, Wisconsin, sweet little old Green Bay, Wisconsin, these people can coordinate any place,” said Janel Brandtjen, a state representative in Wisconsin.

She was right. What happened in Green Bay happened in Democrat-run cities and counties across the country. Four hundred million Zuckerbucks were distributed with strings attached. Officials were required to work with “partner organizations” to massively expand mail-in voting and staff their election operations with partisan activists. The plan was genius. And because no one ever imagined that the election system could be privatized in this way, there were no laws to prevent it.

“Such laws should now be a priority.” See here.

Let’s do everything we can to publicize the steal. That way, we have a chance to prevent it.

Intel Awarded $20 Billion In Chip Incentives For US Plants.

Joe Biden handing out $20 billion in tax dollars to a company that:

#1 – has a market cap of nearly $200 BILLION and

#2 – has wasted hundreds of BILLIONS on stock buybacks to prop up the stock and enrich CEO douchebags. In just ONE quarter in 2021, Intel spent $2.3 billion on share repurchases.

Personally, I hate stock buybacks because of this reason. I’m a free market capitalist, so go ahead and blow all your money on buying your own stock, but go fuck yourself when it comes to taxpayer handouts.

American Airlines did the EXACT same thingand they got BILLIONS from the government. Mainly thanks to that piece of shit John Cornyn.

I wonder if Comrade Clayton will complain about “corporate subsidies” upon hearing this story? I’m guessing not – since Biden is the one handing out free money.

Eve’s Cafe Owner Eve Sanchez Tosses Workers Under The Bus On Her Way Out The Door.

Ouch. Eve got a front-page article in the Dispatch and she used it to kind of take a shit on all her workers. LOL.

I’ve lived here for 12 years now, but I was never a big Eve’s fan for several reasons:

#1 – I’m not huge into German food. Sauerkraut might be the worst invention on the planet – it is dog vomit. Although I do enjoy a bratwurst at the ball game once every five years or so. The schnitzel was good but that’s not something I crave very often.

#2 – the service there was always slow as shit. Eve blames that (in the Dispatch article) on everyone being too stupid to realize it takes TIME to make a good home-cooked meal! “Everyone iz on zere phones! It’s reediculous, you see!! Zeeze peeople zey are vasting zere time on ze iPhone and ze Tiktokken! Zey expect ze Doordashen and ze Uber eats! Zey are all retarded, you zee!”

Yeah, but it shouldn’t take 50 minutes for a fucking bratwurst, lady.

#3 – from what I’ve seen/heard, Eve leans pretty far to the left, politically. So I will always put those people WAY down on my list of places to spend my dollars.

Other than that, kudos to her. To keep a restaurant running for 29 years is impressive. The restaurant biz is a tough one.

But she DID kind of take massive shits all over her workers and the entire younger generation for being unqualified, inexperienced and having no work ethic. LOL. She basically said she can’t get anyone to work there – which means she just shot herself in the schwanz if she’s thinking of trying to unload that place on some new sucker or investor.

“She and her husband Steve have shouldered a heavy burden due to their inability to secure competent staff.” – Dispatch article

This is extra hilarious because the morons at the LEDC have spent 20 years and $7.3 million to build a “business park” to “create more jobs” while at the same time, the existing businesses here can’t find workers. An irony I have pointed out many, many times on these very pages. Too bad the LEDC is skipping their monthly meeting tomorrow or they could all have a good laugh about it!

Now, I agree with her in general when she does her crazy old lady rant. I’ve made the same rant repeatedly on these very pages. Today’s kids are mostly spoiled pussies who whine if they have to work more than four hours or put down their phones for 15 minutes.

On the OTHER hand, I heard from MANY former workers that Eve went out of her way to hire people who had ZERO service experience so she could train them HER way. I totally believe that story, knowing what I know about her. So maybe she brought this on herself.

Maybe Eve should have consulted local socialist bodaggit Clayton Tucker on how to attract more/better workers! According to him, all you have to do is offer them like $40 an hour and you will have all the labor you need! See? It’s so simple! Clayton lives just a couple blocks away from Eve’s in his mom’s house. It’s a shame Eve didn’t seek out his wisdom.

Disclaimer: Clayton Tucker has never worked at or owned a restaurant. Nor has he ever worked a real job in the private sector.

LEDC Decides To Take a Month Off. Shirk Monthly Meeting.

Normally the LEDC meets on the third Wednesday of every month. Well, except in December. And sometimes other months also. It all depends.

I went to see what was on the agenda this week, but it looks like they decided to take a siesta for March this year, to mix it up a little bit!

I mean, there isn’t much going on anyways. It’s not like they just saw City sales tax receipts drop 5% YoY, watched Eve’s Restaurant close down after 29 years, are staring at an empty $7.3 million business park with ZERO tenants anywhere in sight, just saw the Industrial Park agreement blow up and cost the City $45,000, saw Brodie Estates violate an agreement they spent $185,000 on or have a total solar eclipse coming in less than three weeks.

LEDC prez Misti Talbert and her appointed family members/cronies deserve a month off, don’t you think? Job well done. You can’t expect them to waste an entire 56 minutes once a month ALL the time, right?

Bernie Sanders – Who Has Never Had a Real Job – Trying To Dictate New Workweek

Oy vey!

Leave it to a scumbag socialist who has never had a job to try and pose as an expert on the labor market.

Exhausted? From what? Not working for two years during Covid or from cashing all the inflationary stimmy checks, you bozo?

This is the same clown who was kicked out of a commune as a young man because he was too lazy! If the hippies in the commune think you’re lazy, you’re pretty fucking lazy.

Almost as lazy as our own local communist fake rancher. Bernie actually has to like, show up for votes and stuff. He managed to grift his way into a six-figure joke job called “U.S. Senator,” so he had to put in a little bit of effort somewhere along the line, even if just to curry the hippie moron vote in Vermont.

Bernie also somehow managed to find a wife and impregnate her. Must have taken a slight bit of effort.

Then again, she is one ugly mutt, so maybe it didn’t take much effort after all…

Comrade Clayton has accomplished none of that. He can sleep til noon at mom’s house any day he wants. Then he galivants out to Arizona for Farmers’ Union conventions and spends his days posting commie crap on Twitter and Facebook.

Somehow, Bernie the socialist who has never worked a real job has managed to amass three houses and become a multi-millionaire.

Luckily, Bernie is another old fuck who will likely die very soon. I’ll be throwing a party for that one, too.

In the meantime, Bernie: stfu and stop dictating labor practices to the free market. You have no authority to do that in the first place.

Mike Rowe KICKS ASS. He’s like Ricky Roy and Van Berry had a child together.

How Overpaid Are State and Local Government Employees?

Late last year I railed against yet ANOTHER large raise for many already-overpaid City employees at the top of the food chain.

Highest Paid City Workers Got Raises Of Over 4.2% For New Fiscal Year – 34% HIGHER Than The 3.2% Social Security COLA.

I also pointed out that our City employees have gotten some HUGE raises back when inflation was very close to zero:

City Big Wigs Want Raises For Everyone Because of Inflation. Conveniently Forget All The Big Raises When Inflation Was Negligible

The latest data from the BLS confirms I was right once again: state and local government employees are VASTLY better compensated (wages AND benefits) than the poor schlubs who pay their salaries.

 The BLS recently released its employer costs report for the 4th quarter of 2023:

Look at those benefits!!! I have harped on this for YEARS. Finley squawks about “salaries, salaries, salaries” all the time but NEVER mentions the very generous benefits. As you can see above, they are EIGHTY PERCENT HIGHER than private sector workers.

Employer Costs $ Per Hour Comparison

  • State and local government worker’s total compensation is $60.56 compared to $43.11 for private industry.
  • State and local government worker’s salary is $37.53 compared to $30.33 for private industry.
  • State and local government worker’s benefits are $23.03 compared to $12.77 for private industry.

Employer Costs Percentage Comparison

  • State and local government worker’s total compensation is 40.5 percent higher than private industry.
  • State and local government worker’s salary is 23.7 percent higher than private industry.
  • State and local government worker’s benefits are 80.3 percent higher than private industry.

Remember all this in a few months when Finley and Ryan do their annual rain dance for more money to be showered upon themselves. You will hear a lot of bullshit about “being competitive” and “salary studies” but they won’t say a single word about benefits. Nor will there be any comparisons to the suckers who work in the private sector who ultimately pay their bloated salaries.

I Just Informed HEB and Wal-Mart Product Quality Departments That Clayton Tucker Slandered Their Milk Quality In Public Yesterday.

Clayton Tucker considers himself a public figure and an “expert” on all things. A lot of gullible, moron liberals take his word as gospel. Especially senile old ladies like this:

Plight = sponging off mom at age 33.
There is no such thing as “long Covid” – you are just really old and super fat. That’s why you don’t feel good.

So it is very troubling that yesterday he went to a public forum and told everyone there that “every time you eat a bowl of cereal in the morning, you are eating RoundUp and Windex,” because all the milk sold in Texas has Windex in it.

This is demonstrably not true, but Clayton Tucker told the lie anyways to score cheap political points. In fact, this Becky idiot is already repeating the lies on HER social media. See how fast the libel can travel?

I doubt that HEB or Wal-Mart will be happy to know that the Chairman of the Lampasas Democrats and head of another 10 paper LLC organizations (as well as a “ranch owner”!) disparaged the milk supply – and thus both HEB, Wal-Mart and everyone else who sells a jug of milk in the state.

Here is my letter sent to the heads of product quality at both stores:

To whom it may concern,

I was watching a speech yesterday given by a political figure at SXSW in Austin (Clayton Tucker) in which he said a lot of bad things about milk! He claims that all milk has Windex in it, which is patently absurd. However, I thought you’d like to know that a political figure is essentially slandering HEB, Wal-Mart and every other store that provides milk to score cheap political points.

I can provide the link to the YouTube clip with the slanderous talk if you like. Thanks! I just love HEB and hate to see a wormy guy spread lies about the food supply. It could cause a panic, right?

I also sent a similar email to Danielle Nierenberg (danielle@foodtank.com) informing her of food libel laws and the ridiculous false statements made by Clayton Tucker during his appearance there.

Let’s sit back and see what happens. It’s also a shame the moderator of the panel sat there like a dunce and didn’t question Clayton’s ridiculous lies at the time. Peddling slander about the food supply sure could put the “Food Tank” non-profit corporation at risk as well.

Clayton Tucker slanders the milk supply of Texas at the 3:14:05 mark in this video.

Clayton Tucker (and his attorney) might want to familiarize themselves with Food Libel Laws. Texas happens to be one of 13 states where it is a lot easier for producers to sue critics for libel….as well as the False Disparagement of Perishable Food Products Act of 1995. Ask Oprah Winfrey how it turned out for her when she tried to take a shit on Texas beef.

Food libel laws, also known as food disparagement laws and informally as veggie libel laws, are laws passed in thirteen U.S. states that make it easier for food producers to sue their critics for libel. These thirteen states are the following: AlabamaArizonaColoradoFloridaGeorgiaIdahoLouisianaMississippiNorth DakotaOhioOklahomaSouth Dakota, and Texas. Many of the food-disparagement laws establish a lower standard for civil liability and allow for punitive damages and attorney’s fees for plaintiffs alone, regardless of the case’s outcome.

These laws vary significantly from state to state, but food libel laws typically allow a food manufacturer or processor to sue a person or group who makes disparaging comments about their food products. In some states these laws also establish different standards of proof than are used in traditional American libel lawsuits, including the practice of placing the burden of proof on the party being sued.

An example of the situation is the New York Times reporting about “facts from a study showing the amounts of lead found in over-the-counter calcium supplements” being censored.

“Hey! Don’t Put Windex In My Milk!” – Clayton Tucker ‘Joke’ Falls Flat. Crickets From Audience.

As we dissect local communist Clayton Tucker’s three-minute “speech” yesterday (which was really just a regurgitation of false statistics, mis-named chemical compounds and flat-out lies about his ranching history) we cannot neglect to mention the “joke” he told that fell completely flat because it made no sense whatsoever.

According to socialist dunce and fake rancher Clayton Tucker (SDEC-24 TX): “the number one chemical to defrost milk is Windex! So every time you eat that bowl of cereal in the morning…you are eating RoundUp and Windex!” [3:14:05 mark]

No, seriously. He said that. I don’t know where the hell he buys his milk, but mine is liquid when I get it. No defrosting needed. You’d also think a guy that has “always been a cattle family” would have a couple cows to milk out there and not need to go to HEB or Wal-Mart to buy his Windex-filled milk.

Then again, that would require getting up before 9am and doing some work to milk a cow. Socialist scumbags aren’t into actual work. They spend their time at Farmer’s Union conventions and tweeting about equity.

Let’s take a look at what’s in my milk I just took out of the fridge:

Contains: milk. No Windex.

Nope. No Windex. But it occurs to me that PUBLICLY accusing stores like HEB and Wal-Mart of selling Windex-filled milk just might be construed as slander.

I think I’ll email the department of quality control at HEB and Wal-Mart and inform them that Clayton Tucker is PUBLICLY accusing them of selling Windex-filled milk! Something tells me that slander like that could cost Clayton Tucker a LOT of money in a lawsuit.

He finished his “speech” with a ‘joke’ about the Windex milk [3:14:35 mark]

We have to have a NATIONAL system of NATIONAL standards and tell them, ‘hey! Don’t put Windex in my milk!” – waits for laughter. There is none. Moderator makes a weak forced laugh then quickly moves on.

The smug look you give when you think you told a zinger but then nobody laughs…..

A national system and national standards? You mean like the FDA, USDA, EPA, and a dozen other billion-dollar agencies which employ tens of thousands of morons? The FDA which has been around for over 100 years and is run by your beloved Big Federal Government? So if the food is so shitty right now and filled with Windex and RoundUp, I guess your buddies in the government aren’t doing too good of a job, are they?

Moron.


Craterin’ Clayton: Socialist Bodaggit Clayton Tucker Bombs Hard At His SXSW “Speech.” Lies Galore. Mangles Glyphosate. Lies Some More.

Ranching can be pretty, pretty rough.” – [03:13:30 mark] Clayton Tucker, fake rancher who lives with mother at age 33 spewing laughable nonsense to a ‘crowd’ of 13 nerds at SXSW.

Yeah, it looks rough. Look at those calloused hands, washboard abs and broad shoulders.

Well, it was totally worth sitting through about 12 minutes of nonstop buzzwords, bullshit and lies, because comrade Clayton produced copious amounts of falsehoods and contradicted many of his earlier lies in life.

As luck would have it, I had a long drive back from spring break at the exact time Comrade Clayton was “speaking” to the massive SXSW crowds!

Tight camera angle hides the fact there are only 15 people there…

The tl;dr version? Three nerds (Austin City council member Natasha Harper-Madison didn’t bother to show up) who have never created or produced anything in their lives (let alone food for the masses) sat on a stage with great smugness and pomposity to inform us that the government needs to steal a LOT more money from you and hand it to brown and black people so they can eat. Blah blah blah climate change, blah blah blah community empowerment, blah blah blah corporations, blah blah blah equity.

That sums it up.

Here are some great moments out of Comrade Clayton Tucker – who was a “speaker” on this panel and probably yammered for a grand total of 187 seconds over the course of the 18-minute panel.

“It’s a family ranch and I am the THIRD generation at it.” [2:59:30 mark]

Lie.

As you all know, Comrade Clayton has been claiming to be a FIFTH generation rancher for years now. See how easily the communist lies? Like taking a breath. Changing his ‘facts’ as needed. He plastered “fifth generation rancher” all over his campaign materials when he needed to convince voters he was some salt-of-the-earth rancher.

In truth, it doesn’t really matter what ‘generation’ he claims to be because the reality is that he isn’t a rancher at all. Unless a “rancher” is any human who walks around on grandpa’s property taking selfies with goats to post for idiot liberal septuagenarians to gawk at on Facebook.

“Now we are diversifying into goats, because the climate is changing and we felt that’s a little better for arid climate.” [2:59:30 mark]

Lie.

Comrade Clayton previously stated they were raising goats because the cattle industry is SO monopolized (it’s not) that they just couldn’t make it as a small family farm.

Never mind they have been “into goats” since before 2020. Another lie.

To be clear, RX Ranch is NOT failing because a 33-year-old halfwit who just started taking ranching classes four months ago is now in charge of the operation – an operation which doesn’t even have a website. No, no, no. It’s because of climate change and Big Ag.

“I do a lot of work with international trade.” – BAHAHAHAHAHA. Lie. No you don’t.

“What would do the most good? To break up Big Ag. Break up the monopolies. They are CRUSHING small farmers and ranchers.” [3:00:45 mark]

[Note: Comrade Clayton LOVES the government-run education monopoly. He is vehemently against vouchers and school choice. But he HATES monopolies in the farming and ranching industry. Government monopoly on schools: good. Monopolies on ranching: bad. Get it? Yeah, me either – he’s a moron.]

So you are being crushed? I thought you’ve been around three (or five) generations? My non-corporate friends at Winter’s Beef sure seem to be doing alright. Same with R-C Ranch here in Texas. Maybe because they are REAL ranchers who spend their time raising beef and selling it online instead of driving down to Austin to “speak” for 125 seconds in front of 13 to 15 commies to blather lies and cliches.

Say, that reminds me: how’s that website coming for your “ranch,” comrade?

Three months later: no website. Just lots of complaining.

Wouldn’t that kind of be an important task to complete before you go crying to the masses about how climate change and Big Ag is destroying your family ranch? Maybe actually raise some meat and sell it? Nah. Easier to join several farmers unions and cry about how unfair everything is. Even though you have no fucking idea what you’re doing and just took your first beginner ranching classes a couple months ago at age 32.

My favorite part is when Comrade Clayton tried to talk about the evils of Round-Up and fucked up the name of the main chemical in it: glyphosate. That’s GLY-PHOS-ATE, you complete mook.

Comrade Clayton calls it something else:

“Almost every cereal has glyophates [made up word] in them...that’s RoundUp…every time you eat that bowl of cereal, you are eating RoundUp…” [3:13:58 mark]

Gly-0-phates is not a word, you dunce. It’s glyphosate. Plus, the EPA (which is YOUR beloved Big Government protector) says you are wrong.

Wait a sec! Those breakfast cereals are loaded with GLY-O-PHATES?!? Horrible! Terrible! Poison!

Clearly, that didn’t stop Comrade Clayton from going to the store, buying a bunch of glyophate-loaded Froot Loops and then taking a picture of himself being generous by unloading that poison on the poor people! Remember that?

One wonders why a big-time rancher and farmer like Clayton Tucker (RX Ranch SDEC-24 TX) has to go to Wal-Mart and buy chemical-laden cereal shitflakes for the poor when he is the (supposed) FOUNDER and OWNER of a RANCH!! Why not just bring some of your meat or crops over there to hand out? Maybe because you are a FAKE rancher…and a FAKE farmer?

Wait – in 2020, he had goats? Why did he say they just diversified into goats last year? Why did he say he’s a farmer growing crops? Because he is a piece of shit communist liar.

One also wonders why Mister “Save the Poor American Farmer” douchebag went and bought a JAPANESE tractor? Well, his parents or grandpa did, anyways. No way he has the money for that.

We = grandpa or dad. Clayton is broke and lives with mom.

We will poke WAY more fun at this entire thing because there is even more to ridicule…coming soon.

Until then…..

Two fake ranchers, Clayton and Beto, are driving down a dirt road when they come across Penny the donkey with her head stuck in the fence.

Beto says “Man I haven’t had any pussy in months!” He jumps out of the truck Prius and just starts banging the donkey like there’s no tomorrow.

Then Beto looks over at Clayton and says “Hey, do you want any of this?” Clayton replies “Sure….but do I have to put my head in the fence?”

Socialist Twats Who Pushed For Medicaid Expansion Are Responsible For Rural Hospital Closures.

Sadly, there are many, many grown adults out there who are incapable of taking care of themselves – be it due to laziness, stupidity or incompetence. These socialist twats want everyone else to pay for their hospital stays and college….

MANY states fell victim to these twats’ demands and expanded Medicaid – they are now getting killed for it.

10 states did not fall for the Medicaid expansion trap under Obamacare – Texas is one of them, thank Christ for that.

The rest are suffering. Private payers (you, one way or another) make up the loss.

Medicaid Expansion Puts Hospitals at Risk

The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) reports Medicaid Expansion Dramatically Increases Hospital Shortfalls

Medicaid expansion ushered in through ObamaCare has led to program enrollment growth well beyond what was promised or projected. While proponents argue that expansion is a silver bullet to keep hospitals financially secure, this is simply not true.

Because Medicaid does not pay enough to cover the costs to hospitals to provide patient care, hospitals rely on private payers to make up for these losses.

The lower payment rate and more Medicaid enrollees—especially those forced out of private coverage—mean increased Medicaid shortfalls, contributing to lower profit margins. This increases pressure on hospitals’ bottom lines, especially for rural hospitals where fewer patients make it more difficult to make up the shortfalls. The result is hospital closures in expansion states across the country. New data from the Department of Health and Human Services shows just how dire the situation is for hospitals in expansion states.

Not every state chose to expand Medicaid when given the chance beginning in 2014. This provides a real-life demonstration with nearly a decade of data, showing how covering so many able-bodied adults is affecting hospitals. This data can be invaluable for non-expansion states, as well as states that have expanded.

Hospitals in expansion states were in better financial shape before they expanded—but this has since flipped.

The reason for this flip in financial stability in expansion states is that hospitals count on private payers to make up for the reduced payments provided by Medicaid. In non-expansion states, private payers averaged payments of 128 percent of hospital costs, whereas Medicaid averaged only 76 percent of costs.

As a higher proportion of hospital services are billed to Medicaid because of expansion, there are not enough private payments to boost back profits. This is especially true in rural areas without a large patient base to draw from. Thankfully, as non-expansion states have resisted calls to expand, they have not suffered from this shift in payers from private insurance to Medicaid as expansion states have.

Because Medicaid does not pay enough to cover hospital costs, hospitals in most states have Medicaid shortfalls. That is, the difference between hospital payments from Medicaid and the cost of providing services to patients enrolled in Medicaid.

Key Findings

  • Medicaid does not pay enough to cover hospitals’ costs, meaning hospitals need to make up for the shortfallby charging private payers more.
  • In expansion states, hospitals’ Medicaid shortfalls have reached $22.3 billion,increasing by 117 percent since 2013.
  • If non-expansion states were to expand, their hospitals’ Medicaid shortfalls would more than double, from $6.3 billion to $13.2 billion.
  • Non-expansion states should continue to say no to Medicaid expansion, and expansion states should work to roll it back.

Financial Struggles

Several hospitals,especially in rural areas, have recently closed and more are at risk of closing. Another argument made for Medicaid expansion is that it financially helps hospitals, especially rural hospitals.But the data from expansion and non-expansion states does not bear this out.

The more people that are shifted from private insurance to Medicaid, the higher the Medicaid shortfalls, and the lower hospital profits.Hospitals are learning that you cannot become solvent by providing more and more services below cost. This is a surefire way to bankruptcy, not solvency. Nobody would call offering goods or services below cost a successful long-term business plan.

Reality has born this out, with a broad range of hospitals in expansion states closing across the country.In the South, Arkansas’s Crittenden Regional Health had a nearly $7 million surplus before expansion but soon closed after profits turned to losses. In the West, California’s Colusa Regional Medical Center also saw its profits turn to losses soon after expansion and was forced to close.In the Midwest, Illinois’s Westlake Hospital managed a surplus before expansion but by 2019 was operating at a nearly $7 million loss and was forced to close its doors.

Expansion Would Double Shortfalls

Expansion would more than double the Medicaid shortfalls for hospitals in those states,the equivalent of losing nearly 100,000 hospital jobs

Bottom Line

This evidence is clear that any further expansion would only harm the bottom lines of more hospitals by doubling the Medicaid shortfall in any state that chooses to expand. States that have not expanded should continue to avoid the Medicaid trap and those that have expanded should roll it back. 

This was one of the easiest “I Told You So” advance predictions in history.

Best of all, we have a decade of data to prove it thanks to ten states that resisted the trap.

Wrong – the costs went UP in the states who expanded ‘free’ medical care. There is now a mountain of evidence. Thankfully, socialist cunts like this are not in charge.

About to Get Much Worse

Thanks to mass immigration, rather the failure to stop it, things are about to get much worse. Denver provides the perfect example.

Please note Denver Health at “Critical Point” as 8,000 Migrants Make 20,000 Emergency Visits

The Denver hospital system is turning away local residents because it is flooded with migrant visits.

Denver Health has treated more than 8,000 migrants who lack legal documentation in the past year, totaling about 20,000 visits, according to Steven Federico, MD, a pediatrician at the health system.

The majority of these patients are coming from Venezuela and arrive needing treatment for chronic and communicable diseases after making the difficult journey.

In 2020, the health system had about $60 million in uncompensated care costs. Last year, costs sprung to $136 million, a quarter of which came from caring for non-Denver residents.

Obama claimed Medicaid expansion would pay for itself.

Whenever you hear that claim please run.Free government handouts are never free and most often backfire completely.

Congratulations to Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,Wisconsin, and Wyoming for avoiding the Obamacare expansion trap.

The rest of the states need to reconsider the Faustian bargain they entered.

Thank goodness the socialist twats are not in charge here in Texas. We have fiscal conservatism to thank for that.
