Oh boy! Local socialist scumbag Clayton Tucker’s never-mentioned DAD has now jumped into the Sid Miller fray.
Guess what? Dad is ALSO claiming to be a “fifth-generation rancher” just like his idiot son. So are they actually brothers or does the aerospace engineer who works for Firefly not know basic math? Or was Clayton lying when HE claimed to be a “fifth-generation rancher” all those times? LOL. Jesus, what a fucked up family.
At first I figured this was Comrade Clayton himself, posting in his Dad’s account (Pontiac Plus is Dad’s side biz). But after reading it a few times, I’m 99% sure it is someone else and might actually be his dad. Yes, he’s ALSO a terrible writer but in a different way from his son.
The only reason I can think for Howard to make noise like this after SIX YEARS of being silent through Clayton’s countless other failed projects and fuckups is that he is thinking “holy shit, I REALLY need my kid to win this and get his out of my house once and for all.” That’s the only reason that makes sense to me.
There is a LOT to unpack here. Let’s dive in:
#1 – BOTH Clayton and his dad claim to be “fifth-generation ranchers.” This is impossible unless they are brothers. Someone is a liar. Possibly both of them.
#2 – Howard Tucker has stated on MANY occasions (Pontiac Facebook page, recent newspaper interview) to have made a good living in the aerospace industry – with a side hustle modifying and restoring Pontiacs.
Lookie there! It says RIGHT THERE “an engineer by trade.” Not rancher. Not farmer. Engineer. In fact there is ZERO mention in the entire thirty-paragraph interview of any ranch of any kind! Crazy, right??
#3 – Old Howard dug his grave a little deeper with THESE remarks:
Oops. He admits here that his DAY JOB (his REAL JOB) gets in the way of his Pontiac restoration HOBBY. Again – no mention of ranching at all. And yes, he DOES work at Firefly as I deduced about nine months ago.
So as Howard gets on Facebook and cries a river about how Sid Miller won’t “help us poor ranchers” let me fill you in on the REAL Tucker family experience, as I have pieced it together:
Dad has worked in the aerospace industry as a full-time “day job” – this means the federal government is indirectly supporting Howard with federal tax dollars through the space program and its contracts with Firefly and Northrop Grumman. Dad complains his day job leaves him little time for his favorite hobby of restoring old Pontiacs. Of course, all that would logically leave him even LESS time for his OTHER hobby of being a pretend rancher!
Mom worked for the railroad commission and thus ALSO depended on STATE taxpayers for her salary and now pension.
They lived in Georgetown for most of Clayton’s childhood – NOT as “rural ranchers and farmers” or squirrel-shooting hillbillies. Since they had TWO incomes and ONE retarded kid, I doubt they were hurting for money very badly. As of now, they live about one mile from a Starbucks – not exactly “rural dudes,” if you ask me.
Furthermore, the “ranch” (as far as I can track down) ACTUALLY belongs to Terry’s parents – Bob and Ree Wright, whose names Clayton tried to drop and win votes with when he got stomped for City council four years ago:
“Since the 70s” means about 50 years – hardly enough time for FIVE or SIX generations of fake Tucker ranchers to have come into being…unless they marry and have kids at age 10.
In fact, it appears that Howard (like Clayton) owns no ranch land at all! It belongs to his father-in-law. So I’m not sure why he’s crying so much about all this.
Clayton only moved back to Lampasas in 2016, and was a self-admitted “community organizer” for a socialist movement called “Our Revolution” – as I have covered and proved ad nauseum. He didn’t invent his fake rancher persona until roughly 2021 or 2022 after failing THREE times to win political office.
No, the Tuckers are just regular Joes with regular jobs who threw a few head of cattle onto grandpa’s land to get a tax break and then call themselves “ranchers.” We know this because Clayton admitted as much on his fake ranch website:
This pisses me off more than almost anything else the fake rancher has done or said. That’s because Clayton is constantly screaming for more free lunches at school and higher pay for teachers – which is funded by property taxes. Then he turns around and admits he’s trying to scam the system on a fake ranch and pay LESS in taxes. Not that he has ever paid any property taxes in his entire life, because he owns no land. Dad and grandpa pay those.
So in closing, it really takes SOME NERVE for these Tucker fuckers to BOTH make a living off the taxpayer, spend very little time on the “ranch” but THEN COMPLAIN they can’t make a living “ranching” and want Sid Miller to “help out the little guy” – presumably with MORE tax dollars. Shit, I paid $7 a pound for ground beef at M&M today and you assholes can’t make a buck with the FREE land grandpa handed you??
Fuck you guys. Eat a dick.
P.S. – after living here for over 14 years and reading dozens and dozens of articles in the Dispatch about local ranchers, not ONCE have I seen or heard the Tucker name come up. Mark Langford is a REAL rancher, not a hobbyist. The Tuckers are fakes and poseurs. I hope Sid Miller mails you a big bag of horseshit.
