Where U.S. tax dollars go

2011-08-30T16:23:00.000-05:00

Many taxpayers want to know where congress sends the money. Today Wolf Blitzer of CNN revealed that the "Afghanistan War" costs taxpayers $2 BILLION a WEEK. That's not counting the lost lives in this 10-year war overseas. $2 BILLION a WEEK is a cute $24 BILLION a year. That $24 BILLION is borrowed on 25 year notes so on credit this war costs taxpayers around $12 BILLION in finance charges over

Rick Perry Stumbles Through Lubbock

2011-04-01T06:00:00.000-05:00

Rick Perry is fast becoming the stumbling,clueless governor. Perry showed in Lubbock to remind local republicans and media that he's still a dull and out-of-touch as he has always been. Perry wants stronger eminent domain law passed. That sounds ok. Perry wants a statewide freeze on tuition rates and Texas Tech went right out and raised tuition well above the inflation rate. Perry only want "

A new idea

2010-12-19T10:24:00.003-06:00

My new cellphone will now bring my screen captures to LCR blog. The picture above is what happened to Manuel Robles' old truck when a customer rammed into his vehicle after the customer slammed into utility poles when backing out of the parking area. The old vehicle was used to pick up truck stop supplies at other retailers. LCR will now have some exclusive pictures that of course will be public

2010-10-17T13:50:00.000-05:00

Lubbock AJ defied common sense and endorsed both Bill White and Vote For today. 89% of the voters in this year's primary voted in the (R) primary.Less than 4,400 out of 165,000 registered to vote used a (D) ballot. Bill White is a (D).AJ endorsed the obscene "Vote For" in bond issue measure when public opinion is against new debt at high interest rate for non-essential government expenditures.

Tech defeated by OSU Cowboys

2010-10-16T18:13:00.000-05:00

OSU has won in Lubbock for the first time since 1944.Sunscreen was invented that year. One announcer(John Harris)may have even seen an airplane with a "Vote For" ad over the stadium. Before the game I saw democrats Leo Flores and Kenny Ketner at Amigos and encouraged both to get out their voters and I plugged Vote Against. Ketner is a crony of Pam Brink and Flores was anti-Brink in the primary

AJ in shameless promotion of LISD bond

2010-10-16T11:17:00.000-05:00

Terry Greenberg and his staff,excluding Joe Hughes,began their two-week promo of LISD to get their portion of the Vote For PAC slushfund. Today Joe Gulick even went as far as to claim no organized effort has arisen to the bond issue from within LISD territory. AJ is now in lockstep with Ch.'s 11,13,28 and 34 to try and sell voters the obscene $198 million boondoggle that will cost $405 million

Being Clif Burnett

2010-07-18T21:06:00.002-05:00

Clif Burnett has a criminal record from last century. 12 years as a law abiding citizen doesn't erase that. As a blogger I'm hated and feared. People refuse to talk or even send emails or snail mail. Some people won't even acknowledge they know me. I've been called mean,nasty,homosexual,just about all other names that my enemies can think up. I have a few friends like my neighbors and people

Are Democrats Going Out Of Fashion

2010-07-14T07:39:00.001-05:00

President Obama's approval rating is right at 40%. Democrat congress has ratings somewhat lower than that. Republicans are smiling as the economy continues to flounder and voters are frowning at the word democrat no matter who it is. Some pollsters are predicting republican congress,house and senate and Obama's own party could look at him as a one-term mistake. Spending is out of control with no

T-Mobile has tried every trick in the book to promote their brand. Dollar and Thrifty rentals merged and now could be bought up. Radio Shack recently changed to the The Shack. That may not be enough. KIA motors is a Hyundi deal and it could

2010-07-09T09:57:00.002-05:00

Cleveland is not happy today as their self proclaimed "King" has abdicated his NBA throne for a new job in Miami. It's thought he could have got $30 MILLION more to stay in Cleveland but he wants glory of championship. Now Cleveland's owner is claiming James "quit" in 4 recent playoff games and that's another kettle of fish. James brought media attention to Cleveland that no other sports team had

Trading spies for spies

2010-07-09T08:36:00.000-05:00

America has just traded 10 Russian spies for 4 Russians caught spying on Russia for America. President Obama has just unloaded 10 Russians for 4 Russians in a trade that will reduce Russian head count by 6 in the United States.This might work if America would trade 10,000 illegal Mexicans for 4,000 wanted Americans in Mexico. Another barter system that might just work.

West Texas Times and government knuckleheads

2010-07-08T20:07:00.001-05:00

Readers of LCR(parallel blog of WTT) who live in secretive towns like Abilene and Amarillo asked for public record to be published on this blog. I secured public record through U.S.Mail and emails. Abilene,Taylor County and Amarillo governments used every trick in the book to keep public record private. Norm Archibald in Abilene even attempted a "public record for profit" scam that was ruled

Lindsey Lohan Goes To Jail

2010-07-07T18:15:00.002-05:00

Lindsey Lohan was sent to jail after months of due process antics. She fled the country trying to avoid terms of her probation. She did wear an alcohol monitor but failed to attend classes for alcohol abuse. She is typical partyhound that displayed arrogance for due process on grounds she was successful and had popularity with money. The challenge now will be to see if some judge reduces this 90
