Folks, I’ve got news that’ll make your tin foil hats spin right off your heads. The U.S. government—yes, the same folks who brought you the IRS, TSA, and the mysterious disappearance of your Amazon packages—has just dedicated a post office in Bastrop to some guy named Billy D. Waugh. Now, I’m not saying this isn’t a nice gesture, but let’s be real: when was the last time you walked into a post office and thought, Wow, this place really honors our heroes? More like, Wow, this line is longer than the wait for the next season of ‘Yellowstone.’\n\nAccording to the so-called ‘mainstream media,’ Waugh was some kind of super-soldier—Green Beret, CIA contractor, and, for a brief and undoubtedly soul-crushing stint, a postal worker. Eight Purple Hearts? That’s not a military record, that’s a medical miracle. At this point, the man was basically a walking Band-Aid dispenser. And yet, despite all this, the deep state’s big tribute is… a post office. Not a statue. Not a national holiday. Not even a commemorative BBQ sauce. Just a place where you can stand in line for 45 minutes to mail a package that’ll arrive sometime before the next ice age.\n\nAnd get this—Waugh left the Postal Service because, and I quote, ‘sorting mail doesn’t scratch the same itch’ as hunting terrorists. You don’t say! Who could’ve guessed that after dodging bullets in Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan, alphabetizing bills and coupon flyers just didn’t have the same zing? But hey, at least now his name is forever enshrined on a building where your grandma goes to buy stamps. Truly, the pinnacle of American honor.\n\nHere’s the kicker: Waugh was 72 years old when he volunteered to go to Afghanistan after 9/11. Seventy-two! Most guys that age are yelling at kids to get off their lawn, not hunting down Osama bin Laden. Meanwhile, half the millennials I know can’t even parallel park without crying. Makes you wonder what’s in the water in Bastrop—probably some government experiment to create unstoppable super-soldiers. Or maybe just really strong coffee.\n\nSo, next time you’re in Bastrop, swing by the Billy D. Waugh Post Office. Take a selfie. Mail a postcard. And while you’re there, ask yourself: Is this really the best we can do for a guy who spent five decades fighting for freedom? Or is this just another way for the bureaucrats to keep us distracted while they replace our mailboxes with surveillance drones? Wake up, people! The truth is out there… probably stuck in the ‘lost mail’ bin.\n\nAlex Jaxon is the host of ‘The Lone Star Conspiracy Hour,’ streaming nightly from his bunker (with free shipping on merch—because even patriots need side hustles).
