Folks, it's happening again. The so-called 'City Council' of Austin has appointed yet another pawn in their grand scheme to turn our beloved city into a dystopian tofu paradise. Meet José 'Chito' Vela, the latest figurehead in the ceremonial role of 'mayor pro tem'—a title so meaningless even the council members can't keep a straight face while saying it. But don't be fooled, my fellow patriots. This is just another step in their plan to indoctrinate us with their 'affordable housing' and 'public transportation' propaganda.\n\nLet's break it down. Vela claims this role gives him a 'soapbox' to stand on. A soapbox? More like a pulpit from which to preach the gospel of bike lanes and rent control! And get this—he's the first man in over a decade to hold this 'prestigious' position. Coincidence? I think not. The council clearly waited until the perfect moment to unleash their male puppet, just when we were all distracted by the latest batch of artisanal kombucha flavors.\n\nBut here's the real kicker: Vela says he's excited to 'meet people he might not have crossed paths with before.' Translation: He's going door-to-door, confiscating your smokers and replacing them with solar-powered tofu presses. And don't even get me started on 'Project Connect'—a thinly veiled plot to herd Austinites into government-controlled light rail cars like cattle to the slaughter.\n\nMeanwhile, former mayor pro tem Vanessa Fuentes is 'enjoying working with colleagues across the city.' Oh, how heartwarming. Or should I say, how suspicious. What are they really collaborating on? A city-wide ban on breakfast tacos? Mandatory meditation sessions in Zilker Park? The truth is out there, folks. Stay vigilant. And for the love of all that is holy, guard your barbecue pits. The tofu overlords are coming.\n\nThis has been your daily dose of reality from Alex Jaxon, the only man brave enough to call out the deep-state BBQ conspiracy.
