OREGON OBSERVATIONS 18 APRIL 2025

Lawmakers to steal Kicker Refund by force (HB 1177). This is every bit as bad as Grand Theft Auto. If they muster the votes to amend Oregon’s constitution (“this would require 100% Democrat votes plus two Republicans in the House and two Republicans in the Senate”), your next year’s estimated $600 kicker will vanish into thin air. They claim they’re out of money, but the Kicker money they steal won’t be used for “basic wildfire prevention like removing fire-threat brush, cut dead-diseased trees, allow for healthy harvesting, maintain forest roads for emergency access or purchase a fast-response jumbo jet super-tanker fire suppressor.” Like I’ve said before, the brain-dead Democrats in Salem are complainin’ about how they’re too broke to use our money for commonsense things, but they’re talkin’ about “a bill to give Hollywood film companies $28 million in tax breaks; a bill to cost nearly $50 million giving all government workers a work-free holiday with the Lunar New Year; a bill to spend $10 million of tax dollars for a private Portland mega-restaurant; a bill to raise through tax gimmicks $800 million for a baseball stadium; a bonus $8 million to art programs; Free food stamps for non-citizens; Free breakfast and lunch for all students — even subsidize our richest neighborhoods; Free mini-fridges, air conditioners, and cooking classes using Medicaid money meant for hospital bills and surgeries.” Let your elected state Represntative or Senator how pissed off you are, and QUIT ELECTIN’ DEMOCRATS!!!

NATIONAL NOTES.1 17 APRIL 2025

Critics blast Democrats’ ‘pathetic’ plan to visit alleged MS-13 gang member deported to El Salvadoran prison. You know, it’s bad enough that our tax dollars have to pay the wages for these Democrats when they get elected, but now we’re forced to buy a plane ticket for the woke progressive bastards so they can fly down to El Salvador to check in on an MS-13 gang member.  I know how to stop it though – QUIT ELECTIN’ DEMOCRATS!

OREGON OBSERVATIONS.1 17 APRIL 2025

Residents urged to secure REAL IDs soon to avoid travel disruptions after deadline. Don’t be too quick to point your finger at the federal government for this’n. If Oregon Democrats hadn’t’ve dragged their feet for so many years to comply with the policy, and then decided to make people pay extra when they finally DID comply, there wouldn’t be any long lines to write about. But they did, so here we are.
