OREGON OBSERVATIONS 14 APRIL 2026

Oregon Republicans race to overturn tax increase as signature deadline looms. If you have a chance, please sign the petition, or, if you want, request to help gather signatures at https://notaxor.com/. In case you’ve forgotten, SB1507 is the one that said Oregon’s not gonna mirror some of the federal tax code anymore, so the state won’t havta extend the same tax breaks that #45/47 gave us. It’s no wonder Oregon has plummeted to the bottom in national fiscal climate rankings. Need another example? When voters approved a change to the Oregon Constitution and created the Kicker, little did they realize – because they keep sendin’ Democrats to Salem – that it was low-hangin’ legislative fruit, ripe for the pickin’. In past years, our Kicker was well over $1000. This year, it was only in the hundreds, and thanks to ANOTHER change put in place by Salem Democrats, it was added to the current year’s refund (instead of an outright check like it used to be). Whatever the amount is, it becomes taxable income towards next year’s obligations. QUIT ELECTIN’ DEMOCRATS!!!

DAILY DELIBERATIONS.1 14 APRIL 2026

CNN Declared Michael J. Fox Dead, Much To Michael J. Fox’s Surprise: “Wtf?” How’s that go? Reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated. CNN’s on its last legs. From 2017 to the start of 2025, it lost 40% of its viewership. In 2025 alone, it lost another 27%. If they don’t turn it around somehow, I don’t think they’ll be around to cover the New Year’s Eve ball drop in Times Square many more times.

DAILY DELIBERATIONS 14 APRIL 2026

Colorado’s latest Supreme Court loss adds to a growing string of culture war defeats. Colorado – the last bastion of self-righteous trans lovin’ religious persecution. You’d think that their first Supreme Court loss would’ve shown them the error of their ways, but it would appear that the definition of insanity applies here: Doing something over and over the same way, expecting different results.

NATIONAL NOTES.1 13 APRIL 2026

Do you trust the government to root out waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars? 16% said hell no. You know why? Because the feds give our tax dollars to the states and tell the states it’s up to them to monitor and regulate the distribution of those funds. In states run by Democrats (there’re 21 of ’em), the bleedin’ hearts in charge of the money have such loosey-goosey policies, they give crooks the combination to the safe. Next thing you know, on a national scale, we’re payin’ BILLIONS for fraudsters to buy yachts, mansions, and 5th avenue accouterments. When the states run outta money, they just ask the feds for more.
