Political Coffee 10-7-26: Never forget Oct 7th, are voters fed up enough to elect Drazan? Should Drazan propose suspending the gas tax? leftist spin on why OR electric rates will increase and is calling someone a 'tranny' a slur?

And it's fake because, and here's the headline, why Oregon households are projected to take the biggest energy cost hit in the country.

And it's not what you think, folks.

I mean, even here in Maine, along with others, including Dick Tate, folks, and the directors of every non-investor electric utility company in Oregon.

Every one of them.

Predicting that because of TINACO taxes joining the federal lawsuit by the crazy, loony, environmental wackos, as I call them, to force the reduction in hydroelectric damn power to force it to be reduced so that we can still more water for salmon.

She joined that lawsuit after the Trump administration dropped out of it.

Every one of these non-investor utilities in Oregon have signed onto a letter, we've talked about this before, to the governor saying your joining of this lawsuit, if it is successful, will force us to go buy more expensive power because there ain't enough power to meet all the needs of Oregon.

This article, you would think, like its headline, reinforces that You would be wrong.

This is the quintessential fake news.

Central Oregon Daily, Travis Pittman, the digital director.

This is from two days ago.

The Associated Press reports that Oregonians will pay an extra $9,300 for energy between now and... my lightning-quick mind, isn't that 16 years? And you know, the analysis from the group is what the Associated Press is citing.

And you're not going to believe The basic premise of their analysis.

It will blow your mind.

Because it defies all common sense.

But you know what? You could use it.

You could use it to have persuadable conversations with persuadable people.

Now, in a moment, we're going to go to the phone.

It's 503-589-1220.

Again, that's the name of the Bergantix call-in conference.

We'll talk to Kathy in a moment.

And you, is it an anti-transgender slur to call somebody who supports, I don't care who it is, to be somebody running for office, to be somebody you work with, or, I don't know, a politician, to call them a trainee? The fake news story in the fish wrap.

Again, it's totaled with fake news.

Okay? Now, a lot of Trump faces bipartisan outrage at the nicknaming a South Carolina Democrat an anti-trans slur.

So it's a slur now to say But he called Amy Ingers.
