The Georgia Hour, episode 184: Weasels in the Wires: Georgia's PSC Peril, Data Center Gold Rush, and MORE

from Voice of Rural America

BKP revives his "weasel" nickname for Lt. Gov. candidate Greg Dolezal (aka Jeff Duncan 2.0), spotlighting a Substack exposé on Dolezal’s establishment ties and a photo with Fulton Chair Rob Pitts, contrasting yesterday's restraint.Fresh from Fannin County GOP meeting, BKP praises State Board of Elections member Janelle King's strongest-ever comments (video tomorrow), including DOJ communication on Fulton ballot images post-Trump mention. But alarm bells ring for the PSC race: Data shows Republicans Tim Echols and Fitz Johnson trailing Democrats 33%-53% statewide, with "swing unknown" votes from non-GOP areas. No district meets expectations; rural turnout is dismal. BKP decries unopposed ads targeting GOP candidates, district panic emails, and GOP infighting over winning.He ponders a "wake-up call" loss to curb lobbyist sway but warns it'd hobble Trump's Senate leverage. Hypothetical: If Dems take governor's mansion, GOP House/Senate could "nuke" its powers—exposing hypocrisy on executive overreach.Georgia's data center "Wild West" draws ire: Fastest-growing U.S. market, demanding 10,000 MW (10 nuclear reactors' worth) via Georgia Power's gas plants, ignoring water strain and Plant Vogtle overruns. No impact studies or committees? BKP blasts "blue ribbon panels" for everything else, linking to Burt Jones' family profiting via CON bill for Butts County hospital/data centers.Illegals from Guatemala arrested for trafficking/raping a 14-year-old highlight AG Chris Carr's "sudden" gang unit action amid his gov bid. Fani Willis' Trump case derailed by attorney Ashley Merchant, not Dolezal's boasts. Jeff Duncan woos North Fulton Dems, admitting bipartisan past to flip seats after 30 GOP years.BKP vows candidate breakdowns Oct. 28 in Gainesville, no water-carrying. Reminders: "Albino rhino" Brant Frost, Ponzi victims, "Dennis must go," Kandiss Taylor's struggles. Vote Echols/Johnson to avoid Dem ad blitz like CA/NJ/VA's $66M "election rigging."
