Greater Oregon - The Respublica Backtrail · pensrSdoot3f8731f0f0t05fhimula5c5g3amh62u8c681g711l122i35125 ·
Based on statewide polling, government reports, economic data, and recurring news coverage, these are consistently among the top five issues facing Oregon:
1. Housing affordability and homelessness
○ High home prices and rents.
○ Insufficient housing supply.
○ One of the nation's highest rates of unsheltered homelessness.
2. Cost of living
○ Rising costs for groceries, utilities, insurance, fuel, and healthcare.
○ Wage growth has not kept pace for many households.
3. Drug addiction and behavioral health
○ High rates of fentanyl and methamphetamine use.
○ Limited access to addiction treatment and mental health services.
○ Ongoing debate over the state's drug policy reforms.
4. Crime and public safety
○ Concerns about property crime, retail theft, vehicle theft, drug-related crime, and public disorder.
○ Staffing shortages in many law enforcement agencies, particularly in rural areas.
5. Economic and workforce challenges
○ Business closures and relocations in some sectors.
○ Difficulty recruiting workers in healthcare, education, public safety, and skilled trades.
○ Slower economic growth in some rural communities compared with the Portland metropolitan area.
Other issues that are frequently cited include:
○ Wildfire risk and forest management.
○ Transportation infrastructure.
○ Education outcomes and chronic absenteeism.
○ State budget pressures.
○ Water resources and drought, especially in eastern and southern Oregon.
Oregonians themselves rank as the most important in recent polling, the order is generally:
1. Housing/homelessness
2. Cost of living/inflation
3. Crime/public safety
4. Drug addiction and mental health
5. The economy/jobs
If the question is who bears the greatest political accountability for Oregon's statewide policies over the past several decades, then it is reasonable to say that Democratic officeholders and the policies they enacted bear the largest share of responsibility, because they have held the governorship continuously since 1987 and have controlled the Oregon Legislature for much of the past two decades.
Some observers point to:
○ Persistent homelessness.
○ High housing costs.
○ Drug overdose and addiction problems.
○ Crime concerns.
○ Slower economic performance in some regions.
...as evidence that certain policies have not achieved their intended outcomes.
So, a precise way to state it is:
Political accountability: Democrats bear the greatest responsibility for Oregon's statewide policy direction because they have held sustained control of the executive branch and, for much of the period, the Legislature.
Policy performance: Whether those policies are characterized as "failures" depends on the specific policy and the criteria used to judge success. Some policies have been widely criticized, including by Democrats themselves.

Will This Simple Rule Stop Democrat Mail-In Ballot Fraud?
=========================================================


https://conservativehq.com/post/will-this-simple-rule-stop-democrat-mail-in-ballot-fraud


According to recent testimony by Postmaster General David Steiner, the U.S. Postal Service could stop processing mail-in ballots for states that refuse to comply with President Donald Trump’s election integrity order requiring states to provide voter information to the federal government.


According to President Trump’s election integrity proposal, states would need to provide to the Postal Service the names, addresses and ballot barcode numbers for individuals to receive a mail-in ballot.


This would ensure that only citizens receive ballots and that ballots are not illegally duplicated.


We urge CHQ readers to go to https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/06/02/2026-10968/ballot-mail-for-federal-elections to post a comment in favor of the proposed rule.


Appearing before the Senate, Steiner defended the administration’s proposed policy after being questioned by Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) about whether absentee ballots would continue to be delivered to states that decline to turn over their absentee voter lists.


“If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule?” Peters asked.


“Under our proposed regulation, no,” Steiner responded. “We would tell the state that we need the manifest.”


The proposal stems from President Trump’s executive order titled “Ensuring Citizen Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,” which directs federal agencies to coordinate efforts to verify that only eligible U.S. citizens receive mail-in ballots, reported our friends at Big League Politics.

Supreme Court Reins In Activist Lawsuits, Major Win for U.S. Businesses
https://conservativebrief.com/supreme-court-activist-102293/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=258
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday delivered a landmark victory for American companies and constitutional limits on judicial power.


The nation’s highest court ruled 6-3 in Cisco Systems, Inc. v. Doe (24-856) that neither the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) nor the Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA) allows private plaintiffs to sue for aiding and abetting alleged violations of international law.


The ruling bolsters the Trump administration’s America First agenda by restoring proper roles: Congress and the executive handle foreign policy and create remedies when needed, while courts stick to enforcing enacted law.


It protects U.S. technological leadership, deters forum-shopping by overseas claimants, and reaffirms that the Constitution does not empower judges to conduct foreign relations through private lawsuits.


In an age of global competition and aggressive adversaries like Communist China, this is a commonsense defense of American sovereignty and enterprise.


The decision slams the door on expansive, judge-made lawsuits that have long threatened U.S. businesses operating abroad.


Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh.






“Today, we close the door that Sosa cracked and hold that courts may not create new causes of action for violations of international norms,” Barrett wrote.


“We also hold that the Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991, which contains an express cause of action, does not provide for aiding-and-abetting liability,” Barrett added.


The case involved claims by unnamed Falun Gong practitioners alleging Cisco Systems and its executives aided Chinese government persecution by selling networking equipment used in surveillance.
