Georgia's "Weasel" Candidate Unmasked, Education Crisis Exposed, and GOP Infighting Heats Up!

In this fiery episode of The Georgia Hour, host BKP dives deep into the underbelly of Georgia politics, delivering a no-holds-barred rant on corruption, educational failures, and the 2026 primaries. Kicking off with a scathing takedown of State Senator Greg Dolezal—branded "the weasel" for his slippery tactics and Chicago roots—the host accuses him of inflating his resume by claiming credit for the Laken Riley Act while pushing a "hard-right" platform in his lieutenant governor bid. Drawing from a fresh Substack exposé by Scott Howard, BKP highlights Dolezal's alleged ties to shady operatives like Brandon Phillips (a disgraced GOP strategist with a criminal past linked to tire-slashing and animal abuse), his betrayal of MAGA principles through anti-Trump alliances, and whispers of investments in the infamous First Liberty Building and Loan Ponzi scheme that fleeced senior citizens. The host demands full transparency from Dolezal and all candidates on any Frost family donations, vowing no one complicit in the scandal should hold office.

Shifting to education, the episode contrasts Georgia's dismal rankings—38th in the nation for K-12 performance—with Mississippi's "Miracle" turnaround since 2013. Thanks to reforms like the Literacy-Based Promotion Act emphasizing phonics, direct instruction, and teacher training in reading science, Mississippi surged from 50th to tied for 6th in fourth-grade reading scores. The host laments Georgia's ballooning $13.3 billion FY2025 education budget (up $1.4 billion), which has risen 13% per pupil after inflation adjustment over the past decade, yet yields no results—blaming cronyism where funds "fall off the table into friends' pockets." BKP slams State Superintendent Richard Woods for prioritizing cursive over real reforms, refusing to endorse him and calling for a leader who'll "speak truth to power" amid budget surpluses that could make Georgia No. 1 in education, not just business.

Legal fireworks erupt as Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee recuses himself from the Trump election interference case (involving Giuliani, David Shafer, Shawn Still, and Kathleen Latham), giving 14 days to reassign it—effectively killing it in Fulton and unlikely to move elsewhere due to DA budget hurdles. The host predicts this clears the deck for federal DOJ action under Ed Martin, urging viewers to watch FBI moves post-deadline.

On the Democratic front, a sold-out Carter-Lewis gala in Atlanta featured Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Andre Dickens, plotting a "tougher, defiant" anti-Trump strategy for 2026. Meanwhile, ex-Lt. Gov. Jeff Duncan assembles a powerhouse team for his gubernatorial run, including Kamala Harris spokesperson Michael Tyler, strategist Josh Marcus—signaling national fundraising muscle.

GOP Senate primary drama intensifies: Derek Dooley hauls in $1.8 million (with $1.7M cash on hand), boosted by Kemp allies like ex-Synovus exec Jimmy Blanchard and super PAC ads, positioning him as Kemp's proxy if Trump stays neutral. Mike Collins counters with $1.9M from 40,000 small-dollar donors ($47 average) across all 159 counties and 50 states, plus a $1M congressional transfer ($2.4M on hand)—but needs big whales to sustain. Buddy Carter self-funds aggressively but hasn't reported Q3 totals yet, while incumbent Jon Ossoff sits on $15.5M. Warnings of a "costly, nasty" race and questions Kandiss Taylor's silence on endorser Stew Peters' inflammatory comments about assassinating Charlie Kirk.
Wrapping with GRA scandals, the host blasts the Georgia Republican Assembly for 61 ethics violations tied to First Liberty donations via Brett Frost V's PAC, demanding resignations from leaders Alex Johnson and Nathaniel Darnell for enabling the scam. Alabama probes deepen, implicating Frost family donors in conservative circles. Finally, Marjorie Taylor Greene's latest tweet blasts "good ol' boy" GOP control for high taxes and poor education rankings, hinting at her wildcard influence—no endorsements yet, but she's "blowing holes" in the establishment.

Clocking in at a rapid-fire hour, this episode is a must-listen for Georgia politicos: a clarion call to clean house, demand accountability, and prioritize kids over cronies. Tune in tomorrow at 8 AM for more unfiltered truth!
