The world will end in 12 years. That’s the message from U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York. At a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, Ocasio-Cortez, made that grim statement about global warming. “Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like:…
Why is South Tulsa not a factor in city politics? People who live and work in Midtown and Downtown dominate Tulsa policies and spending. Yet much of Tulsa’s retail business is outside those areas and they produce much of the funding for city government. Not too long ago, Woodland Hills Mall at 71st Street and…
If American Christians were serious about stopping the murder of unborn children, abortion would be abolished in this nation. The first step could be stopping abortion in Oklahoma. This is the United States of America. The founders, in their wisdom, put in checks and balances in the U.S. Constitution. That has been diluted through the…
Unlike so many politicians, President Trump is determined to keep his campaign promises. That’s refreshing. Past presidents compromised at the drop of a hat. The late George H.W. Bush famously promised no new taxes (“Read my lips – no new taxes”) and then made a deal with the Democrats to raise taxes if they cut…
One of the reasons for the ongoing failure in Tulsa Public Schools is the political idealogy of the local school board.

Citizens of other countries are coming to Oklahoma illegally just to have babies and the federal government is forcing Oklahoma government to pay for their medical expenses. Sen.

Hollywood’s war on President Trump is having an impact – on Hollywood. As we enter the season of phony Hollywood award shows, progressive actors, directors, producers and writers seldom waste and an opportunity to blast Trump as a “racist,” “homophobe” or any other nasty tag that suits their fancy. America has had enough of listening…
The partial shutdown of the government that began in January should be blamed on Democrats in the U.S. Senate. President Trump, responding to the will of the people in the 2016 election, promised a secure border and part of that is a wall along our border with Mexico. The continuing resolution passed before Christmas included…
The Oklahoma Education Association, a wing of the National Education Association, deserves credit for getting public education in such a mess in Oklahoma. Last year, the OEA promoted a walkout/strike to raise teacher salaries after the Republican-led Legislature voted in salary increases for public teachers. No amount of tax increases is enough in the eyes…
The Boy Scouts of America are pondering bankruptcy because of legal problems but those are the surface causes. In the 1970s, the Boy Scouts had more than five million members and now they have more than two million. What happened to cause this organization, founded on honor and character, to teeter on collapse? Strike one…
