July 28, 2022 Richard C. Morgan

When Jesus fed 5,000 people with only five loaves and two fishes, it was a miracle. Something else happened that day. It wasn’t a miracle but it was supernatural. Here is the rest of the story. The 5,000 were men but if the women and children are included, there was more. It isn’t likely all…

Letter: Rule of law in jeopardy

July 28, 2022 Tim Hendricks

Under the Biden Administration, it appears that those in charge of justice do not support applying equally the Rule Of Law. Examples: Virginia Gov.

July 14, 2022

The push to make medical marijuana legal in Oklahoma was not about helping people in pain as it was about making recreational marijuana 100% legal.

Editorial: More and more dirty politics

July 14, 2022

There was a lot of dirty politics and dark money being spent before the June 28 primary election in Tulsa and throughout Oklahoma.
