If Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy ever wants to stop being a football coach, his next career could be as a philosopher. His recent comments about “liberalism” and “snowflakes” touched off criticism, including the ultra-liberal Washington Post. When asked about football players who transfer to another college because they don’t get to play as much as…
Mayor G.T. Bynum wants to do away with “partisan politics.” It’s just too divisive in his view. Maybe he should register as an Independent instead of a Republican so that the Republicans who voted for him would know more about where he stands. “In Tulsa, people still matter more than partisanship,” Bynum said. That sounds…
The Girl Scouts of the United States of America are mad at the Boy Scouts of America. The BSA, in a move to be more “gender friendly,” have dropped “Boy” from their name and now go by “Scouts of America.” This was an effort to get girls to join what used to be the Boy…
How can Oklahomans fix the liberal Oklahoma Supreme Court so that the justices make rulings base on law instead of politics? Most of those justices – particularly those appointed by liberal governors – have stymied legitimate laws, which were overwhelmingly passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor. A case in point is the…
Tulsa needs to change the method of municipal elections. Here’s the first problem. The primary for the Tulsa City Council election was held on the runoff date for federal, state and county elections.

The Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) scored a legal victory in October for a sociology professor fired for his discussions of conservative world-views in his college classroom. PJI helped Professor Eric Thompson in depositions, administrative hearings, and a multi-day arbitration conducted like a trial. The arbitrator, who found many of Moreno Valley College’s claims against the…
Mayor G.T. Bynum and the Tulsa City Council love to raise taxes and fees to grow government and they are experts at disguising the impact. The latest salvo of taxation is a “tourism improvement district.” This tax scheme would raise an additional $2,300,000.00 a year by increasing the cost of hotel stays. This scheme mandates…
Who cares what the American Academy of Pediatrics thinks? That group, like so many others, has surrendered to progressive national leadership and made pronouncement based on liberal politics rather than science or common sense. The latest news flash is that people who are spanked as children will have more problems as adults than those who…
The New York Times loves State Rep. Chris Kannady and for good reason. The New York Times is perhaps the most liberal and biased newspaper in the nation and is completely out of step with the values and politics of Oklahoma. Kannady is a natural hero for the Times because he wants to purge the…
Tulsa needs a new school board. Reform must come from the top and Tulsa won’t get it from the present board. Recently, the Tulsa Public School Board did their annual evaluation of Superintendent Deborah Gist. Of course, Gist passed with flying colors. That’s because Gist is a liberal educator who is more concerned about growing…
