It seems as though some things may be changing to offer some encouragement to those of us who revere the freedom we were born into and the Constitution that was written to guarantee those freedoms as coming from God. As mentioned previously, some of us consider it that it was the doing of God that we were delivered a POTUS that truly knows how to deal with bureaucrats and politicians – both domestic and foreign – for our well-being. A good example of that is he seems determined to deliver on the campaign promises he made in 2016. What a change from recent history since 1988. It is too bad that misguided, uninformed or even illegal voters in several states made it much more difficult in the 2018 elections.
Now it appears that a majority of the voters in Oklahoma had elected a similar sort of governor in the mid-term election of 2018. Like PRESDT-45, he comes from the world of business, not the political ladder of individuals unfamiliar with profit and loss or who just don’t care.
On February 27, the State Senate passed by a large margin a bill coming from the House labeled “Constitutional Carry” and sent it to the governor for acceptance or veto. Governor Kevin Stitt signed it before the offices closed for the day, thus keeping one of his main campaign promises. This was essentially the same bill that was sent to then-Governor Fallin late in the 2018 final legislative session which she did not act on until the last day or two before exercising the veto, after the session was adjourned “sin die” (finally) and an override vote was not possible. Remember: “When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.”
It has been most pleasing to me that my own senator, Sen. Nathan Dahm, has been attempting to get just such a bill through the Legislature since first taking office about six years ago. Incidentally, he is the individual most responsible for the departure from the TV airways of one British (from Canada) talk show host, Pierce Morgan. I bring this up, since at that time he had challenged Nathan to appear on his show by remote from here. Nathan accepted, but at Morgan’s own network studios. Nathan paid his own way to be there. Nathan was so well prepared with past comments of the host that after a short time, Nathan was left alone in the studio. If my information was correct, that was one of the last shows of the host and he left the United States for Canada, but was not accepted back there and ended up in New Zealand.
Now on March 4 or 5, Gov. Stitt had called in to the morning talk show on KFAQ for a session with the host, Pat Campbell. To my delight and relief he stated that he had begun a program of personally visiting each and every state authorities, boards and commissions. So far he has not gotten out of the Capitol building with this, but stated he was most pleased with the warm reception he has received from the staffers. He was told that it was the first time they had ever been visited by a sitting governor. Thus it is no wonder that the state government is so full of waste and misdirection. Once again, this points up the failure of governments managed by career bureaucrats and/or politicians, and makes me more pleased that my claim of politician is preceded by the word “amateur.” That is legitimate because the two times my political campaigns were successful, the office carried zero pay, and only one carried travel expense reimbursement from Monkey Island to Oklahoma City and back to cast an Electoral College vote in 2000.
To counter these glimmers of hope for the future, we should remember that the management of the Democrat Party has been captured by individuals of the Communist/Fascist/Socialist mentality where the truth and honesty is not to be found at all and much of the Republican Party seems to be either similar or individuals too meek and/or gentile to stand up to the aggressive activities and verbosity of the opposition.
Hopefully, we see the rise of a new possible “president” in Venezuela who expressed admiration for PRESDT-45. And, if he is successful in deposing the dictator now in power, it will serve to be a great support in South America. It encouraged me to see that even C/F/S media admit that other nations down there are following our lead in support of the challenger.
