Part of Kevin Stitt’s campaign is to portray himself as a successful businessman – not a career politician – that can do for Oklahoma what President Donald Trump is doing for America. That theme was reinforced October 18 when Vice President Mike Pence spoke to a crowd of more than 4,000 Stitt supporters at the…
Since PRESDT-45 has put in place tariffs on imports from nations (who have done the same to our exports to them), there has been a continuing outcry in media, at least in the local daily paper, that this will result in much higher prices for purchases here. That seems to be obvious, of course, but…
It began to go wrong in the late 1950s when M. King Hubbert of the U.S. Geological Survey predicted that America would start to run out of oil by the end of the 1960s. His prediction was called Peak Oil, defined as the point at which our nation, and perhaps the world, would use more…
Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John D. Doak plans to work with the Legislature to expand state law regarding short-term limited duration health insurance coverage. In August, the Trump administration finalized rules on short-term policies expanding the maximum duration from three months to 12 months and allowing insurers to renew or extend short-term coverage for up to…

Donald Trump’s attempt to delay the contentious Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule. The judge’s decision reinstates the 2015 WOTUS rule immediately in Oklahoma and 25 other states. Hunter led an alliance of organizations…
Since President Trump made America great as promised, few short-sighted voters still try to follow fake news as the morally Red-Wave enters a fourth simmering year. Kindled by blistering Trump-onomics which quickly ended those short-sighted sanctuary cities and stoked that record 4.1 percent GDP and highest ever Dow Jones in history, the due tax cuts…
Recently I have remarked about the annual Oklahoma Constitution report on the voting records of every member of the State Legislature and bewailed the continuing collectively low conservative voting averages.
