Does your elected official support communism? If they do not actively oppose and/or they choose to support animal rights laws then they absolutely do. Let me explain. In Genesis 1:26 and 1:28 the Bible professes this truth, that God himself gave man dominion (meaning control and rule) over the earth, animals, fish and fowl. What man, group of men or government has the authority to supersede God using the excuse of protecting animals?
Republicans Retained Control of Legislature in the Primary Elections
Oklahoma’s Primary elections were held June 18, and many races for seats in the state legislature were filled because there are only candidates from a single party. For those seats in which no candidate in the party primary received more than 50 percent of the vote, a Runoff Primary Election will be held on August 27 between the top two candidates. The General Election will be on November 5 for the races with there are opponents from other parties and/or an independent candidate.
Overcoming the Dark Side of the Pro-Life Movement, by John S. Michener, Independently Published, 2024.
I can recommend your purchasing this book, regardless of your present position on abortion. Reviewed by Steve Byas When I first started attending Republican state conventions in the 1970s, I became familiar with a pro-life advocate, Tony Lauinger, who was the chairman of Oklahomans for Life. He would wage a courageous battle to get the delegates to include a pro-life plank in the state platform.
Match Up Set for Oklahoma Corporation Commission Seat
The June 18 GOP Primary Election narrowed the list of candidates running for the open seat on the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC). The OCC regulates oil and gas drilling, electric and gas utilities, trucking, pipelines, and telecommunications in Oklahoma. There are three Corporation Commission seats with six-year staggered terms. So, every two years one of the seats is up for reelection. The seat held by Republican Bob Anthony is up for election this year.
Education, Technology, and Control
What could once only be found in the imagination or in a science fiction movie – a scene where human beings are being programmed to override their own free will and freedom of conscience – is now a reality. These social engineering processes are being imposed on large segments of the public, with the aid of technology. The systems are implemented using various methods specifically created to train and control individuals.
Oklahomas Missed Opportunity
Perhaps the most important issue in Oklahoma this political season was whether the state would change the way its justices are appointed to its highest appellate courts. A measure that would have done just that made its way through the Oklahoma State Senate by a 32-14 vote with few Republican detractors. Known as Senate Joint Resolution 34, it also passed the Oklahoma House Rules Committee by a 6-3 vote.
Oklahoma Senate Pro Tem Greg Treat Calls Conservatives Terrorists
In March, two conservative members of the Oklahoma Senate slowed down legislative proceedings on the day of a legislative deadline. Longtime Senator Nathan Dahm (R-Broken Arrow) was joined by newly elected Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin) and participated in what was labeled as a “filibuster.” Several times during the day, Sen. Dahm used debate time to read bills in their entirety – word for word. One bill was over 80 pages long.
A Minimum Wage Always Harms the Most Vulnerable
It’s a dismal fact of political reality that the most damaging economic policies always attract the most popular support. Laws that strangle and distort the free market, suffocate innovation, and destroy wealth, are greeted with wild applause by politicians and their supporters – both of whom consider themselves the most compassionate. But that misplaced compassion, more often than not, inflicts great harm on the people they most wish to help.
Supply or Demand Problem?
The Oklahoma Legislature is considering more than two dozen abortion-related proposals this session. There are only two bills that are pure and principled. Some are symbolic, nothing more than political grandstanding. Still others are well-meaning, but misguided and ultimately harmful. Then, there are those that are truly wicked and dangerous. I will highlight only the most important bills in this article. Every year the Republicans come up with a new strategy to prove their pro-life pedigree.
Distorting History in the Media and in Oklahoma
The lessons to be learned from this event and its reporting by the Associated Press include that we should be cautious in accepting the reporting of the AP on historical events. This year marks the 210th anniversary of the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, which was located in what is now Alabama – then Mississippi Territory – during the War of 1812.
The Globalist Animal Rights Agenda
Does your elected official support communism? If they do not actively oppose and/or they choose to support animal rights laws then they absolutely do. Let me explain. In Genesis 1:26 and 1:28 the Bible professes this truth, that God himself gave man dominion (meaning control and rule) over the earth, animals, fish and fowl. What man, group of men or government has the authority to supersede God using the excuse of protecting animals?
TIDBITS FOR SPRING 2024
Lankford Condemned Over Border Deal On January 27 a resolution was approved by 124 voting members of the Oklahoma Republican State Committee condemning and censuring Sen. James Lankford for his role as a chief negotiator in the Senate border security talks with Democrats.
Time to Rip the Mask off the OCCs So-called Audit Charade
On March 27, 2024, Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) Chair Todd Hiett quietly sent another one-page “audit” to the governor and legislative leaders – this time, of some $700 million of PSO’s February 2021 Winter Storm ratepayer-backed bond financing. This one-pager was remarkably similar to the so-called “audit” of ONG’s $1.3 billion Winter Storm bonds Hiett sent to the same officials in September 2023.

In Oklahoma, governor tests power of tribal gambling
ADA, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma's history is so deeply intertwined with the 39 Native American tribes located there that the state's creation in 1907 was celebrated with a symbolic wedding ceremony between the Indian and Oklahoma territories. The relationship between Oklahoma and the tribes has sometimes been contentious, but one of its undisputed successes has been a 15-year-old agreement to expand gambling in the state.

Lefts Version of Nex Benedict Death Story Unravels
News that a 16-year-old Owasso student died on Feb. 8 quickly resulted in a narrative spread by activists throughout various media outlets: The teenager died as a result of a bathroom assault that was prompted by her self-identification as “nonbinary” amid a culture of violence created by Oklahoma’s “anti-LGBT” laws. But details from the resulting police investigation and medical examiner’s autopsy have demonstrated nearly every detail of that story was false.
In Oklahoma, the oil industry is put on notice
Brian Kalt’s got a pretty funky plan to stop the surge in earthquakes in Oklahoma and save the state’s reeling oil industry. The key is to come up with an alternative to dumping drillers’ waste water right back into the ground, so Kalt’s little company will extract the salt particles, release the purified water into rivers and, then, to defray costs and make the scheme economically viable, sell the salt for use on snowy roads and in industrial machinery.
