Alex Jones asks US Supreme Court to hear appeal of $1.4 billion Sandy Hook judgment: The Infowars host argued in a filing to the court that the judgment for defamation and infliction of emotional distress violates his constitutional rights...

Where do Texas Republicans get such ideas for public schools? Is it quite typical for private religious schools to hold prayer, probably teacher led, at least once a day? Are the Ten Commandments posted in most private religious school classrooms? An interesting question to ask, because if...

I just remember the awful inflation. A bag of salad used to cost 98 cents at Walmart. Today it's $2.48.

Yet the DOW and S&P 500 are both up. NASDAQ may end with a record close.

Interesting that the far-right Christian think tank, the OCPA, is irritated that OU's financial strategy is to attract more international and out of state freshman students than Oklahomans. OCPA is glad it's not that way at OSU. OCPA also doesn't like it that there are nearly two liberal...

Interesting that South Dakota has the lowest unemployment rate even though its minimum wage is $11.50. In Nebraska, it's $13.50 to go up to $15 in Jan. 2026. The unemployment rate there is 3.0%, slightly lower than Oklahoma. Oklahoma Republicans combined with their donor the Oklahoma Chamber...

It will be interesting to see if the population growth rate in Tulsa goes up from having a Democrat as mayor. Also interesting how Oklahoma City is growing faster than Tulsa with a RINO as mayor. He didn't even openly support Trump! Far-right Republicans hate the mayor because he marched in...

By people, I'm speaking of Republicans such as the Chairman of the Payne County Republicans who has spoken out in support of Trump sending troops to DC. He speaks as a result of maybe crime has gone down there not seen since centuries ago. He further speaks of considering the safety and...

Are Republicans in Georgia going to be brave enough to complain to Trump about this? Anyway, it's just another sign that we're living in the land of Idiocracy, the movie! In the movie, the high level of ignorance was beyond the ability of one sane man of average intelligence to comprehend!

So, let's stick with Gundy for the rest of the season.

The no. 1 problem with firing Gundy is just who the heck are you going to replace him with? I doubt anybody of high quality wants to come to Stillwater with a failed program to contend with.

Most Republicans quite strongly approve of Trump sending in the National Guard to the big cities one by one, especially the blue ones. If as a result the murder rate and other violent crime rates fall at or near zero that will be a big hit with many Americans, leaving Democrats not so likely to...

There was a federal funding freeze placed on homeless shelters. If it remains in effect, homelessness in the streets will only get worse. I have enough compassion that I don't mind some of my federal tax dollars going toward helping homeless people. Too bad a number of Republicans don't feel...

During Trump's first term, it's interesting that he didn't seem to care much that opium production in Afghanistan reached record highs.

It's irrelevant to worry about. It's just borrowed money. As long as enough tax revenue comes in to pay for the interest, it's cool.
