The chat was literally titled "Houthi PC small group", it's plastered in big bold font right at the top of the screen. It also had what time and what equipment detailed. "buT tHeRe'S nO lOcAtIoN mEnTiOnEd!" "tHiS cOuLd HaVe bEeN gOiNg oN aNyWhErE...." FFS...

John Bolton was surprised nobody in the group suggested a more secure communication channel. He said the govenment has spent many millions to do just that. Since he is Trump's former security advisor, I would figure he has better sense about the issue than Mullin.

Since he is Trump's former security advisor is not an unchained idjit, I would figure he has better sense about the issue than Mullin.

FIFY

This administration: making you long for people you despised at one time simply because they were capable of doing the job asked of them.

To listen to this Republican lady who is running for governor, what a wrong time it is for Gov. Stitt to talk about a flat budget, making government smaller and cutting the income tax. It may be good news to speeders that there is a shortage of 600 Oklahoma highway patrolmen, but like she said sometimes drivers need their prompt help on the highway. According to her, the panhandle may not even have any troopers, instead relying upon local sheriff and police depts. I wonder what is the problem. Are Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers paid less than those in surrounding states? It will be interesting to see how far she gets running for governor.

Gov. Stitt's idea to make government smaller is to abolish the state forestry dept., to save $75 million while giving $50 million to volunteer fire depts. But after the toll of the fires and considering how much fire trucks and other equipment cost, I bet they need a lot more than that. It all surely reflects how poorly the governor and legislature have been supporting fire protection for the state in the first place.

In a press conference, Gov. Stitt called to eliminate the Oklahoma Forestry Department, citing frustration with its wildfire response and potential savings of $75 million.
Legislative leaders are pushing back, saying the department plays a critical role in wildfire prevention and response. Here's how state leaders are responding.

This proposal won't pass in Oklahoma, since it's not patterned after the way Colorado's rec program is done. In Colorado counties and cities can keep rec marijuana banned until the people in those counties or cities vote yes to legalize. It explains why sales of rec marijuana is still banned in Colorado Springs but not in Denver. If it is done that way for Oklahoma, it has a much better way chance of passing. Rural Oklahoma counties won't be able to resist voting yes in large numbers, if given the right to vote on keeping legal rec marijuana out of their counties. Maybe the petition should even include the right to vote on banning medical marijuana. Urban counties will also want to vote yes as they will want in a later vote the same chance to decide if they want legal rec marijuana. Too bad how the petition organizers failed to learn anything from the previous defeat. Or from Colorado.
