Governor Stitt Calls Us “Political Animals”, The Oklahoman Calls Us “Far Right-Wing” – Who Really ARE HD32 Jim Shaw Supporters?

It is a very sad thing to have to say, but we’ve come to a point in our country when the basic values held by so many in America – particularly rural Americans – of hard work, faith in Jesus Christ, love of family, patriotism, being neighborly and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps without bending the knee and kissing the ring of government, are being out right demonized.

And not just demonized by a media many Americans today have begun to realize merely manufacture government propaganda rather than reporting actual news, but by their own elected representatives and fellow citizens.

This primary season, a young man from HD32 – a district which bumps up against the border of eastern Oklahoma county where I live – decided he had great concerns about what was happening in his backyard.

Plans are being enacted by private ‘green energy’ companies (which get American tax-payer subsidies and couldn’t exist in the free market without them) to create wind generation installations in the back 40’s of these Oklahomans – some of whom have maintained family ownership of their properties since statehood. Most landowners don’t want that, yet absentee owners have sold out for the promise of the dollars they think they can collect while ruining the health and vitality of the land of their on-site neighbors with giant, bird-killing, non-compostable, oil-leaking monstrosities and they’re nervous about keeping their land intact. [If you’re interested in the problems with this ‘technology’, you can find a full podcast on the issue here.]

His own Representative, Kevin Wallace (Chairman of the House Appropriations and Budget Committee – a very powerful position in state government because it holds the purse strings to how Oklahoman’s tax dollars are spent), admitted to dumping human waste on his property as fertilizer twice and then defended it by saying that it was legal in Oklahoma to do so.

Biosludge is a nightmare. It smells so badly that neighbors who live downwind of an application often can’t take full breaths outdoors, it draws flies and it contains everything that goes down the sewers in Oklahoma county from pharmaceuticals to industrial chemicals. Like many of his neighbors, this young man had developed great concerns about what this substance could do to the health of his family and his neighbors, but also the health of the aquifer from which we ALL draw in this region. [If you’re interested in the problems with biosludge, you can find a full podcast on the issue here.]

And these are just a few of the concerns residents in the district have had for years.

After realizing that no one – including Wallace – seemed to be confronting the issues that affected them beyond giving them lip service, entrepreneur and family man, HD32 resident, Jim Shaw, decided he needed to run against his politically powerful representative to try and do something about these issues for his neighbors and himself, running on a platform of Land, Livelihoods and Legacies.

The incumbent conducted his campaign abysmally. Wallace called Shaw (a political newcomer and a neighbor) a liar and a hypocrite via social media, direct mail and video ads nearly daily, and – late in the campaign – posted a Google Earth photo of Shaw’s farm with his address clearly labeled for the public to see, calling him a hypocrite for coming out against ‘green energy’ initiatives when he used a small solar panel bank for personal sustainability. According to one writer, Wallace’s construction company has undertaken numerous state jobs, “raising questions about whether Wallace’s legislative position has intersected with his business interests”. But then, Wallace is no stranger to public money, having accumulated about $68,000 in disaster and commodities subsidies over the last 10 years.

Donors to Wallace’s campaign – during which he spent over $440K just in the pre-run off period – read like a “who’s who” of lobbyist, special interests and PACS. In fact, frequent ROPE contributor Karmin Grider found that – over his entire career in the House – Wallace had collected less than 1% of his campaign funds from people in his district.

One of Wallace’s campaign issues centered on a bill to stop foreign ownership of private land in Oklahoma. Shaw researched and found the touted bill did nothing to stop foreign ownership of private land. When he challenged Wallace on the issue, Governor Kevin Stitt produced an off-the-cuff video supporting Wallace, the bill and Wallace’s role in passage of the bill while calling Shaw supporters “political animals”. (But Wallace did vote for a bill to protect people who put biosludge on their farms from possible EPA fines over ‘forever’ chemicals.)

During the run-off election, House Speaker Charles McCall, Governor Kevin Stitt, Marathon PAC Chairman Thomas Tillison (a PAC which contributed $5k to Wallace in the run-off and whose family contributed $7,600 during the primary), Senator Grant Green and Speaker-elect Kyle Hilbert all came to the district to stump for Wallace. (Photos taken from public posts to Kevin Wallace’s Facebook page)

I awoke this morning to a video in Facebook Messenger and a headline from the Oklahoman.

The article in the Oklahoman labeled those of us who supported (and still support heartily) candidate-now-Representative, Jim Shaw, “far right-wing”.

The video (below) was from a man I’ve become friends with while supporting Jim Shaw for election. He lives on his family’s long-held farm in the district, is wildly intelligent and salt-of-the-earth as they come. This is a timeline he created from pictures he’d taken from start to finish of the campaign featuring all the neighbors, friends and now-friends who came together wanting a leadership change in the district.

THESE are the “political animals” – the “far right-wing” people who overturned a powerful member of the Oklahoma legislature when they believed he didn’t have their best interests in mind.

Call us what you will, but we’re God-fearing, loyal, patriotic, self-sufficient and loving. We’re proudly American. We’re your neighbors. We’re everything all Americans USED to be.

So as the propagandists seek to minimize us, demonize us and destroy us, they should just understand one thing with every fiber of their being;

WE’RE THE FOUNDATIONS OF RURAL AMERICA AND WE’RE NEVER GONNA TO CHANGE.

Statewide Charter School Board President Talks St. Isadore And Raising The Bar On Education In Oklahoma

Wednesday, August 28th, Michael and I talked to Brian Shellem (who’s name I KEEP mispelling and changing the second “e” to a “u” – sorry Brian!), who was recently named the Chair of the recently-created Statewide Charter School Board. Once a separate Virtual School Board and a Charter School Board, the NEW board has combined BOTH virtual and brick and mortar charter schools into the one Board.

This was a significant change ordered by the legislature in order to create more taxpayer transparency of the publicly-funded charter school model thanks to the horror show that became EPIC Charter Schools. (I’m not going into all of that here. If you’re unfamiliar with the EPIC mess, just search the interwebs for “Epic” and you’ll get the whole story in a relatively short time!)

Oklahoma charter schools are publicly-funded schools to which any student can apply – many have a lottery system for entry – that function by a “charter”, making them different than a ‘regular’ public school. They are created by private entities, not the state, but are approved and funded with state tax dollars. The job of Brian Shellem – and the rest of the Statewide Charter School Board – is to approve (or disapprove) applications submitted to the Board for charter school renewals and new charter schools attempting to operate in the state.

In the clip below, Brian talks about the fact that, now that the new Board is functioning, they will also have a NEW job – sponsoring a charter school. As Brian explains, it used to be the public school in the immediate area of the proposed charter that could sponsor a charter, but – as you can imagine – the charter schools that were getting sponsorships, were having to get them from public schools of higher education, not k-12 schools, most of which have never been supportive of competition for dollars from charter schools.

This change could allow for many more charter school applications to be made – to a Board full of appointed people. This initially alarmed me because, as you know, I detest the lack of accountability usually had by appointed Boards and Commissions. Hearing Brian talk about the way he intended to have the Board do business and the transparency he was going to expect from the Board made me much less suspicious and more inclined to see the positivity in this change.

Charter schools have private boards though they receive public money, yet if the Board seated to oversee them is doing their job and is transparent about the way in which the schools are functioning, having the same Board sponsor the charter schools over which they are tasked with approving could actually create greater transparency. In the end, it’s still a Board with appointed – not elected – individuals whose job should be overseen and checked by the public to ensure they are correctly performing their duties.

In the short clip above, Brian talks about the fact that public school leadership has fallen down on the job. Brian wants to raise the bar and make sure charter schools are performing to the best of their ability.

Although the full live video went on for 2 hours (!), we had more people watching the whole two hours than we’ve had watch some of our shorter videos all the way through. People are truly concerned about the issue of education in Oklahoma and wanted to hear our discussion. You can find the full video on Rumble and YouTube. I suggest you watch the entire thing when you can.

I don’t agree with Brian on everything – like authorizing religious schools to be funded by taxpayers and offering ‘school choice’ to homeschoolers – but I agree with a whole lot of what he said and the discussion surrounding our disagreements were instructive.

Again, as I’ve said hundreds of times, ARGUMENT IS NOT A BAD THING! It is if you’re going to scream and yell and throw things, but you shouldn’t. We should all be able to talk to one another about our differences calmly and respectfully, because we might just learn something from each other. I think we all did that here.

Ageism Dominates Comments On OKC FOX Reporter Payton May’s Post From August State School Board Meeting

I swear, I shouldn’t be surprised by absolutely ANYTHING today, but this one got me.

This was a Tweet from reporter Payton May during Thursday’s (8.22.24) state school board meeting.

🧵Good morning from OSDE, where we have a little God Bless America vs. “Ryan Walters has to go” chant.
State lawmakers are showing up as well, so follow along! pic.twitter.com/3wyY7HlHEf
— Payton May (@paytonmaytv) August 22, 2024

I can’t see the comments on the post anymore. I’ve apparently been blocked for repeatedly commenting, but if you go through them, you’ll see a pattern – older people need to sit down and shut up about what’s going on in schools.

Here are the specific comments to which I actively replied:

My predictive text decided to use “funded” for “fined” and I hit sent before I saw that…

This guy actually responded that, yes, he was an ageist, but he hadn’t said anything about drag queens or kindergartners. SMH, RME…

I believe I’ve made my point (and not always nicely, but my dander was up) but I have to say – not that Twitter is an indicative replica of all Americans – we’re in trouble.

The people who commented about the age of the people there for Walters were ugly about it. I mean, why even say something like that? They obviously have absolutely no idea how property taxes work (you don’t own your property because the state forces you to pay taxes on your property that fund local public schools, libraries and technical schools and if you don’t pay them, the state comes in and takes your property from you to pay the bill for those things) and that people on fixed incomes (many collect only Social Security having been propagandized to believe that would take care of them in their old age) are more susceptible to having their property confiscated for lack of funds to pay their property taxes.

More than likely, these people live in apartments and take money from the government for different things on a regular basis, so they could care less what happens to people who don’t pay their property taxes, but I think there’s a bigger issue here.

Democrats/leftists, want abortion on demand – they always have. I can’t make a case for it because it’s never made any sense to me why anyone would want to kill a pre-born infant – not even when I was a young moron who thought she was an atheist. You either don’t have sex, or you use birth control if you’re gonna have sex – you don’t kill babies because YOU were too much of an idiot to protect yourself from getting pregnant.

Soon, it will be old people.

I could wax on about why and how and all of that, but it’s been reported for many years – especially since COVID and so many old people were simply put on ventilators and left to die. The important part of even putting this into a blog for public consumption is to understand that AGEISM – like so many other horribly destructive social trends – is here in Oklahoma.

We must push back against the Democrat death cult. We do it with abortion, but we’ve ignored the looming specter of ageism.

When you hear or see this kind of conversation on social media, or anywhere else, remind people how school funding and property ownership works. Remind them that old people have more skin in the game than the young. Remind them that older folks should be cared for and how much we still have to learn from those who are older.

Don’t let the young demonize the old, because if we do, we’ll end up with the same problem we have with the pre-born now – we’ll be having to figure out how to stop euthanasia programs like those invented by the Nazis to get rid of the medically infirm. It’s happened before, it’s happening in other countries now, it can happen here too.

Norman City Council Vote, Tuesday, 8.27 Could Prevent Council From Representing Citizens In OTA South Extension Construction

Friday, August 24th, Michael and I had Kelly Wilson and Whitney Mullica, our friends from PikeOffOTA (aka Oklahomans For Responsible Transportation) on ROPE Report LIVE to talk about a very important Norman City Council meeting.

If you’ll remember, the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority has made plans to create a south extension of turnpike to ostensibly halt I-35 congestion and provide another route over the Canadian River. These plans are in conjunction with the OTA’s “Access” program, which is billed as “all about motorist safety”. But then it would be really hard to say something like, “the OTA’s Access program is all about allowing developers and construction companies to make money by accessing private property though the practice of eminent domain in order to keep the ‘I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine’ way of doing business intact in Oklahoma”, which is what it’s always looked like to me – and which there’s some evidence to suggest is at least partially correct.

Friday, Kelly and Whitney showed us all why it’s SUPER IMPORTANT for people to attend the Norman City Council meeting on Tuesday, August 27th (that’s also RUN OFF election day!), where they will be deciding whether or not to sign an agreement with OTA for several considerations explained in the video.

Interestingly, Kelly makes the case that when Oklahoma County signed a similar document with OTA over the Kickapoo Spur, Oklahoma County didn’t come out on the winning end of that deal.

Below is the interview with Kelly and Whitney in its entirety. It’s about an hour, but Kelly’s explanation is SUPER EASY to understand and the time will go by quickly. Please watch and then pass it on to ANYONE you know in the Norman area.

If you’d like to share just the video, you can find it on our YouTube channel HERE.

The City Council needs to VOTE NO on any agreement with the OTA in order to best allow members to do their job of representing the needs of the people of Norman. This video explains exactly the reason why.

Seeking His 5th Term, House Appropriations & Budget Chair, Kevin Wallace, Doxes Opponent Whose Supporters Gov. Stitt Calls “Political Animals” And Spends $440 Thousand Dollars To Win Re-Election

Oklahoma Representative, Kevin Wallace is doing EVERYTHING he can to win re-election to a seat that makes $47,500/year with a generous $168/day per diem. Why? Does it have anything to do with the fact that he controls the purse strings for multi-MILLIONS of dollars of taxpayer funds as the House Appropriations and Budget Chair? Who would want access to those millions of dollars forced from hard working citizens each year? Special interests? Businesses?

Wallace drew two challengers for the November 2024 general election – Jim Shaw and Jason Shilling. Both men ran on similar platforms; concern about biosludge application to farmland (Wallace has admitted publicly to dumping humanure/biosludge on his farm twice) and the takeover of private land by solar and wind technology firms, among other issues.

In what could only be called a ‘dark horse’ race, Jim Shaw, beat Wallace by 212 votes in the primary, forcing a run-off election scheduled for Tuesday, August 27th.

[NOTE; only 5117 voters participated in the primary. That’s ONE FIFTH of the REGISTERED voters in HD32 according to Oklahoma County Election Board statistics for January 2024. Get a load of the census data and you’ll see that the percentage of REGISTERED voters is a fraction of the TOTAL of the over 18 citizens in the district. It’s gross. We’re a representative REPUBLIC, but not if YOU DON’T VOTE! If doing anything else is more important than becoming educated about your representatives in government and then voting, MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY! You’re the reason we’re losing this one!]

Jim Shaw moved to Chandler from Arcadia with his wife and two small girls several years ago. He’s never been involved in politics before, and didn’t even have running for an office on his radar, until he became concerned about the assaults being made on the land occupied by Oklahoma’s small farmers and ranchers – solar, wind, biosludge, Chinese land ownership (which has skyrocketed since medical marijuana was legalized) and a swath of land to be usurped for a giant electricity transmission corridor, just to name a few.

Though Wallace has been in office since 2014, the Primary clearly unsettled the incumbent.

Since that time, Kevin Wallace been on a PAC/lobbyist/attorney/business spending spree that has resulted in a reported $380,714.02 spent just for his political consultant, Campaign Advocacy Management Professionals (CAMP) alone. In fact, he has raised a total of $368,738.95 and spent $438,572.96 just since the Primary! What’s interesting, is that there are so few INDIVIDUAL DISTRICT CITIZENS donating to his campaign, I could barely spot them on his report – can you? But that’s not new, don’t forget – we showed in our May 19th video – that less than 1% of all Wallace’s donations came from citizens in his district!

[NOTE; Apparently Wallace LOVES getting taxpayer dollars as much as he LOVES spending taxpayer dollars. He’s taken $67,603 from the federal government in disaster and commodities subsidies since 2015!]

Truly, since the Primary, the HD32 race has been disgusting on the part of Wallace – and his supporter Governor Kevin Stitt! In the video below, Shaw explains that a video recorded by the Governor in support of Wallace – in which the Governor calls Shaw supporters “Political Animals” and then basically calls Shaw a liar by saying that Wallace helped him author a bill to stop Chinese land ownership – is wrong. Shaw shows in the video below that – NO! – the bill that BOTH the Governor and Wallace are talking about HAS NO TEETH. It’s completely unenforceable, rendering it null and void essentially.

But this is nothing new. This is the Kabuki Theater that IS Oklahoma government. If you watch the FULL live video (Rumble, YouTube) you’ll see me go into a rant about how the Common Core legislation was the same – yes, it was repealed from law, but no one could ACT on it to keep it out of schools.

Hopefully, you read a recent article on this blog about Governor Stitt’s TOOTHLESS immigration bill. The Kabuki theater goes like this; you put a title on a bill that the leftist news media will pick up on – never reading the bill – and it goes viral because the lefties are all screaming against it. This automagically makes all those on the right start shouting about how great the bill is to counter their narrative and voila! A bill passes that would be fine except that it will be meaningless once the Task Force the Governor will implement comes back with a way to get the illegals here illegally to stay legally. It’s all nonsense and yet SO MANY people buy it because they won’t research what is actually going on instead of listening to all the media hype.

And then, of course, there’s the post made by Wallace to one of his three Facebook pages (the one from which I’ve been blocked, apparently!), where he has someone from his campaign go onto Jim Shaw’s property to take photos and then puts his address on a PUBLIC POST in an effort to show that Shaw has solar panels on his property, thereby making him a “liar” and a “fraud”.

I’d have been embarrassed to post something like this, but when he was confronted with the FACT that he doxed his opponent, he would simply respond, “It’s called Google”. This person should represent others in his district? I’d also have been embarrassed to conflate a solar panel array on personal property for personal use, with a 10 thousand acre solar installation, but hey, maybe Wallace is just so interested in winning that he’s vacated all rational thought.

Wallace – and his ilk; career politicians who serve special interests above their constituents – are exactly the people we need to remove from public office. Jim Shaw is exactly the person our Founders talked about when they spoke of the importance of Citizen Legislators.

How The Grift Of Economic Development Hurts YOU – And Sucks Up Farmland

After the video we posted with Julianne Romanello about the Grift of Economic Development (YouTube, Rumble), a comment was posted to the Facebook livestream by a neighbor who lives nearby. It was such an eye-opener, I felt I had to reproduce it on the blog in its entirety. Thank you Lisa O’Brien for the comment below:

This is absolutely true. My eyes were first opened to this by watching the movie, “Walmart: the High Cost of Low Price”. We had no Walmarts in the Bay Area at that time, so I always wondered what this magical place was like. (Hey, we had Trader Joe’s and IKEA. We were doin’ fine.) I learned so much from that documentary, mostly how one large corporation can destroy a small town in under a month.

It became a struggle for me to support capitalism for quite some time.

In my own small town in the Bay Area, I saw this as well. I lived in an actual “diverse” area filled with “ethnic” restaurants run by immigrants straight off the boats of the countries they fled. I watched those wonderful businesses fold one by one, crushed by the weight of California’s tax- and litigation-happy governance. Some survived for a surprisingly long period of time, but none survived forever. Unlike Walmart.

Fast-forward to our life here in OK: when we moved to an unincorporated area near the Guthrie/Edmond border (but not Guthrie. Or Edmond. Or Arcadia), there were cows grazing off the exit from I-35. You could drive the miles it took to get to our house without ever seeing another car. Ever. I know this, because I made a grand gesture of 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 every single time we’d exit off the freeway. Never another car. Ever. What a delightful and refreshing change from the traffic of California! Just look at them COWS, everyone! Woot!

Today, nine short years later–and truthfully, it was happening 5 years ago–we are often backed-up while exiting that same exit off I-35. The new Diamond cloverleaf roundabout fancy exchange we were promised (to be finished in 2020!) to help alleviate traffic has, shockingly, not happened. Not even a little bit.

But you know what DID happen? Sit down–this will be so surprising! We got a new school. There are 𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 new “planned communities” with names like “Babbling Brook Havens” and “Lonely White Pine Estates” and “Mountain Meadows Fancy-House Place” or whatever where fields and cows used to exist. Yet another Dollar General went up, even though there didn’t appear to be a need for it. An OnCue was built where once stood an old, abandoned house; the perfect backdrop for an amazing photo shoot. There are new fast-food restaurants, many of them, with plans to build 𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘴 in the same space as the fast food places, ostensibly to ensure no one has to walk far to become as unhealthy as ever.

They cut down an entire wooded area on the NW side of the freeway, and that blighted eyesore has sat there for several years now, not providing shelter for critters or oxygen for anyone.

And still–no Diamond Cloverleaf to lessen the burden of traffic. My husband has to leave 15 minutes earlier than he did in 2015 to arrive at the same time.

I’m seeing the exact results of what this video discusses right before my eyes, at this very moment in time. While I’m grateful we have our little spot in an area that backs up to someone else’s acreage–thus decreasing the chance we may be staring down the barrel of yet another Taco Bell anytime soon–I am no longer as complacent or naïve as I was 9 years ago. And that makes me so sad.

The Grift Of Economic Development And The New World Order

We humans are an essentially stupid lot.

We all carry models in our head that direct the way we perceive and process information. This is nothing new or odd. It’s called Confirmation Bias and it leads to thinking like, “Hey, I’m a ‘nice’ person, therefore other people are ‘nice’ people too”, “my lawmaker is my neighbor, he waves to me on Sunday as he goes to church, he has to be conservative like me”.

People functioning inside their confirmation bias look outside their window, see the thin veneer of public behavior we call society, see it functioning mostly as they expect and worry not about tomorrow. Consequently, when information comes to their attention that describes things beyond their confirmation bias, like the ‘The Great Reset‘, they think it’s nuts – misinformation, slippery slope, utter nonsense. That simply would never happen – and yet Confirmation Bias is one of the reasons so many Jews were murdered before Hitler was stopped – good people believing that mass genocide simply COULDN’T happen.

A thinking person has only to review the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN (Agenda 2030 pushed by Klaus Schwab and his friends) to realize that the whole thing is a pipe dream. No group – not even the UN (snark) – is going to end world hunger, or poverty – or any other of the ‘goals’ suggested by this document – they’re all completely impossible in a human, fallen world. Unless, a group of people who want to believe in these goals so badly, contrive ways to force human beings – through treaties, laws, rules and the like – to exhibit behaviors they deem necessary to bring about their goals.

For example; human beings as a rule are not terribly altruistic – they’ll put money in the plate at church, but many wouldn’t think about working at a food pantry or a homeless shelter. This is why socialism – altruism through the use of the currency of others – must be forced. The thought is, “Well, you won’t pay for your poor neighbor’s healthcare bill on your own, so there is a moral imperative for me to force you to do so” whether that’s a government or a world leader.

Let’s look at another example; #7 on the UN’s 2030 list is ‘affordable clean energy’. Solar panels cost an arm and a leg, they’re mostly manufactured in China with parts that come from all over the world that are cost ineffective to recycle, forcing most of them into the – wait for it – very green, nonpolluting landfill (snark). Consequently, the GOVERNMENT, which has the power to fine you, put you in jail or otherwise coerce you – not private businesses which do not have that power – take taxpayer dollars and subsidizes the use of solar technology while creating rules and laws that force the use of this technology at the detriment of the economy and the liberty of humans to make choices for themselves.

Hopefully, you see my point. I think many of us had our eyes opened to this fact during the plandemic.

So, let’s put aside our confirmation bias on the topic of economic development (much of which the Chamber of Commerce has propagandized into us for decades) and listen to a clip from the really great podcast Michael and I did with Julianne Romanello last Wednesday (when is a podcast with Julianne not great, though, really) 8.14.24. The whole podcast was devoted to a discussion about Economic Development activities – especially in small towns – and how the quest to bring more jobs/people to the town can have a rather opposite effect than desired.

Like so many other things, people are conditioned to believe that the idea of Economic Development is a good thing. Of course people want to be able to make a liveable wage – and beyond – in the place where they live. They also want their children to grow up and find work near the family. People also want places to shop and eat and parks to enjoy and all the things that make life – especially in a small town – awesome. These are VERY sensible desires!

But there’s a dark underbelly to economic development models we need to know about.

In the clip below, Julianne talks about the cynical-yet-truthful way in which economic development actually works and how it can play right into the Global Agenda.

In the clip below, Julianne talks about how small towns LOSE their local shared values and so many of the things that made them great when economic development becomes more about supporting outsiders than those who live in the town. In this model, the town gets nudged into a sustainable model, which, of course, drives the town – and everyone in it – down the Global Agenda road.

At the end of the podcast, Michael shared a story about his hometown of Guymon, Oklahoma. It’s truly a sad warning to other towns who desire ‘economic development’ for the creation of “more jobs”.

Please listen to the entire podcast either on our Rumble or YouTube channels. The discussion was very enlightening and one you might want to share with your City Council person or elected official. We truly do have to stop thinking that progress is always the best course. Sometimes just staying where we are is better for us and our development all the way around because progress can march us closer and closer to a new world order.

Pay attention to what the City Council and Economic Development Associations are doing in your town – as well as the local Chamber of Commerce. Be prepared to push back if you see warning signs that someone or something is set to benefit from the development of the economy more than town’s residents. The best defense is ALWAYS a good offense and that starts with knowledge – the kind you can only get from attending your City Council and EDA meetings!

It’s up to all of us to save the AMERICAN way of life for our children and grandchildren.

Author Joy Pullmann Joins Michael and Jenni To Discuss Her New Book

Wednesday, August 7th, 2024, Executive Editor of The Federalist, Joy Pullman, joined Jenni and Michael to discuss her new book, False Flag; Why Queer Politics Mean The End Of America.

You can find the full live video on our YouTube and Rumble channels.

Truly, this book needs to be purchased by as many people as possible and distributed to people in your circles who think gender politics are ‘not that big a deal’ – particularly to your pastor and those in your church who have no idea that the Pride movement is absolutely a ‘regime change’ meant to DESTROY FAMILIES AND CHRISTIANITY.

Why? As Joy writes in the Introduction to her book:

Stable families are a core societal precondition for limited government and self-rule. By destroying families, the identity politics state uses welfare to undermine the natural family’s private provision of human needs. When half of America’s citizens grow up in sexually chaotic homes, and all of us marinate in a sexually chaotic culture, only a minority of citizens will have the capacity for self-government. Thus a widespread lack of sexual virtue is an existential threat to both economic and social freedoms.

The book is a fast 300+ pages of 8 chapters. It is HEAVILY cited. Joy mentions why in her interview. She says she put a lot of time into documenting her statements because some of the subject matter can be so unbelievable, she wanted to make sure readers knew how to source her material in order to better earn their trust and understanding.

Chapter 8 is called, “Strategies For Counterrevolutionaries”. In this chapter, Pullmann gives example after example of what can be done to reverse the rainbow tide threatening to swallow not only Christians, but anyone who doesn’t want to bend the knee and kiss the ring of Marxist gender politics.

In the clip below, Pullmann encourages Americans who want to force the “love wins” brigade to keep to themselves and away from children and families.

At the end of our interview, I asked Joy to tell us about a book she wrote several years ago, “Classic Books For Young Children“, upon which she has expanded since its original publishing. Why, I asked her, is it so important for children to read classic literature and not the books written in the last several decades. Her answer is in-depth and specific. Please give it a listen and pass it on to those in your life who might need a little nudge to help find better literature influences for their kids – and/or grandkids.

As usual, please take the time to share these short videos with family and friends and visit our Rumble and YouTube channels for more videos on everything from education to the Green Agenda!
