Former legislator and author/coordinator of the definitive work of research on the bombing, Charles Key, was with Michael and I again for part 2 of our discussion on his exhaustive research on the Oklahoma City bombing. You can find Part 1 on our YouTube and Rumble channels. You can also find the LIVE recordings of this week’s podcast here and here on our YouTube and Rumble channels.
Charles has a website that I urge you to check out at CharlesKey.com. Here, you can find the full report on the research of the Oklahoma City bombing that he directed, as well as his new book called Stolen Government about how the rules of the Oklahoma House and Senate keep legislation tied up in committees and away from the full and transparent process legislation SHOULD undergo if Oklahoma citizens were truly living the principals of the Republic our Constitution directs. I urge you to read that – especially before the next session of our legislature opens in February 2026.
I would also urge you to watch both parts of the interview with Charles on the bombing. If for no other reason that what he describes below in a clip I took from the live interview – we can’t trust our government. If we want to be FREE Citizens of this state and this country, we MUST do our own due diligence about what we’re told by any form, or branch of the government about anything.
For some reason, citizens have come to recognize GOVERNMENT as an authority over us instead of remembering and owning the fact that the GOVERNMENT IS US! Government in America is of the people, by the people, for the PEOPLE – not bureaucrats or elected officials.
I pulled the next clip because I think it is important for people to realize that Timothy McVeigh had told attorneys and others shortly after his capture, that he was working for the government – implying, if not outright stating – that he was a government informant. If McVeigh was indeed a government informant, the government murdered an innocent man in order for them to keep the narrative alive that it was a terrorist bombing, not the product of a sting operation gone bad. This is HUGE and probably the greatest indicator of why we shouldn’t trust the government narrative on this – or anything else for that matter – without some due diligence and research.
In the end, whether it’s the Oklahoma City Bombing, or anything else for which the government feeds us a narrative, American/Oklahoma citizens, should not believe everything we hear. We must believe that government is an extension of ourselves. We must believe that government is made up of US, not people we elect or who are appointed by other elected officials. This change in attitude is the only thing that will save our Republic for our children and their children. Learning about the alternative explanation for the Oklahoma City Bombing is one way to start changing your perspective.
PS: Here are two other resources for you to consider in your journey toward truth. This is an interview Tucker Carlson JUST did with Margaret Roberts – a researcher Charles Key mentions in the podcast. You can find that here.

Friday, April 11th, our friend and stellar researcher, Mary, with V1SUT Vantage came on to talk about tick-borne illnesses in Oklahoma. I was really looking forward to this because, back in the early 90’s I worked for the Oklahoma State Health Department as an Epidemiologist for a couple years.
During my time there, I wrote a paper, “Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases in Oklahoma”, which won the Charlotte S. Leebron Award from the Oklahoma State Medical Association. This is an actually hysterically funny thing to discover, when you get to one part in the video and you hear me misremember the type of organism causing tick diseases as a protozoan and not a bacteria! I’m going to plead “the hard drive is full”, but good grief THAT was embarrassing! LOL
To see the full video, find it on our Rumble and YouTube channels. You won’t want to miss the full podcast. It was SO informative – in a scary, horrifying way!
Also very interesting is the FACT that during the time I was working toward my Bachelor’s and Masters in Biology – nor during the time I was employed as an Epidemiologist at the OSDH – was I ever taught, nor did I read, or have information shared with me at all, that matched what Mary said during the podcast about the etiology of tick diseases. How believable and unbelievable all at the same time! It’s really SHOCKING, frankly, what we’re finding has been hidden from us by this government that steals our money to keep itself running!
Basically – and to recap the episode – Mary told us that tick-borne diseases are really bioweapons created on Plum Island, New York, by many of the Nazi scientists the US government gave safe harbor. Just think. To many, this sounds completely nuts, but remember, so many people STILL won’t believe that COVID-19 was a manufactured bioweapon even though it’s now pretty conclusively KNOWN to have originated in the Wuhan laboratory in China!
It’s also an odd thing to think that, of all the experimentation we know, AND SUSPECT, the US has done with bioweaponry, Americans wouldn’t think any of it would either get loose, or be specifically used on us. Yet so many refuse to believe.
In this clip, Mary talks about the history of tick-borne diseases. It’s a short video, but fascinating!
In the next clip, Mary describes the spread of Alpha-Gal, the syndrome produced in the Lone Star tick, by Lyme disease. Unfortunately, this syndrome is EXPLODING here in the US, with one of the main symptoms being that people who are bitten can become ‘allergic’ to eating meat, sometimes becoming either violently ill with gastric symptoms or even histamine reactions that can cause anaphylaxis! In fact, I have a friend, whose mother is required to carry an Epi-pen everywhere in the event she accidentally eats something that might have touched or otherwise contain a meat product.
In this video, she talks about a scientist, S Matthew Liao, who actually gives a Ted Talk indicating that science could save the planet from climate change if we could make humans allergic to meat, and wow, isn’t it amazing that the Lone Star tick is the vector for a bacteria that seems to cause that in some people bitten. Good grief! It’s unbelievable where we have come in the world today. I’m actually happy my grandparents were dead. All of them would have had a fit to learn about THIS information.
If you’d like to read more, find Mary’s article on her Substack, here. And don’t forget to SHARE!
Friday, Michael and I had Carolyn McLarty on during the first hour of the podcast to talk about citizen lobbying. It was a great show! I really urge you to check out the whole thing on YouTube or Rumble.
After Carolyn had gone, Michael and I talked about numerous issues, but one of those was about the data being collected on students. In the video below, Michael and I talked about how many apps and computer programs students now use at school and how those are often collecting data from their interaction with the program/application.
This article is from our original blogspot and was written in 2014 when we were trying to stop the State Longitudinal Database. I suggest you at least open it and scan it because it gives some pretty good examples as to how classroom data mining is happening through programs and applications used in the classroom.
Here are Michael and I talking about that very thing on Friday’s show.
This morning, I found a message in my Facebook messenger from an old “common core” friend. She sent me a website – the Kids Count Data Center. I remembered having seen that years ago, but I hadn’t looked into it recently. I scrolled through Oklahoma’s collected data categories and was – once again – completely freaked out by what I found.
The data is apparently provided by the Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF) – a non-profit organization started by the man who created UPS. The AECF credits itself with helping to start the foster care system while moving toward the abolishment of orphanages.
I ran AECF through Data Republican and was not able to find that they take tax dollars of any kind, nor are they granted monies from organizations that take tax dollars. I was able to find some of the organizations they fund, however, and two things are clear; they donate to large organizations that do collect lots of taxpayer dollars and they donate lots of money to leftist, ‘social change’ organizations. This makes me wonder at the reasons for which they are collecting so much data on kids.
This is interesting and concerning. Statistics can be made to say whatever the person using the statistic wants them to say. What do leftists want with all this data?
The AECF makes no bones about the fact that they are collecting all their data to influence policy decisions made by legislators.
Here’s a PERFECT example. “The First Eight Years” is a report created by the AECF populated with data collected through the Foundation. Why? To give policymakers reason to FUND early childhood education with tax dollars – tax-funded DAY CARE essentially – on the notion that it’s the “best way to ensure a successful workforce in the future”.
Apparently their strategy has worked in Oklahoma since 2006, when the Oklahoma legislature created OECP – the Oklahoma Early Childhood Program (OECP) – headquartered in…wait for it…TULSA. The OECP is tasked to “improve the quality of early education and expand capacity to serve children from birth through age three statewide.” (bold for emphasis)
Because I was offended by the fact that the AECF would/could collect information on kids NOT IN SCHOOL, I clicked on the data point called, “Young Children Not In School”. This data came from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey. So, families actually taking this survey, coughed up to the federal government that their kids weren’t in school and that information was entered into the US Census Bureau database – which is shared with the public and across government databases.
This is the reason the AECF gives for collecting this data on babies.
High-quality prekindergarten programs for 3- and 4-year-olds can improve school readiness, with the greatest gains accruing to the highest-risk children. Head Start and the expansion of state-funded programs since the 1990s have greatly increased access to preschool. But many children, especially 3-year-olds, continue to be left out, exacerbating socioeconomic differences in educational achievement.
What is ‘school readiness’? What is high-risk? Whatever the AECF, CAP, OECP says it is – usually based on a definition created by some group in the ‘get money from tax payers to take babies away from their parents’ scam.
At this point, I’d like to point out information from the OECP’s 2024 Annual Report.
Please note, this is supposed to be a state agency, yet George Kaiser funds the majority, while the state of Oklahoma comes in a paltry second. Also note, wages and benefits are the majority of the spending here because all the staff are involved in thinking about things related to how to grade childcare centers and the children inside. Here are two things the staff did last year.
They determined how attached to the caregiver BABIES and TODDLERS were. Shouldn’t we care more about the fact that these babies are in a place where they are NOT becoming attached to their parents?
And then there’s this:
Yes, Oklahoma is measuring the literacy of babies and toddlers and the state of Oklahoma is using tax dollars to do this, while partnering with an Obama donation bundler.
And let’s think on this just a minute. According to the OECP annual report, 3,666 children were ‘served’ by this program. Do the math. That’s an expense of almost ELEVEN THOUSAND dollars a child – for DAY CARE that the state and its private partners have dubbed EARLY EDUCATION.
In closing (for now), I’m going to add the diagrams I created while studying the State Longitudinal Database back in the 20-teens. THIS is why all this data collection is a problem. Once the data is collected, it goes everywhere and everywhere it goes, it populates databases that follow kids throughout their public school and work careers. Hopefully, it’s obvious why this is bad. Hopefully, it’s obvious why we need our lawmakers to protect our kids from this kind of intrusive nonsense that does nothing but build reasons for taking more and more tax dollars from citizens to fund more and more ways to take their tax dollars – and babies.
Below are the bills which would affect homeschooling families in one way or another. The RED are not supported by home educators and the GREEN are supported by those who educate their children at home without government assistance. This list was compiled by homeschool educator Robert Scott.
In order to help you read this list better, you can click in the document and it will take you to our SCRIBD site. You may also print out this PDF. Below is a list of just the bills.
Also, HJR1010 by Jim Shaw which would provide constitutional protection for homeschools and private schools. A Joint Resolution directing the Secretary of State to refer to the people for their approval or rejection a proposed amendment to Section 4 of Article XIII of the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma; stating certain parental and legal guardian rights; limiting certain school regulations; providing ballot title; and directing filing.
We have a small farm and have had to give countless predators a ‘dirt nap’ because they were killing our livestock. When we do it, we don’t post about it on social media – partly because people are insane and I don’t want to get reported by the PETA peeps – but also because I DON’T LIKE KILLING THINGS. I mean, we raise sheep – for meat and sale – and I hate it when we have to take them to the butcher. It usually makes me feel gross all day. I just don’t like killing things as a rule – even if I’m going to eat them afterward, or if I’m saving my livestock.
I actually like this about me – after nearly a decade of processing chickens and turkeys and taking sheep to the butcher – I still believe every life is important. I’ve not gotten ‘numb’ to death. It still stings. I still remember that even the racoon that ate the heads off 3 of my chickens was made by God just like me.
So there’s that, although that wasn’t the actual reason behind the post.
Immediately, the post blew up with comments about how I was a Karen, or a crybaby, or about how it was well within the Governor’s right to shoot a bobcat on his property whether it was eating his animals or not.
Here are a few selected responses so you can fully digest their flavor.
Look, I’m big girl. I’ve been in this game a long time. I believe in free speech. Everyone who wanted to comment about what an idiot I am got to say their piece without me censoring them in any way. And maybe I did get a bit strident in my response – I certainly don’t think everything I say, or post, or write is the best thing ever all the time. After a 20 year writing career, I’ve CERTAINLY had my duds.
It’s no secret that I’m no fan of Governor Stitt, but trust me when I say I don’t relish this position.
I would LOVE to be able to back the REPUBLICANS I VOTE FOR, but with the glaring exception of former Labor Commissioner Mark Costello whom I 100% respected and thought the world of, I’ve NEVER voted for a Republican who didn’t let me down in some huge way. In fact, that’s why I started ROPE in 2008 in the first place – to try and keep our elected officials on course by pointing out their departures from Republican ideals. I’m used to getting the cold shoulder from legislators and Party officials, or reamed a new one by all measure of commenters on social media – I’m neither a Karen nor a snowflake or I would have quit for good LONG AGO.
My choice to call out the Governor in this post wasn’t about the bobcat – it was about the DISTRACTION the post was meant to be.
After a few hours of watching the commenters pile on, I added the following update to the post:
– Thank you so much for all your comments on the post. For those asking what this has to do with Parental Empowerment – we’ve been posting ALL kinds of information here and on our podcast for nearly two years. Maybe a follow would bring some clarity on that issue.
Disagreement can be instructive and we’re all about free speech here – but our Governor’s post is a distraction from all the problems we have in this state that aren’t being dealt with by his office – and that’s the point of the post. There are plenty of us who have disposed of LIVESTOCK-EATING predators without posting them on social media. Our Governor’s media people know that posts about hunting or sports are nearly universally loved – and defended – by Oklahomans and, hence, a great distraction. It’s important to point out these distractions and attempt to put the focus back on the issues at stake. And that’s what we’ll do here every single time we can. So, agree or disagree, that’s the bottom line.
Our governor has absolutely sat out the fight to have DHS investigated, though he could have called for an investigation himself. Same with the Turnpike Authority which is costing Oklahomans millions and millions of dollars while they continue to ratchet up their tolls.
I could go on with examples of how obvious government malfeasance is simply overlooked by our Governor and his office, but I’ll stop there and end on this; we have the right and the responsibility as ‘the people’ of this state – not to mention taxpayers – to expect our elected officials to do the right thing and to call them out publicly when they don’t. You may not like the way someone does it (ie me), but if we’re going to allow ourselves to be easily distracted by public statements from our officials about hunting, or sports teams, or attracting business and increasing our workforce, that we don’t see how we’re being manipulated to look the other way, our government will NEVER work for us.
And that was the whole point of the post in the first place.
“In this upcoming session, if we pass two bills, a state budget and a bill reducing the usage of cellphones in public schools, it will be one of the most substantial legislative sessions that I’ve experienced.”
Full stop.
During the fight to repeal Common Core from state law and remove it from Oklahoma classrooms, the talking points invariably used by legislators to stiff-arm our pleas included “we don’t like education mandates” and “we’re a local control state”. No joke. But then, during those years, one history teacher-turned legislator told me that Oklahomans send legislators to the capitol to “write bills”.
What The Bill Says
Here is the cell phone bill, created by Senate Education Committee Vice-Chair, Ally Seifried; SB139.
According to the press release sent out by Senate Media, the bill, “empower[s] schools to adopt ‘bell to bell’ cell phone policies”, yet the bill summary says, “An Act relating to schools; requiring school district boards of education to adopt a policy prohibiting use of cell phones while on campus during certain time period”. Requiring and ’empowering’ do not have the same meaning – the first includes force.
In fact, the bill goes on to say that it will require schools to set discipline policies for students who break the school’s required policy on cell phone use (the force part). It also allots up to 2 million taxpayer dollars (“if available”, whatever that means) to be granted to middle and high schools so they can buy something to STORE cell phones during the day.
Problems With The Bill
What is the point of a school board? According to state law, individual local school boards have the right and ability to set policy – including policy over cell phones. This bill actively usurps local school board authority. On one hand, we expect parents to execute control over their minor children, yet so much of what the state does actually removes parental executive control in favor of a government policy, rule or law. How can a parent execute parental control if we keep removing their executive function?
This is NEW LAW. How many laws do Oklahomans need to restrain them – or, in this case, their children? What about schools? Could an argument be made that part of the reason public schools in Oklahoma are failing is that they are constrained by state laws that may not have been needed at the local level?
This law forces schools to create disciplinary actions to be meted out when students break cell phone policy. What happens if a school DOESN’T create a cell phone policy? What happens if they don’t create a discipline policy? How many times has state law required schools to create a policy, but then never forced the school to write the policy when they don’t? Tulsa attorney Maria Seidler has told us numerous times, for example, that public schools don’t adhere to all of Oklahoma’s Parental Rights law, but there isn’t an enforcement mechanism in the law to make them, forcing parents to use their own money to sue schools while schools use taxpayer dollars to fight them. How many times has the state forced schools to follow the policies they DO create – about bathrooms, free speech, bullying, or student safety, for example? This law, then, would be meaningless, just like so many others our legislature creates, because there isn’t a mechanism of enforcement.
Schools can apply for a grant to create a place/places for student cell phones to be kept. Two million dollars will be pulled from taxpayer pockets to supply grant ‘winners’. Is there a reason cell phones can’t be turned off as students come into class, dropped into a basket on the teacher’s desk and collected before they leave the classroom? Two million dollars is needed for that?
WhatOur Constitution Guarantees
The Oklahoma Constitution says the following in Section 2-1: Political power – Purpose of government – Alteration or reformation:
All political power is inherent in the people; and government is instituted for their protection, security, and benefit, and to promote their general welfare; and they have the right to alter or reform the same whenever the public good may require it: Provided, such change be not repugnant to the Constitution of the United States.
How does any of the nonsense written in our Speaker-Elect’s priority bill match with the wording of our state Constitution?
In fact,
It usurps local control of government – which removes the security citizens should have in control of their government and removes any benefit to them by taking the issue out of their hands.
It creates a NEW law, removing power from the people and giving it to government. The more laws government creates, the more individual liberty is constrained and the less benefit or security ‘the people’ receive.
This law is meaningless because it accomplishes nothing. Meaningless laws cause ‘the people’ to suffer. Even if prohibitions were added to the bill that FORCED schools to create policy on this issue, it would do little more than once again remove the power from “the people”/parents to deal with the issue and give it to government.
Taking MORE dollars from taxpayers to buy unnecessary items is burdensome to the liberty of ‘the people’. The economy is hard. Parents need to KEEP THEIR OWN MONEY and decide how to spend it. Interestingly, if parents choose not to pay their taxes so they won’t be used for government frivolity, government will fine them or send them to prison. THAT is how out-of-whack our government is compared to what our Constitution says our government must do or be.
What The Legislature MUST PrioritizeInstead
The legislature MUST:
Prohibit PRIVATE BUSINESSES from receiving public funds to do business in the state; ie – remove ALL tax credits and incentives for private business. This would restore free enterprise and a fair economy, creating a benefit for all citizens and security of an even playing field for those who own their own businesses. As example; we spent at least one million taxpayer dollars on a fledgling electric car maker that has never lived up to its promises.
Prohibit taxation of property and income (which is also property). Our state constitution says in Section 2-2 on Inherent Rights; “All persons have the inherent right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the enjoyment of the gains of their own industry“. The bolded terminology refers to property and income. The taxation of such flies in the face of our Constitution’s requirement for the government to provide us protection, security and benefit. The legislature should write a state question to enable the people to change the Constitution to prevent the use of property taxation and start to phase out income tax ASAP (see Rep. Jay Steagall).
Prohibit eminent domain for turnpikes, solar installations, wind turbines or any desire of PRIVATE INDUSTRY to conduct business in our state. Taking the property of ‘the people’ should only be done in VERY DIRE need that would benefit ‘the people’. A private wind turbine company – Invenergy – shouldn’t be able to take property from Oklahoma citizens to create an electric transmission corridor that would allow them to ship Oklahoma wind energy to out of state customers.
Stop giving money to public schoolsthat do not educate children. We are 49th in education and most children in the state aren’t proficient in either reading or math. Uneducated students remove our security and provide little benefit to the state or it’s citizens and taking tax dollars from citizens to support failure removes their security. Public schools often have multi-million dollar sports stadiums full of high school kids who can’t count back change. Stop allowing taxpayers to be robbed for failure.
What “The People” Must Do
Contact your legislator. Remind them of the guarantees our State Constitution provides Oklahoma citizens. When legislation is promoted that does NOT agree with these guarantees, immediately call and/or email and explain why the bill must be voted down.
Until we Oklahomans understand the function of our state government, we can’t educate our elected officials. At least read the Bill of Rights of our Constitution. Then, educate those around you including your legislators. It’s the only way to put government back in the hands of ‘the people’ and out of those who think only of lobbyists, public school bullies and elevating their power quotient for another job in government when they’re through at the legislature.
Michael and I were happy to have Oklahoma Rep. Jay Steagall join us for our podcast on December 11th to talk about property taxes – and also his bill to repeal the state income tax.
The conversation was nearly two hours so thanks to Rep. Steagall for sticking it out with us! Also, thanks to all the people who tuned in to participate in the discussion – at one point, we had SO MANY COMMENTS I couldn’t get them all on! Certainly, it was gratifying to see so many people interested in the issue of taxation in a ‘red state’! We hope you learned a lot from the discussion!
In the clip below, Jay talks about the fact that property taxes are a concept enshrined in the Oklahoma State Constitution – something that requires a different level of action from authoring and passing legislation.
So, Oklahomans are going to have to lobby their legislators to write a bill that would remove the ability for a state entity to collect property taxes, then, we’ll have to vote on it as a state question on a general election ballot. Frankly, that seems much easier to me than to collect signatures for an initiative petition to put a state question on the ballot. As Jay says, our income and our real property, are ours, so I would think legislators would jump at the chance to make sure the Constitutional Rights of their citizens were protected – right?
Jay talks a bit about his income tax bill below. Obviously, Oklahomans should support Jay’s efforts to remove the shackles from the ‘results of our industry’, so please make sure to follow developments regarding the bill – and we will too.
My husband and I kept my mother’s home after she passed. Above is a photo of the apportionment for that home in Oklahoma City. Please note that the largest percentage of monies paid via the taxes on this home is for Oklahoma City Public Schools.
Part of the reason I’m so rabidly against property taxes – outside of the largest, most unfair issue, which is that I’ll never actually own this home if I have to pay ‘rent’ to the government every year to consider it my personal property – is the fact that OKLAHOMA PUBLIC SCHOOLS COMPRISE 53% of the entire state budget but yet the county ALSO taxes me for the school district in which the home resides. HOW MUCH MONEY DO SCHOOLS NEED?
Then consider this; at least three districts in Oklahoma – Kingfisher, Ninekaw and Wewoka – have been subjected to HUGE financial settlements resulting from situations in which school officials have been found guilty of essentially terrorizing students. Add to this the fact that Oklahoma public education has fallen to 49th in the nation. WHY ARE WE ENCUMBERING PROPERTY FOR THIS? REALLY? It’s horrifying.’
Interestingly, Kingfisher county Excise Board refused to encumber the property of Kingfisher Public School district residents to meet their financial obligation to the family of the boy who sued the head football coach for bullying. Instead, Kingfisher just let go 18 members of staff EXCEPT FOR THE COACH WHO WAS FOUND GUILTY OF BULLYING FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
Good for the Kingfisher County Excise Board! At least they put the oneness back on the school! But then, the school let go 18 positions and then kept the one that caused the other 18 to be let go.
Again…WHAT? Taxpayers are supposed to be able to lose their homes because public schools suck?
Truly, this is an issue of which ROPE won’t let go! Keep following! We’ll keep reporting on this nonsense in the REDDEST state…(insert eye-roll here).
What a decisive victory for Trump, for the United States and for those of us who detest authoritarian government – as in Marxism, Communism or any other -ism. I’m extremely happy. I was at the point of believing that either America had become what the -isms have tried to make it since President Obama, or that Americans had just given up and jumped ahead into the acceptance stage of grief. Fortunately, it’s not over ’till it’s over and it’s apparently not over for now.
However, let me play your mom for just a bit:
1. Let’s go over the MOST IMPORTANT aspect of the election again. Americans DO NOT WANT COMMUNISM, MARXISM, or any other -ISM to replace INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY. THAT IS YUGE. They may not have gone into the voting booth knowing exactly what was causing their pain, but they knew enough to know that it was somehow coming from the Democrats. They may not even have thought of ‘personal liberty’ as an issue, but they knew they were becoming less and less free and that they had felt less confined under the 45th President.
2. Americans absolutely got what happened with the last election and were vigilant to SEEK OUT AND STOP voter manipulation to the best of their ability. There were MILLIONS of eyes trained on this election all the way through, across nearly every county in every state. This, again, is YUGE. Unfortunately, we’ve still got election laws that need to be changed in Oklahoma – as well as other states – and we can’t neglect continuously lobbying our legislature for those. More than anything, our country must go back to the Constitutional ONE DAY of voting, period, with absentee ballots used ONLY for those voters overseas, incapacitated and the military. That HAS to happen before 2028 is even a glimmer in Vance’s Presidential campaign.
NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS
3. Oklahoma voters didn’t turn out ONE SINGLE DISTRICT JUDGE. This means to me that while Oklahomans showed up to vote for Trump, they were not educated enough about the importance of our judiciary to study up on the District Judges – and this election, there was plenty of info out there to share. It either didn’t get shared widely enough, or people didn’t care enough to become educated. District judges who rule on ideology and don’t follow the Constitution make decisions that make a difference in the lives of every day Oklahomans for the worst. Yes, Trump may be in the White House, but if you have to go to court and a District Judge doesn’t provide justice in your case according to the law, you’re not going to be happy.
Why do I use the word ignorant? Because our public schools DO NOT TEACH THE CONSTITUTION OR CIVICS by and large. The only reason I know any civics or Constitution is because I TAUGHT MYSELF. What 18-year-old is going to think, “I don’t know how our government works. I think I’ll teach myself!”? I’ve homeschooled numerous of these and mine have been a tough sell!
4. Same exact thing for the Supreme Court justices. Advertising for and against was probably half and half – maybe more toward retention I’ll have to crunch the numbers – and people (accidentally, I think) voted out the oldest judge of the three by a margin of a few thousand votes. Again, this indicates to me that people weren’t informed, they were simply listening to the ads that resonated with them the most, not really casting an educated vote.
5. Oklahoma County was almost exactly half and half for and against Trump and several of our county Republican candidates just barely squeaked by with wins, well-indicating that the largest center of population in Oklahoma ISN’T RED. Let that sink in a minute. Where is all policy for the state made? Where is the largest power center in the state?
SO WHAT’S THE TAKEAWAY HERE?
I was very active during the 2010 Red Wave. For those who don’t remember, President Obama, elected in 2008, began signing Executive Orders like – well there wasn’t much of a previous comparison – but certainly the way his Marxist handlers wanted him to. He pushed ObamaCare, he pushed Education Reform (including Common Core), he increased taxes and more. People were mainly incensed about the country having socialized medicine and went to the polls during the mid-term to vote like their hair was on fire, for anyone with an ‘R’ behind their name who promised to stop Obamacare.
What happened?
Nothing. Not. A. Thing. The Republicans – including our then-Congresswoman Mary Fallin – all got elected, went up to the nation’s capitol, bloviated a lot about how they’d stop Obamacare AND DIDN’T! They totally let the American people down on their promises which jaded American voters for at least a decade.
So please, you simply CAN’T believe that Republicans – including Trump – have the keys to proper Constitutional governance. It’s WE THE PEOPLE that hold those keys and when we neglect to use them by demanding accountability from our elected representation for our voices or we’ll vote them out, we get what we’ve had in the recent past.
So, instead of going to bed tonight and sleeping like a rock thinking that Trump’s gonna “fix” the last 50 years of disastrous government overgrowth, make THIS the election the one that causes you to become involved in your LOCAL government and schools. Make THIS the election that you educate yourself about Federal and Local GOVERNMENT and how they are SUPPOSED. Get out and meet your elected officials, keep up with organizations keeping up with legislation and lobby them on important bills on your own behalf. I guarantee you paid lobbyists, the Chamber of Commerce and large corporations/companies are doing that and those folks ARE NOT FOR THE PEOPLE, they’re for the BOTTOM LINE! Take back your rightful place as citizen lobbyist as soon as the legislature opens in February.
Pay attention to organizations out there like ROPE2.org who are telling it like it’s actually happening – even when the Republicans are doing it!
And remember – our public K-12 schools and our colleges and universities are producing little leftists as fast as they can. REALIZE: IF YOU DON’T CHANGE THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS – or if you don’t remove your children from the system and homeschool with an emphasis on American National Government as provided by the Founders of this country – we will continue to be subjected to the nonsense and political upheaval we’ve had in America for the last 20 years.
You must get active in your school district; go to meetings, talk to your board members – or become one – and MAKE the schools account for their money, their programming and the time they have your kids. We won’t win another election if you don’t.
Yes, conservatives/Republicans have a presidential victory this November 2024, but as Ben Franklin said about our Republic after the Continental Congress passed the Constitution of the United States on September 17, 1787 – “if you can keep it”.
October 25th, we hosted NeeAnn again so she could give us an update on their fight to stop the solar installation.
I urge you to watch the full live podcast on either our YouTube or Rumble channels, but below is a clip of NeeAnn talking about the fact that Garfield County residents have had to sue the City of Enid’s Metropolitan Area Planning Commission to force them to uphold zoning laws inside a 3 mile corridor through which NextEra has already begun construction WITHOUT ANY PERMITS.
Now think, just like we – and V1SUT Vantage – have explained with public schools that trample on parental rights, victims (taxpayers) of the Garfield County NextEra solar scheme, have to take their hard-earned dollars in hand and sue people whose jobs only exist because of TAX DOLLARS. So, citizens have their dollars taken from them by their government by force with the Constitutional expectation that their rights and liberty will be upheld by that same government, only to find out that they’ll have to use MORE of their hard-earned paychecks to force the government to do their jobs. This, is a sure sign of government tyranny.
NeeAnn and I also talked about the fact that what we’re seeing with the NextEra solar project in Garfield County is the same thing I’ve found with carbon capture in Oklahoma – NO ONE IS IN CHARGE OF PERMITTING OR PROTECTING THE SAFETY AND PROPERTY RIGHTS OF CITIZENS. How can this be? Because our Governor wants Oklahoma to be an “Open For Business“, “Top Ten State“, with a “More Of Everything, All-Of-The-Above Approach” to energy development. Okay, but where are the citizens in those political soundbites? What about their rights to their property and safety?
Those thing aren’t a priority of our Governor and that’s made very clear when you hear both NeeAnn and I talk about our findings with respect to the ‘green energy agenda’ in Oklahoma.
So let’s hear that from NeeAnn again…
Please, go to the website Garfield County residents have created to educate residents and other Oklahomans about NextEra’s solar facility, Stop Skeleton Creek Solar. While you’re there, be sure to donate to their cause because, as I well know – lawsuits aren’t cheap!
