Barron Trump Gets Looked Up To..

7/26/2020

A Giant Youth On the 3rd Floor of the White House -

A friendlier press just couldn't get enough of the sweet Obama girls. The Bush Girls and even Chelsea Clinton were often the subject of many "Oh aren't they adorable" media narratives.
But a boy hasn't lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. since 1963. That's when John Kennedy jr. (long since deceased), was born to parents occupying the residency quarters.
Perhaps it's journalists who don't want to write anything humane or polite? Perhaps they don't know how to write about presidents' boys, as much as girls?
But Barron Trump has been with the public scene for 4 years and he's not the same youth he used to be.

At last estimate (circa his March 20th birthday) he was estimated to be about 6'5". He's not known to be competing in school sports. His school is the current varsity conference champion in basketball. He'll be a freshman, as best we know.
He's usually seen in some very impressive 'New Balance' athletic shoes. They're made in the USA, of Course.
He's fluent in Slavic languages. His Slovenian mother is a big reason for that. His Twitter acct. is @BARRONTRUMP. He has no posted tweets, but several fake accts. post vicious remarks in his name.
His parents broke from the Tradition of Sidwell Friends Academy, and enrolled him at St. Andrew Episcopal School.
He was born in 2006. His father was 59. His mother was 35.

Near his 14th Birthday, Barron was already taller than his parents.

Guest Editorial: 'Covering Up A Botched Police Carjacking'

7/23/2020

Comments

Note: there are many disturbing revelations surrounding the Ware case. The Public Defenders Office had to recuse, due to what could be illicit affairs and claims of felony adultery. An independent defense attorney will handle the case and reveal much more than the contents of this editorial, penned by David Oldham.

Tulsa Police Chief and Tulsa County DA caught lying to community
In the early morning hours of June 29, 2020 two Tulsa police officers were shot during a traffic stop. One died a day or so later, and the other remains in hospital. The shooter fled the scene. The shooter was identified as David Ware.
The same day, city officials, Tulsa Mayor GT Bynum, Tulsa PD chief Wendell Franklin, Tulsa County DA Steve Kunzweiler, and the US Attorney for NE Oklahoma Trent Shores held a press conference to inform the public about the incident and gain the public's help to locate Ware. The immediate narrative was that this was a cold-blooded shooting by a former felon who should have submitted to lawful orders, and that the police were heroes defending the community. They warned that if Ware would do this to police, that he was a danger to all of society. They expressed their contempt for Ware, and their near reverence for the police officers, in no uncertain terms. They called on the public to turn Ware in.
The police chief said in the press conference that the stop had been for an expired temporary paper tag, and that the officers decided to tow Ware's car. Ware, who had cooperated with police, disagreed with their claim of authority to take his car.

At this hastily-assembled press conference, the municipal & state officials hid the alleged illegal seizure of property, and created the narrative of a cold-blooded murderer. Now they are blocking the release of the brutal beating of the driver, and the felony crimes of the police.

Facebook Now Censors Medical Questions They Don't Like Us Asking

7/21/2020

Comments

Today the Facebook censoring dept. just disparaged a medical professional who openly asked; "What if the quarantining the healthy doesn't save lives?".
In basic high school logic, that statement is called a hypothesis. It's not a statement of fact, but a hypothetical. Politifact, the anointed bearer of all things truthful, decided that hypotheticals like the one stated by the medical professional are not allowed. The public is not supposed to ask; "what if". We are supposed to believe as fact, whatever the govt. decides is truth.
Another question posed by the physician..
‘What if wearing a mask in public is not effective?’
Politifact also said; "This is inaccurate. Official guidance from public health experts says wearing a mask in public can prevent the spread of the coronavirus."
This is a ramping up of academic censorship by facebook. It's an environment where some 'what if' questions will be punished. Not only will the person posting the questions be punished, but Facebook says that if the group doesn't step in and punish the group member, then Facebook will punish the whole group.

In short... Questions are not claims. Questions are essential in higher ed learning. It's how we challenge each other to become better thinkers and avoid intellectual laziness. We must never let others do our thinking for us, but that exactly what Facebook says we must do, especially if our politics is not in line with the orthodoxy that Facebook demands of all discourse on their website.
Youtube is doing similar censorship, but they are taking a different route in controlling content. A recent Oklahoma political rally to defend monuments was put on by a citizen group. Youtube shut down the live feed because a white mother had an open carry firearm in the video frame. Youtube said that their policy is now banning any live content with people bearing firearms.
Nevermind that the same videographer ran a 2 hour live feed of a Black Panther Open Carry rally in the same city. Hundreds were carrying arms and they were predominantly black. It's evidently just the white folk who are the problem with guns, in youtube's political agenda?

Advancing Toward Herd Immunity Thru Saturation Among the Strong

7/15/2020

Comments

The spread of the newest virus, Covid-19, has captivated and traumatized many who stay glued to network news accounts. But rather than relying on a magic vaccine to save humanity, we're finding our way through the 'gauntlet' by protecting our elders and infirmed, while our young & healthy are taking the brunt of the viral attack. Most are surviving the illness with little harm. Some experience no symptoms at all.
By all accounts, Oklahoma is handling the illness far better than our 'more enlightened' coastal states. One could say that Gov. Stitt's goal of Top Ten may be occuring in a category which truly means life or death for each of us.
It may be very advantageous for individuals to face the inevitability of a covid exposure in the months when the annual flu isn't already taxing our bodies as well as the communal healthcare resources.
But Dennis Thompson of Healthday believes that our illusive herd immunity threshold far sooner than what vaccine innoculations required. He've pasted part of that article for your review...

Is 43% a legitimate threshold for community resistance to the Covid-19 virus?

Tulsa Mask Mandate Ignores Prostitution & 'Hook ups'

7/15/2020

Comments

Claiming a health emergency, Mayor GT Bynum is presenting for immediate emergency action, a law which has no sunset clause. Unlike the statewide emergency declaration which has a constitutional 30 day sunset. Bynum wants this unprecedented restriction to remain in effect until he deems it no longer helpful to our health.
While the covid virus does transmit via air, the more dangerous concern is physical contact. Even more risky is the exchange of bodily fluids. Yet Bynum's order does nothing to slow down the casual sexual contact at known prostitution shops around town. the last big publicized prostitution sting was done nearly a year ago, and those female prostitutes were not arrested. Instead, DA Steve Kunsweiler says they were offered career counseling opportunities. Hair salons and dental offices face stricter enforcement of health rules than sexual services proprietors.

'Kanye West 2020' Presidential Campaign Ends

7/15/2020

Comments

The Kanye West presidential campaign was real. He'd hired a competent team of organizers and legal staff. But the clock had already run out. Even the expert, Steve Kramer, could not turn back the clock to meet the deadlines which passed many weeks ago.
Just 10 days ago, the energy was high and the 180 or so who were tapped to mobilize a national movement, are gone home.
And then there's the real concern about the psyche of Kanye's motivation. The brilliant mind of this artist & businessman has a history of transcending into the manic realm. He's been through many efforts to manage and stabilize his mental energy and keep it productive and sensible. If this was a manifestation of mania, no one is going on the record to impugn West's motivation.
West is, by all accounts, a cultural icon and global influencer. He just didn't understand the complexity of the political mess. He's not the first independent candidate to get hit by the immovable wall of resistance to populist insurgencies.
West can and probably will be a force in 2024 political discussions. But the only way he will be a candidate in 2020, is if the Democrats or Republicans draft him as their own nominee.

Good news vs Bad news

The latest state health dept numbers are affirming to everyone, depending on what you choose to obsess about. While the alarmists and other advocates for an Orwellian society are putting on a show of terror about the population actually catching a virus which we were all told would eventually go through the whole population; Others are celebrating the lessening threat of that virus causing grave illness.
In mid April, Oklahomans were dying at a daily rate near or exceeding 10 people per day.
Now the certified cases are running a daily count which is perhaps 10 times as many at once, but the death count per day is about what it was when Oklahoma went into shutdown.
Tens of thousands are certified to be fully recovered and immune to the virus, but some Oklahomans want to force harmful masks on to those in full recovery.
With the legislature in adjournment, leftist mayors and councils are having their way and criminalizing the failure to wear masks when the oligarchs demand compliance.

The Summer rate of death from The Wuhan strain of Corona Virus is currently a small fraction of the danger it posed last April.

Newhouse & Pugh Lead Senate Lawmakers In 2020 Freedom Index

7/7/2020

Comments

The 2020 Senate Freedom Index is now published, to compare the lawmakers' commitment to restoring and protecting individual liberties in their powers to create and rescind laws.
This year a pair of freshmen who are also former military officers, are tied for the top spot in the senate. Adam Pugh & Joe Newhouse both voted to restore & protect citizen freedoms in 9 of 10 floor votes. They also gained bonus points for authoring bills the Sooner Politics selection committee deemed essential and/or scored in the index.
The young Republicans from OKC & Tulsa metro districts, led all scores with a +85, on a spectrum of 100 to +100.
A person scoring a zero on this index is deemed to vote against freedom in half the scored floor votes. A score of +50 on this index is equivalent to a +75 on many other indices that do not issue negative index scores.
8 Republicans were close behind with scores of 80. they were:

Mark Allen
Michael Bergstrom
Larry Boggs
Julie Daniels

James Leewright
Casey Murdock
Paul Rosino
Gary Stanislawski

Joe Newhouse & Adam Pugh led all senate scores

The Majority of Next Year's Legislature Is Already Chosen

7/1/2020

Comments

When the governor presents his State of the State address to the 58th Oklahoma legislature, many new faces will be in the room, but we already know who about 2/3 of them are. 35 of the 48 senators are selected, and 62 of the 101 Representatives are already chosen.
The Republicans already have majorities locked up in both houses, and could reach 2/3 super majorities again.
But four incumbents have been given 'pink slips' by their own party's voters, in last night's election.
Senator Wayne Shaw was rejected by his eastern Oklahoma District. Many attribute that backlash to his refusal, as chairman of the public safety committee, to hear bills restoring 2nd Amendment self defense rights. Senators Larry Boggs & Ron Sharp will have to face tough odds in a runoff in order to make it to the General election Senator Paul Scott also faces a runoff hurdle.

The House elections saw incumbents from both parties rejected by their own party base. Jason Dunnington was an effective ally of Majority Floor Leader Jon Echols when bipartisan solutions were possible. But a far left candidate, Mauree Turner; unseated Dunnington. The not-so-conservative Lundy Kiger was unseated by the returning Rick West, who stepped out of legislative service 2 years ago. Derrel Fincher of Bartlesville was also defeated by Wendi Stearman.
The Oklahoma Democrats are no longer a viable party outside the metropolitan and state university areas. But within the 4 stronghold counties, they are targeting certain seats and reclaiming some of them.

Massive Voting Irregularities - Call For FBI Criminal Investigation

7/1/2020

Comments

SQ802 is under a cloud of criminal suspicion during the overnight hours following the close of primary night voting.
The mailed in ballots far exceeded previous norms, but more important to the Attorney General's office, should be the vast contrast between the 80% support for Medicaid expansion claimed in these faceless ballots, and the election day rejection of taxpayer-funded health benefits by a 10% margin of deficit.

The Governor is expected to call on AG Mike Hunter to seek a court injunction for a stay of the certification, until an investigation can be completed.

How Does Voter Fraud Happen In Oklahoma?

While strict policies protect the casting of in-person voting, there are not sufficient safeguards for Registering to vote. Individuals and groups can conspire to commit massive voter fraud of the state's elections by filling out tens of thousands of fake voter registrations and mailing them in or having political operatives collect them and drop the fake individual's cards at an election office in any county.

Two Tulsa Cops Shot Over A Car Tax Dispute With Driver

6/29/2020

Comments

Today, two Tulsa cops are clinging to life for attempting to collect vehicle taxes for the state. What used to be a citation offense, was changed by the legislature, to a vehicle impoundment and potential forfeiture. The registration tax is often over $1000.
100 years ago, our Oklahoma constitution and statutes prohibited courts & cops from taking a worker's tools or his horse as punishment for an offense. Today, our marble chambers of lawmaking, have an insatiable lust for asset forfeiture without due process.
We now raise the stakes for our cops by making them bring economic ruin to a family because we sometimes can't pay the vehicle tax quickly, which the legislature actually doubled just 2 years ago. None of these actions justify a brutal shooting of two cops. I simply wish to inform the lawmakers...
It this the kind of outcome you envisioned when you decided to 'get tough' on collecting taxes with the impoundment of property? The cops were doing the bidding of the Oklahoma Tax Commission and the state legislature. I pray they survive, and I pray our lawmakers reconsider their 'get tough & get physical' approach to tax collections.

O'Donnell Leads All House Lawmakers In 2020 Freedom Index

6/28/2020

Comments

Rep. Terry O'Donnell

The 2020 House Freedom Index is now published, to compare the lawmakers' commitment to restoring and protecting individual liberties in their powers to create and rescind laws.
This year a member of the House leadership team Terry O'Donnell of the Tulsa metro delegation, led all scores with a +85, on a spectrum of 100 to +100.
A person scoring a zero on this index is deemed to vote against freedom in half the scored floor votes. A score of +50 on this index is equivalent to a +75 on many other indices that do not issue negative index scores.
Once again, two House freshmen tied in the 2nd spot; along with Rep. Kevin West of the OKC metro delegation. The freshmen were rural lawmakers from eastern Oklahoma, David Hardin, and David Smith.
Former Democrat, Johnny Tadlock was one of four Republicans tied for the 4th spot, along with Jim Olsen, Sean Roberts, & Judd Strom. Olsen & Strom are in their first 2-year term. Tadlock completed his 3rd term, Roberts finished his 5th term.

Unlike last year's inaugural index, the two major parties are not as clearly separated. Democrat Merleyn Bell scored 0, but that still put her as high or higher than 26 Republicans. Dell Kerbs was the lowest scoring Republican with a -40, which is worse that the worst Democrat in the 2019 index. Last year's average score was +28.8, but this year's score is a pathetic +6.8, which isn't small govt. creed.

Tulsa Mayor Mulling Mandatory Mask Edict, Despite No recent Deaths

6/27/2020

Comments

Of all the reported 384 deaths of Covid-19, in Oklahoma; just 49 have been in the past 4 weeks. We are 2 1/2 months past our peak death rates from mid April (the month when 200 Oklahomans died).
The recent spike in positive tests correlate with;

massive increases in testing the general public, even though they present no illness symptoms;
the massive youth protests of a few weeks ago.

But Tulsa County's controversial, and increasingly political county Health dept director, Bruce Dart; is signaling to Tulsa Mayor GT Bynum that he may very soon ask to mandate the wearing of face masks. Dart indicated to a Tulsa radio station of Friday that his entire top leadership is in favor of the draconian mandate.
Bynum had said that if the health dept recommends it, the edict of the mayor will be forthcoming.
And all previous mask edicts have never had exemptions for those fully recovered from Covid-19 and aflush with antibodies to inoculate them.

Oklahoma Death Toll Ceased For 10 days

Despite no deaths in the entire state for the past 10 days, the narrative of more govt controls is being echoed from one leftist media outlet to another, in a reverberating chamber of fear.

Does this death chart look like it's a building problem?

NY Governor's Fascism Killed More New Yorkers Than Al Qaeda

6/27/2020

Comments

Govt regulation can kill more than no regulation at all.

There were 3,298 confirmed NY nursing home deaths from the coronavirus & another 2,646 deaths presumed to have been caused by COVID-19, for a total of 5,944, according to the official figures., as of Sunday, May 31st.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has faced widespread criticism for his handling of nursing homes amid the coronavirus crisis, including a controversial, March 25 directive from the state Department of Health that mandated they accept patients discharged from hospitals with the infection.
Cuomo — who reversed the order a month later, has tried to pin the blame for the initial decision on guidance from President Trump’s administration.
As an economic model, fascism is often misidentified and demagogued. When a govt's lust for more control is launched into an agenda for execution, they have two versions of tyranny to choose from. Corporate giants spend billions to encourage fascism because it allows them to remain wealthy and even build on that wealth by using govt regulations to kill off smaller & more efficient business competition.

A reporter asked Gov. Cuomo; "Who can be held responsible for the mass deaths caused by sending the deadly virus into nearly every NY nursing home?" "No one", was Cuomo's reply.

Is Medicaid really fascism? Yes! Did it lead to thousands of NY nursing home deaths? Yes!
