Why Hasn’t Comey Been Raided/Gagged?

By Roger Stone

Opinion: This week I was interviewed on Newsmax, Real America’s Voice, and by multiple print outlets on the disparity between the manner in which I was arrested and the fact that James Comey hasn’t even turned himself in yet, for which he has a deadline of October 9.

Remember that Comey and I were both charged with essentially the exact same crime: lying under oath to Congress and obstruction of an official proceeding. Critics point out that I was also charged with witness tampering, but the evidence of that – an email in which I threatened to take a government witness Randy Credico’s dog – was nonsense because Judge Amy Berman Jackson would not allow my attorneys to enter into evidence a series of emails in which I expressed concern that Credico was not feeding his dog, opting to spend his money on drugs instead. Damn clever, that Andrew Weissmann.

The Real Problem with School Choice

By Jonathan Bartlett

Analysis: “School Choice” is the modern name for school vouchers.  Essentially, the idea is that money for schooling should follow a student wherever they go.  If they go to public school – great!  The public school gets the money.  But it is also fine if they go to a private school.  The private school will just get the money that would have gone to the public school.

Once upon a time I was in favor of this, and there are a lot of conservatives who favor this approach for a number of reasons.  I will also say that most of the criticisms of School Choice being brought out by either the public or the public school system almost completely miss the mark and misunderstand what is happening and what the goal is.  However, there is a deeper criticism of School Choice that I have come to recognize.

Busting Deviant Narratives

By David Arnett

Editorial: With the third largest deviant population in America (San Francisco, Houston are one and two), Tulsa has cause to oppose anti-morality narratives. Our Equality Center may not appreciate the truth, but once the “Gay Marriage” monstrosity became law, the desperate-for-fundraising-profitability folk, focused on a transsexual illusion to prosper themselves and rot the heart of America.

Breaking common propaganda, The Daily Signal offered “‘CULTURE OF VIOLENCE’: How a Big Leftist Transgender Group Juices the Numbers to Demonize Critics” by Senior Editor Tyler O’Neil. Published September 24 as a commentary, it is worthy of careful consideration as news.

Stop D.C.’s Push to One-Size Agreements

By Jessica Garvin

For nearly two decades, I have dedicated my career to caring for Oklahoma’s seniors and supporting the professionals who make their long-term care possible. As co-owner of Bison Health Management, Executive Director of West Wind Assisted Living, and owner and COO of Refuge Care, I see firsthand the challenges of building strong teams and running businesses in a heavily regulated field. Add to that my experience as a small business owner and former Oklahoma state senator, and I have learned one thing above all: when government oversteps, workers and businesses both suffer.

That’s why I am deeply concerned about the so-called Faster Labor Contracts Act recently introduced in Washington. On its face, the bill claims to streamline negotiations between employers and newly certified unions. In reality, it hands unprecedented power to government bureaucrats at the expense of Oklahoma workers and businesses.

Mazzei Minute: OK Newspapers

By Mike Mazzei

I guess it’s time to dump The Oklahoman Newspaper.  I have been reading it and the local Tulsa paper for three decades to stay abreast of news across the state.  The Oklahoman, under the ownership of the Gaylord family, used to be a reliable conservative-leaning newspaper.  Now part of the USA Today network, The Oklahoman has gone the way of radical left wokeism.

The day after 90,000 people packed a stadium to honor the life and Christian message of martyr Charlie Kirk, The Oklahoman headline read – “Kirk was a top conservative provocateur.”  How disappointing and disgusting.  Not once does the journalist, Zac Anderson, address the vile hatred and intolerance of Charlie’s murderer.  Rather, he paints Charlie’s ideas and comments as over-the-line, contentious dialogue.
