Updated: The Tulsa Republican Club (TRC) has been dissociated from the Republican Party of Oklahoma (OKGOP) by the State Executive Committee, the governing body of the party with all 77 Counties represented. They took this unusual formal action based on TRC’s public and private acts and statements asserted to be contrary to Republican principles.
Analysis: The death cult named “Islamic Republic of Iran” declared war on the world. Never a republic, some argue it is a heresy of all Islam. Regardless, the drive to destroy the world in Armageddon is anti-civilization. Christians, among others, have fought their own heresies. Scholars of Islam have corrected their own, but without much media notice.
Analysis: We all see the same problem: endless money printing destroys purchasing power, debt-based systems eventually collapse, and you cannot print your way to prosperity. The disagreement has always been over the solution.
For 5,000 years, gold was the best money humanity ever had in the physical world. It was durable, divisible, and scarce. But even gold had practical limits. As global trade exploded and the pace of communication and innovation accelerated, physical gold simply could not keep up. Moving heavy bars across borders was too slow for the demands of an ever-increasing global economy. So, humanity built trust layers on top of it: vaults, custodians, paper IOUs, and bank promises. Those layers were a practical solution to scale commerce and match the speed of a rapidly expanding world.
Money is rarely the real argument in a marriage.
What looks like a disagreement about spending, saving, debt or retirement is often something deeper. It is stress. It is fear. It is control. It is silence that has gone on too long. It is one spouse feeling alone in the responsibility and the other feeling cornered by the conversation. It is two good people, often working hard and trying to do the right thing, slowly drifting onto different financial pages without realizing how far apart they have become.
That is what makes money so powerful inside a relationship. It is never just numbers. Money touches security, freedom, dignity and the future. It affects where a family lives, how they raise children, how they care for aging parents, when they can retire, and whether they feel at peace or under pressure when they look ahead.
Analysis: Oklahoma voters, face a choice on June 16th that goes far beyond a simple wage increase. State Question 832 promises a “modest” path to $15 per hour by 2029, then locks in automatic yearly rises forever, tied to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. This index reflects the inflated costs of New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, not Oklahoma reality.
On the surface it sounds compassionate. But look closer, and we see it moves us away from personal responsibility and voluntary agreements. Plus, it ignores two deeper truths and will only make our economic reality worse, not better.
