Opinion: Oklahoma is home to hundreds of thousands of seniors who depend on Medicare Advantage for their healthcare. For many, this program means the difference between getting by and truly living with peace of mind. It’s upsetting that the program is being targeted by some lawmakers in Washington.
Opinion: A case pending before the Oklahoma Supreme Court asks a simple question. Is it legal to require that initiative-petition efforts gather signatures from across Oklahoma? The answer is easy: Yes.
Senate Bill 1027, by state Sen. David Bullard and House Speaker Kyle Hilbert, made several reforms to Oklahoma’s initiative-petition process, but the most notable required the collection of signatures equal to no more than 11.5 percent of the votes cast in any county during the most recent statewide general election (when seeking to change state law) or 20.8 percent (when seeking to amend the Oklahoma Constitution, which requires more signatures to advance to the ballot).
‘These people are being martyred for the faith while we sit comfortably at home in America, unwilling to speak out against these atrocities’ says Dr. Alex McFarland.
Christians around the world may be watching in horror at the mass genocide of Christians in Nigeria, but they are not doing enough to stop the slaughter. Nigeria is home to more than 106 million Christians, and most believers face severe oppression and hostility on a daily basis. This year, Nigerian Christians are being martyred at a rate of more than one per hour. “If nothing is done in the next few years, Christianity will cease to exist in Nigeria,” said one expert. To the shame of the American church, even self-avowed atheist Bill Maher called out the “systematic killing” of Christians in Nigeria while too many U.S. churches remain silent.
President Donald J. Trump at the White House yesterday declared October 14, 2025 as a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. The proclamation follows:
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.
