Governor Mary Fallin
I’m proud to be part of the recently announced water rights settlement agreement among the state of Oklahoma, the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations and Oklahoma City. By choosing cooperation and collaboration over conflict and litigation, this historic agreement strengthens governmental relationships based on the common interests of the state and the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations.
Recently, I’ve been studying the latest breakthroughs in psychological experiments and behavioral science. My university training is in psychology and sociology, and I find that studying people and how they think is a key to success in every area of life.
Scientists have discovered that we all have several million images around us every day. We only convert approximately two thousand of these images into conscious thoughts or ideas. The process of how we convert subconscious information into conscious thoughts may well be the most important element of success and defining who we really are.
Fidel Castro 2016
Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro marked his 90th birthday by taking a sideswipe at US President Barack Obama. This after Obama capitulated to the Communists and visited the murderous leadership.
Castro, who stepped down as president in 2006 appointed his brother Raul in his place, also used the occasion to lambast America.
Volunteers from Antioch Baptist Church help distribute food and essentials to Tulsa families in need.
The Antioch Baptist Church teamed up with Feed the Children to lend a hand to Tulsa-area families Thurs., Aug. 11, from 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. That’s when 400 families received food and essentials filling one Feed the Children semitruck at the Antioch Baptist Church.
Each pre-identified, participating family received a 25-pound box of food; a 10-pound box of much-needed essentials like shampoo, conditioner, lotion and personal-care items; a box with assorted Avon products; and children’s Disney books. Volunteers from the Antioch Baptist Church and Feed the Children were on-site serving and assisting. Quik Trip also donated 26 bags of ice for the event.
The Oklahoman is reporting today that their investigations show police departments in the OKC metropolitan area have seized nearly $40 million from suspected criminals since the early 1990s.
They’ve also spent millions in seized cash during that time, on anything from Medicare payroll costs to high-dollar patrol bikes to police dogs.
It is a shame Northeastern Oklahoma does not have a newspaper worthy of the name to conduct such an investigation here.
