A recent decision by the Oklahoma Supreme Court effectively provided the green light for an initiative petition that would completely upend Oklahoma elections, replacing our system with the one used in California and Washington states.
Young and old and all between can find fun at the Tulsa State Fair now underway.
Free concerts abound and offer a chance to win “meet and greet” with the preforming artists. Future Farmers and 4-H exhibits. Oklahoma vendors and local businesses present their wares.

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.
