Vote Yourself, Save Civilization

By David Arnett

From Maine to California, Florida to Alaska, and certainly in Minnesota and Michigan, the Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) have consumed the Democratic Party and shown themselves to be a coordinated criminal enterprise. America is tired of being punked (humiliated completely) by clowns within and fools worldwide.

American Voters can watch Europe and especially France as Socialism runs out of other people’s money, then riots for more free stuff, as the gateway to barbarism is crossed into whatever “ism” you may like to call tyranny and enslavement in the name of law and order.

To save the civilization our forefathers suffered and died to maintain, please vote Tuesday November 3, 2026. Following are links to coverage (print and video) and editorial picks for this critical election.

Recurring OK Audit Problems

By David Arnett

Oklahoma State Auditor & Inspector (SA&I) Cindy Byrd Monday released the Federal Single Audit for FY 2024. This annual audit is a federally-mandated examination of whether the State of Oklahoma spent federal grant money in compliance with federal regulations.

The audit report covers roughly $14 Billion of expenditures which are audited based upon a formula provided by the federal government.

“This is the fourth Single Audit in a row in which we have warned lawmakers and agency directors about the consequences of mishandling federal money,” Auditor Byrd said. “While the amount in questioned costs has decreased from the previous year, Oklahoma still has improvements to make to ensure good financial management. The debt is piling up and Oklahoma taxpayers could be forced to refund millions of dollars to the federal government.”

Straight Up Tulsa Primary Guide

Analysis: Let’s hope everyone in Oklahoma can tell the difference between good, evil, and outrageous idiocy. The attacks on Trump endorsed candidates Mike Mazzei and Jackson Layhmeyer are unjustified and executed by known operatives Oklahomans will long despise. Dark Money, overseas Muslim media manipulation, and local fools have been active this election cycle. We will remember them all and especially the line, “POLITICAL SATIRE. AI-GENERATED IMAGES DO NOT DEPICT ACTUAL EVENTS.”

State Audit: Varnum Public School District

By David Arnett

“Blind trust is the opposite of oversight.”

Oklahoma State Auditor & Inspector [SA&I] Cindy Byrd today released her investigative audit of the Varnum Public School District in Seminole County. District Attorney Erik Johnson requested the audit in response to concerns raised by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office. The audit period covered June 1, 2018 through June 30, 2022.

“The signature stamp strikes again,” Auditor Cindy Byrd said. “The use of a signature stamp, combined with instances of individuals signing on behalf of others without proper authorization, contributed significantly to the findings of this audit report. I strongly encourage every government entity in Oklahoma to discontinue the use of signature stamps and implement stricter controls over authorization for approvals.”

Yes folks, there are “Red Neck Auto-Pens” here in Oklahoma.

Oversight Problems in Lincoln County

By David Arnett

“The taxpayers of Lincoln County, whose lives depend on 911 services, deserve better than this.”

Oklahoma State Auditor & Inspector [SA&I] Cindy Byrd yesterday released her forensic audit of the Lincoln County E-911 Trust Authority. The District Attorney requested the audit after citizens expressed concerns about potential improper payments to the Authority Director.

The audit period covered July 1, 2019 through September 14, 2023.

“Lincoln County’s E-911 Trust Authority created an environment that allowed abuse to flourish,” Auditor Cindy Byrd said. “The Board members were not conducting regular reviews of bank statements and payroll records. They did not require expenditures to be reported to the Board prior to payment. If Board members had followed rudimentary oversight practices, they could have stopped the abuse the moment it started.”
