Editorial, Oklahoma Politics

          Well, Oklahoma Democrats got smoked again (and some pollsters now have zero credibility). In 2014, State Sen. Joe Dorman, with little name recognition outside his district, pulled 41percent of the statewide vote. In 2018, former Attorney General  Drew Edmondson

          The shameless sham shuffles on. World leaders have descended on Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, for another United Nations climate summit. COP(out)-27 promises delegates a great stay at one of Egypt’s prime resorts, “known for its sheltered sandy beaches, clear waters

          With state voters getting a clear picture of his anti-education platform, Republican state school superintendent candidate Ryan Walters has resorted to another big GOP lie to try to rally supporters to his cause.           How can you tell if

Editorial, Oklahoma Politics

          Oklahoma Republican leaders count on solid support outside Oklahoma City and Tulsa to maintain their power, push their agenda. Little matter that state and national Republican policies work mostly against the interests of those voters and everyone but the

If I choose, I can drift down to my corner store, flash an ID – so corporate bosses can collect my personal data – and buy a pack of cigarettes.           Yet, cigarettes – perfectly legal for adults – have

Editorial, Oklahoma Politics

          It is an itch they can’t resist. Republicans see governmental money and conspire to put it into private bank accounts. Their economic policies cater to the richest among us – well, not among you and me, bunky, since that

Editorial, National Politics

          It was a big joke in conservative circles. Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – Republicans both – rounded up illegal immigrants and bused  or flew them to destinations in Democratic states.           Ha-ha.           Now,
