Home owners face obstacles…

Editorial, National Politics

          I live alone in a small brick home in a neighborhood almost as old as I am. In most parts of the world, three generations would consider my abode a place of luxury – running water, heat, even air

Bearing witness…

          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

State’s Rights. Earlier this month a Republican, an intelligent and thoughtful fellow of high reputation, remarked that he is for states’ rights. One hundred years ago the Democratic Party wore the conservative label. During the 19th century the Democratic party

Another massive waste of energy…

Climate Crisis, Editorial, National Politics

          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

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

Editorial, National Politics

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

Learning – not profit – centers…

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
