@GioBruno1600 Yeah, I can see it...as in, "I wonder why it's so ugly."

I am FURIOUS!
I discovered a bee hive in the guttering around the patio...and I did what ANY thinking taxpayer would do. I called 911 and told the operator I needed a SWAT team...immediately.
She rather condescendingly suggested that the Tulsa SWAT team is not equipped to swat bee hives.
What the heck is the use of funding a SWAT team that is ill-equipped to live up to their name when a taxpayer needs them?

@PendragonMR @WinningintheUSA It's in the name: Muscogee (as in Muscogee Creek Nation.)

@WinningintheUSA Drummond isn't a GOPer
I've mentioned this before, Democrats cheat. Their latest bid is to run as Republicans, then do Democrats' bidding.
Drummond was an abysmal AG
He won Muskogee County by fewer than 1200 votes. WTF is wrong with Muskogee County?

Who actually voted for Gentner Drummond in the GOP governor primary?
The narrow ~26% winner, finishing just over 1,000 votes ahead of Mazzei, isn’t the “Democrat plant” some are pushing. Oklahoma’s closed primary system doesn’t allow registered Democrats to simply cross over and vote Republican. While thousands changed party registration before the deadline, that represents only a small slice of the electorate, with many being Independents choosing a side.
The county results paint a different picture:
• Strong in the Oklahoma City metro, including Oklahoma County, and performed well in suburban areas such as Cleveland County.
• Weaker in the Tulsa metro, where Mazzei held an advantage.
• Benefited from name recognition as Attorney General, support from voters tired of the Stitt-era political drama, and likely picked up second-choice support from voters whose preferred candidates fell short and were looking for what they viewed as steady leadership over shifting political winds.
This wasn’t a secret blue wave. It was largely central Oklahoma Republicans prioritizing an enforcement record on issues like illegal marijuana operations and opioids, while valuing independence over pure Trump/MAGA signaling in this particular race. Trump’s “Fake Republican” criticism energized some opposition, yet Drummond still managed to come out on top.
The skeptical take? The “Democrats love him” narrative feels more like intra-GOP knife-fighting than serious analysis. It’s an easy way to label moderates as traitors while ignoring donor relationships, establishment influence, and political games being played on both sides of the aisle. Metro-area Republicans, in particular, appeared willing to reward experience over endorsements.
The August 25 runoff will answer the bigger question: Can Drummond consolidate the rest of the field, or can Mazzei unite Tulsa-area conservatives and the Trump base?
Research the records yourself. Don’t swallow the spin.
Oklahoma First. Not party puppet.

@LexInvisibilum @WinningintheUSA I'm a renter and I voted "No" on 832.
English

@WinningintheUSA I call it the Renters vs. the Owners. One small reason that helped start a war in the past.
When Renters decide policy everyone but Government loses. This is why in the old days only Landed Gentry could vote. The Red Amendment, (14th), ended that with Yankee Reconstruction.

What SQ 832 Really Revealed About Oklahoma: A Geographic and Demographic Divide
State Question 832 may have been about raising the minimum wage, but the election results revealed something much bigger: a clear geographic and demographic divide across Oklahoma.
The Results
• No: 348,914 votes (55.4%)
• Yes: 281,171 votes (44.6%)
• Total reported: ~630,085 votes
The proposal would have gradually increased Oklahoma’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 per hour by 2029 while eliminating several worker exemptions. Voters rejected it statewide.
The Geographic Story
The county map tells the story immediately.
Most of rural Oklahoma voted overwhelmingly No. Large portions of western Oklahoma, the Panhandle, and many southern and eastern rural counties rejected the measure by significant margins.
Meanwhile, support for Yes was concentrated primarily in Oklahoma’s largest population centers:
• Oklahoma County (Oklahoma City metro)
• Tulsa County (Tulsa metro)
• A handful of surrounding suburban counties
This created a familiar Oklahoma political map: population centers voting one way while most of the landmass voted another.
The measure won where population density is highest and where housing costs, rent, and service-sector employment tend to be more significant factors in daily life.
It lost across much of the state where agriculture, energy, manufacturing, and small business concerns play a larger economic role.
The Demographic Divide
The vote also reflected different economic realities.
Urban voters were more likely to include:
• Service industry workers
• Younger workers
• Renters
• College students
• Lower-wage hourly employees
For many of these voters, the minimum wage debate was tied directly to affordability, housing costs, groceries, and everyday expenses.
Rural voters often faced a different calculation.
Many communities are built around:
• Small businesses
• Family-owned operations
• Agriculture
• Ranching
• Energy-related industries
Opponents argued that higher labor costs could place additional pressure on employers already operating with thin margins.
The result was not simply Republican versus Democrat.
It was largely urban versus rural and different economic realities versus one another.
What It Means
SQ 832 energized voters in Oklahoma City and Tulsa but could not overcome opposition across the rest of the state.
The results suggest that Oklahoma remains deeply divided on economic policy based on where people live, how they work, and what challenges they face daily.
The map wasn’t just a vote on wages.
It was a snapshot of two different Oklahomas.
What do you think? Was SQ 832 rejected because of concerns about small businesses and agriculture, or because voters simply felt $15 an hour was too much, too fast?

@TheCalvinCooli1 Do they not realize that this is not about Donald Trump, but it's about we, the people of the United States?

@GretchenInOK @ChipKeatingOK I would have to paint my head purple...not enough hair to dye.
English

I voted for @ChipKeatingOK for governor in the primary election. Chip didn’t make the runoff cut—but despite my disappointment, I have no plans to dye my hair purple, riot, burn buildings, nor to rampage designer handbag stores to express my disappointment.

@PCSoonersFan Too bad Oklahoma doesn't allow write-in votes.

@thebigshmoog @NickJFreitas You didn't "inherit" the libs, you were overwhelmed by them.
English

@NickJFreitas #Arizona is a case study. We went from Hard Red to two dem Senators and a Dem Governor in a decade. We.domy have less Consevatives, we inherited too many Dems fleeing their messes.
English

To the New Yorkers fleeing NYC, a couple things…
1. You are fleeing policies. Those policies are a result of a leftist worldview, that in many ways you supported, donated to or assisted, even if it was with just your silence or apathy.
2. The places you are fleeing to, have done a much better job protecting their society and environment from that worldview than you did. So you need to learn from them, not try to lead them.
3. You may be rich and powerful and very intelligent in your respective field, but none of that power stopped the inevitable takeover of your beloved city, most likely because you thought you could placate or compromise with the left. You were wrong.
4. Respectfully, the lesson that needs to be learned from this, is not that the left went “too far” but that there is no such thing as “far enough” for the left. They can't be negotiated with, they need to be defeated. You can either help with that, or you can keep fleeing from place to place until there is no place left.

🚨ANTIFA TERRORIST SCUM CAUGHT ON CAMERA DUMPING BUCKETS OF TOXIC GEORGIA ALGAE INTO THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL REFLECTING POOL AT 3 AM — CAUSING MILLIONS IN DAMAGE AND NOW FACING TEN YEARS IN PRISON IF THEY DON’T RAT OUT WHO FUNDED THIS DISGUSTING ATTACK!
These radical left pieces of shit just hit a new low.
US Parks Police caught two Antifa operatives on camera driving a pickup truck onto the National Mall in the middle of the night and dumping multiple buckets of an extremely aggressive form of algae into the Reflecting Pool.
The pool is now a disgusting green mess, and the damage is already in the millions.USPP Captain Joseph Barron has them in custody. They’re not cooperating yet, but he’s got them dead to rights on film.
“It’s that or ten years in prison,” Barron said. “They’ve caused millions in damage.”
These domestic terrorists thought they could vandalize one of America’s most sacred sites and get away with it. Wrong.
This is what Antifa really is — not “mostly peaceful protesters,” but actual criminals who hate this country so much they’ll poison the Reflecting Pool in the dark.
Share this everywhere and let every patriot see exactly what these Antifa scum are still doing to our monuments!

@WinningintheUSA "October Surprise" in June
English


@deh599 @JacksonLahmeyer Probably because whoever is the Dem candidate for the 1st. Congressional district will be beat so badly...
English

@DavidJHarrisJr There's a first time for everything.
English

@WinningintheUSA @TheCalvinCooli1 I don't know if I would call myself a "Trumper" but I voted for JJ today. I generally followed the OK2A endorsements but I did deviate in a few cases.
English

@TheCalvinCooli1 I bet higher than that. Any Trumper is going to vote for TW Shannon. And maybe even the rest of them too.
English

Let’s talk about TW Shannon
I believe TW Shannon has a really good chance at getting over 50% and avoiding a runoff
If he doesn’t crack 50% then I believe he will crack the high 40s. The question is will a runoff happen if he has over a 20-point lead while everyone else is in the mid 10s.
I think it will depend on the candidates, some may call it quits others might press on not because they think they can win but because they want name ID for another you understand?
So we will see what happens. I think Shannon is the heavy favorite. He should be like Matt Pinnell. Again folks the LG's main priority is tourism, marketing, and promoting the state. Other states are different but that’s pretty much the role of the LG in Oklahoma. I do like JJ Humphrey's idea about getting the Senate in line though.
