News: Let's all laugh at Oklahoma... (Kansas needs a break)

Are they the first state in the USA to vote no?

 

Both Dakotas voted to legalize but each state's congress came up with reasons to block it.

edit: I'm wrong, probably was high or something on election night or the following nights as votes came in

 

Not a laughing matter, people just speaking their mind behind closed doors.

According to the Sheriffs office they are investigating.....who made the illegal recording

 

The publisher of the paper admits to making the recording.

 

Yup, git outta town boy. There’s a tree and a hole with yo name on.

“As local KJRH reported Monday evening, the McCurtain Gazette's publisher Bruce Willingham was told that he and his family should flee town for their own safety.

The publisher's son, Chris Willingman "has written at least 30 articles alleging corruption involving the McCurtain County Sheriff’s Office over the last few years," KJRH reported”


“A short excerpt from the transcript reads:

District 2 Commissioner Mark Jennings: I know where two big deep holes are here if you ever need them.
Sheriff Kevin Clardy: I’ve got an excavator.
Jennings: Well, these are already pre-dug. But the thing of it is, you know.
Sheriff's investigator Alicia Manning: We actually told the truth.

Jennings: I’ve known, I’ve known two or three hit men, they're very quiet guys…
Manning: Yeah?“

 

It's like the Walking Tall movies (you can pick the original or remake) except that a reformist clean sheriff is not going to be elected.

 

New theme park coming to...NE Oklahoma?

The American Heartland Theme Park and Resort will include an amusement park comparable in size to Disney World's Magic Kingdom in Florida or Disneyland in California — but it won’t be in either state.

Instead, the park and resort are planned to be built on a 1,000 acre property in the heart of northeast Oklahoma, just off Route 66.

“Oklahoma is excited to welcome American Heartland Theme Park and Resort,” Oklahoma State Rep. Rusty Cornwell said in a press release. “Located on historic Route 66 just west of Grand Lake, the development will attract visitors from around the world to experience and celebrate the rich cultures and hometown values America has to offer.”

"Rusty Cornwell" sounds like the Nascar driver who outruns the revenoors to deliver the white lightnin'.

 

This sounds “interesting” depending which America they’re talking about?
I doubt Oklahomans have the same “Rich cultures or values” as say Californians or Noo Yorkers.

“the development will attract visitors from around the world to experience and celebrate the rich cultures and hometown values America has to offer.”

And they let him into my home town.

 

Oklahoma is going to use Prager U videos in their schools. Another state whose graduates won’t be fit to go to college.

 

The world needs ditch-diggers too.

 

Couldn't they just ask the Mormons for some bibles?

The Gideons could easily provide their reduced-Bible.

That tweet isn't telling the whole story of course: the closeted gay guy says it is $6 million in less than two years to "ensure we're not allowing the Left to censure American history". Because the Bible has so many chapters about American history!

 

This man doesn't believe a word he is saying.

 

Assuming he knows the difference between "censor" and "censure"-- is he really saying that all of American history is above reproach? And him so close to the terminus of the Trail of Tears?

 

The censure/censor thing was probably just me trying to think at 6:30 in the morning.

But then again, yeah, he probably does think all of American history is above reproach as well.

 

The Mormon one does!

 

Good grief, that's all we need - people teaching the BoM as if it were non-fiction

 

But it gets better!

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters is looking to supply the state Department of Education with 55,000 Bibles.

Out of 2,900 Bibles, only one fits Walters’ criteria: The Trump Bible.https://t.co/SZz2nqqvpe pic.twitter.com/JicRcSkGDR
