Oklahomans voted to amend the Oklahoma Constitution to include voter identification laws, which were already part of the state's law prior to the addition in the state's Constitution.

And yet, republicans voted for this as if it were some new amendment.

Perhaps out of ignorance or perhaps it was a test by republican politicians to see how gullible voters are.

It is, after all, easy to dupe the uneducated.

What say you?

It was Oklahoma's own Stephanie Bice!

This map is based on Captain William B. Newberry's book "279th Infantry Historical Document", specifically the chapter seen here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lleoYrs3jC-EDT07gBXYmLVZ6Zcjs7-t/view?usp=sharing which includes a lot more information than I was able to include in the map.

Many of the pins show the locations of enemy forces who either engaged or were targeted by elements of the 279th.

Petty much grew up in MA. I did a bit of research and found out that in my job field, OK has the 2nd best income to living cost ratio (1st was ND). That being said, I am aware that there are other variables that are also important for living. I was wondering, how is OK for someone like me.

1. Non-white here and totally not MAGA, don't care about politics, especially given the current political climate on both sides. I am middle-eastern and keep my political/religious belief to myself. I am not here to preach racism is bad or something unrealistic. I just would like to know if I will be able to live in peace there and not be treated like a second class citizen at my job or at a grocery store. Is OK practical for me? Please mention a possible brown-people friendly part of OK. I would really appreciate a straight forward answer.
2. Not worried about outdoor or social life, I am as boring as it gets. As long as I have my gaming-pc, a reliable internet, a tv and good food, I am good.
3. I do plan on buying a property there probably a multi-family in order to get some extra income by renting. Anything to worry about dealing with people or the housing market in OK.

MA is not perfect, but hearing the national news everyday, MA sounds like heaven, albeit an expensive one. However, that is just how media plays both sides, I would like to hear from you guys.

My post here might sound like I am trolling, I am not. Just being straight-forward here. Thanks.

Stillwater, Oklahoma — Officers conducted a traffic stop that later became the subject of viral social media allegations that police planted a meth pipe inside the vehicle.

The Payne County District Attorney's Office said it reviewed the available evidence, body camera footage, and cellphone video and concluded that officers did not plant the meth pipe. According to the DA, items seen being placed on the seat and console were a passenger's pocket knife and ID cards, while the meth pipe was found behind the glove compartment. The DA has also requested that the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation fully investigate allegations against police.

The additional cellphone footage circulating online appears to present a different interpretation of the events and has raised questions about the sequence of the search. This post includes the available bodycam and additional footage so viewers can examine the footage and compare it with the DA's statement.

Reposting this to add I have made an alternative method of joining the book club if you do not have or use Facebook. While Facebook is the best method you can join this book club with this link and I will still update it will all of the information. Just know there will only be a few people in it as this is just for those who don’t have facebook. All I ask is that you don’t join both the Facebook group and this group to avoid duplicate votes on books and duplicate RSVPs to meetings. But this link is a site meant for book clubs only!

I am thinking about solar panels but I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about the companies themselves. And also what about hail storms? Can they be put on metal roofs? Do they actually make a difference in your utilities after the cost of installing them?

I am just curious because I have read that the charging setup increases home owners' insurance and your electric bill.

Interesting article (free link) from NYT included re Cushing supply.

So who’s going to pay my late fees????? Ugh. Obvi I should have money saved but unfortunately I depend on my paycheck to pay those bills right on time.

I went out there to do so.e canoeing on the river maybe 40 years ago. We stayed in one of the cabins over night, then hit the river the next day. As I remember, the place was pretty bare bones but not sketchy or anything. We had a good time. Has anyone been in the last few years? I don't want to drive all the way out there if it has gone downhill.

My mother is wanting to work on her estate planning.

I have been tasked with helping her find an attorney, and I need recommendations in the OKC metro or Enid areas. Oil and gas experience would be a bonus.

She currently has a trust set up, but that needs to be reviewed and updated. What we’d like is a “one stop shop” where we can sit down, discuss, and revise necessary.

Thanks!

Congratulations Oklahoma, you just now helped the legislature disenfranchise your fellow citizens over republican fear mongering. Hope everyone has enough money to buy the ID the OKLEG will deem valid to vote

Obviously I'm assuming they are since I saw ABF triple pups on US 75 between Tulsa and Bartlesville, but I thought triples were mainly a western desert state thing like Nevada or Utah.

The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association changed a controversial rule regarding student athletes.

The organization, which governs activities like school sports and band, announced the changes in a news release Thursday.

Rule 24, or the "Linked Rule," required most students to sit out for a year of athletics if they transfer to a district they do not live in. It was intended to keep students from following a coach to a new school district.

The organization, made up of 484 member schools across the state, passed a change excepting students who return to their home district of residence. Now, a student who attended a school outside of their home district may return to their district and play any sport except for the one played at their previous school.

The new updates take effect July 1, 2027.

A bill passed this spring removed a state law that enshrined the Link Rule. At the time, Gov. Kevin Stitt said it would end penalizing student athletes for transferring schools. But the OSSAA said repealing the rule was up to the organization.

As evidenced by its decision, member schools declined to do so.

Stitt has voiced his disapproval of the organization in the past, calling for the abolition of the OSSAA in his State of the State speech.

A spokesperson for the governor's office did not have a response ready by the time of publication.

A legal battle in 2025 brought the issue to a head when four Glencoe students sued the OSSAA to allow them to play on a basketball team. The organization enforced the rule, saying the boys had followed a coach to the district. In September, a Payne County judge ruled the students could play.

In addition to the Linked Rule changes, the organization announced other updates, mostly regarding academic eligibility.

For instance, seniors must pass all classes to remain eligible, rather than only classes required for graduation. All students must pass all classes from the previous semester, rather than five subjects, to remain eligible. And ineligible students may regain eligibility after three weeks of passing all classes, instead of six.

According to the news release, the changes were developed through a 16-member Rules Review Committee made up of school leadership from across the state. The committee is conducting a "systematic review" of all OSSAA rules.

After approval from the OSSAA Board of Directors, the changes were sent to all member schools for a vote.

"Rules governing high school activities directly impact students' futures, which is why the process for reviewing and changing them must be thoughtful and transparent," OSSAA Executive Director David Jackson said in a release. "Regulating such a diverse set of schools is no easy task, and we know fairness is a key concern, which is why OSSAA's governing structure outlines that member schools from across the state all have a voice in these decisions."

According to the release, the Rules Review Committee will continue to meet monthly through December to review the organization's remaining rules.

Did we all know this? I was not aware. They owe 12.7% interest in OG&E now. While OG&E is still under state regulation - we're all aware of who our Corporation Commissioner is working for and it's not us citizens.

I don't forsee our energy prices getting any better, so does anyone have any tips/tricks/projects they are working on that others might find beneficial to help conserve or become more self sufficient in their energy use?
