Sample Ballots Can Be A Great Help At Your Polling Place

Wow, today's LIVE podcast was a wide-ranger! We brought up various websites that provide voter information and walked through them a bit. We also talked a whole lot about our voting philosophies, so you won't want to miss the whole video here on YouTube and Rumble. Jenni talks about how much of a help it was for her mom when Jenni would print out her sample ballot, take it to her house and walk through her voting options. Then, her mom would take it to her polling place to use it as a cheat sheet. Don't hesitate to use this method if it will help you recall the people/issues you've decided to give your vote!

How You Know For A Fact - Carbon Sequestration Is A Scam

During the Friday, October 25th podcast, the panel talked about how hard Enid/Garfield County residents were having to work to protect themselves and their community from a 5000 solar installation to be built just north of the city. We also talked about the entirety of the green agenda being pushed by the Republicans in our state - including carbon capture. (See our article just out - Did You Know? Oklahoma Has The Second Largest Carbon Capture Plant In The World As Of August 13th, 2024) Here we talk about the absolute NONSENSE that is carbon capture - spending gazillions of tax and private dollars taking CO2 out of the air to stop 'global climate change' and storing it underground in the pore space left by oil and gas or in containment systems which can leak out and or rupture and kill anything around it - when we have little organisms that are doing that to HALF the world's CO2 FOR FREE.

Enid Residents Sue City Council For Not Doing Their Jobs

During the podcast for Friday, October 25th, NeeAnn Clinton from Enid, in Garfield County, talked with us about the 5000 acre solar installation that is being planned for just north of Enid. Many residents are not in favor of this kind of installation because of the many risks to the community that come from solar installations - including long-lasting lithium battery fires that give off toxic fumes, use millions of gallons of water to fight and require expensive, special firefighting equipment. Unfortunately, so many of the 'green agenda' projects coming in droves to a city near you in Oklahoma, are not being regulated by Oklahoma regulatory agencies, allowing 'green energy' companies coming into the state - mostly from outside - to do business as they like. This leaves citizens trying to protect their property and individual rights without any assistance from the government they pay to protect them from unregulated industry. In this episode, NeeAnn talks about desperately trying to find an Oklahoma regulatory agency to help them stop the private company NextEra, from turning 5000 acres of productive farmland into a toxic wasteland devoid of life and finally having to SUE the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission to make them follow their own regulations. Make no mistake - this is taxpayers paying a taxpayer-paid group of elected officials to do the jobs they were elected to do. How does this happen in RURAL RED STATE OKLAHOMA?

The Governor Cares More About Being 'Open For Business' Than Protecting Protecting The Rights Of Citizens

What Is Managed Care? Who Is Sooner Select Supposed To Be Helping?

Wednesday, October 23rd, we had Senator David Bullard and citizen, Salome Vaughn a former Republican candidate for Logan County Commissioner, to talk about the state's change from SoonerCare to SoonerSelect - a form of managed care. The change to managed care (a type of 'socialized' medicine) was forced by Governor Kevin Stitt, though Oklahoma had tried managed care before in the 90's and it the program lasted only 60 days before it was so UNMANAGEABLE it had to be scrapped. Here, Michael and Jenni talk with their guests drill down to just what managed care is and how and why it's not working in Oklahoma - yet again.

What Happens When We Give Non-Citizens, Citizenship Rights?

In the full video (found here on YouTube and Rumble), we talked about the fact that there is very little way that this Task Force is talking about any other than non-documented citizens – those coming across the border – not the ones already here, or coming here, with Visas to work. People who hire foreign workers – like those they seem to be talking about in the recommendations on H1B Visas – do so directly. A worker here on an H1B Visa doesn’t just ‘show up’ for work – they have to be recommended by their employer to work for them, or they have to be sponsored by a church or another sponsoring organization. These pathways are already well-known and well-used by Oklahoma employers. It may seem nuts for Jessica to say that the majority of undocumented people can’t even read in their own language before entering the country (making them a HUGE liability in every way – including public schools!), but I found a study done in 2017 – before it became racist to say “illegal immigrant” – which clearly shows that English literacy hovered around 40% for immigrants. With our own student scores now at 49th in the nation, how could we expect anything different for those coming to this country – especially those coming illegally? Since the Biden/Harris Administration’ open borders policies, child sex trafficking has more than TRIPLED. Do we think this will get better with illegals acting like citizens because they have a card that lets them drive? That just opens up a whole new world of TRAFFICKING via – legal driving! Bottom line, NOTHING THE GOVERNOR’S TASK FORCE RECOMMENDED SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS POLICY IN 2025. The recommendations grows government, is a joke to public safety and doesn’t address the fact that most skilled workers coming here to work already have a path to that job without Oklahoma getting involved.

How Is It Public Safety To Give People Who Can't Read In Their Own Language A License To Drive?

Cam reached out with numerous insights that Michael and Jenni hadn’t heard in the press, so we asked him to come on and talk about them. Since Jessica serves with him on the Governor’s Hispanic Council, Cam suggested she come too. Of course, one of the topics discussed was the Task Force’s plan to provide – no joke – Driver’s Privilege Cards to non-citizens. Here’s Jessica talking about SOME of the problems this would cause. Seriously, we should all call out Lt. Col. Joe Williams, designee of the Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety for having zero clue about what constitutes PUBLIC SAFETY. I scoured the section of the recommendations under the heading “The Task Force recommends issuing Driving Privilege Cards to qualifying non-citizens to address public safety concerns” and couldn’t find a single place in which they said that the ‘non-citizens’ getting these cards would be TESTED like regular Oklahoma citizens are, TO DRIVE. That’s honestly outrageous. None of this Task Force's recommendations can become policy in 2025! They are all HORRIBLE.

How To Stop Child Predators In Public Schools Like Wetumka - ROPE Report Short

In this video, Mary, of V1SUT, and Casey Yochum, one of the many victims of Brent McGee, former coach, teacher and athletic director at Wetumka public schools - where his wife Donna was the Superintendent - talk about the signs parents and community members can watch for to protect students/children against child predation. This is a great short video to watch and then share with other parents. It is invaluable information that so many people overlook. So many times a coach taking time with a student is considered mentoring - and hopefully MOST of the time it is - but not always and people in the community and within the school need to have their eyes open. Unfortunately, as talked about in the video, oftentimes, victims are looked at as lying when they come forward to tell their stories of abuse by school personnel. Then, the school closes ranks around the accused and the victim is further locked out and ignored. You can find the entire video here on our YouTube channel under our 'live' video tab and you can find Mary at V1SUT.com. There, you can find all the stories of abuse that she has been following within public schools over the last several years. This. Must. Stop.

Casey Yochum - Sexual Abuse And Wetumka Public Schools; ROPE Report Short

Our friend Mary, from V1SUT Substack, has broken and then followed, several stories of student sexual abuse by public school employees - many of them coaches - across the last two years. Last month, Wetumka Public Schools coach, teacher and athletic director, Brent McGee - whose wife Donna is the Superintendent of Wetumka schools - was arrested for child sexual abuse, in part on the basis of Yochum's testimony and the evidence he provided law enforcement. Please see V1SUT's substack for the full backstory and on-going story of Casey, and other men and boys who have bravely stepped up to put McGee behind bars and away from anyone else he could possibly hurt. You can find her reporting at V1SUT.com. In this video, Casey talks a bit about how he took matters into his own hands and recorded Bret McGee admitting that he had abused him, but when he took the recording to an attorney friend, he found that his age put him beyond the statute of limitations for being able to build a case against McGee in court. Why would there be a statute of limitations to a crime? Who would that serve? Why would Senate Education Chair, Adam Pugh want to fight to have a statute of limitations on crimes committed by members of the public school system in Oklahoma? Who would benefit from that? The victims? Please watch the entire live video to hear Casey tell the full story under the 'live' tab on our YouTube channel and on Rumble. Casey wants to see the statute of limitations for crimes - especially like those perpetrated against him - done away with.

Duplicate Voter Found On Comanche County Voter Rolls After Primary Election Audit

On Friday, October 11th, Michael and Jenni had their friend Amber Evans from Comanche County, Oklahoma, on to talk about her examination of Comanche County voter rolls in the face of new information from the Oklahoma Election Board that the Oklahoma 2024 primary elections were 100% accurate. Amber ran Comanche county data against the NCOA in September of last year and found that 19.3% of the registered voters in the county had moved and/or registered in another county or state. That’s a very large number of INELIGIBLE VOTERS on the rolls in that county and who’s to say if people are double voting? How would anyone know? In addition, she also found a voter with double registration – another thing that was supposed to be in the purged data according to our Governor and the SEB. Again, without real data on the purge – which we’re not given – Oklahoma citizens are unable to examine these issues for themselves. THAT is a problem.

Is Everyone Listed On The Oklahoma Voter Rolls A Qualified Elector

On Friday, October 11th, Michael and Jenni had their friend Amber Evans from Comanche County, Oklahoma, on to talk about her examination of Comanche County voter rolls in the face of new information from the Oklahoma Election Board that the Oklahoma 2024 primary elections were 100% accurate. Since the 2020 election, Amber has taught herself about elections in Oklahoma and has been using the information she's learned, to examine Oklahoma's voter rolls. After the State Election Board gave its audit report for the Oklahoma primary elections, Amber looked at the number of people on the voter rolls in Comanche County who couldn't - according to state law in Title 26 - be considered 'qualified electors'. There were a large number - a large enough number to throw an election. This is concerning. Not only that, but when Jenni went back to look at the primary audit report released in August, there were NUMEROUS questions about the transparency of the data provided to the public and released through the Governor's office. That information can be found in a blog on the topic here on our website: https://rope2.org/2024/10/12/is-everyone-listed-on-oklahoma-voter-rolls-a-qualified-elector/ We simply can't be taking the SEB's word on the accuracy of our elections with so many unanswered questions existing for Oklahoma's voter rolls.

What Happens When ALPRs Are Used Unlawfully By Law Enforcement In Oklahoma?

Wedesday, October 9th - though we were supposed to have guest Julianne Romanello (we lost her to sick kids :-() - Michael and Jenni invited PikeOffOTA's Whitney Mullica to talk about an Interim study by Representative Tom Gann, "Track and Tax, Surveillance Cameras and Warrantless Searches", given to the State Powers Committee, Tuesday, October 15th. 

In this clip, Michael, Whitney and Jenni go over the traffic stop that was played for the State Powers Committee during the Interim study. The clip shows a Texas man being pulled over in Oklahoma for dubious reasons (during the study, Representative Gann said that the officer tells another officer that he didn't in fact pull the guy over for going over the white line, but because his tail pipe was hanging down...) by an Oklahoma law enforcement agent. 

The officer then spends time confronting the Texas resident - now seated in the back of the cruiser - with his comings and goings in Oklahoma, captured by the ALPR affixed to the front of his vehicle. According to Oklahoma law, SB359, automatic license plate readers are allowed to determine whether or not Oklahoma citizens have mandatory auto insurance. 

There are no other authorized use for this software in Oklahoma, yet the data is captured and sent to many places and agencies outside Oklahoma after which Oklahoma has no control over that data. 

In this clip, we talk about what happened to the Texas man and how no citizen should be treated this way by a law enforcement officer - especially while using a camera and software that only have ONE AUTHORIZED USE IN OKLAHOMA. 

Watch this video and see how you would react in this poor Texas resident's place. It is quite unnerving.

Why Does Oklahoma Have Compulsory Insurance Laws?

Wedesday, October 9th - though we were supposed to have guest Julianne Romanello (we lost her to sick kids :-() - Michael and Jenni invited PikeOffOTA's Whitney Mullica to talk about an Interim study by Representative Tom Gann, "Track and Tax, Surveillance Cameras and Warrantless Searches", given to the State Powers Committee, Tuesday, October 15th. 

Though none of us were able to be there in person, we all watched the video of the 2+hour study, online and gathered to discuss it. 

This was truly a powerful study that informed the Oklahoma public that it was being spied upon by the software that accompanies Automatic License Plate Readers being utilized by Oklahoma's law enforcement agencies - solely ONLY ALLOWED to 'police' the state's mandatory compulsory car insurance law. In this video, we discuss why we have a law that mandates Oklahomans get car insurance. 

How does that promote individual liberty? 

Well, it doesn't. Listen as we flesh that out.
