I’ve been covering politicians and elected officials for years and sometimes they are running behind. Thankfully, Cyndi Munson, the Democrat nominee for Oklahoma governor, didn’t make people wait hours. But even when she arrived a few minutes after 7 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 19, she was welcomed with a lot of applause. And I think sheContinue reading “Cyndi Munson Meets Tahlequah Area Residents”

Happy Indigenous People’s Day
Being a descendant from Cherokees who had to hide out in the Great Smoky Mountains and as a property owner in the Cherokee Nation, I want to wish each and everyone a Happy Indigenous People’s Day. It is not Columbus Day. I remember a time when this day was nothing. The schools where I grewContinue reading “Happy Indigenous People’s Day”
POTUS Tells Media To Go Blow While BoBo Shows She’s Just A Ho From Colorado
It’s shaping up to be one of the craziest years on record.

If you’re reading this, you’ve lost a parent or grandparent, friend or partner/spouse, teacher or mentor, or even a furbaby that meant a lot to you. It doesn’t matter. Mourning and grief hit us hard sometimes. Animals also endure it as well. Even though they say time heals all wounds, it doesn’t do a 100Continue reading “No One Owns The Monopoly On Mourning”
Who Are They Fooling?
I’m almost certain that if Sen. Lindsey Graham hadn’t died over the weekend, the office of Sen. Mitch McConnell wouldn’t have released a questionable photo of him and his wife (possible widow) Elaine Chao. Graham was the Republican Senator from South Carolina who was often controversial and more on that in another post. His peopleContinue reading “Who Are They Fooling?”
Dude, Where’s Mitch McConnell?
Today is July 5 and for anyone counting it’s been three exact weeks (21 days) since Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) was reportedly found unconscious and rushed to a hospital.
