If you have money and wealth, you can easily get more money and be healthy and wealthier.

If you do not have money and wealth, you can get sick and starve.

The stockmarket does not care for the stakeholders in the American dream, just the stock holders.

This is where I am today.
State Question 836 is to open primaries in OKLA to try to improve voter turnout in the state with the lowest voter turn out

Better turnout also needs Better messages to help folks know how to vote their best interest

Please keep up your advocacy.

The Oklahoma GOP has a booth at the #TulsaStateFair and they seem to be putting into action the results of the education system they have funded

Sept 14, 1935 The Nuremberg Laws were enacted depriving German Jews of their citizenship. Does this sound familiar?

Did you lose one.

2 weeks of good fall growing weather coming up, picked last cantaloupe, two more butternut on the vine, lots of Anaheim and jalapeño to pick along with a lot of tomatoes.
Broccoli, spinach, lettuce. Radishes, kolhrabi, peas and beans in the ground.
I am watering myself (with a beer) on the patio

#Fifi came to visit Tulsa this weekend.

If you want to know about some of the greatest generation visit a commemorative Air Force show and tour one of these aircraft

Trump, today's GOP and every MAGA beliver dishonors all their sacrifices.

I have been watching this #hummingbird all morning in my #garden.

During the rain he's made half a dozen or so trips to the feeder

Brings a smile on a grey day

2.5 inches in three hours in the garden - still raining

And rain in forecast for three days

Rivers and lakes are full

Good morning from the garden

My days start like this

Then I catch up on the chaos

What a flaming mess

My Dad.

Served America so we could live a good life.

Did not tolerate fools.

Would be appalled at the America we live in today.

Miss him deeply, hope to live up to his example.

It's been a little bit wet in #Tulsa this weekend

Something to consider as Trump wants a military parade. If this lone man can step up in China, what could we do here.

Did Fox put the stock ticker back on screen? Wonder how the "R's" will spin this? Oh wait, recession starts with an "R" so they must be okay with this.

Wonder how much Hannity and the others have lost? Not that they seem to care
