Montage of clips of Trump “guaranteeing” that he will end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office, that “it wouldn’t even be tough” for him to do, and that “everyone will be happy” with the end result.

My wife and I did this after USC mangled OU in the Orange Bowl. Airport full of Trojans & came home to 2” of ice in OKC.
Zero stars.

If you haven't seen it, here's video of Sean Cummings giving State Senator Lisa Standridge – the author of the "What Would Jesus Not Do" Homeless Relocation Act – an award for being "The Worst Person in Oklahoma." Good stuff.

Health care, banking, employment opportunities in rural Oklahoma, especially Western Oklahoma are likely to become scarce in the next 10-15 years. I don’t see it changing.
The First National Bank and Trust Co. is closing a few locations in southwest Oklahoma as more customers switch to digital banking.
Although the physical locations will not be there, bank officials said the institution will still serve the areas.

I was sorry to hear of Andy Rubin’s passing. I followed his career at Thirty Tigers because we were both on the OU Daily staff in the early 1980s. Sharp guy who knew good music and the music industry

This Thanksgiving you need to say an extra Thanks to the immigrants who pick our fruits and vegetables. Enjoy that guacamole a little bit extra because honey, prices for an avocado are about to go way up! If you want a cheaper avocado we would have to import them from California.
