Has anyone heard that our crazy governor has put a travel ban to California.

No state money can be spent to travel to California. He says this is due to their stance on abortion. I assume that includes university travel where researchers travel to promote their research and get more money for that research. Great let's stop travel to Las Vegas and Louisiana due to the debauchery.

There was a deal in place that was supposed to autorenew and he wants to renegotiate it. That way he can balance the budget on the backs of the tribes without having to raise taxes. He has threatened to make gambling illegal in Oklahoma again. Does he have any idea how many people work for the casinos? How much money it brings in from people who come to Oklahoma to gamble? What a moron, just like the guy he idolizes in Washington.

Our foster care system is one of the worst in the US. Our schools are at the bottom of the US. Our healthcare and prenatal care are close to the bottom. Have them, but we won't take care of them once they are here.

It is a joke, you go to one of the "clinics" a doctor sees you and you walk out with mj. It is easier than it was getting it in college in the 70's. Of course a dime bag was a dime bag back then .

Medical cards were super easy to get. I used to go get mine and tell them I had insomnia. Funny thing was, it was actually true. Greatest insomnia cure ever, weed is. All you had to do was cough up the 100$ annual fee and you could somoke as much as you wanted.
