Over the past couple of weeks, the US cable news media – and the people who still watch them – have had their eyes, ears, and courtroom artists glued to the Trump trial in New York City.  Although I know the general summary, I really haven’t been paying close attention to the proceedings.

Over the past couple of weeks, the legitimate local media has been paying special attention to the mass exodus of employees who have fled and / or been catapulted out of the Oklahoma Department of Education by State School Premiere Ryan Walters and his gang of Texas gentlemen. According to a recent story by The "new and improved!" Oklahoman, over 130 people have departed the agency since Walters took over in 2023. During that same timeframe, only 33 people have been brought aboard. This includes Walters' communications chief, Dan Putzit. The post Stitt finally admits he and Walters want to des ..read more

Kevin and Keith Stitt continue to stretch the limits of a petty sibling rivalry. In a noble effort to both get out of a ticket and annoy his little brother, Keith Stitt – the fast-driving, hard-living, law-practicing older brother of Kevin – has been putting up a very successful McGirt-backed legal fight over a $250 speeding ticket he received in Tulsa three years ago.  The post The Fast and the Spurious: $250 Speeding Ticket Fuels Stitt Family Beef appeared first on The Lost Ogle ..read more

Here’s some cool news to report! Now that Oklahoma’s government is flush with ample cash, our once-crumbling infrastructure is finally up to 21st-century codes and standards, and businesses from all across the globe are salivating to move here, our fiscally-conservative, limited-government-focused lawmakers have finally decided to turn their attention towards other pressing needs. You know, like building a new $8-million prison rodeo arena in McAlester. The post Oklahoma Lawmakers Pony up $8-Million for New Prison Rodeo Arena appeared first on The Lost Ogle ..read more

Earlier this week, Oklahoma once again made national news for all the wrong reasons, when the media hyped some proposed Derplahoman legislation that would do things like ban birth control products like IUDs and Plan B and, even more dystopianly, create a database of women who have an abortion.  The aim of the legislation is to shame women, empower moralistic theocrats, and perhaps most importantly, let church leaders and politicians know which fertile women to arrest first when they implement their Handmaid’s Tale fantasy.

We’d like to give a big TLO “Attagirl” to Oklahoma attorney Cheryl Plaxico!  She’s doing an excellent job racking up billable hours on the Oklahoma taxpayers' dime in various lawsuits that, hopefully, the state has no chance of winning.  The post Stitt finds odd legal ally in controversial education lawsuits – former AG’s ex-wife! appeared first on The Lost Ogle ..read more

If at first you don’t succeed in indoctrinating people with your religion, try and try again! A decade or so after a 10 Commandments monument at the Oklahoma State Capitol was erected, crashed into with a car, and ultimately removed because it violated the Oklahoma Constitution, state lawmakers are ready to turn back the clock and work overtime to promote and honor ancient Christian mythologies outside the halls of government.  The post Oklahoma lawmakers, once again, push for a 10 Commandments monument at the Capitol… appeared first on The Lost Ogle ..read more

The Stitt Loyalty Grift is still paying off well for some rural Oklahoma Republicans!  Last week, Governor Stitt announced that Nellie Sanders will serve as his latest Oklahoma Secretary of Education. She replaces Katherine Curry, who resigned from the position after just three months upon learning that Ryan Langston-Walters is indeed a psycho.  The post Stitt appoints buddy’s wife as new Secretary of Education… appeared first on The Lost Ogle ..read more

I guess it’s time to start a GoFundMe to help cover Kevin Stitt’s kids' private school tuition payments! Earlier this week, after a marred and delayed launch courtesy of Oklahoma’s Top 10 for Dysfunction and Ineptitude State Government, the Stitt administration officially unveiled its private school voucher portal to help religious zealots, wealthy aristocrats and other people like our Governor who want to see public education fail, claim their big tax credits.  The post Stitt Laments Measly $147,000 Gubernatorial Salary… appeared first on The Lost Ogle ..read more
