As someone who is a seasoned communications professional having worked for governors, members of multiple legislatures, and currently the Oklahoma Speaker, I have never put my hands on a member of the media. Not only that, but if you get tracked down after a presser, and you

That doesn’t happen because of the outside temp. It happens because of the temp of the water inside the bottle and then a “motion” of the bottle that shakes up the water that’s below freezing temp but hasn’t frozen yet. It’s called nucleation.
Say it with me: Don’t use the hours and days immediately following mass shooting events to push your political agenda.
It’s exhausting, frustrating and incredibly disrespectful to victims’ families to see both sides of the gun issue continue to do this.

For everyone who needs to hear it: just bc someone chooses to work, serve or participate in politics/government does not mean they are “signing up for” death threats, disgusting insults, & inhumane treatment. Disagree, but do it without being vile. You CAN be decent if you try.
Here’s your daily reminder that when you say something you shouldn’t, you don’t have to double down. It’s totally acceptable, and often very admirable, to say “I shouldn’t have said that” and move on. (We have all been guilty of this, but we should all strive to do better)
First, this post should have already come down. It’s insulting and very un-Republican. Second, it’s horrible to now (this screenshot was taken minutes ago) try and fundraise off of the post. As State Chair of the OK Young Republicans I strongly condemn this course of action.

Watching the OK Senate feed tonight is a bit like the end of The Truman Show where everyone was just sitting there watching the “no signal” screen. Nothing is happening, but you don’t want to turn away just in case it does.

Over the past 4 days, hundreds of Young Republicans from across the nation met in Dallas, TX, to elect new leadership for our national organization.

Muted mics will be the saving grace of this debate for President Trump. Love him, support him, but his interruptions of Joe Biden in 2020 hurt him. Muted mics in the first debate along with a statesmanly attitude saw him as the clear winner and the same should happen on 9/10.
I’m the only Republican that some of you know (or follow) and it shows. 😂😂 Don’t @ me every time someone with an R next to their name does or says something silly or ridiculous.

That does not add up to most of us who worked their way through college. You can either do 18 hours of college or 40 hours of work. You can't possibly do both. Do you want to tell us how much of her debt you're asking

If you were born biologically male, you should not be allowed to use public/shared female restrooms, and vice versa, regardless of “gender identity.” ESPECIALLY in schools. The fact that we have to spell this out, and that some people believe to the contrary, blows my mind.

Chad I’m not arguing with you. I agree it’s not a smart idea, and I don’t think it will happen, but that doesn’t mean it CAN’T. That’s my point. Can’t implies it’s prohibited and it isn’t, it’s just not a smart strategic move.

My thoughts on
#VirginiaElection2021
. Huge win for Republicans, complete rebuke of the Biden/Harris agenda and the beginning of massive momentum heading into 2022 if Republicans keep their foot on the gas pedal.
Texas and Florida are consistently in the top 5 of every list regarding new business investment, relocation, expansion, etc. Kind of blows the whole contrived “Oklahoma is too conservative and that’s why no one likes us” narrative out of the water.

Absolutely the most accurate soup to QB comparison ever made here.
Useful in certain scenarios when you can hide it behind other ingredients, but not something you want to eat regularly or know that it’s there.
Which begs the question, should we do other soup to QB
As husband to a wife who works extremely hard at her job, being a mom and keeping our house from chaos, I can tell you that maternity leave for her is anything but a “6 week paid vacation.”

Right, but it isn’t a constitutional prohibition. They CAN, they just automatically forfeit the electoral votes from that state. Reagan could have selected a VP from California and been fine, but W Bush couldn’t have selected a VP from Texas and won in 2000 without Florida.
