All sanctions do is hurt the people that can do nothing about the problems. Only when you spank the child's behind, will he quit his bad behavior. It’s the same with Putin. Air strike, at the very least on his forces near the Ukraine, or some other target that will cripple his country, and the message will be real. Care must be taken to not kill civilians, that w...
When it comes to the importance of agriculture in our state, I never tire of promoting the hard work of Oklahoma farmers and ranchers.

The Lazy KT Ranch in Freedom is the latest winner of the Oklahoma Leopo...
We’ve all had to be around them. Usually, everyone has one or more in the family tree – hopefully a good way away from your own particular branch. But even if you are fortunate enough to not be situated in close proximity to Cousin Crabby – you probably still get the blowback from the family members who have no choice but to be around him. And you can easily tell who those unlucky ones are, by the dazed, disgruntled, and depressed haze that occasionally surrounds them. Who are these peopl...

Consider them investors. They have invested time, planning and resources into the conservation of Oklahoma's soil and water. However, they are investing for the good of the earth rather than themselves.

A great example of this came as State Representative Carl Newton of District 58 in...
