@velmacatherine @TACticalFuss Matters to me, I’m sooner born and bred. Though, we are fighting an enemy of delusion and deceit. Many have no discernible abilities to think without being fed by social media or what’s popular. I still have faith but realize this avenue on X is truly??

[Laura Ashford @Hopeful7477]

Please respond to those who are claiming you used this situation to get help your financial mess. You have to realize it does not look good. A lot of OK MAGA and faith based people went all in to support your campaign

[Jake Merrick @JakeMerrick4Gov]

Wow! What a year! This has been!
We have, without a doubt, been stretched in so many ways, but our faith and strength has compounded.
After driving around 100K miles to 77 counties, running 386 miles down route 66, speaking at almost 300 events, and meeting thousands of Oklahomans, we took a couple of days off to recharge, refocus and pray about the next season. And we are excited about what's to come!

As it goes in politics, there are endless rumors, speculations, and just blatant lies. I'm pretty immune to them by now. People are going to talk - especially on X - but few talk directly to me. Those who reach out for clarity, usually get a pretty quick answer straight from me. Those who don't reach out, never wanted clarity to begin with. They like the drama. Personally, I try to minimize it.

Let me clarify a few things.
No, I haven't made any back room deals.
No, I didn't start a Go Fund Me to pay off my mortgage (nor did I have anything to do it).
No, I wasn't recruited to split the vote.
No, I haven't endorsed anyone yet.
No, Oklahoma isn't doomed.

Yes, I'm staying in the fight.
Yes, I will be working across the state on critical cultural reform - those things government can't do.
Yes, Oklahoma's best days are ahead.

[Laura Ashford @Hopeful7477]

It’s rural, working class Oklahomans who are seeing the socialism that has taken over OKC, Tulsa and Norman.
It’s scary as heck!

What SQ 832 Really Revealed About Oklahoma: A Geographic and Demographic Divide

State Question 832 may have been about raising the minimum wage, but the election results revealed something much bigger: a clear geographic and demographic divide across Oklahoma.

The Results

• No: 348,914 votes (55.4%)

• Yes: 281,171 votes (44.6%)

• Total reported: ~630,085 votes

The proposal would have gradually increased Oklahoma’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 per hour by 2029 while eliminating several worker exemptions. Voters rejected it statewide.

The Geographic Story

The county map tells the story immediately.

Most of rural Oklahoma voted overwhelmingly No. Large portions of western Oklahoma, the Panhandle, and many southern and eastern rural counties rejected the measure by significant margins.

Meanwhile, support for Yes was concentrated primarily in Oklahoma’s largest population centers:

• Oklahoma County (Oklahoma City metro)

• Tulsa County (Tulsa metro)

• A handful of surrounding suburban counties

This created a familiar Oklahoma political map: population centers voting one way while most of the landmass voted another.

The measure won where population density is highest and where housing costs, rent, and service-sector employment tend to be more significant factors in daily life.

It lost across much of the state where agriculture, energy, manufacturing, and small business concerns play a larger economic role.

The Demographic Divide

The vote also reflected different economic realities.

Urban voters were more likely to include:

• Service industry workers

• Younger workers

• Renters

• College students

• Lower-wage hourly employees

For many of these voters, the minimum wage debate was tied directly to affordability, housing costs, groceries, and everyday expenses.

Rural voters often faced a different calculation.

Many communities are built around:

• Small businesses

• Family-owned operations

• Agriculture

• Ranching

• Energy-related industries

Opponents argued that higher labor costs could place additional pressure on employers already operating with thin margins.

The result was not simply Republican versus Democrat.

It was largely urban versus rural and different economic realities versus one another.

What It Means

SQ 832 energized voters in Oklahoma City and Tulsa but could not overcome opposition across the rest of the state.

The results suggest that Oklahoma remains deeply divided on economic policy based on where people live, how they work, and what challenges they face daily.

The map wasn’t just a vote on wages.

It was a snapshot of two different Oklahomas.

What do you think? Was SQ 832 rejected because of concerns about small businesses and agriculture, or because voters simply felt $15 an hour was too much, too fast?

What every true MAGA Oklahoman knew about Drummond. But again got outwitted by the Democrat’sshenanigans of switching parties to vote. Also, turnout was absolutely embarrassing. If you stayed home, didn’t vote. Shame on you! Seems we never learn.

Oklahoma MAGA is struggling. @WarlordDilley gives great insight and words of encouragement and where we need to focus our energy and attention quickly to take advantage of this historic opportunity God is giving.

[Brenden Dilley @WarlordDilley]

They still believe they can separate you from Trump.

It starts with attempting to sew doubt in your mind about his decision making, and intentions.

Foundationally, if they can get you to entertain the idea that President Trump is "betraying the American people," they can then begin the work of shaming you for still supporting him by calling you "naive and in a cult."

This psychological formula isn't organic or naturally occurring. Shame is hands down the most weaponized method of mass mind control we've seen intelligence agencies around the world, use for decades.

Essentially, you do all of the above while simultaneously flooding media with pundits and social media experts all carrying similar messages of feeling betrayed and angry. When you do this enough, on a large enough scale, people begin to think they're the weird ones for still supporting President Trump and second guessing their own discernment and logic.

These tactics are nefarious, wildly effective and tried and true. By the time you figure out you've been manipulated, you've already crashed out, said something stupid publicly, or even worse, taken actionable steps to do something dangerous or illegal (see latest FBI case regarding an attack on the UFC 250 event).

Solution?

God, community, and a winning mindset.

When you pray daily, and ask for clarity and discernment, you give God the authority to assist you in seeing light from dark, true from false, good from evil.

Community is even more important as now that you've thwarted the psyop, you then surround yourself with like-minded, spiritually in tune, patriotic and loyal people. No longer feeling isolated, and shamed, you can lean on one another to walk through the darkness together.

The winning mindset is that you trust your own judgment, you trust God's guidance, and also trust that the community you've built is rational enough to see past any psyop, lie or agenda.

Never let them separate you from God, community and self-respect. In doing so you become impervious to the attempts at separating you from the President, and his vision for Making America Great Again.

[Laura Ashford @Hopeful7477]

I couldn’t be more disgusted with my true MAGA Oklahoma Republicans. It’s because we ignore the fact we have been infiltrated by Democrats who use the system and run as Republicans. Get people to switch parties to vote as Rep, but vote in Dems. WAKE UP folks.

[Marcie Everhart for U.S. Congress @EverhartMarcie]

I’ve never been in a position to have to make a gracious concession speech before. How does one do it?

Well apparently, you’re supposed to use the phrase “Although we didn’t get the result we wanted…” That’s the official script everyone is using, lol. Rather mild for the emotions spiking inside you.

This is the real gamut of your thoughts:

How can the world be so stupid? Well, 530 people voted for a dead guy over in State Senate 38. Imagine if he’d won.

WHO are these 530 people? Did they drive themselves to the voting booth? Do you realize most races at the state house and senate level were decided with less than 500 votes? Many of my new friends who are ordinary, good people who just want to serve their community and fix a few problems were defeated with 100,000s of dollars in dark money attacks – by a handful of votes.

How can the world be so evil? The candidates who told outrageous lies advanced. The candidate who bought a second house in district to make a carpetbagger run advanced. The gubernatorial guy who was booed at every event I attended and had no yard signs in the entirety of CD4 advanced. The sexting pastor advanced. The creepy, misogynistic rancher advanced. The old commissioner with dementia advanced. The decrepit lifelong incumbents advanced.

Incredible.

How can the world be so lazy? Oklahoma’s low voter turnout numbers are splashed all over media today. Oklahoma has 2.4M registered Rs… roughly 2M stayed home. At one point I planned to approach all the churches in CD4 to do my presentation on federal corruption on a weeknight. I seem to remember less than 40% Christians vote/ less than 40% gun-owners vote? Or something like that. I meant to outreach, but hey, this mostly one-woman show (til the end) was stretched very thin.

I pulled 29% of the vote against the second-most powerful Republican Congressman in Washington D.C. With $3100. That’s 14 cents spent per vote (21,393). He spent $2,800,000 to get 52,694 votes, spending $53.14 for each vote. He outspent me by almost ONE THOUSAND times. Well, that doesn’t include the dark money he marshaled that fueled the early TV and some mailers. Who knows how much and where (which NGO) that came from.

The Positives: I pulled more than the Trump-endorsed beleaguered pastor over in CD1, who did advance technically. I got more votes than both the D primary candidates in CD4 who received 15K and 18K. And I got more than Paul Bondar did two years ago (16K) who spent more than FIVE MILLION of his own money.

Does my result represent hope? Maybe.

In the final analysis, our country can’t keep going the way it is. When the economy caves in under the weight of the inflationary spending and debt, and more people learn about the staggering amount of corruption driving it, I see meaningless war in the streets. Ds and Rs facing off, as if a Uni-party Establishment isn’t responsible. Only when the people realize the bread is stale and the circuses are boring...

The other factor we don't talk about? The Swamp will eventually die off. The Coles, Pelosis, McConnells, Schumers will pass on to their heavenly reward and have to leave behind all the ill-gotten earthly ones. And then, perhaps we can sneak into office a normal human being. Otherwise, I’m beginning to understand only God is powerful enough to take ‘em out.

[Laura Ashford @Hopeful7477]

@MinerBob00 Thank you, Bob. You’ve been a great leader and a great motivator. Yes we have a lot of work to be done. Unfortunately, it’s difficult when you’re fighting against the Democrats infiltrating the Republican Party during primaries. Somehow, that just doesn’t seem right.

@SecVetAffairs VA silent and slow to care for ones exposed at Joint Base Balad (also known as Balad Air Base or Camp Anaconda in Iraq. It is the most notorious and widely documented U.S. military base associated with large-scale burn pits that caused health issues for service members.

@WarlordDilley @Shovelmouth365 Both my sons served in Iraq. Younger served at Joint Air Base Balad.

Unconscionable.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES! Jim Jordan just hammered ActBlue with question after question about alleged foreign donations and fraud controls.
And what happened?
Question after question was met with the same response:
“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights.”
Jordan asked about alleged foreign contributions, fraud detection, internal standards, and reports involving the organization’s legal team.
No answers.
Just the Fifth.
When an organization at the center of America’s political fundraising system refuses to answer basic questions, people are going to demand transparency.
The more questions that go unanswered, the bigger this story gets. 🔥
