the point Publisher The past two weeks have been crammed with much more news than a small newspaper can find space for. The passing of long time Oklahoma Senator James Mountain Inhofe was quickly overshadowed by the much predicted assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life at a public speaking in Pennsylvania.

Biden Withdraws WhiteHouse Staff / Newsmax The letter signed by President Joe Biden announcing he would be dropping out of the 2024 presidential race left both White House and his campaign aides stunned. Up until 1:46 p.m.

With members of Homeland Security Committee... Washington, D.C. — Last week, Congressman Josh Brecheen and several members of the House Homeland Security Committee participated in a bipartisan visit to Butler, Pa. — the site of the assassination attempt of President Trump.

Thank you State Representative Justin Humphrey of District 19. Indeed all Oklahomans should be proud of you and State Superintendent Ryan Walters for your work and efforts to return the Bible and Ten Commandments into the public schools; they should have never been removed. And as for the inimical behavior of the current leadership in the legislature, it demonstrates yet again the need for term limits at all levels of government. However, since the reality of establishing term limits may be decades away if ever accomplished, voters rightfully applaud the elected officials who work tirelessly to bring to fruition the needs of all Oklahomans and of those they represent.

“After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio. J.D. honorably served our country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association. J.D.’s book, “Hillbilly Elegy,” became a Major Best Seller and Movie, as it championed the hardworking men and women of our country. J.D. has had a very successful business career in technology and finance, and now, during the campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American workers and farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond….”

On Saturday, in the minutes after President Donald Trump was shot during a speech in Butler, Pa., entrepreneur Elon Musk announced that he was endorsing the former president in 2024. “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk posted on X, alongside a video of Trump in the immediate aftermath of the attempted assassination.

In J.D. Vance, Trump is going all in on populism — and elevating an heir apparent . . . Trump placed a bet on both the appeal of their shared populism and the promise of generational change — elevating a 39-year-old freshman senator from Ohio as the MAGA movement’s heir apparent. The selection will draw a contrast not only with the 81-year-old Biden, whose age has become a major point of weakness in his campaign, but also Vice President Kamala Harris, who — while young in Washington terms — is a full decade older than Vance. Vance brings Trump a lot: His youth, his TV savvy and his ability to tap into a Silicon Valley donor base that has, until recently, been wary of the Republican Party. But most important, Republicans say, are the connections they believe he can make with blue-collar voters in some of the most coveted swing states. ( Politico) Who is JD Vance? . . . Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, will run alongside former President Donald Trump in 2024 after being chosen as his vice presidential running mate on the Republican ticket. Vance, 39, was first elected to the Ohio Senate in the 2022 midterms, defeating Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan for the seat. Before entering the political scene, Vance joined the Marine Corps and served in the Iraq War. Shortly after, he graduated from Ohio State University and Yale Law School. Vance rose to prominence after publishing a bestselling memoir-turned Netflix film, titled “Hillbilly Elegy,” a book about American values and his Appalachian upbringing. ( Fox News )

It’s almost hard to believe with all the technological advances we witness around our world today, that one of our most important government agencies could fail as badly as our patchwork Secret Service did this past Saturday in Pennsylvania. It is commonly known in military circles and even in small hometown law-enforcement environs...
