Suck it Sooners!

"The Swedish-language publication Fria Tider reported Tuesday that “in southern Sweden, it becomes quieter in the summer when the criminals go on holiday to their home countries, according to the police.”

Yes, you read that right: the people who commit most of the crimes in Sweden go on vacation to their countries of origin, and so their place of refuge becomes calmer and safer for the native population. Mats Karlsson, the head of intelligence for the police in the southern region of Sweden, explained: “Some of them, who originate in other countries, go there over the summer. Then we notice a big difference, a greater calm, in our vulnerable areas. In the second year when they are still in Sweden, they become messier.”

"Also, who is paying for these vacations, with migrants receiving “65 percent of social welfare expenditures”? Swedish taxpayers, obviously. But why?

The “foreign-born represent 53 percent of individuals with long prison sentences, 58 percent of the unemployed.” As if that weren’t enough, they receive “77 percent of Sweden’s child poverty is present in households with a foreign background, while 90 percent of suspects in public shootings have immigrant backgrounds.” What benefit does Sweden receive from importing a large criminal element?"

Maybe the swan song for Europe, I don't know. But that they continue to allow these 3rd world heathens into their "nest" is idiotic and self defeating. Germany, France and maybe the UK are all driving towards this outcome if not already there. How sad really. https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ peaceful muslims are massacring 100's of christian in Nigeria, do you hear anything in the news about this? How about fromt he UN? From the EU? None of them have anything to say.

The Oklahoman's Super 30: How Idabel's Matrail Lopez is representing father's legacy​

Scott Wright
The Oklahoman


IDABEL — One afternoon in mid-June, Sammy Lopez and his son, Matrail, were driving south on the secluded highways of eastern Oklahoma.

This particular trip followed the four-hour drive north from their home in Idabel to Stillwater, where Matrail participated in an invitation-only football camp at Oklahoma State.

Eight total hours of driving for Matrail to spend part of a day playing football with other elite recruits from around the region in front of OSU coaches.

“That was an impressive camp,” Sammy told The Oklahoman that day as he drove. “There were some dudes there, for sure.”

Sammy liked to joke that Idabel was “three hours from everything,” so that led to a lot of miles logged in the car, taking Matrail to games, practices, camps and tournaments.

Nine days after the OSU event, Sammy Lopez passed away unexpectedly at age 39, leaving an unfathomable hole in a family, a school and a community in the southeastern tip of Oklahoma.

“Sammy was a family man,” said Scott Pratt, who is the Idabel football coach and athletic director. “He was always gonna be present when his kids were involved. His family was very important to him.”



Committed to Oklahoma State, Matrail Lopez is ranked No. 14 on The Oklahoman’s Super 30 football recruit rankings for the 2025 class, and his athletic exploits — in multiple sports — are in many ways the product of his father’s commitment to helping his son chase his passions.

“Each sport helps you in some different way,” Sammy said. “Baseball, mentally, is a tough game. Basketball, the movements are similar to what defensive backs and receivers do.

“When he gets to college, (Matrail) may be a little bit behind some of the kids who specialized, but I think his ceiling’s higher because he hasn’t just focused on football all the time.”

Sammy coached the softball and baseball teams at Idabel. He was hired by Pratt, who two decades ago coached Sammy in high school at Broken Bow.

“Sam coached so many kids and had an impact on their lives,” Pratt said. “For me, personally, he was a co-worker, but more than that, Sam was a friend. I got to coach him. I got to hire him. He coached my kids in little league and he coached my son in baseball. Just an overall good dude. One of those guys who, if you needed something, he was gonna help you.”

In addition to maintaining a strong family focus on academics, Sammy and his wife, Karess, always encouraged their children to be active athletes, and Matrail is the ultimate example.

After a football season in which he earned multiple Division I scholarship offers, and a basketball season that saw him help Idabel to a state tournament appearance, Matrail settled into the spring with his first love, baseball.

Then a phone call came from the Idabel track coach.


“He called my mom and talked her into it, so she made me go out there,” Matrail said a few weeks ago, chuckling as he retold the story of how he ended up on the Warriors’ track team in the spring. “Once I got out there, it was fun to get out there and compete.”

Matrail’s track experience lasted just a few brief weeks, but he ran a leg of the 1,600-meter relay team that won its regional. Perhaps more impressively, Matrail qualified for state in the long jump, an event he had never attempted before joining the team.

He qualified with a jump one-quarter of an inch shy of 20 feet, despite limited practice opportunities since he was still playing baseball on a team that won its first regional championship in 27 years.

“My practice was the first jump of every meet,” Matrail said.

Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy is known for talking up football players who have a wrestling background. But the truth is, Gundy loves all players who were multi-sport athletes in high school, so it’s easy to see why Matrail is such a good fit at OSU, where he committed in February.

“His first love was baseball,” Sammy said of his son. “He was always good at football, but it really took off in high school and that’s when he transitioned over to liking it more than baseball.”

His football skill as a receiver has earned Matrail the scholarship offers and accolades that will carry him to the next level.

But his broad athletic focus benefits him on the football field, too.

Not every multi-sport athlete is as naturally gifted as Matrail, who seems to excel at whatever sport he attempts. He was the point guard for the basketball team, a pitcher and shortstop for the baseball team, and clearly has an innate ability that would help him excel in track and field if he pursued it.

And when he’s on the football field, Matrail isn’t a one-trick player, either.

In helping Idabel to an 11-1 record last season, he had 814 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns on 41 catches, then added 484 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 37 carries. He added three more touchdowns, one each on a kickoff return, punt return and interception return.


As a cornerback, he had 61 tackles, six passes defended and three interceptions, which is why a number of his early scholarship offers were for defense. But OSU’s Kasey Dunn saw potential on the offensive side of the ball.

“When he focuses on football, things are gonna slow down for him,” Pratt said of Matrail. “He’ll be able to lift all the time. They’ll put him on a nutrition plan so he can gain some weight and some strength. His body will be able to recover and he can focus on the finer techniques of the game of football.”

Being a multi-sport athlete, and taking those sports seriously, Matrail rarely has time to rest.

One weekend back in February, he had a basketball game in Tulsa — 200 miles from Idabel — on Friday night, played in a 7-on-7 football tournament on Saturday, also in Tulsa, and somehow squeezed in a trip to Stillwater for his campus visit at OSU.

With Sammy driving the car, of course.

“Sammy is looking down now and wants to see Matrail and all his kids do great things,” Pratt said. “Sammy put a stamp on those kids, with Karess right there, too, of working hard, being accountable and being competitive in everything you do.

“So he’s looking down with that big smile on his face and those kids are gonna do great things, on and off the field.”

Can you name the 12 bowl games that existed before 1980? No cheating (i.e. Googling)

While we’re doing bowl trivia, can you name the original (pre-1980) New Year’s day bowl games (there are 4).

Why 1980. Because it was after 1980 that you started to see a glut of bowl games with weird (non-fruit) names.

Rivals gave 3 of our players 4* rankings.

However, Rivals also indicates in the team ranking calculator that we have (0) 4* players. Can anyone explain this?

And see a young man ten years from now who will have the face of a hate-filled vengeful terrorist. And looking at the world as he will have experienced it who can blame him?

Apparently has been sitting in on policy meetings to “support” Joe

... OKC got Olympic events without trees, hills, submitting a bid, or culture.

I see now why you're jealous.

What a choice:

One guy who conservatives would vote for even if he is committed murder, or the other guy who liberals would vote for even if he was senile and could drop dead any day.

Unless you are a Democrat or related to a high ranking Democrat.

I think the answer is “yes.”

Anyone know someone who would diagnose and potentially repair a 2007 Pontiac Hard Top Convertible G6 that the top hydraulics won't work on? It is stuck in stow mode and can't even open deck to get to top and the hydraulics reservoir.

A viral photo identified as Biden’s speechwriting team explains so much​

A viral photo identified as Biden’s speechwriting team explains so much​

By Andrea Widburg

n November 1863, while traveling on a train from D.C. to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and experiencing the early stages of a mild case of smallpox, Abraham Lincoln handwrote the Gettysburg Address. Joe Biden is no Lincoln, and you can bet your bottom dollar that he’s not writing his own speeches. Instead, he has a staff that puts words into his mouth. That’s why a photo posted by the White House Director of Broadcast Media showing his communications staff goes a long way to defining the Biden White House.

I believe that Revolver News published the original viral tweet:

That is a fascinating photo. Because it’s so crowded, I broke it down by apparent race and gender (although, nowadays, one can never tell how people “identify”):



Of the 15 people crowded into that shot, I see five white women and three white men; three black women and one black man; one possibly Hispanic woman and one possibly Hispanic man; and one woman who might identify as Asian. All look to be near or under 30 years old.

The room looks exactly like a staff meeting at the Harvard Crimson or some other campus newspaper. Or perhaps it’s a staff meeting at SNL. In other words, it is a microcosm of the young left.

We know who these young people are. They’re college graduates with degrees in journalism, political science, communications, or some sort of “studies” (e.g., gender, womyn’s, etc.). They are committed to open borders, DEI, CRT, BLM, LGBTQ+, climate change madness, a government-controlled economy, Ukraine, socialized medicine, unlimited abortion, and “Free Palestine.” And the women are crazy. Yes, maybe that last sounds like a stretch, but we’ve seen what leftism does to women, and it’s not pretty.

The picture is such a painfully obvious stereotype that I assumed it was a fake. However, I’ve traced its origin, and it seems to be real.

The original image comes from the personal account of Muriel Chase:



As you can see, the image is dated March 7. As it happened, March 7 was Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, something that a speechwriting team would celebrate. So, who is Muriel Chase? She’s a “White House Special Assistant to the President and Director of Broadcast Media”:



The two people she tags in the tweet are also in the White House communications department. Jennifer Molina is the “Deputy Communications Director” and Erika Trombley is the “Director of Consumer Media.”






I’d say, then, that the image is real. These people are the ones putting words in Biden’s mouth. They are both foot soldiers and, at a guess, policymakers. I say the last because they are the living embodiment of the modern Democrat party: shiny pretty Marxists who are mostly cat ladies.

The image, of course, is going viral because everybody understands what they are seeing. These are the people in charge in America. It’s a terrifying thought:

I'm 100% certain know what my parents would have said if I would have listed any of those majors as my degree field. That these are even options is an affront to any serious person.

The UN sucks! There is no way the US should stay in this organization or let its office reside on US soil.

"If countries such as Nigeria at 71%, and Thailand at 75% are pleased about how the U.N. operates, this tells us more about the U.N., than about the individual countries."

That Russia and China are on the UN security council alone is the biggest reason to get the hell out of that worthless corrupt organization. Time to have an organization that coalesces around countries that have free and fair elections, anyone else can FO!

Oops! Of course it did!
