Every state is a taker state.

That's just not true. The net balance is the difference in the amount they paid versus the amount they received.

Completely coincidental I’m sure, but what’s Oklahoma’s state education rank?

Political board response: Good job Okies! You set a good example for the rest of the nation.
SEC Rant response: and thanks for funding two safety schools (OU and OSU) for mediocre DFW kids.

Dealing with this now. My oldest is gonna be a senior and almost every family and kid we know in DFW is going to Arkansas, OU, or Tech.
They all said they didn't get in to A&M and Texas and some aren't even wasting the money applying. Haven't heard anyone get rejected from Arkansas or OU.

Oklahoma is the only State that had every single county vote Red. God bless Oklahoma
actually it’s far better than that never has Oklahoma elected a democrat at any level senate or house and every presidential race Oklahoma has voted republican. It’s why trump showed up in Tulsa during his race we was his first stop I believe .

Ft Sill is where Quanah Parker is buried as well... along with his mother Cynthia Ann who was kidnapped by the Comanche when she was a girl and became Comanche.
Quanah is buried right in the middle of the base. Geronimo is buried in the Apache cemetery.
As far as our politics. We believe the only place a Democrat belongs in the state of Oklahoma is on the football field or on the basketball court.

That is quite unbelievable. How is the crime in Oklahoma? I would think nil to none since no blue ran cities maybe?
It’s high per capita. But it’s well controlled. It doesn’t usually affect the general population. Primarily gang on gang crime, petty theft and that bitch Carol Baskins.
I had a buddy in law enforcement after college tell me some stuff. One of the local Latino gangs had crossed into some territory they knew they weren’t supposed to cross and robberies went up in a middle class neighborhood. The police fricking laid down the hammer of God on this group.
Swat went in and slaughtered like 1/8 of the gang in this drug raid and told them not to cross that line again.
