OooOoOOhhh... so now trump is making it a law to have bibles in schools! and he is obviously pushing everyone to buy HIS bibles! damn... that scam is gonna be HUGE!
MAGA uses "Christianity" as a prop i.e. why Trump held it upside down and sells Bibles. It's White Nationalism, the old White Supremacy, not true Christianity. Unfortunately, in most of our Oklahoma churches MAGA politics holds the pulpit and the Bible easily is a cherry-picked prop there.
Oklahoma is last in just about everything! If I were an Oklahoma taxpayer, I’d be furious he was spending taxpayer money on those sh*tty, made in China, bibles! Give that money to teachers to use!
Me, too. My God is a God of Choice, not a mandate. My God's kingdom is NOT of America. He is not a White Nationalist. John 18:36 Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But know my kingdom is from another place.”
White Supremacy became Christian Nationalism to deceive Christians into believing they practice Christianity. They do not. Please call them "WHITE Nationalists." Real Christians need help to escape the hijacking!!! Our numbers are dwindling as White Nationalism grows in OK churches.
Hope she is in a school refusing the video. An option is to call then follow up writing a letter to your school administrator telling them you do not want your daughter hearing this video. Keep a copy of the letter. Walking out of class can put her in a position to be disciplined.
Also it’s quite interesting that he isn’t implementing tariffs on religious materials (specifically bibles) from China (where his bibles are printed) and can basically force the government to buy these new necessities at any price he chooses..
When did he start this back up again? He had a lawsuit against him, and after the election, he dropped the bid. He was the one who told or suggested to Trump to dismantle the dept of education. He's hoping for "Trump Education Advisory Committee," which he would ofc oversee & make policy changes.
Yes, about 2/3 can read by third grade. About .05% in Garfield County, OK don't know how to use a ruler by freshman year of high school. Nor tie their shoes. Not because of an intellectual disability. Because they weren't exposed to either.
The good news is, Mark Wayne Mullin hates Gaetz. Mullin will NOT vote yes for a Gaetz confirmation. Was Mullin the first person to out Gaetz as showing porn on the House floor?
Four years of hoping and praying for ineffectual infighting, gross incompetence, and the occasional flareup of actual morals/ethics is gonna be draining.
2 years for house and senate, if we get really lucky.
I hate having to pray that my government is useless, but here we are.
Yet they voted for him and here we are. If we keep looking down on people at the bottom, they're never going to join us. If we hear them and give them what they need to lift up, then we can stop electing Trumps.
Come back up north and bring a whole bunch of blue Southerners with you. We need to start doing that. We need to start having town hall meetings in person.
After 14 years in south FL, we are home in MA and are so happy to be back that we don’t even notice the winter (2 so far and not much to shovel). Come home!
I would go home tomorrow , my husband loves it here . My kids and granddaughters are all up North . I moved here after owning the home for a vacation spot , and after having multiple back surgeries . The winter kills me . I wish I was a snow bird to be honest . Hopefully soon .
Well if you ever consider somewhere outside of the US, I’d highly recommend you look into the Mediterranean. You can expect quite mild winters, lots of sun, excellent food coupled with a high life expectancy, universal healthcare and zele moronic Christian Taliban Maga cult followers.
Well MA has warmed up a lot. Now there’s not a lot of snow these days. And when there is, it doesn’t even stick around for very long. I imagine pretty soon MA is going to be the new FL.
I know I moved to Florida in 2018 since then they have had such mild winters . I go home at least 4x a year . October , March , June , then again end of August .
That’s very sad. I remember President Biden mentioning the red states were the ones that were needing the most assistance. The red states are pretty tunnel visioned and ignorant
And apparently Oklahoma doesn't think it needs the $1.5 Billion in financial support for schools. That could happen if Trump gets his way and eliminates the Education Department (they give out the grants).
🤦♀️ so embarrassing to be from RussQlahoma or Oklafucklahoma....whichever you prefer. Unfortunately, America voted to be us. Oklafucklahoma also has the least voter participation in the country and ranks 1st in despair. Wonder why.
Our Mr Pro Shady Businessman Governor couldn't bring em back either. He lost more. Michelin gone. Dollar Tree hub gone. CANOO a complete bust. VW Tesla and Panasonic were all like nah. No thanks. They can't run a business, but people thought hey they can the govt. Into the ground.
And considering the state of their education level, most of them won't be able to read it, and even if they can put the words together...unable to comprehend, it will be used at a door stop at best.
And don’t forget blaming leftists indoctrination and leftist discrimination against Christians on the reasons for it. 🤔 I guess he forgot that Republicans control every single aspect of Oklahoma and have for a very long time.
Making it flyover country will ensure that won’t change. Then when you least expect it- flyover states create legal precedents that affect blue states as well
The craziest part of that is this was made possible because “The Supreme Court's rulings in Carson and Kennedy lead "us to a place where separation of church and state becomes a constitutional violation."”
And they also don’t realize if the orange clown gets rid of Dept of Education & no longer get federal funds their states & local governments will have to pay for education. Their taxes will still go up & the quality of education will probably go down because they will not offer all the federal funds
I understand the point of this, however it’s a misleading use of data. Correlation is not causation here. I have a feeling there are other variables at play.
Yep! I am originally from Massachusetts. My education was excellent, went on to receive an
AS in Early Childhood Education, transfered to a four yr college, received four BA, Special Education, Psychology, and Music. And after my divorce I went back for my MA in English/Creative Writing.
I don't think there is a problem with putting Bibles in schools...I don't believe any books should be banned...the problem with Bibles & other books in school occurs when any so-called official seeks to force people to practice what they read in those books.
Yeah I'll fill the streets with blood long before I leave so some fuckup MAGA types can have this country. You'd destroy it within a decade and be begging us to come back and help you- and I'd close the door in your face.
I’ve been advocating for this for a while now. Unfortunately, Canada seems to be headed towards a Conservative majority next year, so I would be ok with just this.
Coverage by whom, exactly? Because even if all of the expected, reliable news outlets cover it, the right wing propagandasphere won’t touch it unless they’re forced to.
We are seeing this all over the world. Poor people vote for the far right.
Those of us who are better off shouldn't get smug about this. It really doesn't help.
So today...yall gonna learn.
We tried to warn yall but ya didn't listen.
Dems at the national level ceded Oklahoma and the entire region to Republicans 12 years ago. We didn't matter.
Now yall dunking on us.
So congrats yore ALL citizens of the country of Oklahoma now.
Golf clapp....
You guys helped get Trump elected… no criticism of the Dems, not holding any Dems accountable but great at covering Trump.
Hmmmm, how do make their money 💰? promulgating fear and only talking about Trump while licking the Dems boots. That kinda of stuff helped get Trump elected.
Oklahoma is red in every timeline :( people from other states keep moving here making it more red. I want to leave but this is my home, I shouldn’t have to be the one who leaves :( it’s rough over here y’all.
Living in Oklahoma is no easy feat. Thankfully my children are all grown and out of school (two college grads) but did receive quality education having VERY diligent parents.
College football stadiums are today’s equivalent of the Coliseum. The billionaire throws murder shows for his subjects so they think they’re on the same side.
Your info is out-of-date. Lincoln Riley is no longer at the University of Oklahoma. He's been at USC since 2022 so he makes an obscene amount of money there instead.
Michael Green died in 2023. The highest paid public employee is Francisco Martin, UMass Head Basketball Coach.
And don't forget the average salary.
Because yes, Boston is going to be more expensive than rural bumfuck middle of nowhere Oklahoma. But they also get paid way more.
The minimum wage in OK is $7.25 and has a higher poverty rate than MA. Minimum wage is $15 in MA. MA also offers free community college to all residents to help obtain degrees and higher salaries.
Higher GDP equals higher cost, best strategy would be to go to high GDP state start a business then move to a poverty stricken place and run it from there
Their version of Christianity is mangled beyond recognition. "Judge not lest thou be judged" "Love thine enemy" "Turn the other cheek" Fail, fail, fail.
Red states like Ok are examples of the gop plan for the rest of us. Keep our kids as dumb as possible wo much in the way of critical thinking. Teach obedience. Limit science literature anything that fosters thought. Grow up to do menial jobs grateful for a trickle hating anyone who seems smart.
Guess what? It's worse in Baja Oklahoma aka Texas. Higher percentage of people in poverty in TX. And yes, Walters is crazy. He didn't let loose on just how nuts until he won the election.
The trump administration doesn't care, they just wanna indoctrinate the kids "before the transes do it". It's very ironic as these people always tell LGBT people to leave the children alone.
18. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book (the bible), If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.
Bibles maybe could help, if they weren't the product of a vile racist rapist insurrectionist with thirty-four felony convictions. These books are tainted from the outset by dirty, lying, little bloody hands.

I found out recently that he sells the MAGA Bible for $59.99, or $1000 for a signed copy, has a total production cost of ~ $3. Oh yeah, and it's made in China, much like Ivanka's clothing line was/is.
If this is accurate, I wonder if a tariff exemption will be available for the work of the Messiah
I believe a lot of people looked back to his first-term with rose-tinted glasses. Yeah, for the first three years he was riding Obama's six years of better and better metrics, considering the dumpster fire he inherited in 2008. And tens of millions of the deplorables guzzling down the fox propaganda
I have friends who are both intelligent and educated, mostly all for various reasons - they always vote GOP and held their noses voting for that sewer rat, tax & business purposes, evangelical gullibility/self-righteousness, and those are all I know about although I know I have quietly bigoted pals.
Yes, I heard. They have nothing better to do than push religion in the public schools. Have we found out if those are Trump bibles. Nothing says religion more that a grifter selling God’s word. SMH!
TN here. My governor says he can't wait to get rid of the DOE. He can't wait to get his hands on ock grant funding, and I don't doubt some of it will go on those ridiculous Trump bibles. Expect many of his friends will become "education consultants."
I think at our core, we all know Trump is not a Jesus follower. It’s almost hysterical that he’s been forced to try and act the part so people could use it as an excuse to vote for him.
This is an area where liberals should stand strong. Jesus was the ultimate liberal. Many words from Jesus about loving your neighbor, not so much about hating immigrants and trans ppl. Jesus also didnt have many nice words for rich folks either. Pretty much said they are all going to hell.
I consider Oklahoma’s schools in shambles. My daughter started in 3rd grade and graduated. But she graduated TWO years ahead. Not bc is smarter than anyone but bc other states are that far ahead.
Hey, three bad brothers. Barbara Lemons here. Lots of blue dots here, but most of us are the working poor. Local Oklahoma news has Walters on a rotisserie. Heard a rumor that those flagrant literary violations of church and state have an incomplete version of the Amendments. True?
The State Superintendent’s RFP specified that the Bible contain items included ONLY in the Trump bible (Declaration, Constitution, etc.). State Purchasing (OMES) kicked it back, saying to buy all those things separately, and for less. Superintendent: “Never mind.”
The Old Testament is about worshipping a demon. “Ye shall know them by their fruits” Jews and so called Christians worship the devil, to use their lingo. They do the “devil’s” work. Isn’t it obvious?
I remember eons ago when Foxborough and Walpole were fighting against Michael Jackson ("...but he's black!) playing the stadium. So yeah, redneck pockets nothing new.
I live in central MA, and without the city of Worcester, our country would have been red. Most of the MAGA followers here are low or middle class. Steven Kenneth Bonnell II (Destiny on YT) best describes these folks as “Middle class people who want to be rich people, larping as poor people”
Thank you for the clarification but I feel like I’m swimming against the tide in my area. No surprise that we have a lack of higher education citizens here in the SoCo of the state.
I have pockets of Trump won people here. I'm in West Springfield. Picture is Westfield yesterday. They bitch about grocery prices but drive 60k trucks and can buy all this Trump crap.
Yep. I’m in Fall River in the Southcoast and it is just crazy dumb here. People just want to be angry and want to belong so maga works perfectly here. I can post election, I’m hearing there is a Trump rally at a local Olive Garden today!! 😂 Can’t make this shit up!!!
Ugh my county was uncomfortably close. It’s because of Sheriff Hodgson. He ran unopposed for 2 decades. Finally had a challenger in 2022 and we booted him. Now all he does is go around campaigning for trump. Gaah 🤦🏻♀️
That's what it's all about for the few magas that have power, they get in on the gift and the poor morons are gullible enough to give them the little money they have. It's really quite sad
He’s horrible.
Believe me it was my pleasure!
Thankful Paul Heroux had the 🥜 to run against him. And hopefully it’s the last we see of Hodgson in any elected position here 🤞
It's Political Amnesia. Americans have forgotten about 2017-2020. They will vote blue next election because he'll fuck everything up again. Democrats will fix it and they vote GOP. ON AND ON we go
I’m sad that I grew up in Oklahoma. But I’m just as sad that I live in Florida now. Both my sons were born in Massachusetts. We should have stayed there.
I wonder if some of this is that people in bad economic shape (and therefore with less access to higher education) are voting for change, even bat-$h!t crazy change
I've been to both states. They both suck. But just out of curiosity, how many of those educated folks in Mass. know how to repair a combine & how many of those folks in Mass. own their own home as opposed to Oklahoma? Plus quality of life is BS. Mass is too damned cold & too many laws and ordinances
I'd say quite a few since we have farms here, not to mention lots of diesel mechanics, plane mechanics (my brother in law) etc. We even have military. All states have varying numbers of these jobs as well as engineers, medical professionals, etc. just different concentrations, that's all💕💕
I wondered about it. I wonder too, how many people in MA have to rent out portions of their homes just to make the house payments? It's like that in Kansas City, Nashville, and maybe all of California. At this point, there is no county in the US that has rent that can be afforded on minimum wage.
Educators don't tend to insist on the insertion of bibles into their classrooms, unless they have a religious agenda.
Big difference between Christian & those proclaiming to be Evangelical. Operative word here is evangelical, forcing their beliefs down others throats, like it or not.
Those dogs are the symbol used by NAFO OFAN (The North Atlantic Fella Organization), who help counter Russian propaganda in relations to the war in Ukraine. Please do not use them for this. https://nafo-ofan.org
Who's gonna be able to read them in the 49th worst in education State? Maybe they should concentrate on the basics first. Let Sunday school take care of the religion.
Spoiler alert, Republican Jesus doesn't care about them, just like they don't care about anyone else. Republican Jesus can do whatever the fuck he wants, so they think they can too, all those rules, & fire & brimstone are for the libs.🙄
I grew up in Oklahoma when it was a decent, prosperous, tolerant place to be. Now it’s just sad. I’m in Texas which is moderately better but until we get a new governor and Lt. Governor and mostly get our smarmy little criminal AG gone it’ll be much better!
Oklahoman here; NO ONE wants these bibles in the classroom. State Republicans have les the charge to get Walters out of office. We don’t like him, either. Oklahomans aren’t ignorant, like the rest of the country, we are held hostage by a few village idiots that always seem to skirt the law.
…and racism. Heavy on the entitlement & racism. Honestly, if you study Oklahoma politics it’s not much different than what is happening to our country at large. Okc & Tulsa are quite progressive and liberal. If you go back a decade to Gov. Henry you can watch the decline, which should be a warning.
I live in OK & no republicans have led the charge to get him out of office. They have the majority & have done nothing & continue to do nothing. Mark McBride is the only one & he’s termed out.
First, this is a pretty unknown source. Second, you said they’re leading the charge - um no they’re not. Third, they have the ability today to remove him & they won’t. Rs care nothing about OK or wouldn’t be 49th in education & everything else.
Nah, it's just the one idiot in office that thinks it's a good idea. And he's only doing it to get Trumps attention so he can get a job in his administration
Unfortunately, we have straight party voting here. People do no research & if you have an R by your name you’re almost guaranteed to win. I know a lot of Rs that didn’t vote for Walters but plenty did even the well-educated ones.
That’s not fair to call someone a dumbass for living in OK.
Massachusetts, born, raised, & live.
I consider myself lucky.
Not everyone can be as lucky as we are, though I don’t mind trying to bring prosperity to LH he less prosperous states.
One country.
I'm laughing because you people from Oklahoma thinks it's not a bad thing that your state is 49th in education let that sit in.. and guess what I'm from Missouri we are 33rd
You know I left Twitter because people were so sensitive, I thought this would be better but I guess not and by the way You should be asking your state representative that question. Plus I'm laughing at the state not you unless you voted for the rapists and the Traitor
I'm not mad. Just pointing out your grammar error. I have read many articles. It's 500 bibles not thousands so I don't find this account to be reliable.
I've been through this a million times online. When you tell people not to make fun of you suddenly I'm too sensitive. Uh, I'm fine. How about offering solutions?
It was votes by COUNTY. No county in Mass. went to Trump. Of course there are going to be a few individual towns in Mass. that went to Trump. (I'm sure there must also be a few towns in OK that went to Harris.)
Not true, look at the map there were counties that went for Trump albeit not many of them. All I’m saying is the original image isn’t entirely true but the comparison. In ranking still holds
For whatever reason, I cannot find a breakdown in Oklahoma by city/town. County results ONLY wherever I look.
Oklahoma County went to Trump by only 1.7%. Seeing that she almost won the county, I've got to figure Oklahoma City went to Harris. But, just no breakdown at all by city/town.

Or could it?
Instead of helping people with food, housing, and healthcare Oklahoma is buying Bibles from Trump!
Disgusting!

To promote best interests of the governed or an idiology?
Very different outcomes.
For American Experiment to survive, Democracy must interest itself in providing better governance than promoting any idiology via culture wars.

I didn't study or take tests too seriously and got a 3.44 GPA and Salutatorian.
Did you know that at least 15 yrs ago they taught that slavery *wasn't* the biggest reason for the Civil War? (Spoiler: it actually was)
Guessing MA isn't burdened by nearly as high a number as OK.
Big difference between Christian & those proclaiming to be Evangelical. Operative word here is evangelical, forcing their beliefs down others throats, like it or not.

It’s almost as if I am also in Oklahoma and have read the news.
They also think they’re extremely important, and yet voted for and praise a man who’s broken probably 80% of them!
Also, go research how many elected OK Republicans have spoken out against Walters.
Massachusetts, born, raised, & live.
I consider myself lucky.
Not everyone can be as lucky as we are, though I don’t mind trying to bring prosperity to LH he less prosperous states.

Also US News and World Report lists Mass as #3 in education. (Florida is number one go figure? Not sure how that works)
