New feature alert!
Here at TLO, there’s lots that runs across the newsdesk each week that, for whatever lazy excuse or reason, doesn’t get the full TLO treatment.
Instead of letting this waste away into eternal oblivion, we’re going to start sharing items in the weekly Friday Dumpster Fire – a subscribers-only collection of news stories, blind items, reader tips, and other things we’re monitoring, watching, or reading but didn’t (or haven’t) covered.
This first one is just going to be a collection of news links, but our goal is to make this more interactive. If you have something you’d like to throw on the fire, leave a comment or email us at tips@thelostogle.com.

Local Media Investigating Ryan Walters' Car Use
According to KFOR, it looks like Ryan Walters was either using a car registered to an assistant for personal use, or his assistant was spending a lot of time at Ryan Walters’s house. Nothing would surprise us. Either way, we’re trying to get our hands on the car records and should have a full TLO investigation soon.

Ryan Didn’t Really Care About the Charlie Kirk Thing
Remember a couple of months ago when our nation was arguing and bickering about what people were allowed to say following the death of Charlie Kirk? Ryan Walters vowed to investigate all schools and educators and go after anyone who dared say something non-praiseful about the fallen propagandist — and, naturally, those threats were false.

New Faith Wants Taxpayer Money for Religious Private School
Add the Jews to the ever-growing list of faiths that want to use Oklahoma taxpayer dollars to proselytize and indoctrinate students into their ancient religion. Like the Catholics’ quest, I’m sure this new attempt to essentially steal from taxpayers in order to fund a religion will go nowhere — but then again, these groups may have God on their side, so anything’s possible.
