I guess it was nice knowing everybody.
If you’ve been following the local news – and I’m sure you have – you’re probably aware that at some point today, a deadly Iceman Cometh snowpocalypse super-weather catastrophe is expected to make its way into the Sooner State, shutting down services, power, and food transport, and triggering an apocalyptic calamity that will freeze us all.
Well, at least that’s what it feels like on social media.
Over the past week, I’d estimate — with a high degree of confidence — that the Oklahoma City weather media machine has dropped roughly 25,000 videos, posts, and updates across every platform hyping up this historic winter storm.
I can’t really blame them — I’ve been watching the same clips and now have a fridge full of food I probably won’t eat — but from colorful maps showing outlandish snow projections, to short-form videos of TV meteorologists making second-wave guesses, to jokey memes about Braum’s runs and milk shortages, it’s been impossible to scroll through posts, reels, or AI slop without feeling like this red-state hellscape is literally about to freeze over.
And who knows… maybe it will.
Here’s this week’s briefish Dumpster Fire.
I think it’s spelled freedumb…
Oklahoma ranks somewhere between 45th and 50th in just about every national public-education metric that actually matters, but hey — at least we have “freedom.” Whatever that means.
Yep, the education system may be failing Oklahoma kids, teachers are fleeing, classrooms are underfunded, and test scores are circling the drain — but at least our governor is out here tweeting vague patriotic buzzwords instead of doing literally anything to fix it.

Oil Overlord Crook Living Well in Malibu
Remember Jerry Cash? He's the former Quest Resources oil boss who went to federal prison after skimming millions from his own company and helping torch its stock price — wiping out a bunch of Oklahoma investors in the process.
Well, according to a tip from the Ogle Mole Network, he’s back… just under a new name and in a new industry.
These days, Jerry apparently goes by “JW Ross” and has reinvented himself as a California wellness entrepreneur. He now runs a kratom- and kava-infused drink company that’s reportedly pulling in hundreds of millions of dollars a year, has already survived a class-action lawsuit, and recently bought himself a nice little reward — a casual $30.5 million mansion in Malibu.
From Nichols Hills fraud to bluff-top beachfront luxury, it’s a comforting reminder that in America anything is possible.

News 9 Shares Weird Interview with Charles McCall
I’m not sure what was worse – the tame, almost pre-planned questions, the overly rehearsed answers, or the fact the whole thing was awkwardly spliced together. Either way, I expect better, more polished propaganda from OKC’s conservative news leader.

OKC Finally Gets an ICE Detention Facility
Seriously, what took so long? We’re a purple city in a deep-red state. You’d think they would have started forcing this modern-day Gestapo nonsense on us sooner.

Maybe their money is having a bigger effect on the governor’s race than he thought it would.

Judge Cleared for Letting Rapist Walk Free
It’s outrageous — but not surprising — that no one who contributed to this injustice will face any accountability. But, at least the court of public opinion is far less forgiving than judges who protect their own.

Ryan Walters Is Still a Chode…
Yes, those teachers and their never-ending income streams. They’re the real threat.
