We attended the 2nd and 3rd district conventions

this weekend. Other than Brian Hobbs getting elected as a delegate to the RNC Convention, Kreeper Krems serving as the parliamentarian, and Patriot Roberts becoming an elector (really, CD3?), the district conventions were pretty lame. CD2 was done far too quickly. Boring! But that wasn't the news of the weekend.

Did you watch college basketball this weekend? We did. Apparently, the thing in college basketball is to shoot three-pointers (and LOTS of them) from as far back as you can independent of whether any of them go in.

Quickly: for those of you that think that China, who doesn't give their own people constitutional rights, and limits time and content on the app in their own country deserve a first amendment right to OWN an app that our state and federal governments won't even allow on government-owned devices, you have a serious problem.

Fresh off of a meeting in Coweta with a national PR firm, we are energized that so many of you have embraced our blunt, no-frills coverage that calls out the BS from our own side. Demand for our emails increases nonstop, and we appreciate the feedback and support. Shall we jump in? We don't know where to start this morning!

Let's start out talking about something predictable. It was always going to end this way, wasn't it?

Just a couple of articles for you today:

Gentle Reader,

It has come to our attention that a website has been created as a library of our content at www.oksmokesignals.com. We did not authorize this, nor do we know who set it up. That said, we don't oppose it. We'll refer to it as a tribute page. You should let people comment on it, we might even join in from time to time. Shall we get started?

We had not written in a while and many of you checked in on us. We also told many of you that we didn't plan to write as regularly this year. But here we are, writing a second piece this week. You go when the news tells you to go, I guess.
