UPCOMING PODCASTS FOR THE WEEK OF 9/18/23

on our Rumble, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter (X) and Telegram channels

Wednesday, September 20th, LIVE @9am

Michael and Jenni

hit the news cycle!

Since we began our podcast April 19th of this year, we've been feeling our way through our format. We love the idea of bringing you guest interviews because it can be hard to track down information today with all the social media channels and outlets, but we'd also like to bring you basic news - news that will impact the education of the kids you love and the fabric of our society. This week, Michael and Jenni will talk about the media and Ryan Walters and lawsuits - the ROPE lawsuit with Stillwater Public Schools and the parent lawsuit against Edmond Public Schools vaccine and mask policies. TUNE IN!

Friday,

September 22nd, LIVE @9am

Karmin Grider, graduated with a master’s degree in executive leadership from Liberty University. She completed her undergraduate work at the University of Oklahoma and currently works as a freelance leadership and business consultant. Karmin has been involved with the Oklahoma GOP for numerous years and, last year, she ran to replace Representative Gary Mize in House District 31.

During her campaign, her house district was inundated with disgusting mailers paid for by Dark Money. This gave her the impetus to learn more about the influences on Oklahoma's election and today, she is working on a website to bring the information she's found to Oklahomans.

ROPE Lawsuit With Brice Chaffin Dismissed By Oklahoma Court Of Civil Appeals

This is a picture of Brice Chaffin being escorted from the podium after attempting to speak at the Stillwater Public School Board meeting, April 12, 2022. Brice had attended the meeting to speak about the District's policy of allowing boys in the girl's bathrooms (which we later found out was happening in many Oklahoma public schools in order to receive Title 1 federal funding).

Brice, a professing Christian, came to the podium and began to speak, but the moment he began to read passages from the Bible, the school board began to interrupt him, preventing him from speaking for the full three minutes and finally, removing him from the podium by force.

There have been several developments in the case - the last being the dismissal of our lawsuit by the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals,which you can read about in this very well done article by Jessica Marshall with Stillwater News Press.

Brice and ROPE have decided - and attorney Maria Seidler has agreed - to continue the case to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Since I haven't made time to update the case via the website, Michael and I will be talking about it on our Wednesday podcast. You'll want to TUNE IN to catch up and find out how SPS has bilked state taxpayers in fighting us in court! (Jenni)

Juvenile Mental Health Crises Shouldn't Result In A Lack Of Rights For Parents Nor Automatic Gender-Affirming Care For The Child

This is the Facebook page of our new friend T.S. Smith. TS has a truly horrific story to tell regarding the way her family was treated in relation to a mental health crisis experienced by her daughter.

T.S. has generously shared her experience with Michael and Jenni via video we will be sharing it on our video channels this week - along with commentary provided by nationally known psychologist Dr. Robert Mather (whom we've had on our show previously) on our Patreon channel. Sign up for a membership and tune in. You won't want to miss this. T.S.' experience is not limited; it is a trend that is ruining children and families that could find its way to your family - even if you're vigilant - through several different routes.

T.S. lost her parental rights at one point in her saga - all over the concept of "gender affirming care" which has become imbedded in nearly every part of a child's life from physicians, to public schools and social workers and, of course, psychiatry and counseling. It is a truly scary issue that every parent should know about.
