We have a lot of gullible people who actually are not at all interested in participating in a democracy.


U.S. Sen. James Lankford isnt happy with the Postmaster General whose only qualifications for the job was being a major Trump donor.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is no doubt aware that Lankford almost sunk Trump's "border crisis" campaign by supporting an actual solution.

"Postal Service officials said the agency's 10-year reorganization calls for items mailed in Tulsa to be trucked to Oklahoma City for processing, with those for delivery in Tulsa trucked back.

At the same time, the Processing and Distribution Center at 2132 S. 91st East Ave. is to be remodeled and reequipped, apparently to handle parcels for eastern Oklahoma.

DeJoy said Tuesday that the reorganization will be "paused" this year so as not to disrupt elections — a matter of particular interest to some."

It is just a crying shame that REAL President's can't get rid of truly heinous garbage left by Trump!  Oh, well...his time will end up in a few years and maybe we can get back to improving the post office!


Other denizens of the TulsaNow Deep;

It looks like the Admin has intentionally banned me for some reason.  Every time I change computers and IP address, the ban follows my sign in.  This is the last one I have and I set it to never sign out, but I know it will probably log me out sometime in the future.  No idea why after all this time, but too consistent to not be real - it is tied to my name.   And then connected to each computer I use to sign on, regardless of location.

Anyway, if I don't get to visit again, it has been a good run!   Have enjoyed the conversations with everyone!   Even sauerkraut was interesting as a bad example of how to live your life!

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

'The Postal Service is putting an early step in its network modernization plan on hold, after a bipartisan group of senators told the agency to slow down implementation.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) in a letter last week that USPS will pause the movement of mail processing operations at facilities across the country.'

The Senate will consider a bipartisan border package this week, putting pressure on Republicans to pass a bill that they helped to negotiate months ago.

Republicans torpedoed the same exact package earlier this year, and they are expected to vote against it yet again.

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), one of the architects of the bipartisan package, said last week that he would not support the bill if Schumer brought it back to the floor.

Yeah, that tracks.  Must do the bidding of Mango Mussolini.
