Who Cares for Jimmy Kimmel?

Editorial: I wish I could say that Jimmy Kimmel was a morally criminal, emotionally unstable, and cognitively incapable human, but I only know what little I have seen of him on television. I can assume his core from his minion-like goosestepping for Leftists, but my personal exposure has been limited from the analysis in 2017 that Jimmy Kimmel was inaccurate, not funny, and boring.

Fortunately, his show will not be carried, according to media reports, by Tulsa’s KTUL, a local ABC affiliate owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group. The station is admired for it’s accurate investigative local news coverage to which we can now add corporate good character and public courage.

Stovall: Said & Done

I have long believed and often said that we live in a world in which when it’s all said and done, there’s too much said and not nearly enough done.

Just what the world has been clamoring for, my uber-lengthy take on the state of the Fourth Estate!

Don’t Put OK Seniors’ Health at Risk

I am a retired insurance executive who has been a Medicare Advantage member for years. Despite working in the insurance industry for most of my life, quality healthcare would have been out of reach for me without the support of Medicare Advantage. I certainly would not be able to take care of my health the way I can as a participant in this program. In general, medical costs are simply too high. Fortunately, Medicare Advantage helps me maintain my health and make it a priority, all within my budget.
