Public poultry sales prohibited as Bird Flu reaches Oklahoma; Prevention plans may be wise

Body
High Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), aka "Bird Flu," a severe disease in poultry, has now impacted poultry in over 30 U.S. states. Oklahoma officials confirmed that bird flu has infected a commercial poultry operation in Sequoyah County, where the entire flock was euthanized and buried. The facility is being cleaned and disinfected. As well, officials are monitoring backyard poultry producers in that county.

Protecting Free Speech

Body
Free speech is the bedrock of our nation and essential to a functioning democracy. Under the First Amendment, free speech is guaranteed as an inalienable right of each and every American. We should take great pride in being the only country in the world which recognizes people’s right to express themselves freely and peacefully, even when others may disagree. Instead, the left has weaponized the federal government in order to prevent the spread of “misinformation” through social media.
