    OKLAHOMA CITY (KSWO) - An Oklahoma bill is being proposed which will allow medications such as Ivermectin to be purchased over the counter in the Sooner State. The Bill is SB426 and is authored by Oklahoma Freedom Caucus Chairman Shane Jett (R-Shawnee). The bill requires pharmacies in the state to make chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin over the counter drugs. Ivermectin became world-wide known seemingly overnight during the COVID pandemic. If a pharmacy or pharmacist does not make those drugs over the counter medicine, then the State Board of Pharmacy is to revoke their license immediately. The bill has yet to...

    EVEN IN THE DAKOTA, the storied apartment building on New York’s Upper West Side, home to such cultural icons as Yoko Ono and Lauren Bacall, Buddy Fletcher stood out. African American, fantastically accomplished, and wealthy, Fletcher had grown up in modest circumstances, gone to Harvard, and graduated as “first marshal” of his class in 1987. From there he hit Wall Street, earned millions before he turned 25, and started his own firm, Fletcher Asset Management. By the time he was 30, the company was operating as a hedge fund and boasting of triple-digit returns. Fletcher made multimillion-dollar donations to Harvard,...

    We now know what the document is all about in the John Travolta extortion case.

We're told John Travolta and Kelly Preston had an issue over where Jett Travolta should be taken for emergency treatment. We do not have further specifics, nor do we know why the alleged extortionists thought it was worth $25 million to keep private.

    Dames said police have a copy of a document they have not been able to prove the authenticity of. The document, he said, is a refusal to transport document. This, Dames explained, is signed by a party when refusing, for example, emergency medical services from trained personnel. Signing the document absolves the hospital of liability regarding an incident, he explained. "In this context, a document like that does not apply because as we know young Jett was not... he did not have any minor injuries. He was very ill. And so the document does not come into play," Dames said....
