A Q&A With The Executive Director Of The Patient Choice Coalition For Oklahoma
Susan Chepkauskas

The United States was hit with COVID-19 this year and because of that, we had to shut down our country. Coronavirus financially hit small businesses hard, even some big-box retailers are having to shut their doors. We are still in the Coronavirus pandemic; however, Oklahoma is in phase three of reopening. Since it is also an election year the U.S. is going to be having rallies ahead of the election in November. President Donald J. Trump is up for re-election this year. He decided to have his first rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This will be the largest political rally in the history of the United States. I got the chance to interview a friend in politics and he answered many questions that I had, and I will be sharing that with readers today.

President Trump visits TulsaSaturday,June 20th, 2020

1. What is your name and what is your career title?

"Danny Chepkauskas and I am the executive director of the Patient Choice Coalition for Oklahoma, Texas, and Colorado. It is the biggest healthcare coalition in the U.S. I have been in politics for 34 years."

2. How big do you think this is for Oklahoma and the president coming for his first rally? 

"This is the biggest thing to happen to our state. Nearly 1.2 million people have registered for this event. Chepkauskas said the entire country is chomping at the bit to get back to work and if the Democrats truly care about the welfare and wellbeing of the citizens of this state, they must put petty partisan politics aside."

3. How do you feel about president Trump coming to Tulsa?

"I think that it's a phenomenal opportunity for Oklahoma to showcase itself especially with Tulsa Oklahoma competing with Austin Texas for the spot of the Tesla factory. This is the biggest thing ever to happen to our state and the entire country."

4. Why did president Trump originally plan the rally for June 19th?

"President Trump didn't intentionally plan it for Juneteenth and if he did, he wanted to honor the holiday. President Trump has never disrespected another race, back in 2016 he won 8% of the African-American vote and he had 27% of African-American approval. President Trump is all about uniting the country. The U.S. is the most racially, culturally, and socially diverse country."

5. Have you heard about what the safety guidelines are and who set them in place?

"They are checking temperatures and that they must sign a liability and information form, and they are handing out masks and hand sanitizer. The Trump administration is big on the local rule and he asked the state what guidelines they have in place and he followed what the state guidelines for Oklahoma were."

6. Do you have any other comments on the rally?

"Chepkauskas said I have heard there were going to be a lot of protestors, I heard that protesters were going to be bused in from other places."

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
