Welcome to OKCThunderGround!

As CEO and editor-in-chief of the award winning

okcthunderground.com…I’ve always felt the need to correct myself if I’ve erred or gone astray with clearly the most edgy–honest and right on target content in this pathetic fake Christian Oklahoma City market.

This isn’t the horrific Oklahoman, the pedestrian Tulsa World, nor the total sellout Daily Thunder which in essence is run by Sam Presti and his swarmy deputy-in-chief Little Nick Gallo.

Like Howard Cosell used to do during his time..Mike J simply tries to tell it like he sees it on this blog. Nobody owns me. I don’t have advertisors, nor do I want them. I have plenty of money. I’ve always thrived within the American system of free enterprise and haven’t had to be a parasitic trust fund bitch like Donald Trump and his children.

The okcthunderground is simply my way of making sure there’s an objective honest alternative in this godforsaken abyss of intellectual nothingness called Oklahoma.

I was wrong on my intial take on last night’s debate. Kamala Harris was not like Thomas ‘Hitman’ Hearns vs. Roberto Duran. What in fact what we all witnessed last night in Philadelphia was more like Sugar Ray Robinson shuffling and mocking Roberto Duran for eight rounds before Duran simply said, “No mas.”

Does this mean Kamala Harris clinched the election last night? Of course it does not mean this. It just means Donald Trump exposed to the world what he truly is….. a sociopath, a pathological liar, and a loser who’s never won the popular vote in either of his two previous presidential election bids.

Do I think his dumpster fire performance will change the manner in which his base will vote?

Not a chance because I fully realize his base is comprised of racists, unread rednecks, and transactional greedy people who in a sense have sold themselves out to nothing more than how much net worth they can amass during their lives. And of course…there’s the poor white people who know they’ve been left behind since 2008, but can’t come to terms as to why they’ve been left behind or who sold them out.

So enough of that. I just wanted to clear up my debate-boxing analogy as we move forward in this presidential election cycle.

God bless America and the American Dream.

How sad for America.

The Dems were at least smart enough to ease Joe Biden from this upcoming presidential election. It’s too bad for the American electorate the gutless GOP didn’t follow suit and get rid of their convicted felon-fake Christian, senile candidate as well and give all of us at the least a choice between two lucid semi-grownup adults.

From the point Kamala Harris dropped Donald Trump with a right cross fifteen minutes into this debate making fun of the convicted felon’s crowd size as opposed to the gerbil-like dimensions of his tiny hands and raccoon-like genitals…..this debate was over.

It was like Thomas ‘Hitman’ Hearns taunting Roberto Duran the rest of the evening. This debacle should have been stopped five minutes after the before-mentioned landed right cross.

Little Marco Rubio and Lyin’ Ted Cruz…if only you two pathetic lightweights who are an embarrassment to American manhood could have handled Pussy Grabber in this manner…this America-unique Trump brain disease which has paralyzed our country for nine years never would have even gotten to the 2016 GOP Convention floor in Cleveland.

Nikki Haley was prescient when she said the first party to get rid of Joe Biden or the Multiple Convicted Felon would win the White House in November of 2024. After last night’s rambling, grievance laden meltdown by the titular head of the fake evangelical Christian movement in this country it might appear Nikki Haley was spot on with her prediction.

If you’re a Trump fake Christian or some patriotic poser who applauded the Multiple Felon when he dissed John McCain I would at the least hope you people can somewhat begin the process of coming to terms with what your hero truly is or isn’t as a human being.

He’s a spoiled little trust fund bitch punk.

I’ll PUT THIS IN CAPS FOR YOU PEOPLE…YOU ARE A HISTORICAL FOOTNOTE DISGRACE IN AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY. YOU SHOULD BE BANNED FOR A DECADE FROM VOTING IN U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.

Are you people kidding me? Seriously?

The only thing missing from Donald Trump’s historically pathetic performance last night was the Convicted Felon asserting to his braindead base that Taylor Swift’s pet cat was catnapped by illegal Central American immigrants and subsequently eaten in the parking lot at one of her concerts.

You Trump Fake Christians…. How low do we need to get your effective marginal individual and corporate rates to get you people to dump this idiot?

I feel dirty even having to write this on my underground blog in godforsaken Oklahoma which will possibly crest the 82% plurality mark for Trump in November.

How sad for our country this is how far the party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Eisenhower has fallen these past ten years of so.

I’m done. Rant over.

I saw Klay the other night on television at the U.S. Tennis Open and it made me smile. We both love the hard surface Open. I was also happy to see Andryna S win her first U.S. Open. It’s was wonderful seeing her finally mature and settle in with reaching her potential on the court. How unfortunate Nick Krygios hasn’t done the same.

As far as Klay…he will always be one of my favorite NBA players because he was impactful in winning four NBA rings and would have won a fifth ring like Steph if not for the immaturity and selfishness of Draymond Green.

Plus, I love the fact Klay has never been what I would describe as the ‘normal’ NBA pampered star. He’s a grinder, just like me. And back in the day before Klay had the ACL and the Achilles injury back to back he could defend as well as any guard in the league.

‘That’ Klay is not the Klay who will now play for the defending Western Conference champs Dallas Mavs. This Klay basically needs to be a guy who can play 20-22 minutes a game, bury the open three when it’s there, and help space the floor for Luka and Kyrie.

I like Dallas this season. I like what I saw from PJ Washington, Gabbard, and Lively in the playoffs. I have Dallas right up there with Denver and OKC in the West just a touch above the Minnesota Timberwolves. Obviously…I have OKC and Denver basically in a tie at the top to begin the season.

I’m glad Klay got away from Draymond for a last serious shot or two for what could have conceivably been his sixth ring. As you can tell….Draymond isn’t far behind Donald Trump on MJ’s Current List of Dipshits and Deplorables.

Draymond, step it up, buddy. You owe both Steve Kerr and Steph an ‘honest’ NBA season after back to debacle dumpster fire seasons.

I would guess…your antics made Klay’s decision to leave somewhat easier.

Beautiful weather in godforsaken Oklahoma. If was 55 degrees this morning out at the mini-ranch in godforsaken Oklahoma. There was actually what I would describe as a mini nip in the air. This is when MJ feels like Secretariat from sunrise to sunset with the nostrils flaring.

I will talk about OU’s abysmal offensive performance maybe on Tuesday so as not to downgrade my mental state for what should be great fishing weather. Nic Anderson, dude….your teammates need you, especially Jackson Arnold.

Be kind to everyone…if they will allow you to do so.

MJ

What a beautiful day in Oklahoma. These gorgeous temps somewhat mitigate the human godforsakeness of what I would guesstimate to be around 2.8 to 3.1 million Trump Oklahomans.

I fully intend to get back on the blog maybe sometime this evening and blog about Klay Thompson now being a member of the Dallas Mavericks.

But I saw last night Liz Cheney did intend endorse Kamala Harris sometime yesterday. No surprise there for MJ. She believes in real American demoracy like I do… though I’m not as far right as Liz Cheney. She simply did the courageous thing unlike the Trump swallowers in Oklahoma such as Kevin Stitt, James Lankford, and the cage wrestler Markwayne Mullin.

Liz Cheney has more integrity and has a bigger set of balls than those three ‘men’ combined. That is not hyperbole.

So it makes me think of this prescient quote by the iconic General Omar N Bradley in relation to Athenian democracy in comparison to our own American democracy. I know most Oklahomans probably don’t even know General Bradley served under the command of then General Dwight D Eisenhower in World War II and was integral in the defeat of Nazi Germany.

Yeah… I know, the current protectors of apartheid in Oklahoma probably don’t even know the significance of Omar N Bradley, but I’m thinking to myself maybe some hopeless soul in Oklahoma might stumble upon this quote and, you know….have a flash of genius moment and take the Trump sign and the Confederate flags down for a minute or two.

Yeah, right…dream on, MJ.

So here it is.

“OF ATHENIANS”

‘In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life and they lost it all–security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society, but society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free.’

General Omar N Bradley

So there, Oklahoma. Now you can put the Trump signs and the Confederate flags back up.

MJ

I’m in my 19th month as a Stage 4 cancer survivor. Never ever take a day, a friendship, or a sunset for granted. That is the mantra. One day at time and try not to get ahead of yourself. Keep things in perspective.

I’m probably in the best physical, emotional, and spiritual shape I’ve been in …. in maybe forty-five years or so. My cup runneth over…truly it is. I have been touched and blessed by God for these nineteen months.

I owe Dr. Showalter. I do. He closed that door, look through my eyes and my soul, and told me what I needed to be told and said, “Let’s go.”

My muscle mass and weight are back. I’m doing things physically which I honestly didn’t know if I would ever do again.

The journey continues and my spiritiual evolution as well.

These are my five current top pre-workout songs and you know, I think my soon to be five year-old grandson Robert would approve.

1 Seven Nation Army–The White Stripes

2 Eye of the Tiger– Survivor

3 Boomer Sooner!–Pride of Oklahoma

4 25 or 6 to 4– Chicago

5 Running Down a Dream–Tom Petty

Never take a sunrise or a sunset for granted. Smell the roses. Make the time to smell the roses…literally.

Be kind and scatter decency and love…even in Oklahoma.

Eternal peace.

Less than a week now before the big presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Ankle Bracelet Boy. I have to to admit the historian and political scientist in me are somewhat interested.

Should Trump indeed set the tone for this impending WWE Smackdown event by wearing gold plated ankle prison bracelets and then drop the 1-800 number in which the more societal leaning miscreants in his base can purchase a set for $89.95 with a credit card?

Get to work Vince and Linda McMahon….you can do this. Billionaire wheelhouse stuff, guys.

ONLY IN THIS AMERICA….TRUMP’S AMERICA where transactional greed has never flourished as it does circa 2024 could this be the entry to a U.S. presidential debate.

So…how will Kamala Harris conduct herself in this debate?

She needs to remain calm. She should stay away from the Hillary stuff and not assume every person in America not yet convinced she should be POTUS is a deplorable societal miscreant.

She should go high and give the impression that she could possibly in fact do a few things to help the average American who wasn’t propagated from a billionaire’s sperm bank… or is a DNA descendant of Alex Jones.

That would be my starting point and I’d hammer on that theme throughout the debate.

How can a real president help the average American navigate life in 2024 in what has become America Crazy Land?

If I were her…I’d hit the fracking thing and calmly explain why the Green New Deal can never be the sole template for American energy policy moving forward. It doesn’t work by itself exclusively. Even if you’re the most lit-woke member of the far left… by now you should be somewhat coming to terms with this.

I’d offer James Lankford and his fellow gutless GOP senators the opportunity to bring their very same immigration bill to my desk on DAY 1 to sign. And then I’d sign it because it would be the most important piece of immigration legislation in the last thirty years or so. Duh.

These are the kind of real things real presidents do to help real Americans.

Then I’d point out to Ankle Bracelet Boy the 150 member bi-partisan Association of Political Scientists recently rated the list of American Presidents one through forty six.

Hmmn…MJ wonders to himself how that went?

Lincoln, a Republican, edged out FDR for the No. 1 spot on the list. Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican as well, I think was around No. 5 on the list behind Washington and Jefferson. And…Dwight D. Eisenhower, yet another Republican, was in the top eight. Go figure…three iconic Republicans made the top eight and not one of them would give this ‘dubious person’ the time of day if they were still involved in American politics.

So where did Trump rank?

No. 46. Dead last where one would hope a convicted felon would rank.

Where did Joe Biden and Kamala Harris rank?

No. 14.

Probably could have been higher if they hadn’t had to clean up the mess of the previous four years created by POTUS 45 who ranked No. 46.

The end.

Love and peace, Oklahoma.

Several snarky comments on my private message box in regards to the recent fishing and travel blog content of late. Que sera. Too bad.

MJ is pacing himself. What else can I say?

OU played Temple and Oke State didn’t even play a Division I school. I’m not wasting my time blogging about either one of those games. OU plays Houston this Saturday, and Oke State vs. Arkansas is the noon national game. So… at that point MJ will begin blogging about this college football season.

I did however watch the USC Trojans handle the team I hate the most in college football…that being the LSU Tigers. Great game. I don’t hate Lincoln Riley. I hope other OU fans at some point can put that behind them. It’s kind of like the whiney bitch attitude of the Thunder fans when KD left to go the Warriors so he could have Steph as his point guard instead of Russell and win a couple of rings. That was a tough decision, eh.

As far as the NBA…I need to get going a bit this week with what will be my award winning coverage of the 1 Denver Nuggets, 2 Golden State Warriors, and 3 OKC Thunder. Some of you Thunder fans who have left inappropriate comments on my private message box in regards to my comments in regards on the Thunder the past three NBA seasons…should be pleased that I now consider the Thunder championship relevant. And I will announce right now I have the Thunder listed as my No. 4 team most likely to win the NBA Championship this season.

As far as the worthless piece of shit human debris human junk bond who I will not name on my blog any longer….MJ will wait until after the ‘presidential’ debate to comment on the trajectory of this absurd Kamala Harris vs. the Human Junk Bond presidential election cycle.

My Labor Day weekend was stellar. I changed my lake schdule and only visited the Sportsman Lodge Lake between Seminole and Wewoka….and then fished Lake Carl Blackwell in Stillwater with nephew Noah yesterday. I caught a few fish each day, but nothing spectacular.

But just being MJ Nature Boy and being out at these beautiful Oklahoma lakes was beyond theraputic for me. Maybe if some of you human rabble who plan on voting for the Felon should try the nature thing some time and see if it might help you regain some human perspective.

Next Sunday… I think MJ might end up at either Lake Wewoka, Lake Holdenville, or possibly the highly touted Lake Konawa.

It’s time for me to go work out and I need to get musically pumped.

Love and peace, MJ

The horrible Oklahoma weather in July and August has subsided for the time being. This is fishing weather for Mike J. Plus, the college football is awesome as well.

For me…these are the components of Oklahoma which I really love….fishing and OU football. Maybe tourament racquetball and golf as well before my right knee and cancer issues. They’re part of my soul…my DNA fabric. My memories of my fishing mentor…Joe Carter Sr., when I was a young kid are still with me as on old man. I learned quite a bit from observing ‘Joe Senior’ given he was probably one of the greatest anglers in Oklahoma sport fishing history. He was literally buried with his fishing gear gently strewn on his body inside his casket. What a great dude. A gentle, solid giant of a man.

My schedule is very much going to be fishing oriented for the next six days. It will go in this order…..Robertson Municipal Lake this evening in Seminole, Shawnee Twin Lakes early tomorrow morning ( first time there for me ), crappie and channel cat fishing at Lake Carl Blackwell with my nephew in Stillwater,… Alex, Oklahoma pond on the family land (great black bass pond), Lake Canton, and then maybe the best of the three ponds here on the HOA grounds near the mini-Deer Creek ranch which has some of the best fishing around for those who actually….. you know, how to fish. One of the great things about having dumbass white Trump people out here is that they don’t know how to fish and the fish population is always strong. These people told me twenty years ago they couldn’t fit fish stocking into their budget. So I’ve taken care of that myself for the last twenty years. Good lord. I’m so grateful me and Klay Thompson aren’t really white.

So anyway…I’m outta here. On the road gone fishin’ and ‘Running Like the Wind’ as long as God allows me to do so.

Joe Jr. goes yard off Mitch ‘Wild Thing’ Williams to win the World Series. The kid from Millwood High School. I still get goosebumps.

Have a beautiful Labor Day week-end.

Mike J

Big night for the Sooners in their inaugural SEC season. Temple is awful, but you know what…Jackson Arnold needs to gets his groove on and start showing the college football world why OU in no way sweated Dillion Gabriel’s departure to Oregon.

BTW….good luck, Dillion. Unlike some in Sooner Nation….MJ loved you. You did fine…the defense and field goal kicker…not so much.

This will be my third workout since our return from Denver and afterwards I have to go by Integeris and pick up my September chemo and steroid package.

Kamala did pretty good last night. Her answers on fracking and the nuance she used in explaining why submissive cowardly GOP senators like James Lankford will need to step on the pending immigration bill were admirable.

Obviously…MJ will never ever vote for the felon, punk, sociopath, pathological liar who will not be named again on this blog, but I think Kamala completly stands where she needs to stand with intelligent, pragmatic former Republicans like me if she wants to win this election.

Can’t wait to see to see the debate if the human junk bond shows up.

Have a wonderful college football Saturday.

BOOMER SOONER!

We’ve been back from Denver for a couple of days and thankfully the godforsaken Oklahoma heat is supposed to subside tomorrow when a game changing northern front reaches the mini-ranch in Deer Creek.

So it looks like I’m going to make it through another summer. We cheated though this time around by spending almost half of July and August in either Crested Debutte, Gunnison, Seattle, and Denver. If MJ continues the Stage 4 cancer journey in a good way then the plan next summer is to escape godforsaken Confederate Oklahoma for six of the eight weeks of the July-August period.

Hopefully… my sister Jan will be retired in San Diego by then and we can hang around Del Mar with her and her iconic cat Zumi for at the very least a week. San Diego is my birthplace. It’s where I want some of my ashes tossed into the Pacific Oceanalong with a Pacifico beer bottle. It was MJ’s beginning and it will be his ending spot. It just seems right that way. I refuse to have MJ’s ashes left in a Confederate state even though I Bleed Crimson and feel as if body parts of me are literally sprinkled randomly throughout the Deer Creek ranch/nature reserve.

We spent almost three hours at the incredible Denver Botanic Gardens. It was INCREDIBLE. Right there on a par with the nature reserve on Bainbridge Island and the Woodland Rose Garden next to the zoo in Seattle.

It’s the Teddy Roosevelt in me. Mike Pence is completely full of shit. Donald Trump in no way is like TR. Mike J is another story. I feel as if TR’s soul is in me with the love of reading, nature, botany, and never fearing to enter the ‘Arena of Life’.

Of course spending time with the very high energy Robert (4) who clearly has some Russell Westbrook’s competiveness in him…and the steady Aubrey (3) is always a cherished time for Mike J as well.

I had two great meals at places in Denver where OU fans and alums are revered as if one were in Norman. Stoney’s Sports Bar is actually a sports bar in downtown Denver owned by an OU alum and probably my favorite place to have a Coors Light, a pulled pork sandwich, and just take in the aura of the Sooners’ greatness.

And then my second great meal was at this little hole in the wall Mexican sports bar I accidently stumbled into on University Street just a bit south of the University of Denver campus. A home run for MJ in that it was this beautiful little bar/restaurant just right for grinders like me who’ve worked their asses off their whole life and need a break from white people. I had the best Chille Relleno ever.

I washed it down with a couple of Canadian beers and found myself sitting with some OU fans who migrated over to my table after seeing my There’s Only One Oklahoma T-shirt on. Ya….they invited me to come back for the OU-Texas game and be their honored guest. People are so nice. They truly are. Plus, we spent one night in a Sleep Inn in Oakley, Kansas and a group of K-State fans sat with there as well at the breakfast bar after seeing the iconic OU T-shirt.

Pretty soon MJ needs to tell Joe C who his best ambassador is out there besides DeMarco Murray in the world beyond Norman.

OU starts the their first SEC season tomorrow night hosting Temple. One would hope the absence of Nic Anderson will not be a big deal in this game.

DeMarco Murray, dude…MJ’s suggestion is that you keep the cell phone in your pocket during the ESPN telecast.

THERE’s ONLY ONE OKLAHOMA!!!

Peace, Mike J
